Drive Moves of Naoto Kurogane

• 5D: Attack opponent with a blade of blood. Mainly used for corner combos. The long boot is ideal against players who abuse lackluster protections. Use with caution, skilled opponents will use reverse or OD after 5C if it is not used arbitrarily. Hyphen cancel should be used on any assertion that is not A hit to move to 6623C 5A 2C rekka.
• 2D: Attack opponent with a blade of blood. Similar to 5D, but hit low instead. This move gives Naoto the most options in corner kicks. Turning off 2D at the corner, you can do 214A> dc> en214A for a solid cross-phase, and even make a 2B crossover or another en214A crossover into the Phantom Pain. The charged version causes a wall strike with air.
• 6D: Naoto created a blade of blood and pointed upward, slashing with a high diagonal range. 6D is a staple in combos, often leading to high damage in use. CH 5C / 2C> 6D will lead to strong damage anywhere on the screen.
• j.D: Naoto aimed down with a blade of blood. Has decent horizontal and downward ranges. Good for combos. The charging slows the Naoto Kurogane down so it can be used as bait for air defenders, and when fully charged, the horizontal range is enormous. Leads to a good match if set at the right distance and is a good overall tool for many purposes. The charged version causes ground touches when hitting the ground.
