Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire/Yeung/Strategy

General Strategy

Yeung is the game's primary zoner. She can keep the opponent away with far reaching moves like 2LP, 2HP, far.5HP, 6HP, 63214LP, and 236LP. Her movement is fairly average, but she is capable of dashing in for a 2LK or throw mixup after locking the opponent down with her ranged tools. Note that Yeung's forward throw is risky to attempt due to its overlap with her 6HP command normal -- if the throw whiffs, 6HP is very slow and will pass completely through a close range opponent. Back throw attempts are safer, since cl.5HP and far.5HP are substantially less risky.

236LP (Crow Shot) can be a frustrating move for the opponent to deal with, as it hits overhead and is plus on block. It doesn't hit at close range, however, so the opponent may try to force their way in with dashes while stopping to block high. To catch stand blocking opponents, Yeung can poke with 2HP or 2HK. Unfortunately, most of Yeung's moves other than 236LP are at a frame disadvantage, allowing the opponent to close the distance. In a game where many characters can kill in one or two openings, this is a huge disadvantage, so Yeung players should try not to rely too heavily these moves.

Yeung has a fatal flaw that makes her very difficult to play at a competitive level -- when knocked down, she can be re-juggled after an OTG, usually leading to an infinite combo. Because of this skewed risk vs. reward, Yeung has to play nearly perfectly each round to win in most matchups. In order to avoid giving up free infinites, Yeung players must be able to mash quickly to wake up before the opponent can land an OTG (depending on which move caused the knockdown). Whenever possible, resetting to neutral is a better option than engaging in a close range scramble. If Yeung becomes cornered, her defensive options become much more limited, so it's important to try to push the opponent back instead. Even if Yeung eats some counterhits in the process, this is preferable to letting the opponent get close.

Boss Version legality -- unless otherwise specified, Shadow Yeung is usually tournament legal. She gains a lot from the extra juggle, but must fully optimize her combos to get a stun. Additionally, the Yeung OTG infinite more than balances out the buff she gets from her boss version.

Anti-Airs

AA	Description
5HK	Fairly reliable with 9 active frames No extended vertical hurtbox Not cancellable, and too much pushback for a strong midscreen juggle
41236K (Swallow Kick)	Fast, but hitbox doesn't match animation HK version hits higher, but harder to juggle afterward
63214P (Crane Wings)	Amazing vertical hitbox, but slow
far.5LK	Essentially a weaker version of 5HK
6HK	Early active frames have a strong vertical hitbox Forward movement can also let Yeung dodge jump-in
far.5HP	No extended hurtbox, so it can work at long range
j.LP	Long range air-to-air No chain afterward, and causes Yeung to corner herself

Reversals

Reversal	Description
41236K (Swallow Kick)	Fast and airborne, but not invincible Risky because opponent can use OTG infinite off a punish
Super	Invincible, but usually a poor option First hit whiffs on most opponents unless they are standing at point blank Can work if the opponent was attempting a throw or overhead 2nd hit easily interrupted if the 1st hit whiffs Safe if the opponent blocks 2nd hit

Yeung vs. Lau Matchup

Important Punishes

Opponent's Move	Punish
2HK	- 63214LP will punish at any range if Lau doesn't cancel it (and is safe at farther ranges) - At closer ranges, can 41236LK or dash 2LK, but harder to gauge the distance
236LK (LK Dragon Kick)	- Throw (if done at close range) - Yeung has decent throw range so it has a good chance to reach - It can be difficult to time the punish properly, and Lau can DP or Super missed punish attempts. May be safer to backdash after blocking.
236HK (HK Dragon Kick)	- Full combo punish - If you can survive the chip, stand block to make the spacing easier (otherwise he can fly over your head)
623P (Rising Dragon)	- Full combo punish - Be aware that 623LP can whiff quickly and be hard to punish from farther ranges
Super (close range)	- Block, then dash up into full BnB combo - 41236HK during Super freeze can dodge, beat, or favorably trade with Super at some ranges - Far 5HP > 6HK sets up 6HK loops if blocked at point blank
Super (short-mid range)	- 63214LP can punish if slightly too far for dash up 2LK - 236HP at some spacings can safely hop over the projectile

