• 2L - A long-range low that allows for super dashing in the corners.
• 5M - minus 2 on block and good range to boot.
• 2M - Like it 5M, great range.
• 5S - You might not be able to rapid-fire this Ki-Blast, but it can string into other moves easily by way of frame trapping.
• j.L - A good jump-in with a good angle and followups.
