Yumeji is a headswap of [[Samurai Shodown VI/Ukyo|Ukyo]] who expands on his zoning-oriented Bust moveset from Samurai Shodown III and IV. This character was a sub-boss in Samurai Shodown V who could transform into the likenesses of existing characters for certain special moves, but in VI these have been exchanged for practical keepaway options and combo tools. While [[Samurai Shodown VI/Ukyo|Ukyo]] would use his long range buttons and devastating punish tools to lead into his vortex, Yumeji couples them with a slow-but-advantageous ground fireball, a fast, arced air fireball and some far-reaching combo tools to keep the distance. Both characters excel at hit-and-run, but each to different ends.
Yumeji is a headswap of [[Samurai Shodown VI/Ukyo|Ukyo]] who draws from Ukyo's Samurai Shodown III/IV Bust moveset. Yumeji trades out Ukyo's specials and floaty jump for better air mobility and varied specials that suit a very well rounded hit and run game. The two share many normals, but Yumeji's frame data is tweaked to better suit a midrange poking game. Yumeji has excellent tech chases off most soft knockdowns, reliable meaty setups off hard knockdowns, solid pressure, and a potent neutral game with good pokes and recoil cancels, a long reaching overhead, and an air fireball series.

==Gameplan==
==Gameplan==
Yumeji has a unique blend of both grounded and aerial keep away that is backed by strong mixup with his high/low game and stabilized by an exceptional frame trap fireball.
Yumeji is a keepaway character with an assortment of ranged pokes, recoil cancel options and fireballs to cover different ranges and angles. This variation of [[Samurai Shodown VI/Ukyo|Ukyo]] retains his fast run speed and backdash but has a faster jump which makes air poking much more viable. However, much like [[Samurai Shodown VI/Ukyo|Ukyo]], Yumeji's defense is below average to compensate for the strong zoning tools you're working with.
His normals all have great reach and damage to them. His close light slash is a strong safe frame trap. His crouching medium slash is an anti air that covers a large arc above him, his standing medium slash is a great poke, and his running medium slash is a two hit move that special cancels on the first hit. His standing heavy slash is a long reaching punishing button that recoil cancels, but his far crouching medium slash is terrible and should never be used. If you're going for a clear punish then always do running heavy slash because it has the same reach as standing heavy but it trades recoil cancelling in order to knock down which lets you set up their fireball oki.
Learn the spacings for 5B and 5C, as they are your best pokes. Both are fast, reach incredibly far and recoil on block. If you are expecting the opponent to block your 5B, 5A may be used instead to recoil cancel faster. Yumeji's fastest recoil cancel options are 214S and 421A/B ~A/B. If you've conditioned the opponent to respect you, there's also 236S to press an advantage or 623S as a mixup option if spaced properly. Up close, Yumeji's lights can be used as strong, safe pressure tools, given they are fast and have good recovery. As for anti-airing, Yumeji has 2B, jC and, most importantly, Concealed Sabre Firefly (j1236S). Firefly is an air fireball which comes out extremely fast and covers different trajectories for each strength, which couples nicely with Yumeji's relatively fast jumps to take full control of the skies. By backdash cancelling into it, Firefly also provides Yumeji even more ground control and anti-air potential.
Yumeji's specials are some of the strongest in the game. His fireball is too slow to use for zoning but is so plus on hit that it combos into anything he can do, even Hyper Slash. It is his strongest special because of it's setplay and frame trap use. You must NEVER do this move grounded or you will at best lose ground or at worst be counter hit by a jumping heavy and he is already takes 15% more damage than the average character.
Firefly's sheer speed means that, much like [[Samurai Shodown VI/Ukyo|Ukyo]]'s Tsubame Gaeshi, it can be used to punish close medium slashes up close. It doesn't hit overhead, though - close range vortexes are his thing. As for other punish options, Yumeji retains [[Samurai Shodown VI/Ukyo|Ukyo]]'s excellent run speed and fast, far-reaching 66C, but also adds 66B to the mix, which can be special cancelled on the first hit. 66C is an ideal punish option at all times, as Yumeji is designed to play hit-and run at the tip of its range, and the knockdown it provides leads nicely into setplay with Concealed Sabre Solar Flame (236S), a ground fireball. While Firefly is a fast, arced fireball with limited range, Solar Flame travels quickly in a straight line, but the startup is dreadful. Yumeji needs space to set this up, but the reward is well worth it. While Firefly only provides a knockdown, which is still useful, Solar Flame grants incredible frame advantage if it connects. On hit, Yumeji can very easily pick up with 66B or 66C for a knockdown. On block, the choice is yours to either run away or zone in for a mixup, which should depend on how close you are to the corner given Yumeji's propensity for running away. Tick throws and shimmies are very useful here, especially given Yumeji's fast ground speeds across the board. Given the potential ground to be lost during the startup and how not even the heavy version reaches fullscreen, Solar Flame is a lot more useful for setplay than it is for straight zoning. Oral Tradition Snow Wind (421A/B ~A/B) can potentially be used for zoning as well, but given the wait before your followups come out, its bad recovery and tricky angles, it is advised to save that move for combos, where its range and angles make it excel.
His 623 slash is a move with three different uses: light frame trap that can land counter hits into heavies, medium front slash for knockdown, or heavy crossup slash for knockdown. All three versions can be thrown, and if the heavy isn't a crossup it won't land at all. This move isn't exactly a reversal but it can phase through many moves during it's ghost frames, making it a mixup tool though it is a gimmick if the opponent is patient and eventually they will figure this out.
