Normals
Close
- cl.A/B/C/D are all cancellable
- cl.A/B chain into themselves and each other
Standing
- s.A is cancellable
- s.B is Kensou's furthest reaching normal and a decent hop killer
- s.C hits twice and is cancellable on the 2nd hit. It will connect both hits from a pretty far distance
- s.D is slow, but a decent anticipatory anti-air
Crouching
- cr.A/C are cancellable
- cr,A/B chain into themselves and each other.
Jump
- j.A/D are very solid jump in/combo starters
- j.B crosses up on standing opponents, but misses frequently on crouching ones
- Kensou lacks a solid crossup normal, but j.D acts as a fake crossup til the opponent understand there is nearly no risk of being crossed up.
- poor jump normals are mildly augmented by Dragon Tear special
Blowback
- s.CD is whiff cancellable
- j.CD has an interesting downward hitbox for jump ins.
Overall a pretty mediocre set of normals with some upsides.
