Didnt watch EVO this year, but there was a side tournament for P4A, right? Any Chie players/videos to look for?

Just go for Ragna, he is your generic swordfighter. No gimmicks, no complex mechanism, straight forward and easy to learn combos.

Haha, it's 9AM where I am and I gotta work till 5PM :D I guess you wont be able to be online THAT long :D

How I wish I was from your timezone, too :/ Anybody from Europe in here?

Hey guys, I will add all of you when I get home I am rather new to fighters aswell. Bought BBCP on release day but never rly played it. Now I am 2 weeks into P4A, but this game lacks newer players. Still gotta decide on a main for BB, though :D

I didnt notice him being a Chie player, in which case you are right. But in general, I would say: You can't learn much from a player that is far better than you. This is because he will just kill you with his super long combos and the only thing you can do is watch. A newer player on the other hand needs more combos to finish you off and therefore there is much more neutral play. Apart from that: Losing 30 matches in a row is not fun, as it is not rewarding. That being said: Dive, wanna teach me a thing or two about Chie?

Hey, right now I am only searching for beginners. Started playing ~weeks ago and am still F- :D

Okay, so what does it mean when it says "AA" in front of a combo? Checked the Notation-thread in the beginners subforum, but there was nothing about "AA". Also: There are so many combos in here. Which one would you recommend to learn first (midscreen, not counterhit-only, dmg focus)?

Man, thats what I openend this thread for :D

Thanks, I will look into this guide! I do have two PSN accounts (one for Europe and one for NA), so I don't care if it hits Europe at all :P And about the muscle memory: It still takes some time until it's out and I don't want to waive one of her most useful tools :D Another question: Are her challenges worth a look? Usually these contain unpractical or simply bad combos .:D edit: Oh and I tried the "thick throw" thing in training mode, without success. For some reason I always whiff the throw. What's the secret behind this? When EXACTLY do I have to input the throw command?

Well, then you are definetely not the kind of beginner that suits my needs (but maybe someone elses :D). I am still struggling with basic execution, so I guess it would be boring for you :D

Thanks a lot! I will try the air-turn thing, when I get home

Hey, I started a thread dedicated to searching sparring partners. Make sure to post there aswell!

Hey, so this thread kind of evolved into a place where less skilled people (like me) look for sparring partners. Apparently there are plenty of people who have abandoned P4A some time ago (or have never played it) and want to get in shape for P4U. This thread has an apropriate title and is posted in the regarding subforum, so I guess it could draw even more rookies in, who look for somebody to improve with together. So: If you are searching for some fun matches with people who are as unexperienced as you are, then go ahead and post your online ID here edit: Totally forgot to post mine, haha :D I am on PSN only: Okidoki_Sir edit2: I guess posting your main would be a good idea aswell, so that people can contact you if they are looking for specific matchups. Mine is Chie, obviously :D

Hey, I know this answer is a few weeks old, but I do have the problem, you just mentioned. Could you tell me how you achieved consistent 9-jumps? My stick features a hayabusa stick lever, if this information helps :D
