This is a small guide to help people out if they're interested in Kunimitsu and would like an idea on how to approach learning her. This guide is mainly for letting you get your "feet wet" with the character. Feel free to message me if you have any questions pertaining to anything. Cheers!

0:00 Introduction
1:20 Kunimitsu's General Gameplay
5:55 Some BnB's
7:15 Close Range Focus
8:33 A Look at Kunimitsu's Stances
19:21 A Look at Kunimitsu's Neutral Game
23:19 Throw Game
25:19 Rage Skills
26:13 Outroduction
*Additional Notes
- The Manji Low Kicks, (db)+33333, are pretty negative on block (and on hit too...), luckily it can be "ended" with a safe "4" ender similar to ws+4
- If an opponent whiffs something at range, feel free to whiff punish them with qcf+1, the kunai throw
- b+11111 (Slap U Silly) is advantage on block on any hit (well unless you faint...)
- Katon (KAT)~1 is your "quick-ish" poke from Katon stance
- b+4,3 is still good for whacking people at the wall
- SET~1,2,3 is not as good as its equivalent bound string in TTT2 (use SET~1,2,1 instead)
- uf+2 is a nice cheeky jumping low
- f1+2 is a strong, high-impact i14 strike
- 3,4 is a decent homing high kick, with the follow-up being a natural counter-hit combo (NCC)
- Kunimitsu's lows outside of stance could be better
- Kunimitsu's "hopkick", uf+3,4 has decent range now
- Did I mention that SET~2 is good...?
- Be careful to mind your range when poking
*Note that I wrote "uf+3,4" as "uf3+4". Apologies. uf3+4 leaps into Musasabi stance. Tekken's notation can rattle the brain a bit. f4+f is also f+4,f
*Kunimitsu's Primary Stances
- Setsunagake = f+3
- Katon = 1+2
- Urakarin = b3+4
*Punishers
- i9! = ff+4,2
- i10 = 1,2,2 / 1,1
- i11 = ws+4
- i13 = f+2,3 / ws+1,1
- i14 = f1+2 / ws+2,4
- i15 = df+2 / uf+3,4 / ws+3

0:48 Christie
8:39 Diego
13:07 Helena
19:01 Jann Lee
26:54 Lisa (La Mariposa)
Part Four Characters:
CHRISTIE:
- i9/i11/i14
- Poke with PP2K~, PP4P~, PPPP~JAK, PKK~JAK, 6PP~/6PPP~/6PP~JAK or H+K~ in close range
- Poke with H+K, 6PP~, 3K~, or 2H+K~ in mid range
- Hi-crush with 1P~/1PK, FC3P, 3P~, 2P~/2PP~ or 2H+K~/2H+KP
- When you have the opponent on the defensive or on the opponents wake-up for example, apply pressure with 4P+K (which can be charged for a guaranteed follow-up)
- Its ok to approach with empty rolls with 3P+K to try to fish for 3P+K~PPs gut stun, to hi-crush launch something with 3P+K~K or to apply pressure on block with 3P+K~P+K (be careful of getting blown up by mids if you roll in an opponents face while not at significant advantage)
- Use JAK~cancels (3PP(P)2/8, 66PP(P)2/8, 4PP(P)2/8, BT2PPP(P)2/8, etc.) to keep the opponent guessing, when mixed with the chargeable guard breaks (GB)
- Most execution practise will be for the JAK~cancels/transitions
DIEGO:
- i10/i12/i13
- Poke with PP~/PPPP/PPP(P), 2P, 6PP~, or 1K (good frame advantage low) in close range
- Diegos GBs are ridiculous. Abuse: 4PP, PPPP, KK, or 236P (1PP & 66P are - GBs)
- Anytime you have the opponent on the defensive, sneak in Diegos throws. They all can deal devastating wall damage
- Needless to say, Diego is very dangerous when he has his opponent with their back to a wall
- 1PP is your go to tracking, hi-crushing, low poke
HELENA:
- i11/i12/i14
- Poke with PKKK/PP2K, 6PP~, KKK, or 3KKK in close range
- Poke with Bokuho (BKO)~6P~/6PP, BKO~PP2K, BKO~6K~, or BKO~2K2 from Bokuho stance in close range
- From mid range poke with 3KK, 4PPK~, or 66KP~
- You can enter BKO with BKO~22P4P, which can intercept the opponent pretty well dependent on usage
- 1PP~/1PPK is your go-to hi crushing low poke
- While in BTed stance, BT~T is a good reset throw along with 214T (follow-up with the i12 elbows: either 6PP~ or BKO~6PP~)
- Anytime you have the opponent on the defensive while Helena is in BKO sneak in the BKO~T (or BKO~2K2)
JANN LEE:
- i10/i11/i13
- Poke with PP4P~, PP6P~Dragon Stance (DS), PP2K~, PPP2K or 6P~ in close range
- While in mid range poke with 3K4K~/K4K~ or pressure the opponent in the neutral game with 66K
- Once you have the opponent respecting Janns mids, you can sneak in the 236K unblockable Dragon Kick (good on the opponents wake-up too)
- When youre ready to get your offense started, sneak in 66T against a defensive opponent (dash-up 6H+K~DS is a solid follow-up)
- 3P+K is a decent hi-crushing knockback strike
- 33(P) is a powerful, chargeable launcher that leaves Jann backturned
- 6T is nasty at a wall. Input P+K during the COMBO THROW and follow-up with the Dragon Stance follow-up of your choice: DS~K, DS~P, DS~P+K, or DS~2KK is great at a wall!
LISA (La Mariposa):
- i11/i13/i16
- Poke with PP4, PK, 6PK4, 2KK4, or 6K in close range
- 3K4 is a great poke in general along with 7K6~ (which has a few follow-ups)
- Carrera (CAR)~K or 66K is your go to pressure move into Carrera on hit or on an opponents block
- Any time you think the opponent will do a slow move or will attack from disadvantage (abare), smack them with 4H+K
- 1PK and 1K~ are good hi-crushing, tracking pokes
- Lisas jumping offensive holds (OH) are great such as 8T, BT~8T CAR~T, (or the sneaky BT~6T booty splat!)
- BT~4P+K (The Booty!) is your go-to poke from BT (its unholdable but counts as both a Mid P & Mid K)
- BT~4P (used in the final sample combo), is a great, fast, hi-crushing Mid P launcher from BT. Its your go-to launcher from BT
- Like most grapplers, 66T is a great standard OH to sneak in on the opponent

