Special Moves

Sadomaso - (hcf + K)

• Yamazaki leans forward with his tongue out, daring the opponent to strike
• counters mids and highs while the animation is active
• if the counter lands Yamazaki immediately hits with his own upper cut that can be super cancelled
• the move is beat out by most lows in the game, however it is hitbox dependent and some higher angled lows can be caught with it (ex: Seth & Vice's sweeps can be countered, but not Bao's).
• it will counter a hit even from behind on Yamazaki, he will still send his uppercut in the same direction started.
• the uppercut counter causes soft knockdown

Serpent Slash (Upper) * - (qcb + A, hold to delay)

• Yamazaki's arm hangs limp at his side then strikes out with a whip-like limb
• A version strikes in an upward diagonal arc
• will hit an aerial opponent about 1/3 a screen away, a standing opponent a character length away and will whiff on crouching opponents.
• it will whiff even point blank on standing smaller character like Chin. Bao etc.
• on aerial opponents it will hit for 2 or 1 hits depending on spacing and cause soft knockdown
