When input as 4AC/7A/7AC it can link from 2C as a 1f link. In Power you will use this to cancel into 623B which is super cancelable, while in Speed this normal is integral for his loops. Due to a bug pressing 4A by itself at the proper timing for linking from 2C will result in 2A. Using 4AC/7A/7AC bypasses a frame of standing animation making the link work (this isn’t limited to Kagami but it’s required for him)

In Power this will generally only serve as a poke when nothing else may reach. In Speed this button becomes much more important as he can chain into it allowing for a true infinite.

Commonly used to tech chase in power mode when close and can lead to dm for an easy hit confirm if you wanted. On oki you can do 5C into empty command grab to build some meter.

In Power Kagami is able to link into 4AC/7A/7AC allowing his 623B > 41236AB super confirm. In Speed he loses the super confirm but now gains an infinite thanks to the link into 4AC/7A/7AC. Incredible for neutral, pressure, and punishes, all around phenomenal normal.

As a poke it’s most effective spot is at the tip of the sword, it’s impossible to convert to a combo when used like this as most likely you’d be using it on the way up. A character defining normal. It can cross up but it’s unreliable.

Because of how massively unsafe this is on block Kagami can not abuse it to win neutral and instead must stick to using it in his high/low mix. That said, it's an incredible high that he is able to use extremely low to the ground, which when combined with 2C gives him a very threatening high/low game. Practicing getting as low of a height as possible when inputting this is important. It does have a minimum height requirement, but it’s not very far into a jump.

Thanks to 4AC being special cancelable and 623B being super cancelable in power/ex he is able to shave off entire health bars with confirms into this. Simply having the threat of this super active is a major aspect of his gameplay. Has a minimum height requirement. You’ll need to lab this a bit, it can miss in combos if you don’t cancel a 623 at the right time or the opponent gets pushed to far from the 623. Generally cancelling right after the 2nd hit of either 623 works, a bit later is needed for some situations. Overhead, very unsafe on block 2nd part

Power

• 2C(x2/3) 4AC 623B 41236AB

Not strictly power mode only but you want to learn this. Bnb combo into dm. How many 2C’s you use depends on how close you are to your opponent. 2C 4AC is a 1f link

• 6B 2C 4AC 623B 41236AB. Big damage flex punish combo. 2 1f links in a row

EX Mode

• 2Cx3 623B j41236AB
• See speed mode. Ex combos for kagami are the same as speed mode, anywhere you can put a 623B or 623A you add his DM when you have meter or are in desperation

• Dash B 2B BC or any special
• 2Cx3, 4AC, 5A, 2A, 2B, BC dash otg 3BCD or hop forward B (catches a tech) 3B. Bnb in speed
• 2Cx3, 4AC, 5A, 2A, 2B, 6B, 2C 623B (difficult, optimal for damage without breaking any rules)
• 2Cx1-4, 623B
• [2C 4AC 6B]xN infinite. Very difficult to do consistently, 2 1F links in a row. May be limited in some rulesets. Usually one 6B, 2C link is allowed.
• J.B, 4A, 5A, 5A, 2B, 236B (x2), dash 3B
• j2C, 22A/B. Combo into fandango. If j2C hits vs an airborne opponent high enough this can work anywhere on screen
• 22A/B 5A 5B 5C 2C 2A 2C 6BC

After the launch you have several options depending on screen position and desperation status

• 1. dash j2C 236Bx2 dash 3B Most damaging option outside a corner
• 2. j2C 236B 623A 3B (corner)
• 3. 63214A (whiff) 623A works anywhere. Whiffing 63214A or doing 214C (release) immediately after the launch messes with gravity and causes the opponent to drop closer to you, making the 623A connect without requiring a dash
• 4. 214C(hold) use this to delay win pose and get meter back when it kills.
• 5. j41236AB. (corner in desperation) J.2C xx j41236AB can work here as well. Input the dm as 412369~AB (a slight pause between the 9 and the button inputs) To cancel dive into dm input the dm as quickly as possible.

• 412D j.2C 236B 623A (41236AB in desperation) 3B. Corner
