He also has very short hit-confirms strings which may cause the player to sometimes end the strings if blocked to in an unsafe position or to miss an opportunity on big damage if a hit was placed and the player wasn't ready for it. The only disadvantages he has is that his damage placed mid-screen (especially without meter) is rather weak and many of his more damaging combos can be a bit tricky to execute. His meter and drive usage is very economical and dish out heavy damage in many of his combos, especially in the corner. Benimaru's long range capabilities are a little weak, but he can threaten projectiles with his EX Benimaru Lancer (qcb+AC) and his NeoMax (qcfx2+BD).

His command throw the Benimaru Collider (hcb,f+P) can create some very nasty okizeme (wake-up) mix-ups, and his normal throw in the corner can be juggled after to inflict major damage. His ground game is exceptionally good with his good standing and crouching normals, and he can control and maintain space in the air with his aerial Raijinken's, his annoying jump D and air throw. His Neomax has no invincibility but it comes out a lot faster, so it might be fun to think of ways in using it." Gameplay Overviewīenimaru has always excelled at mid-range and close quarters combat in previous KOF games, and he is even stronger in KOFXIII. The EX air Raijinken should be fun to place around for an attack string. The EX Collider and EX Raijinken should especially come to more use since the opponent can be hit afterwards. Producer Yamamoto says: "We’ve balanced him so that even the attacks that weren’t being used in the arcades would be of use.
