Overview

Overview

Naoto is an aggressive rushdown character with high damage and great pressure options. Naoto can convert most hits into great damage thanks to his unique "Enhancer" mechanic - if Naoto performs a special move while dashing, said special move will gain new properties. These new properties give him excellent corner carry and can be used to great effect in combos. His DP is also one of the best reversals in the game, thanks to it having a huge forward hitbox with tons of active frames and invincibility.

Though he lacks the far reaching normals of other members of the cast and has no fireball, his good mobility and Enhanced specials allow him to quickly close the gap to his opponent. Though Naoto requires above average execution for optimized play, he rewards the effort with a strong combo potential and fantastic damage.

 Naoto Kurogane  Naoto Kurogane is a rushdown character with amazing pressure and huge damage.

Pros

Cons

• Simple but Effective Gameplan: Naoto's simple rushdown gameplan makes him very easy to pick up despite the strict execution for his BnBs.
• Strong and Oppressive Offense: Naoto's high damage and corner carry, good okizeme and strong pressure options make him terrifying if he ever converts from a hit.
• Good Mobility: Naoto has a good run speed, a quick air dash and fast moving specials which allow him to cover lots of screen space very quickly.
• Solid Defense: Naoto has great defensive options with a fast jab that hits crouching opponents, one of the best DPs, 2 strong reversal supers and a solid Counter Assault.
• Endorsed by the Wu-Tang Clan.

• Stubby Arms: Naoto has short range outside of charged Drive attacks, Enhanced Slash Kaid and Divine Smasher. The first are very slow, the second generally whiffs on airborne opponents and is unsafe when poorly spaced and the last requires meter and is generally unsafe on block.

Naoto's Drive allows him to transform his blood into melee weapons for longer range attacks. Naoto can charge them to further increase range and imbue them with Guard Break properties. While charging, Naoto can dash cancel to act as a feint.

Naoto's Drive attacks are faster especially when charged and grounded Drive moves become dash cancelable on hit and on block, including when charged. Additionally, the window to Enhance specials after a dash increases greatly, and Naoto can use Enhanced specials in the air. Finally, his hair and eyes will turn white and red, respectively.

Great jab, one of Naoto's primary buttons for his stagger pressure due to being fast, hitting crouchers, being jump cancelable on block, being only slightly minus and having excellent cancel options such as 5AA or 2A. Unlike most jabs, it is a level 2 normal, meaning it has more block/hitstun than usual, making it win most 5A/2A trades and allowing it to combo into Enhanced 236B and 214D when done out of a dash.

Can only be done after a 5A. Another of Naoto's primary presssure buttons as it also hits crouchers and is still only slightly minus, moves forward and leads to excellent reward on counter hit. Its forward movement also makes it the ideal hit confirm after 5A, spacing Naoto perfectly for his more advanced routing while also doing more damage than 5B. This move will sometimes whiff if 5A hits an airborne opponent too high.

Due to the angle it hits, it can be used as a fairly low commitment preemptive anti-air in neutral, however it lacks head invincibility making it less useful as a reactionary one. It moves forward slightly and is jump cancelable on block, giving it uses in pressure. As an anti-air, on regular hit it can only combo into rising air normals or in some cases a late hit 623C and on counter hit it can be linked into itself before air normals or directly into 214A~8A.

Sees lots of use in combos due to its great scaling and combo options after and is useful during pressure as it also moves forward slightly, is jump cancelable on block and has good natural frame traps into drives, however its high pushback can sometimes cause them to whiff against an opponent's Barrier. Serves as one of Naoto's main punishes along with 6D. Sees little use in neutral, it can sometimes be used as a poke but is generally outclassed by Enhanced 236B and Enhanced 214D and although it can be used as a decent whiff punish it is difficult to convert into good reward after.

Another primary pressure button due to being slightly minus, hitting low, being cancelable into itself and being cancelable into 5A even when 5A has been used in the string already. It can also low profile most 5As with only a few exceptions which can be useful when resetting pressure or when mashing out of the opponent's pressure. The low profile also makes it good as a very low commitment anti-air. Acts as Naoto's primary roll catch and gives Naoto good okizeme in the corner.

Running 2B is a rather useful neutral option due to its decent range (hits further horizontally than 5B while being just as fast), making it a quick low which leads to decent reward when buffered into Enhanced specials. Can be useful in pressure as Naoto's low option after 5AA or even after 2As for more gapless lows. Sees some use in okizeme, either as a higher reward callout than 2A or to cross under a neutral tech in some setups.

