Console changes
- s.B adjusted. Compared to the arcade, Kula now moves forward giving the move greater range.
- Recovery on df.B improved
- EX Ray Spin no longer invincible
- EX Ray Spin Sit recovery improved
- EX Diamond Edge is faster
- Freeze execution adjusted. Faster and follow-up hitbox improved.
- EX Counter shell has a stronger hitbox
Producer Yamamoto: '"Both supers expending 2 meters have become more powerful. Both make Kula invincible and are good for interrupting opponents or as anti-airs. Her use of meter has increased, so she has become a character that will test meter management skills. It may be fun using the wire damage on counter hit on her EX counter shell."'
Character Summary
Having the most anti-projectile skills in the game, Kula excels at dealing with zoners. Her Counter Shell is capable of reflecting almost all projectiles, including level 1 and 2 projectile DMs, though precise timing is required to make the most of this skill. Ray Spin's f+B followup projectile will also cut through almost all single hit projectiles (including DMs). Though not able to control space as well as previous KOF games, her speed, frametraps, excellent hit confirms, great pokes and corner-carrying combos make her a strong competitor.
Pros
- As noted above, Kula's anti-projectile game is top notch. If the player's reactions are fast enough they can counter almost all projectiles thrown at them, however there are risks. It should be noted that Kula's taunt also blocks projectiles and recovers fairly quickly, though its framedata isn't available yet.
- Generous hit confirms, namely st.C (2 hit), st.C->f+A and cr.Bx2 st.B. These allow her ample time to decide the best course of action, be it a simple bnb or a full HD combo.
- She is able to convert many specials into combos, especially in the corner. Ray Spin, Diamond Breath and Counter Shell (on counter hit) can act as stand alone combo starters.
- Her combos can carry from corner to corner.
- Intense corner pressure.
- Builds meter quickly.
- B. All B's. 'Nuff said. (Just kidding, see the Normals section).
Cons
- A relatively weak anti-air game. Her Crow Bites move her forward and have enormous recovery on block or whiff. Her cr.C is -17 on block/whiff, making it full combo punishable. This is especially dangerous versus characters with high jump arcs like Benimaru and Athena where the opponent may crossup while being too high for cr.C to hit.
- Accidental inputs, notably Slider Shoot when being crossed up, can result in suicide.
- C Crow Bites, when hitting a crouching opponent, can partially whiff and leave Kula open to a full combo.
- Few crossup options.
- Poor mixup options outside of fundamentals.
Normals
Notes:
- For complete framedata see the Move Metadata chart near the bottom of the page.
Standing
st. A: 25 damage, cancellable/chain-able, hits mid.
A quick jab capable of anti-airing short hops. Inferior to st.B both in range and frames. Chainable into itself, cr.A, cr.B and st.B.
Kara Cancel Dirtiness:
st.A can be cancelled into itself far more many times than ordinarily allowed by pressing A, then quickly mashing A+C. 13 hits are possible of just st.A alone with a fast enough turbo. Also possible to perform by pressing A, then mashing A and C+D simultaneously. Video example.
st. B: 30 damage, cancellable, hits mid.
Kula's most valuable poke, st.B has great range, is faster than st.A and just as capable of anti-airing short hops. It's -2 on block and has pushback, making it safe against just about everything if properly spaced. Liberal use of this move is strongly encouraged.
st. C: 80 damage, cancellable, hits mid.
Kula moves forward, throws out her fist and extends its range with an icicle. If it connects she can cancel into the combo of her choice. Valuable if properly spaced, but risky due to the 14 frame startup.
st. D: 25x2 damage, hits mid.
Kula turns around and throws out a backwards heel. Capable of anti-airing though not especially efficient at it. A 10 frame startup and -12 frame disadvantage on block make it a very risky choice since it can't be cancelled.
cl. C: 55 + 25 damage, cancellable, hits mid.
Kula uppercuts then elbows the opponent. Connects twice, making it an easy hit confirm, though it does less damage than cl.C(1)->f+A. Very fast 4 frame startup.
cl. D: 55 + 25 damage, cancellable, hits mid.
