Yoshimitsu Beginner Guide pt 1 Pokes, Punishment and Gameplan - Tekken 8

EDIT: F3+4 IS NOT A POWER CRUSH ANYMORE! My mistake!
Part 1 of my Tekken 8 Yoshimitsu guide. It's my first Tekken character guide, so please, go easy on me 😅 There is solid, foundational knowledge in here for every aspiring Yoshimitsu player. Flash and Stance guides are on the way! Yoshimitsu has a lot of room for expression and interpretation, so please view this guide as a supplement to other great Yoshimitsu guides that are on here.

F 3+4 isn't a powercrush in t8 sadly.

[@FujinFoxTK]

Whoa, what?! I hadn't even realized! Thank you for the correction!

[@TheZombieDiesel]

@@FujinFoxTK I miss it ☹️

[@FujinFoxTK]

Man fr. I've been asking myself why I don't really throw it out much these days compared to T7. I'm realizing now that it was probably getting stuffed to hell because I was using it thinking it still had armor!

[@TheZombieDiesel]

@@FujinFoxTK keep up the videos. I have been playing yoshi for years, but I still watch these from time to time.

[@FujinFoxTK]

Man, thank you.

[@gingercoleslaw615]

This is the most chill fighting game guide I’ve ever seen.

[@ajbrannon341]

Made it from cavalry to ganryu in one day based off this video. This explained his basics extremely well. Along with the flash video

[@FujinFoxTK]

YO LET'S GOOO!

[@TahsheekHill]

Love the video I always wanted to play yoshi in tekken but he just seemed to complicated but with this video the basics are just spot on looking forward to using him now .

[@taylormcphun8166]

Great guide, thank you so much for this! Can't wait for the next.

[@FujinFoxTK]

Glad it was helpful!

[@83schizo]

thank you so much bro i’ve been climbing and annoying the hell out of my friends you’re the goat 🙏🙏🙏

[@FujinFoxTK]

🤣 LET'S GOOOO!

[@jerseyscum9126]

Thank you for this, keep up the good work. Its awesome that you included the gameplan as well

[@FujinFoxTK]

🙏🙏🙏

[@tkZombie_]

amazing guide. got a new page of notes now, this needs more views. ty so much

[@FujinFoxTK]

🙏🙏🙏

[@AverySwanson]

Very helpful guide! I feel like a lot of guides just overload you with moves and move so quickly. I really appreciate that you take your time with each move, and describe how each one can slot into yoshimitsu’s game plan.

[@FujinFoxTK]

Finally someone that appreciates my slow ass! 😂 Thank you man I'm glad I could help some and break things down simply. I know EXACTLY the types of guides you're talking about lol

[@Darkinobi]

Absolutely love this guide dude, exactly what I was looking for, ways to open people up and knowing whats safe!

[@FujinFoxTK]

My man! 👹

[@regibyte]

Thanks a lot for the video! It was amazing to see how many options there is on neutral game for yoshi

[@FujinFoxTK]

🙏🙏🙏

[@razzledazzle9971]

No joke, best guide on youtube. I thought i had the basics down until i saw this, hipefull i can break the rank plateau with this

[@FujinFoxTK]

Man, this means so much to me. I'll be finding the time to get my stance guides out asap. Life is busy as a family man haha. Thank you, again. 🤝

[@Rakuzou]

In a way, this actually helps me sleep. Thank you so much!

[@FujinFoxTK]

Sweet dreams, my beautiful, murderous ninja.

[@dvilstrider]

Great video , helped alot for a beginner like me ... Hoping you upload more stuff on Yoshimitsu 😊

[@FujinFoxTK]

Keep an eye on the channel! 🙏👹

[@Lyudo]

This alone gave me a reason to sub. I didnt know certain moves could lead into kinsho. Super good information you provided

[@FujinFoxTK]

Welcome to the channel! I'm glad I could help!

[@torinkemp47]

Preciate the guide. Earned a sub and likes on multiple vids. Hope your channel blows up!!

[@FujinFoxTK]

Dude, thank you! 🤝

[@AshLeeTheCat]

The best beginner video I've seen for any fighting game, really looking forward to future vids

[@FujinFoxTK]

I can't express how much this means to me. Thank you 🙏

[@Vesperele]

agreed, actually got me subscribing to a fighting game channel haha so ready for the stance vid!

