Wei Yan

Introduction
Wei Yan is one of Chaos Generation's many strong close-range fighters, who specialises in bullying the opponent into submission with great normals, insanely strong stagger pressure, and hard to block high-low mixups. He's also got an infinite.

Strengths & Weaknesses

 * Great high-low mixup
 * Kobokushi feint cancels grant both strong stagger pressure and an infinite
 * Lacks approach options
 * Somewhat risky defense

Super Combo
Youhou (236236P)

Sorta slow combo super. Good to tack on damage if you can find the hitstun for it.

Ultra Combo
Shinkuu Hadouken (236236BD)

Extremely useful, widely applicable ultra.

Strategy
2B and 2A are extremely good for pressure, and linking them to 2C in blockstrings allows you to cancel into Kobokushi feint, increasing its potential for staggers. Cancelling 2D into Kobokushi feint makes it a much stronger mid-range poke.

If your staggers don't open people up, your overheads certainly will. 6B is slower but nets you a full ground combo, 6CC is faster but only nets you a launch, which limits your combo options if you can't or don't want to MAX cancel. Use what you think is best for the situation.

Combos
Important links: [2B 2C], [2B 6C], [421C 2B]

Zonk Knuckle loop: [2B 2C 421C]x2, 2B...

Attempting to use 421C a third time forces a knockdown. You can extend with 2C 421A or 6CC. You can omit the loop altogether if you're having trouble with the link.

6CC combo: 236C, 236A...

Great for converting into MAX Mode combos. It's possible to tack on a 3C after 236A, but this can be a bit inconsistent.

Corner Palm Feint loop: [2B 2C 236P~K]xN.

Useful since this is also a really strong stagger pressure string.

MAX Mode loop: [214AA 236A]xN Slightly delay 214AA for every rep after the first. Once you hit the corner use [214AA 236A 236B, 2C 214AC] and then continue the loop, starting with 236A.

The Infinite: [f.A,C,C 236P~K]xN

Using Kobokushi feint cancels allows this string to link back into itself, which is very strong since it hits crouchers and doesn't have a combo limit. Starting with [2B 2A] before going into the string will keep you at the perfect f.A distance to loop, but in the corner, you'll need to add [2B 2A] to every loop to maintain f.A distance.
