The King of Fighters '98 UMFE/Yuri Sakazaki
Introduction
Yuri is a poking and rushdown focused character with a large bag of tools. In neutral she has access to a lot of strong options, on the ground she has some really nice pokes, a burn knuckle, a shorter ranged fireball and in the air she has access to an air throw and a short ranged fireball. On offense Yuri has access to an overhead, a good low confirm and a nice crossup. On defence she has access to a good dp and a nice super fireball to counter fireball zoning with.