Up close, Yumeji has some mixup potential, although not as devastating at [[Samurai Shodown VI/Ukyo|Ukyo]]'s from all ranges. Concealed Sabre Ephemeral Shadow (623S) is a series of shadow slashes consisting of a frame trap which can link into heavies, a forward-hitting knockdown and a crossup-hitting knockdown. These are effective recoil options up close, although they can be thrown. In lieu of Tsubame Gaeshi, there's also 6B, a modest overhead which has to be spaced lest it be thrown or punished on hit, and a decent assortment of low-hitting kicks to back it up. When not running away, Yumeji can lead into this safely when running behind a Solar Flame, which is even scarier in the corner. At that range, Yumeji can time Solar Flame so it hits the opponent if they don't tech, but in such a way that if they do tech, Yumeji can tech chase with 66C or Firefly for short rolls and a throw for long rolls. On a side note, Yumeji should never pursuit an opponent unless it is guaranteed to kill, as it wastes time which could be spent timing a meaty Solar Flame or otherwise buying space.
His 421A/B is a two part move with four different angles. The first hit is always safe, the A version launches on hit. The second part will always be unsafe. This move is a powerful tool because of the speed at which it comes out, allowing it to break armor on an opponent attempting to wakeup with Hyper Slash after they block your fireball. (Try counter hit setups, show all angles). The light version's first hit can set up unburstable Issen combos. If you're using the move during normal combos be sure to do the medium version because the light can miss on many crouching characters. The light however does launch them far into the air which gives you ample oki time, especially for System 5 meditate into fireball maintenance.
==Spirits==
Another application of this move is to punish long-range whiffs on high recovery moves because of the speed and reach of it. 421 medium into medium will get the job done. When performing this move you must choose between frame trapping them or the full input. There is not enough time between both slashes to choose. Learn to use this move to the best of your ability because it is one of their best and enhances ther keepaway game.
* I greatly increases Yumeji's damage output during Rage, which plays favorably to such a long Rage duration. Yumeji's Hyper Slash also has good range. However, it offers no defensive or mobility options, bars access to Yumeji's good supers, and Yumeji's Hyper Slash damage is 5th weakest in the game.
Firefly is another powerful move Yumeji can utilize. You may recognize this as Ukyo's original Tsubame Gaeshi nightmare move from SamSho 2. You lose the overhead property as well as the slash itself but exchange it for more than a few positive traits. For one, it is mostly safe assuming you do not do this move as high as possible. Always use it as air to air, to adjust your jump and avoid a move, always tiger knee it, or always use it as a backdash cancel. It comes out at a blinding speed and can punish some things that even a light slash would fail to do effectively because Firefly will knock them down and gain you distance to resume keepaway.
* II enhances Yumeji's Weapon Flip by breaking the opponent's weapon, offering an extended window to press momentum. It also grants access to your Secret Move once per game. Rolls, ducks, and hops give Yumeji a variety of defensive options, and rolls also enhance Yumeji's mobility.
You can link crouching kick into Firefly but it's not a high low mixup just a niche combo. You'd be better off throwing or attempting another combo for more damage.
* III lets Yumeji charge Rage manually and grants infinite Rage at very low HP. Poor Rage retention means the charging process is slow. Dodge offers a standard grounded defensive option. Air parry is niche given Yumeji's other air options, but may have occasional utility.
Yumeji becomes impossible to run at and safely approach when you know how to cover all of his angles. His Firefly anti air is evasive, they can punish whiffs easily with multiple moves, and even when you do get in close his best combos end with throwing you away from him.
* IV's signature Continuous Slash offers Yumeji an alternative combo starter for increased damage or a modest Rage boost. IV shares dodge as a defensive option with III Spirit, and offers Rage Explosion + Issen as a last ditch defensive threat.
Yumeji has no problem backing himself into the corner because of his solid defensive moves. His crouching far medium slash covers a wide angle and his standing medium/heavy slashes keep the opponent on their toes.
* V downplays Yumeji's supers, but ample opportunity to meditate, good high/low options that don't knock down, and an unburstable launcher make Yumeji's State of Nothingness game very threatening. V also builds on II's dodges and rolls with an excellent forward hop. Rage Explosion is available as a defensive option, but without access to Issen. Reduced Rage time emphasizes meditation, but Yumeji does have good base Rage duration when Rage is preferable to further meditation.
Against a cornered opponent Yumeji has some of the best and safest setplay in the game, ranking below Hanzo, Genjuro, Amakusa, and Rimururu which is nothing short of the best setplay.
* VI ensures reliable access to WFT thanks to its unique Rage system. Repeated access to Yumeji's Secret Move at low HP offers an additional high damage confirm, and even combos from Yumeji's 5A. Mikiri dodges are very strong defensive options that also give earlier access to Secret Move, and Hyper Guard can push the opponent away to restart Yumeji's gameplan.
Every oki begins with his fireball if they don't roll away, in the event they do roll away you can chase tech with running heavy slash or throw.

