fighting style

Yuri uses the lower grade version of the Kyokugenryu Karate discipline, and is taught only the basic, low-level movements. To prove her own worth, she personally modifies her style to better suit her physique and personality. Among his own moves are "Hyakuretsu Binta" (Hundred Heartbreaking Slaps), "En'yoku" (Swallow Wing), "Hien Hou'ou Kyaku" (Flying Swallow Fenghuang Leg), and the most popular, "Yuri Chou Upper" (Yuri Super Upper), with its added variations. Later in The King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match, she even manages to create her own version of the Kyokugen-style "Ryuuko Ranbu" (Wild Dance of the Dragon Tiger). Several of her techniques also have a naming theme with the phrase "flying swallow." Her moveset is a recurring parody of several special moves in the Street Fighter series. This is most notable in The King of Fighters '96, when she received her "Yuri Chou Mawashi Geri" (Yuri's Super Spinning Kick), which was similar to Sakura's "Shunpukyaku". She has since received several moves and other attitudes that are parodies of these (from both Capcom and SNK alike).