Getup Attack Punishes

Scenario	Punish
Getup LK (whiff)	2 hits; bait with a backdash, whiff punish Recovers standing
Getup LK (block)	Only 1st hit is overhead, so you can stand block for a short time then crouch 4f gap between the 2 hits that can be interrupted with 41236LK, Throw, or Super -7 on block, so 41236K is an easy punish
Getup HK (whiff)	2 hits; bait with a backdash, whiff punish Recovers crouching, so don't dash up into 5HK or cl.5HP Yeung's 6HK can hop over Lau's Getup HK
Getup HK (block)	Both hits are mid (despite sweep animation) True blockstring, safe at -2

Strategy

Lau is most likely Yeung's hardest matchup. His OTG infinite is extremely easy to perform anywhere on the screen and he has many ways to safely fish for knockdowns, so getting hit once is usually the end of the round. Yeung must aggressively keep him zoned out while being careful not to get clipped by a random 236P. When Lau has Super, it becomes even more difficult because he can randomly (and safely) throw it out from midscreen; even if blocked, Lau can dash up behind the fireball to force a mixup. Your only real hope is to get the kill before he builds a full bar.

Luckily, Lau is one of the easier characters to land a Shadow Yeung TOD on (and even regular Yeung can land an air pogo TOD near the corner). Against Lau players that are overconfident in their approach, you can quickly end them with one optimized combo. Unfortunately, a Lau that plays safely and defensively is almost impossible to land the TOD on, so this only slightly improves the matchup.

Counterpokes -- Yeung's lights tend to get stuffed by Lau's, but far.5HP can contest his buttons. 236LP can safely hop over a lot of Lau's options and punish him, but don't use from too close or he can dash through for a round-ending punish. Yeung's 6HK can also hop over Lau's low pokes, but can be throw punished if blocked.

Yeung Matchup (Mirror)

Important Punishes

Opponent's Move	Punish
2HK	- If well spaced, no punish - From close range, 41236LK can reach
6HK	- 41236LK reliably punishes a blocked overhead - Throw can punish on hit unless very well spaced - Throw towards the corner for an easier OTG infinite
63214LP (LP Crane Wings)	- Can punish with your own 63214LP on block, unless at max range - From close range, dash up 2LK combo or 41236LK can punish
63214HP (HP Crane Wings)	- Can always punish with 63214HP on hit or block, creating an endless loop of punishing each other - From close range, dash up 2LK combo or 41236LK can punish
41236K (Swallow Kick)	- Dash up and punish with anything that knocks down, then use the OTG infinite - LK version has surprisingly little recovery, so don't worry about getting an optimal starter
Super	- The initial flip kick can't hit Yeung unless you stick a button into it - Wait for her to flip, then use 41236K to hit her as she dashes forward (and kill with OTG infinite) - If you block the dash-in part of the move, it is completely safe

Getup Attack Punishes

Scenario	Punish
Getup LK (whiff)	Bait with a backdash, whiff punish Airborne, recovers standing Has fast recovery, but moves forward for easier punish
Getup LK (block)	Hits overhead, 0 on block (no punish) From very close range, Getup LK will whiff over a crouching opponent Crouch blocking can potentially work against both getup options Mashing 2LP on Yeung's wakeup will stuff Getup LK, but loses to Getup HK Yeung can pick up juggles from this anywhere, so it is best to assume she will use Getup LK instead of HK
Getup HK (whiff)	Bait with backdash, whiff punish Recovers crouching, so don't use cl.5HP or 5HK in punishes
Getup HK (block)	Must be blocked low -7 on block, but a lot of pushback

Strategy

Like many characters, Yeung has an easy OTG infinite on herself if she can score a knockdown, which incentivizes a more offensive style. But because it's hard for her to score a knockdown at longer ranges, playing a more defensive zoning style can make it hard for Yeung to approach. Both playstyles are valid in the mirror match, as the risk generally matches the reward.