'''Concealed Sabre Firefly''' - j1236S
===Concealed Sabre Firefly===
*Remember how [[Samurai Shodown VI/Ukyo|Ukyo]]'s Tsubame Gaeshi used to spawn a fireball while also being an overhead? While [[Samurai Shodown VI/Ukyo|Ukyo]] has ditched the fireball since III, Yumeji has adopted it while abandoning the overhead hit. Furthermore while the fireball retains the same V-shaped arc (strength determining the angle it flies upward) it no longer travels fullscreen, reaching a little farther than your 5C at most before dying out. However, this move is still very much useful not only for the angles it covers but for its near-instant startup, in addition to the air practicalities of a standard Tsubame Gaeshi (you can either TK it or cancel your backdash into it, the latter being useful as a keepaway option as it stuffs whatever angle of approach your opponent is rushing you down from). When zoning you will often have to decide between 236S's range and damage potential versus j1236S's speed and upward geometry.
{{FrameDataCargo-SSVI
*When tiger knee'd, this move is amazing as a close-ranged punish tool for its speed, range and the knockdown it gives. This is capable of punishing blocked attacks which most other characters can only punish with a throw, if theirs can even reach. Because Yumeji doesn't stop to cough at the end like [[Samurai Shodown VI/Ukyo|Ukyo]] does, if this is performed far enough then it may be hard for the opponent to meaningfully punish you depending on the matchup.
*If you expect your opponent to short roll on wakeup then TK j1236S will hit their recovery. From the same spacing however the fireball will dissipate just out of reach for catching long rolls, which do not have strike vulnerability on their recovery anyway. However, the opponent long rolling is ultimately better for you not only spacing-wise but also because it allows you to set up 236S safely.

However, this move is still very much useful not only for the angles it covers, but for its near-instant startup. In addition to normal air usage, Yumeji can use cancel backdash into Firefly to better cover ground space.
*A begins traveling upwards very early, B travels in a nearly horizontal arc, and C dips below Yumeji before rising upwards slightly late in its arc.
*While its fast startup is potentially appealing as a punish tool, Firefly deals significantly less damage than Tsubame Gaeshi. Fast grounded options are generally preferable. Likewise, the 1f link from 2D is much lower reward and no longer has a high component to potentially catch opponents. Backdash cancels can still serve as a situational antiair.
*Minus on block even at max range, but generally safe when spaced.

