I've heard that Namco is mainly reading Japanese Tekken forums.
Maybe we should break into them That would be fun...

Just spam harada on twitter.

For people playing Yoshi in TTT2:U now: how do you feel while playing him? Do you feel overally stronger than in T6? Have you tried solo play already?

Haven't tried solo play with him but he's relatively unchanged so far for me. His biggest change is that if you have Alisa as a partner, you cannot get the monster damage combo any more. But with other partners he's fine. His d+2,2,1 as a wall combo is less consistent now that opponent seems to slump faster.

Is his f,f+4 back to -6 in TTT2:U? I wish so...

"KIN 2: Launcher if done alone.
KIN 3: No longer death on block."

Yay~!

KIN 2 does launch by itself now but KIN 3 is sadly still at least -16

Since you can input moves before you guard when tagging in, sometimes its safer to execute certain moves tagging in and potentially netting some offense - can be seen through many TTT2 vids that players like to sit jab or reverse upon tagging in. Here's a list of useful tools Yoshi has when tagging in:

1) 1+2 for the auto counter
2) b+1+2 for swaying movement
3) flash
4) d+4 for high crush
5) b+3_4

The first option is good at situation where your tag partner life is so low that you are forced to tag Yoshi hit, despite the risk. In this kind of situation it's almost a guarantee your opponent will launch you. 1+2 has a short active frame, but it starts right as you input it.
Second option is risky for if the opponent doesn't do anything, they'd either 1. block and punish you (launch-punishable) or 2. b+1+2 whiffs and opponent launches and punish you. Still it can evade a lot of things whilst if you rely on Yoshi's 1+2 to auto counter sometimes that doesn't work because of short active frame (i.e. against Bruce b,f+4 which comes out slower).
Flash is usable in situation where opponent is close to you. Don't expect to flash interrupt ewgf or Jack's d/f+2 from range but you can certainly interrupt people trying to do advancing mids against you when you tag in right next to them. A rewarding option.
Fourth option d+4 is Yoshi's poor man imitation of other characters' sit jab. It's not as fast as a high crush but it's better than doing d+3+4 (which also high crush) or d/b+3,3s which is riskier/slower.
Last option undoubtedly evades lots of things. I haven't really played with it much because I always forget to use them, but generally you should commit to at least using two spins since one spin is not enough to evade launcher that have decent tracking (electrics, d/f+2s, Bob/Asuka/Miguel u/f+4)

That's too bad. >.> It looks so cool!

What would be really cool, in my opinion, is some quick evasion moves while in DGF. Like, I dunno, aerial SS or something.

Can someone who knows japanese translate jakodayo's impression of yoshimitsu from his website http://ameblo.jp/jako777/theme-10016808432.html

It looks like he's talking about sxt yoshimitsu, ttt2u yoshi, he mentions hugo a couple times, and how air to air is good etc

Can Yoshi 1+2+3 on an incoming tag crash? Can he do ub+1+2~1 against an incoming tag crash and it hit?

Kunimitsu is back!

Just waiting for the influx of new Yoshi users now too!

Yup...I found my team, I guess...

btw, anybody notice that Kunimitsu's outfit looks like some of the CaS stuff from SoulCalibur? []

Something that i've been wondering, does he get a juggle out of b2 pick ups now? I recall seeing b2~Kin 1+2 connecting. Also is b2~KIN viable for mix-ups in Unlimited?

Yep, he's got legit mixups from b2 now.

b2,1: mid, mid, 2nd hit launches
b2, 2: mid, high, I believe HCable
b2~ 1+2: for kin reverse

I believe b2~kin 1+2 juggles, too. But I can't say for certain. I've seen people landing b2,1~kin 1+2 B! early on in combos.

You can prettymuch just block and punish every option though right?

I believe b2,2 is punishable, maybe just by jabs? Don't quote me on that :x

b2,1 is launchable; but you can also delay the string for a bit of a mindfuck.

There's always the option for b2~kin b+1+2 unblockable, although it can be stepped (not sure which direction), and bdc'd (unless you're at the wall).

And b2 alone is safe.

b+2,2 is -14

So largely not launch-punishable, and can be delayed and hit-confirmed...I'm fine with that. []
