Combo Theory

Yosuke can confirm off of a lot of stray hits. Commenly the end goal for a combo will be to get a hard knock down using Mirage Slash (j.2C/D). Flying Flash Cut is a common route into Mirage Slash, but certain hights and character hit boxes require different timing on the Mirage Slash. This means a player needs to learn lots of permutations.
When in awakening or while playing Shadow Yosuke, a Sukuaja extension can be done for big damage.

A notable feature to take advantage of is that the game lets you execute the next command in the chain, and the game will preform the move at the first opportunity. This can make many of Yosuke's combos easier.

Basic Combos

Basic combos are simple combos with the fewest requirements and conditions possible. They:

Work against every, or almost every, character in the game
Can be performed from most positions in the play area
Require few adjustments, and if any are required they are simple

Standard Combo

Basic Auto Combo StarterPunish something quickly recoverable.

Very Easy

5AAA > 236C > j.2C
- damage, builds - SP.

This auto combo starter is perhaps Yosuke's easiest to preform combo.

Ground Sweep ExtensionConfirm almost any grounded hit into a sweep.

Very Easy

~> 2AB > 236B > 4C > j.2C
- damage, builds - SP.

In this route it is very easy to catch the fall from Flashcut with Mirage Slash.

Basic Combo ExtensionExtend your combos.

Easy

~> 5B > 5C > 2C > 236B > 4C > j.2C
- damage, builds - SP.

It is a bit harder to hit the mirage slash with this one. The trick is to delay the flying flash cut after the dash spring just a little in order to convert the mirage slash on the fall down and stop your opponent from simply popping out of the flash cut.

If there are too many hits preceding the dash spring, on some characters the hitbox gets too wonky and you must change your combo entirely

Bread & Butter Corner ComboA combo to use in the corner.

Easy

5B > 5C > 2C > 2AB > 236B > 4C > j.2C
- damage, builds - SP.

Anti-Air 2BPunish air approches.

Easy

2B > j.BB > j.AB > jc > j.C > j.236C > j.2C
- damage, builds - SP.

Yosuke has such a strong anti-air that many opponent's will not even try to jump in. Still, it is essential to know how to use this powerful tool.

Counter Hit Ground ComboA combo to do off of a counter hit.

Easy

2C > dash > 2B > 5B > 5C > 236B > 4C > j.2C
- damage, builds - SP.

2C > dash ~> can go into just about any combo you want

Sukuaja ExtensionExtend your combos while in Sukuaja for big damage.

Less Easy

~> 214214C > 2C > 5AAAAA > j.2C > 236B > 4C > 214214D
- damage, builds - SP.

Pretty much any standard combo ending in Mirage Slash can be cancled into Sukuaja, then connected an ender.

One More! Burst ExtensionUse your burst aggressively to end matches before the opponent can start a comeback.

Less Easy

~> j.2C > OMB > j.BB > jc > j.B > j.AB > 236C > j.2C
- damage, builds - SP.

You can cancle a Mirage Slash ender into a One More! Burst Extension.

A Harder Auto ComboAn auto combo.

Less Easy

5AAA > j.B > j.AB > jc > j.C > j.236C > j.2C
- damage, builds - SP.

Meterless A Starter Combos (Note: Values in brackets represent combo damage or SP gain for Shadow Yosuke)

