I love Yoshimitsu but something is off about him in T8 that doesn't make him enjoyable for me. I used to always enjoy clips or tournament plays with him but now it's not nearly as interesting. And also seeing how many toxic so called Yoshimitsu players just picked him in T8 hurts so I'm really waiting for chunky nerfs for him to pick him again. Funny addition about Flash or Soul Stealer I think it was the best in Tekken 4 when it actually was true to its name. Imo it's way more interesting to actually steal moves from other characters and implement them in Yoshimitsu combos rather than stealing rounds.

I believe other than the reasons mentioned there is one more thing that factors into Yoshi's popularity, especially in High level T8: Yoshi is the only character that has the defensive tools to consistently deal with the otherworldly offensive pressure that every Character possesses in this game. He can severely punish people who are playing predictably. It's T8's biggest problem imo opinion. And Yoshi negates that.

That's the actual problem. The game rewards aggression not defense, unless you're playing one of the defensive characters. There's basically only 4, and Yoshimitsu forces everyone to slow down or mix timing including other Yoshimitsu players. Most of the other stuff people hate is very good and mostly same as it was last game, adjusted for t8 or even nerfed.

Reasons why yoshi in this game is broken 1. Flash: yoshi is the only character in the game who can completely change your fifty/fifty mixup potential (A game where almost all the characters are stance fifty/fifty casino playstyle based). When i play against a yoshi (i play bryan btw) and i land a heat engager i can't take my free fifty/fifty instead i will need to wait and bait out the flash on a timing mixup instead. 2. Spinny sidestep: his spinny sidestep that he can do by pressing either b3 or b4 is unbelievable amounts of broken. This allows him to side step even some of the homing moves in the game.(A game where sidestepping is buffed and yoshi is the only character that can completely side step your mixups and whiff punish you for it instantly). 3. Mixup, range and oki potential: ok just the two reasons given above does not make yoshi broken but add those two reasons and give yoshi his own stupid mix ups and congrats you have a disaster. Yoshi has unblockable mixups, stance mixups, mid oki guard break, mix up in his strings that give more mixups after a stance transition(i.e if you guess right by the way), hit confirmable heat engagers, mid crushing stance(talking about flea stance), an unblockable high that is really hard to punish if you duck it(talking about his bad breath), he can heal himself which forces you to rush into him and not give him space, he has unbelievable range because of his sword, can waste time by literally flying into the air and if you try and catch him landing then beware because he comes while using a unblockable sword hit, really good pick up potential with d22( his sword low pick up i mean), a jumping low which he can cancel and so much more that if i tried to type it out it will be hours and this comment is already long enough

1. If you're getting flashed at +17, you're being far too greedy with what you're trying to follow up with. In fact, I'm curious, what exactly is your go-to '50/50' after a heat engager with Bryan? 2. Evasive spin does not evade homing moves. Period. If the homing move in question did whiff while he was doing it, then it wasn't in range in the first place. This has been the case since homing moves were first introduced in T6. Constructive criticism: don't preface your argument with barefaced falsehoods.

@@strykah92 alright here we go 1. I am using qcb1,qcb3 and qcb4 for the mix ups(for context qcb1 which I use the most comes at 13 frames) that +17 when you land a heat engager is not +17 the running animation takes up some of the frames from that +17 that's why qcb1 which comes at 13 frames can get flashed and sometimes if i delay the move ever so slightly then even my neutral 4 which comes out 12 frames can get flashed at that +17. 2. The evasive spin move has infact made my homing moves whiff on multiple occasions even when I am right next to the Yoshi and it's not just me many youtubers I have seen have complained about the spinning move making the homing move whiff if the Yoshi holds the spin move for long. (Moves in question that are whiffing are bryan's 1+2,df4, jin's 4, hell i was playing heihachi literally today against my friend who plays Yoshi and he literally made heihachi's b3 whiff with the a really small spinny move and whiff punished me immediately. So i don't know whose homing moves have been hitting your Yoshi but you are clearly doing something wrong there with either the timing or just straight up direction of the spinning move. Now take this constructive criticism that i have shown with my experience and respect it before you start thinking about saying stuff like barefaced falsehoods in my criticism

