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

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.

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.
