Health: 11,500

Combo Rate: 65%

Jump Startup: 4

Backdash Time: 25

Backdash Invincibility: 1~7

Movement Options
Double Jump, 1 Airdash, Dash type: Run
Drive: Black Gale
Kagura's drive allows him to enter three different stances. Each stance comes with its own set of unique moves that can be chained together once consecutively (5Dx>2Dx>6Dx), once a stance is used in a D chain, it cannot be used until coming out of stance (5Dx>2Dx>5Dx does not work).
Overdrive: Infinite Coupling
  • Removes the limit on stance cancels in D attack strings
  • Can dash cancel all C and D attacks except for 3C and 5DB
  • 5DC launches upwards instead of behind
  • 6DC slides the opponent across the screen
  • 2DC causes untechable knockdown
  • [4]1236C gets a additional follow-up attack
  • 28D deal more hits and damages
Pros
Cons
  • Massive, sweeping normals
  • Very high average damage
  • Stance cancels provide tricky mixup and mind games
  • Almost all combos can end in fireball okizeme
  • Certain moves have super armor
  • Has one of the best reversals in the game
  • Very poor mobility
  • Fastest pokes have pitiful range
  • Is very heavily momentum based. He will either decisively steal a match, or get hopelessly blown up
  • Nearly all high damage combos must be in a corner
  • Has arguably the worst mid range game in the entire roster. Characters with strong footsies give him a very hard time
  • Struggles against fast mixup characters (Taokaka, Valkenhayn, etc...)

Specials

Dragon Spirit

[4]~6A/B

Version Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul
A 450,450 - All 19 64 Total 36 +4 BP* -
B 550×N (Short) 400×N(Long) - All 40 - Total 54 +7 (Short) BP* -

Dissipates rapidly after Kagura is hit. You can use the projectile as an okizeme tool, the B version starts as the A version, but the further it travels, the more hits it gets (Min 2, Max 5). Has Vacuum effect, which is negated if the opponent IB barriers. Grants small frame advantage on A version, massive frame advantage on B version if it travles far enough. Can be used for both: a combo extender and for okizeme.

  • 45F charge
  • A version starts up faster and goes half-stage. B version takes longer to start up and moves slower initially, but rapidly accelerates and goes all the way across the stage, but number of hits varies per distance traveled (From 2 to 5)
  • Both have SMP, but it is not shared

Dragon's Ascent

[2]~8B/C

Version Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul
B (1)700 (2-3)350 R HL 9 - - -13 (-26) B 1-17 Head Inv.
C (1)1000 (2-6)300 R HL 13 2(3)2×5 49 -40 B 1-27

Uppercut, B version has only head invuln and must be barrier blocked in the air, while C version is completely invuln but can be regular blocked in the air. Damage scales well in combos. B version knocks the opponent very far away, in the corner on counter hit can comboed from, and is also safe on air block in most situations. C version launches them directly up, and is untechable untill knockdown on CH. Incredibly unsafe on block.

  • 45F charge
  • B version is anti-air, C version is reversal

Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul
Death - All 7+15 5 40 -24 B 1-32

Kagura attacks the opponent with two slashes as black and purple lightning courses around his sword.

Incredibly easy to combo into from moves such as 3C, and just about any stance move, most notably 2DC.
