Orochi Yashiro is a grappler with a set of great long range normals, especially st.B and j.D. These let him control space and lock the opponents movement down so he can go in and start his mixups. Once in he has access to multiple mixup options like lows, an overhead and 3 command grabs. The most powerful of them is his hcf+P which has invincible startup and he has multiple setups and mixup options out of it. His weaknesses include a lack of safe specials to cancel into, a lack of a dedicated anti jump tool and a lack of meterless far range options.