Yeung's 6HK is easily punishable by 41236LK if blocked, so it's not recommended to use it for mixups; stick with 236LP to hit crouch blocking opponents safely. Because Yeung has a mediocre dash and slow jump, it's hard for her to counter Crow Shot the way other characters do (by dashing through it or hitting with an air-to-air). At some spacings it is possible for 41236HK to punish the startup of Crow Shot, but this is hard to do on reaction.

Yeung's longest ranged attack, 63214HP, is essentially useless in the mirror match unless you have a significant life lead because the move punishes itself on hit or block. This leads to an infinite series of attacks punishing each other until one character dies or stops trying to punish. Instead, normals like far.5HP and 6HP are better suited for keepaway.

Yeung vs. Thorsten Matchup

Important Punishes

Opponent's Move	Punish
46LK (LK Jackknife Storm)	- 41236LK reversal (easy to time and very consistent) - If you can throw Thorsten into the corner, do this for an even more damaging juggle
46HK (HK Jackknife Storm)	- Punishable with a full BnB combo - Might fly over your head if you are crouching, making it harder to punish
28K (Gatling Kick)	- Both versions punishable with a full 2LK combo - Only has 3 landing frames, so timing is strict - Punishing with raw 41236LK is more reliable, but it's important to maximize punishes in this matchup - Note that 28LK whiffs extremely quickly, so be careful about trying to punish or he might just use another 28LK
16P (Slash Sword)	- Both versions can be punished with a dash up combo - If you aren't confident in the timing, 6HP or 2HK should reach
Teleport	- far.5HP and 2HK are good for chasing down a teleport if you are close enough to reach him - May need to use a predictive backdash first depending on range
Super	- Can react to super freeze with 41236LK to win or score a good trade - If you can survive the chip, better to block and punish with a strong combo as soon as he lands - Super only has 13 landing frames, so be ready to punish immediately - 5HK > cl.5HP is a good punish starter

Strategy

Thorsten is a bit slow and his specials are easily punished by Yeung, so at first it seems like an okay matchup. However, Thorsten is great at landing stray hits that can lead to an OTG infinite anywhere on the screen. His LK Gatling Kick (upkick) has extremely fast startup and little whiff recovery, so he can throw it out during blockstrings. This forces Yeung to be more cautious with her button presses, making it easier for Thorsten to get in. Gatling Kick can also punish Yeung's 6HK overhead, and if Thorsten reacts to a Crow Shot while dashing, he can use it to anti-air as well.

Some of Yeung's farther ranged buttons become much risker when Thorsten has Super, as he can more easily punish slow attacks on block or whiff. Many Thorsten players like to charge meter while running away with teleports, but you can predictively backdash and punish him when he reappears if you're ready for it.

Counterpokes: far.5HP and 2HP can deal with Thorsten's sweep; 2LK is very weak in neutral against Thorsten's main buttons.

Yeung vs. Drunk Jackie Matchup

Important Punishes

Opponent's Move	Punish
far.5HK	- If it connects from too close, 41236LK is a reliable reversal punish on hit or block - If you're not sure, you can try to confirm with a couple 2LKs, but this makes it harder to hit the punish timing - Throw can also punish if done too close (connecting approximately before the apex of his hop)
Light Normal > 6HK chain	- Super fully punishes the gap on hit or block - It's not a bad idea to mash Super if Drunk starts to hit you with close range light normals, as he is very likely to chain to 6HK - Difficult to use this on reaction
236P (Jug Throw)	- 236LP can hop over the jug on reaction, while hitting Jackie if close enough - Yeung can also dash in and throw, but her dash speed is not always fast enough to make it through - 41236K can work if close enough, but it's more difficult and is basically guaranteed death if it misses
Blockstring into 236P Jug Throw	- 41236LK can be done on reaction to punish any normal cancelled into Jug - If you block a 2HP or 2HK, be ready to react to a jug - Can also use 236P but this is less rewarding
621P (Drunk Dragon)	- Both versions can be punished by reversal 41236LK on hit or block - It is possible to dash up for a stronger punish, but it's much more difficult to time, so go for consistency - vs. LP Drunk Dragon: 2HP > 6HK is +3, can link into 41236LK for good damage - vs. HP Drunk Dragon: far.5HP > delay 6HK is +3 (must delay until the final 3 possible frames)
236K (Tricky Kick)	- Full combo punishable if blocked
28P (JackieCopter)	- Both strengths are extremely punishable - Wait until Drunk fully lands to get a better punish
Super	- The most punishable move in the game by far; only has 10 landing frames, so be ready with a point blank 2LK combo starter - The proximity guard of this move can prevent you from walking to position yourself for a punish - Dash away from Jackie, then walk/dash forward as he descends
Dropped Butt Infinite (whiffs far.5HP)	- Hold down back, 2HP > 2HK while his far.5HP whiffs The 2HK is -5 but safe due to range Always option select a punish in case the infinite drops It's hard to get stronger punishes without standing into the far.5HP blockstun

