For those who missed the Hachiouji Singles Tournament Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/central804/b/483926636

Well, for those who don't know, Kanji does 275 damage with Persona-less 214C (counterhit, idk if it makes a huge difference or not). Another thing that I saw was Naoto being counter hit for trying to 5A the recovery of Primal Force when she was in Kanji's 5C range. If they 5a it too late Kanji will lose a card, but Take recovers fast enough to land a 5C afterwards. Saw some of this on here, Kanji vs Naoto starts at the 27:00 mark: http://www.twitch.tv/central804/b/483926636 Still watching the vid so I'm might be missing some stuff

The only thing I know for a fact is that he recovers health at a slow pace.

But Kanji has that new persona tackle that goes through projectiles. He shouldn't really struggle with that now. As for Junpei, his install continues to the next round. It heals him too if people didn't notice before.

The Junpei player was PET, a former Kanji player in P4A. At least I think it was the same player.

Yeah I didn't realize it till now. My bad. Some nice Yukari gameplay right now. For day 1 looks pretty good.

Another P4A2 stream if anyone's interested: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/%E6%9D%B1%E4%BA%AC%E3%83%AC%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A3%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%83%892%E5%8F%B7%E5%BA%97-bbcp%E9%87%8E%E8%A9%A6%E5%90%88%E9%85%8D%E4%BF%A1

Yukiko is a pain, I struggle against her, mainly because I'm not blocking properly, which sends me to full screen. Anyways, here are some of my recent matches. My losses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4FFy6HSh90 (Mitsuru) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK0_7IgCtNM (Yu) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grqI6rjeT6s (Yukiko) My wins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE_531mpXdE (Mitsuru) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsQ9rIH85Uc (Yu) I deserved that IK against Mitsuru, running in to DP was dumb, and the matches with both Yukiko and Yu were ass kickings. I don't understand what I'm doing right in my matches when I win. I can't seem to emulate that success in other matches.

I done some dumb things when I started playing P4A for the first time. Since your learning Kanji, do your best to keep you bad habits to a minimum. I've played in over 100 matches, and i'm still doing stupid things (Like trying IK's, or spamming j.214A/B) but its not nearly as often as before. That's due to Training mode and online experience. Since newer players are showing their gameplay, my scrubby ass should show some of mine. Kanji Mirror match! So hype! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trZ1_V1y4P0 D command grab beats super, It's a shame he didn't know that. Beating a absolutely horrible Chie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW0U6UURp4Y This video is just showing the FC combo I use. It's very simple to do, and does respectable damage. I'm still working on my other FC combos in training mode, having trouble with the execution. My match against Akihiko http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqTQ9rU7E7M I lost to the same guy twice before this match. He was the first Akihiko that I played that knew he had a C attack he could use. The first round was a mirror of my previous matches with this guy, throwing out 5C when he was too close and eating one too many j.C and 5.C shots from Caesar. Lets just say I was fortunate that I won, but I need to check out some stuff with Aki in training mode. My match against Yukiko http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_sXBMJb7r8 I lost to this guy in a previous match, due to the Super-Fire Break into another super. This time around, I had enough meter to punish him with j.214SB. Edit: I just realized I could have punished her with j.C to get FC (around the 30 second mark). I opted for j.214SB instead. In all of these matches, you'll see that I don't follow up a command grab with anything. I'm still having problems getting Cruel Attack to come out. Its probably a timing issue. Let me know if there is anything I need to work on.

Before you ever consider a command grab, you need to know how they react on wake up. If they mash on wake up, use the D version of the command grab (I never use the quick command grab, unless I hit someone with 5B). If they DP, you can time 5C to get Fatal Counter (harder against some characters, you can figure out the proper timing by going into training mode). You have to read your opponent during the match to get a better idea. Bad players DP, decent players will use 5A or 2A, and better players use a combination of both, quick escape, and throw on wake up. As for 2B, I was throwing it out like crazy in the beginning, but I only use it during FC combos now. I found it to be a bad habit to use it randomly during a match. That's my 2 cents anyway. A.X.I.S. is more qualified to answer most of this stuff than I am, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

All I know is that he lost to Shuuto, who won the whole thing.
