Overview
 

Like many big hitter characters in Blazblue, Kagura doesn't really have many good ways to maintain pressure but he does have a number of tools for opening an opponent up.
 
 
Tools
 
 
5BB/6B
Jump Cancelable on block. An important normal for going into the [8]2C instant overhead in the middle of a blockstring
 
5C 
Mostly good for trying to catch jump outs
Video Example -  https://youtu.be/3GvgDVGssPo?t=3175
 
6C 
Good for catching people trying to jump out. 
Video Example 1 - https://youtu.be/lMEpqPPB6-U?t=186
 
5B
A standing low. It also seems to have little recovery and can sometimes be a good way to reset pressure
 
2C
Long reaching low
 
Dragon's Blade (2DB)
A low mixup from crouching drive stance. If you have 50 meter and you abolsutely need to keep pressure going, you can use 2DB (1) > RC to close the gap between you and your opponent and reset pressure.

6A
Kagura's command normal overhead. Doesn't gatling into anything and is negative frame advantage on block. Probably best not to use this often or at least without 50 meter.

Dragon's Strike (2DA)
An overhead mixup from crouching drive stance.

Instant Overhead ??? ([8]2C)
An Instant Overhead when used right. More on this later

Throw
Standard throw. Doesn't see as much use as Dragon's Claw but it's still an option to open opponents up

Dragon's Claw (5DB)
Standing Drive stance command grab.
 
Dragon's Blast (5DA)
Mainly used to compliment wakeup Dragon's Claw as a mixup. However, Dragon's Blast does guard point against everything but lows and forces Fatal Counter on Counter Hit, making it great in blockstrings as an anti-mashing tool sometimes.

Dragon's Mirage (6DB)
Left/right mixup from drive stance. Somewhat slow though so it doesn't see much use in higher levels of play.

Dragon's Spirit ([4]6A/B)
Oki tool. More on this later
 
 
Dragon's Spirit Oki ([4]6A/B
 

A lot of Kagura's combos end with throwing out Dragon's Spirit for oki. Depending on which version you use, it'll handle different wakeup options

The A Version of Dragon's Spirit:
- Forces Neutral Techs to block on wakeup - https://youtu.be/kjpPmF3mdRw?t=5661
- Forces Back rolls to block on wakeup - https://youtu.be/kjpPmF3mdRw?t=5103
- Loses to Delay Teching - https://youtu.be/egXaGDlI8UE?t=251
 
 
The B Version of Dragon's Spirit:
- Forces Delaying Teching to block on wakeup (Might need to push them into it) - https://youtu.be/egXaGDlI8UE?t=710
- Catches forward rolls - https://youtu.be/egXaGDlI8UE?t=797
- Loses to back rolls - https://youtu.be/CD-Z439NnNc?t=250
 

...To be honest, Dragon's Spriit oki is kind of hit and miss. Overall, it feels like a bad Rock Paper Scissors game where most of the time, your opponent won't have to block it but they won't get away either. Sometimes they'll block it. Sometimes they'll escape. Unfortunately, Kagura doesn't have many good ways to control an opponent's wakeup options without it so you're going to have to play this game.
 
 
Dragon Spirit Oki Mixups
 
These mixups aren't specific to Dragon Spirit oki but they are somewhat more effective by Dragon Spirit slightly blocking what you're doing visually. 
 
Run Up [8]2C Overhead
 
2A > 5A > Stance Command Grab
 
 
Instant Overhead ([8]2C)
 
 
It doesn't let you convert it into a full combo without rapid canceling it but the damage it does on its own is pretty significant and the knockdown lets you go for more mixup and pressure afterwards. It's a pretty good tool to keep your opponent on their toes and cautious. On block, your pressure will come to an end though so don't get too predictable with it.
 
Run Up IOH [8]2C
There's a small trick to pulling this one off. First you enter barrier block with 4AB then slide your stick or your thumb on the dpad up to 7 so you can charge the up direction while staying on the ground. 
 
j.B > [8]2C
Double Overhead . You charge 8 during the jumping in.
 
j.B > j.A > [8]2C
Triple overhead blockstring. You charge 8 during the jumping in.
Video Example -https://youtu.be/lMEpqPPB6-U?t=913
 
2A > 5A > 2B > 6B > IOH [8]2C 
Taking advantage of 6B's jump cancel to go for an instant overhead
 
5BB > IOH [8]2C
2B > 6B > IOH [8]2C
 
 
Pre-canned Blockstrings
 
 
2B > 5B Reset Pressure
 
Run Up 5DB Command Grab
Open the opponent up off the bat with a command grab. Good for when you've conditioned opponents not to jump or mash . 
 
