RECOMMENDED ASSISTS AND COMBOS
Here are examples of combo routes possible with various assists.
IRIYA
The best assist in the game and is widely popular amongst Japanese players overall, 5S gives you a plate projectile to use for setplay or to help you close in on opponents. 6S is a moped that can be used to punish Blasts or whiffed attacks and force out air options from the opponent. Plates enhance Yuuki’s setplay game, granting her with nasty plate 50/50s, as well as firework mix ups once 2 plates are stocked. 6s can be used as a neutral check to approach zoners and punish players mistakes along with a combo tool to create big damaging combos. Overall, iriya tools more so enhance Yuuki’s kit greatly, along with, covering her weaknesses in matchups against zoners, making Iriya an excellent choice.

Delay the jB so it still connects but the j[C] hits low to the ground so you can do 5S > 5AB quickly as possible.

WILHELMINA
Wilhelmina is a strong setplay assist that also carries the threat of explosive damage behind every 6S. 5S is a quick projectile that can strike away other assists or be used as an anti-air or as a whiff punish that gives you enough time to combo off. 6S allows yuuki for combo extensions and high-low/tick-throw situations to keep the opponent guessing. Wilhelmina would be the replacement assist if you're not a celty fan as Wilhelmina functions almost identically to Celty in terms of the reward and options they both offer. Wilhelmina’s 5S and 6S are used for almost the same purposes; however they cover different areas of the screen, making Wilhelmina stronger in the neutral game than Celty. Using Wilhelmina with Yuuki allows her to approach zoners with ease due to 6S and 5S tracking. Making Wilhelmina the perfect choice if you want to enhance Yuuki’s neutral games,l setplay game and combo potential.

CELTY
Celty is a strong neutral tool and setplay staple. 5S is a giant hitbox in front of you that zooms across the screen with only 10 frame start-up. It's great for scrambles, mid-screen stand-offs, and quick punishes into hard knockdowns. 6S is a giant anti-air bike that hits twice (first hit coming down, and second hit when grounded) since 6S is active for a long period it is perfect to use after a hard-knockdown which allows Yuuki to perform strong mix ups afterwards such as cross-ups or tick throws. As far as using 6S in neutral, it can be used to cover neutral space, however it’s startup is relatively slow making it somewhat risky to throw out in neutral. Celty 5S can be used to punish normals out of Yuuki’s reach, prevent zoners from controlling neutral space and used as a pressure tool to keep your opponent pinned down. Furthermore 6S is similar to Iriya plate mixups in a sense that it enhances Yuuki’s setplay game immensely, as it creates a guessing game for your opponent. 6S grants Yuuki with many options to open up her opponent such as tick throws, throws, 4ab and meaty low, Instant air dash low, instant airdash grab or overhead and 214[X].

