• Close LP (Backhand): Primarily for visual effect, not competitively useful.
• MP (Serpent Strike): Slow startup, not comboable.
• Close MP (Snake Strike): Limited use due to Kyosuke's typical engagement range.

• Close SP (Fierce Backhand): More useful than Close LP, comboable into Super Shadow Out Kick or Super Lightning Upper.

• Close LK (Foot Kick): Fast, low damage, usable up close. Good to chain into Lightning Upper, Cross Cutter, Shadow Out Kick, or Final Grade Remix.
• MK (Flip Kick): Decent range and damage, comboable into Cross Cutter or Super Cross Cutter, but has slow recovery.
• Close MK (Knee): Decent speed, very short range. Comboable into Lightning Upper, Super Lightning Upper, Final Grade Remix, Shadow Out Kick, and Super Shadow Out Kick.
• SK (Heel Kick): Good range and damage, but slow recovery. Can function as a poke or anti-air.

Crouching:

• LP (Quick Jab): Fast, good for combo starters, but lacks reach and damage.
• MP (Chop Sweep): Poor range, slow, low damage, not easily comboable.
• SP (Fierce Slap): Decent range and damage, but difficult to combo from.
• LK (Foot Kick): Fast and comboable, but deals minimal damage.
• MK (Extended Kick): Better range than Crouching LK, but slow startup and recovery. Comboable into Cross Cutter and Shadow Out Kick.
• SK (Spin Sweep): Kyosuke's primary knock-down move. Good range and damage, but risky if blocked due to slow recovery. Not comboable.
• DF + SK: Launches the opponent for mid-air combos. Fast launch but slow recovery and limited horizontal range. Cannot be comboed from normal attacks except jump-ins. Recommended for open opponents or as an anti-air.

Jumping:

• LP (Falling Elbow): Long active frames, low damage and range. Good for initiating combos into Standing SP/MP into Final Grade Remix or Super Shadow Out Kick.
• MP (Backhand Chop): More range than Jumping LP, but misses grounded opponents. Best for air-to-air combat.
• SP (Head Smack): Good range, hits grounded opponents. Can combo into specials or super specials.
• LK (Aerial Knee): Similar properties to Jumping LP.
• MK (Head Kick): Good range and damage. Comboable into Cross Cutter, Shadow Out Kick, Lightning Upper, or Shadow Breaker.
• SK (Aerial Heel): A strong move for combos or interrupting attacks. Decent range and good damage.

Special Moves:

• Cross Cutter: Launches two small projectiles that arc upwards and downwards, converging at a distance. Button strength affects height and distance (LP is highest/closest, HP is shortest/furthest). Can negate non-super projectiles individually before convergence. Weak against air attacks, strong against rush, anti-air, and some air attacks. No effect against teleportation moves. Not recommended for projectile battles due to startup and recovery delays. Useful for zoning and pressure.
• Lightning Upper: A strong anti-air and rushdown move. Weak against projectile attacks. No effect against teleportation moves. Strong against air attacks, rush attacks, anti-air, and other attacks.
• Shadow Wave (AIR): Performed in the air.
• Shadow Breaker: A special move.
• Shadow Out Kick (air): Performed in the air.

Super Specials:

• Super Cross Cutter: A powered-up version of Cross Cutter.
• Super Lightning Upper: A powered-up version of Lightning Upper.
• Super Shadow Out Kick (air): An aerial super special move.
