Yuyuko Saigyouji (Gensokyo Reloaded)

*This article is about Yuyuko's appearance in* Touhou: Gensokyo Reloaded*. For the character in other contexts, see Yuyuko Saigyouji.*

## Pros

* Yuyuko is a relatively simple character to play as and combo with.
* Many moves have large hitboxes and high priority, allowing Yuyuko to safely strike from a distance.
* Has Normal chains that reliably connect from nearly all distances, both while grounded and airborne.
* Overall damage output is quite high, with most individual moves doing above average damage, and Yuyuko's combo strings being potentially devastating thanks to the unscaled DoT effect from *Ghost Sign "Ageless Dream"*.
* The character has solid mix-up options.
* Possesses a good okizeme tool in *Ghostly Butterfly*, which has tracking properties.
* Has an excellent match finisher when the opponent has around 200 or lower Life left in the *Sakura Sign "Sense of Cherry Blossom"* Last Word.

## Cons

* Movement in general is on the slower end of the character spectrum, with the character being unable to quickly cover significant distance with her dashes.
* Possesses wider than average hurtboxes that are also quite tall when standing and airborne, which makes it more difficult for Yuyuko to evade opposing attacks.
* Has an overall slow set of Normals, which can negatively impact the character's neutral game under certain conditions.
* Yuyuko's keepaway game is heavily reliant on *Lance of the Swallowtail Crest*, as her other moves (particularly her Specials) are dependant on the opponent having already approached Yuyuko.
* Constantly playing keepaway is the one scenario where Yuyuko's high damage output doesn't apply, forcing her to go for zoning with Normals if she wants to inflict meaningful damage.
* Because *Reverse Screens* lacks range, Yuyuko often has to use the move at the very last moment to successfully reverse an opponent, increasing the move's risk factor.
* Is somewhat susceptible to corner pressure owing to the aforementioned issues with her slow Normals and reversal Special.
* Has a difficult time dealing with dedicated keepaway characters, as Yuyuko can neither win projectile wars against them nor approach them with a quick movement option.
