Kimberly

Story

Kimberly Jackson, also referred to as Ninjastar is an African-American female fighter who's been trained by Guy in the Bushinryu style. A natural prodigy, she graduated from college early and now pursuing the goal of becoming a real ninja. Kimberly also is a big fan of the '80s pop culture. 

Appearance

Kimberly is a young African-American woman with dark brown skin, brown eyes, and braided dark hair. Her costume consists of a necktie with an African-inspired design, cropped red jacket, red gloves, red sneakers, and black capris. Her legs and wrists are wrapped in yellow laces, and she carries a blue cassette player with earbuds.

Gameplay

Kimberly is a highly mobile character with a handful of decent tools for constant pressure and combo potential. Her Command Dash and Teleport allow her to close the gap to the opponent very quickly, and her overall movement might be tricky to guess and react consistently. However, her normal attacks are quite short in reach, which puts her at a slight disadvantage in neutral play, and her lacking of safe special moves to cancel into can disserve her offense if the opponent is not in a Burnout state.
