T.O.P. Notes

Kain's top move travels forward, covering a fair amount of distance and is good for one hit that knocks down your opponent. Besides doing a super, this is one of the most damaging moves you can finish a combo with.

Overall Strategy

Kain can be both a keep away or rushdown character, most people prefer his keep away style the most. Since Kain has the right tools to keep opponents guessing with both of his angled and horizontal projectiles. Also his qcfX2 + A/C is a great anti-air, even while your getting hit it usually ends up trading with the opponent whatever move they tried to do. If you want to rush with him you'll have to learn how to use the charge tricks, that make Kain seem like he never needs to charge. Another thing with Kain is to learn what pokes beat what as well like all other characters. Kain has some great pokes from his stand A/B, even his stand D is a somewhat decent distant poke but has some recovery behind it. Just don't use it a lot and up close or you'll end up eating a super. Also use his d + AB into stand C on wake-up situations since, it beats most wake-up specials and even sometimes supers if timed correctly. Kains AB low dodge attack is a great wake-up move as well since sometimes its hard to see when he'll do it and it hits twice. If you do it just right on wake-up it leaves Kain pretty much safe from anything after it. Learn to break with his charge down, up + B/D consistantly as this is one of his main combo starters. It also helps you gain super meter when you might need more meter in certain situation. It's also a great poke as it beats most other specials and supers as well at times.
