Command Move
Eviscerator - (f + A)
Yamazaki punches in a downward diagonal angle toward the opponent
can be comboed into and if comboed into can cancel into a special move (ex: s.C, f+A, qcb+c)
from close range the move has two hits, from further than about two character distances away it will only hit once
both hits count as overheads if done raw, it loses that property if comboed into
on hit or guard the move pushes the opponent back a considerable amount
the move is negative on block slightly, but the pushback makes it hard for opponents to punish it well
Can be cancelled in Max Mode
Special Moves
Sadomaso - (hcf + K)
Yamazaki leans forward with his tongue out, daring the opponent to strike
counters mids and highs while the animation is active
if the counter lands Yamazaki immediately hits with his own upper cut that can be super cancelled
the move is beat out by most lows in the game, however it is hitbox dependent and some higher angled lows can be caught with it (ex: Seth & Vice's sweeps can be countered, but not Bao's).
it will counter a hit even from behind on Yamazaki, he will still send his uppercut in the same direction started.
the uppercut counter causes soft knockdown
Serpent Slash (Upper) * - (qcb + A, hold to delay)
Yamazaki's arm hangs limp at his side then strikes out with a whip-like limb
A version strikes in an upward diagonal arc
will hit an aerial opponent about 1/3 a screen away, a standing opponent a character length away and will whiff on crouching opponents.
it will whiff even point blank on standing smaller character like Chin. Bao etc.
on aerial opponents it will hit for 2 or 1 hits depending on spacing and cause soft knockdown
great anti-air tool
very negative on block
Serpent Slash (Middle) * - (qcb + B, hold to delay)
B version strikes out in a horizontal area in front of him
depending on spacing it will land 2 or 1 hits
hits mid
good spacing tool
Serpent Slash (Lower) * - (qcb + C, hold to delay)
C version strikes out in a downward angle
depending on spacing hits for 2 or 1 hits
though it strikes downward it actually hits mid and can be blocked by either standing or crouching opponents
depending on character specific wake up time this can be used as an OTG follow up (ex: dp+b, qcb+c)
Serpent Slash Cancel - (D while holding Serpent Slash)
while charging any version of the Serpent Slash you can press D and cancel it into Yamazaki's neutral stance
Screw Blow - (rdp + A/C)
Yamazaki winds up and unleashes a devilish liver punch
both versions hit mid and cause hard knockdown
both versions are safe on block
both versions hit from about a full character distance away
neither version has invulnerability and Yamazaki can be hit out of it easily
during the windup, since Yamazaki moves back a little, you might bait a poorly space move and get the hit
A version has a quicker windup
A version cause about 1/3 guard damage
C version has a considerably longer windup
C version does 100% guard damage and Guard Crashes on block
Bombshell Badda-Bing - (close, hcb, f + A/C)

although the move is made for blocking/reflecting projectiles both versions will land two hits on the opponent and can be comboed into
Fight of Tempering - (dp + B)
Yamazaki kicks up his leg and crashes it down on the opponent
the first hit counts as a mid, but the second counts as an overhead

if the second hit lands and Yamazaki knocks down the opponent he can follow up with an OTG qcb+C
