''"This is a battle we can't lose..."''
He has amazing ground and air normals that can be converted into combos easily. To separate him from Jin and Hyde, Yu has a solid High/Low mix-up from {{clr|3|j.C}} and Swift Strike which lead to good damage with an assist,making him extremely scary once he gets in. His {{clr|5|5P}} assist is also one of the best pressure tools in BBTag,it can be used to lock down an opponent and set up Active Switch mix-up or Cross Combo mix-up.

===Backstory===
{{BBTag/Infobox
 
| fastestAttack = [[#4A|4A]] (6F)
Yu Narukami is the protagonist of Persona 4. He is a high school student who moves away to the countryside of Inaba to live with his uncle Ryotaro Dojima and cousin Nanako Dojima for a year as a result of his parents working abroad, and attends Yasogami High School. Establishing the "Investigation Team" with his high school friends they were able to solve a series of homicide cases that was happening in the town of Inaba.

}}
Before moving to Inaba, Yu felt cold and distant towards those around him. However, this changes after he starts building friendships with the Investigation Team as well as the residents of Inaba. As a result, Yu becomes more cordial in his interactions with others - opening himself up more and gaining a sense of maturity throughout the events of Persona 4. Now, Yu realizes his need to draw strength from the bonds he forges in order to persevere through life.
{{ProsAndCons
 
|intro=
===Playstyle===
|pros=
Narukami is considered to be a well-rounded character that can be played both Aggressively and Defensively due to how versatile he is.
*Yu's greatest strength is a lack of major weaknesses of any kind.
 
He has amazing ground and air normals that can be confirmed into the combo easily. To separate him from Jin and Hyde, Yu has a solid High/Low mix-up from j.C and Swift Strike which lead to good damage with an assist making him extremely scary once he gets in. His assist is also one of the best pressure assists that can be used to lock down an opponent and set up Active Switch mix-up or Cross Combo mix-up.  
 
In general, Narukami can do everything and very good at them as long as he has assists available.
 
===Strengths/Weaknesses===

*If Izanagi is hit or Yu is hit while Izanagi is still on-screen, he will lose 5% of his max HP; likewise he also has some laggy moves that leave his Persona exposed.
*Above average recovery on nearly every move. As Izanagi ignores reject guard it is unlikely Yu will whiff so this con is negligible.
*All of his specials (except EX Zio) are unsafe at close range, leaving Yu vulnerable at the end of blockstrings.
*Relatively poor head invulnerability and hitbox on his {{clr|2|2B}}.
*Requires an assist to convert a grounded hit into an air combo. Yu has poor damage without a launcher.

*Needs assists to make Raging Lion and Swift Strike mix ups safe / convert them into a combo.

*Very resource hungry, needs meter for full corner combos or for good oki.

Yu's old 5A, but one frame slower. As this is Yu's fastest normal it is vital for interrupting opponents and starting pressure. This move will stop all of Yu's forward momentum, making it difficult to do out of a dash. It can combo from EX Zio after 2C in the corner, but with good timing 5A can be used instead which is more optimal.

* Lightly pushes airborne opponents away.
Fantastic speed and range makes this move Yu's go to button in neutral. This is Yu's most reliable jump-cancel option for blockstrings as it can be rebeat into and from {{clr|2|2B}}, {{clr|2|5B}}, and {{clr|2|5BB}}. Jump towards opponents for a high/low mix-up by utilizing either {{clr|1|j.A}} or empty jump-in {{clr|1|2A}} if the opponent is respecting Yu's offense. Jump away to disengage and return to neutral.
Yu's old 5C. Persona follow-up attack that can be jump canceled to extend combos or mix-up opponents usually with Raging Lion, but IAD j.A or empty jump-in 2A can be used instead if the opponent respects Yu's offense. Can only be used once per block string so be wary of canceling this move into 2B. May whiff if 5A connected at max range. Yu must jump cancel forward to continue into an air combo after this move hits airborne foes as it pushes opponents away from him.

Izanagi quickly charges forward, dragging his sword along the ground for one hit then thrusting forward for a second hit. Fantastic in blockstrings as Izanagi is unaffected by Reject Guards and will reach the opponent even if {{clr|1|5A}} was blocked at max range. {{clr|1|5AA}}'s speed allows it to combo after {{clr|1|5A}} even if it hit at max range. The 1st hit may whiff against airborne opponents, but the 2nd hit will catch them.

