By all counts, Yashiro represents the very definition of a brawler character. No fantasy gimmicks or magical shenanigans—Yashiro uses nothing but his bare fists and fundamentals to deliver a beatdown, and he does so in style. Give him meter, and the party really starts with multiple launching attacks that can end in hard knockdowns.
Yashiro's gameplan is simple: get in the opponent's face and barrage them with your fists until you can't anymore. ''EX'' '''Mighty Missile Bash''' (214AC) is a fast launcher that lies at the heart of Yashiro's combo game. The height of which it launches means it can easily be followed up with yet another launcher in ''EX'' '''Jet Counter Still''' (426AC~236C), and to top it all off, he can end it by comboing Step Side Kick (6B) into '''Sledgehammer''' (214K), a leaping overhead attack that causes a hard knockdown. The amount of oki Yashiro can get off of his basic combo routes is barely unmatched.
What makes Yashiro stand out is, for him, there's no such thing as a stubby button. Every single one of Yashiro's normals, on the ground and in the air, has excellent reach, allowing Yashiro to easily pick away at the opponent without causing much harm to himself. On defense, he has access to Dual Upper (623P), a standing, DP-style move that has upper-body guardpoint on startup, making it an excellent option against opponents on the offensive.
The range of Yashiro's normals greatly complements his special moves. Jet Counter (426P) is a forward-advancing special that leaves Yashiro relatively safe on block, and with a godly crossup in j.C that practically guarantees a combo or blockstring on hit or block, and a long, special-cancellable f.C, Yashiro can easily run his pressure game over and over to the point where he can break the opponent's guard meter in a short amount of time.
Yashiro's only weakness, besides a relative lack of utility and range, is his meter dependency. Yashiro is ''heavily'' reliant on meter; without it, you lose access to the massive damage and hard knockdowns that make Yashiro such an immensely strong character. For these reasons, Yashiro is preferably played on mid or anchor, where he'll start with the meter that makes him an intimidating close-range monster.
{{StrengthsAndWeaknesses
{{StrengthsAndWeaknesses
| intro = Yashiro is a simple character with far reaching normals and a straight-forward combo game. His special moves lack utility, but he makes up for that with a solid set of buttons, ranging from his quick and large f.B, his beefy, cancellable f.C, and great jump normals between j.A, j.D, and j.CD. His biggest weakness is his aforementioned lack of utility, making it difficult for him to deal with the more specialized tools of the stronger characters in the cast. Nonetheless, Yashiro is a great character to pick up when learning the fundamentals of KOF. Yashiro functions best mid or anchor, as having EX available makes his confirms from his great normals much more threatening.

* '''Great Normals''': Yashiro has many great, long-reaching normals. His j.D and j.CD give him great air control, while his f.C is very long and cancellable. 6A is a fast overhead that gives knockdown and is only -3 on block, which gives him good pressure in the corner.

Yashiro does a standing kick to the shins, which is his fastest low. In most situations, you would probably want to be using cr.B as a go-to low, but Yashiro's is relatively slow and can lose to mashing. Therefore, you should probably be trying to use this instead. Be wary of the range, however, as his st.D is very punishable.

An uppercut combo. All versions have upper body armor that can armor through highs and mids. The A version starts up the fastest but has the shortest duration of armor. This makes it good for anti-airing, but bad as a reversal, and even in anti-airs its shorter armor means it must be timed better. The C version is the slowest but has armor on frame 1. This makes it harder to use as an anti-air, but can be used as a reversal. It also has more combo potential via super cancels, unlike the A version which causes no juggle potential at all. The EX version is the best of both worlds, having fast startup and frame 1 armor. It also can lead to some combos, especially in the corner. Note that all versions lose to lows.
An uppercut combo. All versions have upper body armor that can armor through highs and mids, making this a fantastic anti air and situational reversal. The A version starts up the fastest but has the shortest duration of armor. The C version is the slowest but has a longer duration of armor. You can also nullify projectiles with the armor, gaining meter in the process. The C version is best for this, as it recovers faster when it absorbs a projectile. Both versions can be super cancelled on the first hit, but only the C version can be followed-up after the second hit.
The EX version is immune to throws and has full body armor, letting it armor through lows, which the regular versions cannot. This functions as a reliable reversal. On hit this move puts the opponent into an invulnerable state which prevents Yashiro from hitting them any further until they touch the ground.

