Overview

A.B.A is a rushdown/brawler who is defined by her polarized stances. She spends the game switching back and forth between being a slow, weak, pitiful excuse of a character and an offensive powerhouse with scary damage and oppressive moves. Managing these stances; when to switch between them, how you switch between them, and what you do in them are the skills one must have to master this character.

A.B.A. starts each round in Normal Mode, in which she has pathetic mobility with miserable walk/dash speeds (though this is somewhat compensated by her low profile When a character's hurtbox is entirely beneath an opponent's attack. This can be caused by crouching, certain moves, and being short. command dashGuardStartupRecoveryTotal 26Advantage-) as well as underwhelming offense. Plainly put, A.B.A is not very good in normal mode, and as such her gameplan involves building her Jealousy Gague with her S and HS normals, Frenzy and AstonishmentGuardStartup7Recovery15Advantage-, and moves like Restriction and ConstraintGuardLowStartup11Recovery31Advantage-15 so she can eventually get in and safely switch into...

...Jealous Rage, an install A move, usually a super, which changes the properties of the character themself, usually for the better. state and A.B.A's signature feature which improves her in nearly every way for a limited amount of time. This mode grants A.B.A mobility on par with the fastest characters in the game, greatly improved S and HS normals, enhanced special moves, the new all-around excellent special move Judgement and SentimentGuardAll (Guard Crush)Startup17Recovery25Advantage+4, a monstrous damage boost to her supers, and more. Her mixup game, combo potential, neutral presence, block pressure, and especially her damage output all become significantly better. Plainly put, A.B.A is very, very good in Jealous Rage, and it is important to spend as much time in this mode as possible.

All this being said, her overbearing strengths come with weaknesses. As mentioned, A.B.A is very sluggish in normal mode, making it difficult for her to get in and safely switch into Jealous Rage. Once Jealousy Gauge expires, she is forced to go into a canned animation not unlike Nagoriyuki's Blood Rage DeactivationGuardN/AStartup1+(59 Flash)Recovery0AdvantageN/A which leaves her at a disadvantage that the opponent can play around. While she does have some decent defensive tools like a 4-frame 2PGuardAllStartup4Recovery10Advantage-2, Frenzy and AstonishmentGuardStartup7Recovery15Advantage-, and Judgement and SentimentGuardAll (Guard Crush)Startup17Recovery25Advantage+4, she lacks a true reversal outside of her slow reversal superGuardAllStartup7+3Recovery59Advantage-.

All in all, A.B.A is a temperamental and volatile character with some euphoric highs and miserable lows. She requires strong resource management skills to play effectively, as poor decision-making can leave you stuck as a low-tier carrying around a 300-pound key. But if you play your cards right, you can unlock one of the scariest characters in all of Guilty Gear -Strive-.

A.B.A

A.B.A is a volatile stance character who starts off slow and weak and wants to find a way into her powerful install state so she can dominate the match with her versatile neutral and oppressive offense.
Pick if you like	Avoid if you dislike
Powering up over time to overwhelm your opponent with enhanced offense and high speed. A clear win condition with many means of access. A variety of defensive tools, including a fast reversal, a parry, and evasive moves. Effective space control with powerful anti airs and large buttons. Having Judgment and SentimentGuardAll (Guard Crush)Startup17Recovery25Advantage+4, a massive, armored, advantageous move that launches on hit and leads to mixups on block.	Some tools not being available at all times. Limited time in your advantage state, with having to "earn" it again after a certain amount of time. An extreme lack of mobility outside of install. A large portion of your moveset having different properties depending on the state of the match. A "feast or famine" playstyle.

Jealous Rage

Unique Mechanic: Jealous Rage

A.B.A's Jealousy Gauge.

A.B.A starts the round in Normal Mode or NM. Jealous Rage is an install A move, usually a super, which changes the properties of the character themself, usually for the better. state in which A.B.A is greatly powered up for a short period of time. The benefits include:

A slight universal damage buff to all moves,
greatly improved S and HS normals,
the ability to use the extremely powerful Judgment and SentimentGuardAll (Guard Crush)Startup17Recovery25Advantage+4 (623H),
new properties on existing special moves (for example, Haul and HeedGuardStartupRecoveryTotal 26Advantage- (214K) travels a greater distance),
and immensely improved movement, replacing her step dash A dash that is a short jump or "step" forward with a finite distance, as opposed to a run. with a run on par with Chipp Zanuff.

