DNFD/Kunoichi

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(10f faster) and decreases the MP consumption of Nin-Bound moves.

Kunoichi’s 5A is shorter teaching than most, but is quite fast overall and has good frame advantage. It makes for a good pressure tool as even though it can’t gatling into itself like 2A, it’s much safer on block.

Good poking normal with a bit more range than 2B. Smaller than most other character’s neutral options, but Kunoichi’s mobility is above average to compensate.

Kunoichi’s throw puts the opponent very far away. This is great in terms of corner carry but her midscreen meaties after suffer as a result. Being fullscreen as Kunoichi isn’t the end of the world either. In the corner, Kunoichi can catch jumps with 5B.

With Burning Stigma, Kunoichi can also combo after throw by OTGing the opponent with 236M. An example setup 2A 2A 2B 5S2 5M is an auto timed safe jump. If you empty jump throw the opponent, the Burning Stigma will detonate late enough for 236M to OTG..

Two quick kunai slices. Makes for good combo and blockstring filler as both hits are special cancellable.

Kunoichi can continue the combo with 4M if relatively close, 4S j.AB j.2C at most ranges even if the combo starts with 2A 2A, or 5M.

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.

Kunoichi can double jump after 2S recovers.

Kunoichi’s teleport. Has slightly different properties depending on if a Burning Stigma is present or not. Teleport makes for both a combo extender after 5S and a pressure extender when covered by Burning Stigma or her MS Skills.

Travels a set distance, Kunoichi can appear behind the opponent if close enough.
When the opponent is cornered, Kunoichi will appear above the opponent.
When the opponent is affected by Burning Stigma, Kunoichi will teleport just behind the opponent.
Under no circumstances can this move crossup in the corner.

Kunoichi tosses a bomb diagonally down. Useful for ending air combos and adding damage to combos using 236M.

Knocks a grounded opponent down.
Pushes Kunoichi backwards in the air. This does not occur if done extremely close to the ground, giving Kunoichi much higher frame advantage.

A debuff that is applied to enemies after they are hit with any of Kunoichi's MS Skills. Causes a delayed explosion after a few seconds. This delayed explosion can be used to cover pressure resets and gives Kunoichi an extra turn after her already extraordinarily plus MS Skills.

Debuff can be removed by hitting Kunoichi before it explodes.
Explosion causes a hard knockdown on hit.
