Yoshimitsu

Ideal Team Position: Point

Yoshimitsu is a fairly complex character, but not necessarily in a manner that is high execution. Most of his buttons are very awkward to use in a traditional sense, and even seemingly good hitboxes on his sword-based normals aren’t as good as they may appear to be. To compensate for this, Yoshimitsu makes due with the other tools he has at his disposal to confound opponents. He has numerous ways he can safely tag in his partner, chief among them his Sword Poke Windmill that can lure opponents closer to him. This is especially useful as a whiff punish on the ground, and sometimes it will even catch opponents in the air. His Overhead target combo is another safe tag-in option, and counts as an “off the ground” attack that will crush certain low attacks. His j.HP is a powerful offensive weapon, as it is active for a long time, starts up quickly, and has a hitbox that completely protects his hurtbox when activated. This makes it useful for both jump-in and air-to-airs, and he can get full combos off both. Yoshimitsu is also well-equipped to deal with aerial assaults from the ground, as his DP has air crush properties and leads to a follow-up juggle. If you have meter and life to spare, Yoshimitsu’s EX Suicide into a tag combo can lead to absurd damage, potentially turning the tide of battle into your favor. Because Yoshimitsu has so many options to safely tag in his partner, and because his own solo damage is lacking, it is best to have Yoshimitsu start the match and utilize his assortment of safe tag options to bring his partner into the match.

-Previously garbage tier, Yoshi got a few buffs in 2013 that made him better. He still is a very awkward character but is very fun to use. His walkspeed is slow, his moves are long, and his target combos are weird. The thing about Yoshimitsu is that all of that weirdness can be used to your advantage. He is great at building meter and doing tag combos and his Tekken Strings make him move backwards, spin, and pretty much move around everywhere. Yoshimitsu is not a character that you want to keep in for very long but is great at being a supporting character. Probably the closes character to being an "assist" character (a team support character from UMvC3) in SFxT.}}
