 |description= Hopping sobat kick. Can hop over lows attacks and low fireballs like Iori's fireball. Interestingly enough, Benimaru is not considered to be in the air for this move, so if you hit him out of it, you'll be able to do your grounded punishes. EX Benimaru can't steer his Sobats like Normal Benimaru could.

 |description= Benimaru steps forward and kicks his opponent. How far he steps forward...depends on which side Benimaru is. Left side travels further than the right side.

Glitch aside, this move is probably his longest-range poke considering he travels forward. Unlike in KOF, you can't cancel into or out of this move.
 }}

=== Throws ===

It's worth noting beforehand if you're coming from KOF that his throws are swapped around. His C throw in KOF is his HK throw in CvS1, and his D throw in KOF is his HP throw in CvS1.

 |description= Benimaru picks his opponent up and knees 'em in the face. Like all HK throws, this has a slightly longer startup, but more damaging than his HP throw. In the corner, can combo into a Lv. 3 Raikou Ken or Taikuu Raikou Ken.

 |description= Benimaru shoots an electic spark from his hand. Both versions do one hit. Light has faster startup, heavy does more damage, and has a bigger range, allowing it to hit crouchers who could crouch under the Light version. 

Heavy version cannot be charged like Normal Benimaru's does, but it does more damage to make up for it, making it a better option overall.

 |description= Anti-air version of his Raijin Ken, where Benimaru aims his spark diagonally upwards. Both versions do about the same amount of damage as a heavy grounded Raijin Ken. Aimed upwards for anti-air purposes, this will whiff on most, if not all crouchers; as well as many smaller characters standing like Yuri.

 |description= Benimaru does a lightning-fast knee that hits the opponent. His fastest special, this is his only special that can combo from light attacks. Damage is identical between versions, so there's little difference on which move you do. Unlike later games, you can't follow it up with the Handou Sandan Geri.

 |description= Benimaru does a spinning kick on his sides. Light version has him do 3 spins, Heavy version does 6. Compared to N.Benimaru's version of this move, EX Benimaru's version now only knocks down on the final hit, and the opponent is no longer sent careening over to the other side of the screen; giving Benimaru a knockdown that doesn't have him swap sides. However, N.Benimaru's amazing chip damage is not present in EX Benimaru's version; only the final hit of the move does chip damage, and at a much lower damage value. You can't cancel this move midway as well.

 |description= A super version of Benimaru's Raijin Ken, shooting a bigger spark from his hand that does more hits and more damage. Level 1 version does 5 hits, Level 2 does 7 and Level 3 does 10. Has a slight amount of startup frames, even on his Lv. 3 version, but the Raikouken is generally big enough that it can work as an anti-air or something. If Benimaru gets hit, the Raikouken ends as well. Only the Lv. 3 version has any real invincibility on startup, and even then you could probably do a well timed trade to stuff it or something. This can combo from sweeps, anti-air resets and his HK throw (in the corner)

 |description= A super version of his Benimaru Collider Special. Command grab with further range than the move it's based off.

By far and away his biggest damaging super, even compared to N.Benimaru's supers. The Level 1 version of Electrigger does slightly more damage than a Level 2 Raikou Ken or Denei Spark (and same thing for the Level 2 version of Electrigger compared to the Level 3 versions of his other supers!) It doesn't have the easy combo potential of Denei Spark, you can't combo into it like you could in KOF...but it's damaging enough that an opponent can be wary of getting too close to a metered Benimaru.
