The King of Fighters XIV, Kukri Move List

Kukri’s attacks are very tricky and often very hard to predict. This allows the character to generate space between himself and the opponent and control the flow of the battle. Much of playing Kukri comes down to attempting to manipulate your adversary’s movements into a position that leaves you dominant and gives you choices.

While his crouching normals aren’t anything to write home about, Kukri’s standing normals provide excellent range with his standing heavy kick allowing the ability to close minor amounts of space to push closer to your opponent. His command move, Fussa Ken, comes out very quickly and will be used a lot as it’s vital to continuing long combos that produce extraordinary amounts of damage.

Kukri’s real bread-and-butter comes from his wide variety of special moves. One of his most powerful special moves, Nessa Jin, is a strong projectile that quickly moves across the ground toward your opponent. This ability should be used to keep the enemy away and chip off their life when there exists a large amount of space between you both. Nessa Senpuu has a wide range and will deal out large amounts of damage mid-combo.

When used in EX form, Nessa Senpuu will also knock the enemy against the wall, leaving them in a crumpled state and open to a continued flurry of blows. Bossa-Shougeki will allow you to control the aerial space in a match and may be used both on the ground and in the air. Finally, Genei Sajin is Kukri’s teleport which’ll allow him to move in four directions: forward, far forward, backward, and staying in place. The teleport leaves behind a sand image which will hurt the opponent and help to make the move safe.