Non-Trump:
Midscreen:
**For All Midscreen 5S (CH or not), you will likely have to buffer dash immediately after 5Sing to get a confirm. If the opp. simply blocks you can stop dashing (or press adv.) and play from there
5S Non Counter-hit:
(5S hit) (5A**) 5B jBC dj[C] 5A 236A 236AB
*Standard 5S hit confirm, difficult / near impossible to do outside of 3 char spaces away. If you are unable to confirm, do 2AAA 2B/5B 2C/5C OTG
**Optional 5A to possibly make the pick-up easier due to distance, doesn't affect the routing
5S Counter-hit:
(5S CH) (5A**) 5B jB[C] jAC dj[C] 5A 236A 236AB
*Standard 5S CH routing. If you are unable to confirm, do 2AAA 2B/5B 2C/5C OTG
**Optional 5A to possibly make the pick-up easier due to distance, doesn't affect the routing
Corner:
5S Non Counter-hit:
(5S hit) 5B jBC j236[A] (dj slight delay j[C] j236B) OR (dj[C] 5AB 236AB)
*Not 100% if the meterless KD j236B works off this routing but in theory it should.
5S Counter-hit:
(5S CH) 5B (jB[C] j236[C] dj[C] (micro-dash 5C 236x) OR (5AB) 236AB) OR (jBC j236[A] dj slight delay j[C] j236B)
*Hopefully the nested () isn't too hard to read. I have faith in you.
While in Trump:
5S Confirm:
(5S hits) 5C 2AB j[C] dj[C] 5B 236B 236AB/426BC/624BC
*You can likely do 2AB j[C]B 5B instead of the j[C] dj[C] 5B, you just lose out on some damage
Hyouri Setups:
**Make sure you don't jc the 214AB for the j[C] link, if you are unable to get the timing you can drop the j[C] and do delay 5C/5B/2B 236[x] in place of it
6C (grab) 214AB (delay) 5C/2B/5B 236x(3) 8[6]j
Hyouri Options:
After the IAD / 8[6]j in the above setups you can:
-8j falling jB -- Same side high
-8j (slight delay) j236C -- Cross-up option which puts you in a spot to avoid wakeup PB etc, loses to opp. doing wakeup blue trump to invuln through Tomo 5[S]
-8j 9dj -- Cross-up option
5[S] Hyouri Confirms:
(5[S] hits) 5C 2AB j[C]B 5B 236B 236AB (Optional: 426BC)
*BnB 5[S] confirm
(5[S] hits) j[C] 5C 2AB j[C] dj[C] 5B 236B 236AB (Optional: 426BC)
*Optimal? Confirm for 5[S] hit, slightly harder than previous one due to j[C] dj[C] 5B routing
Low/Throw Setup:
Stuff -> 236AB (recover) -> IAD jA(w)
(6C (grab) 5AC 5C 5B)** OR (6C (grab) 214AB (delay) 5C/2B/5B) 236[x] 236AB (recover) j66 8[6]dj 5[S]
*Time the 5[S] to be at the same time as the 8[6]dj. Unsure if this setup is fake or not.
**This route is specifically for trump install after grab, do the second one when grabbing while in trump state.
Low/Throw Options:
-2A (for low)
-4/6C ( for grab)
Low/Throw Confirms:
-For 2A -- (5[S] hits) 5C 2AB j[C]B 5B 236B 236AB (Optional: 426BC)
-For Grab -- Setplay does not loop so freedom of choice. Can opt to dump a bar for some dmg/blast %, dump 2 bars to extend trump, or do nothing into 5C2C5B2B2AA OTG.
"Nobility" (R3) Combos:
j[C] 236AB 5AC 236[C] 4ABC 5[S] j236[C] 5C 2AB j[C] j236[A] j236AB 426BC

*2 bar trump install route that nets roughly 5.4k damage (5C starter)
Misc Notes:
While the assist can be compared to Celty she is on a lower tier due to some faults. Off the bat you will have to come to terms with not having non-trump setplay. Furthermore, non-ch 5S hits are pretty much unconfirmable outside the corner and 6S hits (as well as air 5S hits), counter-hit or not, lead to airtech situations. For positives, outside of trump she shines in tangent with your ability to establish 5S/6S threat in neutral and how you choose to present her in pressure (i.g. 5S post jump-in, see Shijou's use of Tomo and Wil 5S for examples). In trump, the assist compliments Yuuki with extra neutral control and strong hyouri setups. Since she is a single hit assist you are able to borrow routes from other assists and do not suffer from proration issues, allowing you to easily drop lots of damage when the confirm is right.
Please don't use this assist
Even More Misc (lol):
Tomo has the a special input (426S, costs 2 bars) which is a super that can be used from the ground or in the air. By pressing S an additional time (up to 3 times for a total of 5 bars) you can increase the damage output. Puts the assist on cooldown.

4AB -> (no 4AB followup, cats will pickup) -> 5B jBC dj[C] 5A 236x 236AB/426BC
4AB -> (wait for cats) -> 5C 236C jBC djC j236x
*Wack route but shows possible potential, was setup with max delay 6S after 236AB ender
Misc Notes:
*6S goes away when opp. throw-techs, throws you, and hits you
*The second and fourth cat (the two that go towards midscreen) during 6S will actually pull the opp. out of the corner, allowing you to sideswap
Unsorted:
*This setup shouldn't break x-up protection due to no sideswap beforehand (but kirino gets hit anyway)? Need to test
//Assist shelved -- While stronger than most outside trump, Yuuki doesn't benefit enough from her while in trump, too many proration issues, etc.