'''Concealed Sabre Snowdust Flash''' - 214S
===Concealed Sabre Snowdust Flash===
*Practical recoil cancel option with roughly the same range as your 2A, also a possible far anti-air for its vertical reach. This is similar to [[Samurai Shodown VI/Ukyo|Ukyo]]'s apple slice but instead of multiple independent hits it is a hitgrab akin to [[Samurai Shodown VI/Yoshitora|Yoshitora]]'s Asagao (furthermore you're throwing a persimmon instead of an apple). Strength determines its active frames and number of hits if it connects.

*There is no fakeout version of this move.
*Each version has more hits than the corresponding version of Ukyo's 214S, as well as increased startup. Stronger versions have more startup and worse frame advantage on block. Even 214A won't combo from most hits, and 214B/C will not fully connect on block. The longer duration may catch opponents off guard if used sparingly.
*The high number of hits makes it useful for chip kills after a knockdown.
*Yumeji can meaty with 236S after any 214S hit, forcing the opponent to block on wakeup or else give Yumeji a combo:
**Midscreen, forward jump or roll into 236A. Allow the roll to fully recover rather than roll canceling. This also sets up a good spacing for 6B mixups.
**In corner, neutral/back jump or backroll into whichever 236S is appropriate for the spacing. Again, if rolling allow it to fully recover.
*Alternatively, any version leads to a guaranteed pursuit. Requires a microdash if midscreen.

*Concealed with the morphing effect from V, Yumeji dashes forward then swipes at the opponent. All three versions have significant startup, but gain strike invulnerability when Yumeji disappears on frame 18. Situationally useful as a recoil cancel to beat opponents mashing, particularly on 5C.
*623A is +9 on hit, linking into many of Yumeji's faster normals as well as Continuous Slash. Somewhat safe on block when spaced, especially if the opponent crouch blocks. However, all 623S variants hit mid. Loses invulnerability shortly before it hits.
*623B acts like a single hit version of 66B and launches the opponent. Reaches slightly further than 623A. Yumeji can also combo off this, and once again loses invulnerability shortly before it hits.
*623C is the slowest of the three and hits crossup, similar to Ukyo 66B but slower. Does not allow for followup attacks on hit. More punishable than 623A/B. Remains strike invulnerable until after active frames end.
*Concealed with the morphing effect from V, Yumeji dashes forward then swipes at the opponent. This is your replacement for [[Samurai Shodown VI/Ukyo|Ukyo]]'s 66B in that the heavy version is a crossup, but it's nowhere near as fast. Theoretically useful as a recoil option if you've conditioned your opponent not to hit buttons, as all versions have a lengthy, telegraphed startup. Otherwise use sparingly, as you're better off sticking to keepaway rather than trying to shmix with Yumeji.

*Long-ranged attacks with followups that lead to knockdowns. As this is your fastest grounded special, it is also your main combo ender. The initial attacks both have relatively low recovery, though the followups are much more committal.
*421A is an upwards hitting launcher. This can antiair and will juggle into the followups on air hit. Whiffs against crouching opponents and small standing hurtboxes, especially if not point blank. As a launcher, opponents cannot Rage Explosion after 421A hits. Can clash and is vulnerable to deflect.
*421B is a low downwards strike. This is relatively safe on block as a recoil cancel and can check opponents stand blocking. Yumeji's primary special for combos and an important recoil cancel option as well.
*The optional second hit reaches not only farther but either higher (A) or lower (B). On hit, A will knock the opponent further away, while B will keep them closer. Both versions have much higher recovery than the first hit and are very unsafe. It can be delayed a little to frame trap. The B followup will hit low if cancelled into from 421B, but from 421A it will hit overhead. Limited coverage and high recovery makes the followups generally ill-suited for zoning, but they can be used for a ranged mixup on knockdown or after an air hit.
*421A~A deals more damage than the other combinations and is a good antiair option. It gives good frame advantage on hit, but knocks the opponent far away. 421B~B gives the best oki, with the opponent left at close range for easy tech chases. 421B~A has comparable frame advantage to 421B~B, but launches the opponent away. 421A~B knocks the opponent down rather than launching them, resulting in the worst oki.
*The cancel timing for followups differs depending on hit/block/whiff. The timing for cancels on hit is distinct from the other two scenarios. This can be used to option select followups on hit. Repeating the followup input improves consistency if desiring to cancel regardless of the initial attack's outcome.
*If an opponent attempts to use Hyper Slash to deal with your pressure after Solar Flame, this move's two hits can be used to break its armor. However, given the bad recovery, it's probably best to go for a throw instead.