A great crouching anti-air with a large vertical hitbox and good invincibility, although it can turn Naoto the wrong direction when dealing with close IADs and cross ups or sometimes in combos. Bad in pressure due to its bad horizontal range and Naoto already having several normals that are jump cancelable on block. On an anti-air hit Naoto has several combo options, such as jump cancelling or delayed 5C, which are both hit-confirmable and allow continued pressure on block.

Naoto's only grounded overhead and a very strong one. It is decently fast with an arguably ambiguous startup animation, has many moves that cancel into it, leads to further pressure on block and can lead to over 4k damage on hit at any screen position without resources. Adds to Naoto's already scary stagger pressure, however be careful to not do this when the opponent is expected to mash as it will be interrupted.

A very strong pressure option due to its invincibility, forward movement, being only slightly minus, having a natural frame trap into 236B and being cancelable into from most of Naoto's normals, giving it uses as a callout or pressure reset. Its reward is lackluster on regular hit but is great on counter hit, emphasising its use as a throw crush. Due to putting Naoto airborne, it can be Rapid Canceled into an air dash for a surprising overhead.

To put it bluntly, this move is awful. Its main, niche uses are to catch chicken blocking (despite being air blockable) and as a knowledge check against opponents who treat the move as an air normal that hits crouching opponents to reset pressure. If Naoto does the kick directly above the opponent, they will have cross-up protection (due to walking). The ability to cancel the landing recovery even on whiff can be used to stay safe after whiffing the move by using 623D to beat late punish attempts.

• Does not hit crouching opponents
• Does not cross up in the corner
• Landing recovery can be canceled with any grounded move on hit, on block and on whiff, making it +6 on block when immediately canceled

Primarily sees use in combos as despite its bad scaling it sets up Naoto's best launches for standing opponents. Can sometimes be used in neutral preemptively to stick out a lingering low hitbox or offensively as an alternative to dashing 2B. Also sees some use in okizeme setups to cross under emergency techs.

5D	900	Mid	20 [18]	5	18	-2	B

Primarily used in combos due to its very good damage and scaling and lack of Same Move Proration and in pressure due to naturally frame trapping to and from itself, having small gaps after moves such as 5AA, 5B and 5C and into moves such as 2D or 214A/Drive dash canceled Enhanced 236B.

The charged version can be used sometimes in pressure as a surprising guard crush which can combo into 214A/Drive dash canceled Enhanced 236B or Enhanced 214D depending on distance or deal good barrier damage. Risky as a poke due to its slow speed and lack of full disjoint. Great for combos as it does incredible damage, scales well and has tons of untech if it hits low on an airborne opponent as it will cause a long slide, however its slow startup makes it difficult to route into without character specifics or resources. It is also fast enough to punish some reversals and leads to around as much damage as 6[D] while being more practical.

In Overdrive this can be used as a pressure reset with both versions being ±0 on block when dash canceled and the charged version acting as a very fast guard crush which leads to excellent reward. The charged version is also very useful in combos in the corner as it can combo into 2[D] when dash canceled after a low air hit at most scalings, potentially leading into a loop.

2D	900	Low	22 [20]	5	18	-2	F

Sees a similar use to 5D with more emphasis on combo usage, as it combos after 5D on air hit naturally and when done this way will always hit low for a slide. It sees some niche usage in neutral due to its low profile so it can be used as a preemptive poke.

The charged version will slide on a low air hit like with 5[D] except when in the corner where it will instead cause a wallstick, used often in combos as it combos into 5[D]. Also sees some niche usage in neutral as a long, low poke, however it is not fully disjointed and a well timed low crush can make it whiff or even counter hit Naoto.

In Overdrive it can still combo into 5[D] which allows these moves to be looped for excellent damage.

6D	1000	Mid	24 [22]	6	17	-2	B

This move is primarily as a combo tool used to end corner drive strings as it combos naturally into a 214A dash canceled Enhanced 214A~8A or as a punish tool for reversals. Not very useful in pressure due to its short horizontal range and not very useful in neutral due to its startup, with its use as an anti-air largely outclassed by 5B.

The charged version is Naoto's strongest starter due to its high base damage and scaling and its Fatal Counter property, however it starts too slowly to be practical compared to 5[D]. Sees little use in combos due to its startup.

In Overdrive, its faster startup makes it far more practical in combos and is generally used at the end of combos before a super or during combos outside the corner as it loops into itself after dash canceling. The startup also makes it a more practical punish (potentially leading to a Touch of Death) and leads into charged Drive loops with the help of a charged Crush Trigger or 2D (slightly character specific with this), making using raw Overdrive to bait reversals when low on life and with resources a terrifying option.

j.D	900	All	20 [18]	5	18+5L		H

Primarily used in neutral as a jump in due to its large downwards hitbox or sometimes as a defensive air to air. On air hit it will always soft knockdown including on counter hit, but as a starter if the opponent does not tech immediately Naoto can blue beat for a full combo. It sees minor use in combos at the end of short air strings, but any other version of the move is generally not used due to being outclassed by Naoto's other moves.

