Strengths

Weaknesses

Tied best striker of the game: Although Clark is often picked due to being much easier to use, Kasumi serves the same function. While harder to use, she has a great hitbox on incoming to easily interrupt opponents. Even if she whiffs, her taunt drains up to nearly an entire bar of meter. Various counter moves Pretty good mixup qcf A is a good projectile, builds meter, and can be used in the air High damage counter DM Her Chou Kasane Ate Super covers the entire screen SDM Chou Kasane Ate does high damge

Hard to play, needing to use counters and game knowledge to play well Her Chou Hasane Ate Super is equal to j.CD in damage No safe normal attacks Poor reach

In-depth Analysis

The best striker of the game.

With striker Kasumi, you can interrupt jumps and rushs, steal meter, knockdown the opponent, corner carry and combo with DM / SDM moves. She's a multipurpose striker so.

That's why she's considered as best striker in this game, even if there're less possibilities of deadly combos with striker Kasumi compared to striker Clark. The range of striker kasumi's attack is shorter compared to the attack of striker Clark also.

She's mid-tier when she's playable.
