Overview

Overview

Yosuke is a quick rushdown character. His Dash spring and auto combos provide quick actions to pressure opponents and catch them in unlikely situations. His air game is good with his j.C, allowing for a variety of cross up potential from that move alone, and his quickness allows for good offensive tools to get the job done. With Yosuke, you want to stay offensive and keep good pressure while crossing up your opponent to keep them on the defensive.

Yosuke Hanamura

Yosuke Hanamura is a rushdown character that can overwhelm the opponent with speed and left-right mixups
Pros	Cons
Has great air mobility, as well as several air tools to help him out. High solo damage One of the fastest characters in the game. Great assist kit.	Weak pokes/midrange game Struggles against characters with strong air control Fastest air normal is 10f.

Unique Ability: Air Actions

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

His air action system in BBTAG still exist but to a much lesser extent (compared to the Arena series) since he only has 2 air specials (Moonsault and V Slash). They work almost like rekkas now off Moonsault / Dash Spring.

Hitting A during Moonsault / Dash Spring will give you V Slash
Hitting B or C during Dash Spring will give you Moonsault or EX Crescent Slash
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 also do manual inputs or 6/4+Button to change directions
You are able to cancel the start up for jC into air actions also using manual inputs.

3 Moonsaults and 1 V Slash can be used per jump. V Slash can’t be canceled into any air actions but you can manually moonsault/normals after recovery while in the air.

Normal Moves

4A

Anti-Airs, Neutral, Pressure, Confirms. This normal does it all!
Cool poses for hitconfirming a situation.

Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute
4A	1000	All	5	6	8	-2	B
4AA	1300	All	8	3	20	-6	B
4AAA	1700	All	10	3	22+0L	-6	H
4AAAA	600×6	All	14		Total: Until L+6L		P

This is one of Yosuke's three jump cancelable on block ground normals.
You can cancel 4A into itself. This makes it useful for pressure or hit confirms.

4AA is a pressure tool

On block, 4AAA sends Yosuke flying backwards, creating somewhat safe space.
Special cancelable on hit and block.

As the only "projectile" Yosuke has, 4AAAA does cause him to suspend in-place briefly in the air, which can avoid some characters' anti-airs and even some Reversal Actions.

5AAA	750×3	All	10	2,2,2	27+3L	-13	B
5AAAA	600×6	All	14		Total: Until L+6L		P

Jump cancelable on hit and block.

Always try to let all 3 hits land of 5A. The 5A framedata here applies when the three hits of the move connect, in the case that the move only hits twice it will have less blockstun and hitstun.

Large forward hitbox
Jump cancelable on hit
If enemy is airbourne (5A off certain assist pick ups), 5AA will bring them back towards the ground allowing for more flexible combos

5AAA is special cancelable after the 3rd hit on hit and block.
Unsafe on block because it leaves Yosuke airborne (unless special canceled).
Jump cancelable on hit.
Can combo into Moonsault on hit except on small characters (e.g. Linne)

As the only "projectile" Yosuke has, 5AAAA does cause him to suspend in-place briefly in the air, which can avoid some characters' anti-airs and even some Reversal Actions.

5B

A pretty underrated poke. Send a Boot straight to their heads.
Tentarafoo's more useful as a normal than as a special... kinda sad.

5BB	1700	All	17	2	22	-5	B
5BBB	0, 2400	All	18	2	Total: 47		F

Has a long range but suffers from being a Persona normal (i.e., it’s a good poke but you take red life damage if it’s hit).
Mainly used as combo filler or corner relaunching.
Jump cancelable on hit

5BB is mainly used as combo filler
Jump cancelable on hit

Disables Cross Burst on hit similar to a throw.
Pops opponent up fairly high on hit making it possible to combo into 236B but only from a close enough distance. Use 236A/C from farther away.

The long animation time and launch makes it easy to extend combos with an assist move or even an Active Switch into follow-up combo with the incoming character.

5C

1. NetplayUnblockables

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln
800+	High	22	3	24	-10	B

Airborne during the hop

Even though Yosuke's 5C is in the "fast startup unsafe on block" category, it does leap forward a short distance, giving him slightly more range compared to many others in the same category.

2A

It's like Yosuke 4A, except it hits LOW!

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln
1000	Low	6	3	15	-4	F

Hits low
Good forward hitbox.
Great for stagger pressure and punishing opponents for not blocking low.
Great to use to set up tick throws.

2B

Remember when Hazama 5C was jump cancellable on block?

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln
1500	All	9	4	26	-13	B	6~12 H

Amazing anti-air as the hitbox extends behind his head as well as having tremendous vertical range, at the cost of having a shorter forward horizontal range than other 2Bs
Jump cancelable on hit and block

Slides under moves like sliding into their DMs.

Special cancellable on hit and block

The angle sadly makes it mostly unfit for neutral use, mainly used to combo into Moonsault-Cresent Slash after j.A. Very punishable on whiff.

Level	P1	P2
2	80	75

j.B

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln
720×3	All	15	3×11	Total: 40		H

Hits 3 times
Not an overhead
The blockstun and hitstun of j.B depends on the height: the higher Yosuke from the opponent, the higher the blockstun and hitstun are.
Even though j.B has 3F of recovery after landing, Jiraya covers those 3 frames with blockstun so it feels like the move doesn’t have any recovery at all.

Very active and safe on block, but just like any other Persona normal takes extra red life damage if interrupted.

Level	P1	P2
3	80	80

j.C

Either hit the floor, or flip out! Be that annoying fly everyone can't hit.

Yosuke’s Reversal Action has 2 parts, “Taunt” and “Kick”. “Taunt” is the initial action when the DP is pressed (Kunai Swing) where Yosuke is in his counter state. “Kick” is when Yosuke’s Reversal Action is triggered causing Jiraiya to come out and kick the opponent away. If it’s not triggered, Yosuke sighs and becomes punishable.

When activated, Yosuke briefly stops the opponent in place allowing Jiraiya to come out and quickly kick the opponent away with almost no interruptions.

Jiraiya can appear behind Yosuke during activation if he’s crossed up with proper timing
When triggered, Jiraiya will target the active character.

A Version goes a little over half screen and slightly bounces the opponent
B Version goes 3/4th screen, has a slow start up but bounces the opponent higher allowing for moonsault followups.
Allows Yosuke to cancel into Flying Flash Cut using A or Moonsault using B
You can late cancel into moonsault to negate the landing recovery

Referred to as V Slash.
Send the opponent all the way to the ground on hit regardless of height.
Can’t directly cancel into other air actions.
Can extend combos from with when paired with an assist.
Direction depends on input.

If j.236A/j.214A is blocked on the ground Yosuke gets pushed back enough for the second hit to whiff. The framedata here it’s when the move is blocked or hits on a grounded opponent. It’s punishable on both cases.

Crescent Slash

Moonsault -> A/B/C

Homes in on the opponent, even on block.

Everything could go wrong. However, it works well as a Distortion Duo Skill follow up, since the move doesn't scale as much as other supers. Plus it drags opponents to the corner. Very unsafe as a DHC on block, though.

Referred to as Whoo.
Decent Invincibility.
Travels slightly over half screen.
This move has a stupidly large hitbox making it easy to hit from awkward angles.
Since this move doesn't scale as much as the other super, as well as being a lot stronger, it is considered to be a good (but dangerous) reversal and combo ender.