Strategy

Although Drunk Jackie is usually considered the best character, he doesn't dominate Yeung as easily as one might expect. Drunk's easy OTG infinite only works in the corner, and he isn't great at converting into a knockdown from longer ranges. His throws also have very little knockdown time, so a fast mashing Yeung may be able to wake up before being hit OTG in the first place. He does have a midscreen OTG infinite route, but it's much harder and few players use it.

Drunk's neutral is still incredibly threatening, even compared to Yeung. Once he starts locking Yeung down with far.5LK and Jugs, he can work his way in where his mixups really shine. On reaction to a jug throw, Yeung's 236LP Crow Shot will usually dodge the blast radius, and will hit Drunk if he is in range. Unfortunately it is hard to deal with both his far.5LK and jug throw simultaneously; you generally need far ranged buttons like 5HP or 6HP to stuff his far LK, which are much more risky. If you are careless with Crow Shot, you may trade and land into a Jug; if this happens, there's a chance Drunk can dash up and convert this into a juggle with massive damage and corner carry.

If Drunk frequently uses blockstrings into Jug Throw, Yeung can interrupt this with LK Swallow Kick. Similarly, his blockstring into 6HK overhead can be interrupted with Super. Both are a little hard to do on reaction, but possible with practice.

Counterpokes: Buffering 2LP into 63214LP is effective at stopping Drunk from approaching with far.5HK, since it will hit him out of the air for a juggle. Unlike heavy normals, it also recovers fast enough to block a jug, which is important because it only takes a few counterhit jugs to lose a round.

Yeung vs. Dragonball Jackie Matchup

Important Punishes

Opponent's Move	Punish
6HP	- Can punish at any range with 63214LP - If close, can duck the 2nd hit and punish with 41236LK - Don't start with 2LK, or pushback can make combo whiff
236HK (HK Crush Kick)	- 41236LK can punish except at max range - Difficult to distinguish between LK/HK Crush Kick; only do this if you are 100% sure which one he used - Easiest to determine if he does it raw in neutral, as the HK version travels farther
41236P (Tiger Fist)	- If blocked at point blank, far.5HP > Delay 6HK is +4 for 6HK loops - 63214LP can reliably punish, but Yeung can be punished back in return - 2HP > 2HK will punish and is safe, but harder to time - Dash up 2LK xx 41236LK can punish, but is difficult and risky to drop
Super	- On block, the same punishes as Tiger Fist - You can also 41236LK on reaction to the super freeze (fairly reliable)

Getup Attack Punishes

Strategy

Regular Dragonball Jackie has no OTG infinite against Yeung, while Hyper Dragonball has one that's impractically difficult. He can still set up a strong reset after an OTG, so knockdowns are still dangerous. This is one of Yeung's more even matchups due to her strong neutral and the ability to survive occasional mistakes. Dragonball Jackie still probably has the edge due to his superior movement, but individual player skill will far outweigh the character matchup this time.