The charged version is generally used as a defensive poke due to its huge hitbox. When used offensively it is easier to punish as its long startup makes it prone to rising air normals or the opponent running under and punishing its landing recovery. Although it ground bounces on hit, it can be difficult to combo after at many heights and distances.

In Overdrive, the faster startup makes it a strong poke to throw out in neutral, however it retains its long recovery.

Forward Throw

One of Naoto's primary threats during pressure, it launches the opponent and wall splats in the corner (the splat height varies depending on where the throw connects) and leads to good damage on hit. Generally goes into a delayed microdash 5C or microdash 2C and if done at a particular distance from the corner it can combo into 2[D] instead.

• 100% minimum damage

Back Throw

Side swaps on hit and causes a stagger, which can combo into a microdash 5C or special canceled into 214A then dash canceled into 214D. Surprisingly leads to more than forward throw when fully in the corner.

Causes Guard Break and can only be blocked with Barrier and takes a lot of the Barrier Gauge. It can be charged to Guard Break for longer and take more Barrier. Generally outclassed by Naoto's other pressure options, although it is better than most Crush Triggers as it retains momentum from dash cancels which gives it excellent range. The charged version is incredible in combos when done early due to not scaling at all and setting up low air hit Drives which can combo into charged Drives for excellent, Heat efficient damage.

First part of Naoto's Rekka. Very strong in pressure, particularly when Enhanced, due to frame trapping after drives, being safe on block and leading to Naoto's other Rekka parts which lead to incredibly high reward on counter hit.

The Enhanced version can be useful as a poke due to hitting higher than 214D, allowing it to sometimes hit airborne opponents, however Naoto's hurtbox moves forward before the move becomes active so it can lose to preemptive buttons.

One of the third parts of Naoto's Rekka. Launches on hit, not very useful on regular hit when not Enhanced, having no combo options after without a Rapid Cancel and no okizeme midscreen. If the move Fatal Counters, it wall bounces and Naoto can combo after regardless of whether the move was Enhanced or not by recovering and then linking a 5C at most screen positions and 5B when fully in the corner.

The Enhanced version is used in most combos as it is dash cancelable on hit and can combo into 623C on opponents grounded before the move connects or 214D on opponents airborne before the move connects.

The alternative third part of Naoto's Rekka. Heaviily outclassed by BashGuardAllStartup14Recovery22Advantage-10 as it scales badly, only giving it uses as niche combo fodder. Used in extremely basic combos, after an Enhanced 236B that won't reach the corner or after a Fatal Counter RoarGuardAllStartup9Recovery18Advantage-7 or against Arakune where it can combo into 214A~8A with the use of a jump cancel cancel.

623C

When not Enhanced it is a niche anti-air due to being outclassed in most situations by 2C, as although it is faster, has invincibility earlier and hits higher, it is punishable on block and leads to far worse reward. It also sees some use in combos after floating an opponent high up as it can make the move hit late, allowing Naoto to link a 5A after.

The Enhanced version is primarily a combo tool used to launch standing opponents.

• Enhanced inputs: 6623, 6263 (recommmended for wakeup) and 62366

---

623D

Commonly regarded as the strongest DP in the game, it is fast, has lots of active frames and invincibility and has good horizontal range, especially when Enhanced where Naoto also travels very far. It lacks a hitbox directly above or behind it, making it prone to the opponent forward jumping over Naoto and making it whiff, however the Enhanced version recovers quickly and travels far so it can be difficult to punish. Sees niche use on okizeme as a callout tool as when delayed its active frames and invincibility will outlast most moves in the game and when the Enhanced version is Rapid Canceled Naoto can do a falling j.B, although this will often whiff if done outside the corner and the opponent crouch blocks it point blank without Barriering, often leaving Naoto punishable.

When not Enhanced, this move is primarily used as a combo tool in the corner to float standing opponents higher after a 3C. It has niche uses as a preemptive poke, but its startup and lack of reward make it outclassed.

