Kyo Kusanagi (Street Fighter V DLC Character)

Kyo Kusanagi (草薙 京) is the titular protagonist in SNK's The King of Fighters video game series. His official nickname is "Scion of the Flame" (貴公子|きこうし). He would be making his playable debut in Capcom's Street Fighter franchise as part of a SNK DLC fighter pack in Ultra Street Fighter V, alongside Terry Bogard, Rock Howard, and Ryo Sakazaki from Art of Fighting.

In Ultra Street Fighter V, Kyo is primarily based on his appearance in the Orochi Saga of The King of Fighters even if his appearence comes from The King of Fighters XV, thought in his V-System moves it can be noted inspiration from more recent versions of his moveset, he is confused to see Terry, Rock and Ryo don't recognizing him.

Movelist
Has established before Kyo's movelist is mostly taked from his appearence in the Orochi Saga of The King of Fighters having access to other moves with the V-System. The combination of the shoto style with the rekka style makes him similar to his appearence in The King of Fighter XI.

V-Trigger I (MAX Mode)
Kyo strikes a pose and alongside a flash effect he would have a yellow-ish aura around him entering into the MAX Mode, in MAX Mode Kyo can cancel most of his normal attacks into specials and cancel specials into other special moves (those cancels burning a little of the V-Trigger), the EX moves have a lower cost and two of those moves (Yami Barai and Dokugami) would be transformed into the Desesperation Moves Orochinagi and Mu-Shiki, thought like in the old KOF titles once you use a super the MAX Mode would end.

V-Trigger II (182 Shiki)
Kyo charges back meanwhile a ring of fire appears around him in the floor, when releasing the button Kyo does a powerful explosive punch.
