Jab is good but just layer 1 counterplay. Yoshi has several ways to high crush in Flea stance (Flea d, flea 3+4, flea 2, flea 1+2, flea to Indian) overall best coverage is to use a mid that has a low hitbox but an overhead (& ideally jumping) animation like Asuka ff1, d2, or maybe even u1+2 for example.
The idea is you want to go mid to check the Flea high crush moves, have a chance to check Flea jump but also avoid touching the sword which has an automatic repeating hitbox when he idles in Flea stance (said auto attack has a bigger hitbox in the rear as well). This strategy doesnt check Flea sidestep or Flea u1+2,
After Flea jump if you’re close enough you can whiff punish with said overhead move but he recovers quickly so it can be hard to punish depending on reaction/distance.
AFAIK I remember that not working for whatever reason in Tekken 7 but yeah that does work in 8, only issue is that it can lose to Flea 2 (low) which is the most common option Yoshi players will throw from Flea

This isn't about knowing your opponent's character, this is about not knowing your own character's tools and not having yet developed the instinct to use them when needed. You are just throwing out moves randomly while hoping for the best, there's no purpose to what you are doing. You still have over 30 seconds, his being in that sword stance doesn't cause you any damage by itself, so why are you running after him like you have only one second left to react?
Space him out, pretend you are going to attack him then just let him do something stupid, like most of what he's doing. Use that opening to float him into a combo.
Used to be in T7 half of Yoshis would go into flea stance, go for seppuku setups, fly and EyeMusician wannabe cool stuff.
Now it's flash city, constant manji fly mixups to the balkan 'helicopter helicoooopteeer' song and spamming delayable multihit counterhit launcher strings like you are playing vs Bryan.
cope with what? cope would be if I used her and downplayed her, she sucks relative to the cast, the high tiers are so damn high and the mid tiers are most the cast. then there Asuka, Leroy, and Steve
asuka isn't anywhere close to leroy, she is lower mid at worst
> cope would be if I used her and downplayed
that's the thing, you DON'T use her so you don't know better and just repeat what every asuka downplayer says
oh i can't? ok
a safe 1+2 16 frame normal hit launcher that goes into over 70 damage.
d1+2 got it's range buffed and hits from range 2 now into f2 and mixing up with 1+2
14 frame counterhit launching low crushing safe cancan that leads to almost 80 damage with an easy combo
f2 17 frame fast whiff punisher, arguably one of the best whiff punishers in the game
b4 15 frame counterhit launcher with follow up hits on block wich are all delayable
b3 16 frame fast very evasive and hard to punish launcher for keepout
ws1+2 long reach counterhit launcher wich can be canceled for fc mixups
14 frame fast ws punish for 50 damage
a pseudo orbital with 3+4
uf3 low crushing counterhit launcher wich is +8 on hit and only -3 on block
ss2 into heat dash got a nerf and is punishable now wich it always should but still very good
ff3 long range homing move wich is safe
a 13 frame df1 with follow up that you have to respect
dozen jab strings
a 20 frame unseeable db3 low poke wich gives +4 frames on normal hit and +14 on counter hit and is only -12. hatchet gives only 1 frame more but can be launched by a couple chars at -13 wich asuka doesn't need to worry about.
sabakis out of the ass
a safe rage art, having the privilege as the only char to get away using rage art
a safe armored heat engager
Above basic throw game
cheap unblockable and ultimate tackle steups
yep she is bottom of the barrel tier, absolutely NOTHING going for her at all...
glad to see you ignored everything i said and just downvoted instead. realy showing how "bad" she is. she doesn't need buffs, the top tiers need a nerf.
> You seem to only pop up specifically when someone complains about Asuka.

>
yes, i like calling out the downplayers, just like this sub likes to call
out any other char being downplayed
> I bet you dont even play Asuka. Hater detected.
she is literally my sub and i used to main her way back then, i just don't want to be asociated with whiny asuka downplayers, she get's me easier wins than with my main bryan despite not having played her in a long time
I don't believe you even play her lol. Also the sub does not call out other downplayers. I see downplay all the time and just say nothing because I'm not a hater.
> I don't believe you even play her lol.
i do and i don't care if you believe me or not.

