Introduction

Kurama has an arsenal of tools to keep your opponent at a distance for a variety of situations, and combined with his aerial movements, it can be difficult to get in against him. He's one of the few characters in the game with an instant air-dash, and unlike Yata, doesn't require awakening to access it.
