The Yellow Life Gauge serves as the 1st half of your life, as the Red Life Gauge serves the 2nd half of your life. The Red Life Gauge is something to pay attention too, especially when it comes time to use your Exceed. More on that below. Guard Gauge- This gauge is under the Life Gauge. It's a GREEN Gauge that operates on Block Damage. With each attack you block, the gauge starts to deplete. Once the Guard Gauge runs out, words will appear on the screen saying, "Guard Crash!!". At the same time, your GUARD will be broken, while being STUNNED for a brief moment. Thus, leaving yourself open for a attack. Once you've been GC, your Guard Gauge will return to normal. Front Ground Step- f, f Dashing is quite different from what it was in the KoF games. FGS is a new type of dash that has the opponent slide forward. The distance it covers is around 6 steps (Sweep Distance). But what's so unique about this Dash is that you can cancel out of it at anytime. The FGS can be canceled from a regular attack, specials, supers, throws, and even taunts. Falling Recovery Roll- AB before hitting the ground Whenever hit by an attack that knocks you to the ground, you can recover before hitting the pavement. This command will only work if hit by basic attacks, special attacks, Super Moves that knock ya on to the ground. Throws- when close, AB or CD SvC has adapted to the 2 Button Throws from SFA3 and SFIII: 3rd Strike. The AB Throws are the type that toss the opponent in front of you, as the CD Throws toss the opponent behind you. The only downfall about the throws is that once you miss a throw attempt, you'll LOSE 1/5th of a Level. So be close as possible while attempting a throw. f + AB/CD may help too. Throw Escape- when grabbed, AB or CD If done correctly, you're character will push away the opponent about 2 steps away from you. All throws must be broken with the same buttons as the opponent is throwing you with. Meaning AB breaks AB and CD breaks CD Throws. Throw Escapes do not work in the air. Characters that can throw in the air are Ken, Violent Ken, Akuma/Gouki, Shin Akuma/Shin Gouki, Guile, Chun Li, Mai, and Vega/Balrog. Guard Cancel Front Step- when blocking, f, f (requires 1/5th of a Level) Quick Guard Cancel Front Step- when blocking, BC (requires 3/5th of a Level) When blocking an attack, your character will Front Ground Step towards the opponent. You're Character is INVICIBILE during the Front Ground Step, until you cancel out of it or wait till it the Front Ground Step ends. This move can be used as a way to escape Pressure Attacks and score Free Hits. Theres no difference between the Quick GCFS or the Normal GCFS, it's just the the BC version is a shortcut if you can't do the f, f version. Guard Knockdown Attack- when blocking, CD (requires 1 Power Stock/Level) When blocking an attack, your character will perform the CD Attack, which will knock the opponent away from you. In SvC, the Guard Knockdown Attack deals a little damage to the opponent. Great to distance yourself from the opponent though. MAXIMUM Mode Activation- When Power Gauge reaches Level 3 Returning from KoF'2k2 with new abilties. Max Mode occurs when you reach Level 3 on the Power Gauge. This results in your character gaining Cancel Abilities on certain attacks. You have 3 Levels in MAX Mode. MAX Mode has a Time Limit of at least 17 seconds. During this time you are allowed to..... -Perform 1 to 3 Super Moves/Desperation Moves (free in MAX Mode) -Perform Guard Cancel Front Step (reduces 1/5th or 3/5th of the MAX Mode Gauge) -Perform Guard Knockdown Attacks (requires 1 Level in MAX Mode) -Perform Free Cancels on Normal/Special Moves (reduces 1/4 of the MAX Mode Gauge each cancel) -Perform Super Cancels for the Super Moves/Desperation