*Hyakurenko ("Hundred Chained Hooks"): Mantis style. Gen launches a flurry of open-hand thrusts which move faster than the eye can see. The EX version is faster and stronger. Gen can perform an alternate EX version, consisting in an initial row of Hyakurenko strikes, followed up by an upward hand strike that sends the opponent flying, and a final finger stab delivered while they fall down.
*Gekiro ("Inverted Cascade/Falls"): Mantis style. Gen performs an upward flying single-handstand-style kick. Gen then continues to kick in a "pedaling" motion as he continues to ascend, ending with a turning roundhouse kick. With the EX version, Gen can land all eight kicks more easily. With an alternative EX version, Gen delivers some initial kicks, then stops in mid-air and delivers a combination of standing kicks and hand strikes, before tossing the opponent down.
*Jyasen ("Drill Snake"): Crane style. Gen rolls into a ball and launches himself in a series of tumbles which hit the opponent, ending with a forward finger stab. With the EX version Gen can avoid projectiles during the beginning of the move.
*Oga ("Wandering Fang"): Crane style. Gen jumps away from the opponent and kicks off of the wall. At this point, Gen has a great variety of options, like additional jumps and various close or far vertical and diagonal kicks. The EX version is faster and allows Gen to avoid projectiles.
*Shishisho: Crane style. Gen performs a quick Jyasen, followed up by a Hyakurenko and a single Gekiro kick, sending the opponent flying. Gen pursues them and ends the combo with a vertical Oga, driving the opponent on the ground.

*Shitenshuu ("Death Point Curse"): Mantis style. Gen launches a Hyakurenko, striking four pressure points in the stomach. The first three freeze the opponent in place, and the fourth, called Shiketsu, is meant to kill themAll About Street Fighter ZERO 2. The game gives a different interpretation, showing the opponent receiving damage for ten seconds before being stunned.
*Kouga ("Lunatic Fang"): Crane style. Gen performs a more powerful version of the Oga: Gen will jump diagonally to the closest wall and perform up to four diving kicks, leaping each time to a different wall.
 
*Jyakoha ("Snake Biting Opening"): Crane style. Gen jumps forward into the air. If he comes into contact with an airborne opponent, he locks his legs around their neck and slams them into the ground while rapidly spinning, stomping both feet onto the opponent's head.
*Zan'ei ("Cruel Shadow"): Mantis style. Gen suddenly moves forward in an instant with his hand in a claw-like configuration and dashes through the opponent, which will suffer six hits consecutively in an istant.
*Zetsuei ("Severing Shadow"): Mantis style. Gen prepares as he would for the Zan'ei, and dashes forward, with his hand configured the same as the Zan'ei. Then Gen will continue to dash back and forth past his opponent; when Gen stops, the opponent will suddenly suffer a total of thirteen hits simultaneously.
*Shitenketsu ("Deadly Pressure Points"): Mantis style. Gen launches a flurry of Hyakurenko strikes. If any of these connect, Gen launches another flurry of strikes to various pressure points on the opponent's torso before hitting one final pressure point on the opponent's forehead. The opponent then crumples to the ground. This attack inflicts a massive amount of damage, but the opponent will suffer from it only in Gen hits them one more time. More time passes, less damage the opponent will receive if hit.
*Ryukoha ("Dragon Bite Opening"): Crane style. Gen jumps into the air. If he comes into contact with an airborne opponent, he performs a Jyakoha on them. When he lands, he keeps his feet around their neck and spins again, creating a small cyclone as he leaps into the air, bringing them with him.
*Teiga ("Howling Fang"): Crane style. While in the air, Gen delivers a slow-moving Oga kick toward the opponent. If this kick connects, he rapidly launches ten more from multiple directions and performs a finishing kick which hits square in the opponent's chest.
