Capcom vs SNK 2/Yamazaki

Introduction

Ryuji Yamazaki is a character that debuted in the Fatal Fury series,Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory. When we see Yamazaki he's a crazy psychopath who likes to bash, smash, cut, and kill everyone and who wants to confront him but most of the time he is just chilling on his own when he´s a gangster. And when he was introduced to KOF series in KOF97 he wants nothing to be involved with those who have the blood of Orochi and the Hakkesshu,he's, who was sent by Goentiz to revive Orochi and awake those who have the Riot of the Blood´s influence,Iori and Leona.

Gameplay

Basically Yamazaki is a character that wants to you play lame, controll space and annoying your opponent. For Begginners,like me, i think he´s good choice for your team.

The Basics

In general, Yamazaki wants to position himself at about st.hk distance to the opponent. This will allow him to control the space with snake arms (mp and hp version) as well as standing and crouching hk. If they jump towards you, both standing mp and crouching hp works as excellent anti airs, effectively putting the opponent back at your preferred distance.
