SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy/Kula Diamond

Gameplay Overview

Notable normal: cl.H - This is Kula’s usual two hit axe kick. In SNK Heroines, the 2nd hit actually groundbounces. You can hit this twice, but the second time, only the first hit will connect. This is an interesting normal as well since the first hit can be jump cancelled if you hit an opponent in the air (whether they’re being juggled or not), but not if it hits a grounded opponent.

Special Moves

5S

Diamond Breath 5S File:SNHK Kula 5S.png File:SNHK Kula 5SEX.png

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hit Tag Cancel Block Tag Cancel Spirit Gauge Cost Normal 90 - - - - - 25 24 1 Kula breathes a breath of cold air directly in front of her. It’s got pretty decent horizontal range. Knocks an enemy back if it hits. EX 100 - - - - - 45 43 0 This has slightly more horizontal range than the standard Diamond Breath attack, is faster, and if it hits, it puts the opponent in a crumple stun.

2S

Crow Bite 2S File:SNHK Kula 2S.png File:SNHK Kula 2SEX.png

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hit Tag Cancel Block Tag Cancel Spirit Gauge Cost Normal 120 (if both hit) - - - SKD - - - 1 Kula’s classic anti-air special move. This move’s two hits, and can be hit multiple times, if the opponent is high enough in the air for it. EX 150 - - - SKD - - - - This version of Crow Bite is three hits instead of two. As Kula goes up higher, and recovers slower than she would with the normal Crow Bite, following this one up with anything else would be very unlikely. It DOES grant some very brief startup invul, though.

4S

Psycho Reflector 4S File:SNHK Kula 4S.png File:SNHK Kula 4SEX.png

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hit Tag Cancel Block Tag Cancel Spirit Gauge Cost Normal 50 / 100 reflected projectile - - - SKD - SKD - 1 Kula does a wiping motion with her hand, with ice trailing the motion. While this can hit the opponent, its main use is in reflecting projectiles. Kula wipes away the projectile, then immediately kicks one of her own back at the enemy. In normal KOF games, the projectile Kula kicked back would be impossible to reflect back at her, and in many cases, could just beat other projectiles -- even supers. Here, the projectile she kicks back has normal properties, meaning it can be reflected back at Kula after she reflects something back. Be careful with this one. EX 75 / 100 reflected projectile - - - HKD 2 HKD 19 0 This has the same properties of the normal Counter Shell. It’s faster, though, and hits a bit harder.

j.S

Ray Spin 6S File:SNHK Kula 6s.png File:SNHK Kula 6sEX.png

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hit Tag Cancel Block Tag Cancel Spirit Gauge Cost Normal 60 - - - - - SKD - 1 ?? EX 106 9 - - SKD 1 SKD 17 0 EX Ray Spin: This version does two spinning kicks and takes Kula slightly higher into the air with them. For each version, Kula counts as being airborne, allowing her to go over some attacks. Regardless of which you do, there are two follow ups: Ray Spin - Stand (S after Ray Spin): Kula kicks her leg, sending a tub of ice cream (?!) encased in a snowflake at the opponent. Counting the initial Ray Spin kick, 129 damage. EX version, 154 damage. Ray Spin - Sit (2S after Ray Spin): Instead of sending out a projectile, Kula slides along the ground. If this connects, it pops the opponent up into the air. This can be followed up with a cl.H or a Crow Bite. This move can also be hit multiple times. 101 damage if both hits connect. 135 damage if the EX version fully connects, though it’s worth noting that the EX version can’t hit more than once.

Dream Finish

5D

Diamond Edge 5D File:SNHK Kula 5D1.png File:SNHK Kula 5D2.png

Damage Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hit Tag Cancel Block Tag Cancel Spirit Gauge Cost 350 - - - HKD - - - 4 Kula slams her hands against the ground, creating an ice spike that reaches up in a narrow, diagonally upward angle. As the look of the move would suggest, it’s solid for dealing with people jumping in at you. Even though this move does have some crazy solid invulnerability frames, be careful about using this move at random, since either blocking or a well-timed tag is all that’s needed to make this punishable.

2D

Frozen Arena 2D File:SNHK Kula 2D1.png File:SNHK Kula 2D2.png

Damage Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hit Tag Cancel Block Tag Cancel Spirit Gauge Cost 350 - - - HKD - - - 4 Kula slides along the ground, leaving frozen treats in her wake. Despite the way this move looks, it only hits twice. If you’re close to the opponent when it happens, Kula will actually slide past them. It’s pretty quick, so it can be a decent way to punish, or move out of a bad spot, if you have some sort of item to cover your trail so your opponent can’t follow up easily.

Combos

IAD = Instant Air Dash cl. = Close (i.e, doing a Light or Heavy normal right next to the opponent)

far. = Far (i.e, doing a Light or Heavy farther away from the opponent)

xx = Means you cancel into the next move immediately (i.e, 2S xx 5D)

~ = Means you press the next command immediately after (i.e, cl.H~2D)

jc. = Jump Cancel

dj. = Double Jump

walk() = This means you walk in the direction in the ()'s create the distance needed for the next move. So walk(4) means walk back, walk(6) means to walk forward.

dash = This means to dash to close distance.
