Art of Fighting 2/Yuri Sakazaki

Story

After her father dissappeared when she was young, Yuri became heavily dependent on Ryo. This dependency helped motivate Ryo to become a better fighter, but was to her detriment when she was kidnapped by Mr. Big. After being saved by Ryo and Robert, she was able to convince her father Takuma to train her, which he reluctantantly agreed to as he began to teach her the basics before she was invited to the King of Fighters tournament.
