Character breakdown: Yamcha part 1

Yamcha oh Yamcha How could you suck so much in the series but OWN so much in this game. Seriously, I dont understand how such a craptastic ass character such as yamcha could be top tier in this game. Well Maybe i can understand but WOW! Yamcha requires a decent ammount of skill to properly play but man is it worth it. Lets break him down shall we?

Best things about Yamcha:

After image
Power to the very limit
Charge ki blasts(will explain)
Decent charge up rate
Wolf fang fist(TOO GOOD!)
Very good keepaway

Worst things about Yamcha:
Melee
Lack of very good combos
UB could be a bit better

Now as you can see he has so many advantages and his only main problem is that his melee is so horrible. But With what he has he can still hurt his opponents.

After image

Normally Costing 2 stocks, Yamcha can actually escape from combos alot of different combos and situations that you normally cannot teleport out of using a defensive teleport. This makes it very hard to keep him down because now he has the ability to punish his opponents for being careless alot easier than the majority of the characters in the game.

Power to the very limit

Another rare but very powerful move costing 2 stocks This allows yamcha to actually power up with out actually charging up. While also increasing all of his stats for a certain amount of time. Yamcha being able to use this at will makes him even more of a threat because now he doesnt have to waste time powering up, He can now actually keep his opponent away from him and use this move to save alot of time. Oh and the start up on this move is very fast so it can be used anytime you have a small opening.

Charged Ki Blasts
Your key to success part 1. These are really good because they move very slow and they also track the opponent very well. These are very hard to avoid. This is the key to yamcha's keep away game. USE THESE ALL OF THE TIME =P

Wolf fang fist

This move only costs 2 stocks of ki meter and actually comes out pretty fast, does decent damage and makes your opponent fear it because its so cheap. If you miss, it only costs one meter so you arent losing too much ki energy if you miss(try not to miss anyway)

*Will update with the rest at a later time
