I don't think this game has anything too advanced like character weight classes, but I could be wrong. It could just be a character hitbox issue. As for traps, it looks like they have the same launch height, but C trap has less untechable time. C trap will let the opponent tech in the air, while D trap is untechable until they hit the ground.

I don't know if everyone on PSN is just using wireless or what, but I can hardly ever get more than a 1 bar connection. And even when I do, sometimes the game just won't let me connect to them. It's also annoying when I set it to "good connections only" and then I get a bunch of 0 bars or "can't determine connection quality"...I find myself playing on XBL most of the time for netplay.

^What is this OS against Elizabeth?

XBL is great, it's just PSN that has ass connections.

You have to delay the 236A a bit after the 214C launches, to hit with the very top of the 236A hitbox. I usually just stand there and try to time it instead of walking back, but I never thought about trying that before. The timing is kind of hard to explain, but not bad once you grind it out. Try practicing it from Throw > Mudoon > 214C > 214D > 236A~B(1)~D > ... to get the hang of the timing.

I actually enjoy Extend Mu the best, despite how derpy she can be. But yeah, bring on CP already. Hopefully whoever the boss will be has Mu's playstyle.

Regarding EX gunshot, you can throw her out of the startup. So command throws will beat it clean. Then you just have to worry about DP or jump out, but the risk/reward is in your favor.

And then, everyone was Labrys. GGs everyone. Sorry I fell asleep like a bitch but I'm trying to keep my circadian rhythm in order. Oh and thanks for the bubble mailers Jimmy.

Lol sorry Jimmy, I should have informed you. Well, since Nam is willing to wait a little while, I'll still be going to PCP. I just didn't know if I was getting a ride or not and didn't want to go to PCP and back + a 2 hour bus ride to Scottsdale lol. Plus you said you were going to the airport or whatever.

Will you still be there around 5ish? I have to go to a meeting thing after work until 4 and then it'll take me a while to light rail down there. The new PCP is right down the block near the Chuckbox (like literally next door to the old location), and it has much better parking. Edit: Ray bring your Magic cards if you can

Do you need setups Ruben? I think I'm just gonna take the bus to your house since it doesn't take THAT long.

Wait you're looking for Magic stuff Jimmy? I dunno if anyone of us has any Legacy stuff, you're probably best looking online. If you can, try to get Legends cards in Italian because they were more distributed in Italy for some reason and thus cheaper. It's like $10 a copy in Italian, or like $13 in English: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=chain+lightning+italian&_sacat=0

Anyone going to PCP on Friday that's also going to Ruben's? Not having a phone is dildos. I realize how much I took my phone for granted.

Dead Angle and EX Gunstance are probably her most reliable ways of escaping pressure, but with that in mind, you have to know where to use them. A lot of attacks can low-profile Naoto's Dead Angle, such as Mitsuru's sweep or Chie's 2A, which will make you super sad. EX gunstance has some vulnerability during the startup, so if the opponent does a meaty attack or throw (FFFF Kanji) it'll get blown up, so don't jump the gun (ba-dum-tsh). And of course, if you REALLY need to gtfo of there, in Awakening you can use Raid > OMC to guarantee a way out. I like jB for air-to-air a lot, often I find it the only move I can use to stuff the more retarded air normals in the game like that bitch Labrys's jB. With that said, you still have to use it a bit ahead of time but I still think it's our best move for get people to respect us in the air. jA is good too, but hits more downward so it's better as a pressure tool than a move to just beat out the other player's air normal like most other characters. How do you guys feel about 5B as a mid-range anti-air? I think this is the ideal range for Naoto's 5B given it's hurtbox and I've even hit some people from behind with it which looks really silly. I find myself using 5B a lot more than 2B for anti-air tbh. Also I think 2A deserves a mention as a situational anti-air because of Naoto's low profile. I think in terms of anti-airs, Naoto is a lot like Jin in BB, where you can't rely on one move as an all-purpose anti-air and really have to know when and where to press which buttons. Thanks, I'll correct this now, sorry for the late reply. If you airdash and use EX Trap, you'll give your airdash a fastfall. It costs 25 meter, but it's fun to do near the end of the round when they only have a little bit of life left because you can do silly crossups for the kill, and good to mix up the neutral game.

