Yohan is a Criminal character who turns the entire game into a 50/50 with his projectiles and okizeme, allowing him to easily snowball his way to victory. However, he can just as easily be snowballed himself, due to his poor frame data and lackluster anti-airs
Playstyle
Yohan is a snowball character who turns Verdict Guilty into a constant guessing game, as long as he doesn't run out of ammo.
Strengths
Weaknesses
Obnoxious Zoning: Yohan has access to an overhead projectile and a low projectile. On top of that, they apply stun on hit, which reverses the opponent's horizontal and vertical controls.
Excellent Okizeme: On top of having access to 2B/2D mix, Yohan has also access to throw setups and reversing the opponent's controls off of any hit.
Good Damage: Yohan's combos does good damage, provided he's willing to use ammo for that.
Mental Stack Overflow: If his zoning and oki weren't enough, Yohan's C normals also allows him to feint a projectile, further reinforcing his neutral mindgames.
Hard to Catch: Yohan's fast jump combined with Mine Drop and his projectiles makes him rather hard to catch for most characters.
Struggles to Comeback: Due to his slow walk speed, short jump and bad normals, making a comeback as Yohan is very difficult.
Bad Anti-airs: Yohan's grounded normals aren't meant for anti-airing opponents, forcing him to meet his opponents in the air.
Resource Management: Yohan is extremely dependant on his vials to compete with the rest of the cast. However, he doesn't have many opportunities to reload without putting himself at risk.
Difficult Hitconfirms: Since his projectiles hits twice, Yohan's hitconfirms are much tougher than for most characters.

While very slow for VG standards, 5B is one of Yohan's main pokes. Generally outclassed by 2D, but due to how inputs are registered keyboard players can use it for easily hitconfirm into 66B.

Very unique among 5Ds, in that it's not a dedicated anti-air! Instead, it's Yohan's furthest reaching attack, thus making it his best poke. It does less damage than 2D though, so keep that in mind.

One of Yohan's main zoning tools. While it's the slowest and most laggy of Yohan's projectiles, it's slow enough for Yohan to throw out another projectile and cover more space. Used for covering ground approaches.

On paper, 2C is just a worse 2A. However, due to the animation, it can be used in neutral for feinting an AAC projectile.

Only used in combos for setting up 2B/2D mix. Not much value in neutral since it's a mid. Very easy to hitconfirm into for keyboard players.
Is slightly minus on hit if done at point blank
Can't be done by player 2 if they're using a controller

Extremely risky, but very rewarding move that turns Yohan into a literal ticking bomb. If the opponent was close when the timer reaches 0, they'll get hit with the most damaging move in the game. And it's unblockable too!
However, Yohan don't always have 40% HP to spare for this, and while his zoning is excellent, his approaches aren't so great.
The explosion also hurts Yohan

Bomb throw. Applies a timer on the opponent, which will trigger an unblockable knockdown once it reaches 0.
The explosion can also hurt Yohan, although this is unlikely to happen

5b/5D > 66A, 66B (480 to 500 damage)
Poke BnB. Leads to 2B/2D mix. Replace 66B with 66C for a throw setup on wakeup or a free reload, if that was your last bullet.
2B/2D > 66A, 66B (500 damage)
Same combo than above, but slightly more damaging. Replace 66B with 66C for a throw setup on wakeup or a free reload.
[2B/2D]*3 > 44D (180 damage)
In case you happen to be out of ammo. Gives you the opportunity to safely reload and lets him zone again.
66A, 66B (420 damage)
BC combo. Going for a throw setup after 66A is not recommended, since it's extremely expensive.
Throw, walk 2B/2D > 66A, 66B (620 damage)
Throw combo. Omit 66B if the opponent ends up in the corner.
Corner
2B/2D > [66A]*n, 44D (620 damage)
Yohan is one of the only characters in the game to have increased damage output in the corner, although it's very expensive. Puts Yohan back to zoning.
