I've tried tapping B like crazy (the secrets out now, i can talk about it), but it doesnt work for me. Is there a rhythm, or an amount of times to press it, or a certain time?

Does punches really work? That would work better for me, i tap A, C, like mad when doing Yama's DM in 2k2.

BTW, have anyone noticed Kyo's f+B?

It see to have more range and always hits 2 hit AFAIK when canceled. And we all know 2 hit stuns a whole deal of time.

Crouch B Crouch A f+B connects too, 4 hits. You can continue with other stuff(Which I don'y really know what to continue).

Next, AC Tactical Step, anyone played with it? It seem to be the thing in NGBC to prolong combos from what I see.

Just a random though, I never really tried.

Crouch B, Crouch A, f+B(The stun should be long), AB(Cancel), C, +C, +C, +A, +K, +C, +D, [dp+Ax3] or [dp+C, ,QCF+C]

The main deal of this thing is that it starts from a crouch poke. Just some random though, don't know if it acctually work.

I don't think you can tactical step a command move....

So be satisfied with a down b, down a, B, Orochinagi, I suppose.

Oh... Oh well. Just a random thought heh.

Any help on crouch B Crouch A f+B? Sometimes it does +B,B though. I did return it to neutral then to forward.

Empyrian is right. You cant AB a command move.

I also found out something interesting. When opponent is in the corner Kyo can stand C, +D, D, +p and end with two +As.

Ouch.

Flashy but not much extra damage. I spose every little bit counts tho. dpA seems to be able to connect to pretty much anything that leaves a person in the air, juggled or not. And then seems to connect to itself as long as you keep the opp. above the ground.
If only we had a Ryo striker...

Upon experiment, I found that +B isn't SCable anymore, and +P is SCable.

Upon reading the Arcadia scans, it stats that
+D is super cancelable in the first few frames
+C is super cancelable in the first hit in the first few frames
+A(Aragami) is SCable too... .

However, I did manage to pull of +A -> ,QCF+P many times. So yeah, arcadia scans might not be accurate.

Thought +D was SCable too, just didnt' try. What surprised me is that aragami is SCable, which was a surprise. +D and +C can SC into any of kyo's DM, +A only into kyo's MuShiki and Orochinagi.

O.o.

I noticed. Crouch B Crouch A +B,B is totally safe.

If it gets blocked, just delay the second B. If he tries to do anything(seldom, and its hard too), just tap it and it comes out instantly. He gets hit. Else delay the second B till near the end of the allowed timeframe. If done correctly, you just touch the ground as the second B comes out, and you're totally free to move. Its a safe crouch combo. VERY SAFE. I only noticed the usefulness of delaying the second B today XD.

I know when to tap punch for it to work. I think tapping A B C or D would work, but didn't try it out.

After everything, theres a short lag near the end, during that lag, tap.

He's defintely top tier in my books considering his counterparts from some KOF series! =)

Anyways, I don't think anyone has mentioned this before, but Kyo can do this: Jump C, stand C, + D WITHOUT the opponent in the corner!

I've been playing the king of fighters series and usually Kyo can't do this combo unless the opponent is in the corner. Don't know how useful this move is anymore since he's got a new chain combo.

His new chain combo (QCF + C, + C, + A, + B, + C) is very effective. If the opponent is too far for Kyo to execute his + D after the new chain, I always do + A, + A, F + A just because it reaches the opponent and takes just as much damage.

Kyo can do that in 2k3, as well as the previous KOFs. The first hit would usually hit(Unless he is too too far), the second hit would hit only if he hits the jump C really really close.

After Kyo's new chain, i find it best to either DA to confirm the damage in the red meter, or to +C xx qcfx2+C if opp is low on life, to finish off.

Having problem doing +C -> ,QCF+P... >_>. BTW, does aragami sc? Arcadia scans say so and can cancel into mushiki but I can't do it X_X

Qcf A does cancel into Mushiki but I never got it to combo. XD

In fact, I read somewhere that if you can punch SC to Orochinagi as anti air consistently, Kyo basically shuts down your aerial options.
