Strategy

Kabuto is a fundamentals heavy character who relies on a basic moveset featuring many strong buttons and strings. His low HP, which is the smallest in the game, is made up for by continual regeneration after taking damage. Zoners like Haku or Sakura will be limited in their ability to threaten Kabuto with chip damage. However, Kabuto must be wary of damaging combos that would not be able to finish the round against a character with a normally sized health bar.
Kabuto's block strings apply good pressure, lack obvious sidestep points, and tend to leave him in an advantageous position. or lifts the opponent in the air, giving Kabuto an opportunity to air throw or mix their landing. If the opponent uses jump kunai or a swordsmen , Kabuto's string finisher has guard frames and will punish the attack, though Kabuto's finsher will whiff if the opponent double jumps first.
