Note: If there are any more dead links please feel free to tell me. I apologize for any inconveniences the termination that mine and Jourdal's old YT account caused.

This thread is for the compilation and discussion about videos on Yukiko Amagi! All videos will be with the latest patch V1.02. Videos before June are pre-patch and will not be listed. The exception to this are the Tougeki qualifiers that took place before the patch which are in their own section.

Recommended matches will be bold. Major thanks to Kurushii for the graphics and layout~

Feel free to post and discuss any videos you find and enjoy!

• Videos will be in order of date of the event, even if it was just uploaded recently for organizational purposes. New videos, even if they're somewhat late, will be posted before making it to this post so be sure to check out any new posts someone makes.
  
• If you see a (1), (2), etc. that means it is a different video. So if you click on (2) then it will take you to a different match. This is usually done to save space if there are no names given to the players for an event.

  Q&A Thread

  2. Offense

  The pros and cons of Fire Boost and Fire Break

  Fire Boost and Fire Break are two of Yukiko's moves that are notable for increasing the advantage of her fire-based moves. The pros of both are that Fire Boost will increase the strength of her fire attacks and Fire Break will make her fire moves unblockable when in contact with her opponent.

  However, the cons to both moves are that Fire Boost will not see a dramatic increase in strength until later levels of it and Fire Break has a cooldown meter after you activate your first fire-based attack that causes the opponent not to block it; another downside to Fire Break is that the second fire-based attack you execute on your opponent will not be unblockable. Both moves can also cause blue life damage to Yukiko; Fire Boost doing a small amount while Fire Break doing a fairly decent amount, so use these moves wisely while your neutral game is stale.

  Blockstrings

  1. Try and end blockstrings up close with a 1/2/3B, sj-cancel back and throw a j.1B fan to cover your jump, 1D, airbackdash and throw another fan at the ground as you land.
     Notes: This creates a loose unblockable setup without you having to rush in (they have to block the 1D high cause it's an overhead, and the air fan will hit them low). If they tried pushing a button, you can confirm a counterhit. This also keeps you safe from most DPs, and allows you to run up and punish them if they do one anyway. This setup seems to work particularly well against characters that can't deal very well with stuff directly above them, like Kanji.
     

  Oki, Frame Traps, Cross/Mix-ups and Safe jumps etc.

  1. After a 236A knockdown
     Notes: After 236A's first strike (minus the fireball), it will knockdown the opponent. Remember to hold the fireball, though, you will have to save it for a meaty 4B and a 2D attack; if on block and 2D comes out, release the fireball and continue your strike against your opponent. An example combo would be something like this:
     
     236A > meaty 4B > 2D > release A > 2A
     
     If done properly, it will become a chain os.
     
     
     
  2. 236A post BnB
     Notes: After a BnB, end it with a 236A (Agi A), hold the fireball and as they wake up, instant air dash and release A while you are passing over them. You will have time to land and combo into a 5AA. If you time it correctly so that it explodes right as you are passing over your head, the fireball counts as a cross up since you are passing them.
     
     There's a 50/50 chance that it may or may not cross up at all. They can obviously escape it by dashing, but this is after you conditioned them by exploding it right on their wake up a few times.
     
     
     
  3. Post Air Grab Konoha Oki
     Notes: Yukiko has a unique air grab which leaves the opponent in a hard knockdown and Yuki in the air. By which point, you can input her j. D.
     
     This will give you some mix up oppurtunities:
     
     -Dash up and perform 2A (Unblockable)
     -Stay back and perform 5C 2C string
     -Empty jump into a low
     -Kinda risky but you could dash up and use evasive roll to try and cross up
     -Throw fans if you really wanna keep spacing
     
     
     
  4. Safe jump setup against DP's (NOTE: Doesn't work against Teddie or Bufudyne)
     Notes: You start off with a knockdown with A Agi, jump and create a meaty Agi; you should block while falling, if they don't DP then mix them up. The meaty Agi keeps them from rolling and forces them to commit to blocking or doing a reversal.
     
     This is extremely useful to keep pressure on DP happy characters, but as stated before, it does not work against Teddie or Bufudyne.
     
     
     
  5. After a 236B knockdown
     Notes: The frame trap is when you release B because some people might want to 5A/2A the persona to take a card. Punish their greed with a B release in their face. A sample combo for this frame trap is:
     
     236 > 5D > ]B[ > 5C > 2C > 236[A]
     
     They could probably just DP the initial 5D, but they will eat a B release. So it's a decent trade off for them to take a card. In this case, you MIGHT be able to run up and 5C or maybe even FC 4/5D again.
     
     
     
  6. A variation of using 236A+B to setup a midscreen crossup
     Notes: Following the standard 3D 5B followup to drop the persona behind your opponent, you can do:
     
     2C > 5C > 236[A+B] > ]B[ > 5B > 2D > ]A[ > 2A+B
     
     You want to time the sweep with the end of 2D so that you can pick up off of it, and you want to sweep with the tip of the sweep's range for the best spacing for a followup. If you have everything spaced/timed properly (persona just behind the opponent), you can do something like:
     
     236~]B[ 5BB 236[A+B]
     
     And from here either go into a Maragi combo, or setup a Fire Break+Maragi unblockable. You may need to dash toward the opponent a bit after the 236 depending on spacing and whatnot.
     
