Strategies
Overview
Katze's gameplan revolves around his superior poking skill using 5A, 2A and (66)2C, which he can easily use to link into one of his heavily damaging combos. His zoning game is also among the best in the game, thanks to Apyornis Wing. In a way, he plays very much like a Ryu without fireballs.
Mode selection
Katze's best modes are definitely Tranquility and Freedom. His monster mode ends up being pretty useless due to how slow his specials become when shifted, which make it near impossible to do as much damage as in the other modes.
Tranquility mode
This mode is played very defensively, making use of dashing in with good pokes and backdash cancelling to pressure your opponent into making a mistake and falling into an Apyornis Wing or hitting him with one of your high/low mixup attacks, which can all be comboed into high damaging combos with relative ease.
Combos
From anywhere on the screen: 5AB(2hit)C 236A @ 5C 236A 236B 236C (~3800 and ~4800 damage)
Air-to-air combo: jABC (land) 5C 236B @ 5C 236A 236B 236C (around 4500 damage)
Dashing overhead: 66C 5C @ 5C 236A 236B 236C (3700 damage)
Dashing low attack: 662C 236A @ 5C 236A 236B 236C (~3700 damage)
Crouching: 2AAC 236B @ 5C 236A 236B 236C (~4400 damage)
On crouching opponents: Same as above, but replace 2C by 5C, deals about the same damage.
