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 in the corner, leading into good damage without an assist.

* On standing hit, leads into a timed follow-up. If done as soon as possible, Yu gets best possible oki. He can get more damage and meter when timed properly. A late follow-up provides the fewest benefits, having poor damage, metergain, and oki.
* Follow-up damage, meter, and timing changes if partner is available.
 
Yu's old 5AB, his All-Out Attack. Decently fast overhead that is unsafe on block. 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 2A. 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. Terrible scaling both as a combo starter and as a combo part.

Yu's old 2B. This is his go to anti-air, which can be jump canceled for combo follow-ups or mix-ups. Is not air unblockable or fully invincible like his other anti-air, Big Gamble, but is much safer on block and whiff thanks to having cancel options and the ability to burst. Can pick up opponents who are flat on the ground which is crucial for his double Cross-Slash combos. 5AA leads into more optimal damage for jump cancel combos, so use that instead.

Also used in combos 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).

Detailed description of the usefulness of the move go here
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.

Aerial Ender with great Corner carry potential
 
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 to end air combos with good corner carry and decent oki, as well as a mix-up tool if he still has an assist available, as Raging Lion is unsafe on block and cannot lead into a combo on hit without help. Note that the 15 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 an assist or the corner. 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.

Yu summons his persona, which creates a spear of lightning energy. Travels horizontally from Izanagi's current position and hits once.
-------
-------
A: The projectile is incredibly slow.
A / Light Version:
* Fastest meterless version of Zio.
* Slowest moving 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 hit by grounded Light Zio. An example would be (anti air counter hit 2B > Light Zio > 5A).
-------
-------
B: The attack is a lot faster, but forces Yu and his persona to go into a longer recovery state.
B / Heavy Version:
* Slowest version of Zio.
* Fastest moving meterless 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.

Same as the grounded version, but now the endlag 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.
Detailed description of the usefulness of the move go here
-------
-------
A:
A / Light Version:
* Mostly the same as the ground version.
* Least amount of landing lag among the meterless versions of Zio.
 
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:
B / Heavy Version:
* Mostly the same as the ground version.
* Most amount of landing lag.
 
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.

Staple ground combo ender. Launches opponents high enough to combo into most characters' 5P assist for easy combo extensions.
* Hits low.
* Secondary startup measured at full screen (max range exceeds screen width)
 
Yu and Izanagi team up to do a sliding attack. 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: It is similar to the C version of Swift Strike from Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, but has one less recovery frame. Safe at max range.
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: Travels slightly faster and further horizontally than 214A, but with higher recovery.
B / Heavy Version:
* Hits three times.
* Slowest version.
* Least safe version.


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.

A 4 hit projectile.
Yu's best metered move and his best special in general. In neutral, the attack is lightening 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. 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).

Used in combos to increase corner carry, to allow for easy mid-combo Active Changes, or to continue combos that the other versions couldn't (like after max range 5AAA). 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 this move is unsafe on block regardless of the distance it is used and that Big Gamble can only be used on hit, this move shouldn't be used in pressure.

Yu's old persona-less super, a full-screen lunge that is now a powerful assist. 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.

Very good lock down assist, unlike the version Yu uses by himself. The long blockstun of this assist allows the point character to do apply mixups safely, making it his best assist for pressure. On hit, the first two hits leave opponents standing while the last one ground bounces.

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.

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.
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.

* Launches opponent instead of crumpling, similarily to last hit of Thunder God Dance from P4AU


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 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.

Extremely easy to combo into. (214B, throw)
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.

Overview

"This is a battle we can't lose..."

Backstory

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.

Playstyle

Narukami is considered to be a well-rounded character that can be played both Aggressively and Defensively due to how versatile he is.

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

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Good balance of damage, range, and mobility, all while having very low execution requirements.
  • Yu has excellent extended combo potential with assists.
  • Balanced mixture of highs and lows thanks to Yu's 2A, Swift Strike (which has quick startup), aerial normals, and 5C.
  • Swift Strike and j.C have excellent corner carry.
  • His Ziodyne distortion can punish from fullscreen and has high damage. It also lasts a very long time, so Duo Distortions with low cooldown can follow up for a combo.
  • Has a reversal action that launches him in the air, allowing it to serve as a decent anti-air.
  • Relatively fast startup on 5C, despite its lower range compared to those of other characters.
  • Very long range on Yu's 5BB string, and this move also happens to be his 6P assist.
  • Has multiple full-screen projectiles.
  • Combos and blockstrings are very simple and linear, doesn't have much advanced tech.
  • If Izanagi is hit or Yu is hit while Izanagi is still on-screen, he will lose 5% of his max HP.
  • All of his specials (except EX Zio) are unsafe at close range, leaving Yu vulnerable at the end of blockstrings.
  • Requires an assist to convert a grounded hit into an air combo. Yu has poor damage without a launcher.
  • He also requires an assist to convert Raging Lion and Swift Strike mix ups into a combo.
  • Cannot link Yu's 5A normal string into his 5B string through conventional means, resulting in short and easily interrupted blockstings.
  • Although 5B has very long range, it also happen to have very long startup.
