Fuaaarrrkkkk I wanna play Yang again. I ALWAYS have a fail moment and lose momentum by fking up a Rekka. Also I think PR Rog will be using Yang soon.
Yeah his secret character could well be Yang. Unless he’s got a pocket Blanka or something lol. He played Yang in AE so he has some experience. I’m just wondering if Yang is that good of a counter-pick to Akuma when I look at how Eita did against Ojisan.
Yo if Rog plays Yang they might as well admit me to the hospital for a hype attack. I’m itching to see ppl doing crazy starlight waltz resets in the big tourneys.
I always thought Yang was a counterpick to Akuma (not as strong as he was in AE ofc). Going by comments, it’s either Yang or Evil Ryu (could be trolling). Also I will join you in the hospital for a hype attack. I wish I was good enough for Yang. 
I actually never used the twins in AE, not once lol. Never even tried to fraud my way with Yun. 
I think Floe used Yang for CEO also.
Eita plays a pretty strange style of Akuma though. It might have thrown Ojisan off. I still think the match-up is in Yang’s favor.
Also, the Sagat match-up might have shifted to even. I’ve seen 666/Kyoku blowing up Sagat’s. And that video of Alioune’s rusty Yang dominating Sanford’s Sagat was pretty telling.
Just a heads up guys, I just got a new cap card (avermedia c875) and I’ve been posting stuff to my youtube channel. It’s not the best Yang play in the world, but I do regularly go head to head with big names down in Florida (Peter/CJ/Tajh/JeBailey/Du/Booker who you may know as (FlashMetroid/CJTruth/CJ Tajh/JeBaited/Knuckledu/TampaBison).
i cant find the Kyoku vids, is he in this side of the stream
I think he was on both sides of the stream. If you just want to see the Kyoku matches then you can find a video with all the Yang matches in the video thread.
Wait, wut? Alioune and and Yang? Looking for this now. There’s also 1 hour of Dogura and Kyoku, this has probably been posted in the video section already.
I’ve been trying him again, this character is guaranteed salt when playing online. Them Rekka fadc combos with lag bro.
Hey guys, apparently Fei is going to be fucked for no reason, so I better step up my game with Yang. I want to know Yang’s safe jumps and cross up setups.
I’ve been playing with him for some time, since he is fun, close range version of Fei, but I never really studied him outside of combos.
Thanks in advance, don’t hate me because I’m a Fei player. D:
EDIT: Also, is the matchup thread updated?
Fei is getting his ST Rekka pressure back. He’ll still be gdlk.
I just noticed that I’m not going for enough command grabs with Yang. Like at all. I prefer stutter step jab pressure to keep them grounded and hit confirm into sweep.
I feel like I need more gimmicks, but Yang isn’t very gimmicky. Just a very solid wall. Gimmicks that come to mind that work may more often then it should:
- EX Rekka (block) to grab
- LP Rekka finish corner. LK Teleport. Cr.short.
- FADC charge in corner, bait jump back, dash to st.MK launcher
How does Yang do against Guile? I’ve been beating a few online, but I dunno. They all just seemed scared of Yang, even though mine is mediocre.
I’m too scared of anyone with a dp. Even when I was trying Fei Long/Makoto, I never used it.
yeah seriously none of that stuff works online since people just MASH
I have two gimmicks that i use to great success when i’m behind or way ahead:
a) after u1, empty jump toward, command grab. Hits everyone who doesn’t spam backdashes.
b) delayed u1 on opponent’s wakeup. Fuck it, everyone does something on wake up.
Haha. Delayed U1 so good. I do the QCFx2 then walk for a split second into U1 cuz fuck it; Yang life.
I also want to be able to combo into MP Palm and MK DP more, but my muscle memory always brings me back to Rekkas. Trying to change that feels so weird.
But yea, I noticed that Kyoku and Nemo tend to land a lot of command grabs.
Also, Fei Long’s command grab is so good. On block, it feels like it literally combos from st.jab.

Well it is a true block-string unless they hold up or mash reversal.
Has anyone found any info about the Yang tech that Justin was talking about. I’ve tried a few options that I thought he could’ve meant but they didn’t work out.
I’ll get to that senei enbu tech this weekend. I have a lot of notes of stuff i want to test out that has been acumulating for 3 weeks since i last played. Also someone has to correct all those wrong yang combos in the combos tier thread.
You have no idea how much i relate to this. I struggle(d) a lot to stop going for launcher resets after fadc as well and to better manage my meter. I (try) to have this rational framework of what i’ll do in each match/matchup but muscle memory always prevails.
what justin was talking about:
seiei enbu combo, when you have like 15%~ left you launch, immediate jump rh, you land first and launch again. they’re forced to block and you do mixups after that
