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.
