Yang

SSFIV-Yang Face.jpg

Yang is the younger of the Lee twins. Unlike his brother Yun, Yang is quiet, reserved, and more analytical. When Yun sets out after Chun-Li, Yang follows in order to keep his brother out of trouble.


In a nutshell

While Yun focuses more on extreme offense, Yang takes a simpler, more balanced approach. Yang's Mantis Slashes are easy to use and very effective both in and out of combos. His command dashes enable him to quickly surprise the opponent and punish them while shocked. His up kicks also make for decent anti-airs, and from a distance, the HK and EX up kicks (as well as Ultra 2) can punish fireball characters should they misuse their projectiles. Although Yang's Seiei Enbu is no Genei Jin, it is still very potent and can often lead into simple Ultra combos. With all these tools, the only thing working against him is his extremely weak damage output. Even after a full combo, Yang can still find himself trailing behind in life points. More often than not, he must go on the offensive, and should the opponent find an opening through Yang's offense, he will have a tough time tilting the match back into his favor. Still, if you can use Yang's tools effectively and not give the opponent a chance to breathe, the match is yours.
