Introduction

The famous electric seducer and Kyo's Friend in KOF. Top-tier character (best character of game among no-banned characters). Existing in all the teams or almost.

Gameplay Overview

Benimaru builds meter fastly with his meterless combos and Dizzy fastly also.

Gets a very good mixups with his crossup j+D, his long range move (cr+C) where you can option select with (at 2:33 of this video), his cr+B to pressure, his instant overhead (j+B) who can be useful after cr+B, his st+B to poke (invincible move), his j+qcf+P to chip damage opponent, his air throw etc

High priority normal attacks with st.B, j+CD, cl.D, st.D , neutral j+D , j+D and his cr+D

His cr+C permits to pass opponent's jump attacks.

His main combo : cr.B, cr.B xx qcf,qcf.A must be mastered.

His problem in this kof is that except his Raijin Ken (qcf+C), he doesn't really get anti-air moves, what can be a problem versus Choi.

Mid-Tier as Striker.
