Traits

When you charge 2[E] or 5[E], you have super armor added to the charged up portion

When you use 6D (regular, Homing cancel, AND guard cancel), you have a super armor shield around you the whole time (you can hold the D button as long as you like). However, the startup for it is 80% slower than a normal 6D, so you cannot combo off of 2C into a quick jab like you would normally be able to. In addition, the guard cancel forward timing is a lot slower than normal, meaning you can get hit out of things that you would normally be able to guard cancel through easily. But once the super armor comes, it absorbs many attacks.

When backdashing with 44 on the ground, if the opponent hits you during the backdash frames, instead of hitting you, they hit a "shadow" of you and they cannot cancel their move.

Holding down 5E or 2E will perform the move, but the "shadow" disappears and no move comes out. However, letting go of a button will make "shadow" appear and attack from where you held the 5E or 2E. If you get hit, your "shadow" disappears. The shadow 5E and 2E will NOT be unblockable in the air or break the opponent's guard like normal 5E and 2E's.

Instead of the normal 6D, when you do 6D, your character teleports across the screen. This allows many ground 6D combo's to fail, so beware as many characters have to change their B&B combo when using Time.
