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 As a result, many BBTag pages on Dustloop Wiki are out of date or lacking important information.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
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 is a rushdown character that can overwhelm the opponent with speed and left-right mixups
- 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.
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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

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.

- 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.

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.

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.
