The mental layer of fighting games — out-thinking your opponent. You read that they'll jump, you read that they know you'll read that, and the mind games stack into layers. Pure yomi is calling someone's option before they commit and punishing it clean.
“That hard read on the wakeup wasn't luck, it was straight yomi — he knew she'd mash.”
