Gameplay Overview

Health: 950

A new challenger has entered the KOF series. Najd is a college student in the daytime, but at night, she is a caped crusader who fights crime. If you want to overwhelm your opponent with combos and you had enough of the base roster, Najd is the lady for you. Her damage output is crazy, a super that covers almost full screen, and of course, the elephant in the room, her dropkick. All this and more make Najd a deadly threat on the field

Normals

Standing

• st. A: This jab can stop incoming close hops. Chains into other standing and crouching light normals. Whiffs on crouching opponents.

• st. B: This kick has more range vertically and horizontally than st. A. Can hit crouching opponents.

• st. C: Najd stays stationary while performing a twisting back hand punch. Whiffs on crouching opponents

• st. D: Najd moves forward slightly while performing a round kick. Has more horizontal range than st. C and has a lower height vertically.

Close

• cl. A: A special cancel-able quick elbow that can chain from other standing/crouching light normals. Links into cl.C.

• cl. B: Not a low kick. Special cancel-able and can be chained from Najd’s other standing /crouching light normals.

• cl. C: Najd twirls around & hits the opponent 4 times. Special cancel-able on the 4th hit.

• cl. D: Hits twice. More damage than cl. C. Special cancel-able on the 1st or 2nd hit.

Crouching

• cr. A: This crouching jab can be chain into itself or other standing and crouching light normals. Special cancel-able as well

• cr. B: A chain-able crouching kick to be used to start combos starting low or as a short ranged poke

• cr. C: MK2 uppercut because it pops the opponent in the air. Can be special cancelled on block or on hit to juggle afterwards Moves Najd forward a bit. Terrible anti-air. Unsafe on block.

• cr. D: A sweep with good horizontal range. Special cancel-able.

Jumping

• j. A: Hits at a downward angle but lacks vertical range.

• j. B: This kick points towards the opponent, horizontally. Good for air-to-air. Can be low profiled if performed too early in her jump arc.

• j. C: Crosses up only.

• j. D: A deep angled jump-in attack or to jump away with defensively. Can be used as an instant overhead.

Blowback

• st. CD: A strong dark stab that moves Najd forward. Wall splats on hit, reliably into qcfx2+AC or last hit of her ex rekka string (qcf+AC, hcb+P, f+P)

• j. CD: Deep angled downward dark stab. Good for starting jump-in pressure or to use as an early air-to-air attack.
