Overview

Daimon is a Grappling Character, specializing in close-quarters fighting. Because of his archetype, he has very few options to keep opponents off him, but can bring insurmountable pressure when he's on the offensive. Situational moves like his Kumo-Tsukami Nage can pull opponents that like to jump out of the sky, and Kirikabu Gaeshi keep opponents off the floor if they purposefully don't tech roll. The Jiraishin is easily his best long-ranged attack, as it fills the whole screen with a tremor that knocks opponents off the floor; with the addition of the feint in '95, this allows for some serious mind games and lure _targets into throws they could have otherwise avoided.