A dashing mid punch. All versions hit mid. This special is only ok in a vacuum, but works wonders as a cancel from f.C and 2D.

The EX version is the best of both worlds, being fast and neutral on block, with a range inbetween the A and C versions.

It's negative on block, but safe, and has enough pushback to where Yashiro can counter his opponent's response. Knowing your options after a blocked 41236A is an integral part of Yashiro's pressure. Since this is safe, you can use it as a hitconfirm from far C into super, greatly increasing Yashiro's threat at mid range. You can also juggle into 623A if this hits airborne in the corner.
The C version is slower which can act as a frame trap when canceled, although a savvy opponent can throw Yashiro out of the start up. It's plus on block and travels further, but overall the A version is more useful.

* EX version is projectile invincible.
Yashiro leaps and slams his fist into the ground. Sledgehammer is one of Yashiro's main pressure tools; all versions of Sledgehammer have a hard knockdown, which makes them risky to try and punish. It's also mostly safe, except for 214D, which is an actual overhead.
A leaping overhead. Button pressed determines the distance travelled. Hits overhead, but is very unsafe on block. Can be used as a gimmick but shouldn't be relied upon. The leaping movement can help against projectiles, but what can be done with 214K in neutral can often also be done with regular KOF movement, with much less risk. Using this as a combo ender however, does grant a hard knockdown.

A fighter with power over the earth, Yashiro is the lead guitarist of the rock group C.Y.S. However, this is all a front as, for the past 660 years, he has underwent multiple reincarnations as a member of the Four Heavenly Kings of Orochi, which are the true enemies of the Three Sacred Treasures. He and fellow teammate Shermie sacrificed themselves to undo the seal of Orochi and grant his power to Chris during the '97 tournament, but Orochi was defeated by the Three Sacred Treasures soon after. Yashiro, along with many other formerly dead fighters, was one of the lost souls trapped within the being known as Verse. He develops an interest in the mysterious powers wielded by Verse, and sets out with Shermie and Chris to join KOF once again.

Give him meter, and the party really starts with multiple launching attacks that can end in hard knockdowns.
Yashiro's gameplan is simple: get in the opponent's face and barrage them with your fists until you can't anymore. EXMighty Missile Bash (214AC) is a fast launcher that lies at the heart of Yashiro's combo game. The height of which it launches means it can easily be followed up with yet another launcher in EXJet Counter Still (426AC~236C), and to top it all off, he can end it by comboing Step Side Kick (6B) into Sledgehammer (214K), a leaping overhead attack that causes a hard knockdown. The amount of oki Yashiro can get off of his basic combo routes is barely unmatched.
What makes Yashiro stand out is, for him, there's no such thing as a stubby button. Every single one of Yashiro's normals, on the ground and in the air, has excellent reach, allowing Yashiro to easily pick away at the opponent without causing much harm to himself. On defense, he has access to Dual Upper (623P), a standing, DP-style move that has upper-body guardpoint on startup, making it an excellent option against opponents on the offensive.
The range of Yashiro's normals greatly complements his special moves. Jet Counter (426P) is a forward-advancing special that leaves Yashiro relatively safe on block, and with a godly crossup in j.C that practically guarantees a combo or blockstring on hit or block, and a long, special-cancellable f.C, Yashiro can easily run his pressure game over and over to the point where he can break the opponent's guard meter in a short amount of time.
Yashiro's only weakness, besides a relative lack of utility and range, is his meter dependency. Yashiro is heavily reliant on meter; without it, you lose access to the massive damage and hard knockdowns that make Yashiro such an immensely strong character. For these reasons, Yashiro is preferably played on mid or anchor, where he'll start with the meter that makes him an intimidating close-range monster.
Yashiro Nanakase is a close-range specialist who relies on meter for massive damage and okizeme.
Pros
Cons
Easy: Yashiro has a simple, easy to understand gameplan. His low execution and solid reward make him great for teaching KOF fundamentals, which reward him well.
Great Normals: Yashiro has many great, long-reaching normals. His j.D and j.CD give him great air control, while his f.C is very long and cancelable. 6A is a fast overhead that gives knockdown and is only -3 on block, which gives him good pressure in the corner.
Rewarding Pokes: Due to his aforementioned great normals, Yashiro has a good poking game. He can cancel anything into good damage and corner carry thanks to Jet Counter.
Frame Traps: Yashiro has several plus on block normals and chains with small gaps, such as lights into 6A or many different cancels and delay cancels into 41236A, making it scary for the opponent to press buttons when he's on offense.
Defense: Yashiro has several good anti-airs between cl.C, 2C, and the 623P specials. He also can blow through fireball pressure with 236236P and 214BD.
Brawler Focus: Very little utility in his moveset, relying solely on fundamentals and close range combat. Yashiro has no fireball or any kind of safe zoning outside of his pokes, which makes it difficult for him to threaten characters sitting on a life lead and playing defensively.
Heavily Meter Dependent: While he does great damage with meter, Yashiro is extremely reliant on it. His light conversions are mediocre without meter, as he does low damage and does not get a knockdown.
Whiff Recovery: Yashiro's best heavy pokes have a very large amount of whiff recovery, meaning you will have to space them much better than other characters in order to not get punished.

