Overview

A.B.A is a pure Risk/Reward character who thrives on duality. She starts in Normal Mode (NM), in which she has neither great damage nor mobility, save for DraggingGuard:

, she enters Moroha Mode (lit. Double-Edge Mode). While in Moroha, A.B.A gains a massive increase in the damage of her attacks, her overall speed, her pressure and ability to crank the guard bar, as well as several other bonuses that force the opponent to think twice about disrespecting her. Most notably, Moroha Mode gives A.B.A access to the best install super of the game, AltercationGuard:
MidStartup:

13Advantage:
+5, allowing her to get into Goku Moroha Mode. With incredible running speed, two airdashes, and a full suite of jump-cancellable normals, Goku Moroha allows A.B.A to blitz her opponent to death before they can even blink.

This comes at a cost, however. In Moroha and Goku Moroha mode, A.B.A's attacks will drain her own health whenever make contact with an opponent, whether that's a hit or block. She also has an active meter which will slowly drain towards empty, and will lose about 30% every time she is knocked down and goes into a wakeup animation. When the meter empties, she forcefully reverts back into NM with Suka MotionGuard:
Startup:
Recovery:
Total 52Advantage:
, a lengthy stance that makes her susceptible to eating a full combo or getting Instant Killed, more than any other character. She can avoid this vulnerability and regain some of her self-inflicted damage by exiting MM/GM manually via landing another keygrab, consuming a bloodpack, or entering GM. With these many options and resources, ABA can be fairly obtuse to learn, and despite her relatively low execution barrier, resource management is key to her gameplan so that her true risk/reward potentials can shine.

A.B.A is best for players who love to balance risk against reward. Learn to love her double-edged playstyle.

A.B.A puts a strong emphasis on risk/reward by managing her slow, yet versatile, "Normal" Mode and her two incredibly oppressive, but life draining, "Moroha" and "Goku Moroha" Modes.
Pros	Cons
Strong Anti-airs: A.B.A has access to powerful anti-airs in all 3 forms that can all lead to great damage, corner carry and knockdowns on hit, as well as cover a variety of aerial approach options that can force opponents to approach more carefully or simply stay grounded Deceptive Tangibility: A.B.A's hurtboxes are infamously weird, with many characters struggling to properly hit her. Combined with her super heavyweight nature, this can make A.B.A weirdly hard to combo. Burst Mobility: Normal Mode has slow walk speed, but gives A.B.A access to the extremely low profile DraggingGuard: Startup: Recovery: Total 28Advantage: to duck under things in neutral. Moroha and Goku Moroha, on the other hand, have best-in-class movement. Multiple airdashes, jump-cancellable normals, and one of the fastest runspeeds in the game all give Moroha A.B.A extreme threat in neutral. Great Installs: Normal Moroha mode gives ABA high mobility, oppressive pressure, decent mixups, strong pokes and great damage, not to mention access to Danzai and GM. On top of that, her Install super, Goku Moroha, is one of the best supers in the entire game, with even the activation itself being an oppressive attack, alongside the massive boost in offensive capabilities and life refill it leaves you with. Tanky: Despite her health drain mechanic in her installs, A.B.A's high defense modifier and stun resist allows her to survive longer than average. Additionally her ability to self heal when exiting Moroha with BloodpackGuard: Startup: Recovery: Total 40Advantage: , KeygrabGuard: All(65 pixels)Startup: 13(4)Recovery: 30Advantage: -32, or when activating Goku MorohaGuard: MidStartup: 15+2Recovery: 13Advantage: +5 can help to alleviate much of the health lost during her installs. Snowball Potential: Even in Normal Mode FB DraggingGuard: Startup: Recovery: Total 26Advantage: allows her to escape almost any offense and turn the tables. During installs she gains extremely oppressive frame-trap based offense which leads into very damaging and hard to burst combos.	Normal Mode: ABA begins every round in Normal Mode, which has somewhat awkward normals, as well as generally poor and committal mobility. ABA often needs to RPS at the start of every round in order to gain access to her stronger tools in Moroha mode Health drain: During both Moroha and Goku Moroha, ABA will constantly take self inflicted damage as she hits the opponent, which can only be healed back by using Bloodpacks, Keygrab or Goku Moroha. Poor management of her health can often lead to sudden deaths by abare Limited Unique Resource: ABA uses her bloodpacks to enter and exit Moroha Mode safely, as well as to enter Goku Moroha, and mismanagement of these can leave her stuck in Normal Mode, or in a disadvantageous position in Moroha Mode with no means of safely escaping it Knockdown Vulnerability: If ABA exits Moroha Mode without using her command grab or spending a blood bag, she'll enter a very long animation called Suka Motion. This leaves her vulnerable long enough that she can be punished with big combos or even certain IKs.

