Is there such a person in the "King of Fighters" series who has done all the bad things, is arrogant, treacherous, has no loyalty, and almost makes everyone hate it deeply, but he has lived to the finale, and even survived his boss to death, becoming the boss himself?
That's right, this person is Ryuji Yamazaki.
It is said that no matter what the game, the villains who appear in the plot will eventually be defeated by the righteous side. The values promoted in this way are correct and lead people to good.
For example, the villain Giss in "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" was eventually defeated by Terry's hands; the accomplice Billy eventually reformed and lived a solid life with his sister, and the other villains were basically killed by the protagonist group. Even White and Keyne, who appear in the south town in the later period, are defeated one by one in the chapter.
There are also many villains on the side of "The King of Fighters", Cui Dao's wife and Zhang Juhan (official name) have changed their hearts with the "help" of Jin Jiazhao, and they have changed their minds from villains to "righteous men", such seemingly vicious people who can only make small troubles can survive in the "King of Fighters" world, and gradually develop into funny characters, as do Raiden and Hoxha.
And the most heinous person must die, Lukal blew himself up, The Eight Jies killed himself, the Great Serpent perished, the Sound Nest was destroyed, and the distant other never existed...
However, there is a fish that has slipped through the net, that is, one of the eight masterpieces: Yamazaki Ryuji, the evil star that crosses the "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" and "The King of Fighters", and even continues to write a new chapter in "King of Fighters 14", playing "sin" to the extreme.
Why can Yamazaki Ryuji be arrogant for so long?
Perhaps it is precisely because he has no natural enemies and no old enemies, that is, so free.
Ryuji Yamazaki first appeared in Hungry Wolf Legend 3 as a minor boss-level character. The opening screen of the game completely sets off his aura, showing that he is the villain carefully created by SNK after Gies. And Ryuji Yamazaki has indeed supported his popularity.
The Legend of the Hungry Wolf 3
In fact, Yamazaki Ryuji has an old enemy, that is, Hong Fu, a Hong Kong policeman.
Even in Hong Fu's ending, he has successfully arrested Ryuji Yamazaki. Unfortunately, although Hong Fu is based on Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee, his sense of existence has not been very high. In the end, he did not make it to the later "King of Fighters" series, and Ryuji Yamazaki lost this nemesis.
In the finale of The Legend of the True Hungry Wolf, Ryuji Yamazaki even defeats Gies. In his eyes, Gies was just a person who would be replaced by himself.
After defeating Ji Si, he took the "Qin Tantra" for half a day and couldn't see why, and then thought that this thing was not a rare thing, and he didn't know why Ji Si and others wanted to fight for your life, so he casually threw away the "Qin Tantra". Deeply hidden in the name and fame
Ryuji Yamazaki, who has the aura of a villain, once found Terry, who has the aura of the protagonist, but the result was not resolved.
By the way, in RB Hungry Wolf Legend 2, another popular object appeared: Rick. At that time, in order to praise this character, he even used Terry as a stepping stone and defeated Terry as soon as he appeared. Unfortunately, Rick was ultimately unable to gain super popularity, and disappeared before the player's eyes, not even having the opportunity to be the background in the "King of Fighters" series.
Ryuji Yamazaki can only be unique and cannot be copied. So it was hard for Rick to get as angry as he was anymore.
As the boss, Yamazaki Ryuji does have a few dazzling moves.
Does it all look familiar? Yes, these skills have been continued and reset in the King of Fighters series. Of course, the special effects are not as gorgeous as "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf".
Ryuji Yamazaki's strongest skill comes from his potential ability: shooting 5 spirits. This trick was not even played out during the game hall period. Because the conditions of the move are very harsh.