2A > microdash 5DB
Tick command grab setup
 
2B > 5DB Command Grab
 
2DC (1) > RC > 5DB Command Grab
An interesting blockstring that takes advantage of 2DC (1) pulling Kagura forward to go for a command grab mixup after rapid canceling. It costs 50 meter though 
 
2C > 2DA Overhead
 
5DA > 2DA Overhead
 
2DA > j.5DA~1
A punish against people trying to punish 2DA on block. Feels like you have to commit to the j.5DA~1 pretty early though
 
5B > 2B > 6B > 3C Low
A blockstring that compliments blockstrings involving 5BB/6B > IOH [8]2C Overhead very well.
 
Corner
 
Run Up 5DA
Compliments 5DB as a means of frame trapping opponents trying to jump out of the command grab when they see you in 5D stance
 
2A > 6A Overhead
 
2B > 5B > 3C > 6C > 6DA > 2DA
 
2A > 5B > 2B > 6B > IAD j.B

https://www.evernote.com/shard/s624/sh/d6c14da6-8660-4cb1-bd0f-70c3a99dfa38/f04406b9eaf54818682002ffb70596ba
 
Overall
 
A good chunk of Kagura's neutral game revolves around strategic use of Dragon's Spirit ([4]6A/B). However, Kagura's giant sword isn't just for show either. All his C normals have great reach and are great pokes for playing footsies with
 
 
Dragon's Spriit ([4]6A/B)
 
 
As you would expect of a character that was partially designed to be similar to Guile, there's a lot of emphasis on Kagura's version of Sonic Boom, Dragon's Spirit, to play his neutral game.
 
In its most basic application, Dragon's Spirit is great for controlling ground space. The A version of Dragon's spirit now moves faster, goes fullscreen and knocksdown on hit making it great for hindering ground approaches and opponents trying to do stuff on the ground in general. 
Video Example 1 - https://youtu.be/mb3EzVubWg8?t=69
 
However, the true objective of Dragon's Spirit for Kagura is to use it to help him approach. Dragon's Spirit travels at just the right speed to comfortably run behind as cover.  By having this advancing projectile approaching the opponent ahead of you, the opponent can't really poke you out of an advance or do much of anything to stop you while they remain on the ground.
Video Example 1 - https://youtu.be/3GvgDVGssPo?t=616
Video Example 2 - https://youtu.be/3GvgDVGssPo?t=676
 
As you may have already caught on, most opponents will try to jump over Dragon's Spirit to avoid getting locked down by it and allowing Kagura to start pressure. However, this is also part of the plan. While forcing the opponent to take to the air isn't as big of a win as in a game like Street Fighter where you can't air block, it'll severely limit your opponent's options and get them to move in much more predictable ways that you can take advantage of. Here's a few tactics you can use against an opponent trying to jump out of Dragon's Spirit.
 
Sonic Boom + Jump up Air Throw
Jump up Air Throw is mostly good against opponents who try to get over Dragon's Spirit in a more passive manner such as double jumping or neutral jumping.
Video Example 2 - https://youtu.be/lMEpqPPB6-U?t=705
Video Example 3 - https://youtu.be/suezPBTd5Tg?t=384
 
Sonic Boom Jump Up j.A
Jump up j.A is mostly good for hitting opponents who'll try and jump over Dragon's Spirit and attack you with a jump in.
Video Example 1 - https://youtu.be/mb3EzVubWg8?t=682
 
Sonic Boom + 6C
Similar function as Jump j.A. The main differences are that 6C's long reach can allow you to outspace jump in attempts comfortably and it'll also lead to bigger damage on hit. However, 6C is also riskier to do. The cases that jump up air throw handles well are the cases that'll make 6C whiff and put them in a good position to punish.
Video Example - https://youtu.be/lMEpqPPB6-U?t=580
 
 
Footsies
 
 
Of course, just trying to win the neutral game alone with Dragon's Spirit won't be enough. So, lets go over some ways to play neutral with good movement and pokes. 

dash > super jump falling j.C
For when you need to cover ground really quickly. The dash momentum will allow you to catapult yourself to the other side of the screen with a super jump and come down on an opponent with j.C's wide hitbox.
Video Example - https://youtu.be/3GvgDVGssPo?t=456
 
Jump Forward Barrier > falling j.C
Good for whiff punishing up close. Jump over ground pokes with jump forward barrier and then punish them on the way back down with falling j.C 
Video Example - https://youtu.be/CD-Z439NnNc?t=266
 
Jump Back j.C
Because of j.C's wide hitbox, jump back j.C can be a good defensive tactic to hit an opponent trying to approach you both from the air or the ground
Video Example 1 - https://youtu.be/wQ9-5WAwW9I?t=218
 
5C
Has great horizontal reach and it's startup has been shortened a bit in CF to make it more effective as a poking tool. Additionally, if you have 50 meter, this is a poke that can lead to some pretty good damage. Like most ground pokes, you need to be cautious of your opponent trying to jump barrier over it to whiff punish though. 
 
