* With a single hand, Hinako grabs the opponent, then swings and throws them face first sliding against the ground almost a half screen away. This is a command throw that can be blocked, so it should be used only during punished and most importantly at the end of combos. Hinako doesn't have any invincibility frames during this move, so it isn't a good idea to try to use it as an anti-air or to phase through attacks during block stun.

* This is Hinako's 1-frame command throw. Hinako tosses the opponent on their backside on the opposite side of where they were standing.
Hinako doesn't have any close versions of her standing normals
All of Hinako's stand normals are whiff cancel-able into special moves and command normals
st.A/st.B/C/D are cancel-able
st.A is chain-able, links into most of her command normals and is good for stopping hops
st.B unlike her other normals makes her sprite move forward rather than staying in the neutral stance
st.C/D are both great combo starters, link right into special attacks because of their hit-stun
st.D hits mid despite the look of it's hit-box and is special and command normal cancel-able
Crouch
cr.A and cr.C are mid attacks and are cancel-able into command and special moves
cr.B hits low and is chain-able into itself and into st.A, cr.A, and st.B
cr.C is okay for stopping air to ground jump in attacks but may be stuffed or traded because of its slow start-up and hitbox placement. This normal also moves Hinako forward a bit and is whiff cancel-able and special and command normal cancel-able
cr.D is a whiff cancel-able sweep. On hit it can be whiff cancelled into f+B, then cancelled into her down, down+K ground pound for a two hit combo, regardless if they ground tech or not
Jump
All of Hinako's jump normals hit overhead but the must be performed rather deep and late to hit crouching opponents.
j.A & j.B is good for attacking from the air-to-ground
j.C has a cross-up hit box but its rather difficult to combo into her st.C from it
j.D is the preferred jump-in attack, it hits twice and can connect easier into her st.B or st.C but must hit very deep and must be performed at the end of a hop. It is also a good normal to jump away from the opponent with and to zone slightly within her hop arc area. It may whiff on crouching opponents easily if performed too early in the jump
Blowback Attack
st.CD moves Hinako forward a bit, while her hitbox when starting up crouches VERY low, then raises when active.
st.CD on hit can cause a 2 hit setup like her crouching D (heavy kick) by cancelling into her f+B command normal then performing down,down+D
j.CD is good for air-to-ground offense, and has a very steep diagonal angle
Throws
Tasuki Nage - close, (b/f + C)
Hinako lifts the opponent and toss them over her head
The distance the opponent lands is around a full hyper hop distance away
Hard knockdown
Uwate Swimming - close, (b/f + D)
Hinako tosses and slides the opponent to the ground on their backside
The distance the opponent lands and wakes up is rather close, it's far enough for her st.B to hit
Hard knockdown
Command Moves
Harite Sendai - (f + A, A)
Hinako slaps the opponent in the face which is follow by her st.A
Her f+A by itself can be special cancelled
Although can be cancelled into her st.C and st.C, it will whiff because Hinko will be pushed back
Neutral on block by itself, plus frames when st.A is added
Harite Nishiki - f + A, C
Hinako slaps the opponent in the face which is follow by her st.C
Her f+A by itself can be special cancelled
Although can be cancelled into her st.C and st.C, it will whiff because Hinko will be pushed back
Neutral on block, negative when st.C is added
Tsuppari - (f + B, B)
Hinako steps forward with two palm thrusts
Second palm thrust provides enough hitstun for a follow-up into her st.B, or hcb+K, hcb,f+K or hcf+P
Can be swept under by the opponent
The first palm thrust is safe on block, as well as the second
Nodowa - (df + C, D)
Hinako takes a huge step forward and smacks the opponent in the face which is follow by her st.D which turns into a low attack
The input can be reversed as D, df+C. The stand D won't be a low attack, it will stay as a mid
The df+C is special cancel-able by itself, and the stand D is special cancel-able as well.
The df+C has frame advantage on block as well as the st.D
Causes a soft knockdown
Maemitsu Tataki - (df + A)
A 2-hit slap uppercut that moves Hinako forward and is special cancel-able and can be easily cancelled from many of her normals
The 1st attack can be cancelled but it's best to cancel from the 2nd attack because it is easy to confirm into
Shouldn't be used as an anti-air of any kind; it's start up is rather slow, and Hinako's hurtbox doesn't shrink
Kakeguri - (df + D)
A rather short ranged round kick that hits low
Special cancel-able
Special Moves
Tsukidashi - (qcf + A/C)
Hinako marches forward with Sumo hand smacks. The hitboxes (which have no invinciblity) on the smacks when she is advancing forward is actually quite big which may stuff out the opponents standing normal attacks at a mid to close range. While moving forward she is open to getting hit by projectiles and counter based special moves. The light punch version is a bit safer on block than the heavy punch version. It's a difficult to punish her when this move is whiffed, especially the light punch version which has fast recovery frames. It's best to use this move only within combos, but it is okay to zone at a mid to close range with the light punch version every once in a while.
Light punch version does 4 hits, heavy punch version does 6 hits
Soft knockdown
Combo Advice: The light punch version can combo from light and close heavy attacks (df+C for example), while the heavy punch version can combo from close heavy normals and command normals (example: cl.C, df+A or f+A,A or f+B,B)
Tsuki Otoshi - (qcb + A/C)
Hinako performs 2 hits: one that is her st.B, then a 2nd hit that slams the opponent to the ground creating a hard knockdown. The first hit has a small amount of auto-guard frames which will absorb the attack, then knock the opponent down with the 2nd attack. The first hit will only auto-guard attacks (projectiles included) aimed at Hinako's mid-section or higher (irregardless of hit detection), and doesn't have very fast start-up, which may cause to be beaten out by incoming attacks if timed improperly. A successful auto-guard costs a bit of guard meter from Hinako, and she is also in counter hit state during the duration of the move. It's best to use this move more for the hard knockdown properties rather than trying to use it as a counter move or as an anti-air because of its slow start-up.
The second hit causes the opponent to be knockdown in front of Hinako's feet, which is adequate spacing for a cross-up j.C (a few steps back may be needed for certain characters) or a meaty cr.B, or any other okizeme mix-up you can try.
Hinako is at negative frames when this move is blocked but receives a small amount of push-back from the opponent
No property or damagedifference between the light punch (A) and heavy punch (C) buttons
Hard knockdown
Combo Advice: It's best to cancel into this move from the first hit of her df+A command normal. A good example: cl.C, df+A (1), qcb+P or cr.B, st.B, df+A (1), qcb+P
Kote Nage - close, (hcf + B/D)
With a single hand, Hinako grabs the opponent, then swings and throws them face first sliding against the ground almost a half screen away. This is a command throw that has a whiff animation that can be blocked, so it should be used only during punished and most importantly at the end of combos. Hinako doesn't have any invincibility frames during this move, so it isn't a good idea to try to use it as an anti-air or to phase through attacks during block stun.
The distance Hinako throws the opponent is quite far, and she has some recovery frames to shake off herself after she throws them, so it's pretty hard to gain good okizeme (wake-up options) from this command throw.
On block, Hinako is at negative frames but is pushed back rather far enough to be punished properly. Hinako also gains a good clunk of meter if this attack is whiffed and more even which blocked.
Combo Advice: Hinako's normals can cancel easily into this command throw, except for her sweep (cr.D).
Kake Nage - close, (hcb, f + B/D)

Many of Hinako's normals and command moves are cancel-able, so feel free to experiment with all of them to see which specials can connect from them.
