Asura Buster: Eternal Warriors/Yashaou/Introduction

From SuperCombo Wiki

Yashaou is the main protagonist of the series, a hot-blooded swordsman who wields a katana and possesses mastery over the element of fire.

Even though he was successful in defeating both S. Geist and Curfue during the Asura Blade incident three years prior, Yashaou's hard-fought victory came at a tough price. He had suffered a large wound to his right arm, increasing the instability of his own fiery power. Despite this, Yashaou continues to live his own life as a traveling mercenary and decides to investigate the mystery of the lost continent for both money and curiosity.

Yashaou was good in Asura Blade, but here he's an absolute powerhouse. He hasn't changed so much besides the loss of his weapon throw, so Yashaou players should feel right at home. Yashaou is a strong all-around character with excellent combos and tools for every situation.
