DOWN+K      -- Spinning sweep

G+A         -- Grab 1, grab around their waist and hoists them backwards 
               (Looks like Michelle's grab from Tekken)
G+B         -- Grab 2, she grabs the opponent by the neck from behind 
               then slices their throat

A+B+K       -- Automatic 4-hit combo if unblocked other wise she slices once.
               If you get this on the last hit, or near it she adds a few more
               slices at the end. **Note** This moves takes energy off of your
               flaming sword (block) meter.

up or UP+B  -- Ground Pounce

b+G+A       -- Counter: I have only been able to counter kicks with this.

Comments:

She also has a backflip.
