st.A: Crappy range and not cancelable. Can stop hops from close up but no other use for it really.
st.B: Farthest range of his normals. Good as a poke. Combos after cr.B.
st.C: Special cancelable but slow and crappy range and whiffs on crouchers. Rarely useful.
st.D: Can work as anti air against hops but dp+A/C is much more reliable.
Close:
cl.A: Special cancelable but out of range after even just one cr.B. Can stop hops, otherwise useless.
cl.B: Use cr.A instead for more reliable range and same combo potential. Special cancelable.
cl.C: 2 hits, both cancelable. Fast enough to link from cr.B. Your heavy normal for combos.
cl.D: Same move as st.D.
Crouching:
cr.A: Fast and good range for a cr.A. Special cancelable. Use this in confirms and blockstrings after cr.B and as a short poke.
cr.B: Low combo starter. Chains into itself and other A/B normals. Links into cl.C. Does not special cancel.
cr.C: Not a reliable anti air. Special cancelable. Can be used in punish or combo situations when too far away for cl.C.
cr.D: Special cancelable sweep. Not bad at what it does.
Jumping:
j.A: Nice air to air.
j.B: Typical Kusanagi knee. Often beats weaker anti airs, air normals and can crossup without much hassle. VERY GOOD.
j.C: Decent jumpin but nothing special about it. Use this on characters j.D might whiff on.
j.D: Most damaging jumpin (except for j.CD) but can whiff on small crouchers.
Blowback:
CD: Quite fast, enough range to hit after 2x cr.A/B blockstring. Saisyu has good safe options to fish for counterhit combos with this. Special cancelable.
j.CD: Great move. Often wins against other good moves and anti airs thanks to good hitbox. Good for fishing counterhit combos just like regular CD.
