Introduction

Insert character introduction here.

• Long Range Normals: Yukako posesses some of the longest-reaching normals in the game.
• Love Deluxe: Yukako has access to an install that enhances her abilities.
• My precious hair! It's turned completely white!: Yukako is able to revive when she is about to lose the match, granting her an opportunity to turn the game around.

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 canceled 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 allowing them to inflict chip damage. Yukako must spend 0.25 HH Gauge to access this state, and the gauge will very slowly deplete while active. The ability will be canceled 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 for the remainder of the round.

Move List

Normal Moves

• Data in [] is for Love Deluxe.

5L

5L

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 8 [16 (8*2)] Mid 4 - - -4 [0] - Yukako jabs with her hair. Yukako's fastest button by far. Hits high enough to anti-air and covers 3H's deadzone well. She can also convert off of anti air 5L's with 3H for big damage. Links into itself on hit with "Love Deluxe" active. Also +0 on block in "Love Deluxe", making it a very scary move on block for easy hit confirms and tick throws. 5L's second hit can also catch mashing if the first hit is SG'd.

5M

5M

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 18 [36 (18*2)] Mid 12 - - -22 [-18] - Yukako extends her hair forward. A very strong poke that converts into a full combo with 22X fc and is integral to her mid-range defensive playstyle. This move is very unsafe on whiff and loses hard to dash jumps. You can use this to your advantage, however, by baiting a dash jump and anti airing with 5L or 3H for a full combo.

5H

5H	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 28 [56 (28*2)] Mid 14 - - -10 [-4] - Yukako swings her hair inwards. 5H is a good counterpoke option when 2M doesn't reach. Mostly combo filler.

2L

2L	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 8 [16 (8*2)] Low 10 - - -4 [0] - Yukako attacks with her hair. 2L has decent range for a 2L, but it is very slow, often being outperformed by 2M outside of stagger pressure. Can be used similarly to 5L in "Love Deluxe" as a pressure tool with good stagger pressure and tick throw potential, being +0 on block.

2M

2M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 18 [36 (18*2)] Low 10 - - -16 [-12] - Yukako buries her hair on the ground, with it protuding a short distance away. Notes 1 Notes 2

2H

2H	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 30 [90 (30*3)] Low 20 - - -16 [-14] - Yukako slams her hair in front of her. Causes a groundbounce on hit. Gains 2 extra hits with "Love Deluxe" active, unlike every other normal.

3H

3H You shithead!	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 30 Mid 8 - - -42 - Yukako swings her hair upwards. Launches on hit. Can be canceled into "Love Deluxe".

JL

j.L	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 12 [24 (12*2)] Overhead 10 - - - - Yukako stabs in front with her hair. Notes 1 Notes 2

JM

j.M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 20 [40 (20*2)] Overhead 10 - - - - Yukako swings her hair downwards. Notes 1 Notes 2

JH

j.H	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 28 [56 (28*2)] Overhead 16 - - - - Yukako entends her hair at a downwards angle. Notes 1 Notes 2
