Normals

---

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
-	Mid		-	-	-
A quick backfist strike that is an awesome button. Good speed and range. Chains to: > > > > Any part of the chain may be omitted, HP/HK may be swapped

---

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
-	Mid		-	-	-
A low-looking shin kick, still a mid but it easily links into itself multiple times and can special cancel, meaning you can get Gokuensho as an ender. Chains to:

---

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
-	Mid	5	-	-	-
The button of all time. Satomi lets loose a killer poke with only 5f of start-up. Outside of some interactions where it can be low-profiled, this button can strike fear into the opponent with it's speed and range. Not only that, but because it's also her dashing attack she can give this bad boy crazy momentum by doing the dashing version. 5HP is one of the strongest single buttons in the game and enables Satomi to out footsie most characters without breaking a sweat. Chains to:

---

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
-	Mid		-	-+1	-
An inside spinning roundhouse that could have used some additional frames of animation to get that across. While it does special cancel, its range is inferior to 5HP. However once inside the oppoenent's range this becomes more useful as it is +1 on block.

---

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
-	Mid		-	-	-
A quick elbow jab, the range is stubby but it has awesome chain routes. Chains to: () > >

---

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
-	Low		-	-	-
No links, no chains, but with the threat of a Gokuensho overhead it doesn't necessarily need it. Because of how fast Gokuensho is, 2LK can just pressure them to block low or if they really want to block Gokuensho, allow her to get free 2LKs in.

---

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
-	Mid		-	-	-
The button of all time's little brother. While not quite as good as 5HP, 2HP has the advantage of not being about to be low-profiled. Because of this Satomi can switch between the two depending on her needs to bully the opponent at range.

---

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
-	Low		-	-	-
A sweep that actually juggles, so you can score some extra damage off of it.

---

j.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
-	High		-	-	-
A small karate chop, its downward hitbox is actually quite good and it can cross up. Chains to: j. / j.

---

j.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
-	High		-	-	-
Satomi's best ranged air normal, it's got the biggest hitbox and controls space quite nicely. Chains to: j. / j.

---

j.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
-	High		-	-	-
A fierce downward punch. Not particularly special, but good as a jump-in tool.

---

j.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
-	High		-	-	-
You would like to believe this kick has a good hitbox, but it actually has less range than 2LK. Really a bit of a shame.

---

Command Normals

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
-	Mid		-	-	-
A command launcher. It could probably do as an anti-air in a pinch, but this is Satomi we are talking about, she has much better AA options.

---

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
-	Low		-	-	-
Instantly gives her low-profile and has excellent range, meaning it can be a terror to deal with in neutral.

---

Special Moves

Kaenzan

Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
	-	Mid		-	-	-
Satomi hops upward, spinning her arms with accompanying flames. An incredible anti-air, not only is it useful in stopping air advances, but Satomi is considered airborne during her entire recovery. Now this does not necessarily stop her from being punished, but any opponent thinking they are going to get a grounded punish will have their combo whiff. Due note that this is strictly for anti-airing, this has almost no effectiveness as a reversal against grounded opponents.
	-	Mid		-	-	-
Satomi jumps a noticeable amount higher for the HP version.
+	-	Mid		-	-	-
Bar none the best anti-air in the game. The hitbox on EX Kaenzan is so big that it will even catch cross-up attempts. Not only that but anyone hit by EX Kaenzan will warp in front of Satomi, which is important because she can link a second EX Kaenzan afterwards. Always keep meter on deck for this, as it shuts down any aerial option the opponent has.

---

Gokuensho

Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
	-	High		-	-	-
A mad quick overhead, it does cause a knockdown so she cannot use it as a combo starter but mixing it with 2LK is a legitimate mixup when pressuring the opponent. You can threaten this with dash momentum by jump cancelling the dash and then special cancelling the jump; Dash into 2147 LK.
	-			-	-	-
LK is your mixup tool, but HK is slower and more damaging which means its best for combos.
+	-			-	-	-
A triple series of flame wheel kicks that comes out fast and recovers even faster on hit. You can link out of this as you are +6 on hit, giving you cr.LP/cr.LK/3H for standing opponents and cr.LK/Another EX Gokensho

---

Shinku Karatake Wari

Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
	-	High		-	-	-
Satomi leaps high, like REAL high in the air and comes down with a flaming chop. Practically useless because the start-up is monumental. You can directionally influence Satomi's trajectory in air with either left or right and after she lands you can hit HP for a non-combo follow-up flame swipe.
	-	High		-	-	-
Seriously, Satomi jumps off the screen in this version. It takes forever.
+	-			-	-	-
Satomi engulfs herself in flames on the way up, meaning she's an active hitbox before leaving the ground. This is an inherently much more useful version of Shinku Karatake Wari, but it's true power is hitting during a juggle. If you EX Shinku Karatake Wari after a launcher like 3HP Satomi deals way more damage while in the air if her body arcs where they are. This is very tricky to time correctly, but off the right juggle you can make bank.

Ouhou

Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
	-			-	-	-
Projectile reflector. A big help against the more zoning-heavy characters as Satomi doesn't really have any other tools to help against zoning. There is a strike attached to it but the range and damage are absolutely pitiful.
	-			-	-	-
With roughly the same startup and only slightly less pitiful damage, the HP version is fundamentally the same.

---

Guard Cancels

Guard Cancel

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
Uses Satomi's . Has the highest return of any of her guard cancels due to its chain routes, but it can be hampered by its short range.

---

Guard Cancel

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
Uses Satomi's . Less rewarding than the LP guard cancel, but slightly more reliable due to its range.

---

Guard Cancel

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
Uses Satomi's Gokuensho.

---

Guard Cancel

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
Uses Satomi's Kaenzan. Has the best hitbox of her guard cancels, but despite its invincibility, the guard cancel freeze frames make this option surprisingly slow, which hinders its reliability somewhat.

---

Super Moves

Hissatsu Kyokushinken

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
-			-	-	-
A dashing 2 bar ranbu super, deals awesome damage if done raw but with no fixed damage it will scale when in combos. Regardless, it is a useful way to cash out meter.