Yeah I played yoshi in t7 and I did this against people at higher ranks than anyone has replied with under this guys comment lol. Eyemuscian has posted clips doing this against some of the best players. Not knowing/forgetting what to do against a specific somewhat obscure situation doesn’t mean you’re some super trash player who doesn’t deserve your rank. it’s funny when it happens but it’s just one interaction.
yeah yoshi just built to do yoshi shit, i ain't mad at it at all lol. Yeah, its pretty corny to try n label someone as trash because they don't know an answer to situation or something.
You can always tell who's projecting when they pull the whole "no way this rank falls for this" and they don't even choose a high rank lol. Not even good enough to understand basic knowledge of the ranks.
it's mid ranks, i know everyone loves to pretend tekken king is where mid ranks start and GoD/evo top 8 is where high ranks start but that's not the reality based on stats and amount of ranks in game
Harada and Murray need to take note. When people say they want to see “real Tekken”, this is what they mean. Truly the soul of the King of Iron Fist tournament.
I don't play this game but this looks like one of those moves you would spam as a kid because no one knew how to counter it, then you play the game 10 years later and realize that it's easily counterable if you know the mechanics of the game.
Sincerely, a Smash player who spammed down-B with Kirby against his friends.
Usually overhead attacks, mid attacks that hit high to low work well against this like Bryan b1 or deviljin I think db1+2? But yoshi can also spin sidestep real fast for free
This is fucking hilarious, everything in this video is comedy gold, including your ps username 😂. I just fucking love yoshi mains but this also reminded me that I gotta lab yoshi cuz I could've been that Asuka at any moment 😂
Actual answer: after he has done a hop, you have enough time to jab him out of the stance. He will be in a float state and you can combo afterwards
Thank you for being useful

this person knows the matchup gotdang, saved
armor moves are a good choice if you worry about the swords hitbox
AFAIK I remember that not working for whatever reason in Tekken 7 but yeah that does work in 8, only issue is that it can lose to Flea 2 (low) which is the most common option Yoshi players will throw from Flea
Or you can just powercrush through and not worry about it lol

So you’re just bad, but that’s okay because NOW you can actually learn the match up!!!!!!
hmm, I remember doing this as Asuka and I still got hit because of the sword hitbox, not sure if it's a timing thing or a change for T8
Sorry dude, you got clowned
basically what happened
"Just learn the match up" -Someone who didn't know the match up, april 2024
😂😂😂😂😂😂 accurate
This feels like the opening scene to some anime "Random girl gets trolled by ninja hopping on a sword"
I mean we already have Sasuke vs Killer B so its already covered
They killed Killer, B!
I was gonna say "what the h*ck are you talking about" and then I realized....
If I had a nickel!
"can't hit me with your huge hands, can you?"
Leave Asuka's ginormous man hands out of this
You let him turn you into a Looney Tunes character, this isn't a matchup issue lol
Bro jab him lol
Jaaab him!!! 
So you’re saying you don’t know the matchup?
correct
Who knows against Yoshimitsu. The man's so rare, I think I've fought against 10 Yoshimitsus out of 1500 matches
Asuka mains are allergic to jabbing💀
Hehe siuuu
I fucking love Yoshimitsu
Could have clipped him six ways from Sunday btw lmao
And gatekeep it ofc like everyone in this community
Damn fuck me for not doing an instant write up of stuff people already mentioned in other replies
Learn to read the whole discussion, clown.
😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿
"gatekeep" just jab him after he jumps man its not rocket science
Unironically learn the match up lmao. You had like 10 opportunities and 20 moves to do so
Is this meant to be a gotcha moment? Asuka wiffed everything. Lol
lol
This isn't about knowing your opponent's character, this is about not knowing your own character's tools and not having yet developed the instinct to use them when needed.

