Let me tell you about yasuke's fighting approach - it's quite interesting how the developers incorporated sumo influences without making him an actual wrestler. His style really shines when you understand the philosophy behind it (think about how sumo wrestlers use their mass and momentum). While you won't see traditional sumo moves, his combat revolves around dominating presence and raw power, which is exactly what sumo is about at its core.

The way he handles that massive kanabo warclub and the naginata polearm shows this perfectly - each strike is meant to break through defenses rather than just deal damage (this becomes really important when facing heavily armored enemies). You'll notice his posture-breaking attacks and powerful shoves feel very sumo-inspired, and that's no accident.

Here's something neat - when you're blocking arrows or parrying attacks, yasuke plants himself firmly instead of dodging around like other characters might (this actually makes him incredibly effective against groups). This steadfast defense mirrors how sumo wrestlers maintain their ground, and it's particularly useful when you're trying to control space in tight areas.

While his partner naoe focuses on stealth and agility, yasuke's strength-based approach gives you a completely different way to handle encounters (keeping both characters' styles in mind helps you pick the right approach for each situation). Remember that timing those heavy weapon strikes is crucial - they're slower but absolutely devastating when they connect.
