P4AU Evo Prep: Learning the Shab MU.


mixedmethods
  • With Evo approaching and a hit squad of Japanese players heading our way, the Persona community has its work cut out for it in the coming months. In order to improve match-up knowledge, I worked with BananaKen to create a quick (or perhaps lengthy?) overview of some of Shadow Labrys's nastiest set-ups and how to escape them.

Shadow Labrys is a fairly rare match-up as well as a character who can demolish even the best players if they aren't prepared. What makes Shadow Labrys such a tricky opponent is how easily she can turn the slightest amount of respect into a set-up -- once Shadow Labrys forces you to block, it's simply a matter of a time before she places you in an ugly situation that leads to explosive damage. However, many options Shadow Labrys players use aren't airtight, but very few players are aware of their potential escape options. In order for all players to grow (including those of us who play Shadow Labrys), understanding how Shadow Labrys turns a simple pressure string into a command grab set-up and what you can do to stop her is crucial.

No secrets are being kept hidden! All the information provided is offered in the hope that it inspires you to head to the lab, find answers to Shadow Labrys, and be ready for the match-up. As opponents become stronger at fighting Shadow Labrys, the stronger our Shadow Labrys players become, helping us all.

You can find the guide here (Evernote). If you have any questions, ask away!

Very useful, especially since this matchup is horrible for Yukiko.
