Background

Kimberly Jackson is an uninvited student of Guy, the 39th successor of Bushinryu. Despite an ordinary upbringing, she is a prodigy who graduated college early and is passionate about being a ninja, finding it “cool.” She has a love for '80s pop culture and is considered a new-generation counterpart to Chun-Li. Transcript: Kimberly: Chasing the Truth Kimberly's story begins when she receives a new clue regarding the mysterious death of her uncle Albert in Nayshall, discovered through a “crazy coincidence.” After solving a complex formula on an online math forum, a user named “Shaobing” messages her, revealing that the formula contains a hidden message about a shadowy organization connected to her uncle. Upon arriving in Nayshall, Kimberly reflects on her admiration for her late uncle, who cared for her, and vows to uncover the truth behind his death, caused by getting involved in dangerous trouble. After finding clues and defeating numerous foes, she confronts Johan Petrovic (JP) at the Suval’hal Arena, whom she believes orchestrated her uncle’s fate. JP acknowledges her presence and offers help, but Kimberly demands answers, leading to a fight. Kimberly appears to win the battle, yet she senses JP was holding back and felt “on the ropes” throughout. JP warns her that “few things are more dangerous than unwarranted confidence” and retreats, leaving Kimberly without the answers she sought. She recognizes that she is not yet strong enough to face someone like him and resolves to train and improve for the challenges ahead. JP: Nayshall’s Suval’hal Tournament This version depicts the encounter from JP’s perspective. Kimberly is shown spying on JP, who eventually notices her, resulting in a confrontation and ensuing fight.

Leap Attack

MP + MK simultaneously Jump lower than a regular jump and attack. Effective against an opponenet who is doing a crouching block.

Personal Action

HP + HK simultaneously Each character has an individual Personal Action with a unique effect.

Super Art

Directional Button/Joystick + Punch or Kick Button A Super Art move is a super powerful special move. As the fighter attacks, their Super Art Gauge gradually fills up. When the gauge is full, the fighter can perform a Super Art move. Each fighter has three Super Arts.

EX Special Move

2P or 2K buttons

When the Super Arts Gauge is blinking light blue, press two P or K buttons while inputting a Special Move command to perform a more powerful version of the Special Move. An EX Special Move requires a certain amount of Super Art Gauge.

Normal Moves

Press the punch or kick buttons to perform normal moves. The actual attack performed depends on the position of the fighter and the button pressed.

Special Moves

Inputting a specific combination of directional and attack buttons allows the fighter to perform a special move. Even if the opponent blocks a special move, they will still take a small amount of damage. Inputting the command for a special move during certain normal moves allows the fighter to cut short, or "cancel", the normal move and quickly go straight into performing the special move. Using cancelling skillfully is one way to create damaging combinations.

Block

Pushing the directional button away from the opponent allows the fighter to block their attacks. They can block high (Standing) and low (crouching) attacks. High and low blocks can block specific attacks, but not every attack. The fighter will need to carefully and quickly swap between them to block all incoming attacks.

Dash

Press the forward directional button twice to perform a forward dash, or the backward directional button twice to perform a backward dash. Dashing allows the fighter to quickly close the distance between them and their opponent, or to fall back and reassess the situation.

Stun Recovery

If the fighter keeps getting pummeled, they will eventually become stunned. While stunned, they cannot do anything. Their only hope is to press the directional buttons and other buttons as fast as they can to recover from the stun faster.

Throws and Throw Escapes

When standing close to the opponent, pressing the light punch button and light kick buttons simultaneously allows the fighter to throw their opponent. Theyh can change the direction they throw the opponent by pressing the left or right directional buttons. They can prevent themself from being thrown by pressing light punch and light kick together when their opponent begins to throw them. This is called "throw escape".

Some characters can also perform a throw when jumping (aerial throw), or special move throws (command throws). Throw escapes cannot be performed against aerial or command throws.

Recovery

When the opponent's attacks have knocked their character to the ground, they can press the down directional button twice or any two attack buttons simultaneously the instant that they hit the dirt to perform a quick recovery. A successful recovery will reduce the amount of time spent prone on the ground and make it easier to respond to the next incoming attack.

Some attacks, such as throws, do not allow a recovery to be performed after them.

Personal Action

While standing, the fighter can press the heavy punch and heavy kick buttons together to make sure they perform a personal action and taunt their opponent. This action in and of itself has no special properties.

Focus Attack

Performing

Press and hold the Medium Punch and Medium Kick buttons together to charge up a Focus Attack. To perform a full strength Focus Attack, hold the buttons until the attack is unleashed automatically. If the fighter releases the button while charging, the Focus Attack will come out sooner, but weaker.

