Swift Shoulder Throw: (close) b/f + D


Command Moves

Thundering Axe Burst: f + B

Drop to Naraku: (in the air) down + C

  • Double-handed hammer fist.
  • Hard knockdown on airborne opponents.
  • Great cross-up. Aim to have Kyo's bent legs right over the opponent's head.

  • Kyo kicks near the ground twice, one foot then the other.
  • Hits low, even when cancelled into.

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
  • 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.
  • 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

Desperation Moves

Serpent Wave: qcb, hcf + A/C