Unique Mechanics

Mode Switch

A.B.A starts every round in her Normal mode. A.B.A can switch to her Moroha mode by either successfully hitting the opponent with Bonding (keygrab) or by using Injecting (bloodpack). While in Moroha mode, all of A.B.A's normals (notably S and H) and specials are significantly changed for the better, but she must manage a constantly depleting unique meter, and she will inflict self damage upon hitting the opponent or making them block. Also, with 50 meter, A.B.A also has access to a heavily-improved version of this mode called Goku Moroha mode.

Blood Packs

A.B.A starts each round with a limited resource known as Blood Packs. Blood packs can be used as a supplement to her Moroha/Goku Moroha mode and allow her to manually enter/exit said modes in neutral.

Moroha Mode Movement Stat Changes

Below is a basic overview of movement stats which change during each of A.B.A's modes. For a full list of movement values, check the full frame data page.

Mode	Backdash	Air Dashes	Initial Dash Speed	Forwards Jump Speed	Forwards Air Dash Speed
A.B.A	17F (1~8F Strike Invuln)	1	7.0	5.5	10.0
A.B.A (Moroha)	16F (1~8F Strike Invuln)	1	11.0	5.5	16.0
A.B.A (Goku Moroha)	20F (1~8F Strike Invuln)	2	14.0	5.9	16.0

	StartupThe time before an attack is active including the first active frame. For example, an attack with 10F startup means the attack will do nothing for 9 frames, then hit the opponent on the 10th frame. Frames
	ActiveThe active frames of an attack refers to the amount of time an attack can hit the opponent. Frames
	InactiveFrames in the middle of multi-hit attacks which cannot hit the opponent, but are after the move has become active at least once. Frames
	RecoveryThe recovery of an attack refers to the amount of time an attacker must wait before he may perform another action, even blocking. Frames
	Special RecoveryThe recovery of an attack refers to the amount of time an attacker must wait before they may perform another action.Recovery frames which happen under abnormal conditions, such as after landing. Frames
	ProjectileIndicates an entity that exists separately from the character was spawned. Usually something like a FireballA projectile which usually travels slowly across the screen in a horizontal path above the ground.. Spawn
	CancelA window in which to cancel a move. Can be varied in usage. Window

While 5P isn't much of a traditional FG jab, it sees good use as a reactionary anti-air/counter-poke, with three frames of head invulnerability. Its speed also helps ABA convert falling j.H at any height into 2D > keygrab.

On block, however, this is where the move really shines, as you have the option to mix them up with a proximity throw keygrab or with a frame trap, using either 5K, 2D or 6H, to prevent jump-outs.

A vital normal for Normal Mode ABA. Despite being slow, it practically covers 1/3 of a screen. Knocks down on CH, so it generally works in your favor on a trade. Don't whiff this.

On hit, you can combo into keygrab or rekkas > bloodpack to enter MM. On block, thanks to its great pushback, you can cancel into bloodpack or whiff cancel 2D to reset back to neutral. You can also cancel into slide and remain fairly safe as a gimmicky way to stay close to the opponent.

A move just like ABA: A huge risk to throw out, but it comes with a 2.5x stun modifier, making it inflict CRAZY stun on CH. Land a counter, bloodpack or keygrab, land half a BnB, and watch them get dizzy.

Since it hits at a slightly upwards angle, it makes for an OK preemptive AA and tags opponents out of airdashes. If blocked, you can try cancelling to 236K to remain somewhat safer. Don't whiff this.

One of the defining features of ABA's Normal mode. Shrinks her hurtbox down and stays active until landing. Certainly a good jump-in, with which you can also do crossups, though do note its small hitbox.

Generally safe enough on standing block that you can cancel it to 5P to extend your pressure. If IB'd though, you can be punished by DPs or throws, though you can gamble with keygrab as a frametrap. High risk - high reward.

