This page is for Tekken 8. For Tekken 7, see Yoshimitsu (Tekken 7).

Yoshimitsu is an extremely unorthodox, stance-based keepout character. His moves are just plain weird - a permanent stance with a hitbox around his butt, a highly evasive spin that hurts him, an i8 parry/attack that can punish moves that would ordinarily be safe, and the ability to commit seppuku. His movelist is a double edged sword - confusing and unintuitive for the straight-laced, and an infinite color palette for the clinically insane.

Yoshimitsu's tools allow him to dictate the pace of the match at will. His Flash (1+4) acts as an i8 parry/attack that allows him to punish overt aggression, making it difficult to pressure him. A cautious opponent is open to being launched with his unblockable low sword sweep, or mixed up with his myriad stance options. Aggressive approach can be further stuffed with his evasive side spin or strong keepout options. Plenty of Yoshimitsu's tools allow him to toy with his opponent to setup unique or weird situations, forcing the opponent to constantly respond to whatever he's doing.

Yoshimitsu's is difficult to play straightforwardly due to his poor generics, lows and punishment, necessitating leaning into his unconventional tools. They can be difficult to take advantage of effectively, requiring in-depth match-up knowledge and situational awareness.

Strengths
  • Unique Punishment. Yoshimitsu can launch punish or interrupt a collection of usually-safe moves using Flash, Spinning Evade or Kincho parry. Flash is so fast that it can even punish some strings that are safe on block or interrupt them outright.
  • Special Movement. Meditation backdash cancel and Spinning Evade are unusually evasive. Many of Yoshi's attacks also manuver him about the screen, making it difficult to keep track of him.
  • Strong Combos & Okizeme. Yoshimitsu has both above-average combo damage & wall carry, as well as some of the strongest wall okizeme situations in the game.
  • Irritating Keepout. Meditation stance cancel, long-range mids with pushback, and high-crushing moves make it difficult for opponents to just dash in.
  • Stance Barrage: Yoshi's stances give him strong combo or mixup opportunities and are very easy to get into with normal strings. Special note goes to NSS, which results powered up attacks that heal him.
  • Just Plain Weird: Yoshimitu's toolkit is so unconventional that it becomes a huge boon if mastered. Even the most dedicated of opponents can be confused by his wide range of strange stances and strong defensive tools.
  • Legacy Character. Having appeared in every mainline game, his movelist has become massive, allowing for greater player expression and experimentation.
  • Can commit seppuku.
Weaknesses
  • Unique Punishment. Yoshimitsu requires in-depth match-up knowledge to use tools like Flash, Spinning Evade and Kincho parry to effect.
  • Risky Panic Moves. Flash and Spinning Evade are both launch punishable if baited properly. As Yoshimitsu, you must understand when and where people will try to bait your panic tools.
