How To Do MIX-UPS with Yoshimitsu - Mix-Up Guide  

I swear the most beautiful thing in the tekken community is the teachers like you who help navigate this complicated/complex game thanks for your support

“This really fucks with the brain of ur opponent”….. my boy I’m so overloaded 😂 week 2 of yoshi and yea I needed this. Back to the lab. Ty🤞🏽

Don’t take down the video man, just leave a comment

These are really helping me out. It's hard to apply all of these tips right away but I keep coming back and slowly pieces are starting to stick for me, especially all of these tips about what moves can be back-cancelled and what moves can be altered to go to NSS. Big help - thanks dude! My only suggestion is, even though aesthetically I like the clean look with less HUD, I do personally prefer to have the inputs visible just so I can confirm what you're doing at certain points better while reviewing your videos.

Yeah bro your guides are legit. I usually skip through guides but found myself watching the entirety of your first t8 yoshi guide. Looking forward to watching this one right now

This is the first video I've seen and I liked this so much I gotta watch the main guide. I'm a more expirenced player but the way you explain things I can somehow listen to this all day.. you don't really leave things out which I appreciate. I have zero idea about this character so the extra things you mention and thoughts are really helpful.

You are killing it!! I already know I am going to watch this multiple times. As a new tekken player your videos recently have been extremely helpful.

this video is actually so godlike. adding setplay on top of great fundamentals makes yoshi extremely dangerous. thanks for making this

Literally watched your last video an hour ago and saw in the comments you were going to post this about the just frame 🙌🏻🙌🏻 thank you so much

Great stuff! I’m a new player and these guides have really helped make all this information digestible and waaaay less overwhelming. Thanks!

Thanks!! Been watching all your Yoshi videoes lately. Hope you keep on making more advanced tutorials on him as well. Unblockable setups, wall pressure, flash setups etc.

Definitely the type of content we need. Keep up the good work

just a tip about meditation into backturn d1, you can do meditation stance cancel by quickly inputting df1 when in meditation, usually for me it works by doing forward, downforward 2, within 2 frames. It's a bit of a difficult input , but if you get it you can do backturn moves straight out of meditation which can be really useful, another example would be doing f3 in meditation to get backturn 3, kinda like [3,4] timing but a bit faster. It's hard to explain but try it in lab. the fun thing about it is, even if you are in NSS, you can do df1+2 to do the sword version of backturned d1 even with no sword, its kinda weird but it works lol. just something advanced to keep labbing, i learned it from a long time yoshi main. its just called meditation stance cancels if you wanna look it up.

Huge respect for your work bro I was just about to drop Yoshi and switching main but the way you are explaining things is so good I can’t give up💯

This video has so much good information thank you man

Dude this was perfect thank you so much

Thanks dude, for just taking the time to teach all this cool stuff. I’m BRAND new to this game and you will aid in my path to being the best player than I can be.

Great guide ! 👍

New player here! Just wanted to thank for these indepth Yoshi guides. Very practical and overall super helpful.

Thank you so much for going over FF22 again! And man Ive been looking for mixups everyday for Yoshimitsu. This is awesome, keep it up!

Man this is my first tekken , and I Main yoshimitsu and I want to thank you , your guides are really helpful

Good job on the video man liked and subbed.

Thanks for the video man..I have a pocket yoshi and it helped

18:36 HELPFUL TIP: instead of pressing 3+4 to get out of meditation stance to do the d1 sweep… Try This: From meditation stance, input b, db1 (you have to be quick) This allows you to do the back turn sweep straight from meditation. I don’t have a video example but it works!!

Another guide WOOOOOO YEEEE BABY

Ayo great video idea see a lot of just beginner guides or just combo guides but idea of teaching your mix ups is great for when you finally start playing people who block and use safe strings

I'm learning yoshi, this guide helped me a ton, thanks

Nice slow pace good for just picking up the character great guide gonna sub

02:05 Thank you for answering to my comment in that video! My hero! 🙏🏽

bro i love you. I main lee (battle ruler) and im trying out yoshi cause he looks cool

Togethaaaaa!!! On a real note, since the videos are well received, break down the guide into more in depth videos on each section? Just a suggestion. Thanks for the guides

Good looking 🐐🔥

Keep it up bro

Almost gave up on yoshi but i'm sticking with it for another 1000H thanks man

really wish i had a yoshi coach, im comfortable with his whole move set, but just freeze in game and fall in a cycle of going for back 2,2

for his just frame move you can literally just mash the button and it also works. no timing needed

I have an extremely skilled way of doing ff2*2 perfectly each time... Just MASH LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW this 2. It's working wonders, not even kidding!

