Tekken 8 — Characters

Yoshimitsu – Frame Data

Yoshimitsu is a wildcard who trades solid neutral for an arsenal of panic tools, keepout, and setups. He dictates the pace by making you respect his spins, flash, and long-range pokes, then drags you into his own chaotic style of Tekken.

Fighter Profile

Trickster Expert

Offense

Defense

Execution

Weak to: Step Left

Overview

Flash, evasion and unblockable setups; risky defensive reads and complex tools demand study.

Heat System

His heat smash is massive damage with a wallbreak and huge range, while "f+1+2" becomes the longest-reaching launcher in the game with amazing tracking. "3,1" in heat also turns into an extremely fast whiff punisher that launches.

Strengths

Manji Spins and Flash: panic tools that are better than every other character'sLong-reaching keepout: consistent keepout tools that make this a reliable game planConfusing okizeme: endlessly confusing and better than every other character'sImproved stances in T8: real 50/50s and plus frames, much better than in older games

Game Plan

Play keepout first: use your long reach and panic tools to control space and make the opponent scared to approach.Mix between high-damage launchers and gimmicks, but don't stay gimmicky too long or you'll get punished.Use stances to create real 50/50s, but be careful: without stances you don't have a strong mixup game.Watch your sidestep weakness — opponents can step to your right, so keep that in mind when committing.Don't try to out-neutral turtles: force them into your keepout or stance pressure instead.

Stances

Dragonfly (DGF) — enter: Manually with "u+1+2" or by holding up after certain moves. — Good for pressure after Heat smash, "3,1", "f,f,f+3" and "3~4".Indian (IND) — enter: Manually with "d+3+4" or by pressing "d+3+4" after certain moves. — "IND 3+4" is a fast homing move and extremely good. Use it to confuse opponents, entering off "db+3,3" or "FC df+4".No Sword Stance (NSS) — enter: Manually with "b+1+2" or by holding back after certain moves. — Switches up your movelist, including your punishers.Kincho (KIN) — enter: Manually with "1+2" or by holding "1+2" after certain moves. — Good for pressure, but a little slow. Best used after "f,f+3" or in okizeme situations.Flea (FLE) — enter: Manually with "d+1+2". — Best entered via "KIN f+1+2" on block or "uf+1,1" on hit.
