OverviewStrategyDataCombosReplays

Kula Diamond is a strawberry sorbet loving cybernetically modified human, crafted by the syndicate NESTS in order to exterminate K'. The results of such modifications do have their drawbacks, as she looks and behaves like a child, the cryokinesis she has acquired, allows her to instantly turn water molecules in the air into ice.
After the destruction of NESTS, she teamed up with K' and his allies. However, all of that came undone after a fight with K', causing her to run away from the group. All alone, she was snatched up by Krohnen and Ángel, where she was added to their team.

Gameplay Overview

Kula Diamond is a well-rounded character who wants to use 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.
Pros Cons
  • Point Princess: 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.
  • Strong Neutral: Kula's B normals reach ridiculously far for their speed, and her air normals allow her to contest airspace very well. She also has numerous anti-zoning tools like Crow Bite and especially Counter Shell. Ray Spin lets her high-profile numerous low pokes too.
  • Meter Economy: 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.
  • Corner-Carry of the Gods: Kula's corner carry is very good, arguably the best in the game, and she does not sacrifice Okizeme or pressure for getting it.
  • Low Damage: Kula's greatest weakness is her low damage. While her reward from combos is good, they top out in terms of damage very fast, even with meter extensions. Similarly, her reliance on her B normals for poking means it is difficult for her to get any sizeable reward from neutral exchanges. Overall, Kula can find it difficult to get any kind of meaningful damage out of her kit without heavy investment and risk, relegating her to a low-damage (but effective) style of play.
  • Slow: Kula's run speed is very slow, and her jump arcs also similarly very slow. This makes it very easy for opponents to stuff air approaches and necessitates she fight on the ground.

  • Can hit crouchers.

Kula jabs her hand out with some freezing ice on it. Great range, stops hops well, and does not whiff on crouching unlike many other far 5A normals. It can also cancel, so it's nice to use as a fast counterpoke. Overshadowed, however, by f.B.

  • Chainable from light normals
  • Can hit crouchers

A far-reaching kick. Better than f.A in almost every way, doing 5 more damage, starting up 1f faster, recovering 1f faster, but slightly shorter. A good poke that can whiff punish well and hits crouchers as well as hops. Incredible button.

70 Mid command 13 4 21 -4 -6 - 70 120
  • Special Cancellable

Kula steps forward and hits with a big ball of ice. Slow startup, but the forward movement allows it to hit outside of the range of 5A/5B, catch back tech rolls and cancel into specials. Unfortunately none of Kula's special moves have enough range to consistently combo from f.C at all ranges, which can leave Kula very wide open if she whiffs a special. Normally a far cancellable heavy is a strong tool to have, but the inconsistency and speed makes this risky to use. You can cancel into 3D and that works consistently, but the reward is minimal and is unsafe if spaced incorrectly.

70 Mid special 10 6 18 -2 -4 - 70 120

Kula leans back and kicks forward. Less range than her other normals, but makes for a good pre-emptive anti-air thanks to the lean back and high hitbox. Too slow to use on reaction. Cancellable into specials, though 214B and 236A will whiff at max range. 214D generally connects though.

A low kick, classic KOF move. 4f start-up, chainable, and great range. Great for long confirms. Most notably is Kula's short hurtbox when using this move; you can duck under many jump-ins, especially early ones, and punish with a light confirm as they land. It is also Kula's only whiff cancel.

70 Mid special 9 7 13 +1 -1 - 70 120

Kula freezes her hair and stabs it upwards. Active for a long time. Another good anti-air, and used in conjunction with far 5D and her DP make her fairly good at stopping jumps. Be careful of its slow speed and lack of a hitbox directly above or behind Kula. Can be cancelled.

A great sweep. Cancelled into moves like 236C or 214BD it allows Kula to pressure from very far, and get in range for a 2B string combo. Combine with short hops to have a varied rushdown. Unlike many other 2Ds, Kula's cannot be whiff cancelled.

Kula puts her hand directly below her and freezes the air. Kula's most reliable cross-up tool. On block, 2B > 2A > full jump forward > j.A leads to a cross-up on standing opponents, and doing a hyper hop instead crosses-up a crouching opponent. It can also hit crouching opponents on the way up during a short hop, leading to an instant overhead.

