BNB combo. Both hits of c.D into 6A won't connect after a jump in. 214A ender gives 22C oki for less damage (243).

Requires a delay to get both hits of the 6B followup, but isn't very tough. 214A ender gives the hard knockdown but 22C oki is impossible in the corner and you still get a great knockdown from 623C, always take the damage.

Kula's 5B and 5C are long reaching, and 623C's fast forward movement means these are pretty consistent. Not optimal but nice for whiff punishes. f.C can be a hit-confirm.

Shatter Strike combo. Possible to do if the Shatter Strike hits airborne, but can be awkward. When in doubt, opt for a running 623C instead. If Kula is point blank with the opponent, 214D may not work properly. Just use a 623C in those cases as well.

Non-Corner
This is a very precise combo. 236236AC must be inputted slightly late at what seems to be the end of the cancel window for 236236B/D in order for all the hits to connect. It also must be inputted as 214214AC since Kula switches sides. Overall Kula is better off using Max mode confirms here for consistency.
Timing looks difficult but cancelling into 236236BD as soon as possible sets up the perfect timing for all the hits of 236236BD to connect. Causes a side switch midscreen. Optimal in the corner as well.
1st Character. cl.C can be used after the Quick Max for consistency. You can input 623C > 2141236CD as 632146C > 236CD for a shortcut. Otherwise perform 623C as early as possible and hold C to give yourself more time to input the Climax.
2nd Character. Delay the cancel into Climax slightly to ensure both hits of 236236B/D connect. You also must input the Climax in reverse. 236236A/C works fine too if the cancel is awkward for you.
