Normal moves
【2A】
A crouching kick. This 2A doesn't have much reach but it cancels into itself. The hit box for it is also rather narrow, making it impossible to pick up falling opponents with the the tip of the move. This is still a good move for poking out and starting combos though.
【5A】
A level straight punch right out in front, one of Saki's only moves using her hands. This cancels into itself. This works quite well as an anti air, making it great for stuffing careless jump ins. You can also try to clash the opponent with it, giving you more options. This doesn't hit a lot of characters crouching animation, but in exchange, you can do things like whiff this over their heads, and then throw them. This is pretty good for a 5A.
【2B】
This crouching kick has a good bit of range on it, but you cannot cancel it into itself. Her 2A to 2C will never connected valid, so you'll need this move to go in between. At point black, anyone can punish her 2C, so make sure you stop at 2B for hit confirms.
【5B】
A low kick. You can use it to hit opponent that are just about to land, but this move too, has a narrow hitbox. This move actually hits low. If you try to use this in combos like in AH2, there is a high chance that your combo with stop right here, so be careful.
【6B】
Saki's old 5B, a side kick. This is great for combos and spacing. But you still need to spend time to learn how to use the move well. Also, you end up letting go of your charge if you use it because you need to use the 6 direction. So it isn't always good to let this move you.

Strategy
Character Summary
Saki still retains her status as a beginner-friendly character. Her attacks function more or less the same as they did in AHF with some slight twists. She has gained several new moves in exchange for some of her old ones such as her new thrust kick super replacing the old rush super. She's still a pretty solid character with decent range and speed. It may take a little time to adjust to her changes, but overall, it won't take too long for AHF Saki players to feel right at home.
General Strategies
- First and foremost, stay within close proximities with the opponent and pressure them using IAD strings and frame traps.
- Use j.3C often, mix this into IAD pressure strings.
- 214A+B super is a good move. Use it on wakeup or after HC6 to fend off rushdowns depending on the situation.
- 236A+B is a good move to use after 4GC.
- [2]8B/C are great defensive tools, use them on wakeup if your opponent decides to do oki or after HC6 .
- 6B is your friend, go from defensive to offensive in a split second when used against IAD rushdowns .
Combos
Saki's combos haven't changed all that much since AHF. Her new combos are pretty much AHF-style combos with some slight changes here and there.
Note: After any 2A, it is possible to insert 5B.
