Kiyo Kamiya[]
Kiyo's style can be described as a shotoclone rushdown style, with his reliance on attacks such as projectiles, upppercuts and other attacks. His Burst Ability is "Death Sentence", a move where he stabs the opponet whilst his Eyes of Future Death are activated. Kiyo's B attacks come in two hits and have priority over all of his other normal attacks, meaning he can link his B attacks into any other of his normal attacks. His Unique Ability is his Enhanced Specials: powered-up versions of his specials which consume quarters of Luna. These specials can be performed by inputting the command of the special and pressing B instead of L, M or H. Like his B normals, his Enhanced B Specials have priority over most of his specials. However, if Kiyo attempts an Enhaced Special without enough Luna, the H version of the attack will occur instead.