While in Normal Mode, A.B.A requires meter in her Jealousy Gauge to enter Jealous Rage. The Jealousy Gauge is filled by landing certain attacks, or by absorbing a hit with Frenzy and AstonishmentGuardStartup7Recovery15Advantage- (214S). While in Jealous Rage, the gauge will automatically deplete over time - upon running out of Jealousy Gauge, A.B.A will automatically exit Jealous Rage and return to Normal Mode.

To enter Jealous Rage, A.B.A can use Changing and SwayingGuardStartupRecoveryTotal 29Advantage- (63214P), a simple "activation" move with no hitbox, Bonding and DissolvingGuardAll (Guard Crush)Startup12Recovery30Advantage+2 (214H), a hitgrab A strike attack that transitions to a throw animation on a successful hit. often used to end combos, or The Law is Key, Key is King.GuardAllStartup7+3Recovery59Advantage- (632146H), her reversal super, which will switch to the opposite state on hit: while in Normal Mode, she will exit the super in Jealous Rage; while in Jealous Rage, the super will consume all remaining Jealousy Gauge to deal more damage and return to Normal Mode.

Note: May also be referred to as "Moroha" by the community, due to existing nomenclature from older games.

5H has high blockstun, high pushback, and absurd range, easily competing with buttons like Ramlethal's or Bridget's 5H in size. At almost all spacings, A.B.A. can combo into 236S to build Jealousy Gauge, and on CH she can cancel into 214K and link c.S or 2K for longer extensions.

Though its irregular pushback makes 5H very safe on block when cancelled into 63214P, it can also work against A.B.A. if she wants to stay in to build Jealousy Gauge or simply continue pressure.

High attack level makes this one of A.B.A's better buttons for safely cancelling into Changing and SwayingGuardStartupRecoveryTotal 29Advantage- on block
Builds good RISC on block

Jealous Rage

In Jealous Rage, this move deals substantially more damage and loses the incredibly long whiff animation from the normal version. Has greatly reduced pushback on block and removes the gap when used as a gatling from f.S. It's also very safe on block.

Uncharged Dust

Universal overhead attack.

When in Jealous Rage, this move is almost entirely outclassed by Intertwine and TiltGuardHighStartup18Recovery15Advantage-2, which is faster, grants full combos on hit without using meter, and is safe on block.

Charged Dust

Holding any upwards direction during the hitstop of Charged Dust will perform a Homing Jump:
- Performing a Homing Jump puts the opponent into a unique high damaging air combo state and will cause an Area Shift afterwards, resetting character positions to neutral at slightly farther than round start distance.
- Pressing any attack twice in a row without jump/dash canceling will perform a unique Finishing Blow attack, causing a hard knockdown and leaving A.B.A at +23 instead of neutral (+-0).

Similar to uncharged Dust but is slow enough for opponents to reliably react to. On raw hit, it results in a very high damage Homing Jump combo. Due to its slow startup Charged Dust is primarily used for juggling during combos to add damage after a Red Roman Cancel launch or Counter Hit c.S, but can also be used for simple punishes on extremely unsafe moves.

A.B.A thrusts Paracelsus forward. On hit, it causes A.B.A to switch into/out of Jealous Rage depending on if she's in the stance. Additionally, it refills her Jealousy Meter by a decent amount. Both of these traits make it an invaluable combo ender, as it either lets her start her offense from normal mode or safely transition back from Jealous Rage.

On block, it leaves A.B.A at an advantage, making it a decent pressure tool when in normal mode. It also still grants some Jealousy Meter, though not as much as when it hits.

May be referred to as "keygrab" by veteran players, despite being a pure strike in this game.

A safe, low-crushing hopkick to compliment the low-profile of Haul and HeedGuardStartupRecoveryTotal 26Advantage- that changes wildly depending on A.B.A's current stance.

In normal mode, it's primarily used as a low-crushing neutral poke that can yield some rewarding combos on counter hit. In Jealous Rage, however, the move changes significantly. It loses some range and speed in exchange for becoming an overhead that launches the opponent for a full combo, giving A.B.A some frightening (and rewarding) mixup potential.