0:21 Mila
7:29 Momiji
13:51 NiCO
21:42 Phase 4
29:10 Brad Wong
Part Three Characters:
MILA:
- i10/i12/i14
- Poke in close range with PP~, P6P~, P6PK, PP6K/PP6K~Tackle Feint, PP2K 6P, 6PK, or 2P
- Poke at mid range with 4H+K, 4K or 3K (4K & 3K have tackle feint cancels)
- Get-in with 66K or 66P
- Whiff punish with 66K, 66P, 3H+K or 6P+K
- If you can get down the timing of the mount strikes to a Just Frame, you can guarantee their follow-ups (its ok to use the mount throw as an alternative since theres less opportunity for it to get broken)
- 7PPH is a decent tracking move to set up tackle feint mix-ups
- 1H+K~H can be use to create space and set up tackle feint shenanigans
MOMIJI:
- i10/i12/i12
- Poke with PP~/PP6K/PP4PP, PK 6P/6PK, 2P, or 6K~/6KP~ in close range
- Poke with 66P, 44K, H+K, 1P~, 2H+K (tip range safe) or 3KP from mid range
- Whiff punish with 66PP
- Try to avoid relying on the Amakake Double Jump stance, it can be a crutch easily against opponents with good defense
- If youre feeling gutsy, you can try to hit the Amakake~[P+K] super hit throw from long range if the opponent like to whiff alot (otherwise, its guaranteed after 1T or the Low Kick Hold). On a full charge, youll be at a fair amount of advantage on block too
- Momijis movement is outstanding so make sure to abuse it
NiCO:
- i9/i11/i13
- Poke with PP~/PPP~/PPP[P]/PPP[P+K], PP2K, PP6P, 6PP~/6PPP~/6PPK/6PPP[P] or PPKK/PPK2K in close range
- Hi crush with 1P, 4H+K2K, 2H+K, 1K or 3H+KK
- Get-in with 66P, 6KK~ or 236P/236[P]
- Can poke from mid range 3KK/3K2K, 4K/4PK
- 66H+K is a sneaky jumping low
- Try to sneak in the 236T throw when you can: perform 236T~T, 6PPP, 6PPPP for decent damage + knockback or use 236T~2T if the throw connects on hi-counter
PHASE 4:
- i9/i11/i12
- Poke with PP~/PP2K, 6P, 2P or 1K in close range
- If you score a CH stun, follow-up with 4K/4K~P+K for a decent launcher combo or follow-up with 3P~P+K for a chifu teleport mix-up
- Use 66K~P+K, 66P/66PP~P+K to get-in from mid range, and use 3P+K~P or 9P~P+K from a little further out
- Poke with 3K, H+K or 6P from mid range
- 1PP~P+K is a great tracking low poke
- Take note that only 66K & 66PP can teleport on block
- 236T is great (you can perform 236T, 4P, 4K~P+K, Chifu~K~P+K, Air~T for simple damage)
BRAD WONG:
- i11/i14/i14
- Poke with PP~, 3K~/3KP~, or 1K~/1K2K~ in close range
- You can enter Laydown stance at the beginning of a round (R1F)
- Use Laydown to limit your opponents options and potential frustrate impatient opponents
- Laydown can be entered while grounded also
- 44K is a great poke from mid range that leads into Laydown Feet Forward (LFT)
- To complement Running~P as a get-in move, use 66K, a great mid range low poke
- From Forward Handstand, Prioritize HS~K, HS~T then HS~P (a sneaky low)
- Brads throw from Dokuritsu-Ho (Crane stance) is great
- 4P is a great hi-crushing evasive tool with a built-in sidestep in the form of 4P2/4P8. 4PP is also a great hi-crush launcher
- Dont challenge opponents on speed, use evasiveness & crushes instead (1K...)
- 6H+K is a great jumping low crush
- BT2P~ is really good
- A decent strategy is to try and connect Brads BT~T (such as poking with BT2P (can enter BT stance with 44P) then input BT~T while BTed) then setting up annoying reset pressure
