The King of Fighters '98 UMFE/EX Yamazaki - Dream Cancel Wiki

EX Yamazaki is a midrange poking character with a strong emphasis on neutral mindgames and pressure. EX Yamazaki's most defining feature is his long-ranged poke specials, which can cover space in different angles in front of him. Combine this with some good poking normals, and EX Yamazaki's neutral space control becomes quite strong. EX Yamazaki wants to keep you guessing over which move he will do, so that the opponent starts to hesitate in neutral. EX Yamazaki can then use this hesitation to go in, as his own close-range pressure game is quite strong due to his ability to cancel his poking specials' startup to create huge frame advantage for free. He can then make the most of this pressure with his overhead and 1f command grab DM. EX Yamazaki also gets some quite damaging combos, especially when you have a lot of meter to spend.

Wish more iterations of Yamazaki gave him properties that EX Yamazaki possess in 98 UM and UM FE. Having an OTG command throw and a hidden lvl. 5 drill was so cool.
