Command Moves

Hiji Ate - f+A

• Kasumi moves forward and does a sideways chop for two hits, this command move is great because it does just about everything, when used by itself it's an overhead attack, however since you can't cancel it on it's own you can use it to string into BC activation then continue from there, when used after her stand C/D it links to her Senkou Sagashi rekkas, Kasane Ate, Hakuzan Toh, Tatsumaki Souda, using it after stand C/D can be used to start very powerful BC combos, if used on guard Kasumi is pushed back on the second hit, as mentioned before this move does two hits which is cancellable when canceled into, the second hit will push her back just like the guarded version so you have to cancel it as soon as it hits, their is still a slight push back on the second hit but Kasane Ate takes good advantage of that.

• Free Cancellable on both hits if canceled into.
• Overhead Attack on both hits when used alone.
• Combos into: Senkou Sagashi rekkas, Kasane Ate, Hakuzan Toh, Tatsumaki Souda
• Second hit pushes back making Kasane Ate a great follow-up attack.
• When used in combos it can set-up strong blockstrings with her Senkou Sagashi rekkas.

Special Moves

Kasane Ate - qcf+A/C

• Kasumi makes a short wave of energy to hit the opponent, zones out the opponents projectiles, if you are too close to the opponent the enery wave will whiff because the hitbox is mostly in the middle rather than the front or last part, when used up close to challenge laggy moves it will win the trade and their is a small bit of invincibility towards the end of the move, either version works very well after her two hit Hiji Ate command normal, will juggle the opponent on counter hit which you can then use stand CD or any of her other normals to finish the combo, both versions can be used constant success if you get the timing down right, builds a lot of meter moreso on guard than on it's own.
• Combos from: Hiji Ate command normals (two hits).
• Combos into: Stand or Far Normals when used on counter hit.
• Nullifies the opponents projectiles.
• The middle part of Kasumi's hitbox is invincible towards the end.
• Juggles the opponent on counter hit.
• Builds a lot of meter

Air Kasane Ate - qcf+A/C in Air

• Kasumi makes a short wave of energy to hit the opponent in the air, knocks the opponent down on contact, much like the ground version it juggles the opponent on counter hit, can be used during her backdash, can also be used during a tiger knee short hop to use it really low near the ground, can be combo'd from her jump D.
• Can be used during her backdash, can also be used during a short hop by doing the tiger knee motion.
• Combos from: jump D
• Combos into: Hakuzan Toh on counter hit.
