Strategy

With his air dwn C hammerfist, his options obliterate defense and only those with a veritable instant anti air stand a chance against him. One mistake will lead to a 50% combo, minimum.

The biggest change for KOF13 players is using his EX RED kick to continue combos, as it sets up a juggle.

His crouch A, B, stand A and C are all four frames so he is excellent at punishing and countering.

His HCB K has lower invincibility so he can run over fireballs (but not at startup)

A proficient Kyo user will practice the distance to land his hop dwn C crossup, it differs and depends on whether the opponent is crouching or not. Try crouching B twice (not blocked) and then hyper hopping. Crouch B (not blocked) then normal hop.

He has lost the easy cr B stand B qcf A combo, however. He does still have his backdash escape route (see video below).

ET throwing out crazy stuff

 

An interesting discovery. Kyo can punish qcb+A in the corner with A DP, but not midscreen. Thanks @frionel26 pic.twitter.com/1ZP45vjuMn

Opponent doesn’t want to block? Ok

Punish Shun

This works with s.C because shun is forced to stand after qcb+A so Redkick combo is possible, tag @orochinagicom
