Ibuki
Being trained as a ninja since childhood, Ibuki secretly wishes nothing more than to escape the life she has lived for as long as she can remember and become a "normal" teenage girl in Japan. Although she excels in her training and has become an effective hand-to-hand combatant, as well as an expert at the throwing knife, Ibuki does not enjoy being part of the hidden clan. And as her high school years draw to an end, she is hoping to escape the life of a ninja permanently and become a regular college girl living a regular college life.
In a nutshell
One thing that makes Ibuki so unique is her mobility. From her command dash to High Jumps, Ibuki definitely has ways to continually run circles around the opponent. And everything she has can lead into an untechable Neck Breaker thanks to her myriad of Target Combos and links. And once she gets that untechable knock down, it's time for her Kunai traps. Oftentimes, Ibukis can win entire rounds from one knock down, and keep the opponent guessing which side to block. However, relying on that trap is a mistake: she's definitely a finesse character and, without learning many of her fundamentals, your opportunities for Kunai traps may never arise.

AE Changes
- Standing Light Kick has a 4 frame start-up, so it'll be easier to utilize as a weak attack.
- Standing Medium Kick got changed to have a 5 frame start-up so it's possible to use it as the starting point of combos.
- Kunai's (Dagger Toss) damage was decreased.
- Neck Breaker had damage and stun nerf.
- Jump back Kunai's trajectory has been changed to nearly straight vertical-wise.
- A Crouching Hard Kick into Standing Hard Kick Target Combo was added. It works in the same way as the later part of her Target Combo 6.
- Her Jump Flip (Tsuijigoe) would register as a counter hit when she was hit out of it, so this was fixed.
