Kyo is an extremely versatile character with a very vast range of playing styles. He can zone you with Yamibarai but at the same time he can rush you down to the corner. He can punish jump-ins very well with his Oniyaki and Ama No Murakumo but also carry his opponent across the screen with Kai and Oborogurma. His play-style tends to be favored by people looking for someone who is flashy yet isn't too difficult to learn.

Yamamoto – ''"The air Orochinagi which he learned in KOF Sky Stage (laughs) and now the EX version on top of that has made him a master of the move. It’s now possible to do high damage combos off of a hit confirm with his 3D > 236D combo. Please try him out now that he has so many more attack options."

==Gameplay Overview==
'''cr. B:''' A quick crouching kick, a great poke that's good for chaining into combos, excellent range, can be chained
Kyo is a very noteworthy character with many powerful options to exploit during game play. He is a versatile character who has the tools to zone the opponent and/or rush the opponent down. He can also punish jump-ins very well with his Oniyaki (623P), EX Oborogurma (421BD) but can also carry his opponent across the screen with moves such as 75 Shiki (236K) and Oborogurma (421K). His HD combos involve him using most of his moveset to get the most damaging combo out possible whether it's midscreen or in the corner. His play-style tends to be favored by people looking for someone who is flashy but at the same time isn't too difficult to learn.
- Chain-able
Compared to alternate version NESTS Kyo, this version of Kyo is a bit more reliant on scoring easy hard knockdowns to set up either a safe jump option, a high/low okizeme mix-up or using his j.2C for some annoying cross-ups. He has stronger long range options using is 236P for zoning, and his NeoMax which can punish opponents at full screen. His HD combos are a bit more flashier and juggle-heavy which may require a fair amount of execution to pull off consistently but they are very damaging. His mid-range game both offensively and defensively are somewhat lacking in proper tools and options compared to NESTS Kyo, but long-range and close range potential can still make him a highly valid threat.
- Hit Detection: Low
===XIII Kyo vs NESTS Kyo Differences===
- Damage: 30
* XIII Kyo does not combo from 5C to 6B, while NESTS Kyo does.
* The XIII Kyo's 5A whiffs completely on crouching opponents. However, NESTS Kyo's 5A will actually hit crouching opponents.
* The XIII Kyo's EX Orochinagi DM has a quicker start up than NESTS Kyo's EX Orochinagi DM.
* NESTS Kyo is not capable of using Orochinagi in mid-air
* XIII Kyo's Oniyaki 623A hits twice and 623C hits three times. NESTS Kyo's 623A hits once and the C version hits twice with autoguard properties.
* XIII Kyo's EX DP has him traveling straight up in a spiral. NESTS Kyo is stationary in mid-air during his EX DP.
* XIII Kyo has more long range and zoning options than NESTS Kyo does.
* XIII Kyo's 236K up-kicks are automatic. NESTS Kyo will require the player to input an K to finish the move.
* NESTS Kyo’s 3D is not cancellable.
* NESTS Kyo's 63214K requires him to "catch" the opponent and then cause an explosion, while the EX version works as another damaging reversal option. NESTS Kyo will still go through the same animation sequence making the move unsafe. The XIII Kyo's version of this move automatically works after the first successful hit and the animations stops with Kyo's elbow in front of him. The EX version of the move works as a 4 frame command throw.
* XIII Kyo lacks any safe special move reversals while NESTS Kyo has somewhat safer reversal options.

Cancellable. Standard punch attack. Fast and stops a lot of short hops. It's okay from time to time in mid-range to throw this out to stop hops in advance if your opponent is really hop twitchy, especially if they are cornered. Disadvantages for this jab is that it lacks horizonal range and that it whiffs completely on crouching opponents.

