Kokonoe Player Dismantles Opponent In Incredible BlazBlue Comeback

In the world of BlazBlue competitive play, characters like Kokonoe are incredibly technical operators based heavily on spacing, timing, and set-ups, all of which can fall flat on an ill-timed button press and leave her open at any stage of their execution. Online and net play where input lag is a factor makes this an even greater issue. That’s what makes one of the recent submissions to Arc System Works Fighting Game Award that much more impressive.

In the match, player kogatan (playing Es), has Kokonoe player matoi_yn hard on the ropes where any hit could have sealed the deal. That is until matoi finds the break and launches into an amazing combo, ending with the successful launch of Kokonoe’s high-risk, high-reward Golden Tager super for over 75% of Es’s life bar and the upset victory by the full combo’s end. On a character with such precise timing and in a setting that makes achieving that timing even a touch harder, matoi_yn’s effort in seizing glorious victory from the jaws of defeat is most definitely something to be admired.
