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 can also carry his opponent across the screen with moves such as Kai and Oborogurma. 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.

Strategies

"Food for thought, ya know."

Far Range

  • Kyo can't do much of anything here except zone, use Yamibarai to try and build some meter while your out of range, and if your opponent wants to zone back try throwing out a random EX as they're not likely to see it coming, drive and super canceling is out the window for now, random Kotokskio's aren't a good idea either by the way.

Mid Range

  • From this range Kyo can do some damage, Yamibarai is still good but only if you time well, Oniyaki can also get some use for those opponents that like to jump-in, CD + Kotokskio shenanigans can work but not all the time, Weak Oborogurma can also be used an anti-air which can then be super canceled into his Air Orochinagi for extra damage, and if don't mind burning the extra drive and meter you can use his Neomax Ama No Murakumo to stuff laggy moves/fireballs and jump-ins.

Close Range

  • This is where Kyo does his best, Yamibarai can be super canceled upon execution when you are this close, his EX Oniyaki will suck the opponent in when they attempt a jump-in which can be super canceled as well, Kyo can se his Naraku Otoshi to start BnB's/Combos from jump-ins, he can also free cancel the first hit of 88 Shiki into a variety of moves (Kotokskio/Kai/etc), he gains a command grab with EX Kotokskio, just about every option of drive/super canceling is open to him now.


Cornered Opponent

  • Everything from close range applies here except 100x more Oborogurma, Kotokskio, and Air Orochinagi, HD mode is highly recommended.


Cornered

  • Get out of the corner, strong Kotokskio or GCR is you have to.
