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.

5C

---|---|---|---|---|---|
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. |
2A
2A | Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
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. It can also easily be used out of a dash, unlike 4A. Terrible scaling both as a combo starter and as a combo part. |
2B
2B |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
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. |
2C
2C | Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Yu's old 2AB, his sweep. 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

j.B
j.B | Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
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. |
j.C
j.C Raging Lion |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
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. |
Universal Mechanics
Ground Throw
Ground Throw 5B+C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag

---|---|---|---|---|---|
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. |

Partner Skills
5P

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
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. Note that if the opponent is hit by the first hit while too high in the air, the second won't connect. |
6P
6P Zio |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Yu's heavy Zio, his best neutral assist thanks to its decent speed and excellent range. Full screen projectile that helps the point character approach the opponent safely. |
4P
4P |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Yu's old 2D/j.D. Izanagi dives down from above Yu, dragging airborne opponents downward before impacting the ground and launching them. His weakest assist by far as it lacks range, damage, and screen control without being the effective anti-air that most other 4P's are. Used only in specific combos and never in neutral. |
Distortion Skills
Ziodyne
Ziodyne 236B+C (air OK) |

Cross Slash
Cross Slash 214B+C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
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.
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. |
Distortion Skill Duo
Cross Slash P during Main Character's Distortion Skill |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Tag-in version of Cross Slash that calls Yu to the opponents location for the attack. Only use this if it will kill, otherwise meter should be conserved for EX Zio use. Thanks to 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. |
Astral Heat
Myriad Truths 222B+C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
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. |
