Hoo boy. Yorihime's one tough cookie to S-Rank (at least with my folder, it seems, so it's probably my own fault). She starts with フカシンエリア (literally Inviolable area) which prevents the opponent from stealing the column it's activated on, so I can only grab her front-most column. She also has a variety of other attacks in the first phase such as a wind gust to a cross-sword (so barriers and aura's aren't that useful), a triple one row wide sonic boom attack followed by a LifeSword and a triple HeroSword rush. Thankfully, she seems to counter getting flinched with a sonic boom where she flinched and a LifeSword, so she can be predictable to counter.

She also has some shield attack that blocks attacks after she gets hit by blocking the panel in front of her (probably to block vulcans and the like) which, in later versions, then spawn on your panel and then goes through the panels behind you. This is pretty much taken directly from what she does in Silent Sinner in Blue.

Her second phase is activated when she hits half HP and activates カミオロシ (Kami Oroshi?) where her attacks now do damage of an element of whatever element your style is weak to that you were in when she activated it (which is why I changed to HeatWing, though in hind sight, I didn't really need to). She also uses フカシンエリア on her front column, becomes WAY more aggresive, does EvilCut after the wind burst, adds WideSword and CrossSword before doing LifeSword after her sonic boom, she can charge up a triple sonic boom like TribeKing's charge shot in Star Force 2 and can also charge up to basically do Bass' Darkness Overload attack, minus the panel cracking.

Holy crap, Yorihime's one tough and fun battle. Probably should have uploaded her stuff last, as the others will probably be anticlimatic compared to her, but whatever.
