Parry- medium punch into whatever. That’s about it. :lol: Actually P-Kyo is real good but I don’t use him in P, only N and K. I NEED A RUN!!!
:wtf:kara-cancel-cross-setup-combo-chains:wtf:
thanks geekboy!! That was some great advice…It’s been a long time since I have heard some really good advice 
Woah this thread would have been good but no one ever posted! Kyo is a friggin BEAST! This post will be revised almost daily so I’ll keep updating.
First of all Kyo’s HK throw is probably the best in the game. Kyo’s got too many mixups that can be followed up. Kyo must train/force the opponent to block on wake up. Once you got your opponent blocking on wake up, tempo/momentum is being controlled by Kyo and only Kyo. Thats when tick throws come into place and what not. However after the opponent begins to see the throws, he’s going to want to tech/hit you out of the throw, this is where counter hits and parry setups come into play.
After the Hk throw, Kyo can do just about 15 different usefull things to mix up your opopnents mentallity. So with that said…here it goes
Follow ups after Hk throw:
Some quick notes about these things…
-Mixup 1, and 2 are pretty self explanitory. Do the actual cross over once or twice and the opponent will start thinking your always gonna do the cross up. After this starts happening instead just go for mixup 2.
-Mixup 4 one of the more tricky throw set ups. This is a great way for your Kyo to show that YOU control the pace of the match.
-Mixup 6 can be pretty tricky. When done immediately after the throw, it will crossup and not hit. If delayed, it will not crossover, instead it will hit. This goes for a nice illusion. I think that against E. Honda if you stand right next to E. honda and do Rdp hk after any knock down it will cross over perfectly.
Theres so much one can do after the HK throws…note that I’m no where near being even a mid tier player yet…so I’ll always be playing around and experimenting to see what I can add.
Parry setups:
-c.lk, c.mp, qcf lp…
Lots of people don’t know that this is a completely safe move on block…not only does it push you away far enough from the opponent to be safe, however it’s also -5 on block…where as mp rekka’s put Kyo at -10 on block.
If this parry setup works for you at all, you should mainly punish with: c.mp, qcf lpx2, k chain
-After a knock down, small hop over, c.lk…
From here a Kyo can go into many various things. If you have just scared your opponent by tick throws, they’re most likely gonna get “smart” and try and either hit you out of it with c.lk/c.lp, or tech throw it, I’ll go over that in my next post.
However if your doing the c.lk for the first time, what will most likely happen is a hesitation of the opponent…then a c.lk. At least from my experiences. If the parry set up works according to plan then you can punish with: c.mp, qcf k, k, dp+hk.
This move gives +/-0…it’s completely safe. After this move, a lot of people will try and counter with their furthest hitting crouching attack, mainly down hk from my experiences. The beginning frames of their attack allow you to aim for a down parry. This is a pretty good setup, people don’t really know that d+f hk is safe.
This move puts you at an astounding -2. It’s obvious that the sweep is really unpunishable however it is also common knowledge that most other sweeps put you at like -12 or more. With that in mind, since opponents will try and hit you with something low. It’s pretty effective in my eyes really.
These rekkas are deadly. The qcf hp has 4 frames of auto guard. If no delay is input your still put at +1 yet extremely close to your opponent. Their first insentive will be to throw you. Keep this in mind and tech their throw. Through my experiences almost 90% of the people I tech hit low with a d.hk. Parry into a combo
However, if you DID put that delay in the rekka chain, you can do one of a few options. You could have hit your opponent with a counter hit allowing you to continue with your rekka or possibly reset into a throw or another combo. Or they could have blocked both chains (the most obvious). However if they did block both chains, it’s possible for you to be at +4. Most people don’t know that Kyo has a frame advantage after this. So keep this in mind. Most people throw out a d.hk.
MORE TO COME
make it a point to not fall into patterns, mixup characters die when they can’t get the random going. whenever i use kyo i find the best tool i have is whiffing shit over someone’s body (after RH throw), followed closely by dash, block, and low jump d+HP
Nice one ragnafrak…thats a solid way to keep your opponent from guessing what your gonna do. In my opinion P kyo’s main game plan:
Have your opponent keep guessing what your going to do. Start a pattern that the opponent can clearly see, then throw in a position where the enemy thinks it is safe to attack…thus a parry can be put in place, leading into huge amounts of damage.
