Korone is a simple, but powerful all-rounder with an aggressive playstyle. This brawler doggo is not afraid to get up close with her strong approach tools. While Korone's tools are straightforward, they are more than enough to make the opponent second-guess picking a fight with her.
Playstyle
Korone Inugami is a rushdown-styled "shoto" character with high-mobility tools that support an aggressive gameplan.
Pick if you like
Avoid if you dislike
Simple and Straightforward Characters: Korone has a fairly simple gameplan and relatively low execution requirements. Tools such as j.S can be used for many things, such as approaching, resetting pressure, and punishing with relatively low risk, making her an easy character to pick up.
Multiple Reversal Options: Korone has access to a fully invulnerable DP with 22H, a fully invulnerable super with 214S, and a high damage ultra low profile super with 236S
Good Pokes: Korone's 5M is a fast, long, disjointed and low-recovery poke that moves her forward. She also has access to basic projectiles with 236X.
Strong Pressure: Korone's 2L and 5L have lower pushback on block than average which gives her access to strong stagger pressure while her 0 on block 2M and command dash 22S offer solid ways to reset pressure.

Note: As this section of the page was written shortly after the game was released, its only purpose is to help guide new players towards assists that are generally considered useful for the character, and should be revised by an experienced player as the game develops more. Don't be afraid to pick and try something else!
Amelia's L+H time slow is very flexible in how it can be used combined with Korone's kit (neutral, defense, offense, combo extension, forcing scrambles, etc.) so just having it stocked demands respect from the opponent as they will experience double the frames if you get a clean activation on them. It even lets her convert her rising j.L instant overhead into a full combo!
Her 214S makes Korone's strike/throw game much scarier, since it allows her to combo off of throw and 3H knockdowns for a sizeable amount of damage.
Her fastest normal, good for abare. Otherwise used for combo filler/hitconfirms.

(5~40) Head
2H is a fantastic anti-air and combo piece for Korone, it's consistency and vertical coverage makes it the go-to choice for challenging jump ins and relaunching opponents in a juggle. It also has head invulnerability that lasts all the way through the move's recovery.
Korone's 2H will automatically place the opponent directly in front of her at an elevation, even when antiairing disjointed hurtboxes, you'll need to adjust your launch combo timing according to this or it may drop
chaining 2H after a magic series (LMH) will whiff midscreen, so only do this in the corner (drop the H from your string to combo into 2H midscreen)

Korone's longest reaching air normal. The hitbox extends a bit behind her allowing for cross-ups.
Uniquely has low enough recovery frames to whiff while rising and recover in the air. If this happens, then Korone will be able to hit another air button or use air chainsaw before touching the ground. If additional air moves are done after the air recovery, Korone will not experience the 3 frames of landing recovery tied to normal jumping Medium moves.

Has a minimum height usage restriction when done from neutral of around 1 character height
Propels Korone forward with a swinging active chainsaw hitbox. This be used to punish projectiles or whiffed normals in neutral. Generally safe against both normal and instant block, but can be made more safe when used closer to the ground.
This move has a minimum height restriction while rising, but not while falling. Frame advantage varies depending on if it is blocked standing or crouching with stand blocking generally making the move more minus on block compared to crouching blocking.
