Standing C is a backhand punch that is not cancel-able
Standing D is a sobat kick that has lower body invincibility
Crouch
cr. A/B/C is cancel-able
cr. B hits low
cr. C is a uppercut that has the same animation as Kusanagi's qcb+P
cr. D is a very fast sweep that is cancel-able and whiff cancel-able
Jump
Jumping A is ok air-to-air and does nice and easy cross up
Jumping B is a good air-to-ground tool especially during hops
Jumping C crosses-up
Jumping D is good to use as an air-to-air attack
Blowback Attack
Standing CD comes out slow, Decent range
Standing CD can OTG special moves(Dark Thrust) and DM's can combo if the opponent does not ground tech
Jumping CD can be used as an air-to-air and is good use for applying pressure
Throws
Anvil Slam - (b/f + C close)
Kyo-1 grabs the opponent and performs a shoulder thrust knocking them back.
Standard knockdown
Can be broken
Swift Shoulder Throw - (b/f + D close)
Kyo-1 flips the opponent and follows up with an elbow drop.
Standard grab
Can be broken
Command Moves
Kurokami - (f + A)
Kyo-1 steps in while shifting his body forward and strikes(Like a flame-less Poison Gnaw Fest). Kurokami is a decent command move due to it being able to cancel all special moves,DM's, SDM,and HSDM. It do not come out slow nor fast, and its one of the very few pokes he has. Kurokami can be mainly utilized as an poke and pressure tool.
Some cons about this move is that although it can cancel into all of his specials, it will not combo into some specials (Dark Thrust and New wave Smash)and his SDM(Serpent Wave). It is also punish-able if performed up close on block and if the opponent has a move that can reach him during his recovery.
Free Cancel-able
Honofuri - (f + B)
Kyo-1 takes two steps forward and uses his elbow to perform a overhead. Honofuri is a tricky overhead that has good speed and it deals good damage.
Overhead Attack
Special Cancel-able when cancelled into. Overhead property is lost but the move doesn't combo from any of his normals still.
Better suited as a Max mode starter (e.g. f+B, f+A~)
Instantaneous Smash - (df + C)
Kyo-1 strikes bends down to his knees and strikes the ground(OTG). When you perform a BnB or any combo that knocks an opponent to the ground and they fail to tech, Instantaneous Smash is the best tool to punish.
Has push-back if blocked but can be punished by special moves that can reach Kyo-1 during his recovery.
Hits Low
OTG (On The Ground) OK
Special Moves
Dark Thrust - qcf + A/C
Kyo-1 creates a fire in his hand and spikes it to the floor traveling towards the opponent. Unlike most projectiles Dark thrust comes out very slow and Can connect even if opponent is down. When you perform a combo and cannot reach the opponent for a df+C its best to resort to dark thrust for the OTG damage. It also has bad recovery so be mindful when using to zone.
OTG OK
Spinning Kick - dp + B/D
Kyo-1 performs a jumping roundhouse kick(B Version), Kyo-1 performs a two aerial roundhouse kicks and Knocks the opponents hard to the ground bry ending with an somersault heel kick. Spinning kick is Kyo-1 best special attack. It has most damage(varies from B or D), Combos from an launch, and its B version can be used as an anti-air. Spinning kick is primarily used in his BnB due to the lack of speed and reach most of his special attacks have.
New Wave Smash - qcf + B/D~K
Kyo-1 Performs a rising kick and can follow up with another airborne. New wave Smash (Like every other variation) is primarily used as a launch attack. Kyo-1's New wave Smash is fast but has poor range. The strong variant launches the opponent higher into the air and allows follow-ups because of the juggle after the second kick. The weak version also juggles but the follow-up will only hit while they're still about a neutral jumps distance from the ground.
Blue Ogre - qcb + A/C
Kyo-1 dashes forward while striking with his elbow and if it connects he performs a rising shoulder attack. It comes out very fast and is super cancel-able. Some drawbacks that this special move has is that its reach is very poor and leaves Kyo-1 completely open if blocked/whiff. Its best to use Blue Ogre as a punish tool.
Super Cancel-able
Desperation Moves
Serpent Wave - qcb, hcf + A/C(Push down to hold)
Kyo-1 Creates a small flame in his palm and then throws creating a large spark knocking the opponent back. Serpent Wave is on of the main reasons why Kyo-1 is dangerous at close range. It does good damage, can be canceled/combo into from a majority of his moves set, and has good range. When holding down on A/C the damage will not increase nor will it become unblock-able. A version has lower body invincibility and its C version has upper body invincibility and is great for punishing predicted jump-in's.
Vermilion Heaven Exorcism - qcf x 2 + A/C
Kyo-1 smashes the ground then a large flame circle his hand then swiftly burn across the ground. VHE (abbreviation) is a combination of his Instantaneous Smash and Dark Thrust and share both properties. The versions A/C dictate its effects. A version comes out very fast compared to his C, It launches the opponent airborne and can combo into. The C version is very slow, Has very great hit-stun, and cannot combo. Even though the C version takes longer the damage does not change.
OTG OK
Super Desperation Move
Serpent Wave - qcb, hcf + A/C
Kyo-1 mimics the same motions as his DM version but is completely surrounded with flames upon its completion. SDM version of Serpent wave has very little difference compared to his DM version. SDM version is slower, It has full body invincibility, and its damage significantly increase.
Hidden Super Desperation Move
Tenuuzan - qcb, hcf + BD
Kyo-1 Holds flames in his hand and instead of throwing them instantly he performs a heavy/swift strike then unleashes a barrage of flames knocking the opponent away. Tenuuzan does not have the invincibility of his DM and SDM versions, deals very good damage, and like his other versions it can combo from a majority of his BnB's and normals.
Combos
If the opponent doesn't tech-roll/quick rise, provided the combo doesn't already end with one you can follow it with an OTG df+C, qcf+C, or qcfx2+A.
You can't OTG after a grounded qcb,hcf+A/C unless it reaches the corner.
If dp+D doesn't reach the corner you can only OTG with run-in qcfx2+A when dp+D is done after cr.B, st.B or j.X, cl.C.
0 Stock
cr.Bx1~2, st.B, qcb+A / dp+D
dp+D whiffs on every crouchers but Daimon, Chang, and Maxima, Seth, Whip, Xiangfei.
j.X, cl.C, f+A, qcb+A / dp+D
dp+D is fairly inconsistent unless you reach the corner and whiffs on everyone crouching but Daimon, Chang, and Maxima, Seth, Whip, Xiangfei. If unsure, remove f+A.
cl.C, qcf+D>K, run dp+D
Delaying qcf+D's 2nd kick helps.

Misc
j.A, j.B and j.C can all be used to crossup. j.C won't work on crouching opponents aside from Daimon, Maxima, Chang. j.A is the better and most consistent option.
qcfx2+C DM will stun the opponent allowing a followup if only the fireball part hits them (hits low). qcfx2+C has invincibility.
qcb,hcf+BD has complete invincibility until you let it go (can be held by holding BD)
qcb,hcf+A has lower body invincibility, C version has upper body.
