Special Moves
dp+				HL			Upper Duel - dp+P Yashiro does a rising uppercut attack that has upperbody autoguard if the first hit whiffs, then the rest of the move does not complete - if it does hit, then Yashiro will rise into the air for another hit if dp+A was used and two hits if dp+C was used dp+A free cancellable out of on the first hit, dp+C free cancellable out of on the first two hits free cancellable into
dp+				HL
qcb+				HL			Sledgehammer - qcb+K Yashiro leaps into the air and smashes the ground with his fists qcb+D travels further and higher than qcb+B this move has lower body invinciblity on startup hard knockdown free cancellable into
qcb+				HL
hcf+			qcf+A	HL			Jet Counter - hcf+P Yashiro does a dashing punch forward that does not knockdown the opponent if it hits hcf+A comes out quicker, travels shorter than qcf+C and is safe on block hcf+C is an overhead hcf+A can be followed up with qcf+A, while hcf+C can be followed up with qcf+C. However, there is a glitch in which, executing hcf+AC will result in hcf+A coming out, yet allow you to use a qcf+C followup. This followup isn't the same as his qcf+C followup after hcf+C, it has a faster recovery which allows you to juggle with qcfx2+P free cancellable into free cancellable out of
hcf+			qcf+C	H
hcf++			qcf+A,qcf+C	HL
> qcf+ (after hcf+A)				HL			Jet Counter: Still - qcf+P (after hcf+P) after hcf+AC, qcf+A does a simple punch that pushes him back safely and does not knock down the opponent. qcf+C knocks the opponent into the air where they can be juggled after hcf+C, qcf+C does an uppercut punch that launches them into the air where they can be juggled. However, Yashiro recovers when the opponent hits the ground, so he can only juggle if qcf+C is cancelled out of all followups whether after hcf+A, hcf+AC or hcf+C, can be free cancellabled out of qcf+C is supercancellable

DM
qcfx2+				HL			Final Impact - qcfx2+P Yashiro does a very quick forward punch that has good range. If blocked, he can be punished unless it was blocked from max distance comes out extremely quick, allowing you to punish many moves on block that would seem unpunishable by most characters Can be held
qcfx2+				HL
SDM
qcfx2++				HL			Final Impact - qcfx2+AC acts just like his normal DM version but with a little extra damage
HSDM
qcb,hcf++				HL			[ERROR] CODE 2002 - qcb hcf+BD Yashiro dashes towards the opponent quickly. If he connects, he will perform a series of attacks if blocked, Yashiro does not perform the rest of the attacks, but recovers quickly there's no point in using this move except for some flashy combos

Combos

Anywhere

• cr.B/A cr.AA st.B
• cr.B/A cr.AA qcfx2+P
• cl.D/cl.C, f+A, hcf+AC qcf+C, juggle with qcfx2+P
• f+B, hcf+AC qcf+A/[qcf+C, juggle with qcfx2+P]
  • qcf+C will whiff at some ranges
• hcf+C qcf+C xx qcfx2+P
  • You must charge the super for a bit or it will whiff

Max Mode

• cr.B/A cr.C st.B BC qcfx2+P/qcfx2+AC
  • Because of the speed of Yashiro's DM it is possible to BC cancel many of his light normals and immediately link DM afterwards. This combo is merely an example. In order to get the DM out in time, buffer like so: st.B qcf+BC qcf+P
• cl.C f+A BC run up cl.C f+A hcf+AC (C)dp+P(1) (C)hcf+AC (C)dp+P(1) (C)hcf+AC qcf+C qcfx2+P/qcfx2+AC (80%/90%)
  • you must run up very close if you do this outside the corner
• (Already in maxmode) hcf+C (C)dp+P(1) (C)hcf+AC (C)dp+P(1) (C)hcf+AC qcf+C qcfx2+P/qcfx2+AC
