DMs
qcfx2+	1+6+0~183+10/2+11/28	KD/-23		HL				Heat Drive - qcfx2+P A version comes out faster, but C version will hit if the opponent is right in front of you Can be held to make unblockable (takes a long time though) Hard knockdown

qcb+~	3+9/10/9+14	KD/KD		-				Crimson Star Road - qcb+C~A A must be pressed immediately after C K' travels forward a distance slighty more than his roll Unblockable

Notes

• 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
• Ein Trigger (qcf+P) and its followups have unique blockstun. qcf+A has 20 frames, qcf+C has 19; both strengths of Second Shot (f+B) do 26 frames while both strengths of Second Shell (f+D) do 30 frames.

Safejumps

K' has a safejump against Ryo and Kim in the corner off the standard corner combo:
