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:
A
AA
B
BB
3B
236B
236BBBBBB Last hit
A+B
A+BB
22_88A
66B
22_88B
False Cancel attack:
44A+B doesn't use force and doesn't give him access to anything other than his his 4A+K,4A+B,AND 4B+K YRC moves.
Alright now let's see what each YRC move does or is a copy of:
YRC A+KA-Copies his 66AA mid low string. Semi-decent in mix-up strings, but very slow. Best saved for combos off of 22_88A.
YRC 2_8A-Copy of his 22_88A. very good for giving him not only a move to continue combos but also for sidestepping and attacking at the same time.
YRC 4AB-Copy of his 44AB launcher string. Good off of any move that can be canceled that knocks down. More on this in a bit.
YRC 6BB Good cancel to go over lows and in combos. the first B can also be YRC.
YRC 2_8B Similar to his 2_8 A+K cancels, but a vertical and launches on hit.
YRC 4B Same as his 44B. good if the opponent tries to advance on you after and move that can be canceled is blocked
YRC 6K Works just like his regular flip forward
YRC 2_8 K Works just like his sidestep flips
YRC 4K works just like his backward flip
YRC 6A+B+K Same as his 66A+B good for setting up BT B+K combos and getting your ooponent into BT.
YRC 4A+B+K Same as his 44A+B. Good for tracking and SG pressure.
Breakdown of some various YRC set-ups:
AA/BB YRC 2_8 A+K/B+K Basic set-up for combos and sidestepping. Learning what you step with the 2 and 8 variations is key.
Example:
A YRC 2A+K will get beat out by NM's BB. However A YRC 8A+K will not, and then you have a combo set-up.
A+BB is a great move to get damage, and mix-ups from. On hit you can do YRC 6B+KB for a 50 damage combo, or you can mix-up with his 4A+KB string. Even if the B is blocked Yoda get's enormous frame advantage and a free 6B or AA/BB mix-up.
66B YRC 6B+K YRC 6A+B+K is a nice set-up for getting over to their back. If you can land the YRC 6A+B+K you get a free BT B+K and 70+ damage combo set-ups.
