Overview
Amane is a evasive zoner with great chip damage, high range and air maneuverability, albeit with slow speed.
Amane is hard to catch in neutral due to his ability to stay airborne, poke with incredibly-long normals and push his opponents away if they get close, which gives him the ability to control the pace of the game. Once they do get in however, Amane is at a significant disadvantage until he can make space again.
While Amane has basically no mixup in the traditional sense, he has a lot of strong pressure and okizeme tools, and his Drive gives him the highest chip damage in the game while also increasing his combo damage, allowing him to create a pseudo-mixup between his dangerous chip damage or high reward frame traps.

Amane's Drive attacks turn his cloth into a drill he uses to attack his opponent. Using Drive attacks will fill the Spiral Gauge for up to three levels. Different levels of Spiral Gauge grant different properties to Amane's Drive Attacks. Here are some of the specifics:
- There are a total of 3 levels of Spiral Gauge. Gauge increases upon using D attacks and decreases over time. Gauge builds even on whiffed D attacks.
- Drill attacks gain hits, attack level, and damage on hit as well as chip damage with each level.
- Drill can overheat if charged for too long. When overheated, D moves and specials cannot be used until the meter resets, starting at Level 1 again.
- Each attack will deal more hits if the button is held down, with each hit contributing to the Spiral Gauge. Can stop holding moves at any time.Overdrive: CycloneHis Overdrive powers up his drill, making it much easier to get to level 3 and prevent overheat.
- Spiral Gauge continues to rapidly rise to level 3 and then stops. (Does not immediately become level 3 on activation).
- Amane's Distortion Drives become enhanced, gaining extra hits and dealing more damage.
- 6D does more hits, but gains drill gauge slower, allowing it to deal more damage for longer without overheating the drill.
Normal Moves
5A
A pretty stubby jab that hits twice, making it more committal than others. Thankfully, it's pretty fast and hits higher than it looks, which makes it great as an anti air. The second hit can come in handy hitting slightly delayed jumpins as well, and it sharing a button with 6A can help deal with left/right situations. Beyond that however, it doesn't see much use due to being easily low profiled by low-hurtbox attacks or simply by crouching.

Most versatile ground normal. Has pretty respectable range and reaches incredibly high, meaning it can stuff out fuzzy jumps and air approaches very effectively, and it's a good combo tool on air hits due to being able to gatling into all grounded C normals. Its 3 hits are good for both hitconfirming and draining barrier, the latter being incredibly useful when the opponent is using barrier to push your Drives away. The move also leads to absurdly damaging combos when up close as a grounded starter, hovering around 4.5k to 5k even with level 1 Spiral.

First of your many C vaccum normals. One of your main space control and combo tools with a large deadzone between the hitbox and Amane, but otherwise fully disjointed. Not as widely applicable as some others due to it being low profiled by even a slight hurtbox displacement, but still useful by catching lower-height airborne opponents. It has two hits, popping the opponent up to be combo'd into 6CGuardMidStartup23Recovery24Advantage-11. On grounded hit, they simply get pulled in, but won't reel long enough for you to connect 2C
GuardLow/Air, AllStartup21Recovery23Advantage-8, although other gatlings and cancels still work. Not very useful in pressure due to the deadzone and the fact that it whiffs on crouching opponents, but if someone jumps and blocks this you do get a a chance to reset pressure with hop.

Fairly average whiff cancelable 2A, one of your main ways to mash out on defense, although its range is pretty terrible. The move has 3 versions, with each one coming out as a part of its self-cancel chain. These will come out even on whiff, and the third one cancels to the first one only on hit or block. Because of this, it's better to confirm your hits with a hitstop/blockstop option select by pressing 2A > 2BGuardLowStartup10Recovery19Advantage-5 so you don't overcommit on whiff.

Upwards angled pull with two hits. Has uses in combos, pressure, and neutral. As usual, the move has a deadzone between the hoop and Amane.
On block the opponent is pulled to the ground, setting up a potential pressure situation, which makes it good at catching people out of backjumping your pressure or jumping at its specific angle in neutral. On hit, the first and second hit both slide the opponent, however the second one pulls the opponent harder, resulting in a sideswitch; both hits have routes unique to them. Notably, at Level 3 Drill, the second hit (sometimes even the first) can go straight into 2D, leading to massive damage air combos.

