Yamcha's Abilities

Though Yamcha is a skilled swordsman[33][34][35] he is an exceptional martial artist.[36] His signature technique is the Rogafūfūken, literally "Wolf Fang Wind Fist" (Wolf Fang Fist in the English dub), a quick flurry of punches and kicks.[37] Yamcha uses the technique often during the Dragon Ball anime, though by Dragon Ball Z, he appears to have discarded its use. He has the ability to perform the Kamehameha, a concentrated beam of a chi energy blast that many other characters in the series have the ability to perform as well.[38] Yamcha also uses the Sôkidan, literally "Manipulated Energy Bullet" (Spirit Ball in the English dub), a technique that forms a ball of chi energy to assault an opponent with. He can fully control the ball, allowing it to home in on enemies and to go underground for a surprise attack.[39] He also possesses superhuman strength, speed and reflexes. Unable to keep the pace with the rest of the Z warriors, Yamucha retired from fighting twice; the first time to play professional baseball after the first death of Son Goku, and the second time after his near-death experience fighting against androids #19 and #20. In spite of this, Yamucha is arguably one of the strongest human beings alive.

Like other characters in the series, Yamcha has the ability of flight, which he uses many times throughout the story.
