Vs. The Cast

Combo Movies, Misc

This is a thread made for the sole purpose of posting videos of yourself in an effort to receive and discuss advice. In general, try to keep the videos short and to the point. Nobody wants to watch an hour of footage that feature someone spamming autocombo. A good length is somewhere around 5 matches, give or take. Also try to keep criticism as constructive as possible. It really doesn't help to bash someone, especially if they are in this thread trying to learn. Flaming will not be tolerated.

That said, have fun! Hopefully we can all share and discuss like sophisticated gents.

Here are some good ways to get of videos of yourself without owning your own recording equipment:

1. Twitch Streams

A lot of people (such as myself) have open lobbies where they stream people's matches and then save the recordings on Twitch. Some people add highlights to the videos, which allows you to link to a particular time. This comes in handy for showing people videos of yourself without having to make them sift through the video themselves.

However, a lot of Open Lobby streamers do no do this. I'm guilty of it myself. In this case, you can download .flv versions of the videos using this tool: http://bashtech.net/twitch/download.php

If you locate the number ID of the recording, you can easily download it using this tool. You can then edit this file using some video editing software and crop it to the matches you want, and then upload it to Youtube. There are many options for editing FLV files. Most programs allow you to edit WMVs, AVIs, and MPGs. FLV files are actually containers, so if your particular video editing software doesn't allow you to import FLV files, you can use an extraction/conversion tool to change it into a format you can use.

2. Youtube

If you search for your username, you may find someone has uploaded some of their matches with you. Though this is far less likely than purposefully playing in an open lobby on Twitch, it can sometimes serve as an alternative.

If someone has uploaded offline matches, you can simply link to the proper times.

3. Ask someone who has recording equipment to record some matches for you

This is pretty much self explanatory. If you know someone, you can easily have them spectate some matches for you or record offline matches.

Burianto, goddess, coup droit, 5AAAA etc. No intro necessary, we all know what to do here. Let's make em' salty with the return of waggle mechanics.

GO1 Palette is mine

I'd like to give an Enormous thanks to Stunedge and all the others who have been keeping us up to date in Japan. I'd also like to thank Antiquarian, and everyone else who has contributed by helping organize the massive amount of information we've been receiving. Lastly, thanks Omex for helping translate so much stuff. I'm sorry if I'm forgetting anyone. Thanks for all the help guys!

Third Loketest Information Below. Much of it will be shamelessly copy/pasted from Omex's translation notes HERE

From Translation Notes:

"B Droit > 2A = still gone

B droit has become slower

Lots of moves have increased recovery, like j.c and marin karin

Recovery after throw has been reduced(?)

Throw 5AA5B2B C Bufu 4B B Droit = 2740

FC Combo seems to be the same

Yukiko still can’t punish Mitsuru DP before she lands

Droits are Fatal Recovery

Sweep still does not Fatal

2B Ch may be different than it is in current rev (more floaty?)

droit now becomes super fast if it goes through D BUfula, freezes on hit

rumor: 5a lower hitbox strengthened (does not whiff certain chars crouching, etc)

[5B] > Dash cancel is advantageous for Mitsuru.

236236AB kick does 4800 at full charge

Raw B Setsuna > C > D > Charged kick did ~3900

Mitsuru 5A backstep cancel might be in (rumor)

High air hit b droit > 2A pickup might be possible (rumor)

Before last hit 5AAA can be canceled into B and C moves. (iirc, it’s a millionstab esque normal that looks like setsuna) Last hit can only go into C moves.

2B’s head invuln may start up slower now

SB Mahabufudyne has long invuln, short recovery

236236AB may have 236236A startup with B setsuna damage.

B Droit > D Bufu did not combo

Tentarafoo seems ot have very little recovery

SB Tentarafoo seems to be an ‘STG” character counter tool. (shooting game? zoners? ww) Seems to be good for beating Aigis 2B and Yukiko fans

j.D’s pullin speed and range has been increased, can combo after with 5a depending on spacing

Most FC combos from current ver still work"

SECOND LOKETEST INFORMATION BELOW.

ShardZ was able to attend the Taito Station loketest in Osaka. I firmly believe that this is the best set of information available so far. Shamelessly copy/pasted from ShardZ post (with permission), thanks!

Hey guys, I'm a Mitsuru player from the Detroit area who's currently studying abroad in the Kansai region. I had the pleasure of playing.. probably 25~30 matches of P4PEOPLE'SELBOW at the Taito Station loctest in Osaka, so here's what I got out of it:

MITSURU

5A - Seems the same, CH 5A > sweep still combos etc.

5B - Also seems the same. Didn't know to check for the dash cancel FFFFFFFF

5C - Only change I noticed was the dash cancel. Both forward & backdash seem to work for every 3 hits, but sometimes neither would come out and I'm not sure why.

5D - Seemed similar to before, but I think the opponent's trajectory after getting hit by 5DD was a bit different.

2A - Didn't notice a difference but I didn't test much.

2B - Didn't notice a difference, would've liked to test it more to see how it feels in an actual match.

