[P4A] News & Gameplay Discussion

[Thancruz]

Hello all. Just got p4a on the 360 for christmas all thanks to my wife. I have been interested in this game since around september but never got around to buying the game. I have played the game only once thanks to a friend and really enjoyed it. This and sfxt(omg ppl play that game?!?!) are the only games i want to take serious atm.

As more of a rookie sf player what really transitions from playing sfxt to p4? Or mostly what sets this game apart from its anime fighter peers? Only other anime fighter i have tried was bb, but didnt really get into it. I hope i enjoy my stay with the p4 crowd since i really like the look amd feel of this game

Pretty much almost everything transitions over. You'll probably have an easier time with links. You just gotta get used to dashing/air dashing/instant air dashing. P4 also has a lot of unique skills like the All Out Attack and side ways turning in midair. It also borrows some skills from KOF like rolling and hopping which are generally intermediate/advanced techniques. The latter doesn't get seen often though.

Another thing that im consistently reading is only practice challenges 1-10 for a certain period of time. Did most players have trouble adjusting to the game at first?

Playing BB for a year, this game took some time to get used to. Most of which was learning the positioning of the buttons, since I kept pressing B when I wanted to do A. That, and the AOA were the only things that really took me time to get used to.

Yes the button lay out is a tad weird to me. I tried mapping my buttons like x=a y=b b=c a=d since i wanted to have the default bb settings but i just ended up confusing myself even more lol.

I use the default for this game. For some reason, S.Persona (D) never gave me any troubles, probably because it wasn't muscle-memory'd as something else.

Hey the other day "Throw Reject Miss" actually happened in some netplay game on PSN, anyone have any idea how such a thing can even trigger in P4A?

[LiveWireX]

I know it can happen in BBCSX, so MAYBE the trigger for it is the same? I'm not sure though because I've legit never seen that happen in any of the P4A matches I've seen or played and this is the first instant of it happening I've heard of.

[shtkn]

yeah, i've never heard of TRM in P4. closest i remember hearing is that aigis's ground throw needs to be teched AFTER her throw starts.

i'd have to see video proof of this...

interesting. so it's done when normal throwing ppl in stagger state? only time ive seen that is kanji chair super > OMC > command throw. Don't think i saw TRM then...

[Elochai]

Considering that command grabs can't be teched in P4U (at least to my knowledge), you wouldn't get TRM during them anyway.

Thanks SKD! Always took stagger state command grab combos for granted, didn't consider the possibility of normal grabs.

No

[Pichy]

They'll make a new

Pro Jumper

game.

[Dime_x]

Is this game dead?

[Sanger Zonvolt]

Is this game dead?

That be a shame because I'm just getting into it as of recently.

[Adam0812]

Is this game dead?

It's coming out in Europe this week, so no

[firecotton]

So how big is the Xbox Live community in this game? I've read many times that the game isn't as active as the PS3 version.

I don't have a stick for my PS3, and I also don't plan on dual modding my stick, doesn't seem worth it.

Game is coming out tomorrow in europe so I can see it myself, but it would be nice to know if the community on the 360 is still active in US.

[Young Navigator]

It is largely active in the United States. I run a weekly ranbat on Xbox Live (http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?16211-%28XBL%29-P4A-Online-Ranbat-Reboot-Season-1-Week-3-If-Labrys-Just-Had-More-Tools)

I'd be largely interested to see how EU connections work out in terms of match ups with the Eastern United States.
