Hey there. After going through like the whole roster, I've settled on F-Arc for my main. She just feels right to me, lots of fun to play. Only problem is, my buddy who's similar in skill at fighting games to me is maining C-Kohaku (we're sort of learning it together) and so far he's kicking my ass.
Anybody got any tips for this particular matchup? If I can get hold of him, I can deal that sweet sweet damage, and if I'm super careful about positioning and get my timing absolutely perfect I can go, uh, 1 for 3 against him lol. The invincibility and mobility on Kohaku's molotov moves is a problem. That plus plant wakeup setups and Kohaku's sweep (and pretty much all her moves) having such great range and mashable speed compared to mine makes this a difficult matchup. So any advice would be appreciated, stuff I can try out in matches or just general tips to keep in mind. Thanks in advance~
UPDATE: Tonight I fought tooth and nail and I'm up to 1:2 against him.
Some things I figured out: with proper spacing, my 6C can go over C-Kohaku's sweep, and if he starts spamming the molotovs I just have to wait and he's vulnerable while falling during its recovery. Also a lot of his longer reaching moves are vulnerable to a well-timed 236B if he whiffs. He can mash me out of most of my EX moves, though, and very little of what I do is actually safe against him. If I improve my mixup, learn where the gaps are that are big enough for me to teleport out of the corner, and work on my okizeme, I think I'm on the right track. Still, anything you guys have for me would be much appreciated.
UPDATE: Last night I drew even with him, so I think I'll just figure out anything further out on my own. Thanks anyway.
