[P4A] News & Gameplay Discussion

[Alpha152]

Don't know if there's anywhere better to post this but I have a system mechanic question! Is there a certain amount of frames while outside of blockstun where you can't be thrown? I'm using the example of Aki's 5A > C Duck > throw which leaves a 4F gap but the throw whiffs. If anyone could answer I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!

Is there any article or something, that could tell me, how to counter specific Furious Actions?

It's hard to get in on people with Aki, when they can press 2 buttons and I knocked back to fullscreen again.

[Zouf]

Bait them and punish for 5k damage. They will then cease to mash it down.

Us poor shmoes over at the Akihiko forum can help with that. He actually has a wide range of low commitment tools both with meter and meterless that can bait a variety of dp types.

Did someone shared the European fankit that comes with the game?.

EVO stream schedule. Persona 4 Arena finals from 4 to 6 on Friday.

Can we all collectively be mad that MK9, a game with half the entrants, is getting eight hours of pools?

Since this is a clearly relevant time to dredge this up:

EVO and anime don't mix.

I am not surprised of this at all, is sad, but not surprising :/

Anime will have a side stream of pools don't worry. Jyosua and Xie got permission.

...Gods of anime over here

It might be multiple stream setups for Persona. We are still working out the details. I'm working on the overlays tonight. Trust me we got you guys covered for entertainment.

You guys are too awesome.

[Jyosua]

It sounds like countassaulttv also be able to support a stream, as well as finestko. We'll have at least two streams, maybe three or four. It doesn't sound like they'll let us stream multiple pools, so we might have to pick a pool and stick with it.

Dustloop Twitch WIT DA ASSIST.

[Jyosua]

j/k guys, they won't allow multiple side-streams for the Evo games, so only FinestKO is going to stream it.

[Hecatom]

Good news, Nintendo wouldn't allow evo to stream smash (this is so sweet >:D) so we will have more Persona on stream

Perhaps with this the evo staff will learn to not waste time putting that garbage on the lineup to begin with

[antibolo]

...aaaaaand they reverted the schedules after Nintendo cleared up the misunderstanding. Including putting the P4A finals back to miserable Friday.

And of course MK9 keeps its massive coverage despite having less attendance.

There are no words to describe how much I hate the EVO staff at the moment. I'm probably not even going to watch EVO at all now.

[Pssych]

Tom Cannon explained why MK9 has it's own stream day and it's understandable. (aka NRS games are taking place in Ballroom 2 and that's where stream 2 is, while other games are taking place in Ballroom 1.)

[Gemakai]

At least FinestKO is streaming some of the P4A tourney, but I'm a little miffed how much coverage NRS games are getting, not that I think they're necessarily bad, but... holy crap, they're over third of the entire stream!

So is everyone going to abandon P4A for BBCP now?

[Kurushii]

So is everyone going to abandon P4A for BBCP now?

BBCP is over 3 months away. P4U can still have a life in tournaments as long as people show up and play. For netplay it'll lose a lot of it's numbers but bound to always be some players on. I know for TFC and NEC this year on the ec it'll still be a main game. After that it's up to people that enjoy the game to step up to keep it alive. With the amount of titles in tournaments already at the very least it'll be a side tournament game behind BBCP and GGAC+R.

[Jyosua]

As long as players continue to enter tournaments for it, it won't die that easily. Given that most of the Anime crowd plays it, it should continue to get decent numbers at tournaments despite its status. I joke a lot about the game dying and I do think BBCP will surpass P4A's turnouts eventually, but Evo is not going to cause a sudden and massive change.

[Pssych]

Don't forget, there's quite a few P4U specialists too.
