AzuFight: Taisen Shiyo/Yukari

Yukari

Introduction

Yukari Tanizaki, also known as "Miss Yukari" by her students, is the girl's English and homeroom teacher. She's a teacher with very unconventional methods and a rather close relationship with the class. Depending on the day, time, and her mood, she can be either a horrible tyrant or one of the sweetest, most touching teachers ever. Her behavior ranges from mercilessly teasing Chiyo and hitting students with blunt objects to kind and gentle words and simple, encouraging notes on tests telling students she believes in them.

Overview

Playstyle

Yukari is a slow rushdown character that utilizes sharks to get in on her opponent.

Pick if you like

Avoid if you dislike

Extremely easy game plan - Yukari's extremely easy to figure out, shark just lets her get in and do her thing. Easy combos - Yukari's combos are really short and easy. Shark - Shark is basically May's dolphin but if its recovery had full invuln, basically just letting her get in incredibly easily. Also prone to clash but it really just Really good outburst - Her outburst allows her to have a dash with a hitbox she can combo after, allowing her to get some infinites as long as her outburst stays up. Also her damage gets a massive boost.

No forward dash - She can't dash forward. Really short combos - Her combos are pretty limited for the most part, mostly just going into a launch with 214C and extending in the air. Linear - Her game plan is really just getting in with shark most of the time. If the opponent has ways of counter playing it it kinda falls apart. Reliant on outburst - Her damage outside of Outburst is low and she lacks a dash so having an Outburst that solves both of those downsides makes her REALLY wanna go into it.