* Launches airborne opponents.
* Knocks down airborne opponents on hit.
Yu's old 2C. Izanagi stabs at the opponent and inflicts a large amount of hitstun on grounded hit while launching them instead if they are airborne. Can extend combos in the corner by canceling into 5B if they were already airborne. Corner launch also allows for rejump combos via jump-cancel IAD. Combos directly into 5B on grounded counter hit.
Knocks aerial opponents into the ground. Can true blockstring into {{clr|2|5B}} even if it is Reject Guarded. Gives Yu a guaranteed safe-jump set-up by forward jump canceling, doing a delayed air dash, and attacking with {{clr|1|j.A}}. This works against forward, back, and neutral tech so long as Yu isn't too close or too far from the opponent when {{clr|1|5AAA}} connects.

A unique version of Zio that can only be done at the end of autocombos. The projectile is the same produced by EX Zio on impact, but only hits once, does less damage, and is unsafe on block. Combo extension is only possible via assist. Much harder to use than its 4AAAA counterpart as it will whiff against airborne opponents mid-screen because of 5AAA's launching properties. Leads into respectable damage within cornered Cross Combos but requires particular partners for mid-screen usage due the aforementioned launch on 5AAA.
* Opponent cannot Cross Burst during this attack.
{{clr|1|5AAAA}} is unsafe on block. The high hitstun of {{clr|1|4AAA}} along with its knock down and jump cancelable properties means that Yu always has better options for more damage, meter gain, and Oki. Only use it if you have hitstun to spare and an assist available for combo extension.

Yu's old 5D. Solid poke with long range at the cost of slow startup. Does not normally combo from his A normals due to the slow start up, but it can combo in the corner if the opponent is airborne at a certain height. Can be combed into mid-screen via assists.

{{clr|2|5BB}} is not jump cancelable on its own but can chain into {{clr|1|5A}} or {{clr|2|2B}} for ground-to-air combos. Huge hitstun, high launch height, and low knockback make this Yu's best move for extending combos with EX Zio. By partially charging it, Yu can close the distance and combo into a variety of different attacks, including a solo, non-Resonance Blaze double Cross Slash combo by delaying the super point blank in the corner.

* Knocks down on air hit.
Yu's old 5DD. As this follow-up now puts Yu into a lengthy startup and recovery animation, this move cannot lead into the set-ups and mix-ups it previously had. Used to plummet opponents back into the ground during combos, which can lead into either into sweep followed by Swift Strike (EX Zio oki or Cross Slash work if meter is available) or into a relaunch with 2B mid-screen or 5AAA in the corner. Can also combo into 5A if it hit a grounded opponent but 5B must have been used point-blank for this to work mid-screen. Outside of 5A's range, only EX Swift Strike, Ziodyne, and any version of Zio can follow-up 5BB mid-screen.


}}
{{clr|2|5BBB}}'s startup is long, but it's safe on block, hits overhead, and can be special-canceled on hit. The angle Yu dives at allows him to connect this move from almost full-screen, greatly improving his mix-up potential. Can create 50/50's with Active Switches and Cross Combos, even true unblockable set-ups depending on partner choice. Can loop into itself in the corner by hitting opponents while they are above Narukami, then picking them up with {{clr|2|2B}}.

Yu's old 5AB, his All-Out Attack. Decently fast overhead that is unsafe on block. Inputting the follow-up as soon as possible results in less damage and meter but provides better oki. Perfect timing deals max damage and grants one free bar of meter.  Yu has a better overhead in Raging Lion, which can be lead into a full combo on hit or a pressure reset with the use of an assist. Sees more use once Yu is on his own, though this move is never used in combos regardless of his available resources.

Yu's old j.B. This is Yu's best jump-in and safest overhead. By changing up the timing of his follow-ups (j.AA, j.B, and j.C) and using 2A upon touching the ground, Yu can decide to hit only once with this move and go into a low to break through guards or he can let it rip to go for additional overheads, up to four by doing IAD j.A > j.AA > j.C. This makes Yu's air game incredibly oppressive, which can then be used to bait reversals for big damage. However, Yu needs an assist to cover him in order to safely set-up a jump-in and to convert Raging Lion into a combo.

However, Yu needs an assist to cover him in order to safely set-up a jump-in and to convert Raging Lion into a combo.