'''Oral Tradition Snow Wind''' - 421A/B~A/B
===Toy Transformation===
*This move is a long-ranged attack which has followups that lead to knockdowns. Be mindful that the input window for the followups is quite small. The first hit is either a launcher which reaches upwards (A) or a low-hitting downward strike (B), both of which are fairly safe. The optional next hit reaches not only farther but either higher (A) or lower (B). As this is your fastest grounded special it is also your combo ender. 421A~A deals more damage than the other versions, which then all deal the same amount of damage, but 421A whiffs on crouching opponents. For this reason 421B is preferred for consistency, in which you may decide to either knock your opponent away from you for keepaway (421B~A) or to keep them closer for okizeme (421B~B).
{{FrameDataCargo-SSVI

*'''2D, j1236A''' - High risk 1f link for low reward. Not recommended.
*'''623A/B, 66C''' - Confirm from 623S hits. Remember that 623C does not allow followups.
*'''623A, 2B 421S~S''' - Close range followup to 623A.
*'''236S, 66X''' - Ground fireball's hitstun is long enough to follow up with a dashing normal, or anything else that will reach.
*'''421A, 66C''' - Also a 1f link, but minimal risk and good reward. Deals comparable damage to 421A~A but as a confirm.
*'''421A, 2A''' - Point blank 421A can also set up an air reset with 2A. This can cancel into 421S~S for a mixup on landing, 236C for pressure (does not hit meaty), or Yumeji can simply run in to start pressure. Replacing 2A with n5A in the corner sets up meaty 6B/6D mix, but bear in mind this leaves Yumeji punishable after 6B if point blank.

'''IV Spirit'''
*'''A+B BBC/AABBC 421A/B ~A/B''' - Continuous Slash punishes. For the CS2 juggle, 421A ~A/B is most consistent.

*'''A+B BBC 214A''' - Corner only.
*'''623A, A+B''' - Continuous Slash will link at any spacing unless 623A catches an extended hurtbox, but the followups aren't as reliable at max range. CS4 is the best option when spaced; the first A followup will likely whiff and must quickly cancel into the second A followup. On CS2 the third (C) followup may whiff at max range.
*'''66B 421A/A+B BBC/A+B AABBC 421A, ABC''' Juggles into Fatal Flash. 66B 421A juggles earliest and is thus the least vulnerable to Rage Explosion, but is character specific when used midscreen. The CS4 route is also Yumeji's most damaging Issen confirm in IV Spirit; omitting 421A is a marginal reduction in damage if pressed for time.
*Viable alternative to WFT as a combo tool. The first hit's range is roughly the same as your 2A's. This deals slightly more damage than 236AB, but instead of sideswitching it pushes the opponent far away.