Kula throws her leg above her head then swings it back down. Hits twice like cl.C but has a 7 frame startup. Can anti-air, unlike cl.C.
Crouching
cr. A: 25 damage, cancellable, hits mid.
Kula leans back on her hands and does a single lame kick. In a word, useless. Avoid this stinker as it's not chainable.
cr. B: 30 damage, cancellable/chain-able, hits low.
Kula hunkers down and throws out a very fast backwards low kick. 4 frame startup and neutral on block. Chainable into itself, cr.A, st.A and st.B.
cr. C: 70 damage, hits mid.
Kula freezes her hair and thrusts it upward at a diagonal angle. Acts as a crouching anti-air. 5 frame startup but -17 on block.
Risky if not used carefully.
cr. D: 80 damage, cancellable, hits low.
Kula sweeps the opponent, leading to a knockdown on hit. 8 frame startup. Cancellable into all specials.
Jumping
j. A: 45 (40) damage, hits overhead.
Kula jumps and aims downward with a small ice crystal in her hands. 7 frame startup. A miniature version of j.C with shorter blockstun. Useful against grounded opponents, but not for air to air.
j. B: 45 (40) damage, hits overhead.
Kula leaps up and does a long horizontal kick. Her best air to air with a 7 frame startup. Will whiff against crouching opponents.
j. C: 72 (70) damage, hits overhead.
Nearly the same as j.A except the crystal is much bigger and delivers more blockstun. An excellent air to ground move, but a poor choice for air to air. 13 frame startup.
j. D: 70 (68) damage, hits overhead.
Kula jumps up and does a heavy swing of her leg at a downward angle. Slightly more horizontal than j.C, but mainly meant for air to ground. Can crossup crouching opponents. 6 frame startup.
Blowback Attack
st. CD: 75 damage, whiff/cancellable, hits mid.
Kula extends her hand and forms a large sphere of ice. Capable of anti-airing and useful as a whiff cancel cover for other specials. 18 frame startup and +4 on block.
j. CD: 90 (80) damage, hits mid.
Kula jumps and flips her leg in a half crescent arc. Decent at both air to air and air to ground, but with a considerably longer 16 frame startup.
GCCD: 10 damage, hits mid.
Kula knocks the opponent away with a large sphere of ice. -15 on block.
Throw
b/f + C/D = Ice Coffin
- Can be broken
- Hit Detection: Close
- Damage: 13x7+40
- Hard knockdown
Kula encases the opponent in a giant crystal of ice, then shatters it. Causes a hard knockdown that allows Kula a few options, like ambiguous rolls or meaty Diamond Breaths that can give up to +11 frames of advantage.
Command Moves
f + A = One Inch Punch
- Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 70(50)
Kula extends both fists forward. If it connects it will crumple the opponent, leaving them open to a followup hit. Can be comboed into from st.C and st.D, creating a more damaging hit confirm than st.C/D(2 hit). Note that One Inch is not cancellable into from st.D if performed off a jump-in.
df + B = Slider Shoot
- Hit Detection: Low
- Damage: 80
Kula slides low to the ground on a frozen trail of ice. Hits low and can be linked from light attacks. Can slide under many, but not all projectiles. 8 frame startup and -13 on block if performed at close range, but only -2 at max range.
Special Moves
dp + A/C = Crow Bites
(EX) = dp + AC
- Drive/Super Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 70(40)/70(60)+60/100+60(40)+40
Kula launches herself skyward with her fist trailing ice. A classic anti-air DP, but one of the weaker ones in the game. The A version has a 6 frame startup, poor vertical coverage and moves her forward considerably. The C version has a 4 frame startup with minor invincibility and reaches a greater height while traveling fullscreen. Note that the C version can partially whiff against crouching opponents, leaving Kula open to a full punish. Can be drive and super cancelled on the first hit. The A version is -31 on block, C is -48. Use with extreme caution.
