About
Yoshimitsu and his clan of ninjas have been working to help the weak and poor by taking from the rich and powerful. Originally set on a path of revenge, Yoshimitsu changed his ways knowing that revenge would just equal more revenge. He gathered a clan of ninjas and have been out to help people ever since. Hearing of the Soul Edge's evil, corruptive and destructive powers it has been a goal of Yoshimitsu and his clan's to destroy it.
Unlock Yoshimitsu at the character creation screen for 4,000 gold.
Tactics
Yoshimitsu might have one of the better combinations of speed and damage output in the game. Some of his quicker moves include holding back whilst pressing X repeatedly. ( square on the PS3) In this move Yoshimitsu spins around continuously in a circle giving your opponent no chance to counter attack, if you combine this with a shave damage skill even whilst guarding it can be very effective. However once you hit your opponent 5 times Yoshimitsu becomes dizzy and falls over, which could put you in an undesirable situation.
