Move List

Normal moves

2A Jump cancelable chop. Reflects projectiles downwards.

5A Can be jump canceled. Technically Kira's fastest ground normal, but tends to hit in the later active frames against most crouching characters.

2B Air unblockable uppercut. Can be super jump canceled. Reflects projectiles straight up. Despite its appearance it can't be used for anti-airs in most situations due to its large hurtbox.

5B Causes ground bounce. Upper-body clash in the middle of startup. Holding the button cancels the attack for a fake-out.

2C Kira's only low attack. Huge range.

5C Full-body clash from frame 1, does not last through the full startup. Some low attacks may go under the clash hitbox. Air unblockable.

6C Air unblockable rushing kick. Has some full-body clash frames in the middle of startup. Launches the opponent towards the opposite wall on hit.

2E Short full-body clash on startup. Reflects projectiles diagonally upwards. Fairly big vertical range, especially when fully charged. While difficult due to its slow speed, it's occasionally possible to use it as an anti-air.

5E Giant dropkick. Has full-body clash frames in the middle of its long startup. Large recovery on whiff.

JA Kira's only jump cancelable air normal.

JB Similar clash properties to 5B, launches the opponent towards the ground.

JC Has clash properties from frame 1, similar to 5C.

JE Body press with a wide hitbox and unclashable property. Premier move to use for crossups on opponents below Kira.

Flying Armageddon 「フライングアルマゲドン」 - J6321463214A+B Aerial super command grab. Causes a hard knockdown. Its 1f startup makes it one of Kira's most threatening options against airborne opponents.

Critical Heart

Last Armageddon Drop 「ラストアルマゲドンドロップ」 - [1080]A+B Similar properties compared to her 720 command grab, but far greater damage.