2C - Seemed the same, didn't check the total meter drain amount. Still 4 meter/tick and Mitsuru still gets meter when the opponent has 0, super meters flash every tick to indicate the drain.

2D - 2D first hit only works different, instead of dropping straight down the opp arcs backwards so it doesn't seem viable for combos, including corner 2ABD not working 'cause the opponent can tech earlier/higher. 2DD whips the opponent towards Mitsuru and ground slides, great for comboing if they land in front of her but if they fly over her it seems hard to follow up without a corner to keep them close. At certain spacings the 2nd hit of 2DD would whiff, definitely seemed touchier than P4U.

j.A - Same.

j.B - Same, although I didn't confirm if j.B RC j.B land 5A still works on crouching opponents. The couple times I tried it it didn't combo, but I might've just screwed it up due to rust.

j.C - Same? Wishing I tested CH j.C more.

j.D - Seemed the same, still can do j.DD > 2DD for a combo.

Autocombo - Shadow Mitsuru autocombo seemed the same as P4U, but I spent way more time with normal Mitsuru's new autocombo. I got the impression the new autocombo is considerably stronger and more useful than the old. 5AAAAA = same old 5A, a lowish slash (IIRC old loctest notes said 2nd hit was too low to juggle, not true anymore), lunges forward with several quick stabs, A Droit, A Myriad Arrows. 2nd and 3rd attacks have lots of cancel options (unlike old autocombo 4th & 5th attacks IIRC), builds 30ish meter, 3rd hit LUNGES FORWARD. GUYS. IT LUNGES FORWARD. AND THERE'S TONS OF CANCEL OPTIONS. 5AAA 6, 5AAA 5C, etc. u gaiz.

AoA - Still has the same hilariously obvious and slow startup so I didn't test it much.

Sweep - Pretty sure this is no longer FCH, otherwise still seems just as strong as before. Wish I could've specifically tested to make sure it low profiles the same way it used to, though.

Throws - Ground throw seems the same, couldn't confirm if CH airthrow still leads to a combo.

B+D - Same, not sure if it was easier to punish but otherwise I noticed no changes.

[4]6+A/B - A & SB drills seem the same as before. Meaty A drill > 5A on crouching opp still combos. As mentioned before, B drill > 2A only combos after a FCH. Charged B drill seems to always go max distance, uncharged the same flexibility as before.

[2]8+C/D - C Bufula similar to before, might move faster/further? D ver, as mentioned, appears further out and moves towards Mitsuru, only hits once. SB ver maybe the same? Saw a Kanji get juggled for all 5 hits on top of it so maybe it moves faster now.

[4]6+C/D - The new move, ice sorta-reppuken that travels along the ground. Doesn't seem to hit off the ground at all and has somewhat laggy startup & recovery, but it causes confuse and I'm 99% sure it hits low. C ver goes about 2/3 or 3/4 of the screen length, D goes a bit further, and SB full screen. Round start 5A > C ver is awesomely obnoxious.

236236A/B - Seems pretty much the same. SB ver does 50 hits.

236236C/D - Maybe the same, not sure if they're still air blockable. SB ver is slower than D ver, since it's so huge if it's air UB there'll be lots of potential for silly air resets.

214214C/D - Same? Didn't use much or see other Mitsurus really experiment with it.

Shadow Overdrive - Based on the little bit of experimentation I did I'm thinking we'll see some challenge 30-esque SB droit combos.

Combostuffs:

5 2A+B [4]6A+B 2AB [2]8C 5 2A+B [4]6B 236236D - easily 4k+ dmg, again must use SB droit instead of B ver and 2ABD in place of 2AB [2]8C no longer works

2DD 5 2B 2DD > ??? (2.4k)

Not sure how to combo off 5C air hit dash cancel, maybe off CH?

5AAA 6B 5[C] [4]6A 236236x still works

Midscreen FCH 52C 5 2B 2DD, not sure of optimal route from there

Here is a google doc made by Omex where he is organizing several metric tons of information. As I update this post with info from the second loketest, I will be referencing it a lot. THANKS OMEX!

If I'm unsure how to interpret some information or if it hasn't been translated, then I wont include it here. In some cases below, I just copied and pasted information from the google doc.

Buffs

• 5B is now forward dash cancel-able
  
• 5C is forward dash cancel-able every third hit, backdash cancel-able every sixth hit
  
• 5C > dash-cancel allows for a combo on air hit
  
• Shadow Mitsuru auto combo gets around 35% meter
  
• Tentarafoo looks hellastrong(™)。With this, mitsu could look to catch jumps way more often。Dial A (auto-combo?) > Tentarafoo comboed
  
  
  Nerfs
  
  • Damage Nerf, nothing unexpected. "no longer able to do over 5k damage unless you’ve successfully beaten fire emblem 4"
    
  • B droit normal hit > 2A doesn't work anymore (Still works on fatal counter)
    
  • *rumor* cannot hold 4 to make b droit travel less distance, cannot control the distance as well
    
  • *rumor* cannot cancel [5B] into anything but droit?
    
