Pick if you like

Avoid if you dislike

Essence of Grappler - Also known affectionately as the 'Coco Buster', 236G has a swift 4f startup, does great damage, and gives her a hard knockdown. When she has 2 bars of meter, 236S commands absolute respect from her opponent thanks to it's lack of superflash and ability to eat through attacks with it's super armor. Spitting Fire - Coco builds up temporary burn damage on the opponent, and can easily loop 214L in combos to stack up a ton of it, allowing her to obliterate an opponent's life by cashing it all out with a single 236G. Threatening Mixups - 5L, 2L and 5M all give you terrifying tick throws into either a frametrap, or a delayed 236G. After securing a hard knockdown, she also has enough time to go for a high-low mixup on the opponent's wakeup with her j.S. Deadly Anti-Airs - 2H, 3H and 2S are all very effective at snatching the opponent out of the air while evading jump-in attempts, often leading to explosive damage if she has Superchats for 22L 22M loops. Great Counter-Pokes - 3H, 214L, j.M and 5H can all be very effective at catching extended hurtboxes and punishing attempts to throw projectiles at a distance when used wisely. Tankiness - Has the highest health in the game at 1100, letting her survive more interactions on average than the rest of the cast. AsaCoco - Guaranteed 100% refund if you don't feel it's effects!

Getting Anti-Aired - Coco's strongest oki setup requires her to be in the air, which leaves her susceptible to moves with frame 1 head invulnerability. Dependence on Resources - Coco's big damage routes and combo extensions require use of Superchat cancels and/or assists, and fighting against projectiles can become a real struggle when she does not have access to her 236H. Committal Neutral - Coco's best neutral tools have extended hurtboxes during their startup, noticeable blindspots, or slow recovery, making them very risky if used carelessly. Large Hurtbox - She's really, really big.

Please note that this page is full of memes. Don't protest, this is what Kaichou herself would have wanted.

Burn Effect

Burn is potential true damage that will be applied on a successful Essence of Dragon Drop, 236G. Coco applies a burn on 5L, j.M, 214L, 214M, and 214H. Burn can be stacked. It lasts for 3 seconds then begins to heal at 60 per second.

Recommended Collabs

• Amelia - Amelia's 214S ground pound grants Coco amazing damage during her combos, and allows her to convert off of more moves than she normally would be able to. Her timeslow also not only cripples the opponent but allows Coco to perform 22L/22M loops without spending any SC, potentially leading to massive damage on hit.
• Moona - Moona's 214S is an amazing counter-zoning neutral assist that can convert into a full combo. It is better to save your Superchats for cancels since Moona's off-collab isn't as useful as the damage and combo extensions that the Superchat meter provides.
• Roboco - Roboco's 214S beam can help you get in, as it destroys other projectiles and goes full screen. Just be sure to capitalize on the opportunity it gives you. Her missiles can potentially enable extended j.S mixups as well.
• Kanata - Kanata's 214S grab can be converted into a combo from almost anywhere, and a side switching grab makes Soran Bushi pull the opponent towards Coco instead of pushing them away.
• Kiara - So about those zoners... Kiara's reflector can help a lot with fighting them. Take it and don't look back. Her 214S can also help fix Coco's lacking combo game.

Poor horizontal range, but hits directly above Coco. Anchors the opponent to a specific position on hit. This makes the following combo consistent, and allows it to break super armor. Lowers Coco's hurtbox during startup, so some attacks still whiff against it even before the head-invulnerability kicks in.

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 120 Low, Air Unblockable 11 3 20 -11 +54 (HKD) None Universal sweep. Very good range and hits at round start. Note that 2M > 3H or 5H > 3H will not combo from round start range. The hard knockdown leads straight to an OTG combo or a dash up strike-throw mixup. EXTREMELY unsafe on block. Punishable even at maximum range by some characters. Cancelling into 22S just makes it worse at -17 on block. If the opponent attempts to punish with a standing attack, it's possible to intercept them by cancelling into 214L or 214M. This is still unsafe if the opponent waits. Deals a surprisingly low amount of blockstun, which can be abused up close with a late-cancel into 236G for a tick throw.

Is extremely punishable on whiff, so try not to miss. Leaves the opponent at halfscreen distance. Any and all burn damage accumulated on an opponent is "cashed out" when this attack lands, increasing its damage tremendously. After it hits, the recovery can be cancelled with scc j.S. Out of the corner, this is mostly useless as the only air normal with enough range to reach the opponent is j.M, which can be crouched under, but in the corner it can potentially lead to a high/low or left/right mixup using a meaty j.M, 2L or j.H.

Frame 14 is an OTG-only hit with a long horizontal range. Long enough to connect after a max range 3H. The followup counts as a separate OTG regardless of how the first hit connects. This means 22H counts as 1 OTG against an airborne opponent, and 2 OTGs against a knocked down opponent. Be careful about hitting the OTG limit. Can combo into scc 22G. In the corner it links into 22G without needing SC. If done on a juggle opponent, will restand them into a comboable state If done on a grounded opponent as an OTG, will restand them into an IPS state Deals 135 burn damage.

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability - - - 0 26+ - - (14~End) Projectile Grants 5 superchats on use A surprisingly useful move. Causes Coco to begin her crab walk as long as the S button is held. Projectile invulnerable on the 14th frame until the button is released. Helps against zoning. Improves the frame advantage of 5H on block or hit. Also improves 5M and 2H though they are still very unsafe. Using it after other normals makes them worse so should be avoided. 214L scc 22S is very advantageous on block, assuming the opponent doesn't duck under the fire. Can be used in neutral and during blockstrings to somewhat safely generate meter. After 3H, Coco can use this move twice and still have enough time to meaty the opponent.

j.S

Dragon Glide Air Only

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability - - - - 37 - - None Coco's airdash. Sends her straight forward, but halts her horizontal momentum when it's done or when cancelled, causing her to fall straight down. Can only be performed once per jump. Cancellable into air normals after 20 frames. For example, j.S > j.L can hit as early as frame 27 (20 + 7). Allows her to go for high/low mixups after a hard knockdown. j.S > j.M can be input either late to hit the opponent high on their wakeup, or early to intentionally whiff a fake overhead into a meaty low 2L. However, the high option is vulnerable to moves with 1f head invulnerability (Korone's 22L, Fubuki's 22L and Aki's 5M) and both lose to metered reversals. With a knockdown that gives her enough frame advantage (such as from 214L > scc 22S > 3H), it can allow her to go for left/right mixups by using j.2H, as well. Has a minimum height requirement which is reached 7 frames after inputting a jump. Starting from the ground, j.S > j.L hits on frame 34 (7 + 20 + 7). Does not have a minimum height requirement when cancelled into from another move.

Has significantly more range than Coco's other stationary grabs. Coco with 2 bars is very scary up close. Cancelling into this from a dash causes the forward momentum to be preserved in the air for a followup combo.
