Yari is a weaker weapon, especially because it almost never gets a chance to hit the head. Be sure to upgrade it FOUR times. Yari's super slash (right+punch+punch) is pretty effective at stopping Butcher from doing anything. If you get just the right distance, you can use the super slash three, four, even five times in a row before you get too close to Butcher.

Learn Butcher's attack patterns. If he is far enough away that you cannot reach him with your super slash, be prepared if he jumps up to make an earthquake. If you are quite far away and he jumps up, use the strong slash (right+punch). Even if you don't reach him, you'll be up in the air when he lands. Don't be afraid of his fire magic; armor will protect you. You should be very terrified of his Frenzy and Bleeding enchantments, because Bleeding bypasses defense checks and drains health by 30% total every time. Just keep attacking him to prevent him from attacking. Even if you block his cleavers, you might still Bleed.
