| At a glance, you might think that Kyoko is a grappler character. However, while she does sport a command grab and a unique anti-air grab special, Kyoko is, surprisingly, far more well-suited to a close-range pressure game backed up by some dirty setplay. Sporting strong combos, one of the few four-hit aerial chains in the game, and powerful okizeme with EX Sazanka, Kyoko excels at overwhelming the opponent and not giving them a chance to breathe. However, this strength comes at the cost of a somewhat linear neutral game -- with her aerial normals being her primary way to start offense, she suffers against characters with good space control options. She also very heavily relies on meter to get going, so properly managing your resources is paramount to making Kyoko work.
| | With her command grab, anti-air throw and suite of catch counters, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Kyoko is best played as a grappler. But despite what her kit might tell you, Kyoko is a character who relies much more on her powerful striking attacks to set up looping 50/50 setplay. With one of the game's few four-hit aerial chains, high damage combos and consistent access to hard knockdowns with EX {{Tooltip|text=Sazanka|hovertext=623K}}, Kyoko is more than capable of overwhelming the opponent with her offense and not giving them a chance to breathe. Unfortunately, this powerful offense comes at the expense of not just meter, which she requires a decent amount of to keep up her offense, a linear neutral game -- with her air normals being her primary means of establishing space control and approaching, she can suffer against patient opponents who are willing and able to control her movement. |

| * Weak long-distance options force her to take to the skies, leaving her open to anti-airs | | * '''Weak Ground Game:''' Kyoko is not particularly well-equipped to play at further distances on the ground, which often forces her into the skies, leaving her open to anti-airs or aerial intercepts by smart opponents. |
| * Lack of ground chains makes it difficult for her to confirm combos | | * '''Limited Combo Routes:''' While Kyoko's combo damage is quite high, her grounded chain options are highly limited, giving her little in the way of actually confirming the combos she wants to land. |
| * High dependence on meter forces her to be very mindful of her resources | | * '''Meter Hungry:''' With EX Sazanka being such an important tool in Kyoko's combos both for damage and okizeme, she is often forced to make tough meter management decisions, which can either disrupt her ability to maintain momentum, or her options for getting aggressive opponents off her. |

| |description= SECRET: Essentially HP Ominaeshi, but with a notable difference to Otokoeshi: in exchange for a smaller hitbox and incredibly reduced damage (only dealing 1pt), it builds significantly more meter than other versions of the move -- a quarter of a bar on whiff, and half a bar on hit! Unlike most other secret moves, this is extremely useful for Kyoko, since meter is so important to the rest of her gameplan. However, bear in mind that when in range, Jinchouge will take priority over this move. Also unlike a lot of other secret moves, this does not overlap with an EX or Super, meaning you can continue to use it after you build 1 bar.

|
| |
| = Strategy =
| |
| Because Kyoko lacks good long-range options for neutral, your best bet is to try and build meter by whiffing your air chains if your opponent decides to back off. If you can successfully goad them into coming to you, you can intercept their approach by jumping toward them with your fantastic aerial buttons and try to establish offense. If you find yourself on the defensive, you have some solid guard cancel options and EX Ominaeshi, so don't forget to use those if you need some breathing room. Remember that Kyoko is very highly dependent on meter to really make the best of her tools, so make sure you stay on top of your resource management.
| |
|
| |
| Kyoko's okizeme starts with landing EX Sazanka. From here, you want to dash jump into j.HK. This effectively sets up an ambiguous left-right mixup, with the side you end up on depending on the timing of your button press. Since the resulting combo you land from this generates a fair amount of meter, you can loop this okizeme setup for a pretty decent amount of time, cashing out a ton of damage in the process.

|
| |
| == Combos ==
| |
| ''For all combos ending with Ominaeshi, Otokoeshi is assumed unless you're super cancelling. If you are, you can cash out some meter by cancelling Ominaeshi into EX Sazanka, or cancelling Otokoeshi into EX Ominaeshi xx EX Sazanka.''

Kyoko is an aggressive setplay character who uses her dominant aerial options to score knockdowns that set up ambiguous left/right okizeme.
