Dead thread but still gonna ask a question.

Whats the deal with Yoshi's sword parry? It hits even when -6.. wtf

Because it's 6 frames fast - and also not a parry, it's a standalone move: 1+4

when Yoshi is going for 3+4 on his wakeup &
I block that but after that Yoshi player presses 1? in order to juggle me
I can't seem to block that move, low, high and neutral block all don't work.
also is there a way to avoid yoshi's low sword spin juggle or is that an unblockable?

thanks in advance

thats actually a universal wakeup option for some
paul, steve and some i forget now have that too
a 1 jab will float launch you guaranteed
(its a long animation tho)


unblockable
best way to deal with is backdash or visually seeing, reacting and low crush it (like "hopkick" )

Every time you tech against yoshimitsu, he might catch you with the unblockable sword sweep launch. The solution is not teching and if yoshimitsu still does the sword sweep, you can get up and launch punish.

Against 3+4 wakeup, try sidestepping it. Even if you get hit, it's better than blocking it.

Thanks for the info guys.
Paul d+1 might beat Yoshi's low sword spin on time. Need to try that later.

Have we already found this glitch?

Item move cancels NSS

Either way he recovers with his sword out

same in tag 2. You can call it a glitch, but you could also call it a property.

I wish they gave him his projectile as a regular move.

It would actually be useful against Akuma.

Hey, check this out.

if you low parry with 4,4,4, f+3+4, the last hit of the f3+4 doesn't connect properly and leaves them at the foot of his sword, counter hitting almost any option they have (holding forward helps connect against spring kicks).
Absolutely ideal for making them face the FLE~f mixup as soon as they get up, if they get up safely.

The spring attack is a bit iffy though, but if you press forward at the right moment you'll beat that too. Less success against the paul/yoshi/gigas style spring attack.

More useless information

HItting Yoshi out of his no sword windmill counts as a punish, not a counter!

This disqualifies the likes of Hworang's d4,4 as a means of launching Yoshi.

I'm trying out a few moves and it's amazing all the stuff that doesn't work at close range against this move.
Like as soon as your opponent has a single frame in their command that doesn't high crush, they're instantly nailed by the windmill for huge damage, even if they were trying to do a WS launcher.

How fuck do you get BT d1 out of MED consistently? I press d/b1, sometimes it comes out, sometimes it doesn't.

F~d/f+1

^ like what Corn said, MED f~d/f+1 or b~d/b+1.

O.o

also MED into ff+4 is MED fff+4. Has slightly longer range than ff+4.

thanks