    
    Other
    
    • Her new Tentarafoo move is in fact the ice wave mentioned in previous loketest notes.
      
    • Shadow mitsu is a weak, cute type of girl?
      
    • 2DD is "really cool!" (whatever that means)

      FIRST LOKETEST INFORMATION BELOW, TAKE IT ALL WITH A GRAIN OF SALT
      
      *****I would like to emphasize that this is the first loketest. The current state of the game does NOT represent the finished product we will end up getting. Most likely, the balancing and end result will be differ significantly from what we know now.
      
      Buffs:
      
      • New move: Tentarafoo, confuses opponent. Performed with [4]6C/D
        
      • New move: ground ice wave projectile.
        
      • Bufudyne appears to come out faster.
        
      • D Bufula travels roughly half screen distance.
        
      • New Auto Combo (Buff? probably, since her previous one was decent at best)
        
      • 2DD now causes slide, side swaps and followup combos presumably easier
        
      • SB Bufudyne takes up roughly 3/4 of the screen
        
      • Specific B Normals can be canceled by holding down the button long enough.
        
      • Sweep is hop cancel-able on block. Hop > j.B is relatively fast.
        
      • AoA faster? (rumored, not confirmed)
        
      • Possible for new autocombo to combo start to finish on air hit.
        
      • 5C is dash/back-dash cancel-able.
        

      Nerfs:

      [*]Possible major damage nerf. Jiyuna tweeted "Hahah. Mitsuru standard corner bnb with Air mirror and Super ender....3100 damage."

      [*]If her DP is blocked, she slows down and is easily punishable.

      [*]2B is slower.

      [*]Can no longer combo off 2D (this could mean that you can't pick them up as they fall after the freeze)

      [*]D follow up doesn't pull as far (Not sure how this will affect combos)

      [*]Second hit of auto combo is lower. (Confirmed now that this makes 5AA > 5B air combos impossible, so this is a bad thing.)

      [*]5AA > 5B combo no longer works on an airborne opponent (Dang...)

      [*]Coup Droit B is "much shorter"

      [*]Coup Droit A is "slower"

      [*]Bufudyne is smaller

      [*]Invuln changes to 2B and sweep (Assuming this is a bad thing)

      [*]DP range shortened / DP hitbox changed (assuming smaller)

      [*]Droit hitbox is smaller (assuming smaller vertical hitbox, will catch airborne opponents less)

      [*]Bufudyne no longer air unblockable.

      Other

      [*]Blocked DP > Super still in.

      [*]Mitsuru still has 4 cards

      [*]CH air throw combos still in!

      [*]CH j.C functions the same.

      [*]2B > 2DD > 4B > 2B > C Bufu > 5B > sweep > b droit = stable

      [*]5B is still a fatal counter.

      [*]Her B normals can still be held.

      [*]Sweep still fatals.

      [*]Standard 5AA > 6B > sweep crouch confirm still works.

      [*]It seems like corner fatal combos are possible, very similar if not identical to what's currently possible.

      [*][5B] still crumples on fatal counter.

      [*]2B doesn't combo in current corner combo.

      [*]Tentarafoo might not hit while opponent is frozen.

      [*]2A chains into itself 3 times (2AAA still works)

      [*]5D and j.D still combo, just in a different way.

      General/Universal Information (regarding all characters and the game as a whole):

      [*]Shadow type characters carries meter over the round. Shadow characters have no burst and awakening. Shadow berserk mode is like OC from SF (Stunedge twitter)

      [*]Guardroll added. (Thanks Omex)

      [*]Air moves can now be used after backdash, seems like it's confirmed for all characters now. (Thanks Omex)

      [*]Whiffed DPs are not fatal counterable by all moves. False rumors

      [*]Damage seems significantly lower for ALL characters, not just Mitsuru

      [*]Normals used while short-hopping are not overheads (Looks that way)

      [*]All characters appear to have short-hop cancelable moves

      [*]Attacks can be performed quicker after short-hopping than in p4a

      [*]projectile invul from 1st frame for QE, Naoto trap, Yukiko agi, Mitsuru Bufula oki can all be dodged by wakeup QE *Stunedge

      [*]recovery time after counter hit on air gets shorter for every characters (e.g. Naoto 5A anti-air, Yukiko 2B counter hit) *Stunedge

      [*]AoA hit on air can be recovered very fast, no more guaranteed knockdown *Stunedge

      [*]S hold system, holding A button for while will automatically activate some skill which is slightly different than the regular one (e.g. Yukiko will activate C maharagi with invul time *Stunedge

      [*]

      Shadow Mode

      - everybody has shadow mode except for shadow labrys and Elizabeth

      - all shadow characters attack lowered by x0.8 time compared to normal mode

      - shadow berserk mode costs 100 meter

      - shadow characters can activate awakening super anytime by spending 100 meter

      - using super during shadow berserk mode will shorten the activation time a lot (you can pretty much only do 3~4 super)

      - opponent can burst out during shadow berserk (unlike BBCP OD)

      - all shadow characters have the same autocombo move from current version of P4U, not the new one
