Momoko (KOF:XI)

From SuperCombo Wiki

Introduction

A new addition to the franchise, a (apparently younger looking then she is) girl with physic powers and a practitioner of capoeira. Momoko is one of the hardest characters you can play in KOF XI. If you want to play her effectively, a lot of practice time is going to have to be sacrificed. She has a very small profile, so she can duck under most fireballs and standing attacks, but that also means that her range is very small.

Other Information

Segunda Pula is a double jump that can go straight up, or forward at an upwards angle.

Fumi Atakki is a hop attack on the opponent. Kof.sk.png version propels you from the enemy, as Kof.lk.png doesn't. Can be used infinitely if in the corner, until your opponent gets smart and rolls. A good strat for this one would be Three Kof.lk.png versions into a Kof.sk.png version, land into a Qcb.png+Kof.sk.png

Ai Pachidou is Momoko's main String starter. It comes out slow, so either do it far away from the opponent, or do it as they get up. Never use this as a wakeup. Cannot be combo'd into.

Autoshu Taru is a grab. If the previous attack was blocked, it'll whiff. Momoko's main string finisher. Always use this for guaranteed damage.

Pheonix Arrow's Kof.lk.png version is just the roll attack. The Kof.sk.png version has a trip added on at the end. Always use the Kof.sk.png version, as the attack is safe to use whenever, and you recover fast enough to not be hit by anything. This attack is very safe, so use this move as much as you can.

Small Attack is a three-part butt bump. Think of it as Iori's Qcb.png+P. Slow to come out with too much recovery time.

Her grab DM puts the opponent into a juggle state. Can be DCed into her LDM.

Be aware that only a couple of Momoko's String DMs combo. Most others can be tech-rolled or counter-hit out of. On the other hand, these strings are really hard to block if you don't know whats coming, so a blunt DoReMi DM has a good chance of hitting the opponent one way or another.

Esper takes about 2 seconds to charge, but is an Unblockable.png beam that does great damage, even when DCed into it. Opponents CAN roll or jump over it, and it hits once if I'm not mistaken.

Essentially you'll want to jump in with either Kof.lp.png or Kof.sp.png . A is a extended punch that covers good range, while Kof.sp.png is a pure horizontal kick. You'll want to jump in with Kof.sp.png more, as it covers more ground and can easily be comboed into her chains.

Combos

Bread n Butter - Jump D.png+Kof.lk.png , Air Kof.sp.png , Crouch Kof.sp.png , B.png+Kof.lp.png , D.png +Kof.lk.png , f+Kof.lk.png, Qcf.png+Kof.lk.png .


Momoko's main strategy is to keep pressure on an opponent, while mixing up her strings and command moves to keep the other opponent guessing. Never do the same thing twice in a row, but use what you need to in order to win.