ABA's Dead angle is faster than most dead angles and comes with significantly more invulnerability and knocks down the opponent. However, it's usually a much better use of meter if you can IB > FB slide (see below) their pressure/oki, especially when your back is against the corner.

The start of ABA's rekkas. One of the better hitboxes in NM. Works great as a knockdown tool in case 2D > keygrab isn't possible.

At midscreen, you should always go for the full rekkas to get enough frame advantage to use bloodpack, or FRC the last one for the keygrab. It's unsafe, but its long range and decent pushback can make it a bit safer. Otherwise, it's a rather slow poke that shouldn't be thrown around in neutral recklessly.

The last part of her rekkas. Forces ground-slide state on hit. Has an FRC point just as Paracelsus gets slammed to the ground. Plays an important part in the standard Normal to Moroha Mode BnB, which is [xx > 1st rekka > 2nd rekka > 3rd rekka FRC > dash > filler > keygrab].

In the corner, provided ABA's close enough to the opponent, you can do continue the combo meterlessly by linking with c.S/f.S/2S > keygrab, or 2K c.S > keygrab (on mids/heavies only), though both of this are rather tight.

The frame trap between 2nd and 3rd rekka has a gap, so it is highly gimmicky and is generally unsafe, especially on block, so avoid overusing this.

Keygrab. The most important move in your arsenal. Your top priority is to land or combo into this in Normal Mode, as it'll knock down, do some damage, and transform ABA into Moroha Mode.

This move acts as both a command throw and a strike. If from anywhere from frames 4-9, the opponent is in a throwable state and the move is in range, it will grab them. Afterwards, it will turn into a strike for the remainder of its active frames, meaning that the move can also be combo'd into. If the strike is blocked, however, it becomes very unsafe.

Vitally useful. Being an evasive slide, A.B.A. becomes very low-profile when executing this move, making it great for sliding under projectiles or anticipated pokes for a throw > Keygrab. You can even slide under stuff like 2Ps or Robo-Ky’s knee bazooka! Just beware of lows/being thrown before the slide is over.

Has an FRC point just as A.B.A. tucks herself inward, which can be used as a last resort to cancel the slide if baited, or to bait your opponent into attempting a punish. At times, slide can also be a gimmicky movement option, especially after 5H on CH/block or 6H on hit.

A slow-starting projectile that travels for a short distance before fading away with some lingering active frames, this move can be annoying to punish from a distance due to its fast recovery. After ending a Moroha combo with an air Keygrab, you can toss this out upon landing for a good oki tool. If you have 25%, you can FRC just as the projectile appears and Bloodpack for an almost entirely safe transformation back into Moroha.

It's not guaranteed to come out if you get hit, but you'll sometimes get away with it in neutral to give your opponent something to deal with while you sneak in a quick Bloodpack, or bait them into your AAs.

Bloodpack. Burns one blood bag to put ABA in Moroha mode without having to land a combo or Keygrab. Has some strange invulnerability near the end of the animation.

This is just as important as keygrab, as it guarantees transformation on frame 23. Do this after max range 5H on block, from a distance, or if you're feeling ballsy and want to use the very late, very short invuln frames to go through something like Slidehead.

The best move in Normal Mode. Just like regular slide, except it's entirely invincible for its full duration, and thus completely unpunishable except against those who throw on the first frame it ends.

It will evade oki, including meaty setups. It will slide through moves and supers, even stuff like Raou’s Bellows Malice, for easy Keygrabs. It has a huge FRC point, which is highly useful in certain situations since you can FRC to choose which side of the opponent A.B.A will appear on, or to buffer into a surprise Keygrab. A 25% "reversal" option never looked so good.

Doesn't work out of dash normally, but can be done with a Negative Edge D held during dash startup then let go during it's cancel frames, giving you stronger control of positioning in situations such as going through Justice N.B. sets from further away and Testament Zeinest/HITOMI setups designed to catch normal FB Dragging distance.

Normal mode exclusive. Despite not having full invul all the way through startup, it can kind of work as a reversal, sometimes.

Better for damage if you can actually land a kill combo in normal mode, or delay the followup hits into a frametrap. It also has FRC points on every hit, in case you want to extend into pressure or make it safe. Note that the 2nd followup of this super has much less untechable frames, so you might want to end it after the 1st one for an easy keygrab.

It's probably best to cancel into the followup hit this most of the time since it'll push the opponent back and make the move safer despite being -26.

