Quick Comparison - Yamazaki - KOF XV vs XIV vs 2002 um

Time to compare our favorite psycho of KOF series, Ryuji Yamazaki.
I do not play him, but I have to admit that he looks cool. And his new design looks awesome.

[@jeckarcade7312]

00:01 - '02 Yamazaki
02:23 - XIV Yamazaki
04:20 - XV Yamazaki

[@theolanderdilag3872]

Changes:
- Drill became a climax rather than a normal super
- Added a poison super
- Removed any knife attacks (dp + punch, qcf+ABCD, part of Drill)
- Removed 2k2UM climax
- Added another command normal (f+B)
- Counter move animations are modified
- Screw Blow removed (reverse dp + punch)
- Added back ground command move (hcb,f+k)
- Guillotine move animations modified
- Drill LV4 has been modified greatly
- Drill Lv3 just throws a random shit he just found

[@rdu239]

No more knives in current Japan...unless it s Yakuza game

[@UltramanMebiusBrave]

Drill LV4 in XV ends with slamming the opponent to the ground instead of sending them flying.

[@kenrichgumanid9235]

Shaking a hand.

[@tawniajames5696]

Just throws a random shit he just found lmao

[@swagit4174]

They gave so much love for my boi in 15!!

[@kingmonke4111]

What about the knife 🔪

[@thaistomp]

@@kingmonke4111 They really need to give his knife attacks back with an update. It's really stupid that he doesn't have his knife when there are other characters that use blades.

[@junkyyard2273]

@@thaistomp
maybe its because it's a change of style. I think I really like how the portray Yamazaki here. He just has bare hands that could easily rip you to shreds without having to need a weapon.
Knife Yamazaki was great, but I think knifeless is an interesting approach

[@thaistomp]

@@junkyyard2273 Nah, he needs his knife. Lol.

[@junkyyard2273]

@@thaistomp
nah he's fine he feels even more menacing

[@joaoii1082]

Only wished that in 15 instead of him just looking at his hand and progressively getting, that he'd just soazz out just like in 2002

[@jeckarcade7312]

I agree, 02 face is like he is about to have a heart attack of so much crazyness.
In XV/XIV he took his pills.

[@UltramanMebiusBrave]

@@jeckarcade7312 Nope. Yamazaki looks at his hands in KOF XIV and XV *_JUST TO SEE HOW MUCH BLOOD AND CARNAGE HE CAN FILL WITH IT!_*

[@joaoii1082]

@@UltramanMebiusBrave... Nah

[@elbowssimon7407]

0:40 Who else wishes they would bring this move back?
2:11 Oh yeah, and this one. This was WAY better as a max desperation move, Drill should be a normal desperation move with two versions.
And while I'm on the topic, why don't we get Yamazaki's knife move back? KOF 2002 Yamazaki was better.

[@axelmiramontes409]

Yamazaki is already deadly even without his knife lol

[@MarianoMariano987]

Hes so powerful and crazy
i love it 👍🏼

[@danielelia2256]

can we appreciate the fact that in 2002 they made a different move for all the ulti?

[@WickedParanoid]

So, he had a knife before? But not in 14 (and 15)? You know, in the same game where Nakoruru sports a blade? Ridiculous.

[@yourewallsareveryconvenien8292]

Oh my god Yamazaki in XV. That laugh....

[@InfiniteDark33]

Bro in the um version he had sooo many special attacks and a knife . I really really love yamazaki specially the mugen version orochi yamazaki he's a real killer in that form❤

[@komisan5757]

i just want a crossover between namco and snk only to see yamazaki vs bryan

[@axelmiramontes409]

Yeah both are Criminals

The old sprites still look better than the new 3d stuff. They should probably do something about that

[@junkyyard2273]

[@monicachan8857]

Yamazaki emang udah gak waras

[@hikkikomori1182]

Too much satisfing 2:12 XIV and XV look like a games for kids compared to the old KOF.. no blood, less violence, slow 3D animations and clothes looks stiff
