Introduction
A priest and magus who is the supervisor of the fifth Holy Grail War. Kirei is a rushdown character with an emphasis on counter hit fishing and strong okizime. Between a command grab, overhead, and solid lows, Kirei also has good mixup options. Kirei makes use of his black keys as a projectile to get in on and pressure the opponent.
Pros
- Amazing rushdown when opponent is at the wall
- High damage
- Strong projectile that can be used in many situations
- Normals have good range for a bare-handed fighter
Cons
- Black keys are limited to 10 per round
- Weak to pushblock midscreen
- A lot of his normals have high frame disadvantage on block

Kirei palm strikes his opponent in the face.
A fast normal that's useful in pressure with it only being -2 and can cancel into 2A on contact or whiff.
Used after forcing an opponent to block an air black key to feint the throw and go low with 2A. Also, is useful as an anti-jumpout.
Be aware that it will whiff on a crouching Sakura, Rin, Luvia, and Saber even after forcing them to block a move crouching though it will hit everyone crouching if they were in hitstun such as after an air black key hits them.
Can be low profiled.

Kirei steps forward and knees his opponent.
This attack is mainly combo filler and if you need to punish something with a move beefier than 2A. The problem with it as a confirm after 2A is that 5B will often whiff on crouching opponents especially anywhere but point blank.

Kirei crouches low and sweeps his opponent, knocking them off their feet. This goes very low and can often low profile others' attacks.
A tad more range than 2A. Decent poke. Low profiles on frame 1 so it's good against some common neutral tools such as Saber's 236X and Archer's 6B.

Kirei steps forward and gut punches his opponent.
Long range normal because of the step Kirei takes before performing it. It's good as a hitconfirm after 2A or 2B, though it is unsafe on block. Cancel into 214A, 2C, or black key to keep yourself safe.

Kirei shows off his flexibility and kicks his opponent into the air.
Mainly sees use in combos. Can be used after 5C to help keep it safe. Even though it's -6 it's still hard to punish this attack because of the amount of pushback it has on block.

Kirei rushes forward, prepared to strike with an overhead attack.
This attack may be kara cancelled into specials.
This attack cannot be cancelled into from other normals.
This attack is Kirei's only standing overhead. Hard to use however since he can't chain into it. Best used after a meaty air black key. Can be useful in neutral because you can cancel it during the startup. Essentially lets you do dashing specials more easily.

Kirei grabs his opponent before performing a hard knockdown that throws his opponent far away.
Kirei can combo off this in the corner. If you throw someone midscreen can dash up to meaty a normal or do a running jump into an air black key.

Kirei kicks his opponent into the air.
All versions knock the opponent off the ground.
A version can combo from anywhere thanks to jump cancel. B version can combo in the corner. C version requires meter to combo.
Startup on C version is invincible and it costs 30 meter to perform. As long as the last hit connects, you will drain 50 meter from your opponent.

Kirei's rekka works by having the first 2 hits be 2 of 3 options and the last hit being a unique ender. As a result, each of these rekka hits can cancel into each other once.
A version is a fast elbow that is neutral on block. It combos into B version.
B version is a heavy palm strike that combos into C version (important for ender).
C version knocks Kirei's opponent off their feet as long as it is not the first hit of your combo.It is very punishable on block, even if he cancels into an ender. As a combo starter it will combo into the A version.

Rekka 3 is the ender of Kirei's Rekka chain.
A version is a fast elbow that is plus on block and can continue into a combo vs an airborne opponent.
B version is a launcher that is comboable with jump cancel.
C version does not combo out of anything, but its startup has armor. Its use is primarily to punish your opponent for mashing 2A out of your rekka.

Kirei's command grab. Kirei will jump into the air before grabbing his opponent. How far he travels will depend on how heavy the button he used was (heavier buttons go further).
All versions may be used as a combo starter, but comboing out of the A version is incredible difficult.

Kirei performs a series of unarmed strikes followed by a powerful gandr shot that pushes his opponent very far away. This super hard to punish after the gandr shot, but there is a gap in the pressure right before the gandr, so your opponent can perform a reversal to punish you.
This costs 100 meter.

Kirei summons dark energy to swirl around him. This attack hits in front, above and behind Kirei and is invincible on startup. It is arguably the best reversal super in the game.
This costs 100 meter

Kirei coils dark energy around his arm before rushing forward with a command grab.
This attack always does 4000 damage regardless of scaling. It can only be performed after filling the holy grail and activating with 300 meter..
This reduces your meter to 0.
