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. 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Poor Fundamentals. Most pokes either end his turn on block, or don't give enough advantage on hit. No knockdown on his WS punishment. No Down Jab in 1SS.
  • Weak Backdash. Single backdash distance is poor.
  • Can commit seppuku.
