Real Bout Fatal Fury 2/Ryuji Yamazaki

Gameplay Overview

Yamazaki is, like in KoF, a difficult character for new players to learn. However, this doesn't mean he's a bad character. Yamazaki has all the tools and skills to keep up against the likes of Mary, Franco, etc. He has the fastest overheard in the game, his pursuit is almost as damaging as Geese's, and all around he's just a nasty character to face off against when someone knows how to play as him. He has anti-melee and anti-projectile moves counter-attack the opponent, a lot of his moves have great priority and/or decent invincibility frames, and some good breakshots.

Where Yamazaki starts to actually show some weakness is up close melee. He tends to fall pretty quickly under pressure and has a difficult time keeping up if he's not able to escape close-range combat. Yamazaki requires some zoning skills and practice, but if you can manage to keep the opponent out you'll see just how good he can be.

Pros	Cons
Fast moves Great priority Good anti-air and anti-projectile moves Second most damaging pursuit in the game Fastest overhead in the game	Rather lack-luster P-Power Has somewhat of a learning curve for newer players Some of his specials aren't very good outside of combos
