SRS KYO TYPE ZStory:An accident with his bike put Kyo into a coma. Days later he was found and was hurried to the hospital and treated with heavy medications, which is why The New Face Team became less menacing. The medication took effect and stabilized his coma dreams so that instead of being terrifying, they became idyllic, allowing him to live out his flames master fantasies.After the beginning games, the series is the result of Kyo’s subconscious mind fulfilling his desires, as well as attempting to escape reality. Should Kyo realize he’s in a coma, he would wake up, but suffer brain damage, so he must take down all of his mental barriers one by one until he can come to grips with who he is and escape his coma (since his mind will not allow him to escape until he’s come to terms with himself).Further evidence comes from the realization that even though his journeys take him vast distances, he never travels on a bike due to having developed a phobia.The coma and fantasy explains why he doesn’t change much physically. It also explains the worldwide socialism, as he thought up a safe system of government that would run smoothly and keep the world going, allowing his adventures to work like they do. It also explains how a child can go off on his own into a world full of dangerous and untamed animals, and why town has the same police officer and every flames centre has the exact same nurse. Vice and Mature he knew from his hometown, and they act as a safety net or anchor, allowing him to feel safe no matter where he goes. Vice and Mature represent stability. The professors represent Kyo’s ideals, which is why Iori became a professor. The fantasy also explains why every time he enters a new region, virtually no one has heard of him, despite his conquests. How could Ryo, the rival of the South area, not know of someone who has placed in at least the top 16 of all three leagues and has destroyed the Japan League and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum?Moving on to the characters closer to him, Kyo’s traveling partners are aspects of himself that he can enjoy, but doesn’t like to associate with himself. Shingo is Kyo’s repressed sexuality. Kyo fell into the coma a virgin and needed an outlet for his growing sexual frustrations — since he can never experience sex, Shingo must never succeed. But Shingo isn’t just a projection of Kyo’s sexuality, he is also a projection of Kyo’s fatherly instincts. Shingo leaves his siblings to journey with Kyo because Kyo can’t cope with having that much responsibility at his age. Shingo’s stay with professor Leona was an attempt to outright suppress his sexuality. You may notice that Chris got much more dialogue in this part of the series, as well as getting more touchy-feely with his flames and exposing most of his backstory. Kyo didn’t enjoy this much, which is why Shingo comes back horrified and refuses to speak about it (Kyo’s subconscious was repressing him at the time, so other than a general feeling of dread, he has no idea of what happened). Further evidence of Shingo being Kyo’s sexuality is that he keeps returning to the series after Kyo meets a new girl aspect of himself.Chizuru is the first such aspect we encounter. Because she is the first and because she is merely an aspect of Kyo are explanations for why Chizuru plays so prominently in the games but is ultimately unattainable (because he never really knew her before the coma). Since Chizuru is his initial love interest — if only subconsciously — he needed her to reach a certain level of womanhood. He felt that people could only have relationships after they’ve matured. In practice, though, he finds that he can’t cope with it (lacking the real-world experience) and wants the normal pushy, arrogant Chizuru he knew, thus not letting her keep the sacred mirror. We can see this arc in the constant berating of his sexuality (Shingo), but her eventual mellowing until she had faded into the background. Since Kyo was quite attached to her, this was traumatizing and after this experience, anyone around him “threatening” to mature quickly ends up leaving for another, more naive fill-in.Iori Yagami is what Kyo wants to be. He is wish fulfillment. He succeeded, and then settled down to a normal life. Kyo needs someone to succeed in his world or he won’t be able to validate it and will start questioning why he is where he is. It’s a subconscious trap to keep him from becoming too aware of his situation. His mind must have figured out that awareness of the coma would snap him out of it, but it would cause brain damage, so it took something the boy already loved and built a way out for him with it. However, Kyo is too complacent to make a final stand and fight his way out of it, and so cannot escape. This is why he keeps encountering Legendary flames. They’re his mind’s way of gamesing him he can do great things if he tries, and it’s a way to encourage him to push forwards.The New Face Team are the qualities of himself that Kyo deems “negative” but is coming to terms with. Shermie and Chris want to appease Orochi, Kyo’s father figure, and Shermie will trick the submissive Chris into doing her bidding to achieve this. Yashiro especially wants to appease him because he remembers the good times with Orochi. This places Yashiro in a category known as Kyo’s (corrupted) innocence. This is apparent because Yashiro is able to speak. In fact, the whole reason Yashiro can speak is so that Kyo can eventually accept the aspects of The New Face Team as parts of himself.Kyo has issues with his father, so he put him atop the evil corporation and demonized him. There may be an actual The New Face Team (in the real world) but it’s doubtful that Kyo’s father is their leader. Kyo likely feels that the split between his parents was partly his fault, but also partly blames his father. The split caused his mother to move out of the city, down to South Town and is one reason why Kyo initially embarks upon the journey: to escape the turmoil at home. But the whole organization, including Goenitz and