*Additional Notes
Kasumi is a "Lightweight" character
PK is a good close-range poke on an opponent's block
You can substitute PKKK or PKK6K if 33P, BTH+K~K doesn't connect after a wall splat
9K is a good low crush option (along with having follow-ups)
If you'd like a mid launcher with better range than 7K or 33K, 3H+K can be used in their place
8P is a great "VF-style" low-crushing jumping mid punch
1P is a solid hi-crush which is good on CH (though bad on NH...)
33P is a hi-crushing/possibly-mid-crushing tracking launcher (which leaves you BT'ed and unsafe when blocked...)