Short range air normal, and your single overhead attack that gatlings from j.B. Amane's only real close range air-to-air, but, again, the range can really hurt it. Its reward is generally mediocre but it nets consistent conversions into j.236C for a knockdown. Despite the hitbox, the move is actually quite good when used offensively. Short blockstun and its overhead property make it useful for keeping the opponent on their toes and force them to focus on looking for tick throws, F-shikis, or reverse beat overhead pressure from Zettou.

Offers the best balance of covering space versus ease of use. You want to use this move a lot but beware of opponents counter hitting its huge hurtbox.
- Can beat rolls by using Zettou > j.B after Gekiren, Gosei, Seijyuu.
- Amane's own hurtbox includes the sash, leading to some strange counterhits.
- Cannot cancel into Zettou or choujin on block.
- Can reverse beat into j.A.

Obnoxious air normal. j.2B has its uses in a lot of different places due to its amazing hitbox and ability to alter your movement in an instant. Can be cancelled into from jumping C normals, or during airdash/Hop to cancel them and quickly land making pressure and neutral that much more unpredictable. On top of that the move is massively disjointed for a lot of its active frames which makes it prone to clashing with dedicated anti airs, or outright beating them due to the short delay before it gets going. Bounces Amane back up, even if its blocked, and leaves him with all of his remaining air actions as well as the ability to launch another air normal, although at major frame disadvantage. The bounce gets nullified at minimum height where you reach the ground before bouncing, which leads to + frames and full combos.
- Special cancelable, leads to combos with Zettou
- Will cause ground bounce on hit
- Can be used to set up an ambiguous crossup after an IAD or bait throw tech mash

With the use of Zettou, this move does a good job at extending or starting pressure. Good harass with a few options and rewards afterwards.
- Can be used to punish certain grounded projectiles.
- Spins the opponent into soft knockdown on regular hit, but launches into the air on counter hit.

Drive Moves
Each of Amane's Drive normals can have their active frames and number of hits increased by holding D. Their chip damage, as well as how often they hit, is affected by Amane's drill level. With the exception of 6D, Amane's Drive normals share the following properties:
- At Level 1 they re-hit every 3 frames, for a total of 3 hits minimum or 11 hits maximum, and deal 30% chip damage.
- At Level 2 they re-hit every 2 frames, for a total of 4 hits minimum or 16 hits maximum, have 2 more frames of blockstun than Level 1, and deal 60% chip damage.
- At Level 3 they re-hit every 1 frame, for a total of 7 hits minimum or 30 hits maximum, have 2 more frames of blockstun than Level 2 (4 more than Level 1), deal 90% chip damage, and also have 5% minimum damage.
- Due to having 1 frame of one-sided blockstop at all levels, opponents cannot Counter Assault or Overdrive Raid between hits of a Level 3 drill on block.

A common gatling for block strings that creates distance while gaining Spiral gauge and chipping. It can be special canceled at any time while being blocked which makes it safe against ODR, that is if a hit of it is blocked. With no gatlings from it, this is one of your main pressure reset or pressure ending points. On block either command hop in to reset pressure, hop away to bait reversals and anti-airs, fish for a frame trap with Hariken, or end with Ginga for maximum safety. The move also becomes +1 on Level 3 Hariken stance cancel, which isn't super strong since you'll be barriered and pushed out most of the time anyway, but it can make it hard for the opponent to retaliate after your pressure.

High risk, mediocre to low reward anti air, but not one without use, specifically against delayable air approaches, like divekicks, since it can be held like all drive attacks, this time also extending its invul frames. Can also be useful against more ambiguous left-right approaches due to its input, but if whiffed, a very strong punish is probably on its way. Knocks down on counterhit, allowing a followup, albeit mostly for only decent damage, especially compared to your other anti airs. 2D ultimately sees more usage as corner combo filler, where it can be combo'd from, and can land all of its hits as one of your more damaging Drives. Also seen midscreen in lvl 3 Drill combos.

- On Block values change based on which level you start the move on, not the ending level.
Your best way to raise your drill level. You can combo into it for 50 meter with Hariken B RC or 100 meter with Seijyuu RC. Gosei and Ginga can both be RC'd to combo into it, but both are quite difficult. You can use this as okizeme after Ginga or as a reset in block strings and combos. Even if it's blocked, you're guaranteed level 3 drill. Don't be too predictable, however, as opponents can roll/delay tech out of it on wakeup and jump out in blockstrings, leaving you in a great deal of recovery. Many characters also have good tools for escaping 6D, like Azrael's Growler, Naoto's Divine Smasher, or the Murakumos' backdashes
- Add more hits by holding button; minimum of 4 hits (at all levels) if the attack starts in range, normally a maximum of 26 hits (6 Lv1, 8 Lv12, 12 Lv3) before overheating.

