Archetype

Kunimitsu is infamous due to her extreme evasiveness. Her powerful defense is somewhat balanced by having weak standing lows, but she still has strong mixups from crouch and back turned, so even once someone can deal with her cheese they're still facing a fundamentally strong character.

Her df+3+4 is a monster of a mid, being able to both evade highs and crush lows, and being arguably favorable on block. Her 2,2 series is unparalleled in its ability to choke out opponents, being both unparriable and almost impossible to whiff punish.

Her 2,2 and 1,1 are both high mid pokes that effectively can't be challenged on block due to their wide array of extensions—most notably the Katon transitions. After these transitions, KAT.3 makes almost everything whiff for an easy hit confirm to KAT.3,2 launch. So she can use these pokes a lot to lock the opponent out of doing anything at very low risk.

Strengths

Exceptional backdash and top tier sidestep
Easy space control with f+3 and 2,2
Full-screen punisher (qcf+1)
Strong mixups from FC and BT
Multiple unparriable attacks
Good wall carry
Smallest body size in the game

Weaknesses

Weak standing lows
Manual BT transition (b+3+4) moves away so it's hard to use for BT mixups
Can be overly dependent on 1,1 and 2,2, which get destroyed by shadow cutters
Many juggles are sensitive to being off-axis and require adjustments
Can get launched if you parry a poke and they sidestep

-A very high range option that wall splats from a far distance and knocks down; though missing the punish makes this move slightly risky as the second hit is high.

-With even higher effective range than f+2, this punisher is bufferable and used as a matchup specific punisher for moves with a large amount of push back, examples being Bryan’s 3+4 and d/f+2,3 / Lucky Chloe’s Kick Up (f+3+4,3+4,3+4) / Paul’s Demoman (d+4:2:1+2)
-f    cd+2        m,h    31    Launch    -17
-An  auto screw launcher that like qcf+2 is bufferable in block stun, though again another risky punisher if you miss your opportunity considering it’s also -17.

-Being a knife this is an unparryable launcher with great range. (Test Tracking)

-Another unparryable launcher with great range which in addition can be done from crouch.. (Test Tracking)
-f    qcf+1        m    27    KND    -11
-An additional matchup specific punisher for moves with an exorbitant amount of push back including but not limited to Paul’s Deathfist/Sledgehammer (qcf+2] and Heihachi’s Demon Upper (ff+2)
