Introduction
Changes from KOF 98UM
- QCB+D - slower startup but less recovery
- dp+P - more damage
Normal Moves
Close
- cl. A: good range and speed making it an excellent checking button. whiffs on regular crouchers. Cancelable. Chainable.
- cl. B: low hitting kicks in two parts. Great for hitconfirming and empty jump mixups. Cancelable. not chainable.
- cl. C: fast attack that is good for combos. Cancelable.
- cl. D: slow two hit kick, first hit hits low to the ground and the second one higher up. Cancelable.
Stand
- st. A: same as cl.A
- st. B: same as cl.B
- st. C: decent poking normal at the mid distance. whiffs on tiny crouchers.
- st. D: slow but very long ranged kick. it has a lot of recovery so it will need to be spaced out to not get punished for.
Crouch
- cr. A: similar to her cl.A but hits lower. One of her main pokes and light chain button. Cancelable. Chainable.
- cr. B: low hitting kick. one of her main low combo starters and close range pressure buttons. Not cancelable. Chainable.
- cr. C: fast and high hitting. it has two stages, the first one has a nice anti airing hitbox but the second one will get beat out easily. Cancelable.
- cr. D: a sweep with good range. hits low. Cancelable on whiff and contact.
Jump
- j. A: Matures most reliable jumpin normal.
- j. B: Matures other jumpin normal. hits two times and is good for mixups but is less consistent than j.A.
- j. C: Matures best air to air. hits straight in front of Mature with great priority.
- j. D: Matures other air to air normal. Hits higher up than j.C but is slower and has less priority.
Blowback
- st. CD: slow startup but it has good range. Cancelable on whiff and on contact.
- j. CD: great jumpin button for pressure but it has a lot of startup.
Throws
Death Blow: (close) b/f + C
- regular throw, techable. Mature grabs the opponent and slashes them while throwing them almost fullscreen away. causes soft knockdown
Back Rush: (close) b/f + D
- regular throw, techable. Mature throws the opponent right behind her, causes a backturned hard knockdown.
Command Moves
Crematory: f + B
- long range poke with great priority.
- not cancelable so its only real use is as a poke.
Special Moves
Death Downer: qcb + A/C (can be entered 3 times in a row)
- a rekka move with 3 parts.
- the C version is one of her main combo tools as it has a lot of reach and can be used after her long light strings.
- the light version is safer and doing 2 light rekkas after a blockstring is safe, but doing two heavy rekkas after a blockstring is not. Doing 3 rekkas is safer because of the pushback but the third light rekka can whiff if the distance is great enough. 3 heavy rekkas after a blockstring is fairly safe due to the pushback.
- this move is very susceptible to guard cancel rolls.
- you can stagger the rekkas for some frame traps.
- causes soft knockdown.
Metal Massacre: qcb + B/D
- a forward travelling attack where Mature does 3 slashes as she reaches the end point of her forwards dash.
- the light version combos from heavies.
- the heavy version is very safe on block which makes it a good approaching and pressure tool.
- the light version is faster but is punishable on block so use that one mainly for catching rolls with in combination with Ebony Tears.
Despair: qcf + A/C
- a forwards lunging strike with a lot of startup.
- A version is faster and travels at a lower arc than C version.
- has a very nice hitbox with great priority once out making it good for preemptively beating out stuff.
- A version is very safe on block making it a good option for ending blockstrings. C version is punishable on block if done too close to the opponent.
Deceaser: hcf + B/D
- Mature does a long ranged pull with her sleeve.
- A version throws the opponent straight up in the air allowing for juggles. D version throws them far behind Mature.
- though it has a lot of startup it's a decent long range poking tool as the pushback it has makes it quite safe.
- on hit you can go into her qcf,hcb+P super or a normal for a reset if you're close enough.
- cannot be comboed into normally but can be with quick max.
- causes hard knockdown if you don't juggle anything after it.
Sacrilege: dp + A/C
- a multihitting move where Mature goes flying forward while twirling.
- has no invincibility frames so can not be used as a reversal.
- Both A and C versions are unsafe on block, though A version is harder to punish.
- neither version has very good anti aring hitboxes, but fairly good hitboxes in front of Mature.
- C version is a good combo ender due to its large corner carry.
Ebony Tears: qcf, hcb + A/C
- one of Matures signature moves, a very large and slow moving projectile that takes up space from the ground up to hopping distance.
- one of the key moves in Matures gameplan as it allows her to zone out characters without a fireball to fight back with, run in behind it to start offence or doing it closer up as a pressure tool.
- it has a lot of startup but recovers very quickly allowing her to follow up after it quickly.
- Mature can throw this out at a distance and react to the opponents attempt to deal with it and punish them for it.
- causes soft knockdown on hit.
Desperation Moves
Nocturnal Lights: qcf, qcf + A/C
- Mature does a series of slashes.
- Great for comboing into from both lights and heavies but not used for much else.
- Max version does more hits and more damage.
- causes soft knockdown on hit.
Heaven's Gates: qcb, hcf + B/D
- Mature runs forwards, grabs the opponent and slams them into the wall.
- this move is a hit grab so the opponent can block it.
- this move has a lot of invincibility frames so it can be used as a reversal.
- can also be used as an anti air because of the invincibility.
- the max version does more damage.
- causes hard knockdown.