Chains into and from light normals
A quick jab with plus frames. Has good range for a f.A. This not only helps it fare better in neutral, but also lets Yashiro perform longer light normal blockstrings than many other characters (e.g 2A, 2B, f.A, f.A, f.B). End light normal chains with this normal if you want to keep the pressure. Chains into itself and other A and B normals.

A massive quick kick. This button is excellent at controlling space and can even lead to good reward with Max Cancel. Use frequently to pester the opponent, but remember to take advantage of their annoyance to get bigger hits. Also keep in mind that the recovery is longer than your average light normal, so be wary of abusing this. Chains from A normals, making for easy Max confirms.

Special/Super Cancellable.
A far reaching punch that's cancellable. Having a cancellable far heavy in KOF is often a boon, and this normal is no exception. Yashiro can get a very easy confirm with f.C > 41236A ~ 236C > super, stopping at 41236A if it's blocked. It's quite fast as well giving Yashiro potentially stronger punishes than other characters in certain situations.

Whiffs on crouching opponents.
A massive roundhouse. This move as a similarly large hitbox to f.B, but has bigger damage and reaches higher, making it good at catching jumps as well. However, compared to f.B it has an even higher whiff recovery, so the commitment is higher. It also whiffs on crouchers.

Yashiro does a standing kick to the shins, which is his fastest low. In most situations, you would probably want to be using cr.B as a go-to low, but Yashiro's is relatively slow and can lose to mashing. Therefore, you should probably be trying to use this instead. Be wary of the range, however, as his st.D is very punishable.

A downwards punch. This is Yashiro's best jump in for offense. The hitbox is wide enough to cross opponents up, especially if they're crouching.
Insanely active
Deceptively good at crossing up
Quite large underneath him as well.
Because of how fast Yashiro touches the floor and his fast close normals, this normal almost always will grant a combo on hit. You can use it at the maximum height of his arc during a short hop and it will still combo and grant great pressure on hit or block. Nigh busted jumping normal that, by all means, you should abuse on offense.

A shoulder tackle blowback.
On hit, Yashiro can always confirm with a 6B provided he runs far enough.
An amazing blowback, with a good hitbox and forward movement. Yashiro leans back during the start-up which lets him dodge some moves making this an effective counter poke. You can use this after blocked A normals or even a blocked 41236A to evade your opponent's attempt to take their turn and effectively steal your turn back. Safe on block and abusable, even being plus on block at the perfect spacing.

Overhead.
Values in [] indicate when move is cancelled into
A slamming overhead. When done by itself, hits overhead and causes a hard knockdown. Hits OTG (off the ground), tacking on additional damage after a super and setting up a safe jump with whiffed cl.A > immediate hop. The range is good, and while it can't be comboed after with a Max Cancel, it is unique among overhead command normals in having substantial reward meterless with its knockdown. Safe on block. When canceled from a normal, combos from heavy normals and can be canceled, but is rendered obselete compared to 6B. When cancelled from light normals, this acts as a frame trap.