Yu's old j.BB/j.2B. This move is no longer a command normal, making it difficult to use its amazing hit box for ambiguous cross-ups or to contest other similar air normals with less range like it could in the P4AU. Is mostly used as blockstring and air combo filler, though j.B leads into better damage and metergain.

Yu's old j.C. This move's decent range and extremely long untech time on counterhit make it an great air-to-air. It's also his highest damage jump-in starter, although keep in mind that it is ''not a high''. In combos, the large amount of hitstun this attack has allows Yu to combo into Ziodyne while in the air.

Yu's old 214X. Unlike previous entries where Raging Lion was a special move that had a light, heavy, and EX version which each had different properties in the air for a grand total of six variations, Yu now only has the Air Heavy version. It is used in combos to bring airborne opponents to the ground to end them with Swift Strike or Cross Slash, providing both fantastic corner carry and oki. Using EX Zio after Raging Lion puts opponents into the corner allows Yu to act freely as Izanagi covers all possible tech options, making it easy for Yu to shut down any wake-up attacks. However, it is difficult to use this move as a mix-up tool if assists are unavailable, as Raging Lion is '''very''' unsafe on block. Note that the 16 frame start-up is misleading for ground blockstrings as it doesn't account for a jump's start-up frames.

Yu grabs his opponent and kicks them high into the air. Vital for both mix-ups and combos, as this is the only move Yu has that can put opponents into an airborne state without meter, an assist, or the corner. Both forward and backward throw are identical.
Combos off of this attack can guarantee a corner position without using meter or assists, making the reward for a successful throw very high. Both forward and backward throw are identical.

Yu's old BD, Furious Action. Yu preforms an uppercut with his sword that launches opponents into air. This is his go to reversal as well as his anti-air against air blocking opponents. The minimum damage makes this his most damaging meterless combo ender, but as it provides absolutely no Okizeme, it should only be used when it will kill the opponent. Note that while Raging Lion is the better air combo ender, hitstun may not allow Yu to end a combo with it which means Big Gamble should be used instead. For combo extensions or for making reversals safe, assists can be called preemptively, through only certain assists will work so choose your partner carefully. Also note that Yu cannot burst if he is hit during end lag so consider using a super instead if both meter and an assist is available.

The best version to use during neutral, as it has the lowest start-up and end lag while producing a projectile that stays on screen longer. Effective poke against opponents who lack the tools or resources to evade or blow through projectiles. Be careful as there are projectile invincible attacks and multi-hit projectiles that can punish this attack, including most supers. In combos, Yu can use this against airborne opponents to bring them lower to the ground and into his 5A, though they must be as high as possible when they are hit by the grounded Light Zio. The window to link Light Zio to 5A is incredibly small and can only be achieved through both tight execution and an assist, making it more trouble than it is worth.

Yu's best metered move and his best special in general. In neutral, the attack is lightning fast and can destroy multi-hitting projectiles. The charge allows Yu to control the screen and cover his approach options (offensive) or use both Izanagi and the Zio as a meat shield (defensive). During pressure, this move gives Yu fantastic frame trapping, pressure resetting, and mix-up covering capabilities that he desperately needs. This move is also Yu's strongest oki tool as it can be canceled into after landing Raging Lion and the combination of the move's range and ability to be delayed allows Yu to cover every wake-up option that a cornered opponent can use. Lastly, EX Zio gives Yu the ability to put opponents into a juggle state without the help of an assist which greatly improves his solo damage. This tool's potential further increases with assists, though note that constant use of EX Zio could deprive Yu of key defensive options (such as Reject Guard or reversal supers).

Izanagi fires a large beam of electricity that pushes opponents back to the other side of the screen. Start-up is fully invincible and the beam travels full screen, making this a fantastic tool for punishing opponents for doing basically anything. While some characters struggle to punish this move at full screen, it is always unsafe at close range. This super's long active frames are perfect for partners with a short Duo Distortion Skill, allowing for combo extensions on hit or free set-ups on block. Doesn't gain any notably different traits in Resonance Blaze other than an increase in damage. Level 4 RB grants this super massive amounts of chip damage which is useful against opponents who lack either the tools or the resources to punish it. Rarely used to end combos as, thanks to Raging Lion, Cross Slash can be used instead for its better damage and oki.

