*Additional Notes
- b6 can Lethal Hit an opponent if it hits them during their backstep (basically b6 is good against opponents who try to create space by backstepping from Close Range to Mid Range)
- bA is a solid mid-hitting anti-step tool (though is unsafe on block)
- Under Soul Charge, 3BB & 1KBB become a dangerous mix-up
- 236(B) is great in close range when you have the opponent on the defensive
- 66BB's delayability make 66B or 66(B) a decent approach tool
- Shura Blade will most commonly be entered by using SC8B+K (you can use it right before Soul Charge wears off) or off of a CE whiff punish or combo ender
- Relic Stance (Tanegashima Terror) automatically counters projectiles (Yes, anything that Azwel, 2B, Cervantes, you name it, shoots at you, Relic will counter it!)