Combo	Position	Damage	Meter Gain	Difficulty	Notes
5AAAAA	Anywhere	1336 (1282)	23 (27)	Very Easy	Auto combo. Gives 10 more meter and 1/8 of Burst gauge.
5AAAA > j.2C	Anywhere	1369 (1310)	13 (17)	Very Easy	Auto combo into hard knockdown. Does not award bonus SP and Burst refill in favor of hard knockdown.
5AAA > j.B > j.AB > j.AA > j.2A	Anywhere	1508 (1434)	15 (20)	Easy	Personaless combo off a 5A.
5AAA > j.B > j.AB > j.AA > j.236C > j.2C	Anywhere	1710 (1614)	18 (23)	Easy	Optimised 5A combo.
5A > 5AA > 5B > 2AB > 236B > j.4C > j.2C	Anywhere	1395 (1257)	15 (18)	Very Easy	Useful for when 5AAA would not hit due to spacing.
5A > 5AA > 5C > 2C > 236B > dl j.4C > j.2C	Anywhere	1621 (1459)	17 (21)	Medium	Difficult to get the delay on C Flying Flash Cut consistently. No known way to get this to work on Teddie/Kuma.
5A > 5AA > 5B > 5C > 2C > 236A > j.6C > j.2C	Anywhere	1627 (1497)	17 (22)	Easy	This ~236A > j.6C > j.2C extension ONLY works on Kanji
5A > 5AA > 5C > 2C > 236B > j.4C > j.2A	Anywhere	1630 (1468)	16 (21)	Very Easy	Works on everyone, sacrifices knockdown for consistency.
(Fatal Counter) 5AAA > j.B > j.AB > j.236B~A > j.4B~B > j.4B~B > j.4D > dl j.2C > 2A > 2B > 2C > jc j.C > j.236C > j.2C	Anywhere	2716	36	Medium	Normal Yosuke Exclusive. Your Fatal 5A BnB combo that builds a lot of meter. Don't delay the j.2C too much or the 2A pickup will not connect.
(Fatal Counter) 5AAA > j.236B~B > j.4B~B > j.4B~B > j.4D > dl j.2C > 2A > 2B > 2C > j.C > j.236C > j.2C	Anywhere	2549	45	Medium	Shadow Yosuke Exclusive. Your Fatal 5A BnB combo that builds a lot of meter. Don't delay the j.2C too much or the 2A pickup will not connect.
2A > 5AAA > j.B > j.AB > j.B > j.236C > j.2C	Anywhere	1478 (1392)	17 (23)	Easy	Optimised 2A combo.

Meterless Non-A Starter Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Meter Gain	Difficulty	Notes
5B > 5C > 2C > 236B > j.4C > j.2C	Anywhere	2036 (1830)	16 (20)	Easy	5B BnB confirm. The most you can really get meterless.
(Anti-Air) 2B > j.B > j.BB > j.AB > j.C > j.236C > j.2C	Anywhere	1805 (1624)	14 (18)	Easy	Your BnB anti-air 2B confirm.
(CH) 2C > dc 2B > 5B > 5C > 2C > 236B > j.4C > j.2C	Anywhere	2727 (2455)	20 (26)	Easy	Counter hit 2C confirm. You should be only hitting this when you have no meter to spare on a punish.
FC j.2C > 2B > 2C > jc j.AB > j.236B~A > j.4B~B > j.6B~B > j.4D > dl j.2C > 2A > 5B > 2C > jc j.B > j.AB > jc j.C > j.236C > j.2C	Anywhere	4182 (3762)	40 (52)	Medium	Universal Fatal BnB Route. Builds a lot of meter. Crucial to know for punishing bad anti-airs or bad mashes. Present this more to make your opponent think twice about anti-airing your approaches.
FC j.2C/236C > 2C > (dl) j.C > (dash) 2B > jc j.B > j.AB > j.236A~A > j.4B~B > j.6B~B > j.4D > dl j.2C > 2A > 2C > jc j.B > j.AB > j.236C > j.2C	Anywhere	4259 (3829)		Medium	Notes: Alternate ZeBo fatal route. Need to adjust if started from j.2C by jumping back after 2C.
j.236x~B > j.4B~B > j.6B~B > j.4D > j.2C	Anywhere	2232 (2009)	16 (20)	Easy	B Crescent Slash confirm.
j.236x~B > j.4B~B > j.4D > (dl.) j.6B~A > (66) 5A > 2B > j.B > j.AB > j.AA > j.236C > j.2C	Anywhere	2798 (2513)	24 (32)	Medium	Advanced B Crescent Slash confirm. The delay for the B Moonsault into A Crescent Slash can be tricky to get consistent, but the difference in damage and meter gain is worth it.
j.236x~B > j.4B~B > j.4D > (dl.) j.6B~A > (66) 5B > 2B > j.B > j.AB > j.AA > j.236C > j.2C	Anywhere	2967 (2009)	25 (33)	Hard	Optimised B Crescent Slash confirm. In addition to the aforementioned delay, the microdash before the 5B is rather tight, but match-practical after good practice. This route also allows for more damaging combo extensions with Sukukaja since 5A was not used.
5D > 5DD > j.B > j.AB > j.AA > j.236C > j.2C	Anywhere	2128 (1915)	16 (20)	Easy	5D confirm. Delay 5DD slightly for an easier time to run up and hit j.B
CH 5D > 5DD > 2A > 2B > 2C > j.B > j.AB > jc j.C > j.236C > j.2C	Anywhere	2613 (2348)	20 (26)	Medium	CH 5D confirm, the normals before 2C are added to allow Jiraiya to disappear offscreen or he will perform 2C at his position. The timing to land the 2A is not that lenient and requires some practice to get used to.