A single target, yet versatile super that can be used as a reversal that can be harder to punish for some characters at a longer ranges.  
|input=214B+C
 
|name=Cross Slash
This super can be followed up on in various ways with {{clr|2|2B}}, though the player must be cognizant of the combo timer when attempting to do so. There are 3 primary ways without Resonance Blaze one could do this; picking up a ground splatted opponent with a running {{clr|2|2B}} directly into the super, spacing yourself off of an airborne opponent (whether it be from an assist or riskily doing so in neutral) or alone by delaying a Cross Slash after a point blank {{clr|2|5BB}} in the corner, though losing the corner in the process. Additionally, Yu Narukami gets follow ups on a select few characters with a close Cross Slash in the corner without needed to reverse it. These characters are Ragna, Noel, Naoto Kurogane, Tager, and Blitztank with a {{clr|2|2B}}. It is up to the player to be cognizant in their combo structure, as these can be expensive routes and use meter that can be used on his great EX moves such as {{clr|3|236C}}, yet can lead to some of his best solo damage and prohibit your opponents burst effectively.  
|data=
 
{{AttackDataHeader-BBTag}}
With Resonance Blaze, one can simply follow this move up by super cancelling from a launched opponent being hit by the first hit of {{clr|3|214C}}'s follow up, commonly prefaced with {{clr|3|2C}}. Prior concepts apply as well except for the character specific routes.

Additionally, the knockdown this super causes leads to a safejump in the corner, but it can be beaten by forward ground tech.

* Follow-up only comes out on hit.
* Minimum damage 625, 1440 (2065)
Yu does his Cross Slash super from P4A : a curving slash, followed by his Persona descending from the sky upon the opponent for an electrifying hit. Landing this super "backwards" on an airborne opponent by using Yu's forward step during the move leaves him close enough to follow up with 2B. While this can serve as a potential finisher/match ender in certain situations, unlike in Arena, where the hitstun decay system allowed longer followups after this method, in BBTag, untech time will really quickly decay during the somewhat long animation. By the time it's over, Yu will barely have time for 2B -> Big Gamble/another Cross Slash in most cases, or a short air combo if the super landed really early (at max after a few hits). It's still a valid option to keep in mind, but not something that should be relied upon : Yu can easily deal much higher damage via assists, or via more practical combo routes.

* Follow-up only comes out on hit.

While the same potential to followup like after the base version applies to the Resonance version also, the animation takes even longer to finish due to the change to the last hit. Because of this, the potential to followup is even lower than the base version. However, if, for some reason, it ever lands after a hit, or raw against a crossup attempt, it can be followed up with a 2B into another Cross Slash with moderate ease. This technique can earn clutch wins if used capitalized on correctly, but it's still not something that should be relied upon much.

The BBTag wiki has major gaps in information. The game has gone through numerous significant changes since its release. As a result, many BBTag pages on Dustloop Wiki are out of date or lacking important information.

We need your help expanding the content for this game. If you have knowledge to share, or know people who can help, please contribute to the wiki by editing sections where you can.

Overview

Overview

Narukami is a well-rounded character who's versatile moveset allows for Offensive and Defensive playstyles.

He has amazing ground and air normals that can be converted into combos easily. To separate him from Jin and Hyde, Yu has a solid High/Low mix-up from j.C and Swift Strike which lead to good damage with an assist,making him extremely scary once he gets in. His 5P assist is also one of the best pressure tools in BBTag,it can be used to lock down an opponent and set up Active Switch mix-up or Cross Combo mix-up.

Pros
Cons
  • Yu's greatest strength is a lack of major weaknesses of any kind.
  • Good balance of damage, range, and mobility.
  • Has multiple full-screen projectiles, including Ex Zio which is +7 point blank, and can be delayed for up to ~90F.
  • Flexible mix-up game with many gatlings as well as jump and throw cancel options.
  • Excellent extended combo potential with assists or meter.
  • Swift Strike and Raging Lion have excellent corner carry, so much that both combined can guarantee a corner position.
  • His Ziodyne distortion can punish from fullscreen and has high damage, it lasts long enough that short distortion duos can be followed up for a combo.
  • Cross slash is a great combo ender, having high minimum damage and time for a safe jump after.
  • Above average recovery on nearly every move. As Izanagi ignores reject guard it is unlikely Yu will whiff so this con is negligible.
  • Relatively poor head invulnerability and hitbox on his 2B.

