Introduction

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.

Gameplay Overview

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 normal moves. Yashiro is a great character to pick up when learning the fundamentals of KOF, and can function anywhere on a team.

Normals

Far A

  • Special/Super cancelable
  • 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.

Far B

  • Chains from light 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. Chains from A normals, making for easy Max confirms.

Far C

  • Special/Super Cancellable.

A far reaching punch that's cancelable. 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.

Far D

  • 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 a much higher whiff recovery, so the commitment is higher. It also whiffs on crouchers. Still effective, but must be used more carefully, such as against opponents who hop in neutral frequently.

A close-hitting knee. This normal has the best frame advantage on block out of Yashiro's moveset. Use this for setting up frame traps into 2B or 2C. It also links into c.C and 2C, allowing for strong combos. Does not chain into other normals, but does chain from A normals.

80 Low command 6 5 13 +3 +1 - 70 120
  • Special/Super Cancellable.

A standard close kick. Doesn't hit low. Although slower than c.C, this is Yashiro's highest damage starter, so use to punish over c.C when possible. Plus on block interestingly, but hard to make use of due to pushback, other than a f.B.

A crouching jab. Like Yashiro's f.A, this has good range for a 2A, leading to the same advantages. Chains into itself and other A and B normals, making for easy light confirms. Neutral on block, allowing for stagger pressure.

  • Special/Super Cancellable.

A heavy uppercut. This is Yashiro's go-to anti air for most situations. It has a small blind spot behind Yashiro's head so be careful. This frame traps and links from c.B, and the lack of a proximity requirement like close normals can make this more consistent than c.C. Bad on block so make sure to cancel this.

Crouch D

A spinning sweep. Great range and cancelable, but very bad if not canceled. Pester opponents with this, then mix in hops to establish a simple mix-up at midscreen.

Command Moves

Regret Bash
6A
Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv
70 90 - - - - -
  • Overhead.

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. 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.


Step Side Kick
6B

- - - - - - -

A step kick. Has a lot of range and is cancelable giving it potential use in neutral, but its speed holds it back. It's very useful in combos however; does more damage than 6A and functions the same when canceled from heavies, and also can be used in juggles.

Special Moves

Missile Might Bash
214A/C
Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv
- - - - - - -

A rapid series of punches. A version combos from lights and C version combos from heavies. C version allows for small juggles in the corner. EX version launches much higher, opening up further combos. Has no neutral use, and is unsafe on block.


Upper Duel
623A/C
Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv
- - - - - - -

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. The EX version is the best of both worlds, having fast startup and frame 1 armor. Note that all versions lose to lows.


Jet Counter
41236A/C
Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv
- - - - - - -

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 A version is quick and combos from heavies. It's negative on block, but the pushback is enough to be safe in most circumstances. The C version is slower which can act as a frame trap when canceled. It is also safer on block. The EX version is the best of both worlds, being fast and neutral on block. 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.


Jet Counter Still
236A/C after Jet Counter
Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv
- - - - - - -

236 A = A straight punch ender to 41236 P. Not noteworthy, as it does less damage than the 236 C 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 426 P, but as it's still -10 it's not the best option. If you didn't confirm the 426 P hitting, such as when you are using it raw or in a frame trap with the C version, you can try using this to fish for a super cancel. When used after 41236 AC, the move is completely safe, and knocks down.

236 C = An uppercut ender to 41236 P. Very unsafe, but does more damage and connects into supers just as well as the 236 A follow up. Since you should ideally should be hit confirming the 41236 P, this will be the preferred ender. When used after 41236 AC, you get a higher launch, allowing for further combos.


Sledgehammer
214B/D
Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv
- - - - - - -

A leaping overhead. 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. The EX version has projectile invincibility, is only -5 on block, and allows for a juggle after, which makes it more useful.

Super Special Moves

Final Impact
236236A/C

A powerful punch super. Can be charged, though the damage does not increase. Has no invincibility; use only for combos. Can be followed up with an OTG 6A.


Variable Bash Stream
236236B/D

A rushing super. Does more damage than 236236P in most circumstances. Has invincibility on start up. Can be followed up with an OTG 6A.


Ultimate Billion Bash
2141236CD
Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv

A projectile that causes a cinematic. The projectile is slow but could be used on some hard reads against zoners. Considering the cost however, this is generally not worth it.
