'''Jouske''' ('''丈助''') is a Japanese legend and long-time top player of  [[Smash 64]], with his dominance in his home country being one which spans multiple years and is the sole contributor to the level of play seen in {{SSB|Samus}} today.


While he has attempted to remain withdrawn from the spotlight, his dedication to the character is one idolised by many and his picture is in circulation despite his best efforts. His proclamation for others to travel to him to prove their worth is one taken seriously by players such as {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}} and {{Sm|Isai}} as both have travelled and lost in [[twelve character battle]]s (a format of the game recognised as the best determinant of skill).  
'''Jousuke''', (pronounced ''Joe-skay'') or '''丈助''', (sometimes romanized as '''Jouske''') is the top ''[[Smash 64]]'' player in Japan, and the top {{SSB|Samus}} [[main]] in the world.


Jouske’s great success is explained through his mastery of [[spacing]], flow-charting and combo game and is an inspiration for {{SSB|Samus}} players universally.
He plays all other characters at a high level, as seen in his various [[Twelve Character Battle|12-character battles]], though it has been stated his favorite characters are {{SSB|Ness}} and {{SSB|Donkey Kong}}.


His involvement with the game has become more elusive as time continues but those who know of what he has achieved are aware of just how little his skill has deteriorated since he stopped attending tournaments.
His {{SSB|Kirby}} is said to be superior to even the top Kirby mains in Japan, yet due to cultural reasons, Japanese 64 players are only seen playing one character in all tournaments. This is also probably since most Japanese events outside of Grand Finals are best of 1.  


==History==
He is known for his incredible [[spacing]], which is expected of a top Samus main, and his use of the last hit of Samus's forward aerial to link devastating finishers.
Jouske's wins include the Kanto ''Smash 64'' tournaments in 2009, 2012, and 2013, and a 200 person online tournament known as ''Smash 64'' Spring Online Tournament. He is also the first player in the world to have won a 12 character battle against {{Sm|Isai}}, and the only player for many years until {{Sm|Kurabba}} at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2023}}. Against {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}}, he has a winning record of 3-0 in 12 character battles in the US version, and a 1-1 record in 12 character battles in the Japanese version.


Following a 2nd place finish at [[Kansai 2015]], Jouske announced on his Twitter he would enter a temporary hiatus period, which lasted for 1 month.
Jousuke's wins include the Kanto ''Smash 64'' tournaments in 2009, 2012, and 2013, and a 200 person online tournament known as ''Smash 64'' Spring Online Tournament. He also remains the only player in the world to have won a 12 character battle against {{Sm|Isai}}. He has also won 12 character crew battle in both the US and Japanese versions vs. {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}} in which he demonstrated his amazing Kirby. So far, the only crew battle he has lost was against {{sm|Tatsuman}}, a Kirby main who is also a random character specialist.
