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 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While he has attempted to remain withdrawn from the spotlight, his dedication to the character is one idolised by many and his picture is in circulation despite his best efforts.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 SuPeRbOoMfAn and Isai as both have travelled and lost in twelve character battles (a format of the game recognised as the best determinant of skill).

Jouske’s great success is explained through his mastery of spacing, flow-charting and combo game and is an inspiration for Samus players universally.

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.

History[edit]

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 also remains the only player in the world to have won a 12 character battle against Isai. Against 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.
