A Normals

5A

Knock 'em in the head, psudeo anti air

[6f startup/ 3f active / 16f recovery / -6 on block]

• Adachi's fastest normal tied with 2A, really good vertical hitbox which helps with converting off of air confirms.

• -6 on block, best chained into 2A to make 5A safe

• Jump Cancellable on block

5AA

Advancing backhand swing, smack some sense into them

[10f startup / 3f active / 18f recovery / -6 on block]

• Moves Adachi forward, making it a good button to confirm into for pressure and combos

• Can setup frametraps or tick throws with stance > grab, basic Adachi mix to know

5AAA

Kick their shins, surprise low that isn't true in a blockstring

[15f startup / 3f active / 18f recovery / -4 on block]

Foot invuln from frames 4-17

• Surprise low, but it can be mashed out of due to it's long startup

• After 5AA, 5AAA will not connect if the opponent is too high. Not a good combo tool for air confirms

• Good for meterless crouch confirm when cancelled into 5AAAA afterwards, which gives you the meter and burst gain bonus.

• Can be cancelled into Sweep for the extra low, but it's not a true blockstring.

2A

Sadly, not a low

[6f startup / 3f active / 10f recovery / -2 on block]

• Your fastest grounded normal tied with 5A, should not be used for abare since it doesn't go far and you'll be susceptible for crouch confirm combos (which is as bad as a Fatal Counter combo)

• Can be cancelled into itself 3 times

• -2 on block, making it good really good for stagger pressure and tick throws

• In certain routes, it is used for picking up an opponent after using Magatsu Mandala

j.A

Jabbing air strike

[7f startup / 3f active / 9f recovery / ? on block]

• Fast jab with limited range

• Can be cancelled into itself 3 times

• Easy air to ground confirms

• Overhead
