Yu Yu Hakusho Tournament Tactics Tips
4I do like this game once I got used to bypassing the big maps by deploying Yusuke last for his crazy spirit gun range. There's a lot of depth with the initiative system (use weaker moves or don't focus/move in garbage time to go faster) and overdrive even carries over between battles.
Shame the music isn't really that great for an anime game. Movement to go into ally spaces or climb is 2, and isn't previewed well when leveling, though 3 levels increases from 3 to 4 spaces.
When you get Yukina, who can heal (buff spirit energy first), replace Kuwabara with her as he is slower and has little range. You can even have her taunt while in the back to safeguard everyone from close ranged attacks as they'll only pursue her (and she can get whoever has less than 20 hp for bonus kill exp), but be careful of who has long range. You may also have to replace Yusuke as he is much slower than Genkai and Hiei as they level, so you may want to test faster replacements (Rinku has low attack and Jin can't fly over obstacles and is a spirit guzzler).
0:00 Setup
0:06 Learned Spirit Gun Double for Genkai, the masked fighter.
0:44 Deploy Hiei first and Yusuke last to show how range is rewarded let alone you don't want crowds.
1:24 Sword of the Darkness Flame couldn't be used if Hiei was in the back.
1:37 Kurama's seed of the death plant critical, also poisons.
1:55 Kuwabara taunts to goad enemy fire. Sword get longer has high initiative for a slower turn.
2:08 Spirit Gun range justifies having Yusuke in the back. Genkai too once you learn Spirit Gun Double, and she starts with higher movement.
2:23 Spirit Gun Double. I could have killed the enemy Yusuke targeted instead.
2:30 Fast forward (emulator) attacks on Kuwabara.
3:45 Initiative Order also helps remind to finish off with weaker attacks.
4:05 Hiei's taunt encourages enemies to get in range.
4:18 Overdrive to strengthen Long Sword Strike/Sword get Longer.
