What's so good about Kevin Rian (Spin, I'm calling you)

I'm trying to play as Kevin Rian in MOTW, but right now, I can't help but think he's not so great. Got any tips, Spinmaster?

and whilst doing so you can leg trip or spin kick, both highly effective.

You can also break his double knee attack (f,d,fd + k) and link it straight into either of his Supers.

Another good kevin Tactic is to do his super punch special. The last hit leaves the opponent defenceless in the air. Then do Shoryken motion + Heavy P. You will jump into the air and knock them down as they can;t block. You can also do the Lower version do end most of his combos. Try doing Crawl > Spin Kick > Double Knee > Break > Low Air Punch.

I know he's got some good comboes ( as far as I remember )...
I couldn't play it at home yet...

Really? He is one of my best characters, I don't know I just seem to do some heavy devistation with him... Then again, the big downfall of Garou is everyone kind of plays the same (not that I don't love the game, to date it is still my most played Neo cart ever).

Kevin has his own style but it can be very powerful if you use him wisely. For example, when he crawls, you can hit your opponent both if he's standing or crouching guard. I have taken many friends by surprise with that. His s-power can be easily connected as the opponet is dizzy during two second. he's good when it comes to be close and his chargind special hit can be devastating. The main bad point that I see the with him is his anti air moves.

Kevin Rian? The ground stuff is gimmicky, and it's hard to start liking him before you start abusing his supers and qcf+K move. Try this corner combo to get you in the spirit (2 super levels):

j.D,C,qcf+D,AB break,qcfx2+B,qcf+D,AB break,qcfx2+B,qcf+D,AB break,dp+A

As nasty as that looks you only need to know 2 things to pull this:
1. Find exactly where to AB break the qcf+K move (easy)
2. Find the timing for qcf+K to grab someone out of the air

great combo! and I thought that I had a good one but here goes any ways

this works anywhere on the screen*

jump+D,C,qcf+D,AB break,qcfx2+D,qcb+A(let it charge*has to be timed just right*)

The last move can be substituted with a dp+A or C(i think) but the one I listed will do more damage.

You'll look stylish when you pull it off too.

Spike I hate to tell you this but i'm the worst Kevin player on the planet. Despite him being my favorite MOTW character I could never learn him properly. I haven't touched MOTW in like 6-7 months. I just kinda gave up on him. I'm ashamed of myself.....

I did however used to have some pretty nasty combos with him(which I could hardly get on people in a real match). I'll see if I remember them which I probably won't.
