Strategy

Blockstrings

5b, 2ba 5b (on wall)

As Kiba

On neutral, pressure with 2ba and airthrow. Look for an opening mid-string and punish with either 5bbbaa for damage or rBy to quickly set up Akamaru glitch. Once Akamaru is on-lock, the game is yours if you play smart. You now are open to real pressure, since landing Akamaru Lunge could cost them the round if you punish accordingly. Use 2A for tradeoffs and Akamaru positioning.

Against Kiba

Any string other than 5b is punishable on block, even 2ba (Just jump attack). Also, Kiba can't deal with distant pressure.

Combos and Tech

Combos	Notes	Video
＞ × n ＞	"Wasshoi" combo. Once you see that your opponent has substituted, shoot out Akamaru.
>	Combo into super.
＞ () ＞	Max damage combo from . If you input too fast, Akamaru will not be able to catch up, so appropriate delay is required.

Akamaru Lock Glitch

Normally, Kiba's charged A move has him stay put on the floor until you release the A button to make Akamaru lunge at the opponent. However, by inputting A, releasing the button, and quickly holding A afterwards, Kiba will be able to move freely and attack with B or Y while Akamaru is charging his lunge. This allows for mindgames and combos involving Akamaru's special charged biting lunge.

High Crushing

5X, 2B, and 6B are excellent high crush moves. Use 5X right as an opponent is about to jab you. Watch out for sweeps, though, they will mix up if they are smart. In that case, jBy.
