Tekken 8 Yoshimitsu SpecterA25

Introduction
Hi there. I'm Spectre, a passionate Tekken player from the UAE. For as long as I can
remember, I've been immersed in the intricate world of Tekken. My character of choice is
usually either Kazuya Mishima or Claudio Serafino. However, I have embarked on a mission
to unravel the mysteries of another iconic character: Yoshimitsu. This document is not your
typical beginner's guide; it is a compilation of insights and strategies aimed at helping
players harness Yoshimitsu's full potential.
I have spent countless hours dissecting Yoshimitsu's moveset, exploring advanced
techniques, and uncovering hidden nuances. However, I must emphasize that this document
is far from complete. The world of Tekken is vast, and there is always room for improvement
and discovery.
That is why I have decided to share my findings with fellow players. This document serves
as a starting point—a foundation upon which players can build their understanding and
mastery of Yoshimitsu. I will continue updating this document as I uncover new insights and
refine existing strategies.
None of this would have been possible without the contributions of the Tekken community
and the creators who tirelessly share their knowledge and expertise. You will find links to
their invaluable resources in the references section.
Tekken 8 Yoshimitsu SpecterA25

Yoshimitsu
Difficulty - Advanced

The latest Yoshimitsu title holder. Yoshi plays quite different to pretty much everyone else in
the fact that he relies on creativity and strong oki awareness to get an opening on his
opponents. He doesn’t have many solid tools to work with in terms of poking and such, so he
relies on situational moves to create pressure and mindgames. He has a plethora of
unblockables and stances in his arsenal so it’s up to the player’s creativity to go far with this
character. He has a move called Flash (1+4) which is a 6f interrupt so the opponent must be
very wary about using their + frames against Yoshi, it also means that certain moves that are
normally safe, becomes unsafe vs him. Yoshimitsu can also use his spin to evade
opponent’s pressure so it can be quite risky to pursue your offense vs him. He has an
interesting mechanic where if he uses specific moves in either heat or NSS (No Sword
Stance), he lifesteals from the opponent, restoring his own HP. A steep learning curve in
terms of knowledge is required with Yoshimitsu to make the most of his tools as his basic
tools aren’t up to snuff with most other “normal” characters in the game. His combo damage
is quite low so it’s encouraged to get creative with his unblockables and setups to make up
for that.

Pros
• The best sets of unblockables in the game
• One of the best okizeme
• Strong turn-stealing tools
Cons
• Poor basics
• Combo damage on the lower end for unorthodox launchers

Recommended for players who likes

• Unorthodox characters
• Creative oki characters
• Freestyling offense

Glossory
Backdash Cancel (BDC) - is basically cancelling your backdash with db to cut the recovery pe-
riod and allowing you to perform another action. This is done via (b,b db~b, b, db~b b….). This is
a variant of the BDC called the Korean Backdash Cancel (KBC). BDC is good for creating space
between yourself at the opponent quickly and to escape mixup situations. There are a few ways
to perform a BDC but this is the preferred one as it works with backsway characters such as
Bryan, Paul and Nina.

BT = Backturned, it’s basically just your character putting their back towards the opponent.
Some characters have a unique movelist out of BT such as Chloe, Feng, MRaven, Xiaoyu

CH = Counter Hit, hitting someone out of their attack, for some moves, there is a specific prop-
erty that comes out on a CH only, ie a CH launcher, CH knockdown etc

Crush - a property of a move where it is designed to go cleanly through a move depending on

high or low crush property.

Heat - a new mechanic in Tekken 8, it is an install-like. Each character has their own unique way
of using heat through buffing certain moves, increasing chip damage overall, and gives them ac-
cess to moves like Heat Smashes.

Heat Burst - a way to enter heat, it is a fast armored move that is generally + on block, it is a
strong defensive option to deal with the opponent’s pressure.

Heat Engager - each character have moves that are assigned a Heat Engager property, which
means when this move connects on the opponent on hit, they will enter their heat state. If you
use a heat engager move while in heat, the move will turn into a launcher or a knockdown, de-
pending on character.

Heat Smash - it is a one button move per character, it immediately exits heat and they are char-
acter specific. Some characters have low heat smashes, some characters have + on block mid
heat smashes, they’re all different.

High Crush - a move that’s designed to be “invincible” to high moves.

Tekken 8 Yoshimitsu SpecterA25

Homing move - a move that is designed to shut down sidestepping.

Hopkick - a standard low crush launcher that most characters have. Usually i15 and done by
either uf3 or uf4.

Launcher - a combo starter, usually the fastest launcher is i15 for most chars.

Low Crush - like high crush moves, low crush moves just simply hops over lows.

FC - Full Crouch , a state where the character is in crouching and there is an exclusive moveset
in this state.

Mishima - when people refer to Mishimas in-game, they are referring to the playstyle rather than
the surname. So this includes Heihachi, Kazuya and Devil Jin (even though Jin is a Kazama by
name). In TTT2, Angel was considered a Mishima under this term. This comes with shared tools
such as EWGF, Hellsweep and wavedashing.

Oki/Okizeme - The mixups you force on your opponent when they are on the ground.

Rage - a state a character is in with 25% or less health remaining. It gives your character a very
slight damage increase and access to Rage Art and Rage Drive. It’s indicated by a red aura
around the character and red glowing lifebar.

Rage Art - Basically Tekken 7’s version of a super. Fully armoured but still absorbs damage so
can still get KO’ed if absorbed move kills. Uses up your rage and every chars RA is different in
terms of speed.

Range 0/1/2/3 etc. Range 0 is point blank, Range 1 is a single backdash away. Range 2 = 2 back-
dashes etc

Power Crush - an armoured move available for all chars. What the actual move is, is unique to
the character.

Tornado attack - a move that causes them to spin and fly away in a juggle allowing for enders.
This replaces the bound from T6/TTT2 and is usually given as t! in combo notations. You may
also see screw which is the older name for it.
Tekken 8 Yoshimitsu SpecterA25

Seeable - means it’s reactable, usually referred to with lows.

SS - sidestep notation so a SS1 move would be Sidestep + 1

SSL - Sidestep left - performed by tapping up on P1 side and down on P2 side.

SSR - Sidestep right - performed by tapping down on P1 side and up on P2 side.

SWL - Sidewalk left - basically a longer but more vulnerable step, done by tapping for SSL then
holding down the button

SWR - Sidewalk right - same as SSR but tapping then holding down the button..

WS - While Standing, a state where the character transitions from crouching to standing, there
is an exclusive moveset in this state.

WS Punishment - When I refer to this, it’s when you block a move from crouching (lows) or
blocking a move that leaves you in crouch, it’s your punishment from crouching essentially.

WR - While Running, a state where the character is considered running.

Wall Carry - a combo that is designed around taking your opponent to the wall.

Wallsplat - a move designed to splat the opponent vs the wall for a followup combo.
