Some extra tips that i learned through extensive playing of kyoshin: after your forward dodge bash, you can zone instead of light, this zone is confirmed and there are other characters that can do this trick too. (zhanhu, warden, jorm, maybe some others i cant quite remember) if you have enough stamina to afford it, always go for the zone instead of a light (WARNING: THE ZONE COULD BOUNCE OFF A WALL IF YOU ARE TOO CLOSE TO ONE, BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS!) secondly, after a heavy parry, you can follow up with a kick, this kick drains stamina pretty decently, so if uour enemy is low on stam, do your kick. In kaze stance, when you throw any of the kaze attacks, be it a zone, light, or heavy, you can follow up with a second heavy known as kaze force. the attack is unfeintable, and does 12 damage. This heavy has crush counter properties, so if an enemy attacks you when you use this move, you'll crushing counter them and deal extra damage. Use this if your enemy dodge attacks your kaze attack, or if another enemy tries to interupt your kaze cuts (the 3 light attacks that follow up any kaze attack) When you block an attack with kaze stance, there are 3 options you can make: a heavy attack, its a downward swing which does 10 damage, is confirmed, and can be followed up with kaze cuts. Use this move if you are fighting one person and want maximum damage. Alternatively, you can light/zone, which does 8 damage but can externally hit enemies. (Did i mention they are unblockable?) Combine this with kaze force, and you can hypothetically become untouchable. I hope this helps you play kyoshin more effectively!
Hey raptor! Its Venom. From what I can tell you got Kyoshin basically down to the teeth. There is just two things I noticed you didnt mention. 1. At 4:12 you were talking about how Kyoshins Kaze stance has a heavy follow up attack, however you did not mention how that can be used in any type of Kaze Stance attack. You also didnt mention how you can interupt the Kaze light follow ups with the heavy follow up. 2. At 5:54 you were talking about the Superior Blocking on feats. However, you only mentioned that superior blocking only means the Kaze Stance, but Superior Blocking can also be Crushing Counters. So with those feats if you crushing counter it also gives health/adds bleed. But besides those two things everything seemed good. Great work Raptor!! If you need me to explain it better in the discord I'd be more than willing to.
Kyoshins moveset promotes turtling/EXTREMELY defensive playstyles, I main kyoshin myself and he is 100% capable of aggressive playstyles, but if my enemy is reading my moves well and I can't break through their defense, I find myself falling behind his kaze alot more than is considered healthy.
Kyoshin is super matchup dependent though. Against character who are bash oriented or have a lot of unblockables he can’t use his kaze stance very effectively. His best matchups are against Highlander, nobu, aramusha, shaman, ocelot, peacekeeper, raider and kensei. His worst matchups are against afeera, warden, warlord, pirate, black prior, conq and shinobi. Every other character I’d say it’s pretty much even matchup wise. This is coming from a dude who has mained him for almost a year now.

It’s the same thing as a counter but instead of pressing heavy to counter you press light attack.
Don't
Not that I don't appreciate YOU. I just hate this fella

Kyoshin is a bigger rat than Orochi
