That's your problem. Change the second 5B to 5AA and add a 2B in between [2C] and 5C. Also, is it just me, or does it feel like that Naoto's 5A is one of the worst in the game? I could barely have 5A land on anybody during the offline session I just came back to, making me resort to 5C and 2C footsies but then the guys in my scene are starting to catch up to it and now it's not working like it did before. Maybe it's because I'm still trying to shake off my autopilot pressure but yeah, it feels like I've hit a plateau with Naoto as everybody is blocking everything I throw at them and none of my mixups are working.

Just made it back home safely. Although it was hot, stuffy, and disorganized, it was also a lot of fun. It was cool seeing a number of you guys make it out and supporting P4A and I'm starting to get an idea on what I need to improve on, I just need to go do some research and have countless more matches with you guys, online or offline so that I can get better. And a big shoutouts to B-RAi for inviting us, we should also try to make it to TTF as well. Oh and shoutouts to Roa for going out of his way to purchase a $20 HDMI cable for his setup since he left his at home.

Yes! I need that Labrys matchup experience!

Congratulations guys! We did it!

Do note that you may have somewhat of a hard time performing it on Mitsuru as opposed to Yu, Kanji, Akihiko, etc. due to Mitsu's weird ass hitbox where you have to delay the C shots just a tiny bit. Who knows, there may be other characters where you have to change up the timing of certain parts a bit.

Completely understandable. And it goes without saying that if anybody needs to use my PS3 TE Chun Li stick, I'd be happy to let them use it. Anyway, I hope nothing comes up and I'll be able to go.

Good shit Zeromus, and as for punishing obvious F-Actions in the corner, this should be our go to combo all the time. Just grinded for about an hour for this and it's not as bad as I thought it is. The hardest parts I would say is buffering the bullets into Mudoon (236B~CCCCC236236D) and actually having 2B > 5B > 5C hit by having 2B hit at the correct height but if you can get them down consistently then you're in good shape. But if anybody can come up with an easier FC that can do around 9-10K then be my guess.

Yes from 6-10 pm we're going to meetup at SD's new venue for FGs. http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?threads/san-diego-saltmines-mira-mesa-kearny-mesa-casuals.165396/ Low mid tier for life. #hipster

No more Yu? Hell yes! For some reason, I can manage Mitsurus more than Yus. And cool that shtkn's going, I guess that means you can bring Watermelonz as well? Gonna do my best to go as well.

Tried out Kyle's Oki setups myself and it's something to be wary of if you're opponent is being honest. Although don't expect to pull this off online where people mash DP and hope it sticks. And speaking of Oki, I'm having a hard time "timing" the jump after 5AAA. I feel that I'm jumping too late and I have no idea how these Japanese players are able to jump right after the 3rd A for Oki.

Basically if you aren't zoning him out and AAing his Bet Ya Can't Take This! attempts with converted 2Bs then you're doing something wrong. Also don't let him touch you once, or else you'll be forced to deal with his mixup which is less straightforward than the rest of the cast. Will elaborate on this later.

Jesus Christ so many 360 setups. I suppose you guys wouldn't mind if I borrow one of your 360 sticks would you? And I just went 2-10 against glod's Kanji, what the hell happened to me? I should've stopped being nice and completely zoned you out lol.

Now the question is who will be bringing setups for P4A? As much as I'd love to bring my PS3, I don't have a monitor unfortunately.

Hmm, I'll try to make it out, I don't think I have plans on Monday.

I got hatemail too, but from a Kanji player who beat me with lucky super grabs who complained that I kept playing keepaway with Naoto's bullets...... does that count?

Better trap placement, smart shooting and mid-range pokes while staying out of the air is all she can do right now. Has worked pretty well with me so far. Labrys only shines when she's in your face so why give her that advantage? So you can be fancy with Naoto? Naoto would criticize that judgement as uncharacteristic of a detective.

Ugh, I'm in need of some real P4A. Will the room be up tomorrow around noontime Pacific time? Don't worry, I'll be using wired.

Hell, I'm scared to do meaty Oki on netplay because people are just so damn courageous with their easy to perform, motionless universal reversals. It's like these people magically know when I'm baiting it, and when I'm not. So for now, it's just pew pew pew and midrange pokes for me.

For now, I'm guessing no, because it seems that trap oki only works if you make the opponent scared of your Naoto, which is almost impossible online because everybody is being a mashy disrespectful fuck right now. /rant

Can Naoto have any air superiority against Labrys at all? That j.B is too good, so I don't even bother jumping in unless I have my opponent scared after punishing a few mistakes that they've made. But of course, watch out for the 2B.

Alternating between Aim, placing traps and well timed and placed 5C, 2C and [2C] pokes at mid-range should calm them down a bit. It sounds like you're simply relying on staying back and shooting while occasionally laying a trap or two to win, which is what I originally was trying to do.

There's no Labrys figure unfortunately. Anyway I just sent an e-mail to Rising Sun, we'll see where it goes from there. And Donnie, this is your video right here, go watch it.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but is there some way we can know how much PSR we'll win or lose depending on our opponent's rank? I want my Naoto to have 666 PSR.

Actually there was, Roa played a pretty legit Labrys which also gave me a better understanding how to beat her, which is basically play gay with Naoto's long range game and play footsies with her midrange pokes such as 5C and 2C if I'm feeling bold while staying away from the air most of the time in order to avoid that bullshit j.B of hers lol, then confirm a combo into IK if she has 0 Fate Counters and I have match point. And glod, there was a Kanji figure for sale too. Tell you what guys, I'll ask Rising Sun Creations in SD to see if they can stock up on Persona 4 One Coin Grande boxes, buy a box or two and sell you guys what figures you want.

Just made it back home safely about 20 minutes ago. GGs everybody, it was nice finally getting some offline experience after playing a bunch of online matches. Sure playing online with people close to you helps, but offline will always be superior, as you can finally block everything you react to. Shoutouts to Roa hosting and the pizza. Shoutouts to meeting Donnie and that guy who plays Liz and Kanji who also gave me this. (Who was he again?) Shoutouts to watching Olympics with Roa's family for a bit. Shoutouts to being able to play "honestly." And shoutouts to jinxing Roa while he was playing P3FES and I said that Magaru will miss one enemy... and it did. #scumbagichi Anyway can't wait to go to another offline session if I have time, it actually prompted me to play more solid. Oh and just out of curiosity, to the guys who were there, what figures did you guys get?
