The last time we covered the ice and fire wielding specialist, Shoto Todoroki, but today we’ll be defying gravity with fan favorite Ochaco! She is able to control gravity, allowing her to float in the air or to manipulate objects for use against the enemy. In My Hero One’s Justice, her abilities come in handy big time as she becomes a threat from mid-long range with her rock-tossing special, using them as projectiles to maintain spacing. Along with these rocks, she can also use a huge pillar and swing it at enemies, which acts as a multiple hitting move, creating safe block-string pressure. While she does have these mid-long range tools to disrupt her enemy’s approach, her strong point is being up-close and personal, as she dishes out an absurd amount of damage both on the ground and in the air. Once she hits you then expect to feel the pain as her aerial combos are very long and can send you flying across the screen to help keep you off of her, but also to reset neutral and force your opponent to find a way in again.

To coincide with what we mentioned earlier, Ochaco can put some serious amount of pressure on the opponent since her rock-throw and pillar-swing attacks are relatively safe if you space them well. If you want to create momentum then you’ll need the right sidekicks to help out not only for defense but most importantly, her deadly offense. Her best sidekicks to help extend her combos are Tsuyu, Iida, or Tomura Shigaraki. Tsuyu’s assist ability grabs you, then throws you directly at the opponent, which helps you to continue your pressure, or if you’re on the defense to simply avoid extra damage. This is good for Ochaco since her aerial Plus Ultra sends the enemy downward and so, Tsuyu can throw you directly at the enemy to extend her combo even further and rack on some serious damage. Iida does something similar but instead of grabbing you, he focuses primarily on the enemy, giving them a swift kick downward to bounce them back up into the air in order for you to combo again. Tomura is mainly for ground control after a knockdown, as his dark matter puddle can create a 50/50 scenario and your opponent will either have to sit there and block or try to avoid it altogether, which isn’t easy. This creates a fantastic balance for Ochaco since she can control both the ground and the air and leave her opponent guessing.
