Kyo Kusanagi vs Paul Phoenix

Paul, has given his longtime friend and rival Marshall Law the cash needed to rebuild Marshall China and his dojo. Within several months, the restaurant is thiriving, and the dojo is one of the best in San Francisco.

Kyo Kusanagi is on vacation with Yuki (who threatened to castrate him if he didn't stop chasing after a certain Japanese Ansatsuken master while on vacation). Tagging along are his buddies Benimaru Nikaido and Goro Daimon, the latter competing at a Judo Tournament.

Tam Japan is at Marshall China, celebrating Daimon's victory when the roar of a motorcycle heralds Paul's arrival for his monthly sparring session with the Law family head.

Regretably, while training with Forest, Marshall had sprained his wrist, and is out of action. Kyo, in the meantime, has heard of Paul ever since he was a kid. After all, it's not everyday you are in the same room with a guy who KO'ed a bear.

Since Kyo is banned from trying to find Ryu, Yuki didn't say anything about fighting a living legend like Paul. The battle takes place inside Law's dojo.

Kyo shows off his Magatama flames. Paul just scoffs. "I've seen that little trick before," he says, "only it was lightning."

"Better watch youself, old man," Kyo retorts. "You may just get burned."

Paul cracks his knuckles and pop his neck. "Just wait, kid. Today's game day, and you're about to take one for the team."

...On a game they would probably draw, given Paul's track record against both Kazuya & Jin.

On KMC Kyo will wtf own curbstomp destroy blast Paul into smithereens by yawning.

Kyo will keep on thinking he's fighting benimaru. 🙂

Paul has good power, good reversals, good throws, more experience, a hellova chin and good speed. if he could pwn Ogre Kyo won't be too impossible.
Kyo only has good power, good chin and better speed.

i'll say 50-50 each. but i'm leaning towards Paul.

~Sado

Paul wins.

I think Kyo takes this one. Paul may actually be cooler though.

Paul wins, **** kyo.

😆 Wasn't expecting that. Kyo's been involved in some bad writing, but he's still cool. Kyo rules & we all know it mane!!!!

Man, Kyo sucks as far as I'm concerned. That "High School Kid saving the World" routine is old as hell.

NO IT'S NOT!!!!! Yeah it is🙁 He still didn't graduate yet?

No, Kyo's a "Super Senior" since 94,God I hate Kof. 🙁

kyo goes back to his girlfriend in a full body cast

LoL.

By the way I said on KMC Kyo wins because of the stupid fanboyish belief that 3d fighters can't hang with 2d fighters.

Kyo was 3D in KOF Maximum Impact and KOF 2006. They tend to forget about that.

Kyo wins

And he wins because...?

i don't see anything that makes Paul better then Kyo

I don't see anything that makes Kyo better than Paul other than his fancy Plot Device.

So please elaborate on why a teenager with flames is going to beat a 40 year old experienced fighter like Paul.

Forty-eight. Paul is 48 years old, as of Tekken 5.

Oh. Didn't play Tekken 5 much...I just borrowed a friend's PS2 & rented the game for ole times sake. Thanks for clearing that for me.
