[Boy and his Dog]

2b and 2c work wonders against flip happy yosukes. 214c/d is very useful for keeping him out of your airspace and most of your ground normals out range his. Know the anti air confirm and you should be fine

[A.X.I.S.]

Pro tip: 2B is a death sentence against a competent Yosuke.

 

But its cool the dog is a problem for him on the ground and that can be used to your advantage.

 

Gameplan: use 5C a lot keep him right out of 5B range and stay on the same lane as him.

 

If he is in the air use j.A to stop him or jump back j.B.

On the ground use 5B/2A/5C to deal with him.

 

About glide.

Listen to me when I say this.

Let the dog crowd on you close and press 2C and PRAY he gets tagged for being greedy.

This is the safest answer to him gliding on you.

 

Now on your wake up you have to just get familiar with his jump in's.

 

What horrible things he will do to you off glide you ask?

 

Hahaha glad you asked.

 

j.B

land 2A

 

these are the basic jump in choices.

 

Beware of j.2AB since he can do it after j.A or j.B and then go right into moonsault to make it safe.

 

Now lets talk about punishes.

 

Bad kunai's get punished with 5C or 236A/236AB from half to near full screen.

If he does j.2C/D and you block he should lose 4/5k because you are gonna 2B him and ruin his day.

 

Other note worthy things:

 

5B eats his persona.

Anti airing this guy is really really hard.

j.B makes his life miserable if used right.

 

Burst stupid starters.

 

5C/2C/garudyne/j.2C or j.2D

 

Also for gods sake don't eat unblockable.

Look you can roll it, jump it, have the dog hit it with 5C.

Just don't stand still and eat it.
