A few questions for all you Mitsuru pros out there...
I played bucket loads of P4A with my friends and mained Mitsuru and had a pretty good grasp on her character and combos, but I have very limited match-up experience. However, I've decided to be a bit more adventerous this time around and play more online but have been really struggling against any character really (so many character specialists in a game called Persona, go figure) and find it exceptionally difficult creating situations that lead to heavy combos. Most of the time, I seem to only get a clean hit with a max range 5A which thanks to the new auto combo gives me a full auto combo but not much else. The opponent always seems to fall out of he range of my 5B for mix-up, OMC and the lot. Most opponents seem to understand this and apart from a random D I never seem to get an opportunity to deal heavy damage. So most of the time I'm just mashing auto-combo to get in close or gain meter. Anytime I try and do anything fancy in terms of footsies or high low I get blown-up with a FC. It doesn't help that all my old punish combos don't work and I am struggling with the proper button holds (charge time not an issue, just 2B, B charges). This is day four for me, but I feel I'm really struggling to get some good solid damage. Very hard to open up a lot of these new characters. Any advice?
