Introduction

Kanji found out about the Matrimelee tournament through Kintaro Kokuin, who told him that many other relatives were invited to it. Kanji was surprised at not receiving an invitation and later found out the prize for the winner was to earn the hand of a young princess. Kanji wanted a bride and grew impatient as the tournament was approaching so he stole an invite from another fighter.

Overview

Strengths

Weaknesses

Best Stress Shot super that's air unblockable and has a lot of start-up frames. Very versatile super. good options for chip kills using EX Flash Cane. Good throw. Keeps the opponent in Kanji's comfort zone. EX flash cane can be linked into Stress Shot. Excellent corner carry using dash punch and EX Flash Cane. Safe on block and can lead to a throw option select. Easy, damaging basic combos. Can easily can go for a hard knockdown to end combos with. 63214.A/C absorbs other projectiles. Damaging Ippatsu Ougi to end combos with.

Has few low starters that can lead to advanced combos. 2.B needs to be point-blank for 2.B > B> 5.D chain to hit 6.A cane stance is really slow and its follow-ups cannot be canceled. Getting hit out of 6.A cane stance immediately puts Kanji in a juggle. His Ippatsu Ougi has few practical uses due to long startup and multiple button input. Kanji's 63214.A/C is a terrible DP with no start-up invincibility frames. Short range 5.CD and 2.CD.

Strategy

Use dash C > EX flash cane whenever your opponent is in a corner or you are about to get rage explosion. Jumping D (or jumping C if the opponent has long air pokes) for air-to-air. Can end pressure strings on 41236B/D pretty safely but some characters can punish it. If your opponent is throwing projectiles at you, your 63214.A will absorb most of them.
