The King of Fighters XIII/Kyo Kusanagi
Gameplay Overview
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.

Special Moves
Yamibarai = (qcf+P) - A flame projectile that goes across the ground towards the other side of the screen, weak version slowly goes across the ground, the strong version goes much faster
(EX) = qcf+AC - Comes out very quickly making it very easy to combo into, knocks opponent down
- Super Cancel-able on hit, need to be close
- Hit Detection: Low
- Damage: 60/100
Oniyaki = (dp+P) - An uppercut imbued with flames, has a wide hitbox so it punishes a lot of jump-ins (and some pokes) easily, weak version does one hit while the strong version does 3 hits, both versions make him rise into the air in a diagonal fashion, both versions can be drive/super canceled on the first hit
(EX) = dp+AC - Rises into the air vertically instead of diagonally, also has a vacuum effect on hit pulling them into the uppercut, has more invincibility/auto-guard and does 4 hits
- Drive/Super Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 55-25/80-25x2/70-20x9
Kotokskio = (hcb+K) - Rushing elbow to grab attack, very quick and has lower body invincibility at start-up, works well after most normals and juggle attacks, weak version goes about 75% of the screen and has good recovery, strong version goes full-screen
(EX) = hcb+BD close - Changes the properties to an instant command grab
- Drive/Super Cancel-able on first hit
- Hit Detection: High/Close
- Damage: 30-135/180
Oborogurma = (rdp+K) - Quick jump kick(s), weak version does one hit and juggles the opponent, strong version does three hits slamming the opponent down on the third hit, both versions are unsafe when whiffed, weak version can be drive/super canceled on the first hit while the strong/EX version can be super canceled on the second hit

- Super Cancel-able on the first and second hit
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 40/40x2-70/60x2-100
Kai = (qcf+K) - 2 jumping kick attacks, weak version simply knocks the opponent down but it's pretty safe, strong version launches the opponent higher into the air for a possible folow-up, can be super canceled upon second hit
(EX) = qcf+BD - Comes out much quicker making it easier to connect after his df+D
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 35x2/30x2/40x2
Desperation Moves
Orochinagi = (qcf hcb+P) - Flaming wave attack, does a nice amount of chip damage, hold to delay, both the ground and EX versions can be max canceled on hit
Air Orochinagi = (qcf hcb+P in air) - Air flaming wave attack, mimics the ground version except done in the air now, pushes Kyo back slightly after activation

- Max Cancel-able on ground
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 210/120x3
Neomax
Ama No Murakumo (qcfx2 +AC) - Kyo throws a small flame across the screen and if it hits the opponent fire pillars rise from the ground hitting the opponent ten times, comes out very quickly making it useful to punish everything from fireballs to laggy moves, however if it misses Kyo stands in place for about a second and a half leaving him wide open to be punished.
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 45x10
