===Command List===

 

{{Game Movelist|Title={{Nihongo|Style/Specials/Etc. [Stand Off]|スタイル/特殊技/その他}}|Color=JJL|Collapse=true|

|input={{ASBInput|S}} {{Input|on ground}}

|desc=Switches between '''User Mode''' and '''Stand Mode'''. Doing so summons or dismisses Soft & Wet, changing the skills Josuke has access to.

}}

|input={{ASBInput|3|H}} {{Input|on ground|when downed}}

|desc=Josuke leans forward and forcibly stomps. This attack can strike downed opponents and is a command normal that can chain into Josuke's skills. (Comboable)

|damage=28

}}

|input=Activates below 30% health

|desc=This mode is automatically activated once Josuke falls below 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.

 

{{Game Movelist|Title={{Nihongo|Skills [Stand Off]|コマンド技}}|Color=JJL|Collapse=true|

|input={{ASBInput|236|ATK}} {{Input|on ground}}

|media={{GVid|Josuk8_236A_ASBR.mp4}}

|damage={{ASBInput|L}} 2 × 9 {{S|18}} / {{ASBInput|M}} 2 × 12 {{S|24}} / {{ASBInput|H}} 2 × 15 {{S|30}}

}}

|input=(During '''"So slippery!"''') {{ASBInput|6|ATK}} {{Input|on ground}}

|desc=Josuke stops spinning and slides forward to unleash a double kick that knocks the opponent into the air. They'll suffer a hard knockdown when they hit the ground. The distance Josuke slides forward increases in {{ASBInput|LMH}} order, but the greater the increase, the longer the recovery. Josuke is especially low to the ground while performing this skill, letting him evade most attacks. (Flash Cancel comboable)

|damage=20 × 2 {{S|40}}

}}

|input={{ASBInput|214|ATK}} {{Input|on ground}}

|desc=Josuke releases a small cluster of projectile bubbles from his hand which float straight forward before popping. The attack button inputted determines the size of the cluster and thus the amount of hits and damage inflicted, but the greater the increase, the longer the recovery. Each bubble is a separate hit, which gives the attack sufficient combo utility as opponents can be easily juggled with this skill. (Comboable at certain distances)

|damage={{ASBInput|L}} 9 × 4 {{S|36}} / {{ASBInput|M}} 9 × 8 {{S|72}} / {{ASBInput|H}} 9 × 12 {{S|108}}

}}

|input={{ASBInput|623|ATK}} {{Input|on ground}}

|media={{GVid|Josuk8_623A_ASBR.mp4}}

|ref=<gallery>JoshuVomit.png</gallery>

}}

|input={{ASBInput|22|ATK}} {{Input|on ground}}

|desc=Josuke "shaves" his face by surrounding his body with a dense cluster of bubbles that then slowly float forward after a brief moment. The bubbles' speed decreases in {{ASBInput|LMH}} order, but the greater the decrease, the faster the recovery. These bubbles cannot be reflected and steal a small portion of the opponent's HH gauge on contact. (Comboable)<br/>While this move is comboable, due to the long startup, it is best used when an opponent is knocked down as a means of forcing them to either block or Stylish Guard on wake-up rather than as a combo tool.

 

{{Game Movelist|Title={{Nihongo|Style/Specials/Etc. [Stand On]|スタイル/特殊技/その他}}|Color=JJL|Collapse=true|

|input={{ASBInput|S}} {{Input|on ground}}

|desc=Switches between '''User Mode''' and '''Stand Mode'''. Doing so summons or dismisses Soft & Wet, changing the skills Josuke has access to.

}}

|input=Activates below 30% health

|desc=This mode is automatically activated once Josuke falls below 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.

 

{{Game Movelist|Title={{Nihongo|Skills [Stand On]|コマンド技}}|Color=JJL|Collapse=true|

|input={{ASBInput|623|ATK}} {{Input|on ground}}

|desc=Josuke and Soft & Wet leap forward and fly through the air as S&W rapidly punches. Soft & Wet finishes the assault by reaching forward, grabbing the opponent and throwing them behind Josuke. Because the opponent is thrown behind Josuke, Josuke will end up on the opposite side of the opponent that he started the attack on. The distance Josuke and Soft & Wet travel increases in {{ASBInput|LMH}} order, but the greater the increase, the longer the recovery. If blocked, Josuke and Soft & Wet will rebound backwards a good distance, mitigating vulnerability. Since Josuke floats above the ground as he moves, he can move over grounded traps without triggering them. (Flash Cancel comboable)

}}

|input={{ASBInput|236|ATK}} {{Input|on ground}}

|desc=Josuke dashes backwards and into a low crouch as he sends out Soft & Wet to advance forward while punching. The last hit of the barrage will launch the opponent if connected. The distance Josuke jumps back and Soft & Wet moves forward increases in {{ASBInput|LMH}} order, but the greater the increase, the greater the recovery. This skill can initiate Rush Mode, and is a Stand Rush skill that Josuke can disconnect from to freely act while it is executing. (Flash Cancel comboable)

|damage=60

}}

|input={{ASBInput|214|ATK}} then {{ASBInput|ATK}} {{Input|on ground}}

|desc=Soft & Wet moves forward and unleashes a powerful spinning side kick, staggering the opponent. The distance Soft & Wet moves before kicking increases in {{ASBInput|LMH}} order, but the greater the increase, the longer the recovery. This part of the attack is a Stand Rush skill that Josuke can disconnect from to freely act while it is executing. (Flash Cancel comboable)

 

{{Game Movelist|Title={{Nihongo|Throw|投げ技}}|Color=JJL|Collapse=true|

|input=2 ATK buttons near opponent or {{ASBInput|T}} ({{ASBInput|4}} to back-throw) {{Input|on ground}}

|desc=Soft & Wet conjures a bubble that it uses to take the friction from the opponent's feet, causing them to slip and fall, before Josuke knees them in the face as they come down. If back-throwing the opponent, Soft & Wet will grab and drag them to the other side of Josuke before conjuring the bubble. The back-throw leaves the opponent at a farther distance from Josuke than the forward throw does.

 

{{Game Movelist|Title={{Nihongo|Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack|ＨＨＡ / ＧＨＡ}}|Color=JJL|Collapse=true|

|input={{HHA}} {{Input|on ground}}

}}

|input={{GHA}} {{Input|on ground}}

|desc=Josuke pulls out a projectile bubble with homing capabilities from his Star Birthmark and flings it after a short delay. If it hits the opponent, their entire body's friction is taken, making them slip off their feet and onto the ground, where they lay completely vulnerable. Josuke calmly and confidently explains what's happened to them, before Soft & Wet flies in to deliver an uppercut that knocks them into the air. The Stand then unleashes an upwards barrage of punches, finishing with a powerful hook that sends the opponent spinning out.

|type=High

|damage=297 / 356 / 445 {{S|depending on HH gauge}}

}}

{{Game Movelist|Title={{Nihongo|Assist System|アシストシステム}}|Color=JJL|Collapse=true|

|input={{Input|on ground}}

|desc=A two-stock assist. Josuke lands in and summons Soft & Wet to remove his friction as he slides forward and begins spinning around on the floor while curled up, hitting the opponent multiple times. He then dismisses his Stand, poses, and jumps back off-screen.

|damage=30

}}

|input={{Input|on ground}}

|desc=A one-stock assist. Josuke and Soft & Wet jump into the opponent, with Soft & Wet knocking them away with a kick. Josuke then dismisses his Stand, poses, and jumps back off-screen.
