Tips
- 0
Yoshimitsu's Flash (1+4) is a unique i6~9 launcher; avoid mindless pressure with jabs or df+1 if he is looking to interrupt your flow.
- 0
If Yoshimitsu uses Kangaroo Kick (4~3), it is -13 on block; punish it consistently with f+2,3 or 4,4 to discourage his high-reward evasion.
- 0
Use df+1 to check Yoshimitsu's movement, as it tracks SSR/SWR completely and keeps him from stepping your offense easily.
- 0
Yoshimitsu's f+4 power crush is -13 on block; use 4,4 or f+2,3 to punish him if he tries to armor through your pokes.
- 0
When Yoshimitsu enters Dragonfly (DGF) stance, his sweep (DGF.3) is i22 and -13 on block; stay alert to block low and punish.
- 0
Shaheen's slide (FC.df,d,DF+3) is a powerful tool here, but if blocked, it is -23 and will lead to a full launch punish.
- 0
Watch for Yoshimitsu's f,f,F+3 which is +5g on block; do not press buttons immediately after blocking this unless you are prepared to be counter-hit.
- 0
Many of Yoshimitsu's spinning moves like db+3,3,3,3,3,3 are heavily punishable on block (-26); wait for the sequence to end and use a launch punisher like uf+4.
