Gameplay Overview
Normals
Standing
st. A: A quick, long ranged jab that can stop incoming hops. Can whiff on some crouching characters and can chain into itself, cr. B and cr. A.
st. B: This fast kick aimed at the opponent's head can also stop hops as well. Also can be used as a close ranged poke. Whiffs on some crouching characters and can chain into itself and chain from cr. B, and cr. A.
st. C: This fierce punch can be used as a poke & stop incoming hops but more premptively because it isn't as fast as st. A or st. C.
st. D: This sobat kick has lower body invincibility which means it can crush lows and evade low ground skimming projectiles if timed correctly. Slow start-up but great to use as a poke, and to cancel into max mode off the fly with. Use in conjunction with st. A/B/C incase someone hops at you.
Close
cl. A: A quick cancel-able elbow jab. Hits crouching characters and can chain from cr. B and cr. A if needed.
cl. B: Benimaru performs a cancel-able side kick aimed at the opponent's face. Can be chained from cr. B, and cr. A.
cl. C: Benimaru throws out a cancel-able fierce, quick, swinging elbow. Best used as a punish into a combo, or after a jump-in attack.
cl. D: Benimaru knees the opponent. Similar in use & damage to cl. C, but less negative frames on block and has more pushback on block.
Crouching
cr. A: A fast cancel-able jab that can be used to maintain pressure and can chain from cr. B, and cl. A.
cr. B: A fast cancel-able crouching light kick that you will be using to confirm into combos. Can chain into itself and cr. A and cl. A. Hits low.
cr. C: Benimaru throws out an uppercut while remaining crouched. Can be used a grounded anti-air against jumps at a close range and is cancel-able.
cr. D: This is a cancel-able good ranged sweep. Hits low.
Jumping
j. A: This jumping elbow attack has a downward angle aimed at 4 o'clock (on 1p side). Can be used for air-to-air situations. Special cancel-able.
j. B: Benimaru performs a short ranged jumping knee attack can cross-up. Special cancel-able.
j. C: This jumping punch has the same downward angle as j. A but has a deeper vertical range. Good for jump-ins. Special cancel-able.

Blowback

Special Moves
Iai-Geri - (qcf + B/D)
Benimaru performs a lighting fast knee attack aimed at the opponent's face. Comes out in 6 frames & is best used within combos or to use as a quick close ranged punish. It's hard to punish if blocked, but it is susceptible to being whiff punished by sweeps because of its long whiff recovery.
Can be cancelled from crouching & standing light & heavy normals attacks
EX: Has 3 frames of start-up & much harder to punish by itself.
Inazuna Sandan-Geri - (down, up + K)
This is the follow-up of Iai-Geri, 2 kicks (the animation of Far D, then his old dp+K). Always best used when Iai-Geri is hit-confirmed; punishable is whiffed or blocked.
Soft knockdown
First hit is super cancel-able
EX:Last hit of his follow-up does 2 extra hits. Best used at the end of combos for extra damage.
Raimeitou - (qcb + A/C)
Benimaru throws out a lightning crescent slash towards the opponent. Best used as a pre-emptive poke (because of its slow start-up) or to be used as a combo extender during max mode.
Light punch version travels a short distance & is hard to punish midscreen.
Heavy punch version travels farther & juggles the opponent. But has very slow start-up (susceptible to being knocked out of before it hits), and has very bad recovery if whiffed. The upside is that it is safe on block.
Soft knockdown
EX: The slash attack turns into a tall projectile that travels full screen.
Raijinken - (qcf+A/C)
Benimaru throws out a lightning ball punch. The opponent is stunned momentarily if hit grounded, while soft knockdowns jumping opponents.
Light punch version is aimed in-front of Benimaru horizontally. The range surrounding the lightning ball is deceptively large which can catch opponents jumping towards you pre-emptively or stopping opponents dashing towards you at a mid-range. Can combo from Benimaru's standing heavy normals. Can be evaded by some characters sweeps & command normal slides.
Heavy punch version is aimed diagonally above his head. Whiffs on crouching opponents. Has slower start-up than the light punch version & can be knocked out of if used as a last second reaction anti-air.
Super Cancel-able
EX: This is the light punch version animation but has less start-up with the same amount of range. When hit, the opponent is stunned, placed mid-air in a juggle-able state.
Air Raijinken - (qcf+A/C)
Benimaru performs an aerial haymaker surrounded by electricity. This move very briefly keeps Benimaru airborne. When hit, the opponent is briefly stunned similar to the grounded Raijinken. This move might whiff on crouching opponents if performed too really during the jumping.
Light punch version (A) moves Benimaru slightly towards the opponent
