GGs to everybody. Whoever's from GFaqs monitoring, send my regards. Was fun!

This. I feel kinda bad when I'm holding lobbies up because it takes like 30 seconds to save a replay and clear post-game screen on my PS3. I'll be real; not worth it if you already have PSN. While there are definitely some quality players on live, it's not uncommon to have 0 lobbies going on at a time (not to say that people won't play, you just need to make a lobby... people don't like doing that for some reason). Overall, connection quality is much better on XBL compared to PSN, though... so if you wanna get extended sets with people you actually know, I'd prefer XBL over PSN, but I dunno if I'd say it's worth spending money over.

Hey BananaKen. Glad to see you around here. I'd love for stuff like this. I save replays of all my matches, and I was glad to have some games with you recently. I went over the replays a bit, but yeah, mirroring what others have already said, actually hearing what the heck I was doing wrong is something great. I also have both XBL and PSN, though I've only run into you ever on XBL. What would the best way to reach you be? I'd like to get in on this before you get bored of bodying all of us and stop. ;D

How're we gonna keep this organized, btw?

There's not really a good way to keep him away from you. If he wants to be right next to you, he'll be there in general. Challenging him in the air seems to be one of the better options; j.A is really good. Trying to fight him on the ground is pretty difficult, since Yukiko's moves are really slow and have bad recovery in general. The occasional Maragi is nice to try and control space, but j.A is good, as is having j.D on the screen to cover fan throws. Be especially on the lookout for CHs that you can confirm to Maragi loops, since he's one of the few chars you can kill pretty quickly off of a Maragi combo + firebreak reset. Only punish slides with 2A; he recovers fast enough to DP reversal anything else if you try to punish it from my experience. Combos that end in the air typically let you tech in the air. Yosukes typically try to catch you in the air with a 2B afterward; use j.D to pause your fall and reassess the situation / changesides / dash / throw a fan / whatever.

I won't even get to play. ;(

ggs to the few that i played last night. off to 9 straight hours of exams, then i'll prob hop online in a tired, irritable, murderous rage.

Good question. I don't think I've even seen an Aigis player on XBL other than Kurum in like 2 weeks.

If you play against a lot of deer-in-headlights kind of people (the ones that block everything), start dazzling them with Agi detonations as you run up and throw them. Or just build meter with blockstrings and turn Fire Break on whenever you build enough for a super. If neutral game's been stale and your opponent's been letting you build fire stocks, the sudden presence of fire break and enough meter for super will probably catch their attention, especially if you can position your Persona to pull off a C Agidyne -> sideswitch -> sweep -> D Agidyne. If they're hardcore blockers, you can usually afford to throw in a 6D during blockstrings on occasion. It's not safe, but if they just wanna block everything, at least start pushing them toward the corner where it's easier to set up unblockables and stuff.

People still play this game? Or this character? Anyway, 236C (C Maragi) is a pretty invaluable tool when it comes to controlling space, keeping people off of you or using it to get in, but the obvious drawback is that you have to hit C to manually detonate, which makes it less desirable. Key is to 'deonate' a C Maragi using 214C (Fire Boost). Fire a C Maragi off and you're usually free to do a 214C, or even better, 214C if they jump and force them to block, halting their approach and building an extra stock. I've been trying this out lately and it's definitely a neat way to build stocks up, especially if you're up against characters where you NEED to kill them in a single combo (like Yosuke or Slab). The same applies for whiffing a throw (C+D). A neat little use is to throw out a 236C and run forward behind it. Detonate using C+D. It lets you approach an opponent or easily detonate if they try to jump it. If they tried to roll your 236C, the C+D might catch them into a throw. This is also really helpful against rollers in general, since they have to roll through both a slow moving Maragi and be faced with a mostly auto-correcting C+D if they clear it. Another interesting thing is to try and end blockstrings up close with a 1/2/3B, sj-cancel back and throw a j.1B fan to cover your jump, 1D, airbackdash and throw another fan at the ground as you land. This creates a loose unblockable setup without you having to rush in (they have to block the 1D high cause it's an overhead, and the air fan will hit them low). If they tried pushing a button, you can confirm a counterhit. This also keeps you safe from most DPs, and allows you to run up and punish them if they do one anyway. This setup seems to work particularly well against characters that can't deal very well with stuff directly above them, like Kanji.

I'm just teasin, s.lab matchup is kinda fun since I have to play my char in a completely different way.

what is this crap i already hate the liz MU, now liz players are moving to Slab!? my poor yukiko ggs mime and anyone else who dropped by my lobby today

ggs again rawr

ggs Wuda, Quotes, BananaKen

GGs everyone today!

there's enough liz players to do a liz vs. the world event anyway lol

For emphasis.

i wish i had more hands to strangle you with

damn all you people that actually have people playing your characters LET'S GO YUKIKO SHOW EM QUALITY OVER QUANTITY in other news, ggs everyone tonight--- miracle, book(?), ray, etc

ggs Dairy, badlime, and everyone in PJs.

GGs pwnd, tec, woof, everyone else!

Team B tier vs the world

You, Gio and Jaguar wouldn't be team Pretty Girl. It'd be team Gazelle Hoof Moe. Unless you're all playing Slab. Asterius is the prettiest girl in the entire cast.

It's all good. The play still looked really solid all over imo. Next time we need to do round robin style. It's no fun being paired up with the same person all the way up.