Hyper Armor

The fighter can absorb up to one enemy attack in the time between pressing the Medium Punch / Medium Kick buttons and the Focus Attack being peformed. They can then go on to counter by performing the attack.

Absorb an opponent's attack and, rather than take direct damage, a section of the fighter's vitality gauge will change color, and will regenerate over time. This damage will recover as time passes, but if they are hit again before it finishes recovering, the remaining section will vanish and can no longer be recovered.

Levels

There are three levels of charging for a Focus Attack. The levels depend on how long the fighter holds the Medium Punch and Medium Kick. The fighter will flash white each time the Focus Attack level increases.

Levels
Attack Level	Main Benefits of Focus Attack performed
Level 1	Only does regular damage Crumples opponent if a counter hit
Level 2	Crumples opponent if hits, allowing easier follow up
Level 3 (Keep holding until performed)	Becomes unblockable Has Armor Break properties Crumples opponent if hits, allowing easier to follow up.

When an opponent crumples, they are rendered totally defenseless as they fall to the floor. Follow up with extra attacks or throw to take advantage of a crumpled opponent and do further damage.

The fighter cannot move or jump during a Focus Attack, but they can perform either a forward or backward dash to cancel the Focus Attack quickly.

Super Combo

Hitting the opponent or performing special moves will increase the Super Combo Gauge. The gauge is divided into four segments and, when completely full, a special command can be inpute to perform an all-powerful Super Combo. Doing so will use up all of the Super Combo Gauge.

Super Cancel

Input the Super Combo command while performing a normal move or special move and the fighter can cancel and move directly into the Super Combo. This is called a "Super Cancel". Using Super Cancels strategically allows the fighter to chain a normal move into a special move, and then into a Super Combo for massive amounts of damage.

EX Special Moves

The fighter can also perform an EX special move by pressing two or more of the required buttons (punch or kick) when inputting a special move command. This will consume one segment of the Super Combo Gauge. EX special moves are further powered up versions of the normal special moves.

EX Focus

When performing certain regular or special moves it is possible to press Medium Punch and Medium Kick together and cancel into a Focus Attack. This is called "EX Focus." (It will consume two segments of the Super Combo Gauge.) EX Focus has the same properties as a regular Focus Attack, aside from having no Hyper Armor effect.

The EX Focus can also be used when the fighter's special moves are blocked to protect themself from the opponent's counterattack.

Ultra Combo

The Revenge Gauge fills up as the opponent damages the fighter. Once it is over 50% full, the fighter can input a character-specific command to perform an "Ultra Combo," a devastating special move.

Performing an Ultra Combo will consume the entire Revenge Gauge. The higher the gauge is charged upon performing the attack, the more damage the ultra combo will do.

Normal Attacks

Press the punch or kick buttons to perform a normal attack. The precise attack varires depending on the fighter's position and the button pressed.

Special Moves

Pressing the directional and attack buttons in specific combinations will perform special moves. Special moves will take off a small amount of damage even when blocked. By performing a special move during certain normal attacks, the fighter can cancel the normal attack and move swiftly into doing a special move.

EX Special moves

These are special moves that are more powerful or have a stronger effect than normal. Fighters can perform an EX Special Move by pressing a punch or kick button (depending on the move) at the same time as the fighter inputs a special move command. This will use one stock of the fighter's Critical Gauge.

Guarding

Fighters can block an opponent's attack by pressing the directional button away from them. There are two types of guard: standing and crouching. Each can be used to block different types of attacks, so they'll need to know which type of guard is best for each situation.

V-Skill

Pressing the medium punch and medium kick buttons simultaneously will trigger a special action with a unique effect specific to that fighter.

V-Trigger

When a fighters V-Gauge is at MAX, press the hard punch and hard kick buttons simultaneously to trigger a special action specific to that character, consuming the entire V-Gauge. With effects like temporary power ups and teleportation, the V-Trigger can turn the tide of battle and give a fighter the upper hand.

V-Reversal

When guarding, press all kick or punch buttons at the same time while simultaneously pressing the directional button towards the opponent to consume one V-Gauge stock and perform a counter-move.

• Whether the fighter need to press punch or kick button depends on the fighter.

V-Shift

Press Hard Punch and Medium Kick at the same time to spend 1 stock of V-Gauge and perform a backward evasive action.

V-Shift Break

If a fighter successfully parries their opponent's attack with a V-Shift, they will trigger slow motion. While in this state, press Hard Punch and Medium Kick together to perform a fighter-specific counterattack called a V-Shift Break.

Throws and Throw Escapes

When standing close to the opponent, the fighter can perform a throw by pressing the light punch and light kick buttons simultaneously. If their opponent tries to throw them, they can execute a throw escape by pressing the light punch and light kick buttons together at just the right moment.

