Summary

The web-spitting, Sound Four Kidomaru is one of the more unique fighters in SCON4. His Spider-Man , reminiscent of Temari and CS2, allows him to safely poke in neutral with a high damage launcher. The fun really begins once you start to master his special attacks and ring combo jutsu which features hit-grabs, unblockables, KNJ web traps, super confirms and one of the better counters in the cast. If you like making the most of an off-beat, varied moveset full of situational but powerful attacks, Kidomaru might be the arach-ninja for you.
