Answer throws a business card like a shuriken with his front hand, aiming it diagonally towards the floor.The card is indicated by a (一, Ichi?, lit. One) on the back of it and travels for 1/3 of the screen, while the is indicated by a (二, Ni?, lit. Two) and travels a little over 2/3 of the screen.
- Business Ninpo: Under the Rug (ビジネス忍法・雲隠れ, Bijinesu Ninpō: Kumogakure?, lit. Business Ninja-Art: Vanishing into the Clouds) - Answer disappears into a puff of smoke, then reappears while holding his scarf in front of the screen like a cape.
- Business Ninpo: Under the Bus (ビジネス忍法・覇権射忍, Bijinesu Ninpō: Haken Sha Nin?, lit. Business Ninja-Art: Hegemon's Sneak Shot) - Answer does a hand seal that summons a shadow clone with a ninja sword, jumping up a small distance for a rising slash before disappearing.
While both follow-ups can be used without needing to use Business Ninpo: Caltrops, their effects will not occur;
- Under the Rug will have Answer disappear on the spot.
- Under the Bus will only have Answer use the hand seal.
- - Both directly above Answer in a row.
- - Both in front of Answer in a row.
- - One in front of Answer, one slightly up.
- - One directly above answer, one in front of the opponent.
If Answer jumps into one of the seals, he takes its place, hovering in midair with a green glow - this becomes Savvy Ninpo: Seal of Approval (インテリ忍法・凡虚待, Interi Ninpō: Han Ko Matsu?, lit. Intellectual Ninja-Art: Common Empty Dependency).
- Savvy Ninpo: Data Logging (インテリ忍法・空蝉, Interi Ninpō: Utsusemi?, lit. Intellectual Ninja-Art: Cicada Shell) - Answer hops up and creates a green glyph behind him for a brief moment. If hit during that time, he substitutes himself out, then drops down feet-first atop his opponent with his arms crossed.
- Savvy Ninpo: Down the Ladder (インテリ忍法・雨降り, Interi Ninpō: Amakuderi?, lit. Intellectual Ninja-Art: Rainfall) - Answer rapidly drops down feet-first. This pushes the opponent back on a normal hit, and causes a hard knockdown during a combo.
- Savvy Ninpo: Stepping Down (インテリ忍法・疾脚, Interi Ninpō: Shikkyaku?, lit. Intellectual Ninja-Art: Quick Legs) - Answer disappears into smoke, then drops to the floor to do a slide kick with his front leg, tripping the opponent up.
- Savvy Ninpo: Into my Office (インテリ忍法・迦汰蛇滝, Interi Ninpō: Ka Ta Da Taki?, lit. Intellectual Ninja-Art: Weeding out the Heavy Drinkers) - Answer leaps forward, swiping his rear hand down to slash his opponent overhead with a business card to push them back.

Resshou (冽掌, Resshō?, lit. Cold Palm) was first introduced in Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2.
Answer steps forward while thrusting both hands to either side of him. Unlike Chipp's version, Answer doesn't have ki infuse his front hand, nor does he use his whole palm - rather keeping his index & middle fingers up while curling his other fingers into his palm.Furthermore, Answer's Resshou doesn't have the follow-ups like Chipp, but this version is marginally faster.

- A sealed action figure of himself.
- A plush doll of himself.
- A tanuki plush that's wearing his spectacles & white tie.
- A wooden caricature doll of Chipp.

Firesale can also be done in the air, though it skips the cinematic and the projectiles are aimed diagonally downwards.
Additionally, Firesale has a Burst version, which increases the damage output.
Summoner: The Basilisk (口寄せ・大型神陣, Kuchiyose: Ōgata Shinjin?, lit. Summoning: Large-Scale God Array) is Answer's first and only Instant Kill, first - and last appearing in Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2.
