Introduction
Saisyu Kusanagi is a high-octane rushdown character, with a similar moveset to Iori Yagami and EX Kyo Kusanagi. Unlike these two, Saisyu's kit is significantly balanced towards an offensive playstyle, which results in him having strong pressure that leads into equally strong mixups, using a mix of unique tools and standard KOF fundamentals. His neutral ground game is rather weak comparatively, with generally poor far standing normals that can easily get counter-poked or avoided entirely, and a fireball with considerable amounts of recovery that can lead to him receiving a massive punish if the opponent jumps over it. Due to this mix of strengths and weaknesses, Saisyu is a character that requires strong fundamentals and positioning to navigate neutral and establish his absurd pressure game.
Gameplay Overview
Saisyu is a high-octane rushdown character with incredibly strong offence and solid damage, at the cost of having weaker neutral. | |
Pros | Cons |

|
System Mechanics
Run VS Step
- Saisyu does his best with Run enabled, as this greatly enhances his pressure and allows him to unleash his explosive mixups more easily. Being able to use his amazing cl.C more often through running up allows Saisyu to create frametraps and score large amounts of damage if he opens the opponent up.
- His step dash shares the animation with his overhead special, 427 Shiki Kamukakari (63214K), which can enhance his mixup potential with Step selected. This will also enhance his neutral potential due to the increased walk speed, at the cost of losing a lot of pressure.
Roll VS Dodge
- As usual for most 98 UMFE characters, Saisyu does very well with Dodge due to its natural advantages. Also, his reversals are quite good, so they can be buffered after doing a spot dodge. His dodge attack isn't the greatest as it doesn't allow for any special combos, but it still functions well for what it does.
- Roll is the more intuitive option, and Saisyu can still benefit from having it enabled. Using roll cancels can allow him to create very ambiguous left/right mixups from standing hits, and he can set an ambiguous left/right using a roll after performing a hard knockdown.
Advanced VS Extra
- Extra gauge has the most benefit for Saisyu, as Quick MAX gives him access to his most damaging combo routes, especially in red health. It also gives him the opportunity to convert from his 6A overhead, greatly enhancing his mixup potential.
- Advanced is still a good pick for Saisyu, as having an abundance of meter still gives him access to high damage, considering he still has the chance to convert into super from crouching lights.
Team Position
- With Advanced gauge, Saisyu is best mid or anchor, as to truly shine without Quick MAX he requires a lot of meter to be able to cash out into supers and utilise MAX Mode.
- In Extra gauge, Saisyu doesn't have a best team position. His hard knockdowns give him easy opportunity to charge meter, and he doesn't rely on red health for solid damage.
