Ky has considerable frame advantage when TK'd, typically +5 or +7. This a great tool for corner lockdown. Stuns the opponent for a long time on counter hit, giving you lots of time confirm, run in, and perform a quick combo on the opponent for knock down. Observant players can even confirm Counter Hits into 3H! | |||

Overview
Ky is one of the poster boys for the Guilty Gear series and fulfills the role of a simple, well rounded character. Both Charismatic and possessing a strong sense of justice, Ky now assumes his position as king, reigning over the land of Illyria. However, when he hears of the uprising of a new threat, Ramlethal Valentine, this makes things tough for him as his hands are full from being the king. Planning to remove this obstacle in the way of his people's peace, Ky plans his assault!
Ky does well at midrange with some useful pokes and a variety of projectiles at his disposal. He is a character that can rapidly switch between keeping the opponent away and turning on the offensive. Some would be quick to assume that Ky is just your average "Shoto." However, there are certain things in his arsenal that can prove this wrong. In GGXRD, Ky was given the addition of "Grinders" (see Durandal Call below) which further augments his already proficient versatility. With this, Ky now has better options for spacing, setups, and okizeme, which proves easy seeing as he is good at confirming knockdown from ground gatlings. He also greatly benefits from the reworked meter system, giving him useful options with enough meter, effectively making some aspects easier and deadlier!
- Strengths
- Good neutral game with good normals and projectiles
- Has a tool for every situation, including two of the best anti-airs in the game
- Grinders make his projectiles even stronger and give him great oki
- Good character for beginners due to being easy to learn and use.
- Weaknesses
- Low average damage, Ky players have to be creative to get big damage combos
- Standard Jack of All Trades, while he has a tool for every situation, he doesn't excel at any area
Durandal Call
Ky can use specific attacks (5D, j.D, 236D) to summon small floating portals called Grinders that last for 2-3 seconds. Shoot a projectile through a Grinder and it will become stronger, giving Ky more versatility in his gameplay. Stun Edges become full screen beams for zoning, Charged Stun Edges become long lasting projectiles for okizeme, and Sacred Edge sticks the opponent to the wall for combos.
