--------

For a character who hasn't been announced yet, we sure do have a ton of info on him. I'll work on transcribing his trials to written form. Again, thanks to Ky0 for the movelist and to Mazinkaiser for sharing the video. 

[darkTown2]

Mu Shiki looks pretty cool with the flames on his body definitely one of my favorite looking supers.

[BiGGDaddyCane]

Hahaaaa Yeeeeesss Old Kyo

[SolidSonicTH]

Yeah, I'm in here.

THIS is the Kyo I want to use. I feel so much more at home with this style than I do '95 Kyo.

I hope he's legal for serious play.

[DeadlyRave-Neo]

when do he come out

[Saitsuofleaves]

Unknown as of now.

[Ryudo]

YES! I cant wait to use this Kyo. REKKAS FTW! Hopefully he will be released not too far from Iori i have a grudge match to settle with one of my friends.

[Aenthin]

Some things I've been meaning to ask:

• Does R.E.D. Kick hit crouching opponents now (and is it really an overhead)? It used to miss crouching opponents back in the day.
• Does standalone Goufu You (f+B) hit twice like '98 or once like 2002?
  
• Does Migiri Ugachi (qcf+A, hcb+P, P) hit low like in 2002 or can you block it high?

These are the questions I could remember for now.

[DR.Howard]

99 was my 1st KOF, i feel right at home with this kyo!

R.E.D. kick is an overhead[/list]

[Aenthin]

Just double checking. Some previous KoF guides list R.E.D. Kick as an overhead but doesnt hit crouching opponents which defeats its purpose.

[SolidSonicTH]

When you say "does not hit", do you mean it's blockable while crouching or actually cannot reach them (due to the hitbox expiring too soon)?

he means it doesn't hit because of the kicks hit box

[derpsunagi79]

why on earth is he allowed to get rekkas of light attacks now.

i dunno if it wasnt for the fact the chracter comes with the stage i dont think id bother, bit gutted hes just 98 kyo
Can he still do a standing hp in the corner after his kick on the last hit of his qcf a foward a foward b