A quick kick. Fast air-to-air, good to hop in place with these and create a wall. Plays a large part in Kula's zoning. Hitbox is angled high so it can be low profiled if used carelessly. Shrinks Kula's hurtbox slightly so can be used to help hop over projectiles.

Can be mixed her 6F jD to vary your timings, it’s also able to hit crouching opponents on the way up during a hop.

Kula swings her leg downward. Her fastest air normal. More horizontal range than j.C but less vertical; use if you aren't sure you can land the j.C. Use as an offensive poke, keeping opponents honest at max range. Can be an air-to-air pre-emptively, but j.B is better in most situations, albeit less rewarding.

70 [50] Mid super [special] 22 [15] 10 [9] 15 [17] Crumple (+101) [-5] -6 [-7] - 70 120 [80]

A slow punch. On normal hit, it crumples a ground opponent and juggles an airborne opponent, allowing for combos after. If cancelled into, it becomes much faster and cancellable which makes it useful for combos from heavies and frame traps from lights. Absolutely no use in neutral. When using in cancels, be careful not to accidentally input a 623A when cancelling into 236A on block. Inputting as 2369A can alleviate the issue.

Although the raw version is not cancellable, it can be Quick Max Cancelled, which allows for mid juggle Quick Max combos in the corner.

80 Low - 11 10 17 Soft Knockdown (+19~+28) -8~+1 - 70 120

Kula's slide. Nice as a fireball deterrent, goes pretty far and has good low profile. Remains the same when cancelled into, making for an easy combo ender. Its active frames are long, making it easy to punish high jump-ins by having them fall into the slide. Can be spaced to be made safe on block, even plus.

  • Reversal and combo ender.
  • All versions have full body invulnerability frames, however only A and EX cover their entire startup

Kula's uppercut. Anti air and reversal tool. Also her main combo ender for damage routes.


The A version is one hit and stays relatively close to Kula. It also has full invincibility. This is an easy super cancel, and since it's only one hit you get the full damage when cancelled. When used as a combo ender, Kula has enough time to force a throw/low mix-up on quick rise, even midscreen.


The C version is 2 hits and travels very far forward. Has some startup invincibility but will trade if mashed into a meaty. Main combo ender for damage and also useful for anti-airs. Grants little oki midscreen. Hard knockdown if only the first strike hits.


The EX version is fast and has full invincibility. A great reversal, and is mainly used on defense and anti air.

  • Zoning and pressure tool
  • Counts as a projectile

Kula breathes an icy breath. Great for zoning and putting on pressure midscreen as it reaches quite far and is very safe on block. The breath does not disappear when Kula is hit, potentially hitting your opopnents away even if they are able to get in. Functions like a melee attack but counts as a projectile, meaning it can be reflected.


The A version is a fast midrange breath, good for general zoning and blockstrings. Poke around with it in neutral to keep your opponent out. It has a lot of active frames so opponents can easily fall or run into it. Acts as a frame trap when cancelled immediately from light normals and delayed from heavy normals. If it hits counterhit, Kula can juggle after, but this doesn't apply often, even in the corner.


The C version is a more committal tool made more for pressure than zoning. Slow startup but huge range and is very plus on block. On hit, you can convert depending on range, generally you can at least get a 2D or 3D but closer allows for combos into f.C > 214D. On block, you can mix-up a sweep or a hop. Immediate 236A is also a useful trap, often causing the breath to trade in your favor if they press buttons.


The EX version is the same speed and range as the A version, but crumples on hit to allow combos after. Unlike the others, this is specifically for combos as it is not as safe on block and the A version zones better for no meter cost.

  • Data in [] represent values for the reflected projectile.
  • Projectile reflector and hard knockdown tool.

An icy hand swipe. Great for counter zoning in conjunction with 236A/C. Like Yamazaki's Double Return reflector, it is able to no sell almost any projectile including Climaxes and Terry's Power Geyser. Used to be useful for building meter, but that has been nerfed from previous games.


The A version is the fastest and will only nullify a projectile. A combo ended in this results in a hard knockdown and a meaty 22C setup at the cost of some damage. If juggled into, two hops will set up a safe jump.


The C version is a bit slower but has Kula send out her own projectile on projectile hit. This projectile has the priorities of a normal projectile. On air hit this will cause a juggle for extended combos.


The EX version sends an EX ice ball back, which knocks down on hit. Like the C version, the swipe also causes a juggle state, but is hard to combo into due to its very limited range. Can't be juggled into.

