Balance Change Overview

Kage was designed for explosive close-combat,
but his short reach made it difficult for him to deal damage to opponents even slightly away from him.
To rectify this, we've adjusted the performance of normal moves used in combos.
As long as Kage is somewhat close, he can unleash his characteristic powerful attacks.

We've also improved his mid to long-range game out of consideration for his low vitality.
Kage's improved checks allow him more choices for dealing damage and decrease battle difficulty.

Special moves in particular have been adjusted for this purpose, with each strength version of Hadoken having undergone alterations.
The stronger the version, the slower the start-up. But conversely, the stronger the version, the longer the reach.
These changes allow Kage to adjust his checks and handle opponents at various distances accordingly.

Additionally, Airborne Hadoken now explodes after traveling a set distance.
This explosion easily hits grounded opponents, helps deter jumps, and can keep opponents from moving forward.
Furthermore, Ryusokyaku has a slightly reduced hurtbox before start-up, making it easier to stomp on opponents aiming for Kage's feet.

We've also touched up V-Trigger II.
Having a 3-bar V-Gauge can be a hassle for Kage, but we've made adjustments to make the payoff worth the effort.

Activating V-Trigger II enhances H. Hadoken and H. Ryusokyaku, making a big impact on Kage's movement.

Misogi can now combo from EX Ryusokyaku, regardless of passivity.
Furthermore, the minimum guaranteed damage is 30% of the base damage.
This ensures that Kage will inflict high damage, regardless of combo scaling.

The CA Metsu Shoryuken can hit high opponents, and if it doesn't trigger a cutscene, Kage can follow-up when opponents hit the ground.
Using successive attacks to hit high allows Kage to perform combos that further continue his offensive.
