Idol Showdown/Coco Kiryu

4th Chairman of the Kiryu Clan - Dragon-Style Grappling

Introduction

Coco is a hard-hitting yakuza dragon who demolishes her opponents with powerful command grabs. Once Coco manages to close the distance, she shows opponents what it truly means to be the Legendary Dragon of Hololive.

Please note that as the game is still in its early lifespan, certain information may become outdated. Also note that this page is full of memes. Don't protest, this is what Kaichou herself would have wanted.

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 120 Low 10 - - -18 +44 None Universal sweep. Very good range and hits at round start. Another way to start Oki pressure.

Use it to open up defensive opponents who are preoccupied with blocking.

Combos

General

Coco can combo into her command grabs so long as they connect on the last frame of hitstun. You can pickup after 236M with 5LM2H. 214H launches for a full combo.

Coco's combo potential is fairly dependent on SC and meter, but her damage output after forcing an air reset into 22M is nothing to sneeze at.

Ame seems to be the most useful assist for enabling Coco's combo game. Aside from having 3 bars for SC cancels:

3H>214S is an easily hit-confirmable 1 bar combo starter.

Very basic 1 meter, no SC pickup from 3H using Ame.

3H>OTG 22H~214S forces an IPS air reset into an unblockable 22M setup for 800+ damage with enough SC meter.

Ame super should be activated right around the second hit of 22H. This works on everyone in the corner and midscreen on air tech forward. Smaller characters may be difficult or impossible to catch midscreen even with perfect timing.

Ame IPS Reset Demo

Mid-screen

Coco's typical midscreen no-assist filler generally looks something like:

Launch > (214L > SC 22S > 5M2H) loop as desired > Ender

5LM2H5H > 214M > SC 214L ~ 663H > 22S ~ 22H can be used as a basic BNB and builds enough meter for and Ame air reset.

Note: SC 22S can be replaced with Burst in most routes

Corner

OTG 22H extends in the corner. If the 22H hits airborn you will be pushed back too far for the extension. xx > 2H5H > 214M > SC 214L > 5M >etc. can be used as relatively meter efficient mid-combo filler in the corner.
