5A

Damage GuardHow this attack can be guarded. Throws have their throw range listed instead. StartupHow many frames the attack needs to go through in order to reach its active frames. The listed startup frame coincides with the move's first active frame. ActiveHow many frames where there is a hitbox that can hit an opponent. The first active frame occurs on the listed startup frame. RecoveryHow many frames that the character must go through after an attack's active frames to automatically go back to a neutral stance, or the total duration of the move if it has no hitbox/creates projectiles. Frame AdvHow many frames the attacker's recovery ends before the defender's blockstun ends if the attack is blocked. A positive value indicates that the attacker recovers first, while a negative value indicates that the defender recovers first. This value usually assumes that the attack's first active frame (of each hit, if multi-hit) is blocked.

Invuln

  • Hits crouching
  • Gatlings into 6A 6B
  • Jump cancelable on hit and on block

Great jab. Can be jump-canceled on hit and on block. Great for pressure thanks to it being able to gatling into itself from 2A. Difficult to get good damage off of hit confirm mid screen thanks to that combo route requiring the 2C whiff. Dash 5A enhanced Slash Kaid can easily lead to 3k midscreen.

5AA

Invuln

  • Hits crouching
  • Gatlings into 6A 6B
  • Moves Naoto slightly forward
  • Causes stagger on counter hit

Naoto performs a quick body-blow on the opponent. Good for pressure and combos off 5A. Does more damage than going straight into 5B off 5A. Counter hit has a very large hit stun and better proration than any other 5A enabling it to combo into 6D for well over 4k with no heat. Can not be jump-canceled.

  • Jump cancellable on hit and on block
  • Gatlings into 6B
  • Moves Naoto slightly forward.

A kick aimed high. Short horizontal range but good vertical. Can be jump-canceled on hit and on block. Staple for combos and pressure. Good air poke thanks to decent vertical range. Hitbox was buffed in 2.0 so its use of being an AA is far better.

  • Jump cancelable on hit and on block
  • Gatlings into 6B
  • Moves Naoto slightly forward

Roundhouse kick with some horizontal range. Another staple for combos and pressure. Can be jump-canceled on hit and on block. Delaying 5C works great against fuzzy guard and will turn a mash into 4k+ on counter.

  • Gatlings into 6A 6B

Fast but short ranged kick. Hits low. Good for stagger pressure. Gatlings into itself from 5A. Not as useful as 5A since it has less frame advantage and can't be jump canceled. Its main benefit is that it hits low, and lowers Naoto's hitbox greatly. Used wisely, you can low profile some moves with this. Not as useful for starting pressure since 5A does everything this does much better.

Invuln

  • Head invulnerability
  • Float state on counter
  • Jump cancelable on hit and block

A crouching uppercut with good head invulnerability. A great, solid crouching anti-air with a large hitbox, though it tends to turn Naoto the wrong direction when dealing with IADs and cross ups. Shouldn't be used often in blockstrings, especially against barrier, because of its short horizontal range. Anti air confirm should be followed up with phantom pain on hit, and 6D on counter hit.

  • Bonus Proration 110%
  • Forces crouching on hit

Naoto hits the opponent with an overhead punch. Decent speed, can be followed up with Cs, Ds and specials. Naoto's only standing overhead.

Invuln

  • Lower body invulnerability
  • Throw invulnerability

A flying kick with good advantage. Can be rapid-canceled for IAD mixups. This will beat 2A mash attempts because of its invuln and low crush properties. Can only be followed up with Inferno Crusader on regular hit. On CH you can followup with different moves without the need of RC. Can occasionally be used to reset pressure thanks to being -1 on block/0 on Barrier. Has slightly more range and less start up than 5D. In some matchups you can combine this with 2A to make it risky for your opponent to mash out of pressure. Use 6B to low crush, and use 2A to low profile higher hitting moves.

  • Does not hit crouching

Naoto does a giant leap before kicking at the opponent. Can easily cross-up, is safe on block and should be followed up with dash B for a good combo. Does not cross up in corner. If Naoto does the kick directly above the opponent, they will have cross-up protection. Has a hitbox in front of Naoto. Gatlings after any D normal to catch opponent's trying to jump out of D pressure. Benefits to this move is the ability to normal or special cancel the landing recovery on whiff

Hits the opponent with a blade of blood. Mainly used for corner combos. The long start up makes it ideal against players abusing fuzzy guard. Use cautiously, skilled opponents will use reversals or OD after 5C if it's not used spareingly. The dash cancel should be used on any non A hit confirm to go into 6623C 5A 2C rekka.

Fully charged, it can be used to break the opponent's guard and quickly go into Divine Smasher for damage. Causes a long stagger on hit and a slide on air hit.

During OD has an extremely fast start up.

Naoto makes a blade of blood and aims upward, slashing with high diagonal range. 6D is a staple for combos, usually leading to high damage when used. CH 5C/2C>6D will lead to strong damage anywhere on screen.

Charged version is Naoto's best starter for high damage: it has huge range, is a Fatal Counter, and causes a wallbounce on hit.

Naoto aims downward with a blade of blood. Has decent horizontal and downward range. Good for combos. Charging slows down Naoto's descent so it can be used to bait anti-airs, and when fully charged, the horizontal range is huge. Leads to a good combo if spaced right and is an overall good tool with many purposes. Charged version causes groundbounce on hit.

