I too, want to be able to combo off of normal hit traps again.

Anybody down for a Stylish Unlimited tournament for CP as a throwback to the one we had for Extend two years ago back in Frubble?

This is somewhat of a broad answer but you would advance while taking in your opponent's character's capabilities and what can they do at certain ranges into account. A classic situation would be airdashing towards a character that has a DP at an attempt to hit him/her with a jump attack. It can go a handful amount of ways; 1) You get in successfully 2) You commit to the airdash but get DP'd 3) You airdash but hold barrier THINKING he/she's going to DP etc. With situations like these, it becomes imperative that you mix up your movement and advances. Not the best answer I know, but neutral in airdashers in general are a bit daunting when it comes to understanding them. All I can say is that you'd do well to learn the game's mechanics and your character's movement, normals, specials,e tc.

I don't mind the name change, I'd endure this than not get the game at all. It just made me laugh out loud the moment I saw it

OH GAWD

Thanks for the guide! Been trying to make time to learn +R and this guide has certainly pushed me in the right direction. Would've been nice if it included Goku Moroha combos but I'll simply experiment with that on my own.

Chaos and Akatsuki are suffering. And interesting, Orie is a bit lower from the tier list I found somewhere in this thread. Is this list his personal tier list or what most players in Japan agree on?

ROUND 1 0:20 Could've been confirmed into 2C. Maybe you thought 5B wasn't going to hit so you autopiloted into 236A? In any case I'll chalk this up to lol netplay. 0:23 Again, another instance where you didn't hitconfirm into something better. I wasn't expecting Bond-like execution where I expected you to do a meterless SMP but confirming into 236B > stuff would've been nice. Again I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and chalk this up to lol netplay. 0:25 This is why I personally don't like comboing into the B shots because situations like this happen where they air tech forward and hit you. 236A clearly combo'd from the CH 5C so you could've used A shots since it does more damage. 0:26 That burst was too hasty in my opinion. 0:35 Not quite sure what you were trying to do as the red Naoto was clearly in a more advantageous position, could've been more patient. 0:41 Unfortunate wrong guess. 0:45 Short hop j.A > j.B > j.D > stuff; I'm stealing this and you should too. 0:54 At that point I would've taken note at how my opponent reacts to my approaches. In this case, the red Naoto upbacks (like most players lol) which can easily be airgrabbed if they're not looking for it. 1:00 IMO, 236B isn't really a good move to use on block. Your opponent can DP before the second hit lands. While still a bit unsafe, 236A would've been the better option. Also that shield was a free CH combo for you. 1:05 An unfortunate instance where the second hit of 236A didn't quite push the red Naoto into the trap for you to continue your pressure, thus allowing the red Naoto to mash out a shield in between the second hit and the trap. It happens. Also I'm not quite sure what you were trying to do after getting hit by the red Naoto's DP, that airdash j.C was unsafe and you could've mashed out DP as well. ROUND 2 I liked your patience at the start of the round. 1:26 You could've at least started pressure off of that cross under. 1:29 Combo could've been better, like the classic double IAD combo off of a trap or CH 2B starter, nets you at least 3.5k and that's damage you should not be walking away from. 1:35 Were you trying to upback in order to stay out of position of the red Naoto's j.C? You were also in a perfect situation where you could've 2B'd the j.C. 1:45 Unsafe pressure, it looked like you were auto piloting a bit. 1:48 I don't think that safejump attempt by that red Naoto was safe (lol) at all and yet you got hit by the j.C. And again, another questionable burst, especially since the combo wasn't going to be that damaging and you used it outside of Awakening ROUND 3 2:28 Remember that your opponents will not respect the tiny gaps you leave in your pressure all the time. 2:30 I'm guessing you got scared and mashed DP. 2:36 Naoto's corner oki may not be as dangerous as Narukami's or Chie's but it's not something you can just ignore, as situations like this can happen if you try to jump out as you wakeup.

I don't remember what super it was but my friend did tell me it was invul from the first frame. Guess this is just me not fully understanding the way safejumps work, Terumi's moves, etc. in general.

A few days ago, I just had a Terumi wakeup super me out of my mode change j.C Oki, isn't that a safejump? Anyway I'll just chalk this up to me performing the j.C late. Also what do I do about those who like to "roll late?" Should I delay my j.C a bit in order to catch them?

Is it wrong of me to think that the more I play and watch videos of this game, the more I feel that some of the mechanics that this game have is what P4U should've gotten in the first place like Stand Rush and the fact that you get different normals for both Stand Off and On, especially Stand Rush. The only characters that somewhat capture the "feel" of what I wanted P4U to be like was Narukami and Chie where they work in conjunction with their Personas in pressure. To an extent, this also includes Shadow Labrys as it feels like you're controlling two characters at times as well. That's just me though. Also if you're interested in watching high level videos of this game, typing in "Jojo" (In Katakana) and/or "ASB" in niconico will yield you some results, and there's still people uploading netplay videos as well! http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm22906393

Best game Also, looks like I'll be going to Kevin's place as well, anybody else going?

So I won't be the only person on Sunday who's willing to play Persona? And I guess I should actually grind some combos in BB too.

*pops in outta nowhere* Stacey's coming down to San Diego!?

Jyosua, Delta, thanks for another enjoyable Rebel Up! And it was also cool getting to see everybody again, especially meeting some of the Norcal people! Hope to see you all at SCR even though I don't really play haha.

Hidden marketing plan to get players to pay more money figuring stuff out mid-match or against the CPU instead of having the convenience of paying for a lengthy Training Mode session.

Funny, I'll be in the area to visit a few people tomorrow but I don't think I'll have time to swing by.

"The ultimate Samurai Shodown" That's all I wanted to hear.

Naw man, I have a better idea, let's do it on Xanga, maybe even MSN Messenger if that strikes your fancy.

Can't we just do it on Line? I think it's better, plus it's hella anime lol.

Finally got the chance to play a decent amount of matches this weekend and my god, this character's neutral seems almost nonexistent, kept getting outlined 90% of the time by panicking players, and yet I see players like SKD make her work. Man I wish I had his work ethic.

I haven't bought her yet, still waiting for Bobby to buy me a PSN card. And I hope your setups have the new Famitsu color palette, I need to rep my #23 Izayoi. Oh and are any of you guys going to OFC this Saturday?

If by the off chance that Eve is included as well, my interest in this game will rise even more.

If you're having trouble against someone like IZAYOI then you're doing something horribly wrong. Just kidding, however, shouldn't this be a question for this thread? http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?17896-CP-Jin-vs-Izayoi Anyway hopefully this thread will have what you're looking for: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?17977-CP-Izayoi-vs-Jin
