The King of Fighters 2002 UM/Hinako Shijou

Normal Moves

Stand

• 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
