KOF WING 2010 SERIES
Ryu's Shin Shouryuuken (True Rising Dragon Fist): Shin! Chou Upper! (Wick/Staple! Super Upper!) in KOF '98 (UM) (as EX Yuri), KOF '99~XI / Neowave, KOF EX2: Howling Blood and KOF: Maximum Impact series.Sakura's Flower Kick: Senkai Kyaku (Swiveling Leg) in KOF '99~2001 and KOF: Maximum Impact series.Yuri has since then received various moves and other mannerisms that are parodies of these (both Capcom and SNK alike): This is very noticeable in The King of Fighters '96, when she received her Yuri Chou Mawashi Geri (Yuri Super Roundhouse Kick), which was similar to Sakura's Shunpuu Kyaku. Yuri's moveset is a running parody of various special moves from the Street Fighter series. Several of her techniques also have a flying swallow-naming motif. Later in KOF 2002 UM, she even manages to create her own version of the Kyokugen-style's signature Ryuuko Ranbu (Dragon Tiger Wild Dance). Among her own moves are the Slipstream Handslap/Hyakuretsu Binta (Hundred Rending Face Slaps), the Big Butt Press/ En'yoku (Swallow Wing), Hien Hou'ou Kyaku (Flying Swallow Fenghuang Leg), and the more popular Yuri Chou Upper (Yuri Super Upper) with its added variations. To prove her own worth, she personally arranges the style to better fit her physique and persona. Yuri uses the lowest-grade version of the Kyokugenryu Karate discipline, and is taught only the basic and low-level moves. However, these copied techniques tend to be quite ineffective when used by her since she has not properly trained them and she has a bad habit of trying to use them anyway. Copying techniques: Yuri is capable of copying almost any technique after seeing it once.Energy Reflector: Yuri can create a ball of energy in her hands to reflect projectiles.Energy Projectile: Yuri can fire the Ko-Ou Ken and Haoh Shoukou Ken blast normally.Gather chi: Yuri can gather chi from Gaia, the mother-earth.Though still present to a certain degree, this attraction and relationship is downplayed in the King of Fighters series, and is sometimes the humorous cause as to why Robert is suddenly being beaten up by Ryo and Takuma. As of Art of Fighting 3, she is confirmed to be in a relationship with Robert. In the Art of Fighting series, it is heavily implied that she has a romantic interest in Robert after her kidnapping. She is often arguing with her father and Ryo over matters regarding her newfound sense of independence. She is a strong believer of innovation and trends, constantly finding ways to improve herself through change.

Yuri Sakazaki is a friendly young girl who always cares about her family and friends.
