Insert character introduction here.

Playstyle

Yukako Yamagishi is a Stand character who utlizes her hair for long-ranged moves.
Pros	Cons
Long Reach: Yukako has normals and special moves that reach very far, giving her good zoning/footsies capabilities. Mobility: Using "Hngh!", Yukako can move across the stage very quickly. The M and H versions can also be cancelled into an aerial, which can leave her low to the ground. Second Chance: The ability to revive gives Yukako a second chance to close out the match, meaning opponents can never rule her out.	Unsafe Pressure: As a result of her large moves, Yukako's attacks are very unsafe, resulting in her pressure being unsafe as well. Troublesome Lights: Yukako's 5L is very stubby, and her 2L is noticeably slower than others, making it a struggle to beat out options on wakeup.

Love Deluxe

Because Yukako's Stand, Love Deluxe, is active at all times, she does not change movesets by pressing the Style button; instead, doing so causes her hair to flare up as a sinister purple aura surrounds her.

While in this state, all of Yukako's normals inflict extra hits, improving their damage and combo utility, in addition to making them inflict chip damage. Yukako must spend 0.25 HH Gauge to access this state, and the gauge will very slowly deplete while active. This ability will be cancelled when the HH Gauge empties or with another press of the Style button; upon deactivation, Yukako will briefly fall to her knees in exhaustion, leaving her vulnerable. If Yukako's HHA is executed while Love Deluxe is active, the ability is immediately canceled and the HH Gauge will be completely emptied.

My precious hair! It's turned completely white!

Upon death that would usually result in a match loss, if Yukako has at least 1 HH Gauge stored, her hair frizzles and turns white as she suddenly regains consciousness and stands back up in anger, reviving with some health. When this happens, Love Deluxe is permanently active at the cost of disabling her HH Gauge entirely.
