Stage: Gairyu Isle (Night)
Throws:
- Sky Drop / Throw Slash (← / → + HS): Throws the opponent and follows up with a slash, launching them high in the air.
- Saishin Kiba (← / → + MS): Knocks the opponent down with a strike.
- Fall Reprobacy (← / → + MK / HK): Similar to Sky Drop Throw Slash, but it doesn't launch the opponent as high. You cannot throw the opponent backwards with Fall Reprobacy (HK).
- Tsukami Nage (Unarmed) (← / → + MS / HS / MK / HK): Throws the opponent.
Special Moves:
- Hiken Tsubame Gaeshi (Concealed Sabre Swallow Swipe) (↙ ↓ ↘ → + S) (Midair Only): Slashes the air to launch a phoenix. The slash is a high attack that deals more damage than the projectile, which is a mid attack.
- Hiken Sasame Yuki (Concealed Sabre Snowfall Slash) (↓ ↙ ← + S): Throws an apple and then slashes rapidly. This move will knock down the opponent when it hits.
Notes:
- Ukyo cannot perform any of his special moves while unarmed.
- Experiment with the different directional inputs for throws to see how they affect the opponent's launch height.
- The projectile from Hiken Tsubame Gaeshi can be used to control space while the slash can punish opponents who get too close.
- Hiken Sasame Yuki offers a mix of projectile and close-range pressure.
