Beginner Question - Yoshimitsu Stances

[RPG_Penguin]

I'm new to Tekken and so I am trying to learn my first character. I've decided on Yoshi but I'm having some trouble entering the Kincho and Flea stances (no problems with Meditation/Indian). In the move list they're down as 1+2 and d+1+2 but when I try this I end up doing the same basic attack as when I just press 1.

In practice mode I've got the command history showing so I know the commands are being input correctly but I'm not getting the result I'm after. I'm clearly doing something wrong but I can't figure out what, can anyone help?

Are you facing backwards when you are trying it?
Anyways, you need to be frame perfect when pressing both 1 and 2, not sure why wouldn't it work otherwise.

I asked about on Reddit and it turns out it was because I had the basic combos turned on. Turning it off fixed the issue, but thanks anyway!
