The only true example of inhereted chi powers from what you gave is Howard's bloodline. Kaphwan's sons trained with their father, and Adelheid is tricky. The only thing I know for sure is that he received training in the same MA style as his great father...maybe just by studying his fighting data. Howard's powers are inherited, that's true.
But anyways...even though you missed with Kaphwan example...you're good.
And as for Riot of Blood state...there's a theory that Orochi spirit posesses the blood in said moments, making it sentient. In non-riot state the blood still present, of course, but it's not sentient. When person is made a temporary avatar of Orochi via Riot of Blood, his or her own mind is no longer responsible of controlling the body, he or she is driven by "Orochi presence" in the blood. That also explains an extra boost in strength person receives in that state- the blood works at its fullest extent (that's why 6years old Leona in RoB state managed to kill everyone in her village, despite they all had Orochi blood in their veins). The reverse is that person temporary turned into mindless beast, driven by single wish to kill everyone in his or hers path.
Orochi spirit can be summoned into normal human body- but that should be done by legitimate Orochi avatar. And I strongly doubt that Kyo in KOF 2001 really shown in RoB state- more like a representation of his great anger towards NESTS.
And finally- "Kusanagi flame gene" and Kusanagi battle data are different stuff. If it really was tampering preventing K' from performing Kusanagi-ryu, he should have started performing that when he finally was able to control the flames.
What I've trying to say is that pyrokinetic abilities and martial arts aspects in Kusanagi-ryu aren't the same. The first one passes with genes (just like Howard's chi powers), the second one can be learned, that's so-called "battle data". Kyo's complete clones got everything from Kyo including giving them his battle data. If it were just regular chi flames, K' won't be facing such a trouble in controlling them- he's not THAT weak, I think. He has to struggle to learn how to control them.
And if those two aspects were just the same, there would be collecting Kyo's battle data instead of trying to infuse people with his flame gene etc. The whole point of the thing that pyrokinesis powers are genetically inherited is supported by possibility to create reversed version of flame gene which was infused into Kula.
Shingo has learned MA aspect of Kusanagi-ryu but was never able to summon true flames- just imitate them with his chi.
But apart from inherited flame powers, there's nothing special in Kusanagi bloodline, unlike Yagami bloodline.

Rock & Iori are awesome

Saisui trained him in MA aspect of Kusanagi-ryu...and Shingo never wielded "true" flames, but was able to imitate them with his own chi. And even to be able to do that...he had to train hard.
And the "Orochi poisoning" theory was almost the only logical way to explain some stuff that happened in KOF;Kyo, taking into account that it was orchestrated by one of known Orochi avatars (Shermie).

But in the KoF Kyo game, it's stated that the Kusanagis are also cursed. And that Kyo's cousin and dad did once go through Riot. And check Kyo's facial expression, I sure think he's Rioting.

That supports theory about Orochi poisoning since there is no Orochi blood in Kusanagi. The thing about curse explains the easiness of that "poisoning", though...