Moves (requires 1 Level in MAX Mode) -Perform Free Super Cancel on Exceed's -Damage Decreases by 25% on the opponent when hit with Special Attacks. Notes: WHITE Flashes will occur each time you "Cancel" into a special move. You are allowed to MAX Cancel Normal/Special Moves around 6-8 times. You cannot build up your Power Gauge during MAX Mode, unless the opponent Taunts. The taunt will build some power to the MAXIMUM Gauge. You lose more Power Meter on the MAXIMUM GAUGE if you do Free Cancels, S*/DM's, and Super Cancels. This results in shorten time in MAX Mode. Desperation Moves/Super Moves- (requires 1 Power Stock/Level) In order to use S*, you must fill up the Power Gauge to stock a S*. You can store up to 2 stocks. You can also get 3 more stocks of S* in MAXIMUM MODE. Most S* can inflict damage up to a Quarter of Health, on the Life Gauge. Exceed- requires 2nd Life Gauge with the Characters Name FLASHING RED Exceed Attacks are the lvl.3/SDM's of the game. In order to perform a Exceed, your 1st Life Gauge must be 50% (1/2 or more) gone. Once this is established, The NAME of your Character will begin to FLASH RED. During this time, you can perform the Ex. You are allowed only ONE Ex Attack per Match. Meaning, if you use it during Round-1, you won't be able to use the Ex in Round-2 or 3. REMEMBER, ONCE PER MATCH! Super Cancels- (requires 1 Power Stock/Level in MAXIMUM MODE) This feature is back from KoF2k2. The only difference is, that Super Cancels can only be done in MAXIMUM MODE. Super Canceling allows you to cancel special moves into S*/Ex. In order to Super Cancel, you must have a least 1 Power Stock/Level at the most. When the character starts to flash white, this indicates that you have successfully Super Canceled. Taunt- Start Button Each character has a taunt. While in the taunt, you may cancel out of it anything with anormal/special moves. By using the taunt, you give meter to the opponents Power Gauge. So use at your own risk. ===================== IV.

Strategies =============== --------- Offensive --------- Kyo is a great rushdown character. He has tons of moves to get to the opponent. Kyo's Aragami and Dokugami being 2 of the moves that can get you close to the opponent. Kyo's Naraku Otoshi (d + C in air) is a great short jump attack and pressure attacks. d + C can be used as a cross-up too. Kyo's jB is the same as d + C, except it's not as great as the Naraku Otoshi. Kyo can do alot of nasty stuff, if you cross-up with Naraku Otoshi. Kyo's cD is god! It can be canceled from special moves to DM's. You can use cD as a mind game. By switching up the special moves Kyo after you do his cD. Example, opponent is crouch blocking and you sweep (sweep doesn't hit), then go into Aragami, Yano Sabi (1), Migiri Ugachi. (mid, low, low hit). --------- Defensive --------- Kyo has many moves which can be his defense. Oniyaki is Kyo's only real anti-air attack. But you can replace Oniyaki with cC or Aragami w/autoguard. You can use C Version Orochi Nagi as a means of defense too. Kyo's sD works great as a poke attack, to keep opponents at bay. 88 Shiki (df + D) can come in handy when against mid-level projectile characters. He can go right under the normal/super projectiles (Shinkuu Hadouken comes to mind). Timing is critical. ------------------- Poke Attack Strings ------------------- Kyo has a few strings which can keep the opponent at bay. His strings are based on how he gets to the opponent, either running or short jumping towards them with a jA/C/D. This will also INCREASE your Power Gauge for Power Stocks. I'll list a few pokes such as..... cB, cA, cD (Bread and Butter String) cB, cA, cD, "B" R.E.D. Kick cB, cA, Aragami "Chain" Mix-ups (High/Low game) cB, cA, R.E.D. Kick cB, cA, cD, Aragami "Chain" Mix-ups (High/Low game) cB, cA, cD, 88 Shiki (Nice Pressure) cB, cA, cD, A Oniyaki cB, cA, cD, "B" R.E.D. Kick, A Oniyaki cB, cA, cD, "B" R.E.D. Kick, Aragami "Chain" Mix-ups (High/Low game) cB, cA, cD, "B" R.E.D. Kick, short jumping cX Naraku Otoshi cB, cA, cB, cD cB, sC, Aragami "Chain" Mix-ups cB, sC, 88 Shiki (Low/High game) cB, cA, FGS, Throw (AB/CD) cB, cA, FGS, cA, Throw (AB/CD) cB, cA, FGS, Naraku Otoshi/jB (cross-up) cB, cA, FGS, meaty attacks, back dashing d + C (great for baiting uppercuts) cB, cA, FGS, cD, cancel/whiff into Aragami Chains or B R.E.D. Kick cB, cA, FGS, Aragami (good for incoming projectiles) cB, cA, FGS, cD, 88 Shiki Note: On the cD, Remember to cancel/cancel out into the Special Move. ----------------------- Bread and Butter Combos ----------------------- These are just some of Kim's combos that are a MUST LEARN. cB, cA, df + D sC, f + B, Orochi Nagi (qcb, hcf + A/C) sA, f + B, 182 Shiki (qcf, qcf + A/C) sC/D, qcf + DD, Special Move/Super ---------- Recovering ---------- Kyo's wake up move would either have to be A Oniyaki, Aragami, A S* Orochi Nagi, Ex Mu Shiki, or his throws. The reason for C Oniyaki not being a good recovery move, is due to it's knockdown effect. C Oniyaki doesn't like to knockdown the opponent that much. --------- Anti-Airs --------- -A/C Oniyaki (dp + A/C) A version should only be used against people who plainly just jump-in. C version should be used for people who try crossing Kyo up. A version is much safer to use than the C vesion. The recovery time on the C version is awful. -Aragami (qcf + A) Use on early jump-ins. -R.E.D Kick (rdp + B/D) R.E.D Kick is a great anti-air too. It's arch can help you go over the opponents projectile and score a free hit. -cC This is good if you're just turtling. Plus, it's cancelable into special moves. Wroks very well once CC becomes a COUNTER HIT. -Ex Mu Shiki They jump towards you, they get BURNED by the Fire Pillar. Think FLAME SHIELD when the opponent jumps at you. Mu Shiki can juggle the opponent, if hit in mid-air. ---------- Air-to-Air ---------- -Naraku Otoshi (in air, d + D) This moves slams the opponent to the ground. If you knockdown the opponent with Naraku Otoshi, you wil be set up for an offensive attack. Nice jump-in for a combo starter too. Will be out some moves. Use if Opponent is in your face airborne. Overall a great air-to-air attack. -jD Probabaly his best air-to-air attack. Can be used to for jumping forward/backwards or straight up into the air. It's range is good. Only bad thing is, that it won't knockdown. Use this alot to jump back. ---------------- Cross Up Attacks ---------------- -jC Works well on Average to Tall Characters. -Naraku Otoshi Works better on Tall Characters. -jB His main cross-up on all characters. Better use, when opponent is crouching or waking up from a knockdown attack.. ----------------------- Front Grond Step (f, f) ----------------------- Kyo's FGS is a BIG part in his offensive game. You can dash and use A Oniyaki or sC (cB, sC is optional) when close to the opponent. I'd recommend you to dash and sC, into Aragami Chains. This while get your Power Gauge up and improve chances of a GUARD CRUSH. Dashing and poking are good tactics as well. His standing D is a nice poke, as well as his 88 Shiki. If you hit the opponent with 88 Shiki and go right into MAX MODE, just go into Dokugami or Kototsuki You. Dashing and Jumping set up alot of Kyo's jump-ins. Just running and doing a jumping d + D (Naraku Otoshi) into a sC is good enough. You can follow up with stuff of your own. You can also MIX IT up and DASH in with a cA, FGS, then throw. Of course there are more creative ways too. --------------------- Building Power Stocks --------------------- The