{{FrameDataCargo-KOFXIII
|moveId=kyo_rawf+B,kyo_cancelf+b

|description2=* Only cancellable from a canceled normal.
* Kyo's axe kick that hits crouching opponents but has limited cancel properties. Unlike KOF02's Kusanagi, Kyo's overhead isn't ridiculous at all in this game and is somewhat subpar in this game. On block it is around -2 frames, while he receives a fair amount of pushback from the opponent, which makes it hard to punish.
* Unfortunately you cannot combo into this move from any of Kyo's normals, but it seems to have cancel properties on block when canceled from a normal like cl.C, f+B, hcb+B, which the hcb+B will connect into. There really isn't a point to doing that, especially if the normal cannot combo into it.
* It is possible to HD activate from this overhead by itself into a combo which is pretty good. Even if the opponent is blocking, you can raw activate into HD, then go low immediately (cr.B or df+D) to catch them off guard when the were still busy from blocking the overhead, into a damaging HD combo.

This move is not safe on block at all, even if performed at a end of a blockstring (ex. cr.B, cr.A, df+D). If a character has a fast special move (or DM) that can reach him while he's recovering, he can get punished rather hard. You MAY get away with it if a certain character lacks a move that can punish him or if the player doesn't realize that isn't safe, but still use this move on block sparingly.

'''j. CD:''' Air shoulder tackle, comes out pretty quick, delivers a chunk of hitstun like many other CD attacks
* If successfully used as an air-to-air it slams the opponent to the ground for a hard knockdown. It has a lot of hit stun so it can be used to jump-in and start a combo. When used during a backdash it makes him hop backward further and quicker. It can also be used as a cross-up too. This move isn't fool proof though. Your opponent can cr.B anti-air this move by carefully placing a cr.B to shrink their hitbox if the j.2C was performed early. It is also not a good idea to use this move as an air-to-air attack, j.D is much suitable for that.
* You can combo 2 j.2C's in a row on a standing opponent by hitting the first one really low around the waist area of the character's sprite, the IMMEDIATELY hyper hopping performing the second hit as early as possible. The two hits give 97 damage.

The B version is more useful within his combos in the corner, and can also combo into his EX Orochinagi (qcb~hcf+AC) midscreen. Defensively, the opponent can mash a reversal attack in between his first and second kick. If the second kick is blocked, Kyo is pretty safe at -2 frames, and can even possibly frame trap them with a move with fast start-up. Compared to EX Kyo, both of the kicks release with one button instead of two, and it seems that EX Kyo's launches the opponent up a bit higher.

The disadvantages this move has is that the damage is quite low, along with is slow start-up makes its a very unreliable anti-air, especially against hops. It's upper body invincibility can be useful for phasing through mid-air waist to shoulder height projectiles (ex. Andy, Robert, Ash, Takuma, King) but not ground skimming ones (Terry's Power Wave).

|description= Flaming wave attack. Holding either punch button, delays the attack. It does a nice amount of chip damage.

If you're feeling lucky, you can use this as an air-to-air, or to attempt to snuff out someones anti-air against you. Max Cancel-able on ground, on hit.

