The King of Fighters 2002 UM/Yuri Sakazaki

Normals

Close

• cl. A/B/C/D are cancel-able.
• Close B hits low.
• Close C/D are the combo starters of choice, close D is a bit slower though.

Standing

• Stand A is chain-able to other lights.
• Stand B can be used as a make-shift anti-air.
• Stand C isn't cancel-able but has good range, nice poking tool.
• Stand D is kinda slow, hits mid and isn't cancel-able.

Crouching

• cr. A/C/D are cancel-able/ whiff cancel-able.
• Crouch B is chain-able and very fast.
• Crouch C can be used as an anti-air attack, links into specials/DM's easily.
• Crouch D sweeps the opponent to the ground, you can whiff cancel it at any time.

Jumping

• j.B/C/D all cross-up.
• Jump C delivers a nice chunk of hit-stun on contact, great cross-up normal.
• Jump D hit-box stretches to her other leg making it great for jump-in attacks
• Jump B and D are both instant overheads.

Blowback Attack

• CD is very fast for a blowback attack but the range is poor, cancel-able/whiff cancel-able.
• JCD is her best air-to-air move as it stretches far and comes out best during a hyper hop

Throws

Demonic Slap - f/b + C

• Yuri grabs them then quickly slaps them across the face.
• Can be broken.
• Regular Knockdown.

Silent Throw - f/b + D

• Yuri grabs them then flip kicks to the other side of the screen, the recovery isn't all that good so if you do it to get them into the corner and they safe roll they maybe be able to punish you before you get a chance to block.
• Regular Knockdown

Swallow Dropper - in air, any direction except u + C

• Yuri grabs them then slams them onto the ground, Yuri doesn't really have any options are as it goes for attacking after landing a hard knockdown. DM Flying Phoenix Kick can work since it's her only move that goes fast and far enough but only if they don't guard so it's still a pretty big gamble, the more convenient choices would be "Go for the meaty jump-in" or a "(late) Rai Oh Ken!" for that extra pressure on wake-up.
• Can not be broken
• Hard Knockdown
