• Close K is an aerial and be canceled into any of her air attacks.

Far Normals

• f+K makes do a somersault to kick in the opponent in the head, whiff/cancel-able.

Crouch Normals

• Crouch L/S are cancel-able.
• Crouch M and K hit low.
• Crouch S can be used as an anti-air it's still a little slow.
• Crouch K is a great attack to use against the opponent as soon as they wake-up.
• df+K will make her do a slide kick to sweep the opponent.

Jump Normals

• Jump-in K is a good meaty jump-in.
• Jump-in S does a lot of hit-stun but the timing is strict, works best after a triangle descend.

Miscellaneous

Triangle Jump (Descend) - press df near 1p wall in the air, db near 2p wall in air

• Triangle jump descend is extremely useful for Iroha's wake-up games, anything from getting away from the opponent, or high mix-up to a quick jump-in K/S to a close normal combo.

Double Jump - press ub/u/uf then ub/u/uf again

• Iroha is one of the few characters in this game that has a double jump, in terms of use isn't as wide as the triangle descend but still good for quickly getting away from opponents who are too close.

Special Move

• Iroha does a quick shoulder tackle knocking the opponent onto the ground.
