Your main poke. Fast, cancelable. Some people think this move is god, but I think it is a little overrated. Still, it is the central attack to combo into things, poke, anti-air against some things, etc. Very similar to Chris's cr., but better.

Very good hitbox on this, though it doesn't stay out for long. You won't see it used much, but I think it's worth noting.

Your main jumping attack. Really crazy hitbox, beats so much as long as it's done early enough. It does have less hit freeze than normal jumping attacks, so it will take some time to get use to combing off this as a jump-in. Get this down, beause this move is much better than jumping .

Reasonably fast overhead when done alone. It is punishable on hit if you don't cancel it, so be cautious using it as an overhead (maybe only to finish someone off).
Faster, cancelable, and non-overhead when chained. Good combo filler of course, and it has good range as well.

Breakable, forward knockdown, face forward, rollable.
Although they are breakable, both of Chizuru's throws don't have the blue grab 'effect' or the sound cue, which makes them a little harder to break on reaction. throw is preferred technically, since you recover much faster. Otherwise, just use the direction which would benefit your position the most.

212 Katsu Shinsoku no Noroti (Ritz Upper)- version will return you to your starting point, while will leave you wherever you stopped when the move recovers. You can control how far this travels by pressing again quickly after + . This is your main poking/meter building/zoning/combo tool. You can use it to punish whiffs, catch early jumps from range, etc. While the move is great, it can also be difficult to use, because a lot of nice pokes can beat the shit out of it and cause a counter-hit. Think of it like Dhalsim's limbs; you can do them at any time really, but you are always risking being hit by a DP, a fireball, or certain normals. The version can be used on wakeup to cross over the body of your opponent for wakeup cross-up games.
When the first part is blocked close, you can keep pressuring from there with cr. or cr. canceled into slide, another + / + , whatever. Remember that you can threaten people that want to hit something fast afterwards with the + followup (though it is unsafe on block). Be creative.

212 Katsu Shinsoku no Noroti (Ritz Swipe)- + will perform a downward slam move, forcing the opponent into a un-rollable knockdown. Refer to Ritz Upper info for usage, as this move works exactly the same, except with kick buttons. This move is much slower than Ritz Upper and won't combo from anything, but it can avoid some pokes that Ritz Upper can't because of it's smaller vulnerable hitbox.

202 Katsu Otsu Shiki Choumon no Isshin (Ritz Jump)- Lights go close, hards go far. Punches return you to the starting position, kicks leave you where you travel to. This move isn't overhead, but it can jump over lows. You will probably not be using this much, but there it is.

Ichimen Ikkatsu San Rai no Fui Jin (Seal Strike)- version is preferred as it comes out way faster and combos from stuff, including light attacks. When it hits, it does quite a chunk of damage, and limits the opponent's attacks to normals and normal throws only (not even command normals are allowed). They can still perform counters or guard cancel rolls. Since this super is pretty fast, you can use it to punish some semi-laggy moves on block (incompleted Iori rekkas), or punish some whiffs. Lasts for about 10 seconds on the clock. MAX version is always slow and useless.

Ichimen 85 Katsu Reigi no Ishizue (Windmill Clones)- Invincibility on startup, though it can trade. It can blow through counters when canceled from the move that got countered. This is yet another big part of why Chizuru is so powerful. When it gets blocked, you can mixup by using cr. and forward jump/hop as an instant overhead. Another good mixup is short hop ~land cr.. Because of jumping 's small hit freeze, this can be confusing to block with the clones concealing everything. This is especially nasty if your opponent has no meter to counter or guard cancel roll out. After it hits, refer to the combo section. When this connects in the corner, try doing fast moves until the clones are almost off-screen and then combo into a knockdown with cr..
This move can be hit easily after startup (which causes you to get hit on counter no mater where you are), so use it in a controlled, close situation only. Note that while it's active, you can only perform normal attacks. No command normals, throws, specials, supers, etc. It's good to cancel into from a cl. especially from a wakeup cross-up with + > . MAX version lasts longer.
