Yoshimitsu - 4A Part 2

It turns out that combo damage using the perfect JF version of the 4A series is only slightly higher than easier combos.

This combo is a good example (tested in practice mode with air control set to "back"):

3B -> 4A:A:A:A:A -> a:B+K -> 66B (77 dmg)
3B -> a:B+K -> 66B (72 dmg)

The reason behind the small difference in damage is not that the 4A series does a total of 5 damage, but that moves do less damage as a combo is longer. So, in this case, a:B+K, which normally does 30 damage, does far less damage in the first combo than the second combo.

Also, the previous post needs to be amended in that the perfect JF version of the 4A series will come out even if you are holding a direction on your joystick.

Yoshimitsu - 4A

Yoshimitsu has eight 'just frame' (JF) moves - moves done with precise timing that give off a soft whirr and make your character flash white:

• a:B+K
• 2:a:B
• 3B+K:B
• SDGF (Super Dragonfly stance) K:K (two versions)
• 2A+K_REF (Reflection stance) A+K_66A+K, A:A
• 1A:A:A:A:A
• 4A:A:A:A:A
• FC 1K:K:K:K:K

Today's post will focus on 4A:A:A:A:A; it is a five-string move that hits high, and the second to the fifth hits must be executed with precise button timing. If executed successfully, the last hit will have guard crush properties. As is the case with the non-JF version, he will get dizzy and fall over on the fifth hit.

However, if there is no joystick input is registered for the fifth hit (you aren't holding the stick or the directional pad), he will regain his balance immediately after the fifth hit and strike a little pose, and will recover very quickly from the string. I will refer to this version as the perfect JF version.

The most interesting property of this JF move is when it is used in air combos. If the last hit manages to connect in an air combo, the opponent will be launched into the air very high, allowing for additional combo damage. This property is useless if the regular JF version is done, as he will get dizzy and fall over while the opponent plummets toward the ground.

Keep in mind that, with the quick recovery Yoshimitsu has with the perfect JF version, you can follow up with slower moves that typically do not connect with his other launchers such as 3B or 66B.

Yoshimitsu - Tekken Moves

It seems that the secret behind Yoshimitsu's Tekken moves (4A+K) lies in the time remaining in the round.

The following Tekken moves will come out depending on the units digit of the remaining time:

1:Taunt, slap (additional A for a second hit)
2:Drunken walk (auto evade)
3:Kazuya / Devil Jin's spinning unblockable | Jin's b+1+2 (auto GI)
4:Kunimitsu's unblockable
5:Fake somersault (second hit with 8A+K)
6:Shadow feet (Heihachi's running away move)
7:Super knuckle bomb (unblockable King / Armor King move)
8:Taunt | Paul's low launcher
9:Spin in place | Blazing kick (Lee's kick launcher)
0:Leg lariat (King's high kick)

This tactic could become quite useful, especially for some of the fast unblockable moves like Kunimitsu's unblockable (u+1+2, in Tekken notation).
