KIMBERLY Guide & Overview

Best range / preferred gameplan

Build around crouching medium punch confirms, the medium-punch target combo and standing medium kick Drive Rush. Select Shadow Slide when carry is the priority. At the corner, use one documented bomb setup rather than improvising placement while the opponent is free to act.

Key tools to learn first

Beginner practice order

1. Carry from a simple confirm

   Repeat the crouching medium punch into target-combo and Shadow Slide route from several screen positions.

2. Practice stopping the run

   Alternate a Sprint attack with Emergency Stop on purpose, so stopping is a learned choice rather than an execution accident.

3. Add one bomb knockdown

   Start with the exact corner finish listed in the guide, place the bomb and test the follow-up against guard and a wake-up attack.

Common mistakes

• Attempting a bomb sequence without the stock or corner position it requires.
• Replacing grounded confirms with repeated raw Sprint approaches before learning how the opponent interrupts them.

What to learn first

Start with the MP–HP target combo and crouching MP starters. Practise the run’s low, overhead, and stop options separately from combos on hit.

Turn the route into a match decision

Check screen position and whether a spray-can setup is available. Use the combo table to distinguish carry routes from the other listed finishers.