Normal Moves

4A

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln
4A 1000 All 6 3 14 -5 B
4AA 1500 All 7 4 18 -5 B
4AAA 1700 All 9 3 22 -6 B
4AAAA 900×3 All 14 2,2,2 Total 56 -17 P1
  • Jump cancelable on both hit and block.
  • Throw cancelable on both hit and block.

As 4A is Yu's fastest normal it is vital for interrupting opponents and starting pressure. This move will stop all of Yu's forward momentum, making it difficult to do out of a dash. It can combo from EX Zio after 2C in the corner, but with good timing 5A can be used instead which is more optimal.


  • Jump cancelable on hit.
  • Throw cancelable on both hit and block.

4AA is used almost exclusively as blockstring and grounded combo filler. Can whiff if the opponent was hit by 5A too high in the air.


  • Jump cancelable on both hit and block.
  • Knocks down on air hit.

4AAA's knock down properties are used to go into 2C and then into either a super or Swift Strike (both if he is in Resonance Blaze). Also grants safe-jump oki if used against airborne opponents. Can't cancel into other A or B normals so use 5A to extend blockstrings instead.


  • Counts as a projectile.
  • Knocks down on hit.

4AAAA is unsafe on block. The high hitstun of 4AAA along with its knock down and jump cancelable properties means that Yu always has better options for more damage, meter gain, and Oki. Only use it if you have hitstun to spare and an assist available for combo extension.

  • Jump cancelable on both hit and block.
  • Throw cancelable on both hit and block.

Fantastic speed and range makes this move Yu's go to button in neutral. This is Yu's most reliable jump-cancel option for blockstrings as it can be rebeat into and from 2B, 5B, and 5BB. Jump towards opponents for a high/low mix-up by utilizing either j.A or empty jump-in 2A if the opponent is respecting Yu's offense. Jump away to disengage and return to neutral.


  • Second hit is jump cancelable on hit.
  • Second hit is throw cancelable on both hit and block.

Izanagi quickly charges forward, dragging his sword along the ground for one hit then thrusting forward for a second hit. Fantastic in blockstrings as Izanagi is unaffected by Reject Guards and will reach the opponent even if 5A was blocked at max range. 5AA's speed allows it to combo after 5A even if it hit at max range. The 1st hit may whiff against airborne opponents, but the 2nd hit will catch them.


  • Jump cancelable on hit.
  • Knocks down airborne opponents on hit.

Knocks aerial opponents into the ground. Can true blockstring into 5B even if it is Reject Guarded. Gives Yu a guaranteed safe-jump set-up by forward jump canceling, doing a delayed air dash, and attacking with j.A. This works against forward, back, and neutral tech so long as Yu isn't too close or too far from the opponent when 5AAA connects.


  • Counts as a projectile.
  • Knocks down on hit.
  • Opponent cannot Cross Burst during this attack.

5AAAA is unsafe on block. The high hitstun of 4AAA along with its knock down and jump cancelable properties means that Yu always has better options for more damage, meter gain, and Oki. Only use it if you have hitstun to spare and an assist available for combo extension.

5BBB 2000 High 23 7 19L -3 H
  • Jump cancelable on hit.

5B rebeats into and from 5A, making it a staple of his combos and blockstrings. Can be used as blockstring filler even after Yu is Reject Guarded. Knocks airborne opponents away on hit so avoid delaying this attack in combos or risk the opponent falling out of the combo.


  • Launches opponents on hit.

5BB is not jump cancelable on its own but can chain into 5A or 2B for ground-to-air combos. Huge hitstun, high launch height, and low knockback make this Yu's best move for extending combos with EX Zio. By partially charging it, Yu can close the distance and combo into a variety of different attacks, including a solo, non-Resonance Blaze double Cross Slash combo by delaying the super point blank in the corner.


  • Ground slides opponents on hit.

5BBB's startup is long, but it's safe on block, hits overhead, and can be special-canceled on hit. The angle Yu dives at allows him to connect this move from almost full-screen, greatly improving his mix-up potential. Can create 50/50's with Active Switches and Cross Combos, even true unblockable set-ups depending on partner choice. Can loop into itself in the corner by hitting opponents while they are above Narukami, then picking them up with 2B.

  • Follow-up damage, meter gain, oki, and timing changes if partner is available.