A parry with a guard point, similar to Anji's SpinGuardStartupRecoveryTotal 34~50Advantage-. Unlike that move, however, the opponent can still cancel their attacks as if they hit A.B.A. Upon successfully absorbing an attack, the Jealousy Gauge increases by a moderate amount and A.B.A becomes invulnerable for the move's recovery.

Unlike Anji, if Frenzy and Astonishment parries a move, A.B.A. will immediately be able to PRC the recovery animation, giving this move unusual defensive capabilities and allowing her to punish many moves that would be safe against other characters.

Using this move is key to gaining momentum and building Jealousy gauge against opponents who would otherwise be able to easily zone against A.B.A..

The most common one is performing an attack early on okizeme to gain frame advantage and bait reversals. tool.

It's in that last aspect where this move truly shines, as not only does the Guard Crush give good frame advantage when used as a meaty, but the guard point will flat-out beat and counterhit the majority of wake-up reversal options, including DP Dragon Punch A move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motion.s such as Ky's Vapor ThrustGuardAllStartup11Recovery43Advantage-33 [-28]. This will either knock the opponent down again or launch them for a full combo if they are airborne (such as after a DP).

The only real weaknesses of this move are its extremely long whiff recovery, the slow startup of the armor, and its vulnerability to throws. Aside from that, it's an extremely powerful move, and one of the character's strongest assets.

Jealous Rage Deactivation

Automatically after Jealousy Gauge empties

Stop for a second, breathe, and contemplate the 50/50 that's about to hit you.

Damage	GuardHow this attack can be blocked.	StartupThe number of frames between inputting an attack and when the attack becomes active. Includes first active frame.	ActiveThe number of frames for which a move has hitboxes. Occurs after Startup.	RecoveryThe number of frames after a move's active frames during which the character cannot act assuming the move is not canceled.	On-BlockThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent.	Invuln

When A.B.A is next idle when the Jealousy Gauge is empty, she will immediately deactivate the state. This creates a one second pause to see what is happening, followed by a 10 frame recovery in which A.B.A can only Block.

When this happens, she retains none of the Gauge like she would from Changing and Swaying. Howevever, it comes with significantly less risk.

Even if the gauge is empty, A.B.A will not deactivate until she fully recovers from an animation, including if she's in blockstun. This means she can continue to gatling and cancel freely. She also cannot deactivate until landing.
If A.B.A was knocked down, this automatically happens frame one after wakeup.
If hit by an attack during the animation, the 1F invuln will cause the attack to hit 1 frame more meaty than it normally would. This can give the opponent slightly improved frame advantage.

A short ranged reversal super that changes significantly depending on A.B.A's current stance.

In normal mode, it does decent damage, grants about 25% Jealousy Gague on hit, and switches A.B.A into Jealous Rage.

When used in Jealous Rage, the move gains a longer, more cinematic animation where it deals dramatically more damage. Afterwards, A.B.A is drained of all her Jealousy Gauge and is returned back to normal mode.

The damage of the cinematic version scales greatly with the amount of Jealousy Gague A.B.A has when using it. When used at max power, it becomes the 2nd strongest single move in the entire game, beating out legendarily strong moves like Goldlewis' fully charged Clean Hit Down with the SystemGuardAllStartup16+(230 Flash)+4Recovery46Advantage-33 or Potemkin's Heavenly Potemkin BusterGuardAir ThrowStartup12+0Recovery16AdvantageN/A, only losing to Sol's Heavy Mob CemeteryGuardGround ThrowStartup13+7Recovery49Advantage-.

 A parry with a guard point, similar to {{Character Label|Anji|label=Anji's}} {{MMC|game=GGST|chara=Anji Mito|input=236K|label=Spin}}. Unlike that move, however, the opponent can still cancel their attacks as if they hit A.B.A. Upon successfully absorbing an attack, the Jealousy Gauge increases by a moderate amount and A.B.A becomes invulnerable for the move's recovery.
-Using this move is key to gaining momentum and building Jealousy gauge against opponents who would otherwise be able to easily zone against A.B.A's horrendous base movement.
+Unlike Anji, if Frenzy and Astonishment parries a move, A.B.A. will immediately be able to PRC the recovery animation, giving this move unusual defensive capabilities and allowing her to punish many moves that would be safe against other characters.
+Using this move is key to gaining momentum and building Jealousy gauge against opponents who would otherwise be able to easily zone against A.B.A..
