Tips
- 0
Yoshimitsu's Flash (1+4) is extremely fast at i6~9 startup; avoid using moves that leave you at minor frame disadvantages up close to prevent being launched.
- 0
If Yoshimitsu uses Kangaroo Kick (4~3) and you block it, punish with your i13 f+1+4 for a heavy knockdown as it is -13 on block.
- 0
Use f,n,d,df+1 (Shadow Lariat) to pressure Yoshimitsu; it is +5 on block and deals 6 chip damage, making it difficult for him to safely spin away.
- 0
Armor King's b+1 is a fast i12 high that is only -7 on block, making it a safer check against Yoshimitsu's evasion than slower mids.
- 0
If Yoshimitsu whiffs a big move, use f+1+4 (Shoulder Impact) for a fast i13 long-range punish that deals significant damage.