Learn to differentiate between LK and HK Crush Kick, as Yeung can use her LK Swallow Kick to punish the HK version. By taking away that neutral option, he has to get closer to start his offense, which gives Yeung more chances to score stray hits. There are several options to punish Tiger Fist, all with their own drawbacks, but it's important to have something to dissuade the opponent from constantly throwing it out in neutral. When Dragonball has Super available, it's best not to hit any defensive buttons after blocking a special move, as blocked special > Super is a common tactic at all levels of play.

It is very risky for Yeung to use 6HK overhead, as Command Throw can punish it both on hit or block if they are aware. The animation is fast enough that an opponent may miss the punish timing, but it's probably safer to stick with LP Crow Shot.

Dragonball Jackie is one of the easier characters to juggle with Pogo loops in the corner, and a stun is possible even without using Shadow Yeung.

Yeung vs. Admiral Jackie Matchup

Important Punishes

Opponent's Move	Punish
2HK	- 2HK will punish if not perfectly spaced - Reversal 63214LP will punish even at max range - If Admiral chains into 2HP, it is likely that attempting to use 63214LP will make you stand block it, making it unpunishable
41236P (Dragon Palm)	- Reversal 41236LK will punish both strengths - Dash up Throw or 2LK combo starter can also reliably punish
623K (Double Dutch)	- Punishable with a full BnB combo - HK Double Dutch often flies over the opponent's head, so be ready to reverse directions - Also, LK Double Dutch can whiff really quickly in neutral, so don't risk a punish attempt if you weren't ready for the whiff
Super	- Reversal 63214LP or 2HK - 63214HP works too, but only do this if necessary to kill since it is very unsafe - If the Super is done raw, can interrupt with 41236K during the Super freeze - A point blank raw Super has less pushback, making punishes easier -- dash 2LK xx 41236LK will reach, for example

Getup Attack Punishes

Getup LK (block)	-7 on block; 2 hits, only 1st is overhead Punishable by 41236K if stand blocked 1st hit has less range, so you can crouch block from mid-long range If you do this, there is too much pushback to punish
Getup HK (whiff)	Long 34f recovery, so you can backdash to bait and punish Dash + full 2LK combo Recovers crouching, so don't use high attacks in punishes 6HK will hop over for a punish (+1 on hit)
Getup HK (block)	-11, must be blocked low Punishable by 41236LK at nearly all ranges due to its foward movement If unsure, simple 2LP chain starter will easily punish

Strategy

Admiral Jackie is a nightmare matchup for Yeung, possibly only behind Lau. His speed and long range light normals force Yeung to retreat often, until she has nowhere left to back up. Getting hit once by Admiral's throw or Double Dutch is almost always the end of the round, as he gets enough corner carry to use his fairly easy OTG infinite. He also has a midscreen version of the OTG infinite that he can do after Dragon Palm or Super, but it's more difficult and rarely attempted.

LP Crow Shot is usually one of Yeung's most important tools in any matchup, but Admiral can uppercut it on reaction if he started to dash preemptively. It's still important to use this move, but it has to be done more thoughtfully. Some Admiral players will whiff his LK uppercut in neutral hoping to catch an extended hurtbox, so it's important to be ready for anything. The move whiffs quickly so if you aren't close enough for a full punish, something quick like 2LP > 6HP can suffice.

Admiral's awkward juggle hurtbox can make it hard to maximize damage off Swallow Kick or Throw, especially in the corner. Practice your combo routes against Admiral specifically to avoid drops. Also be aware that you can use 63214LP Crane Wings to punish Admiral's usually-safe Super. Many Admirals like to use this for free chip, so it's a good punish to have in your back pocket.

