I want know more about Kage!

As you should know, this is a pretty good sabaki and best used when you have an advantage. As a general attack it's great because it's mid, is uncounterable (i.e. nothing guaranteed) and turns your around. You have the option on continuing the combo or going into Kage's many BT options. You can also delay the kicks a little to mess with your opponent. If the second kick counter hits, they'll be knocked down and then the third kick is guaranteed. Alternatively, for slightly more damage, you can do the BT instead. So it's MC ~ BT .

Since the is half circular, it's also good to use for okizeme. So when the opponent is just rising, put this attack out. It's also a good move to lead into the BT which gives you advantage on guard, or air combo on hit.

+
Good round opener (with or without back dash), especially against opponents who like to start a round with a fast high attack. On counter it causes foot crumble so follow up with either +, + or (best damage). This move also has long range so it's always best to use it from as far as possible, since on guard it's throw counterable only if they're within throwing range. To give you an idea of how long the reach is, from the start of a round, if you do one full back dash and then do the move, it will still hit the opponent.


Ideally used when you have medium advantage, and has some small evading properties for high attacks. On guard you have the advantage, and on counter hit, you can follow up with float combos ( ~ + ~ +). On normal hit the float isn't high enough, but you can still combo the BT . Generally considered one of the more stylish moves for Kage, so it's not used a great deal, but definitely has some benefits to it. The downside is that it hits high and is linear, so if you miss this move the consequences could be painful for you.
