Yusuke Urameshi

Yu Yu Hakusho


A spirit detective whose job is to protect the world of ghosts that disturb the peace in exchange for a second chance at life. However, being the delinquent he is he finds himself preferring brawls over using his head. Using energy he learns to tap into, he can perform blasts of light energy in the form of a "Spirit Gun" and "Spirit Shotgun" respectively.

Gameplay Tips

  • Charging your Smash attacks for longer will cause Yusuke to use a little bit of spirit energy to enhance the move he's about to use.
  • You can cancel Yusuke's upC early by attacking or jumping, if you attack, you gain full invincibility.
  • Yusuke's sideB is Organ Murder, a dash hit followed by spirit charged rapid punches ending with a finishing blow.
  • You can charge Yusuke's sideB/sideEX to enhance it and give it special follow ups.
  • Yusuke is able to turn around during downB/downEX, doing so makes him do a little bit more damage.
  • Yusuke's Neutral Special is Spirit Gun, his primary technique that he has to charge to reach full power.
