Startup data refers to the time it takes the orb's trigger box to come out, orb spawns on f11, trigger box activates on f26, orb's actual explosion has 5f startup once triggered.
Orb fizzles out on f348.
Aoko puts her hand forward and an orb floats out. After its initial startup, it will detonate automatically when an opponent gets too close to it.
Up to 2 orbs from 214A/B are allowed on screen at the same time; repeating the command for an orb you've already set will destroy it and replace it with an orb at your current position.
Any orbs made by 214A will be replaced if you use j.214A. Similarly, any orbs made by 214B will be replaced by j.214B.
Holding the attack button during the initial input will move the orb forward until you stop holding the button.
If Aoko is hit, then any deployed orbs disappear. They also disappear on their own after a period of time or if they are hit by attacks.
One of her main oki and space control tools.

Aoko sets out a large orb that does multiple hits when it detonates. Unlike 214A/B, it will detonate near instantly if the opponent is close enough during startup.
This move is pretty similar to the A and B orbs; C can be held to move it forward, it disappears when Aoko is hit or after it's been deployed for a while, and using 214C or j.214C when a 214C or j.214C orb is already out will delete the old 214C/j.214C orb and replace it with a new one.
However, 214C's orb counts as a separate orb from 214A/B and j.214A/B orbs, so it can be used even if you have one or both of those orbs out already.

Data listed is for A (B) [C] orb respectively. Frame advantage is for the fastest pop of A (B) and [C], followed by the {+24} you get from any stray orb pop. Startup listed refers to the time it takes to put the orb on the screen; the earliest detonation is 8 frames afterwards.
Aoko points and sets out an orb that will move to a fixed position and then automatically detonate.
The strength of the button used determines how far away from Aoko the orb appears. A doesn't move and is right at her fingertip, while B travels a bit farther than an unheld 214A/B and C is almost halfscreen at max range.
When any attack button is being held before a 421X orb detonates, the orb's detonation is paused until no attack buttons are being held down. You can, for example, do 421[A], then 421B without holding B, and keep both orbs from detonating as long as you hold A the whole time. You can also switch which button you're holding as long as you don't release all of them in-between switching.
214X/j.214X orbs DO NOT OVERLAP WITH 421X orbs. This means you can set orbs with 214X or j.214X and then set 421X orbs as you see fit. However, only 2 orbs from 421X are allowed on screen at the same time. If you try to set a third 421X orb, you will get the 214X version of whatever 421X orb you're trying to set.
Another critical part of Aoko's oki and space control kit.

An aerial version of 214A/B, where Aoko sets an orb in midair and then falls to the ground.
Very loose height restriction, so when the input is tiger kneed, Aoko will set the orb extremely close to the ground.
After the orb is set, Aoko will fall forward if she was moving forward before setting the orb. Otherwise, she'll fall backward.
Pretty much all the same rules and restrictions from 214A/B apply here, except held inputs will instead give a charged version (listed below).
Any orbs made by j.214A will be replaced if you use 214A and vice versa. Similarly, Aoko may only have one orb from either 214B or j214B out at a time.

Aoko does a backward flipkick and shoots an upward laser from her initial position.
Jump-cancelable on hit only.

22A is gigantic, the hitbox pretty much matches what the visuals would imply, it's fairly active, and it covers a very important angle for melty so you should get familiar with confirming off it. Typically you convert off it in combos & off stray hits with SJ j.[C](1) > j.236A > ground normal, if you're super close just j.9 instead of SJ. Since you can't jump cancel on block, learning the SJ timing and always inputting it without hitconfirming is also a good strat. If you aren't confident in the SJ timing or otherwise got a really really high non-fatal hit, wait until you land and do 236C, you should be able to dash up and convert with 623A or 5B afterward.

This sees much less use as an anti air due to the smaller hitbox and longer startup when compared to 2BC and 22A. It's instead used to end pressure in the corner at a safe distance to pester with 236A, 2BC, 6BC etc without getting hit by quick pokes like Tohno 2C or Roa 214A. Since it truestrings from Rapid Beat you can use this to correct any mistakes in pressure while maintaining some form of advantage.

Similar to the B version, but there are more lasers that cover more horizontal ground.
Jump-cancelable on hit only.

