5A is really good for Deathbringer, in that it has more strengths than weaknesses. For starters, on block and hit, 5A grants a huge amount of frame advantage. This plays a huge part after a Gachi Match up close. Successfully Gachi Matching up close gives the ability to link 5A to 2C, an easy 3 hit combo with a chance to juggle afterwards. Even without having to Gachi, Deathbringer can link 5A to 2B, c.5C, or his 5B > 5D attack set, which is slightly more difficult but is still very useful. Deathrbinger's jab, like most characters' jabs, make a way to reset the opponent, especially in the corner. Most juggles that end with 5A put the opponent at mid range, which is where Deathbringer needs them to be in order to play the game he needs to play. It's only downside is that some characters can crouch under or low profile this move, to which 2A becomes the move to use.

Deathbringer hits with a true low, slightly forward moving punt-like kick. While it may look like a good tool, it is far from it. The only real benefit this move has is that it is the first part of his 5B > 5D attack set. Aside from that, the horrible frames on block and the fact that it moves slow should deter anyone from using 5B alone. This is best used in juggles and linking it from 5A up close.

c.C only has two good uses: it makes a great punish up close, and it links from 5A. If you do not have Deathbringer's awesome links down enough to punish people with, then this is his next best option. The only downside to this is that c.5C has a 7 frame startup, so moves that 5A could punish, c.5C cannot, essentially diminishing Deathbringer's punishing options and maximum damage potential.

This move is very deceptive. Despite it's -12 frames on block, Deathbringer can actually use this without fear of punishment against most of the cast, provided they block the whole move. The current 3 strongest characters, Face, Ashley, and Cedric, can punish Deathbringer easily on block, even at max range. Some of the other characters might have some ways to punish, but it becomes extremely difficult when f.5C is used at max distance. Typically, f.5C hits twice, but when Gachi Matched, the second part will whiff, giving opponents the chance to dash in and attack accordingly.

Utilizing 5D at it's max potential is key for Deathbringer's success. While it's not always op-tune, 5D can serve as a decent anti-air attack, albeit slow. The charged version is NOT unblockable, but it does make a good juggle filler, mainly in Heat Up juggles after a Gachi Drive. The hitbox for 5D acts strange around his head, so it can allow for unique Heat Up juggles that lead to a massive amount of damage. Given the fact that this move cannot cancel into anything, if anticipated, Gachi Matching 5D will render Deathbringer defenseless.

Like 5A, 2A is a great tool for Deathbringer. It has the same startup as 5A, and still nets a fair amount of frame advantage, although slightly less. On Counter Hit, the 2A > 2D attack set becomes an actual combo that produces a Hard Knockdown, so Counter Hit phishing becomes a viable strategy. Given that 2A is Deathbringer's fastest crouching attack, this and Gachi are his only real defenses against characters who are rushdown oriented.

At the mid to close range, 2B can become the tool to use when rushing down, and cornering opponents. Even though it's -7 on block, it can cancel into 41236B/D to keep Deathbringer safe from retaliation. On a successful hit confirm, cancelling into 623C or even 41236B will do a considerable amount of damage. If you happen to have a charge handy, 2B can go into 63214D up close.

Deceptively safe, 2D is one of those moves that makes opponents think they have the advantage when at best they and Deathbringer are left at neutral.

Final Strike
- If Deathbringer successfully hits the opponent three times with his sword attacks [f.5C, 2C, 5D, 2D, 6D], he will activate Final Strike, which has a really big hit box, and always connects after the third hit. Deathbringer's 5C and 2C will only hit once on Normal Hit and Counter Hit. Lastly, while he loses the c.5C > 6D attack set, he gains c.5C > f.5C.