Yumeji is a headswap of Ukyo who draws from Ukyo's Samurai Shodown III/IV Bust moveset. Yumeji trades out Ukyo's specials and floaty jump for better air mobility and varied specials that suit a very well rounded hit and run game. The two share many normals, but Yumeji's frame data is tweaked to better suit a midrange poking game. Yumeji has excellent tech chases off most soft knockdowns, reliable meaty setups off hard knockdowns, solid pressure, and a potent neutral game with good pokes and recoil cancels, a long reaching overhead, and an air fireball series.
Data
Dash type: Run
Damage taken: 115% (4th Frailest)
Rage retention: 90
Rage duration: 15 seconds (4th Longest)
Gameplan
Yumeji is a keepaway character with an assortment of ranged pokes, recoil cancel options and fireballs to cover different ranges and angles. This variation of Ukyo retains his fast run speed and backdash but has a faster jump which makes air poking much more viable. However, much like Ukyo, Yumeji's defense is below average to compensate for the strong zoning tools you're working with.
Learn the spacings for 5B and 5C, as they are your best pokes. Both are fast, reach incredibly far and recoil on block. If you are expecting the opponent to block your 5B, 5A may be used instead to recoil cancel faster. Yumeji's fastest recoil cancel options are 214S and 421A/B ~A/B. If you've conditioned the opponent to respect you, there's also 236S to press an advantage or 623S as a mixup option if spaced properly. Up close, Yumeji's lights can be used as strong, safe pressure tools, given they are fast and have good recovery. As for anti-airing, Yumeji has 2B, jC and, most importantly, Concealed Sabre Firefly (j1236S). Firefly is an air fireball which comes out extremely fast and covers different trajectories for each strength, which couples nicely with Yumeji's relatively fast jumps to take full control of the skies. By backdash cancelling into it, Firefly also provides Yumeji even more ground control and anti-air potential.
Firefly's sheer speed means that, much like Ukyo's Tsubame Gaeshi, it can be used to punish close medium slashes up close. It doesn't hit overhead, though - close range vortexes are his thing. As for other punish options, Yumeji retains Ukyo's excellent run speed and fast, far-reaching 66C, but also adds 66B to the mix, which can be special cancelled on the first hit. 66C is an ideal punish option at all times, as Yumeji is designed to play hit-and run at the tip of its range, and the knockdown it provides leads nicely into setplay with Concealed Sabre Solar Flame (236S), a ground fireball. While Firefly is a fast, arced fireball with limited range, Solar Flame travels quickly in a straight line, but the startup is dreadful. Yumeji needs space to set this up, but the reward is well worth it. While Firefly only provides a knockdown, which is still useful, Solar Flame grants incredible frame advantage if it connects. On hit, Yumeji can very easily pick up with 66B or 66C for a knockdown. On block, the choice is yours to either run away or zone in for a mixup, which should depend on how close you are to the corner given Yumeji's propensity for running away. Tick throws and shimmies are very useful here, especially given Yumeji's fast ground speeds across the board. Given the potential ground to be lost during the startup and how not even the heavy version reaches fullscreen, Solar Flame is a lot more useful for setplay than it is for straight zoning. Oral Tradition Snow Wind (421A/B ~A/B) can potentially be used for zoning as well, but given the wait before your followups come out, its bad recovery and tricky angles, it is advised to save that move for combos, where its range and angles make it excel.
Up close, Yumeji has some mixup potential, although not as devastating at Ukyo's from all ranges. Concealed Sabre Ephemeral Shadow (623S) is a series of shadow slashes consisting of a frame trap which can link into heavies, a forward-hitting knockdown and a crossup-hitting knockdown. These are effective recoil options up close, although they can be thrown. In lieu of Tsubame Gaeshi, there's also 6B, a modest overhead which has to be spaced lest it be thrown or punished on hit, and a decent assortment of low-hitting kicks to back it up. When not running away, Yumeji can lead into this safely when running behind a Solar Flame, which is even scarier in the corner. At that range, Yumeji can time Solar Flame so it hits the opponent if they don't tech, but in such a way that if they do tech, Yumeji can tech chase with 66C or Firefly for short rolls and a throw for long rolls. On a side note, Yumeji should never pursuit an opponent unless it is guaranteed to kill, as it wastes time which could be spent timing a meaty Solar Flame or otherwise buying space.
Spirits
I greatly increases Yumeji's damage output during Rage, which plays favorably to such a long Rage duration. Yumeji's Hyper Slash also has good range. However, it offers no defensive or mobility options, bars access to Yumeji's good supers, and Yumeji's Hyper Slash damage is 5th weakest in the game.
II enhances Yumeji's Weapon Flip by breaking the opponent's weapon, offering an extended window to press momentum. It also grants access to your Secret Move once per game. Rolls, ducks, and hops give Yumeji a variety of defensive options, and rolls also enhance Yumeji's mobility.
III lets Yumeji charge Rage manually and grants infinite Rage at very low HP. Poor Rage retention means the charging process is slow. Dodge offers a standard grounded defensive option. Air parry is niche given Yumeji's other air options, but may have occasional utility.
IV's signature Continuous Slash offers Yumeji an alternative combo starter for increased damage or a modest Rage boost. IV shares dodge as a defensive option with III Spirit, and offers Rage Explosion + Issen as a last ditch defensive threat.
V downplays Yumeji's supers, but ample opportunity to meditate, good high/low options that don't knock down, and an unburstable launcher make Yumeji's State of Nothingness game very threatening. V also builds on II's dodges and rolls with an excellent forward hop. Rage Explosion is available as a defensive option, but without access to Issen. Reduced Rage time emphasizes meditation, but Yumeji does have good base Rage duration when Rage is preferable to further meditation.
VI ensures reliable access to WFT thanks to its unique Rage system. Repeated access to Yumeji's Secret Move at low HP offers an additional high damage confirm, and even combos from Yumeji's 5A. Mikiri dodges are very strong defensive options that also give earlier access to Secret Move, and Hyper Guard can push the opponent away to restart Yumeji's gameplan.