With its amazing range and disjointed hitboxes, Moroha f.S is a staple for your neutral, and is also a beefy poke to start your pressure game.

As it hits twice, you can throw this out to stuff hyper armored moves or familiars that eat hits (Little Eddie, Zappa's Dog, Dizzy's Fish), which nicely leads to 5H or rekkas. No longer hits low unlike in Normal mode.

Even though it's 2f slower than NM 5H, this move hits twice, builds a ridiculous amount of guard bar on block, and vacuums on the second hit, which is also an important part in your Moroha refresh combos (xxx > 5H with both hits > 1st rekka > 2nd rekka > double keygrab). On crouching opponents, you can also combo this into 6H for optimal damage and meter gain.

Due to its lenient cancel window, you can also frame trap with Moroha ABA's various gatling options: either 2H, 6H, 2D, or even rekkas, allowing you to keep the opponent close and get their guard bar flashing in about a second. An excellent pressure tool that is somehow 0 on block.

There is a gap between 5H 2nd hit and the first hit of 2H on block that can be reversaled through, but is unthrowable on normal block. 3 frame normals such as Sol and Order-Sols 5K or A.B.As 5P will beat this. 4 frame normals will trade with the second hit but will leave A.B.A at enough advantage for her to be able to combo dash c.S. 5H 1st hit to 2H is gapless unless IBed

No longer a slow CH stun fishing move in Moroha, 6H now hits twice, gains jump cancels, sports exceptional range, cranks the guardbar nicely, and hurts a lot more. The fact that you can jump cancel this means that on block, you get to do some gimmicky pressure resets via 6H (1) > IAD j.H. Alternatively, you can just do 236S to end pressure more safely.

On its own, this move mostly sees use against people trying to backdash her oki on wakeup in the corner, or those trying to low profile f.S or 5H from far away. If you managed to land a hit from max range, rekkas or butt (421H, air hit only) are your only meterless options.

One of the most oppressive normals in the game, it does practically everything: moving ABA forward, forcing crouching state on the 1st hit, launching on the 2nd hit, cranking the opponent's GB and being +2 on block. A great combo tool and pressure extender that the opponent will learn to respect in no time.

Being slightly airborne before going active means ABA is throw-invuln during this window, so you can use this as a nice meaty button. To top it off, MM 2H also has an FRC point just as the axe touches the ground for the 2nd hit, which is excellent for applying baits or pressure. Insane.

In Morohaville, 2D's range grows from standard to absurd. Near the corner, you can confirm into rekka loops (except on Axl, Baiken, Bridget, Millia, and May). At max range, you can use it to bait reversals, and include a hitstop OS with rekkas. It will convert on hit, but you'll be safe on whiff, as long as you space it properly.

Notably, on CH or against light characters, you can combo this into GM activation, leading to a nice damaging combo with knockdown and oki.

Excellent air-to-air. Slightly slower in comparison to NM j.S, but has much better range, damage, and attack level. Crucial for her fuzzy high/low mixups.

Your standard setup for fuzzies is [j.S > dj.S > falling j.H > land] into more combos. These lead to BIG damage, upwards of 300+ depending on guard bar and available tension. Since it combos to j.P or j.K, you can fuzzy guard by doing [j.S > j.K] or [j.S > j.P]. The latter isn't as useful since the hitstun on j.P is subpar, but the reward from j.S > j.K is superb. Knock an opponent down in the corner do [running j.S > j.K > dj.S > j.H]. Done properly, this is airtight, and if the opponent blocks low at any point, they're getting fuzzied. Other options include land > throw after the fuzzy, or do more j.Ps.

ABA's notorious air normal. Aside from gaining huge hitboxes in Moroha, j.H also tucks her hurtbox upwards, making it great not just for air-to-air interactions, but also for jump-ins, especially crossups. The built-in OS with airthrow doesn't do your opponents any favors either, so don't hesitate throwing this out in neutral.

On CH, you can easily confirm it into a short KD combo or ludicrous damage, despite its prorate. On normal hit/block from IAD height, you can link it to 5P, which easily leads to your ground strings. People hate this move.

In Moroha, keygrab heals ABA for 80% of the self inflicted damage she sustained, while switching her back to Normal mode. You'll want to go into this when comboing to end it, but specifically when your Moroha meter is close to empty: generally better to play it safe than sorry.