- Projectile moves forward along the ground slightly on whiff; holding button will also make the drill attempt to travel longer, and will still extend the move if it moves into range on a later hit.

- On Block value against grounded opponent, button held until landing
Strong move in conjunction with hop, connects properly against crouching opponents when done right after A Zettou, and can be held until landing, giving you some nice plus frames. As such this is one of your main ways to reset pressure with a forward hop while building drill meter, but do keep in mind and if the opponent has barrier, Amane will pushed back insanely quick and you'll likely return to neutral. In neutral, the ability to hold Drive until landing can lead to consistent plus frames when used as a jumpin, but the momentum halt and lengthy startup can be both a blessing and a curse against anti airs.
Otherwise, this is the least damaging drive normal that Amane has. Not super rewarding in combos compared to his other D moves. It can be used for effective chipp strings like 5D > 236A > j.D > j.236A > j.D, though remember to mix it up with frame traps (like 5D > delay 214C) to avoid abare.

This move has very few uses in neutral game and is really a combo tool. As the most damaging Drive in your arsenal, it's usually optimal to route around including this in the airborne sections of your combos. Wallbounces the opponent which can usually be followed up, most consistently on level 3, however it's applicable in both grounded launches and air juggles on every drive level.

Comboable in a variety of ways, like stance cancel, hop forward, or Hariken > C. Wallsticks in the corner, which can mess with your combos, since the height of the wallstick is determined by distance from corner, and different pickups are required depending on this. On a successful extension, the reward can go from underwhelming to downright absurd depending on Drill level and optimizations, especially in the corner.

Uses 5B's animation and is absolutely huge as a result, even on the vertical end. This means it's harder to simply bait it with a jump than other CA's, though not impossible, so be mindful. One of Amane's best defensive options to avoid having to scamble with his stubby A normals.

One of the worst guard crushes for actually guard crushing people because the horizontal range is bad, your follow-ups are very low damage, and your opponent will be barrier blocking you anyway because you're Amane. However it can be good for combos since it has high base damage and can start a juggle from close normal hit 3C.

A command jump that gives Amane the much needed additional mobility, often called Hop. Here are its basic mechanics:
- Directional input controls the hop's direction (236 = forward, 214 = back) and the button pressed affects the angle (A = short, B = long)
- Can be done once on the ground and once in the air; Zettou uses are restored after landing (eg. whiffing a j.2B)
- Using Zettou does not consume universal air movement options; combine with double jump or airdash for extra mobility
- Cancels into all jump normals and specials (eg. does not directly cancel into double jump, airdash, or block) after a certain amount of time depending on which versions is used.
Zettou is a cornerstone of Amane pressure and neutral, serving as a risky, but strong pressure reset, and a longjump to float around the opponent with. Has great synergy with your massive air buttons, and especially j.2B, which gets you to the ground quickly to restore your Zettou uses. Is commonly seen in pressure after C normals or 5D, mixed up between its backwards variation and your other frametrap tools to keep opponents hesitant to mash and anti-air you. Has uses in combos between C normals to reposition during their long hitstun.

New addition in CF, and a very versatile one. Amane sends out a hurricane projectile that travels along the ground, slows to a stop, then disappears.
Your main combo ender midscreen, setting up for Amane's main techtrap situation with an immediate 2C, however it launches for a true extension in the corner, or if spaced to be meaty. The move has a lot of active frames and large pushback, so its -8 often might not apply. Your cancel window into the move is very long, allowing for variations in your pressure applications between a true ender and frametrap with good reward on counterhit in the form of a full pickup with C normals. When spaced and timed to be properly meaty, a good oki tool for situations where you need your projectile out quick, thanks to its fast startup, at least compared to Hariken, however the reward is also comparatively lower, both in damage and frame advantage. Also catches forward rolls in these situations, which leaves it as a generally safer setplay alternative to stance oki.

