Move List
Damage | Guard | Startup | Active | Recovery | Frame Adv |

A turning low kick. It looks like an obvious standing low, but this is still a mid strike. No links or chains but the range is silly for a 5LK. |

A two hit strike combination. The range on the second hit is good, but it takes significant time starting up. Is special cancelable so you can convert off either hit. |

A roundhouse kick that covers tons of space and, most most importantly, is active for approximately 4 years. Like most attacks bound to Saki's HK button, it rules. |

A midrange elbow strike, looks like it should hit overhead but is just a mid. |
Special Moves
Guard Cancels

Uses Saki's 6LP. Not particularly useful, thanks to its poor range. |
Damage | Guard | Startup | Active | Recovery | Frame Adv |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Uses Saki's cl.HK. Not a terrible idea thanks to its high reward on hit, but Saki generally has better guard cancels to be using. |
Damage | Guard | Startup | Active | Recovery | Frame Adv |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Uses Saki's LP Ren. Incredibly useful, since it's a command grab with no whiff animation. This means that you'll get an instant command grab when in range, and when guard cancelling from outside Ren's range, Saki will simply maintain her blocking animation while becoming briefly invincible. This can potentially lead to larger punishes that make up for the meter spent on the guard cancel. |

Uses Saki's LP Sen. Pretty much completely outclassed by her HP guard cancel for the reasons outlined above. |
Super Moves

Mid | - | - | - | ||
Saki jumps into the air before throwing out a massive pillar of fire a few steps in front of her. This super can also be performed in the air, where it becomes significantly faster on startup. The pillar is air-unblockable and deals a ton of damage, so while this super isn't used as often as Mizuchi, it's still useful in certain juggle combos as well as the occasional anti-air. |

Mid | - | - | - | ||
A flipkick that leads into a devastating follow up hit. The final hit of this super deals fixed damage, and is the primary reason why Saki's damage is as high as it is. Only used in combos, but is incredible for that purpose. |
