Gou Hadoken, a technique that fires a ki ball forward, is effective as a means of attacking from a distance.

The new move Adamant Flame quickly closes the distance and unleashes a thrust shrouded in flames.

With Ashura Senku, which performs high-speed movement shrouded in illusions, you can choose the direction of movement by inputting forward or backward at the time of activation.

The SA1 Messatsu Gohado, which consumes one gauge bar, fires a high-speed projectile.
It has high power as a projectile Super Art.

The SA2 Empyrean's End turns the Satsui no Hado into flames and strikes the opponent. You can follow up when the blown-away opponent reaches the edge of the stage.

The SA3 Sip of Calamity is fast coming out from a special move cancel and is effective for incorporating into combos.
Overpower your opponent with strength and unleash a blow of disaster!