I posted a few more parry setups so check em out and tell me what you think.
I know P-Kyo mixup destroys me, but I don’t play P, or Kyo.
knockdown…GRIN…parry/c.lk/far sweep/f+hp xx damage.
I got this by accident the other day. Worked pretty well when I thought about it.
cr short (blocked) st jab (whiff usually unless large character) option select cr mp. Beats mashers pretty well, and easy to set up a throw after you’ve conditioned them to block.
That is some good stuff LG thanks. Like you said, if the option select works out, it conditions them for a tick throw, which leads up into more different mixxy setups. Thanks I’m gonna have to try that out!
Gosh…now that I look back at this stuff I see how much I’ve grown as a player. Ignore like half of my stuff. There are way to many errors to even reconsider to take care of. After rh throws we only know that Kyo can just do way to much. The parry setups that I listed are indeed setups however they don’t benefit from the parry to well. All I can see is that you can get another knockdown with Kyo. Which is still good, however nothing compared to his massive combos.
IMPORTANT
A thing that I never realized with Kyo is his nasty meaty s.mp. After knockdowns use this meaty. It gives hella block stun allowing Kyo to walk up a step or two. After that you can throw or counter hit c.lk. If your opponent tried to dp, the meaty will beat it and you can link c.mp into combo. Good stuff
reversal dp has invincibility from the time you’re waking up until the it goes away from the DP, so there won’t ever be a non-invincible frame
summary: reversal dp > meaty
no one gets reversal DPs out 100% of the time, when you do a meaty attack and they attempt a DP (and fail), you get a free combo. obviously you can’t always DP on wakeup, and kyo can’t always meaty you on your wakeup.
PS: i like meaty c.LKs more and more lately, they give your enemy less time to react to your wakeup shit. less options = more frustration = more wakeup DPs = more death combos for kyo 
s.mp meaty on wakeup,done on a shoto for example is a bad idea. Even if both players time it right dp will win or trade, not favorable for kyo.
I use f+hp from a relative far distance is more meaty and less risky to my believe. qcf+hp on wake up when time perfectly, I been told it can beat dp. As far as you time the 4 frames of AG right on his wake up.
The Shoto isn’t going to wake up with a reversal DP every single time. A good Kyo trains him to be hesistant with wake-up DP by option select blocking over his body and punishing every single wake-up DP attempt with either far s.MP xx combo if it was a jab DP, or close s.HK xx launching kicks juggle if it was a fierce DP. Meaty close s.MP/d.MP then becomes a very useful tool for Kyo as he can both easily tick throw off it or work the counter hits if he so desires.
I think using either f+HP or the qcf+HP moves are weak and just as risky and you get less reward (in qcf+HP’s case, even more risky because you have way less control over it and will lose to wake-up low shorts for free). Might at well use d.MK or far s.HK from max range as a meaty attack in those cases. The tips of d.MK and far s.HK are invincible and immune to wake-ups for sure at least. I have no clue what the hitboxes for f+HP and the qcf+HP move look like.
Be aggressive and use close s.MP and d.LK as your meaty attacks. Kick throw the opponent all day once he gets scared and starts to block as he gets up. To counter the throws and meaties, he’ll resort to wake-up DP which you read, block, and punish him harder for if he had just sat there and taken the throw. I think Kyo is at his strongest when he’s on the offensive and aggressive, and to be offensive and aggressive, you can’t be scared of a silly little DP.
Good tips kang
i’m scared of ken’s DP ;[
Not necessarily low shorts dont have enough range to stop the hook style punch. Plus you can always do hcb+p afters it, which leaves you at +1 on the block i believe. Plus you are at throw range afterwards.
I dont see how you going to throw somebody after a block s.mp or c.mp they both push you out throw range. You will have to walk slightly forward and go for the grab which wont work on good players.
hcb+HP is -8 on block, +1 on hit, the starting qcf+HP leaves you at -11, too gimmicky man
either of them meaty can leave you with up to around +11, you can definitely tick throw with it
kang’s ken ;[ See you at NEC BITCH heh
