The King of Fighters '98 UMFE/Yashiro Nanakase

Introduction

Yashiro is a big buttons poking character with some excellent damage from his good confirms. Yashiro shines when he is in neutral and poking. He has access to a great st.B and cr.D that lets him control the ground really well. He has a series of rekkas with different followups for combos but they also have some poking and mixup use. Yashiro's close range offense is a bit limited but he does have access to an overhead and low confirms into super. On defence Yashiro does have a dp but it's pretty slow so it's hard to rely on. Yashiro is extra deadly when he has access to the extra mode meter as that drives his combo damage up by a lot.