Decently fast overhead that is unsafe on block. Inputting the follow-up as soon as possible results in less damage and meter but provides better oki. Perfect timing deals max damage and grants one free bar of meter. Yu has a better overhead in Raging Lion, which can be lead into a full combo on hit or a pressure reset with the use of an assist. Sees more use once Yu is on his own, though this move is never used in combos regardless of his available resources.

2A

1000 Low 7 3 12 -1 F
  • Cancels into itself, even on whiff.
  • Throw cancelable on both hit and block.

Can chain to and from 4A and itself. Absolutely vital tool in Yu's mix-up game, as it is very non-committal unlike his Swift Strike and Raging Lion. Only low that can be followed up with either a low, high, or throw. It can also easily be used out of a dash, unlike 4A. Terrible scaling both as a combo starter and as a combo part.

  • Hits twice, once near the beginning of the swing and once more near the end.
  • Jump cancelable on either hit, both on hit and on block.
  • Head invulnerable.
  • Becomes standing state during recovery.

A fast versatile button usable as an anti-air. Is not air unblockable or fully invincible like his other anti-air, Big Gamble. Can pick up opponents who are flat on the ground which is crucial for his double Cross-Slash combos.

It's relatively poor head invulnerability and shorter vertical hitbox makes it susceptible to anti-air baits. However, it's fast startup gives it value as an abare button. Press wisely.

  • Yu is in standing state during recovery

2C

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln
1700 Low 13 3 20 -4 F
  • Knocks down on hit.

Universal low that is used in mix-ups as a low that can be made safe with an assist or EX Zio, making it more committal than 2A but less than Swift Strike. High damage starter that requires an assist to convert into a combo. Also used for his double Cross Slash set-up and to add damage at the end of a highly scaled combo before a super (usually Cross Slash).

j.A

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln
j.A 1000×2 High 8 3, 6 14 H
j.AA 1500 High 7 3 15 H
  • Hits twice.
  • Double jump cancelable on either hit, both on hit and on block.

This is Yu's best jump-in and safest overhead. By changing up the timing of his follow-ups (j.AA, j.B, and j.C) and using 2A upon touching the ground, Yu can decide to hit only once with this move and go into a low to break through guards or he can let it rip to go for additional overheads, up to four by doing IAD j.A > j.AA > j.C. This makes Yu's air game incredibly oppressive, which can then be used to bait reversals for big damage. However, Yu needs an assist to cover him in order to safely set-up a jump-in and to convert Raging Lion into a combo.


  • Double jump cancelable on both hit and block.

j.AA is no longer a command normal, making it difficult to use its amazing hit box for ambiguous cross-ups or to contest other similar air normals with less range like it could in the P4AU. Is mostly used as blockstring and air combo filler, though j.B leads into better damage and metergain.

  • Double jump cancelable on both hit and block.

j.B's decent range and extremely long untech time on counterhit make it an great air-to-air. It's also his highest damage jump-in starter, although keep in mind that it is not a high. In combos, the large amount of hitstun this attack has allows Yu to combo into Ziodyne while in the air.

  • Special and Super cancelable on hit.
  • Landing recovery based on height j.C was performed, expand chart below for details
  • On any hit or block j.C has 29f landing recovery
  • Frame advantage based on soonest possible j.C

Unlike previous entries where Raging Lion was a special move that had a light, heavy, and EX version which each had different properties in the air for a grand total of six variations, Yu now only has the heavy versions in 5BBB and j.C. It is used in combos to bring airborne opponents to the ground to end them with Swift Strike or Cross Slash, providing both fantastic corner carry and oki. Using EX Zio after Raging Lion puts opponents into the corner allows Yu to act freely as Izanagi covers all possible tech options, making it easy for Yu to shut down any wake-up attacks. However, it is difficult to use this move as a mix-up tool if assists are unavailable, as Raging Lion is very unsafe on block. Note that the 16 frame start-up is misleading for ground blockstrings as it doesn't account for a jump's start-up frames.

  • Hits twice, once near the beginning of the swing and once more at the end.
  • Yu cannot Cross Burst if he is hit during the recovery of this move.
  • 5% Minimum Damage: 85x2 = 170.

