Special Moves
Dark Thurst [Yami Barai]: qcf + A/C
- Kyo's grounded projectile
- Either version can be used to space or as pushback in a blockstring.
- Light version travels slower. Can be linked from a fullscreen distance to someone in the corner.
- Heavy version travels faster. Deals a bit more damage than light.
Fire Ball [Oniyaki]: dp + A/C
- Kyo's DP. Can be combo'd into from most normals.
- Soft knockdown
- The hitbox is all around Kyo.
- Light version deals one hit. Safer to use in combos.
- Heavy version deals two hits, travels higher, and has more invincibility, making it a good reversal.
Spinning kick [Oboroguruma]: rdp + B/D
- Can be combo'd into from most normals.
- Will whiff on crouching opponents.
- Light version has Kyo do an upwards jump kick. If the opponent is hit by this move in the air, they're put in a juggleable state.
- Soft knockdown
- Heavy version has Kyo fly through the air a 3/4 screen distance with two of the upwards kicks, then flips forward with his foot sending the opponent into the ground.
- Heavy version is a good corner carry. Deals more damage than dp+C.
- Hard knockdown
New Wave Smash [Kai]: qcf + K, K (B or D)
- Kyo jumps up with one foot, then after pressing kick again, kicks with the other.
- 2nd hit juggles the opponent
- Soft knockdown
- Light version only allows for dp+p to connect.
- Heavy version can be followed up with dp+p/rdp+k/hcb+k/DM. Can also link into the light version.
Crescent Slash [Kototsuki Yo]: hcb + B/D
- Kyo runs after the opponent, faster than his normal run, then hits the opponent with his elbow into an explosive, one-handed choke.
- On-hit command grab. Very unsafe on block.
- Can be combo'd into from heavy normals and f+B.
- Hard knockdown
