==Introduction==
|caption=
Kula Diamond is a strawberry sorbet loving cybernetically modified human, crafted by the syndicate NESTS in order to exterminate K´. The results of such modifications do have their drawbacks, as she looks and behaves like a child, the cryokinesis she has acquired, allows her to instantly turn water molecules in the air into ice.
|name=Crow Bite (623A/C/AC)
 
|data=
After the destruction of NESTS, she teamed up with K´ and his allies. However, all of that came undone after a fight with K´, causing her to run away from the group. All alone, she was snatched up by Krohnen and Ángel, where she was added to their team.

C version is a reversal, moves very far forward so it's a bit awkward to anti-air with, and is also your main combo ender. EX version is higher damage and invincibility.

==Gameplay Overview==
 
==Normals==
===Far Standing Normals===
====Far A====
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|moveId=kula_sta
|description=  
* Does not whiff on crouching opponents.
Kula jabs her hand out with some freezing ice on it. Great range, stops hops well, and actually does not lose to crouching unlike many other far 5A normals. It can also cancel, so it's nice to use as a fast counterpoke.
}}
====Far B====
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|moveId=kula_stb
|description=
* Chainable from light normals
A far-reaching kick. Similar to far 5A in most ways, as it's also a good poke that can whiff punish well and doesn't whiff on crouchers.
}}
====Far C====
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|moveId=kula_stc
|description=
* Cancellable into any specials
Kula steps forward and hits with a big ball of ice. A bit slow on startup, but the forward movement allows it to hit outside of the range of 5A/5B and it can combo into more things than those can. More committal but higher reward neutral poke and pressure tool.
}}
====Far D====
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|moveId=kula_std
|description=
* Cannot be cancelled at all outside of quick max and supers.
Kula leans back and kicks forward. Less range than her other normals, but makes for a great anti-air thanks to the lean back and high hitbox.
}}
}}




===Close Standing Normals===
{{MoveData
====Close A====
|image=
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|caption=
|moveId=kula_cla
|name=Diamond Breath (236A/C/AC)
|description=
|data=
* Starts her Rush combo series
{{AttackData-KOFXV
A quick jab. Tied with cl.C and 2B for her fastest normal, and chains into other normals and her rush so it's nice to press in a scramble. Worse at anti-hop since the hitbox is quite low, so try to space out to get far 5A.
|damage=
}}
|stun=
====Close B====
|startup=
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|active=
|moveId=kula_clb
|recovery=
|description=
|hitAdv=
* 0 on hit
|blockAdv=
Kula does a backward spin kick. Doesn't seem to have much use, but can set up some gimmicky -2 into DP things.
|hitbox=
|invul=  
|description= An icy breath. Good for zoning and pressure, as it has great range and is relatively safe especially when spaced out. Essentially a fireball. A version is fairly standard, causes a knockdown on hit and can be used in combos. C version is much slower, very plus, and leaves them standing with enough plus frames to get a combo off depending on the range. EX version has the same range and speed as A, but causes a crumple on hit.
}}
}}
}}


====Close C====
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|moveId=kula_clc
|description=
* Both hits cancellable
Kula does a fast uppercut followed by a shoulder to the chest. Fast 2 hit heavy for hitconfirming, and the first hit reaches high enough and fast enough to be a close anti-air in the right situations.
}}


====Close D====
{{MoveData
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|image=
|moveId=kula_cld
|caption=
|description=
|name=Counter Shell (214A/C/AC)
* Both hits cancellable
|data=
A kick up followed by an axe kick down covered in ice. Kula's highest damage close normal, but the very short range and tendency to fall out makes it only really good when you can get both hits.
{{AttackData-KOFXV
|damage=
|stun=
|startup=
|active=
|recovery=
|hitAdv=
|blockAdv=
|hitbox=
|invul=
|description= Reflector. Kula swipes her hand down, and on collision with a projectile, deletes it and replaces it with her own icy fireball. A version sees more use in combos as an alternative ender for a hard knockdown and 22C setup, C version is not a hard knockdown, EX gives a juggle on hit but is very hard to combo into in juggles.
}}
}}
}}


