Quick Guide

Eiji is a very fast character with very strong pressure but very short range and sub-par defense.
He has generally bad defense due to his short-ranged normals & bad reversals, with his teleports being the only decent option.
He is terrible for shift combos, both to and from, and should therefore be played solely as a point "battery" type of character.

Neutral

In neutral, Eiji can poke with 236A/C, which has a strong hitbox and leads to a wall bounce on counter hit.
Approaching the opponent is somewhat difficult due to Eiji's limited normal range, but j.E should be used from far away, in combination with his teleports, which have upper / lower body invulnerability (see frame data).
If Eiji has meter, he can constantly threaten using his projectile super to punish jumps, even from full screen.

Offense

(Small)jump j.B is a brutally fast and strong jump in that can also crossup, and a mainstay of Eiji's pressure.
2A gives massive frame advantage and links both into 5C and 2D(1). It is frequently used in blockstrings.
Reflector (623P) has no pushback and gives massive frame advantage on block, which makes it great for blockstrings, eg. 2A,2A,reflector, walk forward, 2A, reflector, smalljump B... etc, up to a point where this is pseudo-infinite pressure against some characters in the corner (they have to roll, guard cancel or backdash & take the hit)
Teleports can be used as left/right okizeme, eg. after a midscreen combo that ends with 236P

Defense

Use 5A(f) to stop smalljumps - at only 4F startup, the attack is extremely fast.
Eiji's 2D is a very strong anti-air that unfortunately does not lead to much damage, but can be canceled into teleport to immediately cross the opponent up.
2C can also be used as an anti-air for slightly more damage, the same cancel opportunity but a weaker hitbox
jump up j.B is a very strong air-to-air, famously dubbed the "artificial leg" due to its animation by the Japanese players
Eiji's teleports can be used as reversals due to their upper / lower body invulnerability (see frame data).