I appreciate it

Most underrated goat keep your vids going man i love your work and the way you explain things very clear thanks for making these banger video's i wish you the best and hopefully more amazing content 🔥

No leave the videos bro. There two good to take dwn

Dont redo the video. But thanks for asking and thank you for all these guides

Absolute banger video Anyone have any links to the discords in question? Always looking for more resources and tech

Just what I needed. My first tekken and I really wanted to learn yoshie. Just off first glance I can see he's kinda a gimmicky troll joke character but I really want to learn his moves well enough to play him optimally.

i give u abo andlike this mix up helps me a lot

You can actually go immediately into BT d+1 from MED with f~df+1 and b~db+1. This input is easier to learn if we think of it as f+1~df or b+1~db. Also if in NSS, Yoshi will use his sword if you do f~df+1+2 or b~df+1+2 either in MED or BT.

For the just frame attack, what helped me to figure out the input personally, was to split it into three parts: F into F+2 into F In other words, (on controller) I press once with my left thumb, once with both thumbs and finally once with right thumb, in quick succession. Hope this helps someone.

Don't delete the old video. Just do a pinned comment. That's more than enough. Rather put your energy into other videos. A suggestion if I may: How about a video where you showcase various Yoshi buttons and how they interact with each other. That's what I'm currently struggling with. For example Azucenas F32 knocks down on hit. and from there you can follow up with a DB1+2 and once you've done that, you can run in with a while-running 32 while they are waking up. So that's a sequence of events you can do and it's up to them to find a solution like side rolling or waking up with attacks to stop you running in. And I'm curious what Yoshimitsus mini flowchart gameplans are which beginners can rely on in the heat of the fight.

im practising yoshi too a lot and love him ^^ but if i get pressured hard it sucks xD

nice video! for next can u display your inputs to the left of the screen so one can follow?

I had a commenter point out a mistake on my Yoshimitsu guide and I just pinned the comment. That's way easier than uploading the video again. Plus your channel will take a massive hit and lose all those likes and views you've earned from that video. Keep up the solid work, Manji bro.

Babe wake up delusional lobo posted a new yoshi guide

2:47 Just Frame is NOT required and hasn't been since at least Tekken 7, aka you can just mash.

some notes i want to add: you can instant samurai cutter by doing FC b+1, no need to hold the df. after b1 or uf3+4,1 youre placed in the perfect range for a kara flash or NSS flash, iirc if the opponent is just neutral blocking they'll get hit by the flash. kara flash seems to still exist in tekken 8, input is 4:1 instead of 1+4. unfortunately unlike previous games, theres no indicator that you got it right or not. in previous games yoshimitsu would make a sound when you successfully kara flashed, but in tekken 8 he always makes a sound kara or not. a kara flash literally just makes your sword stance flash have NSS flash range, and gives your NSS flash extra range, useful in some combos. in previous games a kara flash would come out slower iirc, no sure how it works in tekken 8. maybe its a placebo? if anyone actually has solid proof of this claim and knows if im gaslighting myself or not, please let me know. poison mist is goated, legit feels so good in tekken 8, the range on it feels longer and the move feels faster somehow. being able to cancel the mist into a hop back with 3 or 4 is great, i found using df3 right after catches a lot of people. another thing I found works a lot is randomly using u1+2 and cancelling it every now and then, it makes the opponent look at it and go "wtf is he gonna do" or "i wanna punch him out of that stance for a free combo", if you use it well you can trick some players into pressing from afar giving you a free fly f1+2 or fly f2, or a normal whiff punish if you cancelled the stance, i feel like ff4 as a whiff punish here works the best as it adds to the next step of this mixup, you can also ff3 for the ch launch or just to get your kin mixup going etc. the thing is this motion or whatever just induces a reaction from the opponent, or lack there of. what i personally like doing is u1+2 d ff1+4 to end rounds after abusing this all match, a lot of people will SEE you doing a bunch of stuff and just freeze up, either they know you have a threat now after using the stance and cancelling it, or they DONT want to get hit by the ff4. another layer you can add is cancelling the fly into flea and basically using the same mixup you mentioned in this video. this videos sick, feel like i can add a few more tools to my bag, keep up the good work homie

I'm glad your knowledgeable i usually do the mix-up of sidestep right 1 and sidestep into crouch down forward 4 as they look very similar in animation if done properly. also at the wall kincho forward 2 then backdash into up back 1 plus 2 is a good wall pressure tool to use to catch them.

