Movelist

Command Normals
1. One Inch - f+A Counterwire Hard knockdown Cancellable to DMs, cancellable to special moves if cancelled into Free cancellable out of
2. Knee Assault - f+B Overhead Cancellable if cancelled into Free cancellable out of Has a frame disadvantage even if it hits the opponent
Special Moves
1. The Trigger - qcf+P qcf+C comes out faster than qcf+A, but recovers slower Negates normal projectiles Can be followed up by Second Shot (f+B) or Second Shell (f+D) There exists a bug where, if K' did his qcf+P on a waking up K9999, who decided to do his db hcb df+P moon DM, the moon DM will be negated entirely by the qcf+P. K9999's sphere animation will still be visible but since it was negated, K' can now just walk right through it
1a. Second Shot - f + B (after The Trigger) Projectile that moves faster if qcf+C was used than if qcf+A was used
1b. Second Shell - f + D (after The Trigger) Vertical anti-air that knocks opponent into the air for juggles
2. Crow Bites - dp+P dp+A is supercancellable on both hits, dp+C is supercancellable on the first two hits on the ground dp+C can be followed up by f+D, which is an overhead hard knockdown. The f+D followup is free cancellable out of dp+C has some startup invincibility Free cancellable into Free cancellable out of on all hits
	f+
3. Blackout - qcf+K Teleport's K' forward. qcf+B goes half screen length and qcf+D goes full screen length Can be hit out of it fairly easily
6. Assassin Strike "Code: BB" - dp+P/K Whip throws her whip into the air, pulls herself up off the screen, and comes down the location of where she falls is determined by the button used. A makes her drop almost exactly where she started from, B makes her land about a quarter screen from her current location, C makes her go another quarter screen, and D almost full screen it is possible to crossup the opponent with this move. However, it has such horrible recovery time that it shouldn't ever be used hard knockdown on the last hit when she comes down free cancellable out of into qcb+P(air) when she comes down this move can OTG against some characters after throwing them with her b/f+D, such as Yashiro, Mary, May Lee and Kula
7. Desert Eagle - rdp+P, tap P rapidly Whip takes out her gun and shoots at the ground. rdp+C shoots further than rdp+A hits low this move has the ability to hit an opponent on the ground. It is best used after a throw. rdp+C might miss after a throw, so use rdp+A instead Whip starts with a random number of bullets in her gun, up to a maximum of 7. When she has wasted all of her bullets, she will reload on her next use of the move, resulting in very long recovery time it is possible to combo with this move multiple times, by tapping P. It's fairly risky to do this though since you can easily run out of bullets, getting yourself killed when she starts to reload her gun
DMs
1. Sonic Slaughter "Code: KW" Whip goes into a stance at startup. If the opponent was in the vicinity of that stance, they will be sucked into a series of whip lashes that knocks the opponent away the startup of this move is completely invincible, making for one of the best anti-airs in the game if the first hit of qcb hcf+P misses, the other hits do no damage and do not suck the opponent into the DM. This means that if she does do the DM and it whiffs on the first hit, the opponent can fearlessly run into her while she's still swinging her whip, without getting hurt and punish her badly
SDMs
1. Sonic Slaughter "Code: KW" same properties as the DM version, but more damage
HSDMs
1. Super Black Hawk - b B C b C Whip pulls out her gun, yells "Game over" and fires it the gunshot is unblockable and goes full screen length. It can be rolled, or jumped she is invincible during the entire move, except to throw if you run up right beside her, the gunshot will whiff
