Zinsuke creates a circular wall that defends him from opponents will counterhit anything and everything, DO NOT f*** with the wall A version : standard fast attack B version : completely harmeless for a few moments before being active C version : Launches on hit but the recovery is too long to combo from it Button determines active frames and startup EX version dramatically reduces recovery, allowing for combos

Great DP. Who needs I-frames when your entire body and the surrounding atmosphise is a hitbox? Zinsuke Leaps into the air, more horozontally than vertically, as he is covered by his slicing sword. knocks down EX version is longer and faster

Zinsuke unsheathes his katana and does a (badass) vertical slice, with angle depending on the button used very fast and can be used to end both blockstrings and combos EX version makes him do all 3 versions at once very fast, which will combo into eachother

Zinsuke dashes then attacks with his katana button determines the length of the dash still unexplored currently EX version makes the hit a V.launcher, except you can't combo into or out of this, so it's just a waste of meter

Zinsuke does a light slash with a faint outline at about 45 degrees upwards, reaching across most of the screen. If it hits, the opponent is frozen in place for a moment, then Zinsuke does a much more powerful slash along the same path. It is possible to hit the opponent with the first and then miss with the second, but it happens extremely rarely.
