Overview
Eiji is a very weak character with poor special moves and decent normals. His main gameplan is to force mistakes from the opponent and punish them using his very limited toolkit. Unlike his appearances in KOF, especially in '95 and '98 UMFE, Eiji's special moves are completely terrible, with the only noteworthy ones being Kasumigiri (214A) and Ryueijin (28A). Even then, Kasumigiri is a far cry from its KOF glory. His supers are basic, run-of-the-mill AoF2 supers that will give you some mileage, especially considering he barely uses the meter he gets.
