+ ).
If successful you can follow with:
Follow up with Ranmoku (, + ); also a DM.
Follow up with Chougeki Dou Ja (, + ); also an SDM (free SDM as it doesn't require any extra meter or low life). Can be done in Speed Mode as well.
Can also follow the air grab with + .
Note your opponent can break out of the follow ups by pressing / depending on which follow up you use.

+ ) then Futtobashi (+).
Follow up with Homerun! ( + ); also a DM.
Perfect timing of Homerun! will do a full bar (or nearly in the case of Shigen and Juzoh) of damage to your opponent.
Desperation Moves
Juzoh does a small jump and slams club into the ground.

Super Desperation Move
Juzoh attacks with a headbutt, then launches opponent into the air, and slams the club into the ground, exploding it and the opponent.
, +
It has to much startup to be used in combos, even if used instantly after a deflect your opponent will be able to block before it hits.
You might be able to use it to punish some whiffed 's but that's about it. Overall, not that useful.

Really, don't use him in Speed Mode unless you want more of a challenge.
Stuff unique to him
Dash over fallen opponents to do minor damage.
Juzoh is actually relatively low tier, because he is heavily reliant on being able to land his grapples, but tiers in LB2 are pretty subjective anyway (besides Yuki who struggles).
You'll want to play him in power to take full advantage of the damage on his jumping , and to make sure that when you do land a command throw, your opponent knows about it.
Unlike most other characters, Juzoh doesn't have much in the way of combos, nor does he have any really effective power links, instead, you must learn how to zone with his jumping and standing and you must have a good mix-up game in order to be able to land his
and
So, he's basically the only 'true' grappler in the game. Shigen is more of a striker mix and he's not quite as hard to use.
Your focus should not be on landing a throw from a combo though, but to find ways to land it on its own. You need to have a good short dash/dash throw game, and you need to be able to read your opponent well, since all they have to do is jump straight up to avoid it (but that's where the version comes in handy).
Up close, you need to mix things up with his , low-jump air normals and his command throw.
His is fantastic for zoning as long as you're careful with it. You can easily catch someone who was trying to dash-in, and it's great for punishing whiffed attacks/combos from a distance.
Be aware that his has very poor priority and a lot of air attacks (especially ones jumping forward) will easily snuff it even if it looks like you should've got them (Reminds me a lot of Hugo's mediocre anti-air throw). However if they're jumping straight up and you're right under them, you have a lot better chance of landing it.
Juzoh has some bad match-ups against people with fast ground/air pokes like Zantetsu and Lee. Moriya can also give him some trouble with his constant teleporting (assuming they know the glitch). An Okina who's good at turtle zoning can be very irritating as well, although if you know Juzoh's air game well enough it should be a pretty even match-up.
With speed Juzoh, you don't have to rely as much on his command throw since he can now chain combo like everyone else, but the problem is, the damage on his combos is pretty average, and he doesn't have a lot of variation to them, so all he really ends up being is a weaker version of the other characters on speed. You can still use his command throw and all that, but the damage is lessened by quite a bit. As such, I feel it's better to make up for his weaknesses by playing him like a grappler/zoner on power.
That being said, his + overhead on speed does give him some nice opportunities for landing his so you shouldn't rule out speed Juzoh altogether, and he does gain quite a few more mix-up options on speed.
should be used very very sparingly. I only use it as a follow-up to one of the command throws to try and cross someone up as they're getting up, but I rarely use it on more experienced players since it's easy for them to block either way.- His
/
will hit people on the ground but only if he's close, and only in certain situations since both are quite slow. So it's better just to use jump most of the time instead. - makes a good early anti-air since it has nice priority on it, but it's quite slow so you'd have to have to seen a jump/jump-in coming already.
- His
is mostly useless, stay away from it - His is also fairly poor outside of some occasional use for zoning.
- I would only use his as a follow-up if you happen to catch someone with a standing somehow.
- His
unblockable can be somewhat useful on more inexperienced players, but there's not much reason to use it instead of his overhead, and better players will likely just jump/throw/punish. - You can hit his off a successful ground-air parry, but you gotta do it fast and they have to be relatively high in the air.
- may look like a good anti-air but it's not, don't use it much.
- can work as an anti-air, but it doesn't work against a lot of air normals, and it's highly dependant on what angle they're coming from.
is your best late air-air. You can jump-in with it if you think they're gonna jump straight up at the last second.- is also alright as a jump-in/air-air.
- is your all purpose air normal. Great range, damage and priority. If you can low-jump reliably, this poke becomes quite godly.
- His + unblockable has some nice horizontal range on it, but like all of them it's slow and predictable so be careful with it.
- Like you would figure for a grappler in a game with a parry system, being able to deflect well adds a ton to your game with Juzoh, since it's basically a free command throw for you.
