Cavalry was their forte. Sure they developed Heavy Infantry, but it was not that suceesful was it. At Ayn Jalut (granted that was still mostly Cav) Homs, or at Kyushu, wher they proved to be no match for a little known military organization calling itself the Samurai.

Sure, the Mongols were much better at cavalry fighting then infantry battles, but both of the Japanese campaigns were opposed amphibious landings. The Mongols also ran into Taiphoons, but it never ceases to amaze me as to why no one warned them of the Taiphoon season, since they deployed a large number of Chinese and Korean sailors.
