An okay poke but Kagami has much better buttons to use for neutral, sees little use outside of chain combo fodder.

While not useful in neutral or pressure this is one of Kagami's most important normals. Thanks to the A+C glitch he is able to confirm into 623B off of his 2C, though this is a 1f link.

Massive range, and equally massive startup and recovery. Decent poke from a distance when none of his other buttons will reach but should be used with caution. It's actually possible to link into 2C off this normal but it requires being extremely close to the opponent and is a 1f link so you will almost never see this in real matches.

Huge normal for huge punishes. This is a pretty strong jump in normal that's easy to convert off, has decent priority as well. 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

Kagami's divekick. Unlike most divekicks this is not a free "win neutral" tool that you can abuse recklessly. 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.
