Ky Kiske is a balanced, straightforward character with a tool for every range and situation.
He performs best at midrange with a variety of useful pokes, but Ky has tools at every range thanks to his Stun Edge projectiles. He uses his fast and long reaching f.S to harass his foes, and rounds out his spacing game with 2S, 5HS, 2K, and 2D. From well spaced pokes, experienced Ky players can cancel into Stun Dipper to secure knockdowns from afar. Frustrated opponents that jump at him will find themselves dealing with his above-the-knees invulnerable 6P and extremely long reaching 2H. When Ky is further away from the opponent he can use Stun Edges to harass them, either covering his approach or playing keep away. After getting a knockdown, Ky can safely set up okizeme using Charged Stun Edge or j.D, then apply strong blockstring pressure game by lacing together low attacks, frame traps, throws, and pressure resets with 3H, 6K, and strong Force Break attacks to wear the enemy down.
To turn the tide, Ky can use Stun Dipper to slide under attacks and score knockdowns, utilize his overhead Greed Sever to catch the opponent slacking on defense, or spend Tension to Roman Cancel a reversal. He is a character that can rapidly switch between keeping the opponent away and turning on the offensive. His balanced movepool has a tool for every situation, though he lacks specialization in any one role and can be heavily locked out by specialist characters. While some are quick to assume Ky is a painfully basic character, he has many tricks and tools in his arsenal that round out his game plan.

Ky Kiske Ky Kiske is a balanced, straightforward character with a tool for every range and situation.
- All Range: Plenty of normals with range, speed, and good frame data + versatile projectiles and traps make Ky effective up close, far away, and everywhere in-between.
- High Mix Pressure: Open gatling table and a suite of versatile normals allows for variable pressure structure to keep opponents guessing.
- Tricky With Meter: Ky's FRCs and FBs are versatile, with them he can establish pressure, create combos, enhance mix ups, make himself safe, and more.
- All Rounder: Tools for every situation, including two strong anti-airs, a fast jab in 2P, and two reversals.
- Knockdown From Anything: Lightning Javelin secures a knockdown from nearly anywhere, and 6H > 6K works for low corner combos.
- Strong Okizeme: 3H, 236D, j.236D, j.D, j.214D, 5K and j.S all combine to give Ky superb options for setting up over the opponent.
- Linear At Range: Ky's versatility is outclassed by most other projectile characters and characters with long range pokes.
- Limited Second Chance Pressure: Pressure extensions are limited and either require meter or end your turn and put you on the defensive.
- Low Damage: Ky's typical combo starters prorate heavily, couple this with an already low overall output and you have a less explosive character than most others.
- Straightforward To A Fault: Ky's approach is somewhat telegraphed, and easy for more defensive characters to stop; requires acting outside the box.
- Poor Matchups Against Top Tier: Despite being strong in his own right, Ky is shut out by the stronger characters in +R.
