Overview

Yosuke is a quick rushdown character. His Dash spring and auto combos provide quick actions to pressure opponents and catch them in unlikely situations. His air game is good with his j.C, allowing for a variety of cross up potential from that move alone, and his quickness allows for good offensive tools to get the job done. With Yosuke, you want to stay offensive and keep good pressure while crossing up your opponent to keep them on the defensive.

 Yosuke Hanamura is a rushdown character that can overwhelm the opponent with speed and left-right mixups

Pros

Cons

• Has great air mobility, as well as several air tools to help him out.
• High solo damage
• One of the fastest characters in the game.
• Great assist kit.

• Weak pokes/midrange game
• Struggles against characters with strong air control
• Fastest air normal is 10f.

Unique Ability: Air Actions

Yosuke is able to chain multiple specials while in the air. He can string these together during combos, to mix up his aerial approach or bait anti-airs.

His air action system in BBTAG still exist but to a much lesser extent (compared to the Arena series) since he only has 2 air specials (Moonsault and V Slash). They work almost like rekkas now off Moonsault / Dash Spring.

• Hitting A during Moonsault / Dash Spring will give you V Slash
• Hitting B or C during Dash Spring will give you Moonsault or EX Crescent Slash
• Hitting B or C during Moonsault will give you Crescent Slash
• Hitting B or C AFTER Crescent Slash will give you another Moonsault
• You can also do manual inputs or 6/4+Button to change directions
• You are able to cancel the start up for jC into air actions also using manual inputs.

3 Moonsaults and 1 V Slash can be used per jump. V Slash can’t be canceled into any air actions but you can manually moonsault/normals after recovery while in the air.

A versatile normal useful for just about anything.

4A's fast startup The time before an attack is active including the first active frame. For example, an attack with 10F startup means the attack will do nothing for 9 frames, then hit the opponent on the 10th frame., recovery The recovery of an attack refers to the amount of time an attacker must wait before they may perform another action, even blocking. and long active The active frames of an attack refers to the amount of time an attack can hit the opponent. frames make it a low commitment poke An attack that's thrown out to occupy the space in front of you and remind your opponent not to try and come closer. Usually, this is a far-reaching and safe normal move with little risk. in neutral When neither player is in an advantageous position in terms of stage position..

It has every cancel option so it's good for starting pressure To attack the opponent continuously and leave little room for counter attacks. and the hitbox and speed can let it be an anti-air A grounded attack that hits the opponent out of the air at certain heights. It can be used at the end of combo A sequence offensive executions where if the first attack hits and meets specific conditions (such as range, position, gauges, etc.), the correct executions guarantee you to land all the follow-up on the opponent. to do a reset Purposefully ending a combo early in order to perform a mixup in order to deal more damage..

• Jump cancelable
• Throw cancelable

---

A good option for stagger pressure The use of intentionally delaying gatlings or cancels in order to create frame traps with the intent of catching your opponent mashing or jumping. Loses to reversals., frame trap An offensive technique where the attacker leaves a small opening in their offense, goading the defender into performing an attack. This opening is designed such that the attacker can easily counter the defender's attack with their own.s and hit confirm This keyword does not have an entry in the Glossary.

4A has a long window to gatling The special category of cancels that describe how each character can cancel normals into other normals and specials. into 4AA letting you bait the opponent and 4AA still has plenty cancels making it good for confirming hits.

• Throw cancellable

---

An occasional but still good pressure tool and combo piece.

4AAA makes Yosuke airborne, letting you use MoonsaultGuardStartupRecoveryUntil L+9LAdvantage- for left\right mix-up To perform a maneuver that forces a defending opponent to choose between two or more options. If the opponent chooses incorrectly, then they are hit by an attack. There are many different types of mix-ups such as crossup(left/right), high/low, and strike/throw.s especially with an assist.

You can link To perform a second action after the first action completely finishes its animation. a microdash The act of doing a quick dash, usualy seen in combos or pressure, by quickly tapping forward twice (66) or tapping a dash button. 5A after 4AAA letting you get decent damage for a 4A starter.

While somewhat minus on block, 4AAA sends Youske backwards making it hard to punish Attacking someone when they are unable to block, making the damage guaranteed. for most characters so you can safely end blockstring with it.

---

Identical to 5AAAA except it can't go into Cross Raid so its useless. Just use 4AA or 4AAA to go into 5A for better damage and okizeme From Japanese "起き攻め". Attacking an opponent about to wake up after they were knocked down, usually with meaty attacks or mix-ups.

Your best combo starter and flexible blockstring option.

5A is jump and throw cancellable on all three hits, goes into all your other normals excluding 4A and is only -1 on block so it's excellent for starting pressure. It's particularly good for aerial offense like doing 5A >TK An input method to perform a special move in the air as fast as possible after you leave the ground. Short for "Tiger Knee". For Example: 2369 for a j.236 input. EX MoonsaultGuardHighStartup20RecoveryUntil L+15LAdvantage-.

It's also Youske's best starter damage-wise which combined with its fast startup makes it your go-to DP Dragon Punch A move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motion. punish option.

• Always try to land all three hits before cancelling

---

An important combo piece and branching point for pressure.

5AA causes a ground bounce on airborne opponents which makes it important for certain combos.

5AA can go into 2A and back to 5A but you wont be able to use 5AA a second time so use 5B instead. Mixing up and delaying these options will help make your blockstrings less predictable.

• Jump cancelable on hit

---

• 5AAA is special cancelable after the 3rd hit on hit and block.
• Unsafe on block because it leaves Yosuke airborne (unless special canceled).
• Jump cancelable on hit.
• Can combo into Moonsault on hit except on small characters (e.g. Linne)

---

• As the only "projectile" Yosuke has, 5AAAA does cause him to suspend in-place briefly in the air, which can avoid some characters' anti-airs and even some Reversal Actions.

• Has a long range but suffers from being a Persona normal (i.e., it’s a good poke but you take red life damage if it’s hit).
• Mainly used as combo filler or corner relaunching.
• Jump cancelable on hit

---

• 5BB is mainly used as combo filler
• Jump cancelable on hit

---

• Disables Cross Burst on hit similar to a throw.
• Pops opponent up fairly high on hit making it possible to combo into 236B but only from a close enough distance. Use 236A/C from farther away.

The long animation time and launch makes it easy to extend combos with an assist move or even an Active Switch into follow-up combo with the incoming character.

• Hits 3 times
• Not an overhead
• The blockstun and hitstun of j.B depends on the height: the higher Yosuke from the opponent, the higher the blockstun and hitstun are.
• Even though j.B has 3F of recovery after landing, Jiraya covers those 3 frames with blockstun so it feels like the move doesn’t have any recovery at all.

Very active and safe on block, but just like any other Persona normal takes extra red life damage if interrupted.

Yosuke’s Reversal Action has 2 parts, “Taunt” and “Kick”. “Taunt” is the initial action when the DP is pressed (Kunai Swing) where Yosuke is in his counter state. “Kick” is when Yosuke’s Reversal Action is triggered causing Jiraiya to come out and kick the opponent away. If it’s not triggered, Yosuke sighs and becomes punishable.

When activated, Yosuke briefly stops the opponent in place allowing Jiraiya to come out and quickly kick the opponent away with almost no interruptions.

• Jiraiya can appear behind Yosuke during activation if he’s crossed up with proper timing
• When triggered, Jiraiya will target the active character.