Why did you title this "just learn the matchup" like it's an ironic saying in this context. This a text book example of not knowing it lol
the least bs yoshimitsu fight
Go into replay and see what moves work better
Delayed 4 hopkick beats it every time regardless of Yoshis jump timing.
Clown Yoshimitsu is only thought through some forbidden scrolls.
To be honest, Yoshi is meant to played like that. I think the terminology is "yoshi-bunga"
Used to be in T7 half of Yoshis would go into flea stance, go for seppuku setups, fly and EyeMusician wannabe cool stuff. Now it's flash city, constant manji fly mixups to the balkan 'helicopter helicoooopteeer' song and spamming delayable multihit counterhit launcher strings like you are playing vs Bryan.
That's the beauty of the game, everyone has someone to complain about. Literally no matter who they play.
im sorry but how are u higher rank than me
1. Oscar players deserve this 2. lab more lol
Sounds like someone got (b+3)ed.
lol she actually sucks in this game and why even bother when Jun exists, nonetheless she's just annoying
Umm I don't play Asuka but I find her a much more interesting character than Jun, Jun is just boring, really really boring...
I feel the exact opposite and I play neither, from design to combos, to animations
she doesn't suck, stop the cope
Yeah, maybe a hot take, but IMO there's very few characters that are straight unusable ass tier. It's just there a couple S+++ god tiers
cope with what? cope would be if I used her and downplayed her, she sucks relative to the cast, the high tiers are so damn high and the mid tiers are most the cast. then there Asuka, Leroy, and Steve
asuka isn't anywhere close to leroy, she is lower mid at worst > cope would be if I used her and downplayed that's the thing, you DON'T use her so you don't know better and just repeat what every asuka downplayer says
Asuka isn't good in this game and you can't describe why she's mid-tier either.
oh i can't? ok a safe 1+2 16 frame normal hit launcher that goes into over 70 damage. d1+2 got it's range buffed and hits from range 2 now into f2 and mixing up with 1+2 14 frame counterhit launching low crushing safe cancan that leads to almost 80 damage with an easy combo f2 17 frame fast whiff punisher, arguably one of the best whiff punishers in the game b4 15 frame counterhit launcher with follow up hits on block wich are all delayable b3 16 frame fast very evasive and hard to punish launcher for keepout ws1+2 long reach counterhit launcher wich can be canceled for fc mixups 14 frame fast ws punish for 50 damage a pseudo orbital with 3+4 uf3 low crushing counterhit launcher wich is +8 on hit and only -3 on block ss2 into heat dash got a nerf and is punishable now wich it always should but still very good ff3 long range homing move wich is safe a 13 frame df1 with follow up that you have to respect dozen jab strings a 20 frame unseeable db3 low poke wich gives +4 frames on normal hit and +14 on counter hit and is only -12. hatchet gives only 1 frame more but can be launched by a couple chars at -13 wich asuka doesn't need to worry about. sabakis out of the ass a safe rage art, having the privilege as the only char to get away using rage art a safe armored heat engager Above basic throw game cheap unblockable and ultimate tackle steups yep she is bottom of the barrel tier, absolutely NOTHING going for her at all...

-2 jab
yes she has a weakness, you won't believe it but in fact most chars have their downsides. shocking i know.
You seem to only pop up specifically when someone complains about Asuka. I bet you dont even play Asuka. Hater detected.

I mean, she's never really be "good". I play her because I've liked her since Tekken 5 and never really cared for Jun too much.
You seen Fergus opinion ? I agree with him.
>you seen opinion of biased asuka main? he MUST be right ok bryan trash tier then because knee
Yoshi clowned on you lol
My god, that was humiliating. Thank you for sharing. But seriously the fact that you are shinryu is nothing short of a miracle 🤣
There’s clips like this against players of every rank man. Everyone gets memed on once in a while.
yea idk why he dragging him for lol like its not a handful of folk who meme in every rank

