Pressure Tools
When Yukiko is the one on the offensive she can can use these tools.
2A
One of her better tools that she can use in pressure. Her fastest normal and has decent range. Also is a self cancellable and a self staggerable low. Can be used to setup mixups.
5A/5AA
This move is often used to start pressure. This move can setup pressure with it's ability to jump cancel out of the move, since 5AA can lead to multiple strings, you can use different strings to try to open up the opponent.
j.A
Good way to maintain space mid to close range. A good air approach, can be used as a jump-in. Can be used as a crossup, a mixup, and can be used in pressure and in a blockstring as the move is self cancellable.
5C and 2C
This tool is mostly used in middle of pressure and can be used as anti-air occasionally. Mostly used in a blockstring and can cancel into each other (5C > 2C or 2C > 5C) and that would lead to frame trap. With the use of fans, help these moves more in pressure as it could make a string gapless. Also, they can be dash cancelled and can set up throw baits, although it is -10 frames for doing the dash cancel, so you have to think if its a good call to use in pressure.
5D/2D
This can be used within blockstrings to reset/extend pressure, and create more layers to Yukiko's offense. Best used as an insight to the opponent's level of defense and tendencies. The way you vary the use of this, can lead to gambles of losing a persona card or gaining pressure again. With 2D you can setup an unblockable with 2A, To set this up, its best to time with the 2D as soon as it descends do 2A try to, although there is a small window to get it but it is possible to get it.
