Real Bout Fatal Fury 2/Cheng Sinzan

Cheng Sinzan (RB2)

Introduction

A business man who loves eating and was considered part of the Big Three alongside Geese Howard and Jeff Bogard, can't say if that holds up currently.

Gameplay wise, Cheng is a very unorthodox, semi-joke character. He has many gimmicks with his command normals and even Sideline attacks, but that doesn't mean he is only tricks. He has genuinely good zoning and set-play with his energy balls, a good far reaching attack with his [4]6B/C that is also a great breakshot, and decent damage when the situation calls for it, He can be very hard to pin down, specially if the Cheng player knows how to trick their opponent. His P-Power can be hard to do in a combo, but it's safe if blocked and you are able to link afterwards

Sadly, Cheng has among the shortest range in the game, and doesn't have the rushdown capabilities to compensate, so an opponent with a lifelead can feasible lame him out. His combos require you to have charge already, and his non-sweep low, 2B, can't be chained again, so cancelling into 4[6]B to get a low combo is a hard read rather than a confirm. He lacks any real mix-up and his feints are weak so his pressure is lackluster. His S-Power is the worst in the game, so you are stuck with using meter for Breakshots and P-Power.

Cheng can easily keep the lead in a match just as easy as his opponent can keep theirs, so playing Cheng requires knowing to take advantage as possible and being as unpredictable as you can be. He is considered Bottom 1 in most tiers but that doesn't mean you can't make good use of him.

Pros	Cons
Great zoning and set-play with 236/623A A lot of ways to suddenly change his movement like 5CC and 6A>1/3C Amazing breakshots Decent damage with P-Power	Very poor range Sub-average pressure Hard confirms that require charge Worst S-Power in the game Has a very hard time making a comeback if the opponent wants to just block