The Enhanced version is one of Naoto's most used tools. In combos it does great damage and scales well, naturally carries far due to its forward movement and extends combos due to its good untech. In neutral it can be used as a fast, long range horizontal poke that is safe on block when spaced and leads to a full combo on any kind of hit, however its vertical hitbox is relatively short and will generally whiff on airborne opponents unless they are starting or landing from a jump. Its low blockstun and recovery can make it a bit difficult to punish, especially if its blocked in neutral. The move has several different ways it can hit:

• On far grounded hit it causes a stagger state,
• On close grounded (or sliding) hit it causes a side swap and crumples the opponent with forced untech,
• On air hit it floats the opponent,
• On far grounded or air counter hit it causes a float, and
• On close grounded counter hit it causes a longer crumple.
• Enhanced inputs: 66214 and 21466

				39 [37]			1~30 HBP [1~26 HBP]

Sees lots of use in combos as Naoto's main way to combo into Enhanced specials as Drive dash cancels are slower and limited by his cancel options. Useful as a callout against reversals as it can cause them to whiff, meaning they cannot be Rapid Canceled and can be punished. Can be used in neutral to evade projectiles and dash canceling once they pass Naoto to close the distance. When Enhanced it is riskier to use in neutral as it lacks the dash cancel option. Sees limited use defensively due to losing to Foot attribute moves and is generally a knowledge check at best. Although it has projectile invincibility it is generally not long enough to outlast projectile okizeme setups.

Naoto's combo throw which does excellent damage, has good untech and stabilizes the opponent's height, making it great in combos. It is hard-coded to whiff on crouching opponents. Not very useful as an anti-air due to its startup and being prone to turning the wrong way. Due to being a true air unblockable (cannot be air Barrier blocked) it has uses as a tech trap, however this is largely invalidated if the opponent doesn't air tech. Can sometimes be done as a fuzzy guard break after a low j.C or 6A, however this is completely invalidated by the opponent holding a Barrier block.

The Enhanced version is done after an Enhanced Shift Sway. Enhanced Phantom Pain is faster, so including the frames until Sway can be canceled into Pain, Pain's full startup is 23f and Enhanced Pain's startup is 21f. Highly used in combos to side swap the opponent after a microdashed 2C.

• Unburstable as it is a combo throw
• Loses the projectile invincibility from Shift Sway

Ground Version

Primarily used in neutral as a callout or on reaction to projectiles due to its fast forward movement and long projectile invincibility. On counter hit in the corner it combos into a microdashed 5A or 5B. It has use as a reversal due to its quick startup and long projectile invincibility beating some okizeme setups, as well as being safe if the opponent tries to bait a reversal by forward jumping over Naoto.

The Enhanced version does 20% more damage and travels further and faster, going almost full screen.

• Normal: 800 minimum damage
• Enhanced: 960 minimum damage
• Enhanced inputs: 6321466 (recommended) and 6632146

In Overdrive Naoto does an additional flip kick, adding more damage. Outclassed by OD 632146D as an ender. With a Rapid Cancel, it becomes an incredibly damaging and stable starter, making raw Overdrive on defense or raw air Overdrive as an anti-anti-air directly into Divine Smasher on reaction to an attack whiffing through the Overdrive a very strong option, especially with the super's fast startup and range.

• Normal: 1080 minimum damage
• Enhanced: 1188 minimum damage

Air Version

The air version is similar to the ground version, but it aims diagonally downward. Can be followed up with several moves depending on how low Naoto is and the height of his opponent when doing the move, such as 623C, 2C/3C or even an Enhanced 632146B or 632146D.

In Overdrive Naoto does the same flip kick as when used on the ground. This means Naoto cannot combo after without a Rapid Cancel.

• Normal: 720 minimum damage
• OD: 1050 minimum damage

When done far from the opponent or the opponent is too high, Naoto will launch a projectile which he can combo after on hit in most cases. When done close on an opponent at the right height, Naoto will do a followup, the move having slightly higher minimum damage than an Enhanced 632146B. It has use as a reversal due to its long active frames and invincibility.

With a Rapid Cancel, although expensive, this move will beat nearly anything and lead to great damage, making it a strong option if Naoto is in range for the followup and the opponent does not have Overdrive (delayed Overdrive after super flash will make it whiff and Overdrive Raid on reaction to the super flash will always make it whiff). It has uses in pressure, defense and okizeme:

• On a grounded block, Rapid Cancel into a microdashed 6A or microdashed 2D/2B for an invisible high/low mixup,
• On an air block, Rapid Cancel into an Enhanced Phantom PainGuardUnblockable (120)Startup15 [5]Recovery28Advantage- for a true air unblockable, and
• On hit, at midscreen Rapid Cancel the followup and run up into Enhanced 236B, in the corner Rapid Cancel the followup into 2[D] and to side swap Rapid Cancel the first hit and run under into 6D for a full, damaging combo.

In Overdrive, the move does more damage and has a longer slide. If done after a Fatal Counter starter, it can always combo into 623C or (Enhanced) 632146B.

• Projectile: Normal: 414 minimum damage, OD: 480 minimum damage