Meterless A Starter Combos (Note: Values in brackets represent combo damage or SP gain for Shadow Yosuke)

Combo	Position	Damage	Meter Gain	Difficulty	Notes
5A > 5AA > 5C > 2C > 236AB > j.236B~B > j.4B~B > j.6B~B > j.4D > dl j.2C	Anywhere	2453 (2202)	-15 (-12)	Easy	Simple 25 SP EX Dash Spring extension
5B > 5C > 2C > 236AB > j.236B~B > j.4B~B > j.6B~B > j.4D > dl j.2C	Anywhere	3151 (2831)	-16 (-12)	Easy	Simple 25 SP EX Dash Spring extension. You must immediately chain 5C after 5B's hits and EX Dash Spring after 2C or there is a chance that your opponent will recover in time. For this reason, it is recommended that you don't let all 3 hits of 5B rip and instead cancel as soon as possible into the rest of the combo for consistency, unless you're good.
5B > 5C > 2C > 236B > j.4CD > dl j.2C > 2A > 2B > 2C > j.C > j.236C > j.2C	Anywhere	3278 (2946)		Hard	New EX Flying Flash Cut extension allowing for a 2A pickup after j2C, however, this is rather tight.
5AAA > j.236C > j.2AB > Airdash dl j.B > dash 2B > hjc j.A > j.AA > j.AB > j.236C > j.2A	Anywhere	2069 (1852) + 1 Kunai Poison Stack		Hard
5B > 5C > 2C > 236B > j.4C > j.2AB > Airdash j.C > dash 2B > hjc j.A > j.AA > j.AB > j.236C > j.2C	Anywhere	3033 (2728) + 1 Kunai Poison Stack		Hard

Combo	Position	Damage	Meter Gain	Difficulty	Notes
5A > 5AA > 5B > 5C > 2C > 2AB > 236B > j.4C > j.2C	Corner	1810 (1627)	20 (25)	Very Easy	Easy 5A combo in the corner.
5AAA > (slight delay) j.B > j.2B > (land) 669 > j.B > j.AB > j.C > j.236C > j.2C	Corner	2073	23	Hard	Normal Yosuke Exclusive. Kunai rejump combo in the corner. The trick to landing this is to delay j.B slightly so Yosuke lands closer to the ground for faster recovery so he can quickly dash in and link j.B off the kunai wallstick. Not necessary to learn but useful for optimal gameplay.
5AAA > j.2A > (land) 669 > j.AA > j.AB > j.B > j.236C > j.2C	Corner	1843	28	Medium	Shadow Yosuke Exclusive. Kunai rejump combo in the deep corner using A flying Kunai instead. Not necessary to learn but useful for optimal gameplay.
5AAA > j.2B > (land) 669 > j.B > j.AB > j.AA > j.236C > j.2C	Near Corner	1835	28	Medium	Shadow Yosuke Exclusive. j.B is used for its superior range over j.A. Not necessary to learn but useful for optimal gameplay.