  • Combo move, and has some applications in blockstrings
  • Can evade low moves

Kula's spinning kicks. Has a variety of uses, with the Stand and Sit followups also giving it more variety. Many ways to get good damage, be safe or even plus on block, and mix an opponent up.


The B version kicks once, and leaves the opponent grounded. Meterless combo move, as it leads to the highest damage without needing to juggle the opponent. Least safe on block. Goes over lows, making it very useful in neutral to catch errant jumps or pokes.


The D version is a launcher and hits twice. Mainly used in places where the B version won't connect properly, like after a crumple, at max range f.C, and in some corner combos. Safe on block, but completely whiffs on crouchers (except for Maxima, Antonov, and KoD), so risky to use against a knowledgeable opponent. This also cannot be whiff cancelled into its follow ups.


The EX version is the fastest, and can combo from light hits. It also changes the properties of the followups to be generally more powerful. It is unsafe on block and you cannot cancel into its followups on block, so while the damage output is great, make sure you hit confirm this!

  • Safe or plus ender, and corner combo extender

Kula kicks a leg up and shoots out an ice ball similar to when she reflects a projectile with Counter Shell. Mainly seen as a usually safe blockstring ender, but it does allow followup juggles in the corner. Note that when used in blockstrings, there is a gap between the Ray Spin and the follow-up, allowing reversals to go through. This gap does act as a natural frame trap, however.


The Meterless version sees use as the above, as with a delay you can hit both the kick and ice ball before juggling in the corner. Can be used as a zoning tool after a 214B but whiffing the Ray Spin leaves you open.


The EX version is plus on block, making it great for use in pressure as you can run a mixup between a few different options. There's still a gap however, so better players will reversal through it. Does no more damage than the meterless versions, meaning there's not much use for it in corner combos.

  • Juggle extender

Kula slides with a slide similar to 3D, but it launches instead of knocking down. Great for juggling into her two enders, but unsafe on block so be sure to confirm it.


The Meterless version is used to combo into 623C or 214A in her meterless combos, and is very unsafe on block. It also whiffs against all airborne opponents, making it impossible to hit after a 214D.


The EX version contains all the same properties, but is able to connect with airborne opponents and launches very high, making it very useful in juggles.

  • Oki and zoning tool

Kula summons a snowman at the top of the screen, which hangs for a bit before falling. Useful in meaty setups and zoning, but Kula has to whiff a long animation (56f) before she can act again. The snowman takes about 25f to be summoned, and if Kula is interrupted after that point, the snowman will still be active. The snowman will be active after 58f since when she starts up the move.

XV Kula 22P(2) ima.png



The A version summons about 1/4th of the screen away, and is good to use when the opponent is very far as it can cover you from them approaching as you use 236A/C to zone.


The C version summons about 3/4th of the screen away, and is used when the opponent is knocked down after a 214A to set up meaties. Can also be used for zoning if an opponent is stubborn about approaching, but the lengthy animation and the fact it really doesn't cover you means 22A is superior at this.


The EX version summons 2 snowmen, one right above the opponent and one slightly behind. Great for zoning as it can easily force an opponent to move, and can be used for oki setups as well without the need for a 214A. The first snowman also causes a juggle, but the second snowman causes a knockdown that you can't convert from

Kula shoots a giant spire of ice from the ground. No invincibility makes it hard to use defensively. A great juggle ender, but does do slightly less damage than her other super in grounded connects. Ideal after landing a reversal or anti air 623A.

Max version does 3 hits, more damage, is faster, and has invincibility. Note that the 3rd hit tends to miss in the corner.

Kula slides forward and shoots out ice spikes behind her. Switches sides unless in the corner. Also has some invincibilty, but not a lot so don't use as a reversal. No projectile invincibility so can't be used to go through projectiles. Does more damage than Diamond Edge, but has an issue with falling out of the hits during juggles unless timed well.

Max version has 3 hits and more damage. Max version also has issues with getting every hit, even on grounded connects: you have to be somewhat close for the first hit to connect.

  • Counts as a projectile.
  • Covers about 80% of the screen.

Kula sticks out her tongue and sends out a wave of ice spikes. On connect, she freezes the opponent in a giant block of ice before shattering it. Standard climax, big damage ender that you can use if you have the resources. Can be used to beat a projectile, but this only goes about 80% of the screen so be careful. Can be reflected, oddly.
