Introduction
Benimaru is a character well-equipped for both midrange poking and rushdown. He has a great set of normals to keep the opponent in check so he can go in and run offense. His aerial control is especially good because of his long range dp+K and a great air to air button in j.D. Once he is in, he has access to a great cancelable cr.B for low strings, a command grab that lets him run oki afterwards, and good jumping buttons for highs and crossups. Benimaru's main weakness is his lack of long ranged tools to fight with, and his floaty jump, which can be a double-edged sword.
