Character Summary
Yukiko is the full-on zoner and setplay character. The tools that she has can make her a nuisance to those who are trying rush in, in which Yukiko will be playing a game of keep away and capitalizing off of hits from full-screen with her Persona.
When Yukiko is on the offensive, if she is able to get a confirm, she has options to set up Agi oki or fire boost. Using these options can maintain her presence in pressure, she makes her presence more lingering in the corner as the opponent may have to hold for things or get punished for poor defense.
In neutral, Yukiko has to use her zoning tools to get her way in or push away the opponent depending on what the situation is. It's best not to be careless when using these moves as excessive use, being predictable, or underutilization can lead to you being punished or losing her Persona.
Yukiko has a strong zoning game, when playing defensively she has good options to cover a lot of ground and obstruct someone's path towards you. Fans, Agi, Maragi, Firebird, 5D, and 2D in addition to the D normals you can use 5C, 2C, and j.C in which the persona will be displaced. These tools should be used to keep the opponent out of their range.
