Introduction
Top-tier character (Maybe in top 3 of best no-banned characters in kof99).
His gameplay is focusing around mid/close range poking and rushdown.
Doesn't get a command throw.
the only character in the game who can dizzy in 2 combos which is probably the main reason for its admittance among the top-tier characters.
his meterless combos do a lot of damages.
Owns a Reversal DP.
Kyo gets not less than 4 jump attacks who can cross-up opponent : j+B, j+C, j+D and j+d+C
he is destructive when he puts the opponent in the corner. Best Armor Mode Character.
His SDM Orochi Nagi can not be countered if opponent doesn't get meter. Although if used with Striker Clark, his Orochi Nagi can combo which of course makes colossal damages.
His mixups is very good.
His Striker isn't so bad, given you cannot roll this striker really even if he isn't a top-tier Striker.