A quick horizontal slash with moderate range. An excellent punish starter and confirm from deephits, backhits, and 623A. Leads to good damage with either C2 or C4. Full C4 builds a modest amount of Rage, but Yumeji often prefers to special cancel from C2 (BBC) or partial C4 (AABBC). Combos are inconsistent when spaced, as some followup hits have less range than the initial slash.

Bust-Ukyo's fast-travelling fireball, but the startup is much slower. Strength determines the range before it dissipates, with 236A reaching about 5C's length away from you and 236C reaching nearly the whole screen. In return for its lengthy startup, this move is advantageous enough that it can link into your dashing attacks or anything else that can reach, or lead nicely into tick throws and other mixup options on block. Far too slow to zone effectively, but useful for setplay.

Remember how Ukyo's Tsubame Gaeshi used to spawn a fireball while also being an overhead? While Ukyo has ditched the fireball since III, Yumeji has adopted it while abandoning the overhead hit. While the fireball retains the same V-shaped arc it no longer travels fullscreen, reaching a little further than 5C at most before dying out. However, this move is still very much useful not only for the angles it covers, but for its near-instant startup. In addition to normal air usage, Yumeji can use cancel backdash into Firefly to better cover ground space.
A begins traveling upwards very early, B travels in a nearly horizontal arc, and C dips below Yumeji before rising upwards slightly late in its arc.
While its fast startup is potentially appealing as a punish tool, Firefly deals significantly less damage than Tsubame Gaeshi. Fast grounded options are generally preferable. Likewise, the 1f link from 2D is much lower reward and no longer has a high component to potentially catch opponents. Backdash cancels can still serve as a situational antiair.
Minus on block even at max range, but generally safe when spaced.

A recoil cancel option with roughly the same range as 2A. Also a possible far anti-air for its vertical reach. This is similar to Ukyo's apple slice, but instead of multiple independent hits it is a hitgrab akin to Yoshitora's Asagao (furthermore, you're throwing a persimmon instead of an apple, if it makes a difference). Strength determines its active frames and number of hits if it connects. Causes untechable knockdown.
There is no fakeout version of this move.
Each version has more hits than the corresponding version of Ukyo's 214S, as well as increased startup. Stronger versions have more startup and worse frame advantage on block. Even 214A won't combo from most hits, and 214B/C will not fully connect on block. The longer duration may catch opponents off guard if used sparingly.
The high number of hits makes it useful for chip kills after a knockdown.
Yumeji can meaty with 236S after any 214S hit, forcing the opponent to block on wakeup or else give Yumeji a combo:
Midscreen, forward jump or roll into 236A. Allow the roll to fully recover rather than roll canceling. This also sets up a good spacing for 6B mixups.
In corner, neutral/back jump or backroll into whichever 236S is appropriate for the spacing. Again, if rolling allow it to fully recover.
Alternatively, any version leads to a guaranteed pursuit. Requires a microdash if midscreen.

Concealed with the morphing effect from V, Yumeji dashes forward then swipes at the opponent. All three versions have significant startup, but gain strike invulnerability when Yumeji disappears on frame 18. Situationally useful as a recoil cancel to beat opponents mashing, particularly on 5C.
623A is +9 on hit, linking into many of Yumeji's faster normals as well as Continuous Slash. Somewhat safe on block when spaced, especially if the opponent crouch blocks. However, all 623S variants hit mid. Loses invulnerability shortly before it hits.
623B acts like a single hit version of 66B and launches the opponent. Reaches slightly further than 623A. Yumeji can also combo off this, and once again loses invulnerability shortly before it hits.
623C is the slowest of the three and hits crossup, similar to Ukyo 66B but slower. Does not allow for followup attacks on hit. More punishable than 623A/B. Remains strike invulnerable until after active frames end.

