Reversals

While Yukiko lacks in defense, but she can use 2A as abare, she also has other options besides taking a chance with 2A to get out of pressure.

Her reversals:

• Dia (DP): A guardpoint in startup frames and can launch opponents almost fullscreen and can heal a bit of blue health upon a single press. She can make herself health positive under specific situations at low enough health it's immediately health positive and can mean the difference between trading a hit during endgame scrambles as well as when the opponent cannot gap close soon enough to punish the extended commitment to healing best used if they are fully committed in their pressure and see a gap. The weakness to this reversal is that it is slow for a DP and can be baited out and some characters can touch the DP with their normals and do not get hit by the DP

• Guard Cancel Attack/Roll: A universal mechanic, Yukiko has a big guard cancel attack. This can disrupt pressure. Guard cancel roll is another way to get out of pressure, may be better than guard cancel attack.