The move has 3 parts: first Amane assumes a stance where he charges Spiral level and gains guard point against projectiles. From here you can either summon a ground drill in one of three positions with a stomp (with a hitbox of its own) depending on input, or cancel the stance quickly. On block, the drills do multiple hits, while on hit they do one hit that launches the opponent, these properties are enhanced by drill level, but the drills also disappear if overheated.
One of your main oki, pressure, and combo tools. B and A drills are often used as combo extenders from 6C(1) to pick up after, or as "enders" to combo into 6D for max drill level by RC'ing the stomp attack and catching the opponent launched off the drill. The drill itself without stomp is also one of your best starters, while stomp into drill is also up there with it. Oki applications are pretty simple: simply do this move afte corner enders, and the stomp will check for rolls while the drill provides frame advantage, and drills cannot advance past the corner, so choosing which drill to use is simple. Just remember that quick, long-range reversals can counter this without proper precautions. The multiple hits on block only activate once the opponent has begun blocking, and all of them will always come through, so frame advantage is variable, although the opponent boocking this is basically always a pressure reset. On higher levels, both the frame advantage and the barrier drain/chip damage become threateningly high, leading to very scary, unrollable corner oki on Amane's already massive damage level 2 and 3 combos.
The fastest possible stance cancel takes 19 frames. This can be used in combos for specific extensions, useful for fully controlling your sideswitches. Amane can cancel most of his normals into this to make them safer (or, in the case of Level 3 5D, very slightly plus). Considering every other pressure option Amane has, people simply won't always be expecting this despite not really giving you true plus frames. Considering a common reaction to Hariken drill is jump forward and punish, this can also be used to psych out the opponent and get them into a position where they can get anti-aired, the same applies in baiting reversals on oki if you aren't spaced out. The cancel itself is also used when briefly using the Stance in neutral to passively gain drill meter, going in-and-out of Hariken to be ready for potential approaches.

Horizontal spin attack. Ends your combo midscreen, but wallbounces in the corner, allowing for followups on airborne opponents. Generally not a very useful attack, as Ginga is safer and more rewarding as a frametrap due to Raibu's consistent IB timing and positioning on block, but it does do good damage and sets up for a decent tech trap situation midscreen, as well as serve as an optimal ender in some combos. Can also be RC'd to close a gap and reset pressure, or combo from it midscreen.

Mostly used as a knockdown from air combos as it's unsafe otherwise. Can be rapid canceled into 2C for a combo extension. If done near the corner while the opponent is relatively high to you - usually after j2C - you can actually link 2B after it recovers for a combo extension.
If you have 50 meter, consider chimping out with it in neutral as it's really fast and will be either safe or give you a combo.
- Active frames continue until landing.
- Amane will turn around if he lands behind the opponent for the last hit.

Only invincible reversal outside of Overdrive and EA. Amane lunges forward with a kick and plays out a unique animation on hit, with a different effect based on Spiral level, leading to combos from levels 2 and 3, or any level in OD. After the hit animation is over, overheats drill and resets to level 1. If blocked, the number of hits increase, but still leave it highly punishable, although on level 3 Spiral, the chip damage and barrier drain are not half bad. If whiffed (i.e. opponent jumped over it), Amane will travel a long distance that makes it hard to punish.
- Base Damage is 800*8 on block, on hit it is as listed above
- 1st hit forces opponent into standing on hit
- Curiously, clashing with the super activates its several blocked hits, all of which result to the full hit effect if they land, causing it to beat out most moves it could even clash with.
Important Note: If you rapid cancel this super frame 1 then it will not overheat your gauge, letting you combo into 6D for instant level 3. Holding down the rapid cancel buttons just before the super finishes will repeat the input for 4 frames and make this significantly easier to execute.
Depending on the drill level and resources available, different followups are possible.
Level 1
- Rapid cancel to follow up with a move of your choice.
- In OD: 3C or 5B(1) to pick up
Level 2
- Follow up with 3C, or microdash 2B, 5B
Level 3
- Followup-able with almost every button at your disposal, excluding ones requiring Spiral to be out of Overheat.

Amane summons a travelling line of drills from the ground.
The normal version spawns evenly spaced drills every 8 frames after the first. The Overdrive version spawns drills every 6 frames, with the drills spawning proportionately closer together. Each drill hits every 3 frames up to 9 times.
Excellent super to get some easy damage regardless your drill level. It also makes combos easily burst safe from 6C for equivalent damage as a regular combo.

Amane attacks the opponent with his cloth. Has a slightly bigger horizontal range than 5B. Mostly standard EA that sideswitches, but it's important to always consider your remaining OD timer before throwing it out, since ending it that way could result in less total Spiral Meter.