If the move initially lands as a throw, ABA can follow up with another keygrab, meaning that going into a raw throw keygrab will let you OTG another and go right back into Moroha mode if you were in it to start with. This allows you to refresh Moroha mode with double keygrabs via 2nd rekka stagger [xxx > 2nd rekka > keygrab x2]. However, this double pickup doesn't work if the first lands as a strike (except on ABA herself), but she can instead do some combos that lead into Bloodpack FRC > keygrab.

Danzai. Having throw invuln and a single hit of armor on the upswing, launching on both hits, sporting huge hitboxes and huge pushback on block to help make this one of the best specials in the game. It will blow up pokes or telegraphed poke out attempts, can AA, beat reversals or throws, or even absorb blue Burst!

Just be sure to keep the following in mind: it only absorbs one hit, so multi-hitters or fast attacks will beat it. This move also loses to supers, and gets punished by the gap inbetween the hits, if the opponent blocks the first one. Some characters also have char-specific ways to deal with Danzai as well, so keep in mind to not overuse it. Additionally, the armor won't keep you alive if you're already near death.

As Danzai is a special move, it is also cancellable to GM activation (with 50 meter), making it a particularly dangerous offensive option.

Orbs. A slow but rather far-reaching air special, you should use this move preemptively in neutral to deter the opponent from being too mash-happy during air-to-air situations. Since this move creates projectiles, they’ll linger and sometimes trade (usually with the rear orb) when you get hit first. On CH, you usually get a short air combo or a short ground one ending with butt.

You can also use this move low to the ground as a meaty to bait wake-up throw attempts. Moreover, it's possible for both orbs to touch the opponent on oki situations, which will hurt a LOT on hit, though this is usually not reversal safe. Has an FRC point to remain safe, though, just as A.B.A. begins to tuck her outstretched leg back in, right when the orbs become active. Dash jump at downed opponent > orbs (FRC) on top of them > 2K, 5D, etc. to begin pressure.

Where this move shines the most is as a crucial component of several of A.B.A's combos. Due to the fact that it has a uniquely high amount of air untech time while launching the opponent up, A.B.A is allowed enough time to land and continue the combo in several situations, even moreso with the FRC. Because they are projectiles, performing the move on top of the opponent can allow both to hit the opponent at the same time, dealing massive damage and giving increased untech time.

Occurs when the Moroha gauge completely empties. ABA is stuck in a lengthy recovery animation that isn't cancelable into anything. If this happens to you, it's very likely that you'll lose the round.

Suka Motion will not activate while ABA is in the middle of another move's animation., so you can continue to perform gatlings and special cancels after the Moroha gauge disappears, as long as she:

Is in the middle of an attack animation
Follows regular Moroha's gatling rules (you will not be able to do gatlings that are only possible in Goku Moroha)
Does not return to neutral state on the ground (you can still jump cancel after the gauge runs out, but Suka Motion will activate upon the next landing)

If your Moroha gauge runs out mid-combo/blockstring, you can end it quickly with keygrab, bloodpack exit, or activate GM to recover safely.

Moroha-exclusive bloodball. A lingering projectile that hits 6 times. Thanks to its FRC point (identical to NM version), you get to set up some cheesy setups by doing FB bloodball FRC > dash in, followed up by either throw or flipkick, though this can be backdashed. However, it's better to save that meter for GM activation most of the time.

The multihit part of the projectile has a weird property where the gap will always be the same, ignoring hitstop when it hits. This means against Jam's parry and SB the projectile will still lock them in hitstop preventing them from even using a reversal option.

The follow up travels backwards and hits overhead again. Will often whiff most or all of its hits, and will not really do a lot of damage either way. Keep in mind that using this at ALL, including on block, hit, or whiff, will cause A.B.A's next Danzai, INCLUDING FB Danzai, to lose armor, or in FB Danzai's case, super armor.

Your win condition. Provided you have one bloodpack and enough meter, ABA performs an aggressive mode switch attack with hitboxes completely surrounding her, then switches her to Goku Moroha mode, replenishing her Moroha gauge and turning it blue in the process. It's invulnerable from frames 1-15, staggers on ground hit, wallbounces or knocks down on air hit, and cannot be interrupted. You can cancel into this super from anything grounded (normals/specials, except EngorgementGuard:

In this state, ABA gains a tremendous speed boost for both her movement and her attacks, double airdash, jump cancels for most of her normals, extra FRC points for many of her specials along with wider FRC windows, and extra properties for some of her moves. But most importantly, her gatling limitations are removed, as she can now cancel any normal into anything, as well as reverse cancel them (i.e. 6P > 5H > 6P > 5H > etc). Let them know fear.

