Introduction

You can access Kouryu by highlighting Kaede at the character select screen, and pressing C 10 times, B 5 times, and C 4 more times.

If you perform this correctly, you'll hear his deep voice and then you can select him with A or D.

Fairly slow but massive jab that can confirm for an absurd amount of damage in any mode. Primarily used as either a fast poke or to check the opponent after a dash.

Your fastest button, and also your optimal grounded combo starter (when you're not already in a situation to get damage cap off everything else). Best button to mash out of pressure, and makes up the majority of your own stagger pressure. Has solid range so it very consistently links into itself or 5a.

High damage 2-hit normal. Pretty slow and has a mediocre hitbox compared to Kouryu's other normals, so it's mostly just combo filler.

Big damage counterpoke. Although rekka covers a similar space and overall does more damage, 6B seems to trade better with most things in power so it can be used to close out rounds from range.

Hits OTG. Kind of the awkward middle ground between 3c and 2c, while having a worse hitbox than both. Literally no reason to use over the other two stomps in practice.

Wallbounces on hit. Has incredibly short range compared to the rest of your kit, and it's not like Kouryu is starving for damage. Not great.

An unblockable with pretty mediocre range and slow startup. Can be delayed by holding the button. Kouryu stands in place during the startup, so there's pretty much no reason to use this.

A universal overhead that will stagger a crouching opponent or otherwise launch them. Has some useful juggle potential near the corner, giving speed mode some solid meterless damage. Can also find sparing use as a mixup.

Hits OTG. Very long range for an OTG and has decent frame advantage, letting you set up a fireball while still covering most character's forward rolls.

  • A, B, and C can cancel in both Power Mode and Speed Mode
  • forward + B (Power and Speed) is not cancellable
  • forward + C in Speed Mode is not cancellable

Long range low that leads to high damage. Can be hitconfirmed with 5b in speed. Incredibly plus on block, seemingly on switch guard as well(?). Creates a pseudo-block infinite on some characters in speed/EX with (4a>a>2a)*n, though this can be beaten by switch guarding the 2a and deflecting. Go-to low for mixups in speed/EX due to its safety and aforementioned pressure extension.

An unreactable low with unbelievably long range. Empty cancels into rekka for insane damage in any mode at any range. In the case you lose lifelead, combining this and 214C at range is a godsend against the few characters able to stuff your dash/hop attempts, as both will safely grant you a knockdown with which you can get your real pressure rolling.

Massive hitbox with some solid cross up potential. Hits as an IOH. The long startup actually plays to its favor, as it gives you time to cancel into super when used as an IOH. Canceling into super off specific ranges can lead to a real crossup into either fake or real crossup with the super, giving Kouryu insane oki during desperation.

  • Kouryu's sword transforms into a bow and shoots an arrow
  • Can be held by holding down the button, but the move's properties won't change if you do so
  • B version start out slower

The projectiles have an incredibly tall hitbox, completely stuffing hops and often anti-airing the opponent inadvertently
