Only for Yoda. I bring this up for the simple fact from playing TvC I've noticed not 1 but 2 characters that change the way the game play drastically and are not banned-
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD LIGHTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
and
PTX-40A Chevy
Neither character can be grabbed...
Eh bout the only generic SA thread not made for Yoda yet. . .So let's talk Yoda. . .set-ups and such
236BBBBBB seems non AC in some juggles, and AC in others. .
6B beats out a lot of moves. . and if he whiffs it he's safe against anything that's not a low or move that makes ground...

Tournament was alright. Dual consoles was pretty bad. . .and the fact everyone thought SK Was banned confused me. . .
Alright let's talk vs. character.
I'm going to get some practice this weekend with him so I'll have a better understanding of how good he is against some characters.
Really though I don't see any match-up that'd be really that bad for him. SK would be somewhat hard since his grabs would be...
Absurdly pointless and long thread title?Check. . .
If anyone want's me to make them a sig.or hell we could just make this a general request thread. . .
Supply the image, and the text you want. .and I'll get it done.
Fancy Name, but crucial to Yoda are his Force Cancel attacks, or for the rest of this post I'll refer to them as YRC(Yoda Roman Cancel, since YFC is to close to full crouch and whatnot)
First let's look at all the moves he can cancel from:

Once you've done any damage you can use the A+K flip series to stay away. At long range 236B...
1-6B,Seriosuly the more I use this the more I realize how awesome it is. Fast, Safe, huge Range, decent SG damage,RO set-ups,Goes over lows, great whiff punisher. i could just go on about how great this move is for Yoda.
2-A+K, still helps him get away from lows and such. Extremely linear and...
What that is to say for example:
Taki's 4A+BB- even if Yoda blocks the first he can't block the second, and will be launched. . .AND CAN FALL BACK DOWN TO BE HIT BY THE MOVE AGAIN.And there is very little yoda can do to escape this... Outside of a well timed A+K.
I'll test out some other...
Erm also taken from what I'm doing on CF. . .how combos vary on Yoda due to size and Yoda mechanics:
Algol:
33b,8A+B,8a+B-second bullet goes right over him.
33b,8a+B,22b,2A+B,aB,2b works on him though
11_77a,2A+B,22B,2A+B,aB,2b works
3AA,2A+B,22b,2A+B,aB,2B works
66BA the entire A whiffs...
