With some nice match-up coverage tools sprinkled in ({{Hover|st.D|D}}), Kyo proves to be a potentially very strong character with an answer to most midrange situations although still lacking when further away.<br> | Although the main focus is on starting his own offense, Kyo does also have some good tools to protect his space and defend himself (nj.B, {{Hover|dp+P|623P}}).

Very lackluster range for such a slow button with a severe lack of active frames, an unsettling tendency to be whiff punished and no conversion whatsoever. To put it bluntly this move could do double the damage with double the speed and it would still be pretty bad but it doesn't even have that. Mostly appears when messing up cl.C's spacing, frustration usually ensues. | Very lackluster range for such a slow button with a severe lack of active frames, an unsettling tendency to be whiff punished and no conversion whatsoever.

A cancelable standing elbow with too poor priority and average speed to make up for its short range. Can be used as a meaty against [[The_King_of_Fighters_2002_UM/Advanced_Strategy#Reversal_Superjump|wake-up super jump]] to then link the more rewarding but riskier cl.C after it.<br> | |||

A very fast and cancelable uppercut with deceptively good range that serves as Kyo's main combo starter and then extends higher for a good secundary grounded anti-air against hops. Can be 1f linked off {{Hover|cr.B|2B}} for a good frametrap on block but a somewhat limited conversion on hit without max mode.<br> | |||

{{Hover|qcf+A|236A}}'s main limitation is its speed, being on the slow side for a rekka, and despite the initial step-in contributing a good amount to its range it's very vulnerable until the hitbox is out.

All reasons why {{Hover|qcf+A|236A}} is prone to being pre-emptively stuffed and why it's vital to mind its spacing and not abuse it without some frame advantage.<br> | {{Hover|qcf+A|236A}}'s main limitation is its speed, being on the slow side for a rekka, and despite the initial step-in contributing a good amount to its range it's very vulnerable until the hitbox is out.

Although a bit less safe than {{Hover|qcf+A for having more recovery and less pushback, spacing qcf+C|236A for having more recovery and less pushback, spacing 236C}} out can still leave Kyo in a very safe position. Issue being the lack of knockdown and conversion at said spacing. All this makes {{Hover|qcf+C in neutral a slower and less damaging qcf+A|236C in neutral a slower and less damaging 236A}} with more range but overall worse as a mid-range poke.<br> | Although a bit less safe than {{Hover|qcf+A for having more recovery and less pushback, spacing qcf+C|236A for having more recovery and less pushback, spacing 236C}} out can still leave Kyo in a very safe position.

Gameplay Overview
The main main protagonist is back with the same Nests rekka style but long time fans will surely notice and enjoy some welcomed improvements. With a limited but good set of mid range tools to keep the opponent pinned down (
st.B, qcf+A
B, 236A) Kyo then aims to force his way in (j.D/CD) to do what he's best at, pressuring and mixing up the opponent (
cr.B, j.B/d+C
2B, j.B/2C) until landing a solid cl.C for great meterless and meter conversions.
Although the main focus is on starting his own offense, Kyo does also have some good tools to protect his space and defend himself (nj.B,
dp+P
623P). With some nice match-up coverage tools sprinkled in (
st.D
D), Kyo proves to be a potentially very strong character with an answer to most midrange situations although still lacking when further away.
With great power comes great execution. With a number of simple and decent options to fall back on, a tough wall to break to master Kyo will be building up the execution for his optimal meter conversions that make him shine as an anchor.