best way to build those Power Stocks up, is either Kyo's Aragami or attack strings. -Aragami (qcf + A) Just using this move with poke strings and zoning alone can get you Power Meter in no time. If you knock the opponent down, you can do "B" R.E.D. Kick or 75 Shiki: Kai to build meter before they recover. ---------------------------------------- Mix-Ups after 75 Shiki: Kai (qcf + D, D) ---------------------------------------- A nice thing to do when you hit with qcf + D, D is doing mix-ups! What you do is hit them with qcf + D, D and run towards the airborne opponent and hit them with a "sC". Timing for this is CRITICAL. You must hit the opponent while they reach HEAD LENGTH to Kyo. This makes makes sC (stand C) CANCELABLE into ANY of his Special Moves. This tricks the opponent when they land and recover from the sC juggle. He's some nasty set-ups after sC..... -sC, into Oniyaki -sC, into "B" R.E.D. Kick -sC, into d + D (you can cancel out the Sweep into a Special Move) -sC, into Ex Mu Shiki -sC, into Aragami Chains -sC, into 88 Shiki -sC, into 75 Shiki: Kai ------ Throws ------ Kyo can get throws off easy by simply "Tick Throwing". Tick Throwing is done by hitting a opponent with a cA/B, then walk up and throw. While waking up from an attack, you can get a throw in. You can also do Kyo's Dokugami (qcf + C), then throw. You can also "WHIFF" a jD towards your opponent. When the jD Whiffs, you'll land right next to the opponent and be able to get a FREE Throw in. But you must attack with jD real late to WHIFF the jC animation. ------------- MISCELLANEOUS ------------- DM Orochi Nagi- There is a way to make DM Orochi Nagi come out much faster than usual. You must HOLD DM Orochi Nagi for at least 0.2/0.4 seconds, then RELEASE. This makes Kyo unleash his Crimson Wave much faster. The best way to practice is by WATCHING THE MOVEMENT of KYO'S BODY. When you see Kyo's Body PUSH BACK, that's when do DM Orochi Nagi. Without knowing this, you'll never be able to link some of Kyo's combos such as..... - sC, C Oniyaki(*), S* Orochi Nagi - 3-hits - cC/sC, Goufu You, S* Orochi Nagi - 3-hits - sA, Goufu You, S* Orochi Nagi - 4-hits - sB, sA, Goufu You, S* Orochi Nagi - 5-hits Super Canceling without having a Exceed Attack will result in the character to flash white. The Exceed won't come out, instead you WHIFF the Super Cancel. You can also do this while entering MAX MODE on your 1st Life Gauge. I still can't make heads or tails off this one. All characters can do this WHIFF SUPER CANCEL. It seems to have no strange properties like fast recovery time. -Back Dash (b, b) During Kyo's Back Dash, you can cancel into Naraku Otoshi (d + C). This will result with Kyo doing d + C and back dashing much further back. -Front Ground Step Buffering Kyo can buffer his 182 Shiki (qcf, qcf + A/C) from a FGS. Example would be, qcf, qcf, f + A/C. Same can be said with Mu Shiki (qcf, qcf + AC). ====================================== VIII. Kyo's Entrance and Winning Poses ====================================== Entrance 1- Kyo will stand in one place, while he's holding his wrist. Kyo then rises his arm up in the air, while a Flame is burning from his hand. Then, Kyo puts out the Flame and gets into his fighting position. Winpose 1- Kyo blows a Flame which is coming from his finger, and says "Hmph! Moetaro!" ("Hmph! You got burned!") Winpose 2- Kyo raises his arm into the air, then clenches his fist, while saying "Ore no kachi da!" ("This is my victory!"). Time Over Pose- Kyo turns torwards the background and clenches his fist, with a pissed off look on his face. Character Select Screen Pose- Kyo stands in one place with his finger waving in the air. =============== IX. Extra Stuff =============== --------------------------- 1.
