Introduction

Street Fighter EX has a lot of Shotos in it, huh?

Anyway, EXA Kairi is a cute little headswap with a fireball, uppercut, and a gameplan you've seen before. He sports some unique buttons, strong jump starters, launching confirms, and a few tricky mixups.

Kairi leverages his one-bar Raging Demon and bugged K Throw to run a truly mean mixup game. While EX1's other shotos are staggering sub-par frametraps and zoning, Kairi plays active, agressive, and angry.

The Basics

Kairi K Throw gives him a free OTG sweep or a similar normal. On big characters he can restand the opponent for a confirm. This glitch means Kairi inherits the most damaging normal throws in the game save for Dictator or the Cycloids.
In mixup situations, Kairi should OS 6MK hopkick/throw to low crush crouch tech. P Throw, then, is practically worthless. Hopkick confirms into both Kairi's air supers. Very strong.
Tick demon is criminally underrated. EXA's DHC rules mean Kairi can cancel to demon from divekick or launcher super on block. Nobody ever expects this.
6MK being airborne means Kairi lacks the meterless tick demon Akuma can abuse, but demon being one bar gives you plenty of opportunities to sneak it into your strings.