Normal potential capabilities are:
If you want to promote the highest level of potential ability, you must first be red blood, full of energy, and then use the command: a circle of the joystick, trigger the hidden ability, and click the C key 13 times immediately after the successful release, just over a second, can a normal person achieve it? However, if he succeeds, Ryuji Yamazaki will start charging up and clicking ABC at the same time within 0.5 seconds of his body turning red, which can trigger this move. The power of this move far exceeded the previous levels, and it was the ultimate must-kill of Yamazaki Ryuji.2.
Highest level of potential competency:
In the face of this move, what fierce wind fist, what overlord Xiang roar fist, what Caesar Emperor Wave was simply weak.
It is precisely because of the birth of this move that it laid the foundation for Yamazaki Ryuji to enter the world of "King of Fighters". In King of Fighters 97, Ryuji Yamazaki, Mary, and Billy join the battle as a special team. At this time, Yamazaki Ryuji is recognized as one of the "Eight Masters". Each of the eight sets has their own attributes, and Ryuji Yamazaki has: teeth
And Ryuji Yamazaki's super-killer color just became the way he presented the blood of the great snake in the Eight Jies.
In fact, the clear-eyed people can see at a glance that Yamazaki Ryuji was actually forcibly joined by SNK to join the name of the Eight Jie Set.
After all, although he was relatively hanging during the "Legend of the Hungry Wolf", the skills he used were all within the human category, and he had also worked under Gies, and did not show the power of the awakened great snake. And "King of Fighters 97" is already the final chapter of the series, only the eight jie set is still one, so it directly pulled him hard and gave him a title of eight jie set.
In the plot, we will find that Yamazaki Ryuji and the other members of the Hachijie set do not have much intersection. The story shows that Ryuji Yamazaki was at odds with the other members, so there was no contact. Ryuji Yamazaki already knew his fate after awakening, but he was unwilling to accept it, and he was also unwilling to be restrained.
Storm Gonitz once approached Gardi Road, but Gardi Road gave up his status as a Bajie set and refused to return to the team. This provoked a fierce displeasure from Storm, which eventually prompted Crazy Lyanna to kill him.
The Seven Shackles Society once found Yamazaki Ryuji, but Yamazaki Ryuji did not kill him at all, and even did not take his mission seriously, which was considered by the Seven Shackles Society to be a disgrace to the Great Snake Clan. After being rejected, the Seven Shackles Society did not take extreme measures, perhaps he thought that he could not fight among themselves at this time!
In the final battle between Kyohachiraku and the Great Snake in "King of Fighters 97", under the throbbing of the blood of the Great Snake, the members of the Eight Jie Ji began to commit suicide sacrifice, but Yamazaki Ryuji was able to resist the summons of the Blood of the Great Snake and did not sacrifice himself. The Great Snake has no suitable catalyst and can only forcibly resurrect Chris, resulting in the incomplete strength of the Great Snake of this century, and is eventually defeated by Kyohachi.
After the Great Serpent was sealed, Ryuji Yamazaki became the only person to possess the blood of the Pure Great Serpent.
How arrogant is Ryuji Yamazaki? Rejecting the Blood Summoning of the Great Snake is just the beginning, and in the "King of Fighters" series, this guy has not stopped, even his teammates. This also led to not playing for a long time, and no one could be found to form a team.
Eight gods beat up teammates, at least there is an aura! Ryuji Yamazaki has lost his boss aura after coming to "King of Fighters".
Ryuji Yamazaki was directly canonized in "King of Fighters 97" and became one of the top five. Compared to the other members of the Top Five, Ryuji Yamazaki played the least number of times. The character is relatively poor, resulting in no breathing up and down, and there is no problem with the eight gods, Chen Guohan and the gate, but it is a little troublesome for the kagura Chizuru. Compared with other characters, Dragon Er's moves are more cumbersome, if you encounter energy consumption, the amount of movement of the joystick button is relatively large, which is likely to lead to operation errors.
In any version, Yamazaki Ryuji's expression can only be described in two words: obscenity
So far, Ryuji Yamazaki has not been defeated or received the retribution he deserves. And his legend will continue to be staged.
