Gameplay Overview

Normals

Standing

s.A: 25 damage, cancellable, hits mid. A short ranged but swift jab that is safe on block.

s.C 80 damage, hits mid. Decent range punch that isn't cancellable. Gives Benimaru a fair amount of pushback.

s.D 80 damage, hits mid. A jumping midsection round kick that isn't bad for poking, but don't to it too closely because he will be punishable while recovering from it.