2C
Similar to its standing counterpart, 2C has great horizontal reach and can lead to great damage if you have 50 meter. 2C's main benefit as a poke over is that you can do it from a downback position in neutral, allowing you to charge Dragon's Spirit ([4]6A/B) and Dragon's Ascent ([2]8B/C) in case you need them. However, 2C is even more vulnerable to whiffing as a result of an opponent jumping because of how low it hits to the ground. So 5C tends to be a somewhat safer to poke with.    
 
 
Jump Stance (j.D)
 
Not as frequently used outside of vs Zoners matchups but j.D can be useful sometimes in neutral. The direction of Kagura j.D's descent can be changed by player input and can be used to mess up an opponent's spacing while putting yourself in a strategic position in some cases. Additionally, j.D stops Kagura's falling momentum so sometimes a good way to mess up your opponent's calculated spacing is to temporarily go into jump stance and then cancel it when you're ready. 
Stalling jump momentum Example - https://youtu.be/egXaGDlI8UE?t=782
 
 
Dealing with Zoning 
 
Zoning can be rough against a character like Kagura with slow movement but he still has his ways of dealing with it. The most important thing of all though is to not get impatient when up against a character with good zoning tools. 
 
Good movement
Because of Kagura's slow run speed, approaching from the ground using just good movement probably won't get you too far. Instead, you'll want to make good use of stuff such as dash > super jump forward Barrier and jump forward barrier to cover ground quickly and safely 
Dash super jump forward barrier Example - https://youtu.be/eEuSOGX1A8I?t=193
Jump forward barrier Example - https://youtu.be/eEuSOGX1A8I?t=236
 
Sky Dragon's Strike (6DC)
In terms of character specific tools, Kagura also has Sky Dragon's Strike (6DC), which has armor against projectiles. On counter hit, it will wall bounce the opponent to be picked up for a full combo. You can also use it from air stance as well to work it seamlessly into your natural movement in this match and cover more ground. Be careful though. Whiffing this entirely against a zoning character can be a disaster sometimes. 
 
Dragon's Spirit B ([4]6B)
Another good useful option is the B version of Dragon's Spirit. If you can find a big enough opportunity to throw it out, Dragon's Spirit B has a high enough projectile level to cancel out other projectiles and keep going, creating an opportunity to approach behind it. Do note that it's limited in how far it can travel. So it'll get you part of the way to close the gap with the opponent but you'll have to travel that last bit of distance on your own if they retreat. 
 
Dealing with Air Approaches
 
 
Dragon's Ascent B ( [2]8B )
1f invuln, great vertical and horizontal reach and can be converted into a full combo on hit are allreasons why the B version of Dragon's Ascent is great for beating jump ins. However, since this is a DP, you definitely want to use this mostly in situations where the opponent needs to commit to their jump in to avoid risks of it being blocked
 
5A 
While 5A doesn't have the invuln of a typical anti-air, 5A is fast, has good horizontal reach for a jab and hits higher up than you'd expect a standing jab to because of the upward angle Kagura pokes it out at. In situations where you don't have a down charge ready to use the B version of Dragon's Ascent and the opponent is directly above you, consider using a quick 5A to anti-air your opponent
 
6C
6C's massive hitbox makes it great for dealing with air approaches and the rewards on counter hit make it well worth going for. However, it's start up is somewhat slow. It has no real head invuln compared to other grounded normals you'd usually use to stop an air approach too.  You have to choose when to use this wisely. You preferably want to use this in situations where you can take advantage of 6C's massive reach the most since this is also the spacing where it's easier to throw out 6C without getting hit out of it.  
 
 
Round Start
 
 
Super jump forward Barrier
Good option to chase after opponents that'll try to retreat at round start. 
 
Super jump back > Barrier
Retreat. Super jump back gives you a lot of freedom in being able to react to the ongoing situation compared to other options.
Video Example - https://youtu.be/lMEpqPPB6-U?t=233
 
Jump Forward Barrier
Fish for a whiff punish on a round start poke
 
Neutral Jump barrier
Fish for a whiff punish without giving up ground
 
Down Back > Observe
A good passive option to go for at round start. It'll put you in a good position to react to jump ins with an AA [2]8B and more importantly, it lets you see what sort of things your opponent likes to do at round start. 
 