[@BlackHole_hazard]

Its realy cool how your video is at the same time relaxing and informative keep up the good work King

[@FujinFoxTK]

Ty bro! 🙏🫡

[@easymoney999]

Just subscribed. First time playing Tekken and Yoshimitsu is going to be my main main. I'm going to need all the help I can get!

[@FujinFoxTK]

Welcome!

[@gabrielhill4460]

I know im late to the party but thank you! This guide is so comprehensive and i was able to follow it all. Looking forward to watching part 2 later!

[@FujinFoxTK]

Hoping to have to stance guide up by monday!

[@gabrielhill4460]

@@FujinFoxTK I hope so too but if not take as much time as ya need to get it ready. Cant wait to see the wacky things yoshi can do with stances❤️

[@chasekite1]

bro thank you so much for this. so many other guides just throw out the combos and good buttons but never mention followups and punishes. for a first guide this is great

[@chasekite1]

Also for a 14f punish cant you get the b2,1 launcher as well?

[@FujinFoxTK]

Thank you! 🙏

[@FujinFoxTK]

No, unfortunately, b2,1 is only a natural combo on counter hit or if you hit an opponent from behind. That being said, don't forget you can turn b2,2 into a launcher during heat by holding forward.

[@Crazyfayze]

Looking forward to the next one

[@FujinFoxTK]

Hopefully very soon, thank you!

[@joelmyers427]

Awesome guide! I want to mention on db3...WS4 you can put the sword away by holding back, and if f3+4 connects you can continue the combo with flea1+2

[@FujinFoxTK]

Bro ty! I'll add these to their respective guides in the near future 🙏

[@SirCamel_]

Most useful yoshi guide by far

[@FujinFoxTK]

Man thank you!

Good stuff bro

[@FujinFoxTK]

Thank you 🙏

[@FujinFoxTK]

Like and stuff!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Onewolf101]

Good guide, next time you make a lengthy one tho you should definitely add timestamps for sections so we can comeback and look at whay we need 🙏🏾

[@FujinFoxTK]

Time stamps are in the description 😉 thanks for stopping by!

[@arturolinqui7604]

Watch at 1.25 speed. You're welcome. awesome guide though!

[@FujinFoxTK]

Nah man, you gotta let it marinate lol

[@EldritchMephi]

Just got finished watching this guide, gonna take some of the advice here to be even more annoying! I got to Shinryu yesterday and hope to hit flame ruler with the help of some of the veteran yoshis out there

[@FujinFoxTK]

Man, that makes me so happy to hear! 🙏

[@jordansebert11]

Dude I found something seriously secret I think, on yoshis while standing 1 2 back/down 2 2 2 it combos but the first spin hits second spin whiffs the third spin hits for a total of 44 damage punish without launcher guys. Really weird, btw dont delay the spins try to get them to come out asap after 1 2

[@FujinFoxTK]

Bro, nice! I will try and remember to recreate this in practice after work. 🙏🙏🙏

[@Yvesnation771]

Now i need a ps5

[@FujinFoxTK]

Yes!

[@lznoswt]

this at 1.5x is incredible, thank you so much! still waiting on the stance guide my friend

[@FujinFoxTK]

Haha sorry for being slow

[@hsiangyuchen4198]

For the sample combo I cant seem to land the final 1+2 after the dash 3, 2. Tried to mash dash after the d2,2,2 but the final 1+2 still whiffs.

[@FujinFoxTK]

So, what's happening is that you're probably not going into NSS mid combo. After you launch, follow up with d22 HOLD BACK(NSS), d222, dash 3,2,1+2. 1+2 will hit ONLY with the added range of NSS.

[@hsiangyuchen4198]

Thanks! That worked perfectly. Love your explaining these buttons to use in neutral. Will check out your next vid explaining the stances. @@FujinFoxTK

[@FujinFoxTK]

Should be uploaded today or tomorrow. Currently recovering from Norovirus with my family 😭

[@eggcellentegg2817]

I have a question, I’ve only seen tekken 7 and notice there were set ups like that unblockable sword spin and other things like that. Now I see that they are completely absent even king set ups. So are they just non existent in tekken 8?

