Is she as agile as Benimaru? is she capable of such speed and ferocity as Terry Bogard? No. Lin is a lot faster. so is Benimaru. so is Terry Bogard. And Kyo beat/tied with them all.
Teleportation aint nothing new. Geonitz and Orochi were all teleporters and yet Kyo laid them out. Omega from DoA can creat a lot of a mess by powering up but can he destroy the world? no. Orochi can. and Kyo laid the f--k out of Orochi with a punch. he also wrecked Geonitz up. not to mention Ignitz.
Nimpo.......well, i admit my ignorance regarding this. But Kyo has fought and beaten Kagura who is capable of fighting with illusions.
seriously though, speed, teleportation and magic aint nothing new to Kyo. The day Kasumi and her lipstick lesbain rival can defeat a GOD i'll give them props. but they can't. Kyo and Iori can.also Orochi Iori is powerful as hell. it took the entire KoF97 cast to subdue him. now don't tell me Kasumi and Ayane>>KoF97 cast.

As for Goenitz and Orochi, Kyo had assistance in his fight with them. Hell, if I had Blood Riot Iori holding Orochi in place, I could beat Orochi too. I'd like to see how he fares fighting by himself. Also, how do we know Orochi can destroy the world? Has he ever actually blown up a planet? I'm not saying you're wrong, I just honestly don't remember him blowing up a planet.
Like I said, Iori is the problem here. He's mainly why I am still undecided.
ayane/kasumi never beat tengu. ryu did.
orochi seems a lot worst than 100 tengus. he just can't die unless weakened by twin crimson flames and sealed by kagura.
on a side note, kasumi/kyo would probably be really good friends. seeing how kyo is with most girls. ayane can probably become friends with him too, if she gets along with kasumi(seeing her personality would get along with most normal people better).

Tengu (Ìì¹·, Tengu? "heavenly dogs"😉 are a class of supernatural creatures found in Japanese folklore, art, theater, and literature. They are one of the best known y¨_kai (monster-spirits) and are sometimes worshipped as Shinto kami (revered spirits or gods). Although they take their name from a dog-like Chinese demon, the tengu were originally thought to take the forms of birds of prey, and they are traditionally depicted with both human and avian characteristics. The earliest tengu were pictured with beaks, but this feature has often been humanized as an unnaturally long nose, which today is practically the tengu's defining characteristic in the popular imagination.Bankotsu (or Gohyakumine Bankotsu-bo) is a tengu who is a criminal in his own dimension, as he murdered Kuramasan Maouson - the leader of their race. Fearing punishment for his crimes and breaking Tengu rules, he escaped into the human world. Considering the hopes and struggles of humanity to be insignificant, he decided to bring about ultimate disaster and calamity, covering the world in chaos.
That sounds childish Cloud...
Anyways, Orochi has had a huge, massive impact on the KOF Scene, Orochi simply hapens to be near omnipotent and fuklly immortal, now, since it was said even in the canon endings of 97 that Orochi can end all life on the planet, why are we arguing this?
And even so, what does this seriously have to do with the thread at hand?

neither kyo or iori were really capable of destroying the orochi. they were just enough to weaken him so chizaru can finish him off.the fact that tengu can be killed by only physical means put him way below orochi.
kyo=iori, unless he goes riot of blood.
i'm sure it's official that ryu killed tengu in the doa competition which was hand to hand. unless tecmo makes it official that he uses the dragon sword.
