Your first opponents will typically be the Kyo Kusanagi Team (Kyo, Benimaru, Goro). Kyo is a balanced fighter with strong normals and fire-based special moves. Benimaru is a fast, agile character with electric attacks, while Goro is a grappler with powerful throws. Focus on understanding their basic attack patterns. Kyo's 236A/C (100 Shiki Oniyaki) is a good anti-air, and Benimaru's 214A/C (Raijinken) is a fast projectile. Goro's 632146P (Jigoku Guruma) is a command grab to watch out for. Maintain a safe distance against Goro and punish his whiffed grabs. For Kyo and Benimaru, block their strings and look for openings after their special moves. Don't be afraid to use your own special moves and Super Special Moves to gain an advantage.