[@FujinFoxTK]

No, they definitely are still happening in T8. You can use unblockables out of heat dash for one. If you mean the full crouch sword sweep on oki at the wall though, it kind of feels like higher level players are looking for consistency there? It's hard to say. I feel like I saw it more too. Today I saw someone do, iirc, b1 f1+2 after wallsplat into sword sweep. I'm pretty sure it was f1+2. And I've seen Kane and EM use similar setups, albeit not as frequently. Anyways, I'm sure with all the new changes people just need time to find the optimal stuff. Figuring all that out is above my pay-grade lol

[@corereject5796]

im in purple ranks and i did not know all of this ff3 into kin foward 2 being uninteruptable to be precise and some minor things

[@FujinFoxTK]

Happy to help!

[@yegorm6748]

watching the whole video at 1.25 and it sounds like it should sound)))))

[@FujinFoxTK]

🐢

[@Tookieslam]

24:42 I’ve had Jin interrupt the transition

[@FujinFoxTK]

Hey, thanks for the info! I'm interested in testing this, as in T7, it was airtight. Did you trade with the Jin, or was it a clean interrupt?

[@z1u512]

Timestamps would be helpful for long guides like these

[@FujinFoxTK]

Great idea! I'll add them as soon as possible!

[@FujinFoxTK]

Stamped! 👌🤝

[@basil1596]

I kinda wanna play yosi but he looks so hard for a beginner, whatchu think?

[@FujinFoxTK]

I think you should just dive in. I started taking Tekken seriously in 7, and I felt the same way about Yoshimitsu and Kazuya. I avoided playing those characters for like 2 years because I kept telling myself that they were too hard or I didn't understand the game well enough. Man, forget all that. Don't think this way. That's years of practice I missed out on because of a lack of confidence. The time is going to pass regardless, so you might as well play the character you want to be playing. I promise you that when you lose match after match after match, you'll have more fun with a character you love. You wanna be a yoshi main? Be a yoshi main.

[@basil1596]

@@FujinFoxTK great response ty!! I rlly wanna start w yoshi im just scared ill forget wat ive learned w shaheen. I started w t8 and am mighty so far. I see my friends trying a bunch of ppl but cuz of that they barely make meaningful progress cuz they keep switching. That being said i guess a good balance is key. Ill set a goal to hit fujin w shaheen then try out yoshi!!

[@FujinFoxTK]

I think you have the right mindset. I promise you, though, you won't forget your Shaheen stuff if you got him to Mighty Ruler. That being said, yoshi needs to time behind the wheel to shine. Shaheen is sick btw, I enjoy him as well.

[@basil1596]

@@FujinFoxTK Yeah im absolutely loving shaheen too. But I gotta play so clean to win. Sometimes i wanna just goof around haha. I dont mind putting time into yoshi. I'm getting abit frustrated with the shaheen climb so might be a good time to try someone new. I was gonna take him to fujin first but im getting hit w match up knowledge checks. Anyways thx a bunch!! ill be re watchign this multiple times

[@Ro-fw3lc]

Does this account for the recent flash nerf?

[@FujinFoxTK]

This was made before the nerf, but these still apply. Check the channel.

[@Ro-fw3lc]

@FujinFoxTK well that's good,I saw a lot of guides/combo vids that used flash and I was like wow,these all became outdated real fast lol

[@rodrigoaraujo7323]

Forward 3+4 is no more a powercrush, unfortunately

[@FujinFoxTK]

Thank you, added to the description. Still can't believe I missed that.

[@77_ACE.]

So basically the game is just random, got it

[@FujinFoxTK]

How did anything in this equate to "random"?

[@eli-onjuice8942]

Sounds like u mad u got touched by yoshi 😂

[@iiCRANKx]

If you watch on 1.25 he talks at regular speed

[@FujinFoxTK]

Lmao

[@Vic969]

dude, some enthusiasm please. I'm trying to learn yoshi, not fall asleep. try to put some energy in your speech. tons of useful stuff in this video - I learned a lot, but I had to fight myself to not close my eyes.

[@FujinFoxTK]

Sorry bro I film at night trying not to wake 3 sleeping children. All the rest of the guides are going to sound like that too 🤷‍♂️ good luck

[@Vic969]

not tryna hate, but I also watched this at 1 am and it was hard LOL. anyways, good stuff. @@FujinFoxTK

[@isaactaylor7887]

You talked nearly five mins instead of just getting to it..

[@FujinFoxTK]

Looks like you found your way through it just fine.

[@basil1596]

@@FujinFoxTKdon’t listen to em lol. You legit have a great overview of why someone would wanna play yoshi. Would you say he’s okay for beginners tho?
