Kula Diamond/Move List

Overview


Kula is a Rushdown Character who uses her projectiles and pokes to keep her opponents out, while also using her powerful normals to keep opponents locked down. Her ability to swap playstyles depending on her match-up is her best quality. Her main downside is her ability to convert meter into damage. Because of this she is most commonly played on point.



Kula is an excellent point character thanks to several factors. Her incredible meter gain, good neutral buttons, strong reversal and overall excellent Okizeme and pressure tools make her effective regardless of the matchup. The versatility inherent in her kit makes her great for contesting against any other point archetype, whether that be a speedy rushdown, annoying zoner, or close-range grappler. This makes it very easy to slot her into a point position and reap all the possible benefits while deploying more specialized characters on the mid and anchor positions, without worrying about team stability.

Despite building tons of meter, Kula barely uses any of it for her combos, which have good reward and Okizeme without meter. As a result she can spend small amounts of meter in other places to enhance her gameplan while still stocking up for her mid and anchor.
