Standing Heavy Kick

Standing Heavy Kick leaves Kimberly at +2F on block, outside throw range. Only LP, LK, and MP can reach after block. Because MP is required to continue without a cancel Drive Rush, Kimberly will almost always follow up with MP as the strike option.

Notes on how Kimberly uses Standing Heavy Kick — combo routes, pressure, pokes — to be added.

On block, Kimberly is +2F but outside throw range. If you mash a 4F button the exchange becomes a trade. The following table shows Kimberly's trade combo by character — players who have not researched per-character trade combos are rare, so if your character's "Reachable move" column is not MP you can safely mash at maximum speed.

Manon and DJ in particular are highly vulnerable to maximum-speed 4F mash.
