Introduction
Kyo is primarily a close-range pressure and mixup character. In neutral, he has access to some helpful moves for getting in, including his guard-point rekkas, as well as some solid poking normals. Close range is where Kyo is really good, as he can use his strong hop normals and lows to open up the opponent. He has good confirms into his DMs from both lows and heavies, as well as strong corner juggles, making his damage fairly high overall. On defense he has access to a good invincible DP. Kyo's weaknesses are that he lacks anything to fight at long range, since he doesn't have a projectile, and that his meterless low confirms are pretty lackluster.
Movelist
Preferred Mode and Position
Although he slightly prefers some aspects of Advanced mode, Kyo can be effective in both Advanced and Extra mode.
Run vs Step
- Kyo prefers Run over Step as it helps him with his up-close, rushdown game and it makes it easier to set up cross-ups after knockdowns.
- However, Kyo isn't bad with Step as his step dash has good length and speed, and the increased walk speed helps with tick throws and can make a couple quick max combos easier.
Roll vs Dodge
- Personal preference.
Advanced vs Extra Gauge
- Kyo prefers Advanced gauge over Extra gauge, as he can build meter with his offense, Advanced gauge can store multiple stocks at once which allows Kyo to have more consistent access to his cr.B, cr.A, qcfx2+P super combo as a mid or anchor which is quite useful as his meterless low options are not great, and he doesn't need to stop his offense to charge after using meter.
- However, Kyo can make pretty good use of Extra gauge as well since he has good quick max combos.
Preferred Position
- Kyo benefits from being further back in your team order with both gauges. With Advanced gauge, he likes to have access to more saved up stocks for his super combos. With Extra gauge, he wants to take advantage of the greater red health window for free supers, which gets progressively bigger from the first to the third character.
- Although, Kyo on point is more effective in Extra mode as he can charge up to get meter more quickly.

General Notes
- In Max Mode moves have more pushback, so some combos won't work the same. Most notably for Kyo, you cannot do two 2Bs into a 2A, and cl.C into 236D will only work at the corner, at midscreen it will miss even if do a cross-up or you don't do a jump-in.
- cl.C is generally the preferred close normal to use in combos as it is slightly faster, but cl.D has a larger cancellable window which can be useful if you have trouble comboing into say, 236236P.
- In any metered combo, you can replace 236236P with 236236AC or 2141236P with 2141236AC if you have 3 stocks in Advanced mode or are at low health and in max mode in Extra Mode.
