| description =EX Kyo is a balanced fighter that has tools to fight at all ranges. In neutral, he has access to a grounded projectile, a good 623, and a super backdash, alongside some decent pokes for controlling space with. Up close, he has an excellent pressure tool in his air command normal that allows for strong blockstrings and also works as a good crossup. His combo game from heavies is excellent due to his special launcher and his multiple hard knockdown finishers. He also benefits from cornering the opponent, as he gets access to more damaging corner combos. His main weakness is his pretty weak low confirm options.}}

Introduction

EX Kyo is a balanced fighter that has tools to fight at all ranges. In neutral, he has access to a grounded projectile, a good 623, and a super backdash, alongside some decent pokes for controlling space with. Up close, he has an excellent pressure tool in his air command normal that allows for strong blockstrings and also works as a good crossup. His combo game from heavies is excellent due to his special launcher and his multiple hard knockdown finishers. He also benefits from cornering the opponent, as he gets access to more damaging corner combos. Compared to regular Kyo, his main weakness is a weaker offence game due to the absence of the Aragami/Dokugami rekka chains, the Saishu Kessen Ougi Mu Shiki desperation move and R.E.D. Kick.

  • Two-handed hammerfist.
  • Has a ton of hitstun and blockstun on grounded opponents, allowing Kyo to continue pressure.
  • Causes a hard knockdown on airborne opponents.
  • Great crossup. Aim to have Kyo's bent legs right over the opponent's head.

Special Moves

108 Shiki Yami Barai: 236A/C

  • EX Kyo's grounded projectile. C version goes faster and does a bit more damage than the A version.
  • Either version can be used to control space or to safely end a blockstring.

100 Shiki Oniyaki: 623A/C

  • EX Kyo's 623. Can be combo-ed into from most cancelable normals.
  • Causes a soft knockdown.
  • Has both autoguard and invincibility at the beginning of the move.
  • The hitbox is all around EX Kyo, but does not extend as high as his normal variant.
  • A version deals one hit and is safer to use in combos; C version deals two hits, travels higher, and has more invincibility, making it a good reversal.

101 Shiki Oboro Guruma: 421B/D

  • Can be combo-ed into from most normals.
  • Will whiff on crouching opponents.
  • B version has EX Kyo do an upwards jump kick. If the opponent is hit by this move in the air, they're put in a juggle state, which ends in a soft knockdown if not followed up.
  • D version has Kyo fly through the air, traveling roughly 3/4 of the screen, with two of the upwards kicks, then flips forward with his foot, sending the opponent into the ground. Has good corner carry, deals more damage than 623C, and causes a hard knockdown with good okizeme. Your ideal combo ender.

75 Shiki Kai: 236B/D,B/D

  • EX Kyo does an upwards jumping kick, then a second one after the kick button is pressed a second time.
  • Second hit juggles the opponent; if not followed up, it deals a soft knockdown.
  • B version only allows for Oniyaki to connect afterward, while the D version can be followed up with a variety of moves, including the B version.

212 Shiki Kototsuki You: 63214B/D

  • EX Kyo runs after the opponent, faster than his normal run, then performs a hitgrab.
  • Very unsafe on block.
  • Can be comboed into from heavy normals and the cancelled version of 6B.
  • Causes a hard knockdown, allowing for an okizeme opportunity.

  • Kyo throws a wave of fire in front of him.
  • Causes a soft knockdown.
  • Regular version does one hit. C version seems to have slightly faster startup and can combo from heavy attacks on the ground.
  • A version has lower-body invincibility.
  • C version has upper-body invincibility.
  • MAX version has Kyo set his own body on fire, having its own hitbox with up to 3 hits. The fire wave itself does 3 hits as well.
  • Both versions can be juggled into from heavy Kai/Upkicks.
  • If timed right, only two hits of the MAX version will connect. This puts the opponent in a juggle state that can be followed up with Oniyaki or Oboro Guruma.

(j.B/j.D/j.2C), cl.C, 236D,D, j.2C/63214D/421D
Combo off of a grounded heavy or crossup jump-in. j.2C ender must be done off a superjump, and 421D ender requires a short run before doing.
