Summary

Having two forms, numerous super-cancel points and directional inputs, "Copy-cat ninja" Kakashi can be one of the more intricate characters in the game to play. While his base form is somewhat slow and limited, with his Sharingan activated he gains access to several exceptional buttons, one of the most damaging supers in the game, and Sharingan cancels. Kakashi's high damage output, varied options, and HP can truly make him feel like a Jounin in a game full of Genin.

Strategy

Kakashi should enter Sharingan mode whenever he has a chance, most often after scoring a knockdown, since it gives him access to several of his best moves as well as Sharingan cancels. While attacking the opponent's guard in Sharingan mode, every super-cancel point becomes a mix-up as Kakashi can either continue his string or disabling Sharingan, and either starting a new block string or going for a throw.

The combination of Sharingan-cancel based blockstring mix-ups and heavy guard damage means that Kakashi can often threaten guard breaks. and (both base and in particular are strong and low commitment.

Both have a continuation string with , the same punch as , allowing Kakashi to activate or deactivate Sharingan after his running attacks or just combo into a super.

Kakashi's numerous super-cancel points allow him to utilize Sharingan-cancels in many of his strings