Recovery

When an opponent knocks the fighter down with an attack, they can perform a quick recovery by either pressing a directional button, or pressing two or more punch or two or more kick buttons simultaneously at just the right moment.

Movement

Walking

Pressing left and right on the control pad/left control stick will let the fighter move in that direction. The fighter can move forwards or backwards with no difficulty, not losing balance even while moving backwards while fighting against an opponent.

Dashing

Through double tapping the left control stick in the same direction, the fighter will perform a dash. Dashing lets the fighter cover more ground than regular advancing or retreating.

Jumping

Through inputting the control pad/left joystick upwards, the fighter will perform a jump. The fighter can either jump straight up or to either side. Jump are utilized for moving while avoiding opponent attacks, though jumping around too much will make the fighter look predictable.

Normal Attacks

Normal Attacks are performed through the fighter using the punch or kick inputs, allowing them to perform attacks of different strengths depending on the input done. There are weak versions of normal attacks known as light attacks, while weak they come out quick. There are medium attacks which are well balanced and easy to use. There are heavy attacks that leave the fighter open to counter attacks, but to make up for it they deal good damage.

Through inputting the control pad/left joystick downwards, the fighter will crouch, if attacking in this state the fighter will perform a crouch attack.

Through inputting the jumping action, the fighter can also attack while jumping, performing jumping attacks.

Blocking

There are two kinds of blocks: Standing Blocks and Crouching Blocks.

• Standing Block: Press the left joy stick in the opposite direction of the opponent while standing to perform a standing block. Standing blocks can guard against any attacks that aren't aimed at the fighters feet.
• Crouching Block: For attacks standing blocks can't defend against, crouching blocks are instead viable. While facing right, input diagonally down and left with the control pad/left joy stick to block. Crouching Blocks can't defend against Overhead or Jumping Attacks, but they can deal with a lot of other attacks.

Throws

When a fighter cannot break through an opponent's block, they can use throws to deal damage instead. At close range press the light attack inputs at the same time for a normal throw. Throws are a great option for close-ranged offense.

Throw Escape

If the fighter is about to get thrown, they can answer back with a throw escape, by pressing the light attack inputs at the same time.

Special Moves

Through a fighter doing their correct inputs, they will be able to fire off their special move. Different special moves work better in different situations for a fighter.

Super Arts

Super Arts depend on the Super Art gauge. The Super Art gauge can be filled up to 3 levels, if a fighter has at least one level in the bar, they can perform a Super Art.

The Level 3 Super Art is every fighter's trump card. The Super Art gauge fills up whenever the fighter's attack hits or if they're attacked.

The Drive Gauge

All fighter's have a Drive Gauge which indicates a fighter's concentration and energy level. Utilizing this gauge lets a fighter perform unique actions.

Drive Impact

The fighter presses the right two shoulder buttons at the same time to perform a powerful attack. Drive Impacts can absorb two attacks from the opponent, but there are some exceptions. When in trouble, a fighter's Drive Impact can break through any attack. Drive Impacts have a unique characteristic: They can break a cornered opponent's block.

Drive Parry

This is performed by holding down the medium attack inputs at the same time, for a powerful defensive tool.

Drive Parries are effective against both standing and crouching attacks, and a successfull Drive Parry will replenish the drive gauge.

While Drive Parries are powerful, they can't defend against throws.

Perfect Parry

A Perfect Parry is the result of performing a Drive Parry the moment an opponent's attacks hits them. This is an invaluable tool for their counterattack game.

Street Fighter 6

Trivia

• Kimberly likes 80's music, sneakers, and large numbers.
• Kimberly hates tear-jerker movies.
• Kimberly's surname was revealed by her Japanese voice actress Nao Toyama. It is likely a reference to Janet Jackson.
• Kimberly is the second playable Street Fighter character with a strong connection to Guy and the Bushinryu style who has never appeared in the Final Fight series, the first being Zeku.
  • If including Street Fighter EX characters Hokuto and Kairi, who incorporate Bushinryu elements, Kimberly would be the fourth.
• Using her Level 3 Super (Bunshin Ninjastar Cypher) plays a track of the same name instead of the round music. A vocal version is also available and plays during mirror match when both Kimberlys use their Level 3 Supers.
• Kimberly's cassette player is modeled after the original Sony Walkman TPS-L2, including the iconic stereo label and arrow, though the Sony logo appears painted over.
• Kimberly is the fourth playable female character from the United States, following Crimson Viper, Poison, and Lucia Morgan.
• Her uncle, Albert Jackson, bears a strong resemblance to actor Morgan Freeman.
• Kimberly shares similarities with Master Raven from the Tekken series: both are black kunoichi who fight using ninjutsu (Kimberly with a fictional Bushinryu style), often paired with a male ninja (Guy and Raven) and using objects as weapons (spray cans and shuriken bombs for Kimberly, sword for Master Raven).
  • Key differences include personality (Kimberly is expressive and playful; Master Raven is stoic and serious), nationality (Kimberly is American; Master Raven's is unknown), and naming (Kimberly has a full name; Master Raven appears to be a title).
• In the Japanese version, Kimberly pronounces "Bushinryu" in katakana (ブシンリュウ) rather than traditional kanji (武神流), possibly reflecting her American background using a foreign-language syllabary.
• The opening of Kimberly's theme, Ninjastar Pop, includes a leitmotif from the first stage of the original Final Fight.
• In World Tour, if the player stands near Kimberly, she can be heard humming a tune similar to Guy's theme from the Street Fighter Alpha series.