Rugal, is symbolic of his inability to escape his father’s machinations.Chris is implied homosexuality (which does not necessarily make Kyo homosexual) and gullibility, and Shermie is vanity and manipulation. Since Yashiro has the potential for rehabilitation, and doesn’t want to be evil, this once again fits in with the conflicting personalities and demonized-self theory. The New Face Team cross-dresses because Kyo is exploring his sexuality (a different facet than what Shingo represents) and this was a method that allowed his gay/vain side to experiment freely. When he found that it wasn’t something for him, his “free” side stopped playing with it.Max came with Yuki. He played the ego and she played the id with great aspirations in that “session”. They worked for a little while, but with Kyo being a teenager, his sexuality had to come back into play. He kept reinventing himself and eventually wrote new aspects, but his mind slowly brought the old ones back as a crutch to make the transition easier.Yuki is Kyo giving himself a chance to love. Since he already established Chizuru as someone he’s not likely to go anywhere with, he created a new super female, one that was more like him, and less violent. You may note that while both Yuki and Chizuru had no tolerance for Shingo, Yuki seems to try to shrug it off.Terry, the Lone Wolf, was a possible future for Kyo that he discarded. This future was one that he sent off to work with the professor (Kyo’s ultimate ideal of a father figure) when Terry disrupted the dynamic Kyo had with his other possibilities. With Kyo’s mind fighting the coma and Kyo viewing this person as a companion, Terry was quickly replaced with a more threatening rival.K' represents Kyo’s humanity, hence the games where they get separated and Kyo wants desperately to find him, even to the point of working with the New Faces (aspects of himself he would never normally associate with) but for some reason cannot. The New Face Team want to steal K' and hand him over to Orochi. Shermie and Chris will always oppose Kyo because Kyo is terrified of the thought of his humanity lying in the hands of his father. However, this is the same reason that he will work with those aspects of himself in order to save his humanity from just becoming flat out lost. Kyo couldn’t involve K' because that would mean challenging his concept of who he was, which was something he wasn’t comfortable with while still working through his original issues.The narrator is Kyo’s higher mind, recapping and explaining the progress he’s made and the tribulations he will face, allowing itself insight into how best to awaken him.The New Face Team’s methods gradually become more and more ludicrous because Kyo is only a child dreaming these things up. That is why The New Face Team’s disguises are always believed. He knows it’s them (at least on a subconscious level), but chooses to ignore it so that he can better himself. In a sense, the Kyo who wants to escape is sabotaging the Kyo who wants to stay lost in his mind so that there can be more conflict, and hopefully an eventual escape. The escape being a consequence of coming to terms with who he is, as, mentioned previously, The New Face Team are a method for Kyo to deal with grounds he’s uncomfortable with tackling on his own.You may recall that early in the games there were animals and references to animals. For example, the fish in the aquarium of the South Town gym, or that the mirror lists K' as “clone-like”. These animals don’t matter to Kyo’s psyche so they don’t come into play much. If Kyo had loved puppies, everything would be about different breeds of dogs, and a dog fighting circuit, but as the series goes on, you see fewer realistic animals and more flames. This could be a sign of Kyo’s mind deteriorating. As he’s in the coma, he’s losing concepts of some animals and machinery and replacing them with flames. It could explain things like electric flames working as power generators; these are signs that his memory of the old world is slipping more and more as time goes by. The flames realm will be idealized continuously the longer he has no stimulus from the real world. Kyo may or may not be mentally deteriorating, but he is becoming more accustomed to his fake world’s rules. The wild flames are his rationalizations for the functioning of his created fantasy. It’s the “a wizard did it” syndrome. If he doesn’t know how it works, his mind says flames.The flames in Kyo’s team, however, serve the purpose of displaying his issues and aspects of himself. For example, Benimaru represents his sex drive (not his sexuality, like Shingo). At first it’s a cute, easy thing to control, but eventually becomes a raging inferno of disobedience since Kyo has no real understanding of his sexuality and thus has no way to vent or keep it in check. Goro was his unwillingness to change, reflected in when it declines to evolve and almost decided o stay behind unless he battled it. Shingo was his willingness to follow the lead of others, as evidenced by the gang it ran with, even though he ran the gang, they were viewed as one group, and Kyo’s subconscious just gave him the strongest one. Iori was his crushing loneliness, which he dealt with when he released it to join a flock. His bird types are his recklessness, always willing to sacrifice something at a moment’s notice for the win. When Kyo is trading flames, it’s an attempt to push his own problems away on someone else; however, he realizes this and usually trades back fairly quickly.Not only are Kyo’s flames a manifestation of different parts of himself, the flames of other fighters are as well. Yashiro and Chris were symbolic of The New Face Team’s willingness to change, hence their evolutions. Once his mind was able to overcome that roadblock and allow them to change once, it gave him the chance to truly change.An interesting note is that Ash Crimson is a rationalization: a flames that a rival caught before he met him. Even Kyo would become suspicious if everyone he met had no carry-over from previous