Daimon excels with long range normals to keep out opponents. When opponents become scared to approach Daimon, that’s when you punish them with his damaging command grabs that setup for his okis.

'''Notation Key'''
'''Tenchi-Gaeshi''' - (close hcb~f + A/C)
(*) = EX OK
* Daimon’s most damaging command grab that does 150 damage. However, it does not possess any invincibility frames like dp+B/D, but use this move for its damage after conditioning the opponent to be afraid of defending against Daimon. Causes a hard knockdown and provides oki for Daimon. Super cancellable.
* 1 frame start-up
'''EX:''' More damage and has faster recovery
'''Kumo-Tsukami Nage''' - (hcf + A)
* A diagonal anti air move that is used for hard reads against jumping opponents. Whiffs on crouching opponents.
'''EX:''' Faster start-up, more damage.
'''Kirikabu-Gaeshi''' - (hcf + C)
* An OTG tool that is super cancellable into qcfx2+K.
'''Jiraishi''' - (dp + A)
* An earthquake based move that punishes standing grounded opponents. It also lowers the hurtbox to avoid specific types of projectiles, such as Robert’s and Andy’s. It does not hit crouching opponents. 28 frames of startup.
'''EX:''' Causes a juggle state on standing grounded opponents. Like the non-EX version, it does not hit crouching opponents. Has faster startup than the non-EX version. 18 frames of startup.
'''Jiraishi (feint)''' - (dp + C)
* A move to fake people out to become less wary of Daimon’s earthquake-based move. Typically used for mind games.
'''Chou Ukemi''' - (qcb + B/D)
* B version: A command roll to increase mobility and to help transition into dp+B/D or hcb~f+A/C to catch opponents off guard.
* D version: A command roll that goes farther than the B version. It is not really used much to facilitate Daimon’s offense.
'''EX:''' Similar to the B version but has more range in full invincible frames.
'''Chou Oosoto-Gari''' - (close dp + B/D)
(!) = MAX OK
* A command grab that has invincibility frames. It is the go-to safer command grab if you want to pressure opponents up close due to its invincibility frames. Causes a hard knockdown and provides oki for Daimon. Super cancellable.
'''EX:''' A command grab that has faster startup and does more damage with the same properties as the non-EX version.
(Can substitute st.B for any close normal but cl.D, or cr.A or cr.C. The qcb+B special cancels into dp+K, so the timing can be tricky.)
* j.D, cl.C, df+C, qcb+B, dp+K = 309 dmg
(Same as above, but off a jump in.)
* cr.C hcf+A = 174 dmg
(An anti-air combo. You can just buffer the hcf+A since it'll only come out if cr.C connects.)
* (corner) st.CD, qcb+D, df+C, hcf+A = 222 dmg
(qcb+D is included because it allows you to move in if you are not directly already in the corner. Though considering you toss them out of the corner, you might just want to do a normal for a reset)
