The Yang guide on Eventhubs has been updated. All of Yang's special moves, notable normal moves and combos have been updated and incorporated into the guide.Yang is an offense-based character that survives heavily on pokes and dive kicks to punish the opponent's moves. He also has a safe approach with his Mantis Slashes and good mixups with his overhead and command grab. Yang also has two great Ultra Combos and has flexible combo potential with the ability to FADC his Slashes. Combine this with great movement options and Yang's offense is something to be feared.
Yang's weakness is that he doesn't do a whole lot of damage at once. He often has to sacrifice great amounts of meter in order to begin his pressure or to increase his damage output. Yang also has to rely on resets in order to trick the opponent much more than other characters and he doesn't have safe pressure tactics at mid range.
The Yang guide on the forums was used as a base for information as well. Post here if you see any errors in the main guide.
i liked this guy in 3s and im gonna like him in AE once i spend more time as the console version releases
Awesome. I'm checking this out once AE is out on console.
Can't wait, used Yang in 3S and may be a possible secondary in AE ^_^
Faced a few guys last night, and two of them used Yang. One of them hit me with this one 10-hit combo that was literally jaw dropping. I thought I had the match and he took it all away. I sat there and thought, "Wow, I get what everyone's talking about".
That said, I absolutely love the char and am glad he's popular. He's not super broken, just a little hard to get inside.
I feel that, depending on your playstyle, the LK - MK - HK target combo might also be useful for keeping the opponent grounded. Just to mix things up a bit. Yang has relatively strong options at the close-to-inyourface range.
Your mileage will vary of course.
June can't come fast enough, sigh.
Thanks Great Update.
i thought people only care about yun,
This guy needs to be used more...