Yoshi main since T4. I fell in love with this character first time i saw his visual design. I immediately thought that he's the most badass game character I've ever seen. That's why i started maining him. All of these years OG Yoshi mains were just enjoying the character they play and nothing more. And now when Yoshi became stronger - (FIRST TIME in 30 years) whole Tekken community now just destroying us with endless hate. People just forgot about tons of nerfs on the release when Yoshi's sword stance flash and his health recovery were nerfed. Why no one called him S tier before that? What happened now? Yes Yoshi is strong, and i really think he needs some damage nerfs, but also i think that people overcomplaining too much.

So I am a Yoshi/DvJ main... have mained Yoshi since tekken 7s release. I will not downplay how good Yoshi is now but I want to offer one tidbit of info that will tremendously help you against him. Get good at sidestepping. If you are a bear... well sorry. Almost all of Yoshis moveset have awful tracking as well as their follow ups in the strings. I know sidestepping is scary to learn especially in ranked and very tough/annoying to lab. But if you have anyone that plays Yoshi decently, play them in some friendlies and experiment. You may be surprised how much you can limit his moveset with movement. Again to any angrybois, i am ij no way trying to imply he isnt strong af, just offering 1 major weakness he actually does have. On top of earning you big punishes when you sidestep him, you will also get in the Yoshis head once they realize "omg i cant flow chart this guy anymore bc he wont stop sidestepping!" A lot of yoshis are already overloaded thinking about all their options for a situation and when you erase 80% of his neutral tools they will likely be mentally "stunlocked" wondering what they can even do about it. This is something that hit me hard after getting to around tekken king when i started facing people with solid movement. Extra info: in general, randonly sidestepping characters or flowcharting sidesteps will get you caught too much and you will lose matches, but against Yoshi... agaij you may be surprised how effective yolostepping is.

He was stupid broken good in Tekken 3. Even T8 Yoshimitsu has nothing on his T3 iteration. It's misleading to label Flash as a parry, it's a regular move with a (tiny) hitbox. Something else which needs mentioning is that in T8 he only regains grey health in Indian and Meditation stances as opposed to regular health, meaning you have less incentive to chase him, which is what he wants. He's still Yoshimitsu, but they buffed his damage and reduced his ability to heal, essentially changing how the character works.

I have always found it funny that people say Yoshi is broken in this game. He is definitely strong, however, most of his stuff is only "broken" because of how Tekken 8 is designed (despite the fact that he was never strong, is his first time lol). Flash was always "broken" in book, but very manageable in past games like Tekken 7 due to the pace of the game, but in this game, everything is just so overly fast/plus and aggressive that players in my Tekken Emperor matches are just constantly pressing attack buttons and getting flashed cuz they're used with the "plus frame hit after plus frame hit and it is still my turn to act" braindead way of playing Tekken 8. I have genuinely beaten players by just interfering with their non-ending plus frame "combos" with Flash. Tekken has an insane amount of characters, each having more than 100 moves or so, and Yoshi has about 180+ not counting secret moves. He is a complete gimmick character, designed for you to learn how to play against HIM, not Tekken, that's how it always has been. So Being irritated by a gimmick character having a game-changing gimmick is understandable, however, STILL calling those moves like spin evade, unlockables, or Flash broken is just coping. I've been playing Yoshi since T5, he was never a "good" character, just a fun one. Calling him overpowered now that he is strong and some players can't deal with having to stop aimlessly pressing buttons is a skill issue. Learn the matchup, or keep losing. Yoshi may be nerfed 100 times from now on, but in the end, you'll still get hit Flash because you were mashing, and eventually by double seppuku to lose the match.

