1. About me (who cares right?)
My name is Jeff AKA Weltall 2 on GAMEFAQS.com. I live in New Jersey. I have
playing 2D fighters ever since the first Street Fighter game was released. I
always use to use Ken and Guile. I've evolved and I Hardly use them now. Yun
is one of my favorites to use in CvsS 2. Along with Kyo, Athena, and Terry.
My favorite Fighting game as of now is Street Fighter Alpha 3 (Zero 3). I love
to use Guy in Alpha 3. Now enough about me. On with the FAQ.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Quick Profile
Kusanagi Kyo is the descedant of the Kusanagi clan. A clan, with the Yagami,
sealed the Orochi thousands of years ago. He has the ability to create flames
on his hands at will. Due to his love of fighting and lack of studying, he is
still in school despite his age and has a girlfriend who is one of the most
important things to him. Iori is his rival and fights Kyo not because of the
grudge between the Yagami or Kusanagi. Just for the reason that he wants to be
better and beat him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Why use Kyo?
Kyo has been dramatically changed since CvsS. For one, he has recieved his
Doukigami back. He doesn't lean as far as he does in the KOF series, but it is
still a bit farther than Aragami. The autoguard part is back for alittle bit.
His Final Showdown Pillar has gotten alot wider than in CvsS which is the way
it should be. Also his Orochi Nagi has a faster start up, but still not as
fast as KOF. Kyo is a great balance in power and speed. Use Kyo if you're not
much of a comboing person and use single hits to win matches.

6. Special Moves
Special moves are the pinnacle of any fighter. They are usually used to start
or end combos. Don't abuse them though, because most specials have slow
recovery time and you'll get owned.
Aragami - QCF + WP/SP
Kyo Thrust forward with his hand and punches inward with flames in his hands.
It's the beggining of a short chain of attacks. Make sure to not chain anymore
than you already have if it's blocked.
Konokizu - QCF + P (after Aragami)
Kyo punches upward. Second chain of the Aragami attack.
Yasabi - HCB + P (after Aragami)
Kyo knocks the opponent down on the ground. Slower than Konokizu. Second chain
of Aragami attack.
Nanase - K (after Konokizu/Yasabi)
Kyo kicks forward while dashing forward a bit. Third chain of Aragami attack.
Migiriugachi - P (after Konokizu/Yasabi)
If it is chained after Konokizu, Kyo does a downward elbow. If chained after
Yasabi, Kyo punches the opponent on the ground with a flaming fist. Third
chain of Aragami Attack.
Doukigami - QCF + FP
Kyo leans forward punching with the other fist outward. Flames come out of his
fists. Can be chained into more attacks, but with less options than Aragami.
Tsumiyomi - HCB + P (after Doukigami)
Kyo does a rising backhand with his Aragami fist. Second chain of the Doukigami
attack.
Batsuyomi - R + P (after Tsumiyomi)
Kyo does a rising shoulder block for 2 hits. Don't use it if the opponent has
already blocked the Doukigami and Tsuyomi. Third chain of the Doukigami attack.
Oniyaki - FDD + P
Kyo does a rising anti-air attack with his arms spread and twisting with flames
going around him. Good attack. Don't use the FP version if you don't have to.
If you opponent is on the grond, use the WP version.
R.E.D. Kick - BDD + K
A kick where Kyo jumps up and high, then falls down with an axe sort kick. This
is a great move as it comes out fast. It's range has been lost. It goes higher
instead with a stronger kick.
Kai - QCF + K then K
Kyo does a double rising kick and if you press K after that, he'll do another
kick. An underated move. I don't usually go for it unless it's for fun.
Oboroguruma - FDD + K
One of Kyo's oldest moves. Kyo does a rising kick. Depending on the kick button
pressed, he'll do more kicks. The last one knocks the opponent down.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Desperate moves/Supers
Desperate moves (or DMs) are used when either your guage is filled up, or if
you are using S groove, have a flashing bar. The hit for alot more damage than
special moves and are usually variations of the special moves. Most of the DMs
have lag and bad recovery time so only use it if you're sure you will hit the
opponent, otherwise you might take a nasty beating afterwards.
Final Showdown - QCF x 2 + P
This is one of my favorite DMs ever. Kyo forms a pillar that goes all the way
up the screen, then he does a couple of Doukigami punches at the opponent. The
harder the punch, the more attacks he does. A bunch of Doukigami punches at
WP, SP adds a couple of Aragami punches, and FP adds a Oniyaki to end it. Even
though it has been greatly improved from the first installment, it still lacks
the capabilities it had in the KOF series where Kyo actually leans forward to
pull it off and if it was blocked, there use to be an automatic guard crush.
Orochi Nagi (Serpent Wave) - QFB, HCF + P (hold to delay)
Kyo powers up his flame then lashes out a clump of flames at the opponent. Has
better startup now and more range. Use this move as an anti-air as it comes
out fast. For best results on level 3 or max, try to use it as near as
possible toward the opponent and hold the button down.I still prefer Final
Showdown more though.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. General Combos
Kyo has alot of good combos. Good to chain with the Aragami moves.
Jump in deep. FP, WP, WP, QCF + P x 2, P
Jump in deep. FP, crouchin FP, FDD + P
(C Groove only Level 3)
Jump in deep. FP, WP, WP, QCF x 2 P, cancel, repeat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. General Strategies
Generally, you want Kyo to be a tight comboer. Stick on your opponent and
don't run for cover unless you'r elow on health. You want to start up every
combo with a jumping FP. Kyo can cancel moves so use that to your advantage.
Against shotoers, you can just use the same basic strategy. They are nothing
compared to Kyo.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Final Thoughts
I like Kyo, because of the potential of his moves. Most of his special moves
are pretty damaging and his attacks are rather quick compared to the first
game. He's a pretty good multi-hitter as well. He's not as fast as most of the
characters, but his combos make up for it.
