Edited from a demo that I recorded in December 2023.
I hope to illustrate the basic way to play Makashi with Yellow style.
A few core principles:
mid-range focused: easier to parry, dodge and block.
parry-fencing: to get advantageous exchanges, seeking ACM.
counters: includes counter-combos, not just single-hits.
conserving energy: keep BP regen ticking; this means 95% walking shadowswings, no running shadowswings.
