Normals

Standing

5LP	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel Invuln Juggle 3 32 2 4 5 +4 +2 HL N - Reset Standard mashable jab. Prone to being low profiled, limiting its usefulness. Crouched by Wulong, Liza.

n.5LP	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel Invuln Juggle 3 32 2 4 5 +4 +2 HL Y - Reset Same as above, but the hitbox is slightly higher. Crouched by Kazuya, Barts (crouch blocks it), Gekkou, Wulong, Lihua, Liza, J. McCoy, Marco, Azteca. Max activation range is 66px

5MP	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel Invuln Juggle 10 64 4 4 8 +6 +4 HL N - Reset Fine ground poke, has good disjoint but pretty lame range. Crouched by Liza (crouch blocks it).

n.5MP	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel Invuln Juggle 10 32 2 2 14 +2 ±0 HL Y - Reset Kazuya does a sideways chop. Generally outclassed by n.5LK and n.5MK, but it might catch people jumping. Crouched by Gekkou, Wulong, Lihua, Liza, Marco. Max activation range is 77px

5HP	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel Invuln Juggle 14 128 4 8 16 -2 -4 HL N - Reset This has disjoint which is rare for a standing HP. Quick startup makes it a great anti-air for lower angles and a decent committal counter-poke. It can also be low profiled by some crouching pokes. Crouched by Wulong, Liza.

n.5HP

Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel Invuln Juggle 8+4(5) 128+32 6 2+8 12 +2 ±0 HL Y/N - Reset (x2) A 2-hit punch that's pretty outclassed by n.5MK (better frames and cancellable for ground use) and f.5HP (gives you a reset instead of a KD on anti-air). Chances are you should only see this on accident. Crouched by Wulong, Liza. Max activation range is 66px

5LK	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel Invuln Juggle 3 32 4 4 4 +5 +3 HL N - Reset Kazuya leans back and kicks, mashable and pretty disjoined. Rarely comes out to contact due to n.5LK's large activation range, which is the normal you want for combos/pressure.

n.5LK	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel Invuln Juggle 4 32 3 3 4 +6 +4 HL Y - Reset Kazuya does a knee that's chainable and stupid plus. Link it into 2MK xx Genroudan, and apply liberally in pressure. By far his best light and arguably his best button up close. Max activation range is 78px

5MK	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel Invuln Juggle 10 32 5 6 8 +4 +2 HL N - Reset Kazuya does a funny-looking kick. This is his farthest reaching disjointed normal, only outranged by 2MK and 2HK. It's not all too rewarding, though. Crouched by Liza (crouch blocks it).

n.5MK	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel Invuln Juggle 11 32 4 5 6 +7 +5 HL Y - Reset A good meaty and all-purpose close normal. It's more active and vertical than n.5LK with a somewhat shitty grab OS, all in return for not being self-chainable. Max activation range is 78px

5HK

Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel Invuln Juggle 15* 128 6 3/3 16 ±0 -2 HL N - Reset Your standard shoto standing HK. Can be used as an emergency anti-air - the more vertical close version helps with this. Don't even try to make this work as a poke. Usually won't hit for the first part, since n.5HK will activate, so it's usually +3/+1. Crouched by Kazuya, Barts (crouch blocks it), Gekkou, Wulong, Liza, Lihua, J. McCoy, Marco, Azteca.

n.5HK	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel Invuln Juggle 9+3(4) 128+32 5 6+2 15 +5 +3 HL N - Reset (x2) Kazuya does an axe kick, see above. No reason to press this vs a grounded opponent whatsoever. Crouched by Liza (crouch blocks it). Max activation range is 78px