@KyeCreates the issue is that Tekken 8 rewards aggressive playstyle way too heavily. As a fighting player you should've NEVER be rewarded THAT much with literally just inputing plus frame attacks or mashing. So when a character like Yoshi (who always had everything you're saying, every combination in every other game) exists, he changes the gamestyle. Suddenly you can't just mash buttons and plus frame to victory. That's not being broken or OP, that's just being defensive/gimmicky over aggressive. Yoshi is not broken, T8 is just fundamentally too aggressive and players can't deal with a character like Yoshi. Again, is a matchup issue.

@@Nick-ug6is I am a long time Tekken player, and I play pretty slowly against yoshimitsu. The issue is that one mess up in t8 is enough to leave you close to death, on top of the fact that he has a unb mid now that can launch so playing slower is not as easy as you think, especially at Tekken emperor where you don't see him as much but when you do, there's a huge chance they know how to cover up the small weaknesses of Yoshi making it even more complex than needed. Hence why Xiaoyus weak damage concept should be applied because of the mental stack you can do.

Solid video, very good stuff 👌 As a yoshi enjoyer for 19years,I'll say that the biggest strength of Yoshi is how fun he is. His playstyle has always been charismatic in a way, forever extremely joyous and addictive. Whether he's doodoo, mid or strong, he's always a bliss to play as and against. There hasn't been a Tekken game where he wasn't my most used char, and probably never will. Buffed or nerfed, he'll always be top tier in my eyes, whether it's Tekken5 or TekkenTag5. There were a handful chars I did not enjoy in T6, in Tag2, in T7 or T8, and usually different in each game, but Yoshi has consistently been fun as af.

Bryan does more DMG than yoshi and can do more DMG easier than him without a wall.. people overstate how much damage he does. Yoshis redesign was needed and it made him a more fun character because his stances were incomplete in T7. That’s why he was so bad and his damage was also bad too. You also had to rely on flash too much in T7. Now, we actually have options. Yoshis unblockables are slow.. especially the sweep and his sweep doesn’t lead to a full combo. It’s like a mini combo, but it’s still good. The fact that more people use him just shows how much fun he is. Seeing people play a characters a good thing because now people are playing the game. And all his stances have weakness. Indian stance is probably his worse stance because it’s insaneelyyyyy slow

We gotta remember that almost every single person commenting is lower than tekken king ranks. Aka they don't know matchups, how to move/sidestep, and rely on their opponents being locked in place while they do their same pressure/mixups that they do everytime. Yoshi is frustrating to them bc he breaks the rules and they cant mindlessly press just bc they are a tiny bit plus. I am not claiming Yoshi isn't super strong, but he has some weaknesses but they will never know. They will be mad. Anyone that wants to win more against Yoshi, literally just start sidestepping either direction anytime you are -4 to +4 and you will whiff punish him almost everytime. His moves are crazy strong but super linear. He legit has like 3 tracking moves in neutral, none of which lead to combos. Anyone thinking I am downplaying... no I am not, he is strong af in this game, but I am offering you a bit of advice that I know will help you. YOLOSTEP yoshis until they prove to you that they are accounting for it. By the time you make them respect your movement you will see their playstyle become very passive.

The unblockable low in particular is tricky. Its not just beginners and intermmediates eating that, even highlevel and pro players get hit. Dont worry, its not yur reaction time being bad/low block instincts just overwriting all the time The reason is because of its speed in relation to how fast you can avoid it. You can react to Yoshi doing the move from crouch, but if yur reacting to the move itself, you WILL get hit. The common way to defend against it is low crushing, the issue is that low crush is usually at the 8th frame from doing a hopkick and stuff, so if yur reacting to the purple spark, its basically a 19f low. TLDR, its a move you react to with Yoshi going into crouch rather than the spark, which is why Yoshi has the chance to do a 50/50 here, because reacting to the purple spakr itself will be difficult

