Overview

Yosuke Hanamura is rushdown Style of play where you constantly attack the opponent in close range fighting, never giving them an opportunity to retaliate. character specilzing speed & mobitily.

Yosuke is tied with Seth for the fastest character in the game which combined with his excellent air movement, lets him move around the field in different ways to change his approach and confuse the opponent.

He has flexible gatling The special category of cancels that describe how each character can cancel normals into other normals and specials. options which keep his blockstring varied and easily transition from ground to air-based offence and vice versa. He can set up left/right mixups both solo and with his partner thanks to his specials which are layered with fast overhead An attack that the opponent must block high.s, 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 good stagger pressure.

He's not with flaws though. His normals are short and he lacks a projectile making him reliant on assists to get in certain matchups. This also gives him a lack of midrange presence. He struggles against characters with strong air control like Nine due to his additionally poor air presence in neutral and his low health means you can't make too many mistakes.

Still, if you like a speedy character with good pressure who can annoy the enemy to death, then pick him up and show them why "EVERY DAY'S GREAT AT YOUR JUNES!"

Pros

Cons

• Unmatched Mobititly:Yosuke has the fastest run speed, above average jump height, and air dash distance on top of his air actions.
• High Solo Damage: Most of Yosuke's combos result in 6.5- 7K without resources or counter-hit.
• Unique & Strong Pressure: With fast buttons, flexible gatlings, jump cancels, 5B being immune to pushblock & even more, he has excellent pressure.
• Nice Assist Kit: 4P is very fast and has a large hitbox. 6P is great for pressure and neutral and 5P is universal combo tool.

• Poor Midrange Game: While he has decent pokes, his short range and lack of projectiles make him less threatening when he gets you in the corner (more so than other characters).
• Can't make too many mistakes.: His low health and lacklustre reversal action means he can struggle on defence.

Unique Ability: Air Actions

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

3 Moonsaults and 1 V Slash can be used after he jumps and can only be refreshed by landing. You can combine them however you want as long as the actions are available. V Slash can’t be cancelled into any air actions but you can manually input Moonsault/normals after recovery while in the air.

• Hitting A during Moonsault / Dash Spring will give you V Slash.
• Hitting B or C during Dash Spring will give you Moonsault or EX Monsault.
• 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't use Moonsualt in the same direction twice in row.
• You can also do manual inputs or 6/4+Button to change directions
• You can cancel the start-up for j.C into air actions also using manual inputs.

A versatile normal useful for just about anything.

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".

• Always try to land all three hits before cancelling
• Can be used twice in the same string

---

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

---

An important part in his combo loops but otherwise outclassed by other options.

5AAA makes Yosuke airborne like 4AAA letting you use air specials, however, it can be jump cancelled on hit. Still, besides the aforementioned loops,5AAA sees little use due to there being better options, both for combos and pressure.

---

As with most 5A autocombo enders, 5AAAA's only real use is as a combo ender so you can use Cross Raid. Outside of that, almost all of your other combo options are preferred.

• Wait until all the kunai hit before the 5th A press to optimise damage.

Another well-rounded button, mainly used in combos and pressure.

5B sees most use as combo filler as autocombo plays a large role in Yosuke's combo routing.

It also helps vary your pressure as it can be reverse beat The ability to ignore the typical Light > Medium > Heavy sequence of buttons, i.e. cancelling a medium attack into a light attack.

Mainly combo and blockstring filler.

Landing 5BBB on airborne enemies can be tricky so doing 5BB> Dash SpringGuardAllStartup20~29Recovery18 [26+13L]Advantage-23 is usually preferred, making it one of your most common routes.

Like 5B, 5BB can be reverse beat into 5A so the same pressure uses apply.

By delaying the 3rd B press, Yosuke will do 5B again instead of doing 5BBB. You can do this up to 4 times. If the opponent pushblocks or tries to jump out after 5BB, the next 5B can potentially catch them.

• Jump cancellable on hit

A combo tool and nothing else.

5BBB stuns and then relaunches the opponents letting you combo into 236B on grounded opponents making it one of your main routes.

It also disables Cross Burst which combined with the long animation make it perfect for an Active Switch to your partner to either extend the combo or go into a super for unburstable damage.

An excellent pressure option for baiting your opponent due to the cancel options.

Jiraya causes a puff of smoke where Youske disappears and reappears on the ground while doing a sliding low attack. As soon as the smoke effect appears, you can cancel the startup into any air specials and both supers. This makes it extremely versatile as you can use this to bait anti-airs, throws, most reversal To perform an attack as soon as possible after getting knocked down or leaving hitstun/blockstun.s, cross up the opponent with Moonsault or go for a high/low with j.236C and the low.

Although the sliding attack is unsafe, you can cancel into 236A to stay mostly safe. Jumping back and doing a falling air normal can punish the attack recovery but you don't have to commit to the low and potentially punish the enemy's attack.

Mix up your options with j.C to keep the opponent guessing.

A versatile move for mobility, combos and mixups.

Moonsault makes Yosuke jump in a wide arc in the air. You can cancel it into itself thrice so you can cross up multiple times and it will switch sides even in the corner.

Important filler for combos.

Crescent Slash has Youske slash in the opposite direction Moonsault came from (e.g if you do j.236B > he'll slash to the left even if you don't cross the enemy). The 3rd Crescent Slash in an air action set will cause a hard knockdown A knockdown that forces the character into a prolonged knockdown state. After a hard knockdown, teching is disabled briefly, allowing the player who is on the offensive more time to set up a meaty, a mix-up, etc.. These attributes allow a variety of combo routes while doing good damage. After the 3rd one, you can end it there for oki or go into V-slash for more damage.

Moonsault's left/right mixup potential applies to Crescent Slash as it hits overhead forcing them to block high instead of either direction.

Generally, a block string will be composed of several plus on block or cancelable attacks performed in quick sequence. When blocked, these will slowly push your character out of range and prevent the opponent from counter-attacking, which makes them a very good default, low-risk option when trying to apply offense. extender.

5P has decent hitstun working, primarily as a basic but effective combo extender. However, it can work in blockstrings where you don't have enough time to set 6P.
