We NEED to Talk About Yasmine

0:00 This character is horrible. No damage. Death by a thousand cuts in a game where someone can just or and slob your way to a win with significantly less effort compared to the pennies you get rewarded for playing Yasmin. Her buttons suck. Zero range at all. I dare you to whiff punish with her. T-Rex normals. Even though she has a knife, she really is the definition of wish punishing cuz you wish you had the

0:33 button that everyone else could use. First character of the year 4 DLC. This pack is full of newcomers and Yasmin is the face of it and she ask yourself, what else does Yasmin have? What is she even good at? Look at the cast. Can you think of a matchup that you can confidently say that this character wins? Year 4 DLC haters are up right now cuz so far [music] it's 0 and1. Capcom, please don't mess up our Jun. Please be good. All right, I got that out of my

1:04 system. The timing couldn't be any better with the Yasmin winning a world warrior. Shout out to Highcore and Ray Hon. Two Yasmin's out of the five that are still playing are out here putting her on the map. Y'all still have faith and I a y'all better than me. Now, this might be my privilege speaking from the other characters I've played, but it feels like her buttons feel so short in a game where so many characters are wildly swinging big buttons. The pain I feel landing a counter hit and a

1:34 follow-up just doesn't reach only for the Ryu player that I'm playing is pre-registering a stand heavy punch and immediately vaporizes. My fault. Speaking of Ryu, I resonated with Broki's tweet. I find it impossible to play Yasmin without suffering from Ryu derangement syndrome. Ryu would have killed there. Ryu would be plus there. Ryu doesn't need to take that risk. He lives in my head rentree. There will always

2:04 be a character that does what she does significantly better. Now, before I say this, before the Akuma players come flocking in talking about how their skin is made of paper and they have glass bones, when you say anything remotely positive about Akuma, but I must say, Filipino Flip is a dollar store imitation of Demon Flip. Mostly negative, mostly in your opponent's face, and even punishable at certain ranges. Not worth it, honestly. And there's so many other instances where

2:35 there is always a character that could do what she does better. You like to fling sand heavy punch and wreck? Play Jamie. Oh, you want to mix with more damage? Play Kimberly. Want someone that has a cool install? Play Blanca. Want Yasmin but better? Play Rio. Most people tack on titles to Yasmin like boring, not interesting, two-dimensional game plan or basic, which I still think she has tech. It looks cool, but in practice, in my opinion, it's either hard to apply cuz it does too little damage or it does too little damage and

3:06 you're taking your opponent out of the corners. You're the first new character DLC after O. There's a standard that's meant to be made, but you're dropping at the same time as a patch where everyone got some nice changes. Now, I do believe it's a case where it could go either way. Either the changes overshadow the character or you make the character so insane they become the new demon of the game. No one was looking at Yasmin when these Jamie buffs and Ryu buffs came out. I have a problem. I suffer playing

3:37 Yas, but I can't stop. She's definitely fun, but I don't know if there's something that could help me contest with some of these demons. They'd have to buff her into a brainless character. Something's telling me that Capcom really is just putting all their brain power into Tifa and then leaving the rest halfbaked. I hope not, though. What do y'all think about Yasmin? Is she bad? Does she have potential? Let me know. Be sure to drop a sub. We're almost at 5K. Believe. See y'all next time. Stay rested.
