Pro Con
 * Byakurai, stun
 * Decent hit confirm strategy with byakurai and Sx2
 * Wabisuke, slow enemy down/prevents jump.
 * Fast GS
 * Long combo, build decent reiatsu/damage
 * Ringout with Air S
 * Useful backstab Sx2, GS, OTG O. Immoboizes opponent safely to collect item/back up teammates
 * EX in unblockable, can not be auto-guarded or parried
 * C~B rank damage output, very long combo easy to interrupt
 * Lower average stamina
 * Horrible supers, difficult to use effectively
 * Weak PU, not enough damage boost, practically the same moveset, & slowdown effect don't last the entire PU

 * Basic reiatsu build combo, 1.5~2 bars of reiatsu
 * Will not work near a wall
 * The last move is a mix up, GS for OTG & B for anti tech
 * Basic ringout combo
 * Able to blast enemy in any direction of choice
 * If enemy do not have any reiatsu, this combo is worth doing as a unblockable combo
 * Set up for gauranteed slow down with untechable down
 * Low damage
 * High damage combo with gauranteed slow down
 * [ Sx3, A ] can be left out if it is too inconsistent
 * Only works in stages with enough open space
 * Similar to combo 1 but with more damage by combo extension using O
 * Only works in stages with enough open space
 * A, O portion can lead to ringout/over the fence
 * Replace the last set of Sx3 to Land A cancel O, [ Air A, Air O ] xN if Kira has infinite reiatsu(near wall/corner)
 * If near a ledge, this combo can slide the enemy into ringout
 * Depends on which direction the opponent is facing
 * If enemy does not have enough reiatsu, this combo is hard to stop as it barely raises enemy's reiatsu before the OTG
 * After shooting O, double team a different enemy
 * Combo starting from B

1. Sx3, walk a step back, Sx3, A, [ Sx3, A ], O, Walk Forward B
 * Combo 5 becomes easier, use it often, may lead to ring out

Strategy
Mid Range Close Range Things to Prioritize PU When Enemy is slowed down Game Plan Summary
 * Finding Openings
 * 1) Anti Air with A
 * 2) Punish any opening with Air A
 * 3) Keep moving around for chances to stun with Byakurai
 * Air S
 * 1) Air to Air, when enemy tries to stop Izuru's Air A spam
 * 2) Use it right before landing from jump
 * 3) Useful 1 hit ringout move
 * 4) Whiff it and build reiatsu
 * Sx2 hit confirm
 * 1) Sx2 is parryable but relatively safe on block
 * 2) Cancel to GS to guard crush/counter opponent's GS
 * EX, if enemy do not have any reiatsu
 * GS
 * 1) Fast 1 hit untechable down
 * 2) GS again for OTG and okizeme with grab/B/Air A
 * Back stab with Sx2, GS, O
 * 1) Gives enough time to double team/collect items/ hide
 * 2) Drives enemy to wall/ringout
 * Ringout
 * 1) Combo 2, if there is no space/time to do a long combo
 * 2) Combo 6, ending with A, O can ringout quite easily
 * 3) Combo 7, if the enemy is facing toward the ledge
 * B, slowdown
 * 1) Use it if the opponent will become less efficient if slowed down
 * 2) If teammate has PU
 * 3) On stages with obstacles like Bony-chan and Trains
 * Backing up teammate
 * 1) End combo with juggle O or OTG O to keep one of the enemy immobolized, increased oppurtunity for double team
 * 2) Make sure to save teammate from being combo'ed with Air A
 * PU, as a method to slow down enemy PU.
 * Use it to stall against powerful PU
 * Hide at high elevation, if the opponent does not have a teleport move your safe
 * Air A against enemies that tries to jump on to the same high elevation. Add B after stun to stall longer
 * Remember that Air S and GS are 1 hit slow down move in PU. Try to land one in
 * In PU, B can be an effective guard crush move
 * Out range your opponent with Air A
 * Grab as many useful items as you can


 * 1) Jump and Air A(on openings) or Air S(whiff build bar)
 * 2) When Air A hits, combo 1 and build reiatsu
 * 3) Back to step 1 and 2, this time use a slow down combo with B involved
 * 4) Run around and start collecting items while using step 1
 * 5) If you collect an defense up/infinite reiatsu/V jump/superarmor item be more agressive with close range Sx2 and GS. Try to land ringout/high damage combo
 * 6) If enemy PU meter is high try to hit B, and prepare an run game when opponent PU
 * 7) PU against enemy PU if enemy is not slowed down, hide on to high elevation
 * 8) Remember to have enough reiatsu for R2 burst
 * 9) Remember to fight at mid range with B/Air A more than close range with Sx2/GS
