• cl. B: Hits low.
• cl. C: Has very fast start-up and a great combo starter.

Stand

• Far A: Hits high and is cancel-able. Good for stopping hops.
• Far B: Slower than far A, but has more range.
• Far C: Incredibly slow downward punch that does nothing but reflect Shingo's novice fighting ability. Only use on accident.
• Far D: A crescent kick that could act as a preemptive anti-air.

Crouch

• cr. A/C/D are whiff/cancel-able.
• cr. A/B are chain-able.
• cr. A: Hits mid. Standard outward jab.
• cr. B: Hits low. Fast low that could start combos.
• cr. C: Rising uppercut that hits mid. Used to react against jumps and hops.
• cr. D: Hits low. Soft knockdown.

Jump

• j. B/D are both good cross-ups.
• j. A: Ok air-to-air.
• j. B: Downwards knee. Great jump-in from a hop. Instant-overhead.
• j. C: Another good jump-in.
• n. j. B: Knee is out horizontally instead of down and forward. Decent air-to-air.

Blowback Attack

• CD: Soft knockdown, whiff/cancel-able. Has the slowest start-up out of him, Kyo, and Saisyu.
• j. CD: Soft knockdown. Pretty good air-to-air.

Throws

Anvil Slam: (close) b/f + C

• Shingo cleanly replicates Kyo's Hachi Tetsu throw
• Regular knockdown

Unfinished Swift Shoulder Throw: (close) b/f + D

• Shingo only does the "throw" part of Kyo's Issestsu Seoi Nage, pretty sloppy too.
• Hard knockdown
• Reverse knockdown

Command Moves

Poseur's Thundering Axe: f + B

• Two-hit axe kick that is free-cancellable on the second hit
• The second hit is NOT an overhead
• Can combo into both hits from all cancel-able light attacks
• Can combo into the second hit from heavy attacks
• Second hit has a chance to be a CRITICAL HIT! It doesn't do more damage like other moves, but it does give you more time to cancel into something, especially DMs.