Do note that in GM, ABA also inflicts more self-damage on hit/block, so make sure to not overextend in pressure.

5P reaches its full potential in Goku Moroha mode thanks to its unrestricted gatling routes, allowing you to whiff cancel this move from virtually any other normal on block to remain completely safe. For instance, you can do xx > f.S > 5P > whiff cancel f.S > 5P > whiff cancel etc, which is an airtight blockstring if done correctly. On block, you can mix the opponent up with tick throws, or extend your pressure into S or H normals for frame traps/remaining plus. A more detailed explanation on this can be found here

While still a tad slow at 11 frames, Goku Moroha 5H is still a fantastic and multipurpose normal.

There is a gap between 5H 2nd hit and the first hit of 2H on block that can be reversaled through, but is unthrowable on normal block. 3 frame normals such as Sol and Order-Sols 5K or A.B.As 5P will beat this. 4 frame normals will trade with the second hit but will leave A.B.A at enough advantage for her to be able to combo dash c.S. 5H 1st hit to 2H is gapless unless IBed

No longer a slow CH stun fishing move in Moroha, 6H now hits twice, gains jump cancels, sports exceptional range, cranks the guardbar nicely, and hurts a lot more. The fact that you can jump cancel this means that on block, you get to do some gimmicky pressure resets via 6H (1) > IAD j.H. Alternatively, you can just do 236S to end pressure more safely.

On its own, this move mostly sees use against people trying to backdash her oki on wakeup in the corner, or those trying to low profile f.S or 5H from far away. If you managed to land a hit from max range, rekkas or butt (421H, air hit only) are your only meterless options.

One of the most oppressive normals in the game, it does practically everything: moving ABA forward, forcing crouching state on the 1st hit, launching on the 2nd hit, cranking the opponent's GB and being +2 on block. A great combo tool and pressure extender that the opponent will learn to respect in no time.

Being slightly airborne before going active means ABA is throw-invuln during this window, so you can use this as a nice meaty button. To top it off, MM 2H also has an FRC point just as the axe touches the ground for the 2nd hit, which is excellent for applying baits or pressure. Insane.

In Morohaville, 2D's range grows from standard to absurd. Near the corner, you can confirm into rekka loops (except on Axl, Baiken, Bridget, Millia, and May). At max range, you can use it to bait reversals, and include a hitstop OS with rekkas. It will convert on hit, but you'll be safe on whiff, as long as you space it properly. In Goku can start pressure from halfscreen with 5P whiff rebeat pressure in order to give yourself better frame advantage on block. Against certain characters (Potemkin, Robo-Ky, Anji, Testament and Johnny) 2D->whiff 5P->f.S is a link that allows you to confirm into rekkas from max range on hit and is + enough on block for f.S to be a true blockstring

Excellent air-to-air. Slightly slower in comparison to NM j.S, but has much better range, damage, and attack level. Crucial for her fuzzy high/low mixups.

Your standard setup for fuzzies is [j.S > dj.S > falling j.H > land] into more combos. These lead to BIG damage, upwards of 300+ depending on guard bar and available tension. Since it combos to j.P or j.K, you can fuzzy guard by doing [j.S > j.K] or [j.S > j.P]. The latter isn't as useful since the hitstun on j.P is subpar, but the reward from j.S > j.K is superb. Knock an opponent down in the corner do [running j.S > j.K > dj.S > j.H]. Done properly, this is airtight, and if the opponent blocks low at any point, they're getting fuzzied. Other options include land > throw after the fuzzy, or do more j.Ps.

ABA's notorious air normal. Aside from gaining huge hitboxes in Moroha, j.H also tucks her hurtbox upwards, making it great not just for air-to-air interactions, but also for jump-ins, especially crossups. The built-in OS with airthrow doesn't do your opponents any favors either, so don't hesitate throwing this out in neutral.

On CH, you can easily confirm it into a short KD combo or ludicrous damage, despite its prorate. On normal hit/block from IAD height, you can link it to 5P, which easily leads to your ground strings. People hate this move.