Yeah, one of the reasons why yoshi is good in this game, is because tekken 8 feels like one big mash-fest to me. He can just flash you in the face. Otherwise, I never really had a problem playing against him, maybe because I play him myself. But yoshi just feels like the only character in this game with no BS hit boxes exept for that Pogo sword stance :D

The one thing i want to mention, and i hope that it won't be seen as downplaying, is that his combos need a bit of work and optimisation. Sure he has high damage, but in order to utilise his full potential, you have to learn every damn combo route and there are plenty of them, depending on :what stance you have (sword or no sword), in what stage are you playing (how far do you need to extend your wall carry), are there any wall or floor breaks, which combo ender won't whiff near the wall, are you going to go in with heat dash, etc. He has many different optimal combo routes and as a Yoshi main myself ( currently Raijin), i still find it difficult sometimes to pick the right route and that often costs matches.His easy combos wont go higher that 65-75 dmg, while other characters have higher combo damage,with less routes, easier execution and more input windows.Overall , it's sad that the community cries about him , considering that this character receives the love and the spotlight he deserves. He didn't have that for many years and that's unfair.

Saying you have to know the routes to get damage with a char that has 4 stances is a down play.... in fighting games they make some chars harder (doesn't always end up that way) because some people like playing chars that are hard and just because they are hard doesn't mean they should be broken (not saying yoshi "broken" but he needs some taps for sure)

i really wanted to pick up yoshi when i started with tekken 8. I love these shitty joke characters, so I was both surprised and a little disappointed when he turned out to be arguably top 5. Like, he has all of the goofy shit, but he also just has some of the best tools in the game so he stops being a goofy joke character and just becomes annoying

I don't remember if Yoshi was top tier before T8. I've heard that he used to be quite good in T3 and Tag1, but not as good as Jin or Ogre. Then he was ok in T4, Tag2 and T7, mid in T5 and T5DR, and bottom 5 in T6. I dunno if it's better to nerf his damage and buff his healing or it's the other way - dude could heal himself up to max hp in previous games if Yoshi main knew what they were doing.

I've been playing Yoshi since Tekken 7 and I can agree with a lot of people on one big thing in Tekken 8, he does do too much damage. I think if he did less than he does now, then people wouldn't be too angry about him. However stuff like spin and flash I don't have an issue with because they are strong defensive tools in an insanely aggressive game which makes them seem busted af. He's an amazing character now and I think they should just rebalance his damage, even if they nuke it to T7 Yoshi damage, it'd be okay because his frames aren't the best, his pokes are average, but his set ups and mindgames are insane

(I think) every character can do some variation of this against the wall. Back, Up/back back - Although I think some characters attack as part of it, rather than just hop over them (like king for example). Edit: unless you meant the back handspring, then I think that’s almost a female exclusive move.
@Maymaysmaymays

Back, up back for the backflip. All characters have a wall specific ability by pressing back, back, up back. Yoshimitsu’s wall move is one of the better ones because it can reposition him with the opponent towards the wall. Besides Yoshi, I know that Lei had the same ability in the previous game.

V1.08 just nerfed the spin. Double self damage. Still can evade stuff that nothing else can when used skillfully. In my opinion they could have added a few extra recovery frames to flash too to make it easier to launch punish when whiffed. They did the same for Leroy’s b1+2 back in the day. Flash is fair if misuse (spam) gets punished hard. It should be a hard read tool. Yoshi will get even more popular now that Drag and Nina got nerfed. And Drag and Alisa are getting more nerfs waiting in 1.09. Spin nerf isn’t likely going to be enough as everybody above him will be nerfed.

The true secret about Yoshimitsu is that he isn't even that hard to figure out to play. His moves are all very distinctive (unlike Hwoarang or Steve that just have 5000 kicks and punches that look the same), you aren't forced into stance on most of his moves like a lot of other characters and his baby combos do decent damage with bonus healing.
