Playstyle

Josuke Higashikata 8 is a ABC character who utilizes their XYZ
Pros	Cons
Self Sufficient: Josuke builds enough bar to do combos that spend meter and either build back what he just used or build back what he needs to use later in the combo. Good Oki: Josuke's 22X can provide a sort of wall of safety after hard knockdown>3H OTG, giving him the change to attack from where he is after using the move without worry of being hit out of his attack and combo'd. Pro 3: Josuke's HHA activation has invincible frames so defensive assists can't always interrupt it.	Con 1: Calling assist after HHA has strict timing. Con 2: Inconsistent 214X combos during juggle.
