Overview

ABA has the potential to be downright terrifying.

ABA is a pure Risk/Reward character who switches between two modes: one which might be the worst character in the game, and one which is probably the best. She starts in Normal Mode, as slow, plodding, and generally incapable. When she lands a Keygrab or consumes a bloodpack while in this mode, however, she enters Moroha mode (lit. Double-Edge Mode). Wherein, she gains a massive shift in the strength of her attacks, her overall speed, her pressure and ability to crank the guard bar, and several other bonuses which turn her from listless to livid, making her extremely frightening to deal with. ABA is generally uncommon enough a character that many players have trouble dealing with her overwhelming options.

This comes at a cost, however. In Moroha, ABA's attacks will drain her own health whenever they contact an opponent, on hit or block. She also has an active Moroha 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 exits Moroha mode in a very vulnerable stance, making her quite susceptible to eating a full combo or being Instant Killed, more than any other character. She can avoid this vulnerabilty, and regain some of her self-inflicted damage, by exiting Moroha manually by: landing another keygrab, consuming a bloodpack, or entering Goku Moroha, one of the greatest install supers ever designed which buffs her into an extremely powered up version of regular Moroha. With this many options, ABA can be fairly obtuse to learn, and despite her relatively low execution barrier, she can be crippled by inexperienced hands, but crippling under those who fully understand her risk/reward game.

A.B.A A.B.A is a character who balances Risk/Reward to manage two modes; Normal Mode, which is slow and weak, and Moroha Mode, which has incredible offensive prowess at the cost of draining her health whenever her attacks hit an opponent.

Pros

Cons

Polarizing alternate mode: Moroha Mode possesses high mobility, powerful pressure and mixups, decent pokes and solid damage.
Versatile: Decent utility with her keygrab enabling a free mode switch, and has good meterless conversion with her metered options taking it further.
Very high defense rating: Able to tank plenty of hits in spite of her HP drain mechanic in Moroha Mode.
Clutch awakening mode/install: Goku Moroha makes her even stronger and can save her from leaving Moroha mode automatically.
Danzai: Access to one of the most invalidating and combo-able tools in the game.

Precarious roundstart: Starts in Normal Mode, which possesses bad mobility and awkward normals in terms of range.
Name of other mode fits to a tee: Moroha Mode can cripple her life lead if not managed properly enough.
Limited unique resource: Needs bloodpacks to enter Moroha mode without a combo.
Meter dependent: Somewhat meter-reliant for more damage/better setups, in spite of being okay without it.
Moroha Mode exit animation has notable lag: Very susceptible to being Instant Killed if played improperly, making her massively susceptible to planned knockdowns.

A.B.A starts every round in her Normal mode.

A.B.A can switch to her Moroha/Double-Edge 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 and specials are significantly changed for the better, but she must manage a constantly depleting unique meter, and she will inflict self damage on hit. A.B.A also has access to an improved version of this mode called Goku Moroha (Extreme Double-Edge) Mode via the use of one of her overdrives.

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 modes and allow her to manually enter the mode without a combo.

A vital normal for Normal Mode ABA. It's got more range than anything else in her Normal toolkit and it's slow as hell, but it has ridiculous pushback and knocks down on CH. Cancels into bloodpack or combos into keygrab, and generally works in your favor on a trade.

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 a ghetto AA and tags opponents out of airdashes. Careful though, you're asking for trouble if you whiff. Moroha version is exceptional range, two hits, hits like a truck. Mostly sees use against people trying to low profile f.S or 5H from far away. Landing it from max range won't combo into much and it has a horrid amount of whiff recovery, but will convert on an air hit into something like Butt/Engorgement.

Despite its decent nature, you probably won't use this much since you'll mostly be on the defensive in Normal Mode. If you land it, you should do a short air combo into Keygrab.

Fantastic hitbox makes this amazing anti-air, which leads to jump combo > Keygrab. Gains enough histun on CH, that it goes straight into Keygrab for an effortless transform. A pretty good Anti-Air even against ones with upper body invul, but having a crouching AA is a good utility. Moves ABA forward when used.

Being active until landing makes j.H a good jump-in, and it can cross up as well. Like some air normals that are similar, it can be IB'd and thrown on landing since it can't be gatling'd. The hitbox is tiny which makes it difficult to use in combos and requires good timing to use appropriately.

Causes very little knockback/pushback.

In Moroha, excellent poke that begins to define Moroha's strengths. Two hits will allow it to stuff super armor or familiars that eat hits (Little Eddie, Zappa's Dog, Dizzy's Fish), and leads excellently into 5H or Rekka. Great move in neutral and overall. Unlike Normal, it hits mid and doesn't move ABA forward.

1st hit causes very little knockback/pushback.

Moroha version is fantastic. Builds a ridiculous amount of guard bar on block, vacuums on the second hit, and with a gatling into 2H, you can keep the opponent close and get their guard bar flashing in about a second. This is excellent for pressure and is safe on block, making it particularly great against opponents without meterless reversals (there is a slight gap from this to 2H). However, the second hit will usually end the stagger if the first hit lands as CH. Its slow speed keeps it from being a good poke, but ABA has other options to lead into this.

Has exceptional range, two hits, hits like a truck. Mostly sees use against people trying to low profile f.S or 5H from far away. Landing it from max range won't combo into much and it has a horrid amount of whiff recovery, but will convert on an air hit into something like Butt/Engorgement.

One of the most oppressive normals in the game. As ABA is slightly airborne before going active, she is throw invulnerable, making for a good meaty. Guard Bars get ruined, it launches on hit, vacuums, is +2 on block, and has an FRC point just as the axe touches the ground for the 2nd hit, making it sickeningly good for applying pressure or baits. Awesome.

Meanwhile, in Morohaville, 2D's range grows from standard to absurd. Near the corner, you can confirm into Rekka loops. At max range, you can use it to bait reversals, and include an OS by staggering Rekkas. It will convert on hit, but you'll be safe on whiff as long as you space it properly. Pretty good.

Take everything great about Normal Mode j.S. Double it. Give it a bunch of fuzzy guards. Make those fuzzies confirmable off of a safe jump. You now have Moroha j.S.

Your standard setup for fuzzies is [j.S > dj.S > falling j.H > land] and combo. These lead to BIG damage, upwards of 300+ depending on guard bar and available tension. Since it gatlings into 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 still so tiny, but the possibilities from j.S > j.K are really gross. 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.

Another nice bonus is that j.K CH launches opponents, meaning this setup is especially potent when their guard bar is flashing. Better still, you can autopilot the j.S > j.K > dj.S > j.H variation since it combos! Pretty sick.

Huge hitbox, great for cross-ups, and on CH it ground slides into ludicrous damage despite its prorate. The built-in OS with airthrow doesn't do your opponents any favors either. People hate this move.

Moroha version is vital ingredient in A.B.A.’s Orb loop BnB. This is faster, has longer range, and better hitstun than Normal Mode. However, it still doesn't have much use in neutral compared to A.B.A.'s other great aerials. This also wallbounces on counterhit, and has enough hitstun to combo into Keygrabs and dashing j.Ss for better conversions.

A go-to poke, balancing speed and range amongst Normal Mode's overall slow moveset, but in Moroha loses out a bit to other normals. Being able to self gatling and safe on block very much helps.

All three versions move ABA slightly forwards.