places he had been to.Other fighters are more direct forms of his issues — ones that he must either come to terms with or outright suppress. Leaders are more primary aspects of his personality, with each flames being stronger than the last, to display a level of skill he could be capable of if only he gave into it. In effect, he is doing battle with a part of him that he would rather not have in control. Originally, Kyo had the battles, which evolved into team battles and contests. The explanation for this is that his issues became more and more complicated, and the means of dealing with them needed to become more complex. The fact that he uses issues that he has already dominated to win these are signs that he’s growing stronger.Kyo releases his flames because his mind is forcing him to let go of them. The second he raises an overpowered team, a tournament comes up, and after fighting his way through it he has to go to a new land for new challenges. But with an overpowered team, there won’t be any challenges, and no way to motivate him further, so the part of Kyo that wants to stay in the coma and keep journeying releases his solved issues so that he can continue and overcome the unresolved ones. This is essentially his mind forcing him to deal with his issues.Kyo’s rivals and the Rival Team are ultimately the strongest part of this cycle. Having flames that are essentially godlike, they represent both what can be attained and what is unattainable. Kyo’s rivals are all possible future he envisions for himself (note that they are all older than him). This originated with Crimso, someone Kyo knew from real life and built up into a sort of god within his mind, but Yagami progressed and changed to suit Kyo’s vision of himself and his ultimate desire, eventually settling down into a professor role after beating the Rival Team. With Iori Yagami in retirement, his mind needed a new rival for him, thus the births of Terry (the good aspect of his rivalry) and Shingo.Shingo is his mind’s last ditch efforts to snap him out of this, to force Kyo to actually come to terms that this perfect world is not the best option or path to waking up. Shingo is Kyo’s shadow, one that wants to push on even harder and harder, and the part of him that will stop at nothing to escape this coma world.K' is a new form of treatment, done with electric impulses and a machine to knock Kyo out of it, taking down every last one of his mental guards (the original flames in the movie). In Kyo’s mind, K' and his clones were (in the real world) the treatment for the mental safeguards that were protecting Kyo and keeping him comatose: the flames of his world. The clones were counters to the issues that Kyo had thought solved, and so each appeared to Kyo as the exact copy of his defense. The clones didn’t play by the rules of Kyo’s world, they didn’t use any special flames attacks or moves — they just beat down their counterpart through brute strength. The treatment was working.There were side effects. The electric jolts were beginning to affect Kyo’s nervous system, and if the treatment continued, he would be paralyzed. His mind manifested this in the dreamworld by petrifying him. Were it not for the end of the treatment by Kyo’s mother (who knew her son wouldn’t want to live in a world he couldn’t explore), Kyo would have remained as stone forever. After this, Kyo needed to recover from the damage caused by the electric therapy. In order to reduce the danger Kyo’s consciousness felt from it, his subconscious began downplaying the effects of electricity in his world, which is why Benimaru’s electric attacks — once noted for their strength by The New Face Team — no longer have any effect on Kyo, other than comic relief.As we can see, Kyo may well have been trapped forever in this world. But like every dream, like everything, there is a beginning and an end. What would happen if Kyo never recovered? In his hospital room, we see Delia, obviously distraught, talking to a doctor with a grim look on his face. He’s saying that their insurance is up, and the boy has had no change in brain activity for seven years. That the shock of taking him off life support has a very small chance of awakening him.She tearfully agrees.Back in Kyo’s world, he has finally defeated the Rival Team, and one by one, the people around him start disappearing. Eventually, everything is black. K' comes dashing towards him, glowing brighter and brighter in the darkness. Eventually he reaches Kyo and the two embrace one last time.Back in the hospital room, his life signs fading, Kyo mutters his final words.He will die, never having known his dream, except as naught but a dream. When he came back to reality, he knew it all for the lie it was, knew it as his imagination. Knowing that his efforts, ambitions and friends were nothing, he will let go.As he utters his final phrase, he barely opens his eyes and sees the silhouette of his mother, her face hidden by her hands wiping away tears. They make eye contact, and one final realization fills him before he loses all strength.He sees that his mother was holding out hope that he’d recover all that time. He sees her and finds that her hope had been broken as she’d come to the realization that she’d outlived her only child. He dies knowing that he is loved, but that it means the one person closest and most real to him is utterly crushed.Description:SRS KYO TYPE Z is essentially a KOF 2002 Kyo with a greatly enlarged movelist and a lot of extra stuff. The gameplay is made as close to KOF 2002 as possible. Hit boxes, pause/hittimes, velocities are taken from the origin. At the same time I always used the best KOF game possible for the moves (1997/1998/2002). In the matter of game balance, he is surely as powerful than Kyo from any year. The final release version of SRS KYO TYPE Z will have such things as:- TV blur.- Air-blocking.- Peptic salve and adrenaline.- 99% accuracy. (THANK YOU RULER!)- custom palettes. Example:...;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Promo screens (~100-(pi*10)%):
