Am I the only person that favors Kusanagi over Kyo?

Sure he doesn't have his rekkas but he doesn't really need it in this form. Canceling this df+D is enough for me. Only problem I have his his j2+C doesn't crossup as well has Kyo's.

[Mr Bakaboy]

I have more success with Kusanagi over Kyo simply cause he has more priority moves wise. The reason I go back to Kyo is he's more fun to tinker with.

[desmond_kof]

Yeah, IMO, f + B and df + D

Kusanagi > Kyo

[Dark Chaotix]

IMO players like him more because he has tools that make him easier to use. Having a fireball and a DP, players can control space more appropriately then Kyo. It does take awhile to "control" the pace of the game with kyo if you not used to his rekkas and how to use them properly. Having better overall damage helps him alot.
