Aggressors of Dark Kombat/Kisarah Westfield

Introduction

Kisarah Westfield is the girlfriend of Joe Kusanagi. She is the most iconic character in this game, mainly due to her appearance in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum and her 'Jealousy Bomber.' This character has great potential, thanks to her excellent light attacks and juggle ability. She's a very fun character, though her only flaws are on the defensive side, where she is weaker than most other characters.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Fast special moves.
Some good and easy to do combos.
A wide variety of useful throws and even unique stun type, available only to her.
Best aerial moves in the game, aerial A is a spamable move, and aerial B is safe on guard + you can do a second B after hitting the guard.
Can do some insane combo on a jumping opponent or with the help of Molotov.
Small character model makes her harder to hit sometimes.

Bad Side Step and Back Dash.
Despite being fast to launch, all her specials have huge endlag.
Has a lot of useless moves and throws, while still lacking tools for many situations.

Command Move

Move Name	Motion
Sparrow Hop	(air) +	Safe on guard, can cross up or chain into itself. Very hard move to anti air if just above the opponent head, but pretty easy to punish if you mash this mindlessly. It automatically cancels into a Sparrow Dive if near the wall, almost as if the devs knew something was wrong. A tool you have to master.
Sweep Leg	(close) + hold	Classic sweep leg. Not a big range but is a hard knockdown.
Windmill Kick	(far) + hold	A mediocre way to go in, but it works.
Double Slap	(close) + hold	Bad. Looks like it should be plus on block, but it's not.
Karate Chop	(far) + hold	It's your longest reaching normal. Multi Hit and Knockdown. Can also OTG.

Special Moves

Move Name	Motion
Hip Bazooka	+	Kisarah lunges forward on a parabolic arc toward her opponent and delivers a hip attack. Very fast move, good for whiff punish and can be used in combos. Very punishable on whiff and block.
Cheerleader Kick	+	Kisarah jumps, spreads her legs, and spins, kicking everything around her. Very awkward move. Not a good anti-air, but can be used as an okizeme to catch unaware opponent off guard. Punishable on whiff and block too. Can be used in combos, but keep in mind that it disconnects often and deals knockdown only on last hit.
Cutie Rainbow		Kisarah charges forward in a curved trajectory, kicking with her legs. Very good range to go in. A decent option to use to surprise your opponent. Also can be combo from light. Punishable on whiff and block, but sometimes you will be able to fly away far enough to avoid enemy attacks.
Splash Dance	+	Kisarah dashes into her opponent with her elbow and lands a barrage of kicks. Great range and damage, but extremely negative on whiff and block. Full sequence plays only on hit or clash. Can be used as a punish tool as well as powerful combo ender.

Ground Moves

Move Name	Motion
Ready Kick	(near opponent's body)	Kisarah kicks downed opponent, dealing extremely low damage.
North-South Pin	(near opponent's head)	Kisarah gets her opponent into a north south position. Refer to Command Throw section for details.
Taunt	+ (near opponent's body)	Kisarah points at her lying opponent and laughs, covering her mouth with her hand. Deals emotional damage.
Head Grab	+ (near opponent's head)	A universal head grab. Places you into a grab sequence, in which your opponent can't counter. Refer to Command Throw section.
Leg Drop	(near opponent's body)	Kisarah jumps and lands on top of her opponent. Damage is low, but still higher than the one Ready Kick has.
Armbar	(near opponent's head)	Kisarah gets her opponent into an armbar. Mashable option with low damage, but... a bone breaker!

Command Throw

Move Name	Motion
Shoulder Throw	(front) Kisarah throws her opponent far backwards. Low damage.
Hip Throw	(front) + Kisarah throws her opponent backwards, leaving them up close. Decent for mix up, but damage is low.
Northern Lights Bomb	(front) Kisarah throws her opponent. Damage is good, but stun value is even better! Crucial throw in Kisarah's game.
Circle Throw	(front) + Kisarah throws her opponent far backwards. Low damage.
Bells Kick	(front) + Kisarah performs an inverted atomic drop on her opponent. Causes a unique stun to occur once in a while, during which an opponent is considered to be grounded. Initial damage is low.
Swearing Smash	(back) Kisarah starts slapping her opponent mercilessly. Mashable throw with incredibly low damage, but funny.
North-South Pin	(back) + Dev's poorly disguised fetish right here. Kisarah gets her opponent into a north south position. This mashable throw has a smaller window for counter than any other throw in the game (!!!). It will catch almost any player off guard, but due to the low damage, it can only be effectively used to finish off low HP enemies or to squeeze out a bit of health before time runs out. This move also triggers a unique voice line if it kills.
Choke Hold	(back) Kisarah locks her opponent into a rear naked choke. Mashable throw with low damage.
Reverse Neck Throw	(back) + Kisarah throws her opponent. Substitute for "Northern Lights Bomb" for the back grapple. Good damage, great stun value.
Supreme Inferno	(back) + Kisarah grabs her opponent, flies high into the sky, slams them into the ground, and lands on top afterward. This move deals more damage if Kisarah is on low HP.

GANGAN Move

Move Name	Motion
Jealousy Bomber	+ Unblockable projectile that instakills on hit. Can become unavoidable if used as an okizeme and timed right.

Strategy

Kisarah is one of the best characters in the game, thanks to her versatile normals, combo potential, and strong throws. She's able to control her opponent up close with normal moves, and deal moderate damage / stun value by executing combos from light attacks, leaving a ton of options for okizeme. Kisarah can struggle in range, sure, and that's where her whiff punish potential starts to shine, because her dash attacks are actually ones of the best in the game, dealing a HUGE amount of stun value. The weapon attacks are also worth mentioning, since they do a pretty good job of challenging opponent from afar.

When being pressed by opponent, Kisarah can struggle because of lacking side step and back dash. That's the best time to try and move the game into a grappling state, where Kisarah is stronger than most (if not all) other characters in AODK. While on the offensive side of the grapple, Kisarah can choose from huge amount of throws, fitting for any occasion - whether it to deal big damage and stun value, or reset the neutral and create space. On the defensive side of the grapple, Kisarah can either try to reverse throw / mash out, or try to escape the sequence altogether by inputting her + or , striking her opponent. In case of back grapple, she can even stun her opponent if lucky enough!

Important part of Kisarah's game are stuns. Other than usual stun, this character also has moves that deal unique stun effects. Those moves are Armbar (bone break), Bells Kick (groin kick stun), and Throw Escape (another groin kick stun). By managing her stun options wisely, Kisarah is able to stun her enemy multiple times in battle, which gives her free damage and time advantage. Overall, Kisarah can stun enemy way more often than other characters. The fact that the groin kick stun leaves the opponent in prone state doesn't make it any easier for them either, since it allows Kisarah to instantly gamble for another stun, whether by executing an Armbar move, or picking opponent up and throwing them in order to fill the stun meter.
