Standing

5A

Not 5B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	2	5	3	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+7	+6	+3	Special/Super	IPS=No Scales=Yes
Kinda high-hitting jab you can anti-air with rarely. Combos into almost every other button. Misses most crouchers.

5B

Not as good as it's made out to be

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
5	2	20	6	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-5	-6	-14	Special/Super	IPS=No Scales=Yes
Acts as a poke and as a situational anti-air. Extends forward so good reach. Don't expect it to beat much outright, better to punish start-ups and recoveries at long range. Being cancellable makes the not-so-great frame data somewhat negligible. Low-profiled by quite a few crouching characters but otherwise important for hitconfirming from jabs.

5C

What should really be hyped up instead of 5B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
8	4	19	10	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-1	-2	-15	Special/Super	IPS=No Scales=Yes
Slow startup but a solid disjoint, making it one of his better anti-airs when you're spaced far enough, also good counterpoke. Opponents that are hit in the air are knocked away. Hits more crouchers than 5B but cannot be comboed into from jabs.

6C

No

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
13	3	28	9	High
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-13	-14	-27	N/A	IPS=No Scales=Yes
Awful. The worst. Hits overhead, but is also punishable on hit. Never use this move. You might accidentally get this when trying to grab so do that with 4C instead.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
5	4	3	3	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+7	+3	-	Special/Super	IPS=No Scales=Yes
An unremarkable jab. Doesn't hit low. Still an OK combo starter and has decent range for poking.block=

2B

One of your best friends

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	2	10	4	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+5	+4	-4	Special/Super	IPS=No Scales=Yes
One of your more notable buttons. Low poke that is also used to build meter. Short range though.

3B

Slide

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	17	7	6	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-7	-10	-18	Special/Super	IPS=No Scales=No
Similar to 2B but advances forward. As with most of your other dashing buttons, it is minus on hit, so you'll need to super or special cancel it to stay safe.

2C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
7	3	13	10	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+5	+4	-9	Special/Super	IPS=No Scales=Yes
Nice range and counterpoke, good hitstun that connects easily to custom combo. Also has other niche applications- primarily, hitconfirming into 236S 236C for a meterless command grab.

3C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
8	21	10	9	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
HKD	-14	-27	Special/Super	IPS=No Scales=No
Goes a little further than 3B and causes a hard knockdown. Seen most often as a part of Oldseph's strike/throw okizeme.

Basic poke and combo ender only available in Stand Off. A and B versions are fast and have good range, but are very unsafe on pushblock. C version is much slower, but is very plus and gives a knockdown on hit.

Stand On exclusive hitgrab with very large range. After hitting the move, you can press 5x to send energy through Hermit Purple, dealing a small amount of damage to the enemy. You can also press 4x to pull the opponent back to you for a combo. The pull will give you more frame advantage if you initially hit the move from farther away.

In Stand Off, this move is a counter. After being attacked, Joseph will unleash a burst of energy, instantly standcrashing the opponent and launching them away. The Stand On version skips the counter and does the burst immediately. Mashing buttons during the active frames will increase the number of hits.

The 360 input refers to doing a full circle motion with your stick. Proper notation is 6248x or 4268x. Command grab. Most versions end in an uppercut that gives good oki, while the Stand On C version ends in a kick that sends the opponent far away. Mainly used as a combo ender or as a mix-up tool.

The 720 input refers to doing two full circle motions with your stick. Proper notation is 62486248x or 42684268x. Command grab super. Invincible frames 13-23. Does high damage, but is also very hard to combo into. Not very useful.

Almost always Joseph's preferred way of spending meter. Using CC in combos will generally yield good damage and allow you to end your combos in 360, giving good okizeme.
