The King of Fighters '98 UMFE/Eiji Kisaragi

Introduction

Eiji is a very fast poking focused character. Eijis neutral game control is really strong due to his fast movement speed and access to teleports that lets him quickly change his positioning on the screen. Alongside this he has access to some excellent long ranged pokes like his qcf+C and good mid ranged pokes with his st.D and qcb+P. He also has an aerial projectile he can throw to stall his air momentum. Up close Eijis options are fairly limited. He can blockstring well and poke but he lacks any kind of real mixup tools, using his teleports to do which side mixups and going for throws are his best options. He also lacks any kind of real invincible reversal so his defensive game is a bit lacking.

Special Moves

Kikou Hou: qcf+P

• A version combos from heavy attacks, C version is slower but has a larger hitbox.

Kagenui: air qcf+P

• Must be blocked low if it hits near their toe. Can OTG but it's not guaranteed off anything. Can be done from a front & backdash. No cancellable air normals.

Kasumi Kiri: qcb+P

• Combos from light attacks. Can work well as AA. Long recovery period.

Ryuu Kagejin: dp+P

• Reflects projectiles (including DM), massive active frames. Combos from heavy attacks but only on backturned. dp+A gives slight advantage (meaty does not give extra advantage) and no pushback when in the corner.

Kage Utsushi: qcf+K

• B versions has high/mid level invincibility, D version has low, allowing you to move through projectiles with the right choice. D version goes further.

Kotsu Hazaki Kiri: hcb+K - B version combos from heavy attacks, D version travels faster. Massive active frames. B version is poor on block, but when meaty gives massive frame advantage. D version starts at neutral and improves from there.

Tenba Kyaku: rdp+K

• D version combos from c.D [1 hit] (only connects properly on standing). Can link normals after both, depending on the situation.

DM

Zantetsu Nami: qcf,hcb+P

• Amazing super. C version has great startup and travels fullscreen almost instantly (eating normal projectiles). Can punish a huge variety of moves from anywhere on the screen. Expect EX gauge Eiji's to spam this when they are on on low health. Combos from lights.

Zantetsu Kamakiriken: qcf,hcb+K

• Combos from lights, does slightly more damage than qcf,hcb+P. SDM version switches sides and does hard knockdown.

Combos

Normal

• c.B, c.A, qcb+P - tends to whiff unless your jump is perfect, so omit the c.B when doing from a jump.
• far s.C/c.D [1 hit], qcf+A/hcb+B
• j.X, s.C/s.D, qcf+A/hcb+B
• c.D [1 hit], rdp+D, c.A, qcb+P - midscreen
• j.X, c.D [1 hit], rdp+D, s.C, qcf+A/hcb+B - corner
• rdp+B, s.C, qcf+A/hcb+B - corner
• c.A, s.C/s.D - link

(hcb+B gives slightly better advatage on wakeup but is unsafe when blocked, qcf+A gives more meter)

(S)DM

• any of the above combos but with an (S)DM instead of the final special.

QuickMAX

• s.C, QM, qcf,hcb+P (S)DM - this is a link
• far s.D, QM, qcf,hcb+P (S)DM
• c.B, c.A, QM, s.C/s.D, special or DM (must walk forward slightly. alternatively you can just do a single c.B and you won't have to walk forward).

Quick Dodge

• c.D [1 hit], QD, qcf+A/hcb+B/qcf,hcb+K DM
• j.X, s.D, QD, qcf+A/hcb+B/qcf,hcb+K DM

Misc

• meaty s.C, qcf,hcb+C
• dp+P fireball reflect, qcf,hcb+C
• dp+A counterhit, qcf,hcb+C
• j.CD counterhit, qcf,hcb+C

Notes

• j.B and j.D are crossups, j.D is an instant overhead. s.A and far s.A will whiff on crouchers.
• s.D [2 hit] can be punished or rolled during the gap between the hits when it is blocked.
• far s.D can hop over low pokes.
• c.C is good anti-air and cancellable. On counterhit it combos with qcb+P and qcf,hcb+C. A good way to set up meaty hcb+K (another way is from far s.A anti-air against hops).
