I'm not sure why, but no one seems to like (or even talk about) Blaze. In the past, I really didn't play him much cause I wasn't familiar with JC or Kano... But that was a long time ago, now I like using JC and am good at Xing Yi, and I kinda just forgot about Blaze for a while.

I'm starting to really like him right now as I've been practicing with him for the past few days now.

Blaze doesn't have the mixup-combos, but he has hapkido which is very versitile in itself with some great sweeps. He has launching moves in each of his 3 styles which can start or add to many many many unique combos. And the rush special is one of the best in the game!

Though I do have some beef with him, but they are small things... One of his combos does not work! In Hapkido: 2,3,cs,2,3,3,b+3. Not sure what that would do, maybe a sweep at the end, but it just wasn't working for me. Also, I'm not sure where to use his special uppercut. It's damn cool looking, but it's not really that strong and is slow.

But there are a lot of kool things you can do with this guy... I would like to discuss.

My favorite combo so far is:
(hapkido) 2,3,cs,2,3,3,cs,u+4,*1,1,2,b+1
* here you may need to step forward a little bit
