Introduction: =============== Hi, this is my first FAQ, so it might not have everything you would want it to. Its just one of those moves and advice FAQs. Yuske Urameshi is one of those charactrers most people would go and say "This guy isn't that good,i'd rather use luffy.", but he has his strengths and weaknesses.I started using him when one of my friends, tuna, said i was pretty good with him. I took his compliment and continued using him. ==================== II. Yusuke's History: ==================== You might wanna skip this part if your not to intrested in his history. Yusuke, who is 14 years old, is the toughest pupil in his school, Sarayashiki Junior High School,and is the rival, of Kazuma Kuwabara, the second toughest pupil. He is known to be a stereotypical bad seed; having a spotty attendance record, doing poorly in class, and picking fights with many other students. Additionally, he smokes, drinks, and gambles. While skipping school and being berated by his mother, Yusuke loafs around the town. Yusuke entertains a child by making silly faces and playing ball with him, but when the kid wanders into the street reaching for the ball, he lunges infront of an incoming car. Yusuke then shoves him out of the way. He is struck by the car, and killed. As a ghost, Yusuke is greeted by an atypical version of the Grim Reaper;a bubbly, cheerful young woman named Botan. She remarks that they weren't expecting Yusuke to selflessly save the kid's life, and thus, have no place for him in the afterlife. She remarks that Yusuke can return to life, but he initially declines. Yusuke's mind changes after he attends his wake, where people he knows pay their condolences to his mother.Yusuke is given an egg to take care of,and is told that it will hatch a Spirit Beast, which will help him get back to life. However, he must be a genuinely good person. If he is evil, the beast will devour him. However,Yusuke sacrifices the beast to save Keiko, who had received dreams andmessages from Yusuke's ghost that he would be returning to life, and she needed to take care of his body so that he would be able to return to it. However, a house fire starts in Yusuke's home and his body runsthe risk of being incinerated. Keiko runs into the fire to protect it, but nearly passes out from the strain, even when Kuwabara tries to help her. In a desperate move, Yusuke sacrifices the egg to save her. Impressed at this selflessness, Koenma allows Yusuke to return to his body without the beast, provided someone who wants him back gives him some life energy through a kiss. Keiko manages to do this, and Yusuke is returned. After returning, Yusuke is surprised to notice a demon inhabiting the body of a street punk. Botan shows up and tells Yusuke that his experience with death allowed him to do these things. He is to become Earth's Spirit Detective, and protect the human race from demons. Yusuke engages in many difficult trials in his first assignments as Detective. The first is to recover three stolen artifacts from Spirit World. Koenma trains him by teaching him how to fire his spirit energy, energy possessed by humans and spirits, as a weapon. This is Yusuke's signature attack, the Spirit Gun. Yusuke attempts to combat these three thieves: Hiei, who stole the Sword of Shadows; Kurama,who stole a mirror called the Forlorn Hope; and Gouki, who stole a soul-stealing article called the Orb of Baast. Yusuke was able to defeat Gouki with the aid of Botan and his Spirit Gun . Kurama willingly turns over the Forlorn Hope, as he only wanted to use its power to save his mother's life. Kurama intended to sacrifice his life for the mirror to save hers, but Yusuke selflessly asked the mirror to take his so Kurama can enjoy his mother's life. The mirror granted Kurama's wish and spared both of their lives, and Yusuke took the mirror. Yusuke and Botan then went to fight Hiei, who kidnapped Keiko and tried to turn her into a demon. While Botan staved off the transformation, Yusuke fought the extremely fast demon, and managed to defeat him by reflecting his Spirit Gun off of the Forlorn Hope, intentionally missing Hiei to strike it and causing the arrogant demon to believe Yusuke missed. Yusuke then was sent to the compound of Master Genkai, an aged fighter who was looking for a sucessor to her powerful Spirit Wave technique. Botan warned that a demon, Rando, would probably try to inherit her technique. Yusuke fought through her tournament and defeated Rando in t he end, becoming her successor.Yusuke was then sent to Maze Castle to defeat the four Saint Beasts and stop them from taking over the human race with demon parasites. Kuwabara decided to go with Yusuke, and Koenma sent Kurama and Hiei, who were on probation in the human world, to assist. Yusuke fought his way to Suzaku, the leader of the group, and managed to defeathim, but at the cost of his own life energy. Only Kuwabara, the only human of the group, could save him. thats only the beginning... =================== III.