C Version

  • Head invulnerability 4-11

Naoto does a rising uppercut with his fist. C version has 1 hit and doesn't do much damage. Strictly an anti-air. Enhanced C version has 2 hits and more hitstun, allowing Naoto to follow it up anywhere with 5A for a combo.


D Version
  • Enhanced version beats almost every attack in the game.

Easily the best DP in the game. Massive range, especially when enhanced. D version has 2 hits, tons of invul and is used to end combos. D version has a claw effect on it while C version does not.

Enhanced D version does 5 hits instead of 2, dealing more damage. It is also a situational anti-air in some cases, though should only be used in that sense if you have meter to Rapid Cancel.

  • Head, Body, and Projectile invulnerability
  • Phantom Pain shortcut removed in 2.0
  • Enters Dash Cancel State on Frame 9

Naoto sways back, dodging the opponent's attack. Dodges highs, mids and projectiles, but loses to lows and throws. Can dash-cancel at any time during the animation, which is useful for going into Enhanced specials. You can even do Shift Sway>dash cancel>Enhanced Shift Sway for a solid crossup. 2146A will buffer a forward input allowing easier dash cancel enhanced specials.

Enhanced version makes Naoto move forward. The movement is very fast and, if the opponent is next to him, he will go behind them almost instantly. Very solid crossup tool that can be used to mess with the opponent's head. Will swap sides even if opponent is in the corner. Works well against wake up distortion drives/reversals giving you enough time to counter with 6D or dash 5B/5C enhanced Slash Kaid.

  • Unblockable and unburstable, as it is technically a throw.
  • Hard-coded to whiff on crouching opponents, including opponents performing crouching moves.
  • Head and Body invulnerable, but strangely loses its projectile invulnerability.
  • Enhanced Phantom Pain Starts up in 5f compared to Regular's 15

After Shift Sway, Naoto will do a rising kick. If it hits, he will follow it up with a second kick. Can be followed up with dash 5B/5C for a solid combo anywhere. Can be used to Reset albeit unreliably, and functions as a powerful antiair, but kind of a quasi-low attack against grounded opponents. Phantom Pain and Enhanced Phantom Pain are considered two different moves.

  • 2C>Pain = Approx 23f
  • 2C>EnPain = Approx 21f

Version Damage GuardHow this attack can be guarded. Throws have their throw range listed instead. StartupHow many frames the attack needs to go through in order to reach its active frames. The listed startup frame coincides with the move's first active frame. ActiveHow many frames where there is a hitbox that can hit an opponent. The first active frame occurs on the listed startup frame. RecoveryHow many frames that the character must go through after an attack's active frames to automatically go back to a neutral stance, or the total duration of the move if it has no hitbox/creates projectiles. Frame AdvHow many frames the attacker's recovery ends before the defender's blockstun ends if the attack is blocked. A positive value indicates that the attacker recovers first, while a negative value indicates that the defender recovers first. This value usually assumes that the attack's first active frame (of each hit, if multi-hit) is blocked. On ODRThe difference between the attacker's total animation length and the period the opponent is in overdrive raid. This frame advantage is based off the assumption that both players input during the hitstop of a prior move, so that this attack and ODR start on the same frame. AttributeSome attacks are invulnerable to attacks with specific attributes. This notes what attributes each attack possesses.

OD Followup


Ground Version
  • Normal: 800 minimum damage
  • Enhanced: 960 minimum damage

Naoto charges at the opponent with a powerful straight punch. Very fast, has about midscreen range. Ground version goes forward. Projectile invul. On Counter Hit, can be followed up with 2A, 2B or 2c in the corner for a very damaging combo.

Enhanced version does 20% more damage and has more range, going almost full screen.


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

Overdrive version does an additional flip kick with blood, adding more damage. Good against zoners as well as a good way to end air combos if you want to kill.


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

The air version is similar to the ground version, but it aims diagonally downward. Overdrive version does the same flip kick as when used on the ground. Good tool used against air resets.

  • 1004 minimum damage (full animation only)
  • 1350 minimum damage during OD (full animation only)

Naoto launches a blood wave that looks like a giant Dead Spike. If he's close enough, he will do the full animation, where he launches the opponent up and smashes them with a deadly elbow strike. Mainly used for big damage at the end of Naoto's combos. Enhanced version does a mini-dash before launching the wave, making it easier to catch the opponent in the full animation.

If he's too far, only the Dead Spike will hit, dealing only 1450 damage but allowing him to follow up.

Overdrive version has Naoto create a giant blood scythe after the wave and powerfully slashes the opponent. Can easily be combo'd into from 5C or 3C. Naoto's highest-damaging combos will rely on Overdrive Reaper.

  • Does not cost Heat, but immediately ends Overdrive if used.
  • Becomes stronger and flashier with Active Flow.
  • Behaves like all other Exceed Accels.

It's a fully invulnerable reversal, like 623D. Only it's incredibly telegraphed, has worse range, uses up your Overdrive, you don't get oki, and you can't rapid cancel to make it safe on block. Use sparingly, if at all.

Punishable on block and leaves them at fullscreen.

Naoto's hair and eyes turn white and red, even if he isn't in Overdrive. He then prepares a giant scythe of blood and begins slashing the opponent repeatedly before ending it with his strongest slash. One of the fastest and easiest astrals in the game. Combos after practically everything, including 5AA. Slides absurdly far when cancelled from dash cancel
