His signature move, a fast slash that covers 3 quarters of the screen. Upon successful hit, the opponent will bounce off the wall and fall right in front of Sogetsu, make it a perfect situation for wake up offense. It's airborne during the start up frames, and it beats weapon deflect. It's also great for whiff punish and chasing backdash and anti-air. The only downside is that it doesn't recoil and very punishable on block.

Fast low attack with good damage and very long reach, recoil cancel into 214S to make it -20 on block, which is very safe from far distance. However it would get heavily punished by jump attacks, so use it carefully.

Universal counter that works against mid-guard normal slashes. Upon successful counter, you can follow up with any attack except throws. The amount of time to follow up depends on timing and the strength of slash, and deflecting medium slashes staggering the opponent for longest amount of time. Additionally, if you deflect a heavy slash or running medium slash, the opponent will be disarmed.

Activate the rage explosion gauge and push back the opponent, available once per match. In order to activate, the character must be on the ground with the weapon on hand. It can be activated during hit stun / throw staggering / weapon deflected / recoil cancel / normal cancel / blocking, but not during action recovery. It's nearly the same as max rage with extra damage buff (140% vs 120%), and it pauses the timer count down, also allows access to Lighting Blade. The less amount of health remaining when activates, the more amount of rage explosion gauge it begins with. Rage explosion ends if the gauge runs out, WFT connects, Lighting Blade used, or the round ended. Then the rage gauge disappears for the rest of match. The activation push back is unblockable, and its hit-box extends all the way up to top of the screen.

Sogetsu can jump off walls. Doing so will increase jump height and change the landing trajectory, making it difficult for the opponent to position and time an anti-air.

His water pillar move. During max rage all 3 versions become 3 hits with extra damage. This move is very important because it's a good way for zoning with great anti-air hit-box, also it's the safest way to score a knockdown. However it's horizontal hit-box is much smaller than it looks, so it takes practice to master the right distance. It cancels out fireball as well, even the normal version cancels out Kazuki's max level fireball and Mina's max level arrow.

His water ball move, each button determintes the location is travels to. Although considered as a projectile, it doesn't have any hit box until it reaches its destination, making it useless for fireball game. Its start up is very long, therefore it's very likely to get jump in if used in neutual. It's not affected by any projectile reflecting move (except Mina's 236D which doesn't really reflect the projectile back).

Hold the slash button after Moon Rise to control the water ball for a very long period of time, it can be moved anywhere (even off the screen). It's usually used for zoning (which is very difficult to jump over), or placed behind the opponent to create high/low mix up or making his 5C and other moves safe on block. It can also be placed right in front of the opponent, such that he/she will get hit if pressing any button, and then Sogetsu can go for dash up throw or teleport behind for high/low mix up. Because the water ball has very long hit stun (39 frames), it's guarenteed to follow up with 2B combos or 5C, sometimes even SSM or Issen.

His teleport move. The A version appears half screen behind the original position, and the B version appears in front of the opponent, and the C version appears in the back of the opponent (even if the opponent is in the corner). Full invincibility from frame 19 to 43. B/C version has 9 frames recovery from frame 44~52, makes it very difficult to punish by mid slash on reaction. If the opponents input mid slash or throw before Sogetsu appears, it will leave them vulnerable to the A version follow up with the water pillar. It becomes more deadly during Rage Explosion, when the opponent is forced to guess front and back or use low kick to punish the teleport under huge pressure (The opponent can use Rage Explosion to avoiding guessing once, but there is no perfect strategy against it after all).

Available only during Max Rage or Rage Explosion. Disarms on hit. Sogetsu slashes multiple times while advancing very fast. It's able to catch airbone opponents, make it a good long range punish tool and useful anti-air in some situations. It deals good chip damage as well.

Available only once per match. Full invincibility from frame 1 to 10. Sogetsu sends a special projectile which hits low and covers full screen instantly like Shiki's SSM. It starts up 4 frames slower than average SSM, and it doesn't hit airborne opponents like Shiki's as well.
