Yasmine
Current Performance Snapshot
Character Overview
A karambit-wielding Eskrima rushdown fighter who escalates her offense through a self-triggered power-up state.
Yasmine closes distance behind her boomerang projectile and mobile knife pressure, then leans on Bayani Mode, an enhanced state triggered by landing specific moves, to power up her follow-up attacks and extend her mix-up sequences.
Key Strengths
- Bayani Mode Scaling: Landing key moves like Alon or Talim ng Hangin triggers an enhanced state that boosts the performance and combo potential of her follow-up attacks.
- Layered Approach Tools: Daloy ng Tubig closes distance and extends combos, Pangil sa Likuran is a boomerang projectile that can hit twice (three times on OD), and Mukha ng Langit is a jump-in mix-up between a forward swipe and an upside-down back hit.
- Reversal Option: The Overdrive version of her Lipad ng Agila uppercut kicks is fully invincible, giving her a meter-based way out of pressure outside of Super Arts.
Key Weaknesses
- Bayani Mode Upkeep: The buffed state is temporary unless sustained through her Level 2 Super (Nakatagong Lakas), so her damage and pressure output likely dips once it expires.
- Committal Projectile: Her Pangil sa Likuran boomerang disappears if she gets hit while it is out, so throwing it carelessly can cost her the tool entirely.
- No Meterless Reversal: Her invincible escape option (OD Lipad ng Agila) costs Drive/Super meter, leaving her without a free reversal when resources are low.
Counter-Strategy
Hold your ground in neutral and force her to approach without a Bayani Mode trigger active, since her follow-up attacks are weaker before Alon or Talim ng Hangin connects. Anti-air her Mukha ng Langit jump-in on reaction. If she throws out Pangil sa Likuran, punish it hard on whiff, as the boomerang disappears entirely if she gets hit while it's active. On knockdown, respect only the Overdrive version of Lipad ng Agila as a real invincible threat; without meter, she has no invincible reversal to escape tight okizeme.
