  |description=A veritable swiss army knife of a move that does just about everything:
*Extremely low profile and moves Joe forward, allowing you to easily beat most mid pokes.
*Excellent anti-air that only loses against a small number of jump-ins.
*Allows Joe to slide past any projectile that doesn't travel along the ground.
*Links from standing and crouching A and grants a knockdown on hit, so it's also your best combo ender.
*It does have a slow recovery though, so don't get ''too'' greedy with it.

The Kick-Boxing Demon

Introduction

Blessed with some of the best zoning tools in the game and highly damaging close range combos, Joe in FFS is here to rock you like a hurricane. As long as you can do half-circle inputs and jab chains consistently, he's an easy character to pick up and start winning games with right away.
Pros Cons
  • Hands down the best projectile in the game
  • Easy anti-air moves
  • Simple but deadly combos
  • Short range on most normals
  • Slow startup on most specials
  • Slow movement speed

OK anti-air, but 5D is generally better. This one is cancelable, though.

A veritable swiss army knife of a move that does just about everything:

  • Extremely low profile and moves Joe forward, allowing you to easily beat most mid pokes.
  • Excellent anti-air that only loses against a small number of jump-ins.
  • Allows Joe to slide past any projectile that doesn't travel along the ground.
  • Links from standing and crouching A and grants a knockdown on hit, so it's also your best combo ender.
  • It does have a slow recovery though, so don't get too greedy with it.

A 16 (4) 3 Mid 20 - 29 48 +4 +5 -
  • The best projectile in the game, bar none. Hard to avoid thanks to its huge size, and beats Dodge Attack attempts as the hitbox reaches all the way to the ground.
  • Very spammable thanks to its compact frame data.
C 22 (5) 6 Mid 23 - 31 53 +10 -1 -
  • Travels faster than the light version, but has worse frame data and less knockback on block making it less safe to use up close.

  • Range is about 3/4 of the screen. Rather difficult to use due to the slow startup. Can combo from heavy buttons if you happen to land a back hit, but there are much better options available.

  • Travels the entire screen. Not too great on its own, but can be a decent tool for pressure and chip damage when used in combination with light Hurricane Upper.

B 14 (3) 3 Mid 15 7 (4) 8 (3) 30 66 KD -28 -
  • Joe's invulnerable anti-air/reversal. Less useful than you'd think due to its slow startup, so most of the time you'll be using either 5D or 2D to anti-air instead of this. Still, having an invulnerable move can often come in handy.
D 20 (5) 6 Mid 21 11 (3) 6 (3) 3 32 78 KD -29 -
  • Even slower startup. Don't use unless you're absolutely certain it'll hit.

  • Big stationary projectile wall. The startup looks like a regular Hurricane Upper, so you can use it to trick and punish an opponent trying to jump over your projectiles.

Combos

  • (2B), c5A x 3~6, f5A x 1~3, 2D - 64 damage

Hold 6 to microwalk between 5A's for more hits.

  • 2A x 1~4, 2D - 33 damage

Hold 3 between 2A's.

  • 41236A (from a distance) > 19D - 35 damage
  • (back turned, in corner) Hurricane Upper (C), 2C > 19B

Extremely situational trick combo you can use if you feel like showing off.
