VF4FT Kage Arcadia Issue 52

The expected double handed attack has been added. This should be a relief in battles against Aoi. Also, the attacks from Jumonji have been polished up, so watch out.

If there are players who are thrilled about the 's revival, to being the strongest iteration yet, then there are probably also Kage players who are writhing about the changing of to .

How these changes will affect the development of Kage from here we don't know.

About Changed Moves

The A1 and A2 attacks are both 15 frames, and on counter hit both allow for combos. However, the A2 attack has different combos depending on foot stance and the hit effect. It seems like in future studies, the ability to get higher damage off the A2 attack is likely.

The B changed attack that is important is the 17 frame Knee. On CH, this causes a vital area crumble, and knocks the opponent down.

• The still has its sabaki effect, but has been further strengthened. You should use it a lot.
• Also, if the BT jumonji hits a crouching opponent, it will stagger them.
• The motion for B1 has changed and whether it can change into jumonji stance is still unkown.
• Finally, the expected knee class attack has been added, so we can expect his damage to jump.
