I might end up replacing Shen if this is the case, I was kinda worried about this since Shen is currently my anchor. I am more comfortable with EX Kyo's combos in general though, I played him in 98 and I've recently gone back to it and practiced his stuff from there while I wait for him to be released on PSN, and he does FAT damage with his drive cancels and HD combos. I'm going to go ahead and play with the order you suggested and see how that works, if I have to too though, I might replace Shen for another character.