Long-ranged attacks with followups that lead to knockdowns. As this is your fastest grounded special, it is also your main combo ender. The initial attacks both have relatively low recovery, though the followups are much more committal.
421A is an upwards hitting launcher. This can antiair and will juggle into the followups on air hit. Whiffs against crouching opponents and small standing hurtboxes, especially if not point blank. As a launcher, opponents cannot Rage Explosion after 421A hits. Can clash and is vulnerable to deflect.
421B is a low downwards strike. This is relatively safe on block as a recoil cancel and can check opponents stand blocking. Yumeji's primary special for combos and an important recoil cancel option as well.
The optional second hit reaches not only farther but either higher (A) or lower (B). On hit, A will knock the opponent further away, while B will keep them closer. Both versions have much higher recovery than the first hit and are very unsafe. It can be delayed a little to frame trap. The B followup will hit low if cancelled into from 421B, but from 421A it will hit overhead. Limited coverage and high recovery makes the followups generally ill-suited for zoning, but they can be used for a ranged mixup on knockdown or after an air hit.
421A~A deals more damage than the other combinations and is a good antiair option. It gives good frame advantage on hit, but knocks the opponent far away. 421B~B gives the best oki, with the opponent left at close range for easy tech chases. 421B~A has comparable frame advantage to 421B~B, but launches the opponent away. 421A~B knocks the opponent down rather than launching them, resulting in the worst oki.
The cancel timing for followups differs depending on hit/block/whiff. The timing for cancels on hit is distinct from the other two scenarios. This can be used to option select followups on hit. Repeating the followup input improves consistency if desiring to cancel regardless of the initial attack's outcome.
If an opponent attempts to use Hyper Slash to deal with your pressure after Solar Flame, this move's two hits can be used to break its armor. However, given the bad recovery, it's probably best to go for a throw instead.

Bust-Ukyo's WFT. Fast startup and travels fullscreen quickly. While it can be used as a standalone punish because of this, this WFT is best used as a combo ender where it is guaranteed to hit. Will sideswitch and leave the opponent close to Yumeji in a hard knockdown.

Viable alternative to WFT as a combo tool. The first hit's range is roughly the same as 5B. This deals slightly more damage than 236AB, but instead of sideswitching it pushes the opponent far away. First hit into the remaining hits is not a true blockstring.
Combos
Standard Combos
n5B/n2B/66B/5D 421S~S/236AB - Combos starting from medium slashes.
2D, n5A/n2A/3D/6D - 2D followups with varying levels of risk/reward. n5A can combo into WFT.
2D, j1236A - High risk 1f link for low reward. Not recommended.
623A/B, 66C - Confirm from 623S hits. Remember that 623C does not allow followups.
623A, 2B 421S~S - Close range followup to 623A.
236S, 66X - Ground fireball's hitstun is long enough to follow up with a dashing normal, or anything else that will reach.
421A, 66C - Also a 1f link, but minimal risk and good reward. Deals comparable damage to 421A~A but as a confirm.
421A, 2A - Point blank 421A can also set up an air reset with 2A. This can cancel into 421S~S for a mixup on landing, 236C for pressure (does not hit meaty), or Yumeji can simply run in to start pressure. Replacing 2A with n5A in the corner sets up meaty 6B/6D mix, but bear in mind this leaves Yumeji punishable after 6B if point blank.
ch 2C, 66C/6D/n2B 421S~S - Counterhit 2C confirms for different spacings and commitment. Somewhat tight link, especially 66C.
Hyper Slash (I)
236S A+B - Will only combo around the tip of 236A's range. If you're actually fishing for this in a match for some reason, don't try it anywhere else or it will get you killed. It will probably get you killed, anyway.
IV Spirit
A+B BBC/AABBC 421A/B ~A/B - Continuous Slash punishes. For the CS2 juggle, 421A ~A/B is most consistent.
A+B BBC/AABBC 236AB - Continuous Slash into WFT.
A+B BBC 214A - Corner only.
623A, A+B - Continuous Slash will link at any spacing unless 623A catches an extended hurtbox, but the followups aren't as reliable at max range. CS4 is the best option when spaced; the first A followup will likely whiff and must quickly cancel into the second A followup. On CS2 the third (C) followup may whiff at max range.
66B 421A/A+B BBC/A+B AABBC 421A, ABC Juggles into Fatal Flash. 66B 421A juggles earliest and is thus the least vulnerable to Rage Explosion, but is character specific when used midscreen. The CS4 route is also Yumeji's most damaging Issen confirm in IV Spirit; omitting 421A is a marginal reduction in damage if pressed for time.
State Of Nothingness (V)
6B, ... ABC - Conversion from overhead into Fatal Flash. Be careful not to link grounded heavies together in the filler. jB may be used as an instant overhead instead if the opponent's crouching hurtbox is large enough.
421A ABC - Launcher into Issen. Immune to Rage Explosion if the opponent is using IV/V Spirit, but has short range. 421A will not hit most crouching opponents after 6B.