|description3= Air flaming wave attack. It mimics the ground version except done in the air now and pushes Kyo back slightly after activation. You will most likely be using this more in Kyo's drive cancels or HD combos. It's start up is a little slow to use as an air to air reliably.
- 88 Shiki (3D) moves forward more. As a result, 5C, 3D, 236K now does the full four hits.
- Kototsuki You (63214K) has more lag on block
- B version of 75 Shiki Kai (236K) can now be followed up with other attacks. On the ground you can only follow up with an uppercut, but on a mid-air hit you can do more interesting things.
- Added an EX version for his mid-air Orochinagi. It does 3 hits and 300 damage. Unlike the ground version it has no invincibility but is very fast, so you can use it in combos or in air-to-air battles.
- f.D has less lag.
Yamamoto – "The air Orochinagi which he learned in KOF Sky Stage (laughs) and now the EX version on top of that has made him a master of the move. It’s now possible to do high damage combos off of a hit confirm with his 3D > 236D combo. Please try him out now that he has so many more attack options."
Gameplay Overview
Kyo is a very noteworthy character with many powerful options to exploit during game play. He is a versatile character who has the tools to zone the opponent and/or rush the opponent down. He can also punish jump-ins very well with his Oniyaki (623P), EX Oborogurma (421BD) but can also carry his opponent across the screen with moves such as 75 Shiki (236K) and Oborogurma (421K). His HD combos involve him using most of his moveset to get the most damaging combo out possible whether it's midscreen or in the corner. His play-style tends to be favored by people looking for someone who is flashy but at the same time isn't too difficult to learn.
Compared to alternate version NESTS Kyo, this version of Kyo is a bit more reliant on scoring easy hard knockdowns to set up either a safe jump option, a high/low okizeme mix-up or using his j.2C for some annoying cross-ups. He has stronger long range options using is 236P for zoning, and his NeoMax which can punish opponents at full screen. His HD combos are a bit more flashier and juggle-heavy which may require a fair amount of execution to pull off consistently but they are very damaging. His mid-range game both offensively and defensively are somewhat lacking in proper tools and options compared to NESTS Kyo, but long-range and close range potential can still make him a highly valid threat.
XIII Kyo vs NESTS Kyo Differences
XIII Kyo does not combo from 5C to 6B, while NESTS Kyo does.
The XIII Kyo's 5A whiffs completely on crouching opponents. However, NESTS Kyo's 5A will actually hit crouching opponents.
The XIII Kyo's EX Orochinagi DM has a quicker start up than NESTS Kyo's EX Orochinagi DM.
NESTS Kyo is not capable of using Orochinagi in mid-air
XIII Kyo's Oniyaki 623A hits twice and 623C hits three times. NESTS Kyo's 623A hits once and the C version hits twice with autoguard properties.
XIII Kyo's EX DP has him traveling straight up in a spiral. NESTS Kyo is stationary in mid-air during his EX DP.
XIII Kyo has more long range and zoning options than NESTS Kyo does.
XIII Kyo's 236K up-kicks are automatic. NESTS Kyo will require the player to input an K to finish the move.
NESTS Kyo’s 3D is not cancellable.
NESTS Kyo's 63214K requires him to "catch" the opponent and then cause an explosion, while the EX version works as another damaging reversal option. NESTS Kyo will still go through the same animation sequence making the move unsafe. The XIII Kyo's version of this move automatically works after the first successful hit and the animations stops with Kyo's elbow in front of him. The EX version of the move works as a 4 frame command throw.
XIII Kyo lacks any safe special move reversals while NESTS Kyo has somewhat safer reversal options.

Cancellable. Standard punch attack. Fast and stops a lot of short hops. It's okay from time to time in mid-range to throw this out to stop hops in advance if your opponent is really hop twitchy, especially if they are cornered. Disadvantages for this jab is that it lacks horizonal range and that it whiffs completely on crouching opponents.

Special cancellable. A quick standing, low kick. Unlike previous years, Kyo had the ability to cancel this kick into his other normals, like his df+D for example.

Not cancellable. Jumping turn kick. It has great reach and can be used to avoid some attacks that are aimed low as well, but it's a little slow. Kyo is minus on block during this kick, but he does get pushed back a small amount from the opponent. You can try to use this to bait mashing or jumping if the opponent is trying to get out of the corner. Overall, it is a decent poke but it can be beaten out by incoming hop attacks.

Cancellable. Up close strong punch. Due to its speed, it is a bnb/combo starter of choice. Defensively it is best to use this move if your opponent is trying jump over your head, because of it's vertical height, or as a quick punish because of its fast start-up.

Jumping punch attack. A great jump-in move that does good damage. It points down at a 60 degree angle which good for jumping in with. If you use it as an air-to-air it may get beaten out by jump attacks that have a more horizontal hitbox. Defensively you can use it while you are jumping away against opponents trying to advance on you in mid-range, either by them jumping at you, or running towards you. You can also use it to jump away after blocking a j.CD if the opponent likes to hop at you afterwards to continue pressure.

A very useful air-to-air kick that should be used earlier than later because of it's range. A great move to be used defensively to keep advancing opponents out.

Cancellable. Air shoulder tackle. It comes out pretty quick and delivers a chunk of hit-stun like many other CD attacks. It has a pretty massive hit box, though the range is pretty short.