This is some serious gourmet shit

I don't want you to take the old vid down and re upload that won't be as good for you. But you could add annotations to the video without removing and re uploading I believe. That should make everyone happy I think

9:15 This is a weird rule in tekken and applies for all characters, where you input forwards to block instead of back when your back is towards the enemy. Which actually makes sense since you are facing the other direction

the timing on the FF2 just frame on a hitbox clone (B1) is so hard, all these other ppl here saying its easy are you all on controller? i can get it like 60% of the time mashing buttons as hard as I can lol. Defo helps to break it into hitting the ff 2 then pressing the 2 afterwards and experiment with the timing. Don't know if i''ll ever get it to a point where I can reliably pull off those combos tho

Id like to ask for tips on how to dash properly to be able to land those strings on the combo that require micro dash and dashing.

Though I'm late, I would concur not to take it down. Your guide is good but I'll admit I think there was too much info and it would've been great if it was organised better; I feel like I could've figured out portions of the video from just reading the move list+frame data in Practice. It sort of starts off great when you presented the neutral tools/key moves but then it kind of escalates quickly into a combo exhibition video; a beginner would probably have trouble remembering all of it and applying it properly. An honestly immaculate reference is Croft's "Ultimate Xiaoyu guide". As a Xiaoyu main, I love to review it every now and then to see what I'm forgetting in my kit(usually mix up options). Croft has also released smaller, separate supplementary videos.(e.g.HYP transition, wall combo, movement options)

Leave the video up and link this video in the description and a comment directing people to this video

TIP FOR FF2 JUST FRAME. Do FF212 slide input, not too fast or slow. Makes it super easy especially for controller players, such as myself.

20:52 I actually perfer doing ff3 (1+2) flash. Catches mids as well and gives you b22 (bit more damage)

If you need to make changes to a previous video, you can just annotate over certain sections. Its not the best fix, but its better then taking down a whole video.

Just make another video with no commentary watching the moves just refreshes your memory anyways

No need to delete the old video. Just put in the comments that you uploaded a more correct version and upload it again

Don't forget to add bad breathe to your list of mix ups. It's incredibly useful for throwing your opponents off guard and it's a guaranteed launcher if it lands.

Any tips on hitting that just frame combo ender? :D

YooUuuh!

demons souls music🔥

Don't take down the video, just leave a comment down there

Instead of removing that video, you could create a cut down version with the absolute basics. Punishment, neutral, combos, set up. Then for further detail you could link the original video.

You could just make a dedicated combo guide with any new combos you've created or discovered.

please make optimal punishment series for all the character, so you introduce their move and how yoshi counters it in most effective way?

Honestly about the beginning part when you said you would redo that certain part. My feedback is that you should put down the other video and put in the justframe part. Specifically for new people at a later time, it could help with all the info instead of putting on this video and learning about that. Def helps a lot when labbing tbh the whole guide would be complete. Either way good videos man glad you make these i went from brawler to warrior in about 30min because of your help. Yoshi is so fun

How do you guys do CD 2 please help! Its the unsheathe blade swipe that has ducking properties

+1 subscribe, content is top notch!, just watch the previous series as well

If you are in NSS, can you hit opponent with BT flash after ff+4?

9:00 d3 (or d4?) works too as a quick escape out of BT It's probably safer than db i don't have time to look up the frame data rn (i'm making a spreadsheet lol) I've been playing Yoshi since Tekken 3 Anyway WR 1,1 transitions into spinning evade with b3(3) or b4(4) you can use this to get out of door knocker which is probably really useful. I haven't tried it out yet, been busy recording / uploading replays (what a chore lol)

What did you use to editing and make this video

how about doing a full yoshimitsu tournament for fun?:p

You can mash the FF2 just frame the timing is really not that tight

These days, it’s hard for me to enjoy much else besides souls and fighters. I think they’ve desensitized me to other genres.

next time could you please show your inputs on screen and also keep the buttons for the moves on screen so its easier to practice

Subscribed because of the intro

uuu pretty lights 😂.. i hate june

Did they get rid of the forward forward, 2, 2

Just pin a comment for the other video and link to this correction section. You should not lose your engagement to correct some mistakes imo

btw does anybody know what's the purpose of Yoshi's "Soul Possession" grab?

What is CD 2?

Can you make video about hit priority. I dont really understand why some moves win out. I understand that id the move i use is still on startup they interrupt me but if both moves are active what decides the outcome.

FF 1+2 D1+4 yolo

4:50 How is "unless they jab" a mix-up? That's just unsafe. If they know about Yoshi they will jab every time they see you go into Helicopter, and since you're airborne they usually get a decent combo out of it.

What is CD?

What does cd mean?

Yea leave the other video, just link this to the other one.

You should really take off that intro. Could easily make a person get out of this important video.

Hey brother love your vids. Serious offer. If youd be willing to coach me in game for a bit id throw you some cash for your time :)

only commenting to say (with respect), your intro is a bit seizure inducing lol. I appreciate the guide nonetheless

Please, at least have your move history showing. thx.
