Tips

  • 0

    Be extremely careful when pressing at small frame advantages; Yoshimitsu's 1+4 (Soul Stealer) is i6 startup and will interrupt Nina's standard pressure.

  • 0

    If Yoshimitsu uses f+1+2 (Kuzuryu), it is -12 on block; use Nina's b+1,4 for a consistent i12 punish that leads into a tornado on hit.

  • 0

    Many of Yoshimitsu's stance transitions, like DGF.3 (Dragonfly Sweep), are unsafe; DGF.3 is -13 on block and can be punished while he is airborne.

  • 0

    Use Nina's Ivory Cutter (1+4) to check Yoshimitsu's movement, as it is a safe i15 mid,mid string that is only -5 on block.

  • 0

    Watch for the Kangaroo Kick (4~3); it is -13 on block and can be punished by Nina's b+1,4.

  • 0

    When Yoshimitsu is in Kincho (1+2), his KIN.2 mid is -14 on block; punish it with df+1,2,1+2 for significant damage.