Important Punishes

Opponent's Move	Punish
236P blocked (Thousand Spears)	- HP version can always be punished with a full j.HK > j.HP punish - LP version can be jump punished if blocked from further out, as more hits will whiff - If 236LP is blocked from close range, wait for the hands to stop and punish with a quick dash up 2LK combo - Alternatively, you can just Super as soon as you're out of blockstun and it should punish before Sam's followup hits - After blocking either version, you can stand just out of range, then microwalk + Far 5HP > 6HK to set up 6HK loops
236P whiffed (Thousand Spears)	- On whiff, the followup doesn't come out, making it harder to punish - You can still dash up 2LK punish, but this is difficult to time - Ranged 2HP > 2HK punish is safer, and can easily be started after you see the attack finish
214K (Divekick)	- Dash up 2LK into a combo can punish, but difficulty depends on how high the divekick connects Higher = more unsafe - Short dash + far.5HP > 6HK into 6HK loops is fairly consistent Requires manual timing/spacing to set up - 2HK, 6HK, and reversal 63214LP are all reliable, but weak punishes - Blockstun is deceptively long, so time the dash later than you would expect
Super	- Punish with a full BnB combo when he lands - The 5th and 6th hits are overheads, so block these high - If chip damage or time are a concern, interrupt the 1st or 3rd hit with a 2LK combo starter

Getup Attack Punishes

Getup HK (whiff)	Range is very short, so you can bait this without moving Recovery is fast, so backdashing makes it hard to punish afterward The final recovery frames are standing, but it's hard for Yeung to take advantage of this 6HK can hop over for a punish, and link into 41236LK
Getup HK (block)	-12 on block, hits low 2HK punishes at far range, 41236K works at closer range

Strategy

It is imperative not to let Sam land a hard knockdown, as his OTG infinite is easy anywhere on the screen. Throw, Thousand Spears, Divekick, and Super are his troublesome knockdowns; Rekka knockdowns don't allow him enough time to OTG. If you do block his Rekkas, there is a good chance Sam will stop after the 2nd hit and dash in for a mixup; it's a good idea to start backdashing just in case.

Be careful about whiffing slow buttons, as a random divekick could come out of nowhere. If Sam has meter, be sure that you are only pressuring with low hitting normals (which dodge the Super's first hit), or airborne moves like 236LP (which won't juggle properly, allowing for a punish).

This just leaves Thousand Spears and Throw. Sam is fast, but not very threatening at Yeung's strongest ranges; it shouldn't be too hard to keep him away if you play safely and check his approach with light normals. It's hard for Sam to combo into Thousand Spear if he doesn't start his offense from point blank, so it's okay to mash defensively even if you get hit several times. Against a good defense, Sam has to rely mostly on Dash + 5LP for his offense, which can often be interrupted by LK Swallow Kick if he is to predictable.

236P (Running Lariat)	- Stay crouched, then use 2LK to start a combo right as she gets near you - If you don't hit her during the approach, she can run past you, making the punish difficult

Getup Attack Punishes

Scenario	Punish
Getup LK (whiff)	You will get thrown if you stand (unless too far out of throw range) Mashing 2LP will hit Kim out of the air (but this loses to Getup HK) Kim will whiff against crouchers and knock herself down where she can be hit OTG Because OTGs are low damage, a Kim with a large life lead may keep doing this on purpose Try to juggle her mid-air if this happens
Getup LK (block)	Standing at farther ranges will put you in hitstun/blockstun while Kim knocks herself down If you are fast you can OTG her, but knockdown time is short
Getup HK (whiff)	The long animation and active frame window makes it hard to backdash this If you try to backdash bait on her wakeup, be sure to keep stand blocking just in case Use a quick punish like 2LP x2 xx 63214LP if you manage to make her whiff nearby
Getup HK (block)	+6 on block overhead, completely safe Kim can force a true blockstring into 2LP, then chain into low to punish your backdash attempt She can also use immediate 2LK, but with a 1f gap that can lose to invincible moves If you stay put, she can do a delayed throw, so pick the least risky option depending on circumstances Smartest choice is to just stay far away on her wakeup

Strategy

Kim will be absolutely desperate to get in, so Yeung just has to play a safe, patient neutral game. Kim's jump normals can actually be an issue, so it's better to avoid the situation altogether. Kim can't do much about being pinned down with 236LP, and she can't approach well after blocking LP Crane Wings (63214LP). Crane Wings will actually stuff any jump if used preemptively, so it's a great option; however, knocking Kim down lets her roll toward you, so be prepared to quickly change your position if this happens.

Kim's OTG infinite only works in the corner, so just try to stay midscreen and Kim should have no way to knock you out within the round time limit.