===Crouch Normals===
====Crouch A====
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|moveId=kula_cra
|description=
Kula kicks upward slightly. Nice to help confirm light strings, and hits higher than 2B. Otherwise 2B is superior.
}}
====Crouch B====
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|moveId=kula_crb
|description=
* Can be whiff cancelled
A low kick, classic KOF move. Hits faster than her 2A, and from farther away. Great for long confirms, especially when chained into her long range 5B. Notably it's Kula's only whiff cancel.
}}
====Crouch C====
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|moveId=kula_crc
|description=
Kula freezes her hair and stabs it upwards. Another good anti-air, and used in conjunction with far 5D and her DP make her fairly good at stopping jumps. Cannot be cancelled however, so it doesn't do well in combos and punishes like some other 2Cs
}}
====Crouch D====
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|moveId=kula_crd
|description=
A great sweep. Cancelled into moves like 236C or 214BD it allows Kula to pressure from very far, and get in range for a 2B string combo.
}}


===Jump Normals===
====Jump A====
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|moveId=kula_ha,kula_ja
|name=jump A
|input=j.A
|description2= Kula puts her hand directly below her and freezes it. Can be an ambiguous crossup, but doesn't reach very far behind her. Still, this is your only crossup, so it has that much going for it.
}}
====Jump B====
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|moveId=kula_hb,kula_jb
|name=jump B
|input=j.B
|description2= A quick kick. Fast air-to-air, good to hop in place with these and create a wall. Not a great jump in as the hitbox is very high.
}}
====Jump C====
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|moveId=kula_hc,kula_jc
|name=jump C
|input=j.C
|description2= Kula freezes both hands and spikes her opponent. Beefy jump-in, hits very low making it great to punish whiffed sweep attempts but is a terrible air-to-air.
}}
====Jump D====
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|moveId=kula_hd,kula_jd
|name=jump D
|input=j.D
|description2= Kula swings her leg downward. More horizontal range than j.C but less vertical, nice to use if you aren't too sure you can land the j.C. Can be an air-to-air but is probably not the best option.
}}
===Blowback===
====Blowback====
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|moveId=kula_cd
|description=
* Cancellable, causes wall splat
Kula swings a huge ball of ice. Very fast CD, has similar range to her 5C but no forward movement and is not that bad on whiff. Throw this out as a fairly safe poke and pressure tool.
}}
====ShatterStrike====
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|moveId=kula_qcf+cd
|description=
*Causes crumple
Kula's shatter strike. Costs one bar but refunds 50% if hit. Much worse on whiff and block than CD, but can still be used in similar ways.
}}
====jump CD====
{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXV
|moveId=kula_hcd,kula_jcd
|name=jump CD
|input=j.CD
|description2= A spinning air kick. Hitbox doesn't actually start until the ice effect appears on her second leg, so the startup is quite slow. Hits all around her however, good at controlling air space and late hit jump mixups.

  |description= Kula freezes the opponent in ice before blowing them up. Hard knockdown, they get thrown just a bit too far for a 22C meaty setup but you can still safely summon it if you want it to zone with or run forward for a meaty jump in or 2B.
  |description= Spinning kicks. Main combo tool, as it gives good juggles and has 2 followups that allow some versatile combos. B version is part of her main BNB as it leaves them standing but it only hits once, D version hits twice and gives a good launch which makes it a bit better in the corner, and EX is a bit more of a utility as it's safer on block and the followups get some different abilities. EX is also fast enough to combo from lights.

Mostly, this is used in corner combos where the kick and fireball can both connect and allow for higher damage juggles. EX version is very fast, and leaves Kula plus on block.

A version summons close to Kula, C version summons far, and EX will summon 2 snowmen: one directly above the opponent wherever they are, and one slightly behind them.
