Born into the lap of luxury, Cocoa didn't want for anything. One day, growing bored with life, Cocoa started playing the MMORPG "True Dark Age" (a.k.a T-DA) and became obsessed with her character Uriel. Now, the girl who always got everything she wanted wants nothing more than to turn this boring world called reality into the world of T-DA.

Overview

Cocoa is an aggressive fighter with some of the fastest attacks accompanied by high Damage output. While lacking in any long-range power, Cocoa's close-range strength is pretty unmatched in frame advantage, damage, combo, and mix up.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Blistering Offense: besides lacking a command grab, Cocoa has a myriad of offensive tools at her disposal, and can perform multiple mixups in a single blockstring once she is in. Stun: long combos and potent mix on oki means it takes less hits to dizzy an opponent, giving her comeback/snowball potential against characters with low stun resistance. Barbarischer Nagel: This is Cocoa's tool for high damage output, it has minimal damage scaling and always leads to a soft knockdown. this allows cocoa to spend relatively low amounts of resources for high reward off of her mixups. Mobility: Stumpfer Flugel and air Kurzes Messer let Cocoa close the distance from various angles with minimal Risk, on top of Cocoa dash speed being one of the fastest.

Lack of Range: Cocoa has no tool to threaten at full screen and needs to close the distance, while her mobility helps, zoning/keep out specialist still gives her trouble in neutral against characters who can outbox her. Momentum driven: Once Cocoa has the momentum, she can decimate the opponent as fast as Gaito, but she lacks the endurance and comeback potential that Gaito has. Limited Defensive tools: Cocoa EX Kurzes Messer has some invincibility but it's short and tied behind resources, making it unreliable. however, the meterless version still low profiles so she is not without her options. Hard Style Counter-pick: Opponent can pick hardstyle to gain advantage against Cocoa, "Protection" hamper her rush down with little else to circumvent this.

Style overview

The go-to for cocoa, as having access to SS cancel is integral to her ability to do high damage off of mixups, she also can use slipshift dodge to deal with heavy zoning.

Protection is the main reason to pick this style, Hover on regular jumps is somewhat useful to cocoa but still falls a bit short in comparison to quick's double jump, and 4b, despite being a very strong overhead, isnt as useful to cocoa as she already has so much mix at her disposal. Schöne Fledermaus can come in handy in some match ups, but overall hard style's lack of reward makes it a niche pick.

Cocoa benefits minimally from omnia style. despite her ability to generate meter relatively quickly and the fact all-range is extremely useful to her, gaining 400% meter in a round is still near impossible. There's really no good reason to use this.

5AAA

5AAA	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancel Guard Attribute - - - - - - High - one of cocoa's many overhead options, but will whiff on some characters (mikoto & her clones) crouching.

5BBB

5BBB	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancel Guard Attribute - - - - - - High - Cocoa's most reliable overhead, easily convertable into a full combo and will not whiff on anyone crouching. However, can whiff at max 5bb range as its horizontal reach is subpar.

6B

6B	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancel Guard Attribute - - - - - - High - important overhead available as a cancel from most normals. can only be canceled into 6c and 5sp, meaning you will need to spend resources for damage from this, and hit confirming it can be tricky to do safely.

Special Moves

6SP

Stumpfer Flugel 6SP

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancel Guard Attribute Light - - - - - - - - command dash. if the opponent is in proximity by the end of the dash, cocoa will perform a flurry of advancing attacks, followed up by the claw from 5c, which is prone to whiffing on blocking opponents at some distances. Medium - - - - - - - - same as light but ends in the kick from 5bb, which is more conistent on blocking/standing opponents but often whiffs on airborne ones. an option if the opponents gaurd is already dark red and forcing a gaurd break is possible, but its high punishability and lack of practical use in combos makes this the least useful of cocoa's specials. Heavy (100%BG) - - - - - - - AUB damage squeeze. can combo after

2SP

Kurzes Messer 2SP	Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancel Guard Attribute Light - - - - - - mid, high - Last hit is an overhead Medium - - - - - - mid, high - low profile reversal, Last hit is an overhead Heavy (100%BG) - - - - - - Low, mid AUB low profile before the flash, invincible several frames after. The first hit is cancelable into other EX moves

4SP

Barbarischer Nagel 4SP

Itai deshou? Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancel Guard Attribute Light - - - - - - - - The core of cocoa's quick-style gameplan. can loop into itself using slip shift cancels(4L+S, 5sp, 66, 4L+S....) has high minimum damage, generates >30% BG, and leads to a hard knockdown. these loops do not work on fin, however. Its generous hitbox also allows it to be used as an antiair. Medium - - - - - - - - 4L+S but worse. slower, lower damage, no knockdown, generates less meter, and comboing with 5s requires specific timing/will not work in the corner. the only tradeoff for all of these downsides is a bigger horizontal hitbox and the ability to do routes on characters where 4L+S loops drop. Heavy (100%BG) - - - - - - - AUB damage squeeze, can combo after depending on combo scaling. generally not worth it unless securing a kill and the combo is otherwise too scaled for 4L+S looping.

Quick Super Attack

Unendliche Angst 5H+SP (200%BG) Gamer rage Gamer rage

Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancel Guard Attribute - - - - - - ALL AUB quick style phantom break. good damage but the duration means that to get the max out of it you'll need to land it very early in tension time. Use outside tension time or securing a kill is not advised, as it will reset cocoa's meter to 0, limiting the damage off the next immediate mixup significantly. NOT A REVERSAL. HAS NO INVINCIBILITY

Hard Super Attack

Schöne Fledermaus 5H+SP (200%BG)	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancel Guard Attribute - - - - - - all - Hard style phantom break. really good for out of context tension time TODs and very little else