Codex Statistics Questions

Q: Shouldn't characters comparable to Akuma be around Tier 6 (6-C) for him sinking an island in one punch?

A: Akuma's punch causes the island to start collapsing, and specifically causes an explosion of this size in comparisson to the island, there is also no direct timeframe for how long this took, making it hard to factor. On top of this, the size of the island is not that large. Playing Devil's Advocate and assuming this was to be Tier 6, this would not be consistent, as Akuma using his ultimate technique, the "Kongou-kokuretsuzan" only split Ayers Rock in half. Which it should be noted as Akuma is training constantly and getting stronger, the Island feat was all the way back in Alpha 2, which is before most of the games, while III: 2nd Impact is pretty late into the timeline.

Q: Shouldn't the cast be comparable to Chun-Li's kikosho, which caused this massive crater, which was calculated to be 8-B?

A: While the scene is cut weirdly, a couple of things to note is for one, the consistency of kikosho. In Chun-Li's opening in Street Fighter IV, her kikosho pushes back a speeding car but does no serious damage to it. Another thing is that the crater is inconsistently sized between scenes. Finally, Chun-Li is weaker then Juri where while amped had powers that can blow up the inside of a building and cause a jet plane to explode, greatly injuring Guile, who she's comparable too in the process. Thus it does not make sense for 8-B when far lower feats affect them, and the calculation itself has issues.

Q: Shouldn't the cast be comparable to E. Honda, who destroyed a meteor?

A: In the feat, it's directly noted that the two wrestlers (Hakan and E. Honda) worked together, with E. Honda being thrown at high speeds into the meteor and being greatly damaged from said feat, having bandages all over his body. Thus the feat is not usable for scaling to anyone other then throwing speed.

Q: Shouldn't the cast be comparable to Haggar, who causes an explosion seen from space?

A: Haggar's attack is modeled weird as it's heavily likely for partly comedic effect, asides from this, despite said explosions, the actual stage is largely unaffected by this attack, which furthers that this is just an over the top comedic effect attack rather then being a literal explosions from Earth.

Q: Shouldn't M. Bison be comparable to Akuma and by proxy any characters comparable to M. Bison are comparable to Akuma?

A: When Akuma first appears in Street Fighter II, he easily one-shots M. Bison, his ending in Alpha 3 has him easily kill M. Bison. The only two cases of M. Bison looking stronger is in his arcade mode he has Akuma as a rival fight, and ends up winning, and him calling the Raging Demon a pitifully weak move. However there are issues with both of these, the first one being this is simply a non-canon arcade mode from M. Bison, any other showing of M. Bison and Akuma shows Akuma as the superior one (Examples include Street Fighter V M. Bison getting one-shot by Ryu while Akuma easily beat Ryu in Street Fighter 5, THe Alpha 3 Akuma Ending and Street Fighter II Secret Akuma Boss Fight), on top of this M. Bison wants the satsui no hado's power, which is weaker then Akuma's during the events of Alpha 3. For Adon's part, Bison is merely attempting to convince him to take Psycho Power so that he can control him, this is doubly clear as any time M. Bison has been depicted on screen being hit by the Raging Demon he instantly dies. Also as a last point, for the rival fight, Feel the Cool played against M. Bison, while Groan only plays when he's fighting Gen or Evil Ryu, thus meaning Akuma even in M. Bison's arcade mode wasn't taking the fight seriously.

Q: Shouldn't Evil Ryu and thus the Statsui no Hado have 7-B due to it powering M. Bison's laser to destroy Bangkok?

A: This is not a solely Evil Ryu power, every fighter in the game has this, including Dan Hibiki. This also is a machine that saps all of their energy, where a persons total body energy is not comparable to the energy they produce regularly.

Q: Shouldn't all Street Fighter 6 charcters get 7-B for fighting SiRN Akuma?

A: While some statements suggest it to be equal in power to Akuma, several characters note that it isn't, as strong as the real Akuma. The real Akuma even considers SiRN Akuma a mockery. C. Viper notes the simulation is only passable as a simulation.
