Gameplay Overview

Kukri is a newcomer to the series with surprisingly basic gameplay with some small twists. He has a ground fireball, a multihit kick, an overhead and lastly a sand teleport. Kukri is a simple character suitable for beginners, but he does have tricky corner combos and mixups to maybe sate a veteran too. He does lack enough in some areas to not be called an all-rounder.

Strengths: + A fine projectile + Easy basic combos + A confusing and unique sand clone teleport + Overheads + Nice air-to-airs

Weaknesses: - Weak in the antiair department - No proper reversal outside super - Lackluster jump-ins - A bit incomplete with pokes

Normals

Standing

st. A: jab that can anti-air incoming hops. Whiffs on crouching opponents.

st. B: This high & wide ranged side kick can stop incoming hops. Whiffs on close crouching opponents

st. C: Slow back-fist that looks like Kyo’s st. C. Can be used to stop incoming hops early on.

st. D: A cancel-able low hitting slide that lowers Kukri a bit. -13F on block with a good amount of pushback.

Close

cl. A: A light smack. Special cance-able & chain-able into other crouching and standing light normals. 1F on block.

cl. B: Lower height than st. B, neutral on block. Special cancel-able.

cl. C: Kukri performs two flamboyant spinning slaps. Both hits are special cancel-able. Great and easy hit confirm.

cl. D: This roundhouse kick isnt cancel-able, has a very close activation range isn’t fast enough to be used to hit opponents jumping over Kukri’s head. Instead it counts as being airborne so you can blow up wakeup throws.

Crouching

cr. A: Special cancellable and can chain into itself and other crouching and standing normals.

cr. B: Special cancellable footsies tool & low combo starter. Chain cancellable.

cr. C: A ground poke that is special & whiff cancellable.

cr. D: Special & whiff cancellable sweep. Good at pressuring opponents. Can low profile certain fireballs.

Jumping

j. A: A short range special cancellable downward angled palm thrust

j. B: This horizontal long range kick can be used as an air-to-air but whiffs on crouching opponents

j. C: Kukri does a weird looking finger stab that has almost no horizontal range. Can be used as a jump-in attack

j. D: A jump-in attack that can cross-up standing opponents at the right angle.

Blowback

st. CD: Kukri performs a wild, spinning hopping smack. Has some lower body invulnerability during the smack.

j. CD: An air to air tool used to pressure the opponent. Can be used to pressure grounded opponents as well.

Throws

Miken Funsai - (b/f+C) close

Kukri jumps on top of the opponents back and shoulders, the blasts sand in their face. The opponent is knocked back a half screen distance away.

Soft knockdown

Bakkonsai - (b/f+D) close

Kukri slides behind the opponent then trips them. The opponent lands a half screen distance away.

Soft knockdown

Command Moves

Fussa Ken - (f+A)

A funky looking spinning chop with full cancelability. Important combo tool.

Special Moves

Nessa Jin - (qcf + A/C)

Kukri’s ground fireball. It’s a big part of his gameplay as you can use it to force people to jump/hop over it. Also grants a juggle in corner combos. Both versions do the same damage. Neither one travels fullscreen

A: The slower sand projectile which is plus on block from all ranges except point blank. Travels about half a screen.

C: The faster and further traveling version which is slightly more disadvantage, but still a great move.

EX: Two-hitting and even faster version of the projectile that travels fullscreen.

Nessa Senpuu - (qcf + B/D)

B version: Shorter startup and is safe.

D version: Long startup. -10F on block with a fair amount of pushback. Super cancelable.

EX: This is the main combo part mentioned before. On hit it gives a CD-like wall bounce. -5F on block with fair amount of pushback when blocked mid-screen. Easier to punish if blocked in the corner.

Bossa-Shougeki - (qcb + B/D)

A jumping somersault kick which hits overhead. The initial leap is quick to avoid lows or bad meaties (but not immune to them). Due to the long startup it’s easily avoidable on reaction so use sparingly.

B version: Kukri jumps up where he stands and lands with a kick to the head. Knocks down on hit. Very unsafe on block.

D version: Similar to the light version, but instead of jumping in place Kukri goes about 1-2 characters’ width forward. This version is quite safe on block, but still easily countered if you thrown willy-nilly.

EX: Faster than D Bossa, traveling slightly shorter. On hit it gives a ground bounce which allows for a follow-up.

Air • Bossa-Shougeki - (in air) (qcb + B/D)

Instead of leaping up since Kukri is already in the air, he does a shorter somersault into the same kick. This can be tiger kneed which makes it tremendously more powerful as an overhead. Due to being a jump attack, it has variable frame advantage too.

B version: Short hop version and faster startup. Has overhead properties. Knocks down on hit.

D version: Longer startup. Has overhead properties. Knocks down on hit.

EX: Similar to the ground version, this also grants a ground bounce.

Genei Sajin - down, down + A/B/C/D

A sand teleport. Kukri melds into a sand statue of himself and emerges in the desired position. The sand clone he leaves behind will become a hit and doesn’t go away even if Kukri is interrupted.

A: Teleports about one character width forward.
B: Teleports in place.
C: Teleports half a screen forward.
D: Teleports backwards

EX: Pressing both punches will initiate a line of three sand Kukris with the last one being Kukri himself. The distance traveled being the same as C-teleport. Pressing kicks will summon two sand clones on both sides of the opponent and the third one in place while Kukri himself teleports slightly forward if done from afar and away if done next to the opponent.

Super Special Moves

Nessa Goku Totsuha - (qcf, qcf + B/D)

Kukri becomes a sand Psycho Crusher. A solid advancing multihitter and his main damage super. Highly unsafe if blocked. Advance canceling this into Nessa Goku Fujin is not recommended in the midscreen.

There is no distinction between buttons. Kukri drills for 5 hits and a hard knockdown.

Max: A bigger cinematic version of the same move with more hits and damage. Takes the opponent from the middle of the stage to the corner.

Nessa Goku Fujin - (qcf, qcf + A/C)

A trap/mixup super of some sort as Kukri leaps up in the air and brings down a rain of sand. It has a long startup and is hard to combo. Hits OTG though. Advance canceling into Nessa Goku Totsuha is more efficient if possible.

A version: Brings the shower right in front of him.

C version: The sands will fall from fullscreen away.

Max: Fully tracking multiple sand showers that hit OTG. Canceling into this from the drill super will cause it to whiff altogether unless done in the corner..
