Please god no CS Litchis. ever again.

Sounds you like hate making reads.

Chie can Meteor, rush in and mix up.

Yu can Maziodyne, rapid it and is mostly covered up by the beam to get mixups on you.

Kanji can low you or Command grab on your wakeuP.

If this turns you off, quit playing now and give Patrick or Doromac your copy.

To explain: each character has their own way of fighting and accel at particular things. However, of they can't do this, they aren't just plain boned like in other games, you can spend resources to achieve this extra option that you wouldn't normally have. For the above Chie and Yu, those still cost a lot. Chie has to be 35% or below + 50 meter and Yu's costs 100 meter.

Im not... Upset at you, I just have little patience for the way you choose to tone and word your posts about P4A so far. Especially with remarks like making a claim that Elizabeth is as bad as Nu was. We need to pla Yosuke dittos. I love those!

Nobody is stepping out of line when they say they don't want CS1 Litchi stuff in any game. It's not a matter of "hating making reads" with her. It's a matter of "oh, so you just put me in a combo? Okay then, go ahead and get 50+ meter to do a Super that makes the next three to four mix-ups you do safe, all of which you can hit confirm into to get another ridiculous amount of meter and likely do another Super once you're done, and none of which I can Burst/DP out of."

Chie's Meteors can be easily back/airdashed if she uses them to approach you, and many characters have Supers they can use after neutral tech to punish her if she uses them on her opponent's wakeup and gets too aggressive. Yu's Ziodyne can be airblocked if he uses it outside your neutral tech (which nullifies any chance of a mix-up using it), and even if he Rapid Cancels it to try to score a mix-up, the most he can get with 100 meter off it is about 1K. And yes, Kanji is a grappler character.

But yeah, Elizabeth is nowhere NEAR CT Nu level, lol.

[Astaroth136]

I fixed my name on the list. :3

How was the meet up guys?

Too awesome. I played long sets with everybody and could tell by the end of the night that I was twice as better as before (same can be said for everyone else too). Chandler's Yu was making people rage, but we were all learning ways to deal with the shenanigans. Klein's Liz is looking solid. Doro doesn't even have the game but already has Chie combos down. I could compliment everyone singularly, so I'll just say this: We didn't have a single scrub in there mindlessly pressing buttons. Everyone had a general understanding of how their character plays and what to do.

GGs to all. It was a blast, and I'll see you all next saturday at the new Game Galaxy.

I am in agreeance that CS Litchi never needs to happen. Since its not in this game, I'm taking his comment to the logical level of what can be happening in PawSawna.

[Klein]

Elizabeth's only safe things are 5A, 2A, 2B, and j.B, lol.

Auto combos always end with punishable specials, if you're having a problem with them, block and hit 5A.

If you're having a problem with uppercuts, use DP safe oki, block on their wakeup for a couple frames, then attack, stop pressure string to block if they're mashing in them.

That's all the advice I can give Grimstar.

And the hotel party was awesome, good games to all, Naimat, I love you for being the only person I can play footsies with. Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.

[Seiki]

Good games to all yesterday. I had a ton of fun. Thanks Tad for arranging this event!

[Papstr]

Had a blast yesterday. So much awesome, so much fun.

Hopefully nobody got offended at my extreme salt. Apparently a huge lack of sleep turns me into a rage machine. I feel bad about that >_>

Huge thanks to Tad for arranging all of this, and a big thanks to Milln for sitting down and basically coaching me while I was playing in those wee hours of the morning. Probably the first time in a long time I was able to full grasp what I should be doing and how to do it.

Gonna body some fools on the 18th.

[Milln]

TEN THOUSAND GOOD GAMES TO EVERYONE THAT CAME OUT.

Mini-shoutouts-

Jackie: LOOOOOAAWWWLLLSS at 10-0-ing my Naoto, me switching to Yosuke, beating you, then rage quitting. Hahahaha I already texted you to make sure you knew I wasn't upset and that we understood each other. Keep it up!