Only cancellable from a canceled normal.
Kyo's axe kick that hits crouching opponents but has limited cancel properties. Unlike KOF02's Kusanagi, Kyo's overhead isn't ridiculous at all in this game and is somewhat subpar in this game. On block it is around -2 frames, while he receives a fair amount of pushback from the opponent, which makes it hard to punish.
Unfortunately you cannot combo into this move from any of Kyo's normals, but it seems to have cancel properties on block when canceled from a normal like cl.C, f+B, hcb+B, which the hcb+B will connect into. There really isn't a point to doing that, especially if the normal cannot combo into it.
It is possible to HD activate from this overhead by itself into a combo which is pretty good. Even if the opponent is blocking, you can raw activate into HD, then go low immediately (cr.B or df+D) to catch them off guard when the were still busy from blocking the overhead, into a damaging HD combo.

Free cancel-able on 1st hit, hits low twice.
It has good range, connects after crouch normals and his st. C fairly well. You can also free cancel this move into his special moves incase you need a quick low aiming punish if his cr.B is out of range. This move is not safe on block at all, even if performed at a end of a blockstring (ex. cr.B, cr.A, df+D). If a character has a fast special move (or DM) that can reach him while he's recovering, he can get punished rather hard. You MAY get away with it if a certain character lacks a move that can punish him or if the player doesn't realize that isn't safe, but still use this move on block sparingly.

Two-handed downward haymaker attack.
If successfully used as an air-to-air it slams the opponent to the ground for a hard knockdown. It has a lot of hit stun so it can be used to jump-in and start a combo. When used during a backdash it makes him hop backward further and quicker. It can also be used as a cross-up too. This move isn't fool proof though. Your opponent can cr.B anti-air this move by carefully placing a cr.B to shrink their hitbox if the j.2C was performed early. It is also not a good idea to use this move as an air-to-air attack, j.D is much suitable for that.
You can combo 2 j.2C's in a row on a standing opponent by hitting the first one really low around the waist area of the character's sprite, the IMMEDIATELY hyper hopping performing the second hit as early as possible. The two hits give 97 damage.

D version goes full-screen. Both are unsafe on block.
What should be noted is that Kyo recovers very quickly on whiff and that he travels forward much faster than he would while running. This move can be used as an alternate dash if the opponent is knocked down to add pressure. When Kyo gets close enough while the opponent is on knocked down, he will stop abruptly - he can guard badly timed reversals or go for an offensive mix up. Use this move cautiously because it is impossible to stop Kyo from traveling during this move and it is still unsafe on block.

D version launches the opponent higher into the air for a possible follow-up and can be super canceled upon second hit. The B version is more useful within his combos in the corner, and can also combo into his EX Orochinagi (qcb~hcf+AC) midscreen. Defensively, the opponent can mash a reversal attack in between his first and second kick. If the second kick is blocked, Kyo is pretty safe at -2 frames, and can even possibly frame trap them with a move with fast start-up. Compared to EX Kyo, both of the kicks release with one button instead of two, and it seems that EX Kyo's launches the opponent up a bit higher.

Same amount of start-up as the heavy kick version (18f), has a longer attacking range, very short amount of upper body (above his waist) invincibility during its start, safe on block, with no gaps in between the first and second hit and launches the opponent higher. The disadvantages this move has is that the damage is quite low, along with is slow start-up makes its a very unreliable anti-air, especially against hops. It's upper body invincibility can be useful for phasing through mid-air waist to shoulder height projectiles (ex. Andy, Robert, Ash, Takuma, King) but not ground skimming ones (Terry's Power Wave). Super Cancel-able.

2 frame start-up if held briefly, causes more damage and does three hits instead of one. It's fast startup and range makes it great to use as a preemptive anti-air midscreen, or to catch opponents trying to jump out of the corner. The air version has faster startup and is very useful for extending many of Kyo’s corner combos. If you're feeling lucky, you can use this as an air-to-air, or to attempt to snuff out someones anti-air against you. Max Cancel-able on ground, on hit.

Air flaming wave attack. It mimics the ground version except done in the air now and pushes Kyo back slightly after activation. You will most likely be using this more in Kyo's drive cancels or HD combos. It's start up is a little slow to use as an air to air reliably.
