Yoshimitsu is cheap, broken and shallow which is why I play him. I have no business being Tenryu.

Coin flip situations, punishing you for doing the correct thing with his stupid counter pose. His helicopter stance functions in a way that is genuinely stupid.

Not broken, just a walking knowledge check.

His flash is probably the single most infuriating move in the game.
Tekken used to be that you either had a gimmick character that had bad frames or damage, or an honest character with good damage. Yoshimitsu breaks this convention by being a walking rule breaking gimmick character with excellent tools and good damage in 8.

You can just hit him out of it, its interuptable

The entire game is broken at the moment. Just pick whoever and play however. No point obsessing over clean play in this messy balance.

Kind of a revive sorry. I'm playing against a friend that plays Yoshi and its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. He is allowed to whiff on purpose and flash regardless of anything. He just launches from everything and anything and everything yoshi does feels extremely robbed

I am a yoshimitsu main. Not pro or anything, I got to shinryu rank. He has ups and downs, but he looks like the most random character, since he has so many options to deal with. I think he destroys smaller-size characters like Leo but he can really be struggling against some characters like Lee. Therefore, he is not straight forward character like Viktor or Azucena. He is surely not in top 5 most imbalanced characters, that's for sure. And he got all the nerfs in most of the patches.
