Overview

Overview

 Kunoichi  Kunoichi is classified as a Traps type. She is highly mobile thanks to her airborne jump and teleportation moves. She can enhance the properties of MP moves by charging them. She can also inflict Burning Stigma to the opponent, which sets off delayed explosions.

Pros

Cons

• Space Control: Kunoichi's kunai and M Skills give her incredible control over the screen. 236M and 214M in particular are very large and hard to avoid while also being highly advantageous on block.
• Mobility: being the only character with a double jump as well as having a teleport, Kunoichi is highly mobile. This also synergizes quite well with her space control.
• Pressure: Kunoichi's plethora of projectiles also lend themselves to being strong pressure tools. She can use their plus frames to easily cover teleports in blockstrings for extended pressure.
• Versatility: All of her M Skills apply Burning Stigmata on the opponent and can be charged for increased effectiveness.

• Short Range: Kunoichi's normals, being kunai strikes, do not have much reach. However, this is mostly mitigated by her mobility and pressure game.

Increases the speed of binding Nin and decreases the MP consumption of Nin-Bound moves.

A giant dragon punch style attack. Useful as an anti air, but be warned it has no invincibility, grounded or airborne. Note that Kunoichi recovers midair, meaning that she can do an air normal or her double jump afterwards. This lets her get an air combo afterwards, and can also make the move difficult to punish for opponents who aren't aware.
