You blocked it. What does Yoshimitsu get?

Pick how minus they were.

Blocked standing

Anything Yoshimitsu can start from neutral inside the window.

  • uf+1+2 Rainbow Drop throw i11 40
  • 1+3 Oni Killer throw i12 35
  • 2+4 Sword Face Smash throw i12 35
  • 1+4 Soul Stealer i6 20
  • 2 Right Jab i11 10
  • 1 Jab i10 5

Blocked a low

You are crouching, so the punish comes out while you rise — the ws moves.

  • ws4 Toe Smash i11 14
  • ws1 i13 12

Sorted by damage, highest first, and the top one at each window is marked. Frames are necessary and not sufficient: pushback is not in the source, so a move listed here can still whiff at the distance the blocked attack left you at.

Move data and the published punish tables are imported once from a community frame-data project that releases its text into the public domain (CC0). Numbers are theirs; the grouping, the derived flags and any mistake in them are ours. Character renders are Bandai Namco Entertainment’s, shown to identify the fighter. TEKKEN is a trademark of Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc., which is not affiliated with this site. A dash means the source does not record that column for that move — it is not a zero, and the filters treat it as unknown.