     
     
  7. Some deceptive Persona pressure:
     Notes: Two examples for this include:
     
     - j.C > land > 5C
     - Agi delay > 5C (strict. Input 5C just before Konohana-Sakuya disappears from Agi)
     
     In both cases 5C comes out wherever Konohana-Sakuya is on screen. From full-screen the Agi > 5C pressure becomes a pseudo-frame trap. Usually after Agi you can expect your opponent to attack and go for Persona Break in which case you should release Agi to mix things up.
     
     j.C moves Konohana-Sakuya forward and then the 5C input comes out.
     
     From full-screen the Agi > 5C pressure becomes a pseudo-frame trap. Usually after Agi you can expect your opponent to attack and go for Persona Break in which case you should release Agi to mix things up.
     
     
     
  8. After a combo'd 236B
     Notes: The typical pressure string is to use 3D many times. People like to roll this to escape (this would work if you don't use fans after the 3D).
     
     So for those who like to roll, use 2D and fatal them for it. Afterwards, run up to them and use gli's 2D FC combo.
     
     
     
  9. knockdown after high hit stun decay
     Notes: If you want a knockdown and you know if a 236A will allow the opponent to tech in the air (which greatly decreases advantage in the pressure game), do the 3rd hit of the auto combo AAA, this will bound them to the ground. You can then cancel into 236C for meaty Maragi pressure.
     
     This may or may not work depending on your combo because there is a significant gap between the 2nd and 3rd A.
     

  Unblockable Setups

  Check out this video for visual help regarding some of Yukiko's unblockable setups:

  • Yukiko Amagi Unblockable Setups by Sindelian
    

  [*]Yukiko's unblockable reset (opponent is in the air).

  Notes: The key to pulling it off is to have the opponent in the air as long as possible. Contrary to her SB Agi bnb, you want to hit them dead on with your Maragi so that they shoot up as high as possible. All of your inputs must be quick, but try to release your B as late as possible so that you can have tine to oki with your unblockable D Maragi. If you do it fast enough, jumping away, evasive actions, hops, all miss the Maragi.

  Some Supers will get through, but most of them still get his by Maragi. On top of that I had to do them really really fast. So your opponent has to anticipate the reset and be able to do their super FAST. Some jump away Supers like Naoto's will go right through it, and instant kills will go through it as well. It's at a safe enough distance to avoid any DPs, so you don't have to worry about that.

  [*]Off the corner confirm go into A Agi > C Agidyne.

  Notes: Hold down the A Agi, and charge up firebreak as they are falling to the ground. Release A Agi on their wake up as a meaty and do an unblockable D Maragi. This set up as far as I know is only beatable by DP.

  [*]In awakening, off a B Agidyne > D Maragidyne confirm.

  Notes: Charge up firebreak as they are being pulled to you, and do SB Agi right on top of them. This gives you a meaty unblockable Agi and you can confirm this into a single Maragi loop. This one is completely unavoidable.

  [*]In the corner after AoA > D.

  Notes: Delay the last A so that the A Agi from the autocombo will have them get knocked to the ground, if done early they will tech in the air. An example combo is available as follows.

  AoA > D > 2C > 2B > 5C > 5B > SB Agi > ]A[ > Firebreak > ]B[ > AoA > C Maragi

  Choysauce's expansion: Pillar > 5C > 5BB > 5C > 5BB > TK A Agi > ]A[ > 5AAAA

  This combo might fail at the 3rd A for the autocombo for an easier one just omit the first 5C. This setup gives you a meaty fire pillar in the corner. The height and timing for which you have to hit the Final AoA is very strict. It feels like the B release has to be done around where Yukiko's face is.

So I'm doing a MEP in a combo video form for yukiko. For those who are confused, a MEP is Multi Editor Production (i think i could be wrong -_-) so i'm calling this a MECP (Multi-Editor Combo Production.) In a MEP, one person selects a song and divided it into sections(parts). People who want to contribute, select a section and name the character they will use for editing in that section. Once everyone has been chosen, they edit and sent it to the person who started it all. Once that is done, that person puts all the clips together into one video.

Since this will be a combo video, it will be done a bit differently. Here is what i want you guys to do.

1. Come up with at least 2-4 combos, they can be practical or unpractable as possible so long as it still red beats. (I will allow one combo from each person to use more that OMB in a combo) This is not only meant to help out others, but we want to have a little fun and be creative, showing things that can never be done.

2. Pick a color. I will allow only two people to use the same color, so long as the persona is a different color. there are 8 in all (16 counting DLC) so that's a total of 32 (though i doubt we will need that much). I will be baies and say that the personas color doesn't matter (so 5 yukikos can be different colors and have the same color persona).

3. POST THE COMBO YOU WILL DO. This will make it that there are no repeat combos in the video. So if you are going to do 3 combos post all three of them so the next person posting can see it and will not do the dame ones.

Just like a regular MEP you will be responsible for recording your own part. Once you have it, put edit you name in the bottom right corner of the screen, just like a regular MEP. Also don't edit it with a song because i will post songs for everyone to vote for and the one with the highest vote will be the song used, just worry about the combo you will do. Once you are finished with it send the video to my gmail (i will PM it to you, just let me know when it is done.) Once we have enough combos, I will put it together, with the song, and upload it to youtube. So get out there be creative, and lets show everyone what we can come up with :D

Songs: These are the songs i'm thinking of using. (please choose the one you think sounds good or catches your interest)
