Strategies:

-Alot of Kula's game revolves around mass poking with her crouch B and far B, which are excellent pokes. Her jump B is also an excellent air to air, so alternating with vertical hop B and crouch B/far B will quickly frustrate the opponent. After a series of crouch Bs and far Bs, cancel to qcb+B or qcf+A to keep up the pressure

-cancel most normals into qcb+B, as it builds stock quickly and is not punishable. It can be punished if you followup with f+B and the opponent guard rolls. qcb+B by itself though, gives Kula a frame advantage on block, which allows you to mixup more crouch B and far B pokes, or to throw instead

-when hopping back from grounded opponent, use jump A for instant overhead. Jumping back with D is also quite useful but it does not always hit crouching opponents when jumping back

-Kula has many options in the corner. One corner trap involves repeating C(1 hit), qcf+A in the corner. If the opponent attempts to attack after the qcf+A, they will get hit by the C. After a qcf+A, crouch B's to far B's can be done instead, or throws if they become afraid to attack

-she has many decent anti-airs. The crouch C is very meaty and seems to even beat out many high priority jumpins such as jump CDs. This is only if crouch C is done early. Stand CD is also a decent anti-air, best done as a psychic anti-air. If it ends up you guessed wrong, you can whiff cancel this to qcb+B/D or qcf+A depending on if they jump or not. Hcbx2+AC is also a good anti-air that does an extreme amount of damage, and if it were to miss, it is very difficult to punish. However, hopping back with hop B seems to be the most effective anti-air
