[P4U2] Yosuke Speculations and Discussion

Fri, 16 Aug 2013 02:14:59 +0000

So now that P4A2 has been announced with Junpei and Yukari guest staring in it, how is our good buddy Yosuke going to fare in terms of what buffs or nerfs he may receive in the near future.

#keepglideplz

--------------------------

Yosuke changes in P4A2:

Yosuke's new command list

Loketest #2

*Note: I'm reading mixed impressions on some of the changes (some saying they could, some saying they couldn't) so these could change within the next day or two.

New Content:

• New Awakening Super: Shippu Nagareboshi/Hurricane Meteor. Can only be done in sukukaja. (He does is like tiger knee you and then on hit he drops a ton of kunai while flipping and like posing at the camera upside down in the air and then Jiraiya throws them at you. Decentish damage?)

SB Hurricane Meteor / Shooting Star does a little more damage.

•New Move: Shuntenhishokiri / Ninja Slash? aka V Slasher (Movelist has 214 and 236 listed as inputs, meaning you can go forward and backwards) V-Slash requires Persona, D version is slower, and causes Fatal Counter?

-Dangerous to use raw, vulnerable until after recovery

-Causes a hard knockdown (You can j2C after it)

-Run (236A/B), Moonsault (Air 236A/B) can cancel into it

-Can V Slash off 236A

-Can’t perform air actions after SB V Slasher on whiff

• His new A mash combo is 5A then an uppercut slash into a backflip kick that rise both him and opponent into the air before doing V-Slash Kunai.

Buffs:

• 5C has a backdash cancel, On hit for sure. (On block?)

• 2C has a forward dash cancel, on hit for sure. (on block?)

• SB Garudyne moves fast. C and D Garudyne remain the same.

• j.C might have FC on either the first hit or the second hit, seems to be slightly hard to tell atm?

Nerfs:

• Dial A builds a lot less meter, in fact he doesn’t really gain much anymore.

• Can’t combo after CH j2C

• Can’t 2A after j2C during 2C FC.

• Tentarafoo knocks down (RIP Spin state?)

• Yosuke’s B moonsault seems useless

• Sukukaja is reaaaaaaallllyyyyy short

• 5A recovery is increased in Sukukaja (5A in Sukukaja. It's now the animation to his ground throw slash. A mash combo in sukukaja is ground slash back and forward twice, pops them up and does the animation to his air throw slash, and then it got cancelled into j.2C)

Other Stuff:

• Glide is now AB > AC. It's awkward but possible.

• Kunais now forces the opponent to the ground and launches them upwards (Kunai doesn't cause on knockdown on standing hit. On standing hit they're just in hitstun for a few seconds. No popup, no knockdown. On air hit you're too far away for any sort of actual oki. Just returns to neutral.)

• Moonsault A x2 Still works. It just won't combo into V-Slash. 236B > Air 236A~A > 236C (V-Slash) > j.2B (which is D kunai now) works just fine. (Kunai > Garudyne might not work?)

• 5A > 5C > 2C > 236B > C V Slasher > j2C > Garudyne (3178dmg)

• 2C in Sukukaja doesn't knock them flying like it does in the current game. It just acts like a normal 2C.

•Shadow Yosuke sukukaja takes 100 meter.

Shoutouts to Guymam for some info!

[P4A] Yosuke Gliding Explanation

Fri, 10 Aug 2012 23:25:07 +0000

There is a technique which greatly increases Yosuke's already impressive air mobility, which is called "gliding" by the Japanese. Basically, it involves doing an air dash, cancelling the air dash into his jumping 2B, and then kara-cancelling into the side swap (A+C). The input for an iAD glide looks like this:

966, 2B~A+C

What happens is Yosuke will maintain the initial movement speed of his air dash and will dive down much quicker than he normally would from an air dash. An iAD glide at the lowest possible jump height will actually come out so quickly that Yosuke can't even follow up with a jumping A (the normal follow-up to a glide since it hits on both sides of Yosuke). Most of the time, it is actually more practical to do a delayed jump or super jump before gliding, as you will have a bit more time to input the appropriate follow-up. He can also air block once the 2B~A+C part has finished, greatly reducing his vulnerability while air dashing.

Mastering gliding will greatly increase your options as a Yosuke player, and I highly suggest anyone looking to pick up the character should take the time to learn this tech. It is ridiculous how quickly Yosuke can be on the other side of the stage by using this, and he still has access to all of his other air options afterwards, so there are tons of ambiguous cross-ups and other shenanigans that become available to you. If anyone has questions about gliding, or wants guidance on how to perform it consistently, feel to free to ask and I will extrapolate.

EDIT: Here's a video link showing footage of how your fingers should move when gliding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0KjX22Z_pY&feature=youtu.be