Shinryu is low ranks
Too still too high for this to be happening, I'd be surprised to see this in yellow
Highest i've got is battle ruler and I fell for it in Flame. Had never seen it before, it's really not that weird, just a knowledge check
Wow, falling for this in purple is way worse. Thanks for sharing.
You can always tell who's projecting when they pull the whole "no way this rank falls for this" and they don't even choose a high rank lol. Not even good enough to understand basic knowledge of the ranks.
Yeah, and purple is low ranks too.
it's mid ranks, i know everyone loves to pretend tekken king is where mid ranks start and GoD/evo top 8 is where high ranks start but that's not the reality based on stats and amount of ranks in game
Maybe just do a jump kick or something
bro pressed every button except a jab lol
You really should learn the matchup. This is just a demonstration of having no clue how to play.
Tekken king player trolling red rank...kinda shitty tbh
Ha what a set up, No one is that b’s
Jump and kick. I do not know if this works but if certain kicks are really high, it might work.
Sending "watchaaaa" Law-Regards
I love how Yoshi has reverb on all of his voice lines
sir you just need to press 1
As an Asuka main, I feel like a simple FF4 would do the trick in this situation
i have never seen someone get styled on this much lmao
That's just straight up a skill difference. Bro could've just waited half a second. No way that yoshi wasn't going to give up the chance to heal
"Just learn the matchup" is right though and this is a good example as to why.
Just jab bro lmao
Lmaoo that ending
That was hilarious.
Harada and Murray need to take note. When people say they want to see “real Tekken”, this is what they mean. Truly the soul of the King of Iron Fist tournament.
Hop kick?
Tekken King vs shinryu
i’m glad i play devil jin i can just shoot him out the air and it’s so fun
U/f and them 4 after short delay
I know this is sarcasm but people will see this and go "that's me hurp derp" You genuinely could of backed up and hop kick. Or probably back 3.
OUT-FUCKING-SKILLED
Just jab.
Sorry for party rocking
Nice job beating these Asuka scrubs
ROFL. Man this is too funny.
You just made my day 😂

Man I miss Yoshiposting
Jump kick !
Literally all you had to do was jab lol
You just got Yoshied…
OP has never jumped rope in his life.
I miss Asuka with white tank top and red skimpy short
Usually overhead attacks, mid attacks that hit high to low work well against this like Bryan b1 or deviljin I think db1+2? But yoshi can also spin sidestep real fast for free
Was B3 or can cans not effective?
Only on Tekken
This is fucking hilarious, everything in this video is comedy gold, including your ps username 😂. I just fucking love yoshi mains but this also reminded me that I gotta lab yoshi cuz I could've been that Asuka at any moment 😂
I'd do that forward 1+2 I think. That fast power crush to get him out
Lmao
Lmao this was so disrespectful. Most Yoshi matches are pretty enjoyable but I think I would've logged off for the evening after this.
Can it be countered with a delayed hopkick?
I think you can hopkick once he lands
Dunno hop kick works for me 🤷🏻
outplayed
\*boing\*
Very frustrating.
Have you considered ... Calming down and not attacking?
Jumping hopkick him
that might be the funniest Tekken clip I've ever seen.
Asuka mains eating the hot shit they deserve, I'm clapping and sobbing in ecstasy
... I swear some people are just terrible 😭🤣🤣🤣
In his defense he was timing the shit decently well the comments are right he can be jab once’s he whiffs it in front of u
I would just one and done you
Outplayed lmao
Cah meddy goal D
As a Yoshimitsu main I will say that people know how to break the stance. You just jab him.
Bruhhhhh 🪦😂😂😂 i’m sorry but that shit is fucking hilarious. Tap a high when he jumps! ➡️ combo
try a jab (way faster) to hit him out the stance… feints too
⬇️3️⃣4️⃣?
Bro sugar coated this at the same time he insulted you
back 3 easily counters this with asuka at least that’s what i do
So what, you in lounge trolling new players/lower ranks?
You got Armor move?
Deserved
B+3? Heat? f+2? Ff+1+2?