More information about dp+C whiffing crouchers, courtesy of No Limitz: "You could still hit a crouching opponent with C Crow Bite if you space it far enough so that the first hit is the air hit instead of the ground hit. (c.B x 3, s.B xx C DP from point blank works but c.B x 2, s.B doesn't)"
EX Crow Bites: Nearly identical to C Crow Bites, but with a 3 frame startup, more invincibility and more damage. -48 on block.
qcf + A/C = Diamond Breath
(EX) = qcf + AC
- Super Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 60/70/120
Kula blows an icy mist in front of her. The A version can be comboed into, has a 19 frame startup and is neutral on block, making it the go-to safe move for ending blockstrings since it has pushback. The C version has slightly longer range, a 33 frame startup and is +3 on block, but cannot be comboed into. Instead it creates a stagger state in the opponent that allows for followup combos. Note that the frame advantage for both versions can be increased significantly if performed while the opponent is waking up, as only the tail-end of the animation will connect while the blockstun remains the same.
EX Diamond Breath: 16 frame startup and can be comboed into. Causes a crumple state that allows single hit followups, most notably C Diamond Breath as it creates a juggle that can be further comboed off of. +7 on block.
qcb + A/C = Counter Shell
(EX) = qcb + AC
- Drive/Super Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 45/80 80/50x3
Kula swipes her hand in front of her with a trail of ice. If it connects with a projectile it will retaliate through it with one of her own. Counters most level 1 and 2 projectile DMs, regardless if they're multi-hitting or not (examples: Takuma's level 2 Haohshikouken, King's Double Strike, and Saiki's Tokoyami no Fune). Exceptions include Joe's level 2 Screw Upper and possibly others that will be listed as they're found.
If it connects with the opponent it will cause a hard knockdown. If it connects as a counter-hit to a melee attack it will counter-wire the opponent and allow for followup combos. 5 frame startup, -11 on block.
EX Counter Shell: Functionally identical with the exception of a faster 3 frame startup, -7 block disadvantage and increased damage of both the swipe and retaliatory projectile.
qcb + B/D = Ray Spin
(EX) = qcb + BD
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 30/30x2/60x2
Kula leaves the ground in a ballerina twirl, swinging her leg around her. The B version stays closer to the ground while the D version will launch her higher. Be aware that if performed too close the D version will travel harmlessly above a crouching player. B version has a 15 frame startup and is -7 on block, while the D version has a 17 frame startup and is -3 on block (or -1 if hitting a crouching player).
(After Ray Spin)∟ f + B (Standing)
- Drive/Super Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 20+30/45+80
This followup launches a crystal of ice at the opponent. It's capable of piercing through most known projectiles, including level 1 and 2 DMs, though this is impossible to do on reaction due to Ray Spin's startup. Useful if you can read your opponent and for controlling space by denying further projectiles, but risky as it requires Kula move forward with Ray Spin. 10 frame startup and -1 on block (beware of instant grabs if performed too close).
This followup cannot be used with Ray Spin D if it doesn't connect with the opponent (guarding or otherwise).
(After Ray Spin)∟ f + D (Sitting)
- Drive/Super Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: Low
- Damage: 30/90
This Slider Shoot followup makes Kula slide on the ground, attacking the opponent low and launching them for juggle if it hits. Note that this will NOT connect if Ray Spin hits an airborne opponent or if performed with the D version not connecting with the opponent at all. 6 frame startup and -8 on block.
EX Ray Spin: A medium height Ray Spin with a faster 12 frame startup and more damage. Capable of being linked from light attacks. This version can use the Sitting (Slider Shoot) followup regardless of the opponent's airborne status. +1 on block, making it safe against grabs.
Desperation Moves
qcf x2 + A/C = Diamond Edge
(EX) = qcf x2 + AC
- Max Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 210/80x4
Kula slams her icy fists into the ground and creates a pillar of ice in front of her at a diagonal angle. An alright anti-air if anticipated early as it has a very slow 45 frame startup. -24 on block, but has significant pushback.
