In-depth Analysis

The best striker of the game.

With striker Kasumi, you can interrupt jumps and rushs, steal meter, knockdown the opponent, corner carry and combo with DM / SDM moves. She's a multipurpose striker so.

That's why she's considered as best striker in this game, even if there're less possibilities of deadly combos with striker Kasumi compared to striker Clark. The range of striker kasumi's attack is shorter compared to the attack of striker Clark also.

She's mid-tier when she's playable.
