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

Yoshimitsu is one of the Tekken fighters of all time.

Strengths

Unique Punishment. Yoshimitsu can launch punish or interrupt a collection of usually-safe moves using Flash, Spinning Evade or Kincho parry.
Special Movement. Meditation backdash cancel and Spinning Evade are unusually evasive.
Irritating Keepout. Meditation stance cancel, long-range mids with pushback, and high-crushing moves make it difficult for opponents to just dash in.
Turn-Stealing. Flash, NSS Flash and Kincho parry can counter most disadvantageous situations.
Power Up. Some of his moves are boosted when in No Sword Stance, dealing greater damage and healing him.

Weaknesses

Unique Punishment. Yoshimitsu requires in-depth match-up knowledge to use tools like Flash, Spinning Evade and Kincho parry to effect.
Poor Fundamentals. Most pokes either end his turn on block, or don't give enough advantage on hit. No knockdown on his WS punishment. Missing a Down Jab in 1SS, but he gains one in NSS although it's 1 frame slower than a generic one.
Weak Backdash. Single backdash distance is poor.
