Yang Q&A: Ask simple questions here!

[Kef]

Thanks

[Kurt]

900 life, 1000 stun.

Hey, Yang has less than 900. And certenly not 1000 stun. Yang is Akuma-like.

[Wasted]

Nope, the twins are 900, and he certainly does not have Akuma health.

[DirtySanchez]

You guys feel like we got the upper hand on the yun matchup?

[superlollo]

yun and yang have 900 stamina and 900 stun

[Genistar]

i believe they both have 900 stamina and 950 stun.

Is it possible to do a meatie palm into U1?
Next is can you create a frame trap with Yangs st.mp? (i’m not sure what the frame advantage on block is for his moves.)
Lastly With yang using star light waltz (Super) when you drop a combo is it best to use a lp palm to lock your opponent in and continue to break their defense?

You can do corner meaty Palm to U2 but not U1.
Yang’s Stand.MP Is Startup : 5 / HitADV : +4 / BlockADV : +6.
What do you mean by “Drop” ? Miss ? LP palm is a feint, you probably wanted to say MP Palm. Yes using MP palm > dive Kick > over head is powerful

…where are you guys getting these stun numbers from?

I’m taking it from the frame data mook.

I don’t read japanese, but I have a poor translation here as you can see. It’s the original frame data for Yang.

Yep, that’s the scan of the mook. But I was referring to the twins having 900 life, 1000 stun. Where are you guys getting 900 or 950 stun from? The frame data lists them as having 1000 stun.

I started playing Yang 2 month ago.

Everyday at my local arcade center in France. And it’s certain, Yang has not 1000 stun, and definitly less Health point than Yun.

I swear, it might be written somewhere, but, playing as yang for 2 month, I can’t be wrong

Although old, this is a pretty cool blog. Translated:

Though both Yun and Yang have the Raigekishuu (Dive Kick), which they can use as a starting point for attacks in a variety of ways, the hitbox is unusually small, while the hittable box is unusually large. With a simple strategy of attacking with Dive Kick, there’s the risk of the move simply being stuffed, depending on the opponent’s attack.

For those on the defensive side, we recommend countering using moves like light normals with high points of attack, and medium normals with high priority.

• If his Dive Kick is blocked at the head, Yun’s frame disadvantage is at -8 to -4.
• Blocked at the waist, Yun is -3 to +0.
• Blocked at the feet, Yun is at +0 to +4.

If you can skillfully aim for the feet, Yun will be at an advantage after the block.

About Yang’s Sei’ei Enbu (Super move)

Sei’ei Enbu: A Super Combo where, following an attack from Yang, every ten frames, the shadows will attack an additional two times. Since Main attacks and shadow attacks have different properties, we’ll discuss them a bit. Main attacks generally have the same properties as normal attacks. Exceptions include Close Hard Punch and Crouching Hard Punch, which do slightly different amounts of damage.

Shadow attacks do about 1/4 of the damage of the main attack, and do no (dizzy) stun, even if the hit lands. Also, all shadow attacks counts as upper-body attacks, so you can block them from both a standing and crouching guard. Furthermore, Shadow Level 3 Focus Attacks are blockable, and shadow throws won’t connect.

Though (depending on its use) Sei’ei Enbu is a Super capable of doing massive amounts of damage, since there is scaling as the hits of a combo increase, we suggest knocking the opponent down during one combo and attacking again from wakeup.

Yang’s Suggested Combos

Crouching Light Kick → Standing Light Punch → Crouching Medium Kick → Hard Punch Mantis Slash 199 Damage 323 Stun.
A combo from the 3 frame Crouching Light Kick. Since the Link into Standing Light Punch is tight, if you change it to the 4 frame Crouching Light Punch so you have more frame advantage and the combo is easier to do. Since it’s easier to do to wake-up attacks, if you change the the finishing Mantis Slashes to a Medium Kick Senkyuutai (Roll Kick), choose which to use based on the situation.

Flip Grab → Close Medium Punch → Hard Punch Mantis Slashes 195 Damage 246 Stun.
An example of a combo from Zenpou Tenshin (Flip Grab). Since both normal and EX put Yang at +7 on hit, you can combo into Crouching Medium Kick, Close Medium Kick, Close Hard Punch, and other moves.

Crouching Medium Kick → Hard Punch Mantis Slash (two hits) → Focus Attack Dash Cancel, → Ultra 1 439 Damage 190 Stun.
An example combo of connecting Ultra from an FADC. Of course, you can not only combo with Ultra 1, but Ultra 2 as well.

Dustlooper-

I’ve not seen this before so thanks a lot for posting it here.
Been watching vids and writing down combos and various things I see–time to note this in as well.

So its your word vs. the mook? Id take the mook since its written/tested by a group of experienced people rather than just one person.

Maybe a proper testing can solve this? heh

No, I just have the Frame Data page ^_^.

I understand what you mean, you’ll see the difference on June 7th :P.

That was the point, didnt you read what m16ghost’s post? You only have the frame data page. Some people (e.g. me) have the whole book and can read Japanese, and according to the book, the twins have 900 health and 1000 stun. The frame data page doesnt include those information. Of course the book might have mistakes in them, so if anyone with access to arcade can test it out. I dont see the logic in giving Yang less health than Yun though.

I missunderstood, sorry I’m not English. Anyway, I played both twins, and it’s pretty obvious when you play them. One has less Health point than the other.

[De4dEyE]

I’ve been playing AE since it came out in the states, and from what I can tell, the twins have the exact same health. It wouldn’t even make any sense to have one tougher than the other.

I’m about 100% sure that the twins are 900 vitality and 1000 stun.

[Kurt]

Hello, I’m lucky enough to have AE in my city. I’m out today for a Yang Session.

Ask anything, i’ll try it out.