Yeung vs. Mysterious Lion Matchup

Important Punishes

Opponent's Move	Punish
6HP	- 63214LP punishes on block - This move whiffs on crouchers, so it's harder to react with a whiff punish if you didn't stand block first
2HK	- 63214LP can punish, but it's possible for Lion to space it safely, in which case you will be punished for trying this - If 2HK is very poorly spaced, you can punish with 41236LK instead
far.5HK	- 63214LP punishes reliably on block (hard to do on reaction)
646LP (LP Lion Crusher)	- Punish with full 2LK combo - Can reversal 41236LK if you're not confident in the timing
646HP (HP Lion Crusher)	- If used from close range and Lion doesn't corner himself, not punishable - If used from mid-long range, 6HP or 2HK may be able to reach it - If your back is closer to the corner or he recovers near you, punish with a full 2LK combo
Normal xx 236LP (Lion Bomb)	- One of Lion's most important tools -- reversal 41236HK beats it fairly consistently - Dash up Throw or 2LK combo are stronger options, if you make a good prediction - 236LP/HP or 6HK can also work while avoiding the bomb, but these are unrewarding
Teleport	- Dash in the predicted direction, then 2HK or far.5HP
Super	- 41236LK can hit him out of the transformation, ending it immediately - This can also hit Chibi-Lion out of his 2 special moves while transformed

Getup Attack Punishes

Scenario	Punish
Getup LK (whiff)	Backdash to bait and punish Tons of active frames, so if you dash too early you might still have to block Try to position yourself so that your backdash will recover completely out of range of the Getup LK Has similar animation to wakeup roll, don't confuse the two
Getup LK (block)	-6 on block, hits overhead Not punishable if blocked due to pushback
Getup HK (whiff)	Can backdash to bait, then Dash + 2LK punish starter Recovers crouching, so don't use high normals in punish Invincibility runs out early, so you can stuff it with meaties Most players will just use Getup LK so this isn't a great idea
Getup HK (block)	-3 on block, hits low 41236LK can punish at a surprisingly long range

Strategy

Lion is one of the few characters who can threaten at longer ranges, so Yeung has to adjust her usual gameplan a bit. Using slow mid-range normals is dangerous, as a Lion Bomb can hit Yeung out of her recovery even if she connects. On reaction to a bomb, Yeung can hop over it with Crow Shot to try and punish it. If she lands into a bomb explosion, however, there's a chance Lion could dash up and get a juggle into air reset. If he ticks into bomb from his normals, a reversal HK Swallow Kick will punish during the gap, and usually moves forward far enough to avoid the explosion. It takes a lot of concentration to consistently react to this though, during which time Lion could dash up and throw instead, so this is often used more as a risky prediction.

While Lion does have an OTG infinite, it's very awkward to land and it drains the clock rather than killing Yeung most of the time. If you get a large enough life lead, he will have to go for a reset after an OTG instead. One of M. Lion's strongest tactics is his corner throw loop, which works because the backturned state prevents you from backdashing. Your reversal LK Swallow Kick will beat this clean if he attempts a second throw, although a meaty 2LK will stuff your reversal and likely lead to a stun.

After landing a knockdown, it's generally not worth pressuring on Lion's wakeup due to his strong Getup LK. Backdashing to bait and punish is a strong tactic if they insist on using it, but the risk of getting hit by it is just too great for Yeung since Lion can OTG her afterwards.

vs. Chibi Lion:
Yeung can reaction punish Lion's Super transformation from around 1/2 screen with her mashed Crane Wings attack. After a successful activation, this is also her primary means of keeping Chibi-Lion at bay, as it will hit him out of an airborne Drone Assist call while also doing slight chip damage to him on the ground. Other than that, the only moves that connect on crouching Chibi-Lion are 2LK and 2HK; even your 6K overhead whiffs right over him. The dash-in portion of Yeung's Super can also hit him, but his Self-Destruct will beat it clean. If he gets a successful Drone Assist called, don't use any slow special moves or you might get hit during recovery. Simply backdash to reset the situation, and remember that the Drones hit overhead.
