The King of Fighters XV/Chizuru Kagura/Strategy
General Gameplan
Chizuru's main gameplan is to confuse the opponent by alternating between various versions of her clone moves, as well as enforcing plus frames and mixups.
Neutral
Her neutral will mostly rely on 5B, 5D and 3D. All these attacks hit really far and usually have very little risk on block. However, 5D and 3D are death on whiff, so it is advised to use 5B in mid range.
Chizuru can also completely bypass the neutral by doing 22AC, since this is the best way to use clones without it getting hit.
As for using clones in neutral, try not to use them much, since they can all get hit on reaction.
Pressure
Chizuru's pressure will mostly rely on using her 236C to enforce plus frames.
She can also use 214A/B/C/D and delay their followups to play mind games with the opponent.
Mixups
Chizuru wants to implement her 6A Overhead when it comes to mixups, as well as using her scary low attacks as well.
She can also use her clones for mixups.
- During blockstrings, 22B/D will send her to the opposite side.
- Upon hard knockdown, 214D~K can send her to the opposite side.
- Doing 236236K and then a Roll can send her to the opposite side.