Amazing vids with Denpa. I jotted down some of the combos and setups he used in the videos for future reference, lots of tricks to take note of. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8eG6ZBCxN8#t=3m6s 214D > 5C > IAD jA > jC > 5C > 236A~B(1) > OMB > 2[C] > 5B > 236A+B > 236B~[D]x11 (8.5k dmg, 25% meter and 1 burst) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8eG6ZBCxN8#t=5m39s Throw > Mudoon > 214C > 214D > 236A~B(1)~D > 2A > 5B > 5C > 236B~D x? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8eG6ZBCxN8#t=11m16s 214C hits > 5C > 236B~D > 5C > 214A~Cx5 > Mudoon > 214D > 2B > 5C > 236A~D (214D hits) > 2[C] > 5C > IAD > jB > jC > 214D (airthrow reset) (5.4k, 50% meter, need 33 meter to start) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8eG6ZBCxN8#t=13m1s jC > 5B > 5C > 2C > Mudoon > 214D > 236A~B(1)~D > 2A > 5B > 5C > 236B~[D]x9 (6.4k) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8eG6ZBCxN8#t=14m53s 5D~D air CH (1st two hits) > dash 5B > 5C > 236B~Cx5 > Mudoon > ??? Even Denpa was like "yo, this hitconfirm is too hot for me" www.youtube.com/watch?v=daad7eh7-Jk#t=6m Trap hit > 5C > IAD > jB > jC > OMB > 2[C] > dash 5C > IAD > jB > jC > dash 5C > 236B~D > dash 5C > 236A+B... (2.4k, 25% meter and 1 burst) Did 2.4k but Yu was in Awakening, ending with ...236A+B~Cx5 does about 4.7k. Could be worth the burst to get the kill if you get a trap hit later in the round. www.youtube.com/watch?v=daad7eh7-Jk#t=7m29s 214D hits > dash 2[C]> dash 5C > IAD > jB > jC > Mudoon > 214C > 5AA > 236A+B~D > 5C > 236B~D xn? (4.8k before Yu bursted) www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPRj9t5jwRM#t=2m20s Love this fuzzy guard setup, jC (blocked) > land > jumping jAAAA, and it looks like you can actually get a small loop off of it. I think Denpa OMB'd either to bait Yu's burst, or just squeeze out the last bit of damage to threaten a kill since the combo was scaled so harshly from 4 jAs. jA > jA > jA > jA > jB > 5B > 2C > Mudoon > 214C > 214D > 236A~B(1)~D > 5C > 236B~[D]x3 > OMB > 2[C] > 5C >... (3.3k before Yu bursted) EDIT: So it looks like you CAN do a SMP loop off a fuzzy guard, albeit a prorated one. 236B~[D]x6 > 236A~D nets 4,355 damage. Also the fuzzy guard seems character specific, obviously it works on Yu but I couldn't get it to work on Yosuke for example. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPRj9t5jwRM#t=3m (trap nearby) Airthrow > 214D hits > dash 2[C] > dash 5C > IAD > jB > jC > dash 5B > 236B~D > 5C > 236A~D (3.9k) Nice meterless airthrow confirm with a 214D nearby. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPRj9t5jwRM#t=12m28s 236B~D FC > 2A > 2B > 5C > 2[C] > 5B > jD > j214C+D > falling jB (j214C hits) > land 5C > 236A~D (214D hits) > ...

Lol GGs. You should've just IAD jB all day, I always lose to Labrys players that do that

214A+B > Ax5 > Mudoon > (dash) 214D > 5AA > 236A~D > 2[C] > 5B/2B > 5C > 236B~[D]...(can't remember how many reps, but does like 7k)

Oh you played against Dave. Yeah his Teddy is really good and he's a cool guy.

GGs everyone, next time I'll try not to embarass myself on stream good shit Justin and Marvin fuck I'm tired

I'm going. Brian and Ray are most likely going too, but probably not to enter the ranbat. Time to grind SMP combos. Oh and Marq the tourney starts at 4:30 but Haz's place opens at like 1

I think the Anomaly Arcade stick crew will be there tomorrow. You might want to see if they can give you a good deal on stick repair.

One More Bursts count as two SMP moves, so does Mudoon in Naoto's case. So for that example, 214D is the first SMP move, followed by 2A (2), 2B (3), jA (4), jB (5), jC (6), OMB (7, 8), 2[C] (9), 5B (10), and 236B (11). I don't think 5C counts as an SMP move since it's used multiple times in some of Naoto's other SMP combos. Side note, Aigis with SMP combos would be some scary shit, I don't think she needs any more tools lol.

Basically you want to hit them as they fall down, with the very tip of 236A's hitbox. Then do the B~D followups asap. Then after that, you'll have a little more time than you think to link the 2[C]. The timing is tricky but not bad after you practice. Now it someone has an easy way to do C shots > Mudoon, I'm all ears. It is the only Naoto combo part I just cannot do consistently.

Yosuke is an asshole character, but I think his lack of true oki prevents him from being straight-up S tier.