Largely identical to the Moroha version aside from the FRC point added just before the attack hits which can be used to OS whiffs or extend juggles and ground combos that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to extend. Less used due to her better combo options in Goku but still a vital part of Rekka loops in the corner, and can still refresh moroha due to the stagger effect on the 2nd hit allowing a combo into KeygrabGuard:

Gains even more groundslide time in Goku Moroha, allowing for up to 4(!) reps of Rekka loops in the corner against most characters that Rekka loops work on. The FRC point is also wider and it has less recovery in general, but is still rather unsafe on block. Generally less favored than butt loops due to lower damage but still builds a lot of meter for A.B.A and gives her conversions from a lot of ranges

In Moroha, keygrab heals ABA for 80% of the self inflicted damage she sustained, while switching her back to Normal mode. You'll want to go into this when comboing to end it, but specifically when your Moroha meter is close to empty: generally better to play it safe than sorry.

If the move initially lands as a throw, ABA can follow up with another keygrab, meaning that going into a raw throw keygrab will let you OTG another and go right back into Moroha mode if you were in it to start with. This allows you to refresh Moroha mode with double keygrabs via 2nd rekka stagger [xxx > 2nd rekka > keygrab x2]. However, this double pickup doesn't work if the first lands as a strike (except on ABA herself), but she can instead do some combos that lead into Bloodpack FRC > keygrab.

Danzai becomes even better in Goku Moroha, as it becomes a whopping 6 frames faster, with a shorter gap between the hits and less recovery, making it better for anti-airing, defense and generally just pestering your opponent with enormous armored hitboxes. Best of all, in Goku it gains an FRC point just as the first hit connects, which can make your opponent guess as to whether you'll let it rip or FRC it on block to get free plus frames to continue your pressure with, as well as allowing you to bypass the 2nd hits heavy forced proration for the cost of 25 meter. The FRC can also be done on whiff, potentially saving you from a whiffed danzai

Orbs. A slow but rather far-reaching air special, you should use this move preemptively in neutral to deter the opponent from being too mash-happy during air-to-air situations. Since this move creates projectiles, they’ll linger and sometimes trade (usually with the rear orb) when you get hit first. On CH, you usually get a short air combo or a short ground one ending with butt.

You can also use this move low to the ground as a meaty to bait wake-up throw attempts. Moreover, it's possible for both orbs to touch the opponent on oki situations, which will hurt a LOT on hit, though this is usually not reversal safe. Has an FRC point to remain safe, though, just as A.B.A. begins to tuck her outstretched leg back in, right when the orbs become active. Dash jump at downed opponent > orbs (FRC) on top of them > 2K, 5D, etc. to begin pressure.

Occurs when the Moroha gauge completely empties. ABA is stuck in a lengthy recovery animation that isn't cancelable into anything. If this happens to you, it's very likely that you'll lose the round.

Suka Motion will not activate while ABA is in the middle of another move's animation., so you can continue to perform gatlings and special cancels after the Moroha gauge disappears, as long as she:

Is in the middle of an attack animation
Follows regular Moroha's gatling rules (you will not be able to do gatlings that are only possible in Goku Moroha)
Does not return to neutral state on the ground (you can still jump cancel after the gauge runs out, but Suka Motion will activate upon the next landing)

If your Moroha gauge runs out mid-combo/blockstring, you can end it quickly with keygrab or bloodpack exit to recover safely.

The multihit part of the projectile has a weird property where the gap will always be the same, ignoring hitstop when it hits. This means that against Jam's parry and SB the projectile will still lock them in hitstop preventing them from even using a reversal option.

Everything good about regular FB Danzai becomes better in Goku due to the faster startup allowing you to more easily blow through and punish things. Coupled with the FRC point that's identical to meterless Goku Danzai gives ABA a disgustingly powerful callout tool at the cost of 50 meter, that on block is completely safe and on hit gives her an unscaled launcher.

No longer hits overhead, but now allows you to follow up with additional hits by inputting j.214K for some extra damage. Its usage is identical to NM version, though, and there's an even better super you can do in Moroha mode for which you should really save up meter.

The follow up travels backwards and hits overhead again. Will often whiff most or all of its hits, and will not really do a lot of damage either way. Keep in mind that using this at ALL, including on block, hit, or whiff, will cause A.B.A's next Danzai, INCLUDING FB Danzai, to lose armor, or in FB Danzai's case, super armor. Not amazing by any means.