Probably Aoko's strangest EX move damage-wise. While it looks like it fires 7 pillars forward, it actually fires off 1 big hit that expands outwards for 6 frames, and then travels forward for 9 frames, with a new hit every 3 frames. Every instance of the hitbox hits 3 times... What all of this means is damage wise this move pretty much has a "sweet spot" where you will get all 6 hits and it becomes her 2nd most damaging EX move (With the highest minimum damage at 540 total, though the instances where this optimzation is possible are few to none), otherwise it's her least damaging one.

It's insanely fast so you'll see it used to net punishes at ranges where 2B won't hit (Blocked Shield-A when outside of 2B range, for example.) In combos, it's used when no other EX move will hit and you need emergency damage/hitstun at the end of a wack confirm, or to put out a hitbox when trying to make a whiffed special move safe, since it only has 3 frames less recovery than 214C but comes out in 6 frames to punish any commitments made before superflash. It also has some utility in corner routes, enabling you to place a 421X orb mid combo and still convert into 3C, enabling a 421X orb safejump which has some merit over the standard 1BC orb safejump.

Aoko fires a beam diagonally downward while halting all momentum before recoiling back slightly.

A more specialized air version of 236B, this can be seen in some high damage corner routes as a tk. This move is really punishable on whiff without much reward on hit unless you have moon drive, but having negative edge orbs on the ground to cover your landing can make this move a real nuisance for some characters who lack a good answer to it. It can also be used to stall your air momentum when the opponent expects a landing j.B/C and you don't have air options left to bait with, but don't do this without MD to cover your whiff.

Nun is fully invincible until active.
when you are hit during the first 8 frames the nun will stop (verification needed)
The Nun will run until she is close enough to strike the opponent.
Air unblockable.

Arguably Mario's most important move, 236A allows Mario to be a constant nuisance almost anywhere on the screen. The Nun is fully intangible as she moves towards the opponent until she’s in striking distance, meaning she always has to be addressed. At fullscreen, 236A works as both a zoning and anti-zoning tool. Closer up, it works as a reversal and a get-off-me tool, among other things. Since the Nun will continue its command even if Mario is being attacked (after around 8 frames), 236A turns a lot of bad situations into trades with the opponent.

236A becomes much more of a threat when Mario gets 1 bar of meter, allowing him to combo 236A into 236C and convert into a full combo. This conversion can be done meterlessly if the opponent is in the corner, or if the opponent is hit towards Mario. With the new update, this move is now jump-cancelable which makes it to meterlessly convert from any range. Despite all of 236A’s upsides, it has a ton of whiff recovery and an opponent simply jumping over the Primary Nun can put Mario in danger. Plus, an opponent can hit the Nun once she becomes tangible and disable her for a while.

The Nun rekka is also the most consistent way to put the Primary Nun behind the opponent, which makes it much harder for them to deal with her and means the Nun doesn't have to travel any distance to attack them. Even if the opponent tries rush Mario while the Nun is behind them, 236A will chase them back to Mario and attack the opponent from behind. With 1 bar Mario can also convert the rekka into a full combo with 236C from fullscreen, which will bring the opponent towards Mario and can lead to a sideswitch.

When used close to the opponent in blockstrings, will also leave Kohaku plus. Particularly relevant in corner, when Kohaku can become +1 on block against crouching opponents by canceling into this move after a Rapid Beat series.

Kohaku pulls out a potted tree which, after a small delay, starts spinning rapidly for a prolonged amount of time.

Both versions vanish when Kohaku is hit or techs a throw, but not if she is blocking.
Both versions may not be used while 22C, 2BC or one of the trees is active. There is also a short cooldown after the trees vanish in which you also may not place an additional plant down.