IAD j.B > j.A
Go on the offensive with a jump in. j.B's hitbox isn't anything special though so be weary of getting anti-aired if you're being too predictable.
 
5C
5C is a good option because its long reach will allow you to reach your opponent at round start. Just don't get too predictable with it since opponents can jump forward barrier to make it whiff and put themselves in a good position to whiff punish it. 
 
2C
Good round start poke for similar reasons as 5C plus the benefits of 2C over 5C mentioned earlier in the guide
 
6C
A good round start option since its wide hitbox will shut down air approaches and people who slightly hesitated with their ground approach.
However, it does lose to Round Start pokes so be careful

  • Exceed Accel: Kouryuu "Genma Rettouzan" (ABCD During Overdrive)
  • Ryuurenbu (8 charge 2 +C in midair or during Ryuujinshou/Fafner/Dragon's Ascent)
  • 3C floats lower, can only be followed up by 2DB
  • 6DC hit effect changed, now works like OD version (causes slide)
  • j.C is VERY slow, doesn't cause stagger on ground hit
  • 5C/2C/6C are MUCH faster
  • 2C causes slide effect on ground hit
  • Knockdown on [8]2C is short, similar to hizansen
  • A ryuubakusen is faster, might go further
  • A ryuubakusen hit effect changed, 5DA>[4]6A>5B doesn't work
  • 5DA wallstick reduced
  • C fafnir no longer causes wallstick
  • B fafnir is slower, more recovery
  • 6B>2C>2DC works
  • No 6A gatlings
  • j.C landing lag reduced
  • j.C Counter Hit "slams" on hit. Difficult to follow up
  • A ryuubakusen starts as 1 hit, after travelling becomes 2 hits
  • A ryuubakusen knocks down on hit

Normals:

 

5C: Startup is faster, range is shorter. Can't combo into 6DA on air CH

2C: Startup is faster, can combo into it from 6B. Causes slide effect on ground hit

6C: Startup is faster. Range feels shorter(?). Doesn't seem to have head invuln

3C: Floats lower on hit, so you can't combo into 5DC,2DC or 6DC

j.C: Startup is slower, landing lag has been reduced (Almost 0!)

 

No changes to jump cancels and no additional gatlings added.

 

Drive:

 

5DA: Midscreen air hit knocks them further away. Can't tech it until you hit the ground

5DB: Damage up to 2200dmg. Blows them further away on hit.

5DC: Invuln doesn't seem changed. Hitbox behind you might be a tiny bit extended. Although you still don't turn around if the opponent passes by overhead.

6DC: On air hit, either floats them like 1.1 OD, but a little lower or causes a sliding effect, might have a clean hit mechanic, similar to Ragna's Belial edge or produce different effects dependant on when the stance is used (e.g. 6DC>2DC might be different to 2DC>6DC). Wall bounds on CH.

 

Specials:

Ryuubakusen: A orb moves faster, goes full screen. Knocksdown on ground hit. Starts of as 1 hit, after travelling a bit becomes 2 hits and eventually 3 hits.

B Fafnir: Startup increased, recovery increased. Invuln still the same

C Fafnir: No longer wallsticks, Extend Cfafnir combos not possible. Invuln still the same

 

New move:

Hits overhead! Knockdown is similar to Jin's Hizansen.

No height limit. Charge time is short 5B(8)B>j.2C will work for quick overhead.

Minus on block, but seems hard to be punished for because of the distance it opens up.

Can't be followed up on midscreen CH

In the corner, rc>5B will always hit, regardless of CH

 

Exceed Accel:

The deadly art, the Kagura-Copter!

 

Combos:

Midscreen: 5BB>2C>2DC>5DA. You can 6DA after the 5DA, but it seems character specific

Corner: 5BB>2C>5C>A orb>6B>5C>2DA>6DC>Cfaf(followup)

Midscreen: 2DA>5DA>6DA. Again, the 6DA feels character specific>

Corner: 5BB>2C>5C>A orb>dash2C>5C>2DA>5DA>6DA>Cfaf(followup) is 3200 damage, can replace dash 2C with 6B.

 

Misc:

Feels like a completely different character.

They got rid of his painful neutral + one-shot comeback damage playstyle, and he's become a character that sort of grinds you down in little increments by throwing out 5C willy-nilly and getting knockdowns from even anti-air Fafner/A mash ground hits.

The new overhead move especially... (if I say more Mori will notice, so rest is omitted).

It's like playing an entirely different character, and strong/weak talk aside, fun.
