In-depth Analysis

Best Striker of game.

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

That's why she's considered like best striker in this game.

When she's playable, she's Mid-tier

Qualities :

• various counter moves
• Pretty good mixup
• Her qcf.a (gets an air to built meter,
• Her counter dm do a lot of damages
• Her Chou Hasane Ate Super covers the entire screen (can surprise when opponent's jumping)

Faults :

• Hard to play cause must mind opponent well to use her counter moves
• Her Chou Hasane Ate Super just gets same damage of j.cd thus not powerful (however powerful in sdm)
• No safe normal attacks and bad reach