22B

The infamous okizeme tree - Kohaku's character defining move, and the one her gameplan revolves around.
After a humble 61 frames, the tree will start spinning for over a second, locking down a blocking opponent for up to 81 frames.
- During this time, Kohaku is free to do whatever, trying to crack open the opponent's defense, typically either forcing the opponent to make risky wake-up options (such as shield) or force them to hold Kohaku's pressure in which she doesn't even need to worry about hitconfirming, as the tree will do it for her.
Hits up to 10 times.
Due to its slow speed, typically used after a hard knockdown (such as after a grounded throw or 236C), but also sees use as a risky pressure reset provided the opponent expects something else.
Allows for tons of creativity in setups and pressure, by for example delaying the tree so it doesn't hit meaty to sneak in a grab. The sky is the limit.
Care should be taken when hitting opponents that are being hit by the plant, as making them airborne (with, for example, a sweep like 2C) will likely result in the plant re-hitting them, resetting their untech time and making them recover sooner than anticipated, as they will be caught just pixels over the ground. Always wait until the plant is done hitting them before launching!
Causes additional combo proration, resulting in decreased combo damage.

22[B]

Charged version causes the tree to slightly take off and fly upwards in shallow angle, moving mostly horizontally.
Longer total duration, but the time the tree becomes active is only 2 frames slower.
Locks the opponent down on block for 1 additional hit, up to 88 frames, but will still only hit 10 times during a combo.
Its advancing nature makes this tree a surprisingly good tool in neutral once things have slowed down or as another way for Kohaku to oppress her opponent's wakeup with an additional option that will also catch backdashes from afar.
Use in corner is generally not recommended, as the tree will just swiftly fly off the screen and stop pressuring the opponent.
Does not have increased combo damage proration like the uncharged version, and will do significantly more damage as a combo starter.

Kohaku pulls out Johnny, who after a significant delay spits out 4 fullscreen traveling fireball projectiles.

Neutral and fancy combo tool
On hit, fireballs cause a completely untechable launch which leads into a hard knockdown if they touch the ground.
On block, fireballs cause 24 frames of blockstun each, with a variable gap between each hit. (4F if they do nothing, 5F if they walk backwards, 1F if they are in the corner).
Sees use in neutral to force a reaction in MUs where the opponent cannot instantly punish it from full screen (e.g. Vlov).
In combos, grants Kohaku insane corner carry, but requires specific setups. Can also be used in niche corner steal crossup setups.
Kohaku can run towards her opponent to artifically increase the gap between the fireball hits, allowing for grimy tick-throws and other trickery.
Like other projectiles, Johnny will vanish when Kohaku is hit, but not if she is blocking.
Johnny may not be used while another Johnny, 2BC or one of the trees is active. There is also a short cooldown after Johnny vanishes in which you also may not place an additional plant down.

Kohaku pulls out a spinning, small pine-tree which swiftly flies off diagonally upwards at a high angle.

Preemptive projectile anti-air and combo/blockstring tool
Air blockable, but covers the airspace for a respectable amount of time
Tons of untech, allowing Kohaku to easily convert into a combo if it hits someone, counterhit or not.
Projectile properties make this move not clash with hitboxes, giving it application in beating out particularly annoying jump-ins, especially if they increase the hurtbox size of the opponent.
Too slow to be used as a reactive anti-air, typically thrown out as a hard read/with another plant setup on the ground to cover any run-ins.
When used close to the opponent in blockstrings, will also leave Kohaku plus. Particularly relevant in corner, when Kohaku can become +1 on block against crouching opponents by canceling into this move after a Rapid Beat series. If the opponent is standing, it is even more plus on block, depending on how many hits are blocked.
Vanishes if Kohaku is hit, but not if she is blocking something.
Can be situationally used for air unblockable setups with Moon Drive.

Kohaku puts out a cactus that performs a flurry of punches.

Unlike the other plant moves, this one has a hitbox as it comes out.
- This hitbox hits overhead.
- Combos started off this are heavily prorated
- Overhead hitbox will only combo into the rest of the move if hit on crouching opponents
- Can be used during blockstrings as a gimmicky overhead mixup or on oki to catch players expecting 22B off-guard. Do mind that it is extremely reactable due to the blue Moon Skill flash and hitting on frame 35 against crouching opponents, which means an attentive and knowledgeable opponent will easily shield and get a guaranteed punish.
Once the cactus becomes active, it will repeatedly punch the opponent while advancing forwards, though it won't cross through them unlike 22[B].
11F Gap between the overhead and the flurry, 3F gap between the 6th and 7th punch.
Final punch launches opponent away on hit and wallslams in the corner.
~101 frames of gapless blockstun in the corner.