A step kick. Has a lot of range and is cancellable giving it potential use in neutral. It even cause a juggle state on air hit, allowing for combos if your opponent gets hit out of a hop.

Upper body armor frame 1
A version is faster, C version has longer armor duration
An uppercut combo. All versions have upper body armor that can armor through highs and mids, making this a fantastic anti air and situational reversal. The A version starts up the fastest but has the shortest duration of armor. The C version is the slowest but has a longer duration of armor. You can also nullify projectiles with the armor, gaining meter in the process. The C version is best for this, as it recovers faster when it absorbs a projectile. Both versions can be super cancelled on the first hit, but only the C version can be followed-up after the second hit.
The EX version is immune to throws and has full body armor, letting it armor through lows, which the regular versions cannot. This functions as a reliable reversal. On hit this move puts the opponent into an invulnerable state which prevents Yashiro from hitting them any further until they touch the ground.

A dashing mid punch. The A version is quick, covers about 1/3 of the screen distance, and combos from heavies. It's negative on block, but safe, and has enough pushback to where Yashiro can counter his opponent's response. Knowing your options after a blocked 41236A is an integral part of Yashiro's pressure. Since this is safe, you can use it as a hitconfirm from far C into super, greatly increasing Yashiro's threat at mid range. You can also juggle into 623A if this hits airborne in the corner.
The C version is slower which can act as a frame trap when canceled, although a savvy opponent can throw Yashiro out of the start up. It's plus on block and travels further, but overall the A version is more useful.
The EX version is fast and neutral on block, with a range inbetween the A and C versions. Although Yashiro isn't plus, you could continue your offense on block if your opponent doesn't have any good normals to contest your 2A.
This special has follow-ups on hit or block, but in general should only be used on hit, as they're more negative than if you didn't do a follow up at all.

A version: A straight punch ender to 41236P. Not noteworthy, as it does less damage than the 236C follow-up and doesn't knockdown. It's slightly safer which could give it some frame trapping potential by delaying the follow up after a blocked 41236P, but as it's still -12 it's not the best option. In juggles, this can be used as a super cancel option of 236C has already been used. When used after 41236AC, the move is completely safe(aside from a few character-specific punishes, usually command grabs), and causes a hard knockdown. The knockdown is very long, allowing you to connect OTG 6As even from midscreen, and can be worth the bar to set up a safe jump.
C version: An uppercut ender to 41236P. Very unsafe, but does more damage and connects into supers just as well as the 236A follow up. Since you should ideally should be hit confirming the 41236P, this will be the preferred ender. When used after 41236AC, you get a higher launch, allowing for further combos. This only connects once per juggle, so if it's already been used in your combo, use 236A instead.

Yashiro leaps and slams his fist into the ground. Sledgehammer is one of Yashiro's main pressure tools; all versions of Sledgehammer have a hard knockdown, which makes them risky to try and punish. It's also mostly safe, except for 214D, which is an actual overhead.
214B: Not an overhead. Too slow to combo from heavies, but is otherwise a pretty quick attack. Safe on block and cannot be punished by 4-frame attacks.
214D: Actual overhead. Slow, but does more damage than 214B. Very punishable on block.
214BD: Not an overhead. Slower than 214B and 214D, but is very safe. Groundbounces on hit, allowing for certain followups.

Data in [] refers to properties when charged.
A big punch that travels about half-screen distance. Can be charged to hit later in combos, which will also increase the damage slightly. Generally outclassed by Variable Bash Stream as a combo ender. Can be followed up with 6A in the corner, but this is harder to do than with 236236K.
The 2 bar version has a 7 frame start-up, which makes it one of Yashiro's fastest special moves. This can be useful in some punishes. This can only be followed-up by OTG 6A if this hits late.

Projectile
A projectile that causes a cinematic. The projectile is slow but could be used on some hard reads against zoners, though 236236P is preferable for this purpose. While the damage is high, the corner carry and oki from Yashiro's level 2 supers are generally more valuable, so saving your meter for those can usually be worth it unless this will kill.
The projectile generally beats any other projectile in the game including supers like Maxima's beam and Ryo/Robert super. It can still be erased by Vanessa 623A and loses to projectile counters like Kula's and Whip's, but will hit any opponent attempting to do a reflect.