This is his go to reversal as well as his anti-air against air blocking opponents. The minimum damage makes this his most damaging meterless combo ender, but as it provides absolutely no Okizeme, it should only be used when it will kill the opponent. Note that while Raging Lion is the better air combo ender, hitstun may not allow Yu to end a combo with it which means Big Gamble should be used instead. For combo extensions or for making reversals safe, assists can be called preemptively, through only certain assists will work so choose your partner carefully. Also note that Yu cannot burst if he is hit during end lag so consider using a super instead if both meter and an assist is available.

A / Light Version:

  • Fastest meterless version of Zio.
  • Slowest moving version of Zio.
  • Lowest damage version of Zio.

The best version to use during neutral, as it has the lowest start-up and end lag while producing a projectile that stays on screen longer. Effective poke against opponents who lack the tools or resources to evade or blow through projectiles. Be careful as there are projectile invincible attacks and multi-hit projectiles that can punish this attack, including most supers. In combos, Yu can use this against airborne opponents to bring them lower to the ground and into his 5A, though they must be as high as possible when they are hit by the grounded Light Zio. The window to link Light Zio to 5A is incredibly small and can only be achieved through both tight execution and an assist, making it more trouble than it is worth.


B / Heavy Version:

  • Slowest version of Zio.
  • Fastest moving meterless version of Zio.
  • Highest meterless damage version of Zio.
  • Knock down on hit.

This version doesn't see much use during neutral, but is valuable in combos where neither Swift Strike or a super would be viable. Knocks down standing opponents while bringing airborne opponents back down to the ground. The long recovery makes it difficult for Yu to continue his pressure safely, though assists can mitigate the risks.


The air version of Zio has endlag that lasts until reaching the ground on top of having additional landing lag. Note that Izanagi is placed where Yu launches Zio. Additional uses of Zio will be fired from that spot until Izanagi returns, gets hit, Yu recalls Izanagi by using a move that requires him, or if Yu gets hit.


A / Light Version:

  • Mostly the same as the ground version.
  • Least amount of landing lag among the meterless versions of Zio.
  • Begins falling on frame 32

Used often after an IABD right before touching the ground to zone out opponents while retreating. By placing Izanagi slightly off the ground, following Zios can deny both dashes and IAD's, forcing opponents to either retreat or jump-in from higher up which sets Yu up for easy anti-airs. Also used in Resonance Blaze combos right before using Ziodyne in air combos.


B / Heavy Version:

  • Mostly the same as the ground version.
  • Most amount of landing lag.
  • Begins falling on frame 32

Slow to start and end with little reward for a successful hit. Shouldn't be used other than to punish hilariously slow air actions by your opponents.

  • Hits low.

Staple ground combo ender. Launches opponents high enough to combo into most characters' 5P assist for easy combo extensions. Doesn't low profile versus mids or projectiles, so don't use this to blow through zoning.


A / Light Version:

  • Hits once.
  • Fastest start-up among the meterless versions.
  • Safest version on block.

Used to end almost all of Yu's meterless ground combos. Also used in pressure for a final low at the end of blockstrings. Can be made somewhat safe by hitting with only the tip of the attack.


B / Heavy Version:

  • Hits three times.
  • Slowest version.
  • Least safe version on block.

Used to drag opponents into the corner and to tack on damage before using an assist. In Resonance Blaze, this move is usually followed up with a super, primarily Cross Slash.

j.236C 1500, 400×3 All 13~102 Until Hit [2×3] Total 38+8L P1
  • Lowest start-up and cool-down, fastest traveling projectile, and most damaging version of Zio that hits 4 times.
  • Has the hitbox of the regular version during flight, but on impact it shares the autocombo's version's hitbox.
  • Holding C has Izanagi charge the projectile. The Zio is launched after a set amount of time or after the C button is released.
  • Yu is free to move and attack during the charge but cannot use his B Smart Combo, j.B., Swift Strike, or Zio.
  • Using throw, 5C, 2C, Raging Lion, Ziodyne, or Cross Slash will forcibly release the charge.
  • Using 4AAAA or 5AA during the charge will recall Izanagi without firing the Zio. Canceled charges won't refund the spent meter.

