There isn't any right answer to this debate...

I never got to hit up training mode when I was in L.A. last week so I never really went for any hyper drive combos but I can say that I was the ONLY person in the house on Friday to beat Mr. KOF (Even if it was only once) :D .  I went for BnBs and the occasional simple DC (ex. Ryo DP -> DC -> Ranbu).  At the end of the match my Terry had 4 stocks and a full HD bar but the way I finished it was an outside-of-combo EX Bustah Wolf so you just never know what will actually get the W.  At the end of the day there will never be a strategy that is all-encompassing and covers every single situation so HD combos are practical, DC combos are practical, EVERYTHING is practical because it all goes towards conditioning and even a seemingly lame strategy can come out of left field and trip out great players.

HD combos are not practical, there I said it

Mr. KOF would like a word with you...

It is just me or people rarely use Kyo's hcf+A/C move? All I see is people only use basic punch/kick and little variation with kick movelist (rdp+K or hcf+K)

Kyo doesn't have a hcf+A/C in KOF XIII. He does have a qcf+A/C Fireball though.

EDIT : and i agree with venusandeve . If lots of things are powerful (aka broken for others point of view) then the game is kinda cruel but still fair if all the characters have their powerful stuffs. And it seems that many characters has. It remember me GGXX where lors of character have abusable yet different tactics but was fair cause everyone has something overpowered to compete.

Well, yeah..I am talking about the fireball..It seems that qcf+A/C is extremely unpopular for Kyo to use..what gives?

As a Kyo player myself all I can tell you is that it's too small and low to the ground to be of that much use except maaaybe to bait an occasional roll/jump

Also I can attest to the post earlier that not many people play with Ryo at AI... I partly have that to thank for my Ryo being a bit tough to deal with at times.  I just think there hasn't been a lot of practice against him.  BTW, overhead shenanigans FOR LIFE!!!!!! :D
