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.

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.
