SF3 3rd Strike Tricks of the Trade: Yang

• Why you should play Yang

In order to play Yang you have to play very patiently. Look for your openings and punish very well. Yang may seem like a simple character. But he is not simple by any means. He is extremely reactionary. You have to be able to punish whiffs as you see them or you wont be able to play Yang effectively. Yang has really simple combos but has a really hard style to get a grasp to. Knowing combos is only half the battle. But thats where I will start first.

• How to play Yang effectively

If you choose to play yang you must learn several things.

1. Yangs mix up game 2. Reaction(this is very important) 3. Spacing 4. Playing it safe.

These are the keys to playing Yang and playing Yang well. Learning combos and learning strats are all apart of learning your character and your characters weaknesses and strengths. Frame data also helps alot with learning your character because you can learn what is safe and what isnt. Read up on how to read frame data in order to further study Yang or any other character that you wish to play and master.
