|description2=* Benimaru lances forward a set distance with a crescent lightning slash to cover him. Strength determines how far and how fast he travels. This counts as a projectile, meaning it will absorb one hit of fireball damage, but it can also be reflected. Despite appearances, the fireball is only active a little after Benimaru stops moving. The light version allows for juggles in the corner, while the heavy version lets you juggle into Iai Geri anywhere on the screen if you land it close enough. These are safe on block, with the C version being plus on block but will spell doom for you if they miss. Both strengths are super cancellable. | |description2=* Benimaru lances forward a set distance with a crescent lightning slash to cover him. Strength determines how far and how fast he travels.

|description3=* The EX version of this move sees Benimaru standing in place while firing off a fast projectile, which slices through normal fireballs while clashing with EX fireballs.

This move is normally safe but it may not be worth the meter in most situations, as it's not very rewarding and you might want to save it for bigger combos or your other characters. | |description3=* The EX version of this move sees Benimaru standing in place while firing off a fast projectile, which slices through normal fireballs while clashing with EX fireballs.