EX Diamond Edge: Four times the fun with four times the pillars. This version has a faster 36 frame startup, covers more ground and deals more damage, but will lose much of it when executed in the corner as the pillars will go harmlessly off screen. -37 on block but has less pushback than the regular, so beware.
hcb x2 + A/C = Freeze Execution
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 100+15x12
Foxy or Diana help Kula cheat by flying across the screen at ground level to intercept the opponent. If they connect, they knock the opponent into the air where Kula unleashes a short but violent blizzard. 40 frame startup and -62 on block/whiff, but Kula is invincible during the animation itself. Useful in reaction to projectiles.
Neomax
hcb x2 + BD = Neo Freeze Execution
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 100+70x2+15x2
Foxy and Diana help Kula cheat even more by tagteaming the opponent if they connect. Each takes a turn piercing the victim while referencing Mohammed Ali's "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." Afterward, Kula unleashes a more powerful blizzard on the still airborne opponent. 35 frame startup and -48 on block, but like Freeze Execution she is invincible during the animation, making this an option vs projectiles among other things.
Combos
Notes:
- Most combos (except those starting with lows) are listed with a jump-in. Expect less damage if initiated from the ground.
- All instances of cr.Bx2 st.B can be done as cr.Bx3 (or cr.Bx3 st.B if deep enough). The former may be easier for some players as it allows the directional input to go neutral for the next command.
- Corner only combos can only be finished in the corner, however many will carry the opponent a decent distance before they end. Experiment to gauge how far your combos will carry.

Relatively easy to perform with practice and carries from corner to corner. Forms the basis for some of the following HDs. For those rare situations where she has full drive but no meter and absolutely must kill the opponent. In other words, you won't be using this very often.
3 Stock
801 damage, carries from corner to corner:
j.C, st.C, f+A (HDA) st.C, f+A, qcb+B~f+D, dp+A (DC) qcb+D, dp+C (DC) qcb+D, qcb+B~f+B, dp+A (DC) qcb+D, qcfx2+P (MC) hcbx2+BD
Starts off like the combo above, but uses meter to deal respectable damage. Because it's a fullscreen carry it can be considered a go-to option when retaliating from anywhere past halfscreen. It's also fairly short as far as HDs go, meaning less room for error.
4 Stock
903 damage, corner only:
j.C, st.C, f+A, qcf+AC, f+A (HDA) f+A, dp+A (DC) qcb+D, qcb+B~f+B, dp+A (DC) qcb+D, qcb+B~f+B, dp+A (DC) qcb+D, qcfx2+P (MC) hcbx2+BD
This combo can be tough as there are multiple reasons it can fail. The first would be Kula moving too far in on her HD activation of f+A. If she's too deep the dp+A (DC) qcb+D will miss or not hit properly. It will also miss if the opponent is too low or too high when the DP hits. Once succeeding in the first part, you will need to keep the loop going by using qcb+B's followup at a specific height (slightly higher than dead center). Once rhythm is established, the rest should be fairly easy.
871 damage, corner only:
j.C, st.C, f+A (HDA) st.C, f+A, qcf+AC, qcf+C, qcb+D, qcb+B~f+B, dp+A (DC) qcb+D, qcb+B~f+B, dp+A (DC) qcb+D, qcfx2+P (MC) hcbx2+BD
A much easier and safer option than the combo above, this one requires very little timing to keep going.
814 damage, corner only, half-stage carry:
j.C, st.C, f+A (HDA) st.C, f+A, qcb+BD, qcb+B~f+B, dp+A (DC) qcb+D, qcb+B~f+B, dp+A (DC) qcb+D, qcfx2+P (MC) hcbx2+BD
Another safer option that requires little timing and has the added benefit of a longer carry.
5 Stock
906 damage, corner only, half-stage carry:
j.C, st.C, f+A (HDA) st.C, f+A, dp+C (DC) qcf+AC, dash if necessary, dp+C (DC) qcf+AC, dash if necessary, qcb+B~f+B, dp+A (DC) qcb+D, qcfx2+P (MC) hcbx2+BD
This one can be a little tricky without input shortcuts. When doing dp+C (DC) qcf+AC, try holding forward and pressing A+C after the DP instead of doing qcf. This should allow you to easily drive cancel the DP into EX Diamond Breath. The other tricky part is successfully timing the dp+A (DC) qcb+D to hit properly. Remember to use the qcb+B followup on the opponent when they're slightly higher than dead center and you should be able to succeed.
