I feel it's a tie between AC and +R, depending on which character you play and how they fare in each version. I would love a version that lets you choose the AC or +R version of your character as you see fit, keeping the system mechanics of +R. +R is my personal favorite since it has the most enjoyable version of Dizzy, but some characters like Baiken got a bunch of weird changes in that version and I understand why players would not prefer it. I don't care for Xrd much personally.

It's a bad habit. I used to do this a long time ago but fortunately I ironed it out early on before it became too much of a long term habit. There are specific uses for controlled mashing of buttons or intentionally pressing a button multiple times in a row but 99% of the time you should only be pressing buttons the minimum amount of times it takes to execute the commands you want.

I've been getting a glitch with the P fish quite frequently, both intentionally and otherwise. Basically it seems to trigger when you grab the opponent right before P fish is about to bite the opponent for the third? time. All it does is make the fish freeze in place instead of disappear, and it seems to last until you summon another fish. The previous fish will then animate the same way as the new one but seems to have no hitboxes or anything. I can't replicate it with any consistency at all but I've seen it happen dozens of times from both trying to force it to happen and just playing normally. Probably doesn't have any real gameplay affect but I found it strange how often and easily I have been seeing it, I'm surprised it wasn't caught before release. I really don't understand the P and K fish summons in this game, they have so many huge gaps and feel really awkward to use effectively. The timing on H fish feels pretty bad too but it at least works off 2D knockdowns so I understand it more than the others.

You have to tiger knee the K dandy step during the homing dash after the 5D. So, 5D 6 2147K To get both K pilebunkers after the 5D, you have to hit with the first one before they start sliding down the wall at all. If you see them slide even a tiny little bit before the first K pilebunker hits, do not try to go for the second one. Do a P pilebunker, 5H 2H, 5H 2D, 2D, or whatever else instead.

Azrael keeps me playing BB. I've played since CT but I was kind of lukewarm towards every game after it, until CP. Azrael has a much more tolerable combo duration and just the pure fun factor that I was looking for.

has anyone been able to get 5D > K pilebunker to connect? I've seen it done but I have not been able to get it to work even once

You can also roll through the orb safely. If you are paralyzed and he tries to IK you rolling back and forth through the orb until it ends is the best way to avoid it also

*reserved* still a work in progress obviously. I based this thread on the format being used on other character subforums, i have some stuff typed up already but i am still working on the formatting to make it match obviously I am not a mod and am not attempting to pretend to be one so the stuff about infractions and whatnot is just the basic site rules statement copied from another thread if you have any combos that you think should be included above feel free to post them and I will try to add them in when I can. Please do me a favor and try to format them appropriately to make it easier on me if you can

Quoting myself because laziness

Way back at the start of P4A I mained Elizabeth and Akihiko was the only matchup I actually felt good about. Unlike many other characters Akihiko actually has to respect a lot of her stuff and his mixup isn't the best so once he is in she isn't that scared of getting hit and killed in 2 combos. One important thing to remember is that both her DP and ghastly wail are grabs so jumping or hopping during pressure are safer than they would be against most other characters (this is also somewhat true for Margaret since her DP is also a grab). You just have to be careful on the approach like with any annoying long range/poke character like Margaret, Ken, Sho, Yu, Mitsuru, etc. Make careful use of SB kill rush and SB corkscrew, and don't forget 5D exists.

Don't we already have that color? I think it comes in the old BGM/stage DLC packs

Losing midscreen IAD combos hurts a lot, they were the most fun part of the character. I hope something else fun is discovered, Azrael seems fine overall in 2.0 but removing fun things is not a good way to keep people playing your game

Lack of moderator involvement basically. I've been considering making a thread myself at least temporarily
