I like using Kyo and definately want him on my team.
I’ve read both the Arc faqs on Gamefaqs but neither discusses the grooves in terms of Kyo.
I’m a 3S player and can parry well in CvS2 but I don’t want to mess up my timing for 3S so I’m avoiding P-Groove. Kinda torn between C and N.
Also should Kyo be first R1 or last R2?
I like him in K, tried in A but I can’t live without run and small jump with him.
I think Kyo is not that good to be a R2, unless you’re using weak characters like Athena and Yuri on your team
Well personally i dont find C Kyo easier to play than N Kyo…N Kyo is mostly K Kyo but with RCs and Counter Roll(which sucks…dunno if it should count even…) and no JD/Parry so its harder to get in.
I personally dont see the point in A or C Kyo compared to P or K…its not that they are bad in those grooves its just…i dont see why some people use them over P or K Kyo. And i agree R2 Kyo is kinda bad, he tends to either OCV or get pwned really bad…
i totally agree, once he plays against some bad matchup ur done for, so definitely R1 for kyo
N for kyo is better than C cuz he has run and low jump, but these grooves don’t bring out his best compare to K and P groove
kyo has something good to offer in every groove

(strong dp)xN, right? i didn’t know it couldn’t be alpha countered out of, i thought that was only iori’s doing jab dp’s, but i guess it makes sense now. if only i could do the strong dp’s that fast without buffering them, because i always mess them up when i buffer for some reason.
N-kyo is fun too.
does this combo work?
cr lk, cr lk, cr mp xx qcf mk, mk, dp mk, lv 3 flame wave, whiffed 3rd rekka
i know cr mp links qcf mk, but not sure if it works too with two cr lks infront
i know this sounds stupid but try looking at your hands while youre buffering it. if youre worried about the meter just keep count of how many you can do with a full meter or whatever
bootleg but it works for me if im nervous
