Challenge mode is never the combos you need to be doing except for a choice few. Yosuke is all about speed and mixups, he simply doesn't do a whole lot of damage without spending resources. This isn't like BlazBlue where you get 2/5's health off of a 5B. And of course you couldn't find any combos, you just started playing. I couldn't find much either. We don't know what to look for, yet. Im definitely eyeballing his EX Kunai though. You can airdash after it if you have an acti

[Grimstar]

Yeah, but I'm thinking his stuff is just do whatever you can for max damage and end it in the moonsault loops > kunai > super.

[g-ram]

I think I'm gonna have to play yukiko. Like a lot. She's so cool. Anyone around here playing her?

[Urichinan]

Yosuke has the potential to do a lot, a simple 2C Fatal punisher in the corner can lead to 6K:

He can do similar things mid-screen.

Watch the whole video and you'll see some really nice stuff from his other good starters like 5A and 2A.

The goto combo that I've been doing so far is 2A, 5A, 5B(3), 5C, 2C, qcf+a, qcf+c

But seriously. He's got poison and confusion, who cares about damage?

Why is it a problem that a short combo is available in the game by pressing a button many times? Who cares? Why demean it? It's in there to help new players get accustomed to the system. Take Mitsuru. Her combos are off of her freeze shots from her Persona, her auto combo ain't that great. Stop being a hipster.

I'm not being a hipster. I legitimately don't like it. I would rather be able to actually DO those combos move by move. Take Akihiko or w/e cape dude's name is for example... He's got that badass looking side to side jab move in his auto combo... But there's no way to do that by itself.

Idk, I mean I'm not anti-ease of use... I'm just not digging the concept is all. It feels like it takes some control out of the player when it does it for you like that.

Nice. I'll post the same thing here that I did on SRK... I bet whenever most of the people who normally aren't into this type of game realize that this is where it's headed, they all drop it.

Just had my first run in with a decent yukiko. I would say that the match-up was frustrating, but aside from getting in, every time I touched her she died.

With that said they still did a very good job of keeping me locked down, even in my maximum range with Mitsuru.

@Milln/Grimstar: Yosuke damage be that good stuff. Requires a few counter-hits, but with the best buttons in the game he shouldn't have too much of a problem getting that. Gets about 3k into confusion oki, he's REALLY strong.

@Woz: Fight meh Woz! No one on PSN is trying to today.

Consider it a Rekka, then, without motions. Patrick is already doing it and then pressuring from there. Yosuke can moonsault or j.2C or qcf+c/d from his 5AAA

This.

What's getting me right now is people are treating it as "mash a for combo into super" and not 5AAA plus another a gets you a super. It's the same as if you played KOF and said "why do any other combo with Bennie when I can just do short, short, knee, super?" Ya it's there but it is not optimized well and there are way better options. As Milln said, use the 5A strings as block strings or other things. There really is no need to demonize the system. The cool Aki punch thing is useful even if you don't end it in a super, sames Yosuke's, I'm pretty sure you can do some neat kunai and moonsault tricks off of it on block, but I could be wrong on that one, may be seeing qcf+a during those.

Best Western Thunderbird, Suite 135 Just drive straight and we are in the building to the back, easy. See peepz soon!

Hay hay hay guys. I forgot all about my account on Dustloop. Hope the Cookeville thingie or whatever goes well, wish I could make it... but I'm workin' for the man. Its all good though, after tomorrow afternoon, I've got three days off for P4U grinding. Hope someone who plays Liz can come to fight night or the 18th tournament because as it stands... I need help. Not even that, I just need help understanding the game in general too. It is rough going so far, for sure. Does anyone here play on XBL? If so I would much enjoy some casuals.

WHAT'S UP FRIEND.

Volpe plays Elizabeth and is loving it. Hit him up. He's on ps3, though. =\

I put everyone on the TN Gamer list.

Lol, we have a spreadsheet now? Cool beans, we're really stepping up in the world.

Digging the 2v2 tournament. Double the P4U action in one day, getting hype.

Sure man I'm almost always down for a match. Not playing Elizabeth though.

[g-ram]

Man I'm having a bit of a character crisis. So many characters I wanna play but I really only want to play one til I know how this game works. Anyone playing ps3 online tonight?

[LastStarSaviour]

Always on, always looking to have matches. Get at me bro!

[Grimstar]

So Persona just suddenly clicked for me. I'm pulling off comboz and sheetz. I just really hope this game doesn't become a corner rape fest Litchi style. A lot of match vids with Yukiko look similar to that mess. Granted I don't know what's overhead and low, and if there's any bullshit 50/50s involved. I pray to god it's just the people who fight her don't know what they're doing yet.

Please god no CS Litchis. ever again.

Edit: I just blue beat the first hit of a combo in training mode. How the fuh? o_o

That's cool. Was asking for advice from Liz players more than mirror matches really. I just need any experience because I've played against less than half of the cast and only against two players who actually knew how to play.

Quit being a mondoscrub and just play Mitsuru or Aigis.

GGs LastStarSavior. Sorry for the DC, hotel internet crapped out. I think after those few games I feel a bit more comfortable with Yukiko than anyone else. I love the amount she just controls everything. If you have any pointers just throw em my way.

[Urichinan]

I fixed my name on the list. :3

How was the meet up guys?

[Grimstar]

Things I've learned after a night of ranked:

Auto combos = boring, easy to beat, etc. Gonna grow tired of seeing these. Also it makes us actual players look like we're just spamming to anyone who doesn't know wtf they're doing. Meh.

Garudyne = GODLY PRIORITAH on startup. Beat out EVERYTHING I tried it on. Satisfaction.

Elizabeth = CT Nu tier? Or maybe idk wtf I'm doing yet vs her. But a lot of her shit seems safe.

Yu's uppercut is fucking dumb. Especially because it's the get out of jail free card for scrubs of all ages.

No one knows how to block against Yosuke.

Watching Mitsuru scrubs mash her auto combo and fail at it is hilarious.

I perfected someone with a B+ rank. No clue how they got it.

Teddy's auto combos are retarded. Every one I fought beat me. dunno if it's damage or safety or what. But apparently the retard is good.

NO ONE ELSE USES YOSUKE!!!

20 matches... 14 wins. I think I'm actually enjoying this game. It's giving me the old CS1 Hazama tingles.
