===Important Moves===
'''5K:''' Super-Armored, delayable, standing overhead that grants you a full combo on hit.
'''j.K:''' A risky but good neutral tool, closes the gap but leaves you open to punish. Also an important move for many combos, due to the ability to link a j.L afterwards with good positioning.
'''j.G:''' Overpowering spacing tool. Controls massive ground space, can beat jump ins and lead into massive damage without much commitment. Can be beaten by dashing.