Naimat: No probs for the ride. Glad you could make it! I enjoyed our discussions greatly; I think talking about a game's mechanics and intricacies is helpful to understanding everything as well as playing it.

Klein: Gee-rooty Gear-u Good looks trying to help me make Papstr stop being a scaredy cat.

Papstr: Stop playing Guile as Chie. She is not going to go home and be a family waifu. It was a pleasure helping you figure out Persona.

Doromac: We didn't play! Keep up the work you're putting in, man. You're consntantly thinking of something else you could be doing and it makes me happy.

Cookeville Crowd that I barely talk to: HAAAAYYYLLL YAYUH. PERSONA. Top marks to the Naoto player for playing Naoto because Naoto is a boss. Naoto Naoto.

Astaroth: Thanks for helping me figure out at least some semblance of a game plan against Kanji at crap in the morning. NO ONE SUSPECTS THE BUTTERFLY.

Keith: I'm pretty sure that you and I need to go for the Guinness Record of longest time playing a video game straight. It's currently at 42 hours. We can do this, we just did like four... six hours easy. Playing you is a lot of fun, man. I'm satisfied!

JV: Jade Empire is the stuff. I really appreciate you coming out and jamming.

Ragnarok: Text incoming

EFFING

TAD

Tad da bess. High five for setting all this up, I'm a little disappointed I didn't get to play you during alllllll that time that everyone was there, but it's alright. There'll be other gatherings and tournaments. I'm glad you've taken a liking to Persona. Everyone always really enjoys hanging out with you. We really do. =D Just general talking about stuff is fun with the Tad.

Not even bashing the game man. I was posting my fears of what it COULD be. Not necessarily what it is. I'm enjoying the game, and like I said, I profoundly hope there is no CT Nu or CS Litchi bs in it. I didn't say it IS in the game. Two different things.

Fears/hopes =/= Assumptions

[3:08:51 PM] AchedSphinx: well, trig asked me to never speak of this, but if you do sweep > j.B > j.C > 5B, block string loop, its gapless

[3:08:58 PM] AchedSphinx: the training dummy gets guard bonus haha

[3:09:22 PM] AchedSphinx: well to never tell the Yu thread guys

[3:09:43 PM] AchedSphinx: you have to IB the j.C in order to stop it basically

Watch out for Aigis in the corner guys.

This shit is what i was talking about Milln.

This is nothing to worry about. P4A has a guard bonus just like BB does. Basically, if you're kept in blockstun for six seconds or more, your character will start instant blocking everything automatically until you're put out of blockstun. That means free Heat for as long as she keeps spamming it. Of course, you could always just Instant Block the jC, or Counter Assault/Dead Angle/whatever-P4A-calls-it for 50 Heat if you're not feeling confident with your timing.

[Grimstar]

So... if you play Elizabeth...

Fuck you.

That is all.

Oh, ok. That's good to know then.

I was thinking about doing a list of shout-outs, but then I realized I don't think I can do two weeks of shoutouts in a row. So I'm just gonna abbreviate by saying:

We didn't have a single scrub in there mindlessly pressing buttons. Everyone had a general understanding of how their character plays and what to do. GGs to all.

Tad da bess. High five for setting all this up, I'm a little disappointed I didn't get to play you during alllllll that time that everyone was there, but it's alright.

^These. Seriously, it was great to see the diversity and solidity of everyone's characters and playing styles, despite the game being out for less than a week. Tad gets my undying gratitude for setting this up, and for setting it up in Cookeville of all places. I know a lot of people made a drive to get here, especially Tad. Thanks a ton for making this possible Tad, and I'm really sorry we didn't get a chance to play Gear. I finished up with Naimat and was gonna ask you if you wanted to play some, but you were passed out on the bed and I didn't wanna bother you. We'll play at MTN fo' sho'. And thanks to everyone who showed up. I'd love for this kind of thing to happen more often, even if it's not five minutes from my house. :P

Mr.Grimstar, I do not pretend to know anything about you but you tend to have a way of overreacting.

Hahahahahaha Dacidbro plays Akihiko too.

Good 5B clashes on Mitsuru's charge stab.