Yu's best metered move and his best special in general. In neutral, the attack is lightning fast and can destroy multi-hitting projectiles. The charge allows Yu to control the screen and cover his approach options (offensive) or use both Izanagi and the Zio as a meat shield (defensive). During pressure, this move gives Yu fantastic frame trapping, pressure resetting, and mix-up covering capabilities that he desperately needs. This move is also Yu's strongest oki tool as it can be canceled into after landing Raging Lion and the combination of the move's range and ability to be delayed allows Yu to cover every wake-up option that a cornered opponent can use. Lastly, EX Zio gives Yu the ability to put opponents into a juggle state without the help of an assist which greatly improves his solo damage. This tool's potential further increases with assists, though note that constant use of EX Zio could deprive Yu of key defensive options (such as Reject Guard or reversal supers).

  • Hits 5 times, all of which knockdown on hit.
  • Fastest start-up and travel speed among all versions of Swift Strike.
  • Can follow-up with Big Gamble by pressing A/B/C after the final hit of the slide successfully connects (will only occur on hit, not block).
  • Follow-up Big Gamble lacks the normal version's invincibility, hits 3 times, and always knocks down.

Used in combos to increase corner carry, to allow for easy mid-combo Active Changes, or to continue combos that the other versions can't. In Resonance Blaze, this move allows Yu to preform cross-up Cross Slash which can be followed up with additional attacks, most notably a second Cross Slash. The high speed and range of this move allows it to be used as a long range punish that, with assists, can be converted into much greater damage than a full-screen Zio. As of 2.0, the final hit of the slide is safe on block.

  • Hits twice.
  • Lifts grounded opponents on the first hit.
  • Wallbounces on the second hit.

Full-screen lunge. The wall bounce grants the point character a free combo and moderate corner carry. This is Yu's fastest assist and thus his most often used, especially for mid-combo Duo Changes. Cross Combo allows Yu to spam this move for easy loops. Note that if the opponent is hit by the first hit while too high in the air, the second won't connect.

  • Recalls Izanagi from his current position to wherever Yu is.

Start-up is fully invincible and the beam travels full screen, making this a fantastic tool for punishing opponents for doing basically anything. While some characters struggle to punish this move at full screen, it is always unsafe at close range. This super's long active frames are perfect for partners with a short Duo Distortion Skill, allowing for combo extensions on hit or free set-ups on block. Doesn't gain any notably different traits in Resonance Blaze other than an increase in damage. Level 4 RB grants this super massive amounts of chip damage which is useful against opponents who lack either the tools or the resources to punish it. Rarely used to end combos as, thanks to Raging Lion, Cross Slash can be used instead for its better damage and oki.

All 11(+70)+5 7 36 -22 B 1~22 All

A single target, yet versatile super that can be used as a reversal that can be harder to punish for some characters at a longer ranges.

This super can be followed up on in various ways with 2B, though the player must be cognizant of the combo timer when attempting to do so. There are 3 primary ways without Resonance Blaze one could do this; picking up a ground splatted opponent with a running 2B directly into the super, spacing yourself off of an airborne opponent (whether it be from an assist or riskily doing so in neutral) or alone by delaying a Cross Slash after a point blank 5BB in the corner, though losing the corner in the process. Additionally, Yu Narukami gets follow ups on a select few characters with a close Cross Slash in the corner without needed to reverse it. These characters are Ragna, Noel, Naoto Kurogane, Tager, and Blitztank with a 2B. It is up to the player to be cognizant in their combo structure, as these can be expensive routes and use meter that can be used on his great EX moves such as 236C, yet can lead to some of his best solo damage and prohibit your opponents burst effectively.

With Resonance Blaze, one can simply follow this move up by super cancelling from a launched opponent being hit by the first hit of 214C's follow up, commonly prefaced with 2C. Prior concepts apply as well except for the character specific routes.

Additionally, the knockdown this super causes leads to a safejump in the corner, but it can be beaten by forward ground tech.

  • Identical to Yu's solo version of Cross Slash except it deals slightly higher minimum damage, at the cost of less frame advantage on hit, making him lose his safejump and character specific follow ups.

Only use this if it will kill, otherwise meter should be conserved for EX Zio use. Because of how Yu enters the screen, it is almost impossible to land the reverse hit on this super and the scaling will be to high to do much with it anyway.

Yu's Astral charges the floor with electricity, instantly killing any opponent who lands in it. As this super instantly grants Yu victory on hit, it should be used whenever possible. Extremely easy to combo into (for example; 214B, throw, 5AAA on airborne opponents). This super is fully invincible which allows Yu to use this as a full screen punish, however it is lacking as a reversal because Yu must commit all of his meter and it is very unsafe on whiff or block.
