Summary

Having two forms, numerous super-cancel points and directional inputs, "Copy-cat ninja" Kakashi can be one of the more intricate characters in the game to play. While his base form is somewhat slow and limited, Sharingan grants access to several exceptional buttons, one of the most damaging supers in the game, and Sharingan cancels. Kakashi's high damage output, varied options, and HP can truly make him feel like a Jounin in a game full of Genin.

Notes

Extra Super Cancels: Kakashi has numerous unique super cancel points in his strings described in the string list section, much more than most other characters.

Sharingan Cancel: When in mode, you cancel perform a Sharingan Cancel by pressing which will cancel all recovery frames and return you to base form.

Strategy

Kakashi should enter Sharingan mode whenever he has a chance, most often after scoring a knockdown, since it gives him access to several of his best moves as well as Sharingan cancels. While attacking the opponent's guard in Sharingan mode, every super-cancel point becomes a mix-up as Kakashi can either continue his string or disable Sharingan, allowing him to either start a new block string or attempt a throw.