Strategies
(Work In Progress)
Long Range
Kula doesn't pose much of a threat at long range, but she does have some options. Counter Shell is safest at this range and Diamond Breath can be used to cover the space in front of her (or negate normal projectiles without the risk of mistiming Counter Shell). She can throw a projectile with Ray Spin B's Standing followup, but is forced to move forward and put herself at risk of air attacks. Ray Spin D travels half-screen and can get her closer to where she needs to be, but it loses to many air attacks and cannot use its Sitting/Standing followups if it doesn't connect with the opponent. Her Desperation Moves (and DPs) work nicely at this distance, as Diamond Edge's slow startup is less of a problem since you will have more time to react to the opponent moving in, and Freeze Execution is excellent at punishing projectiles. Her overall goal at this distance should be to the gap, unless she is on the defensive in which case liberal use of st.CD and Diamond Breath can be used to prevent the opponent from getting in easily.
Mid Range
Kula's mid range game is very similar to her long range. All of the same options and disadvantages apply, but to a greater extent as the safety of her moves is lessened by the opponent's ability to punish more easily with a jump-in. Diamond Breath will miss at this range and leave Kula open. Counter Shell can be punished more easily. Ray Spin B will miss but can still be followed up on. Ray Spin D is a little more practical at this distance and has a better chance of beating air to airs (due to the hitbox remaining higher before hitting the opponent), but it cannot be followed up with Sitting without EX when hitting an airborne opponent. Again, as with long range, Kula must make it a priority to close the gap as best she can (usually through j.B, Slider Shoot or gradual ground advancement), or defend herself from enemy approaches with careful use of her pokes and anti-airs.
Close Range
This is where Kula wants to be. Her quick pokes, great hitconfirms and the devastatingly low hitbox of j.C give her great power in opening most opponents up despite her lack of crossups and standing overhead mixups. Fundamentals (like tick throws, empty hops into throws, empty hops into lows, and general high/low mixup) are what she uses to get the job done. She can pester the opponent with st.B which can be confirmed into EX Ray Spin, or use Diamond Breath to give safety to her blockstrings or keep the opponent pinned in the corner.
Cornered Opponent
The best place for any opponent and Kula's corner-carrying combos make sure it will eventually happen. Once the opponent is cornered she can keep them there with relative ease. St.B's range, speed and safety make it easy to pester with, while neutral j.B is excellent at stopping opponents from jumping out. Diamond Breath and Ray Spin act as stand-alone combo starters here. Diamond Breath C while the opponent is waking up can give enormous frame advantage, in effect giving Kula an almost free jump-in versus many characters (beware of EX reversals). St.CD can be a good option when properly spaced as it anti-airs and can be whiff cancelled into Diamond Breath for more pressure. As mentioned above, use fundamentals to break the opponent's mental game, then capitalize with your most practical combos.
Cornered
Not the best place for Kula to be as her anti-air options are very dangerous to use in this situation. St.B is her best hop defense and should be used as much as possible to push the opponent away. EX Ray Spin->Standing, if it connects against a blocking opponent, is safe and creates a lot of pushback, giving some more room for Kula to breathe. The B version can accomplish the same thing at the risk of being instant thrown before the projectile comes out. Slider Shoot can slide under an aerial attacker and allow her to escape. Be very patient and do your best to counter poke the opponent until you have sufficient room to go on the offensive.

Best Team Position?
Highly subjective. Kula builds meter quickly so some people use her as a battery on point, relying mainly on basic but decently damaging combos. Some prefer her middle as she can efficiently use drive cancels while still saving/building meter for the anchor. As an anchor herself she can do respectable damage with HDs and has great hitconfirms to initiate them. Because of her versatility in placement she can be used to counter specific matchups (like zoners) or moved around to avoid bad matchups. To put it simply, place her wherever you're most comfortable.