Yusuke's komas : ============================== --1 Koma(help)-- [] Equip Effect: Special Gauge regenerates when you're on the field --2 koma(support)-- [][] support effect: Yusuke stands for about a sec, then starts comboing into a final punch that guard breaks Opinion:VERY USEFUL! this is a commonly used support by tons of people, the guard break can also give you time to use a special. Damage: 26(power/laughter), 33(knowledge) --3 koma (support)-- [][][] support effect:Yusuke charges his fist for approximently 2 sec, then fires out a spirt shotgun that shots forwards, up, and down. (both up and down are shot at a 45 degree angle) Opinion:meh, to slow to combo break and your opponent will more than likely defend before it fires, i recomend the 2 koma still. --4 Koma(battle)-- J-Soul: 152 Nature: Power Shape: [][][] [] Specials: X: Yusuke fires a quick spirit gun. up+X: Yusuke uses his spirit energy to punch anyone thats foolish enough to get in the way. Opinion: its good i your using a small four 4 koma deck, otherwise i'd recomend his five because of it being stronger. --5 Koma(battle)-- J-Soul: 168 Nature: Power Shape: [][] [][] [] Specials: X: yusuke fires a spirit gun, more powerful and chargeable. up+X: Yusuke uses his spirit energy to punch anyone thats in the way, this ones more powerful and chargeable. Opinion: Exactly like his 4 koma, but more powerful. His specials are now chargeable, leading to a slower, but more intemidating attack. --6 Koma(battle)-- J-Soul: 184 Nature: Power Shape: [][] [][] [][] Specials: X: Another Spirit gun attack, very powerful, but takes a while to fully charge. up+X: Yusuke transforms into his demon form and does a quick combo, sending your opponent flying. Opinion: IMO, his best battle koma. incredbly strong with his demon combo, which can be easily activated through the "Yusuke combo" =========== VI. Combos: =========== Yusuke's moves are somewhat sluggish and slow compared to some one fast, like naruto. Making combos can also be difficult when playing as him at first, but these combos will keep most of your enemys at bay. So here are some easy combos: B, forward+B, Y : a quick little combo, not much but still good. B, forward+B, Y, forward+Y : just like the first one but with more oomph. B, forward+B, up+Y : once again, just a quick combo B, up+B, (aerial)B or (aerial)Y : this combo may not work out every time you use it so be aware of that. B, forward+B, up+B, (aerial)Y : pretty good combo, but theres a short pause between the forward+B and up+B. The Almighty Yusuke Combo: B, Y, up+Y, ________(LOOK BELOW!) NOTE:the blank is usually, demon yusuke, a spirt gun(special/non special), or a support *Most of these combos can have a spirit gun(X button) at the end. these are all the combos i have for now, if you have any requests or tips please e-mail me! ================== VII. Deck Building: ================== Here's the section on what recommended komas should be used with Yusuke. Kuwabara-Increase SP Gauge when attacking with or blocking a Battle Character.Pretty good if you ask me, you can also use his 2-koma suport to make combos, but his 3-koma isn't that good. Genkai-Use Special Gauge to Auto-Guard. Also good, but be aware that it takes SP away. Neuro-Immunity to Paralysis effect. Pretty helpful, his 2-koma Causes Blindness effect, and his 3-koma grants invisbility. If you don't like those, use his battle komas. ======================= Other help and supports: ======================= Big 3- i never use 'um, but whatever its your game. Dodge this! ___________________ you'll need Hien(SAKIGAKE!! OTOKOJUKU)- 3 koma, after using a basic combo activate this guy, takes a sec to start but he lands 4 hits, fourth hit giving the enemy the satus of paralyisis, the charge p a spirt gun and let 'er rip. this combo deals around 91-100 damage to pow/laugh and 150ish to knowledge. Suppppppppper! _______________ for this combo you'll need Franky(one piece)- 3 koma, again using a basic combo activate franky while using Y, while he swing s his arm use up+Y, leaving franky an open shot dealing a whooping 76 damage to pow/laugh/know Yusuke Rendan ______________ For this combo, you'll need naruto(naruto...duh)-3koma, just any b attacks leading to Y will work, when you hit Y use naruto and he'll ollow through. WARNING: this is a combo still in testing, somtimes naruto will not completly use naruto renden, be aware. Alsoif using yusuke's 4 koma somtimes you can hit the enemy with up+X while he's getting hit down again, if you have any combos you would like to add to the list, email me at matflipped@aol.com ======================== VIII. Pros and cons ======================== Pros: -UA powers up y attacks -ranged attacks/specials -gains more sp when health low -strong combos -easy to use supports with Cons: -somewhat of a lag before specials - only has up to 6 koma ==================================================== IX.
