3. Kodachi Kuno Moveset (Platform Fighter)
Kodachi Kuno, the "Black Rose" of St. Heere's Academy, is a Rhythmic Gymnastics Martial Artist. In a platform fighter (like Super Smash Bros. or MultiVersus), she would be a Glass Cannon Zoner. She excels at mid-range harassment with high mobility but is light and easy to KO once her rhythm is broken.
Special Moves
- Neutral Special: Black Rose Petals
Kodachi spins, releasing a flurry of black rose petals. These act as a slow-moving cloud of projectiles that chip away at health and obscure visibility. - Side Special: Ribbon Bind
She lashes out with her gymnastics ribbon. If it connects, the opponent is briefly tethered or stunned, setting them up for a follow-up strike. - Up Special: Hoop Vault

Playstyle Strategy
- Keep Distance: Use the Ribbon Bind to keep brawlers away.
- Trap Setting: Leave Paralyzing Incense near the ledge to catch recovering opponents.
- Aerial Dominance: Her Hoop Vault and aerial mobility make her difficult to catch in the air.
🌹 Note: Her weight class would be "Light," similar to Peach or Zero Suit Samus, making her reliant on her speed and range to survive.
In this moveset, she functions as a Technical Trapper/Zoner. She excels at controlling space with Shogi pieces and mentally "suffocating" her opponents, reflecting her relentless and predatory playstyle.
♟️ Character Overview
- Playstyle: Mid-range Zoner / Setplay Specialist.

| Dragon King Rise | Up B | She is carried upward by a ghostly "Promoted Rook" (Dragon). It has a wide hitbox but slow startup. |

📸 Character Overview
- Playstyle: Mid-range Spacer / Puppet-lite (using "Style Points").
- Unique Mechanic: "The Observer’s Eye"
- Machi has a Camera Gauge. By staying still or landing "Perfect Spacings" (hitting with the tip of her fan), she "takes photos" of the opponent.

💥 Smash Attacks (Strong Attacks)
- Up Smash (Top Tier Style): Machi swings her designer bag in a wide overhead arc. It has a surprisingly large hitbox and high vertical launch power.
- Side Smash (The Piercing Look): A focused, horizontal thrust with her closed fan. It has a "Sweet Spot" at the tip that mimics a sharp Shogi checkmate move.

The opponent is forced to "walk" down it while Machi bombardments them with giant, falling Shogi pieces that look like luxury ornaments.
