Tips
- 0
Use f+2 (i10 startup) to interrupt Yoshimitsu's slower stance transitions, as it is a safe high that leads to a massive +32a launch on counter hit.
- 0
If Yoshimitsu uses Soul Stealer (Flash) at -20 on block, punish it heavily with f,F+2 (Rocket Uppercut) or df+2 for a full combo.
- 0
When in Heat, use GMC.2 (Exaton Blast) to force a Guard Break (+11 on block) against Yoshimitsu's defensive spinning or healing.
- 0
Be wary of Yoshimitsu's i6 Flash (1+4) when you are at a frame advantage; avoid using strings like 1,1 which are -14c on block and easily interrupted.
- 0
Use Debugger (df+1+4) sparingly as it is -37 on block, but its homing property helps catch Yoshimitsu's frequent sidestepping.
- 0
Punish Yoshimitsu's Rising Knee (uf+3) or basic Uppercut (df+2) with your b+1+2 Heat Engager, as both are punishable at -13 and -7 respectively.
