You know I was wondering something I get mad at this game a lot, and I mean a lot. But everytime I get mad and get off the game for the night or something, sometimes even going as far as RQing, I realize I need to put more effort into the depth of the game. However, everytime I think of doing this, I think "what's the point". I feel there's 2 things that will happen at this point. 1. I get to work and start getting pretty decent, the game dies 2. I get to work and start getting pretty decent, 2.0 comes out and I have to learn almost an entirely different game. Like, what's the point? Do I just move to BB until 2.0 or what?

Good thread. I feel I can relate to a lot of things here. As some people may know, I live in Iowa. It's competitive hell. There are no locals. Your best bet at a local is AnimeIowa, and it's FREE. It's once a year and it's free, that's the problem, no one plays fighting games in this state. This is a glaring problem with Persona. I get one tourney a year and it's at some convention where the majority of the people don't even play fighting games. In fact, this year, they had vanilla Arena, still. No one gives a shit. I've never been there, but as someone from Iowa. I can tell you exactly what the tourney would be like. Yes, my first competitive fighter was Persona. I went serious when Ultimax came out and I got the platinum. I've been playing the game for a year now. I can most certainly notice how much I've improved, crazily improved. Compared to where I was last year. But in the big picture, I didn't get anywhere. Especially being the way I am, I get mad, and it's just a sinkhole after that. I get mad and I get mad and I keep saying how things are "bullshit" or complain about a character that isn't even a bad matchup for my character. My complaints aren't always wrong, but I did it more than I should. I get super salty. I could of course, control this in a local setting, I'm just more likely to rage when no one is around. But, the problem being, what locals? It's Persona, it's Iowa. I have three friends I know that play Persona. One is in Iowa City now, away from where I live. The other is my cousin, who has no interest in getting better. Third, being my other friend who doesn't even have his PS3 right now, or for awhile. He's a huge Persona fan but he kinda just picks Minazuki I wail on him with random characters. I only ever feel I can only get so far because I'm stuck in the netplay vortex. Poor vortex too. I can't travel too far and although I kind of wanted to get a local scene started myself the only fighting game people play around here is Smash and that is not anywhere what I'm interested in. Hell, doing an event at the library for the public is free, they have a room in the back for you to use. But I almost don't want to waste my time. All that will happen is I put on a tournament that I won't even end up being in myself and a bunch of noobies wail on each other for a shitty prize. Boring. Really, I was doomed when I chose to start with Ultimax. No 2.0, and maybe not even a sequel. I'm already making my switch to BB as a backup game/switch to main game if Persona really enters the dark hour but the clock shatters for good. Also, since I'm from Iowa, and from one of the smallest towns in Iowa, my internet isn't even the greatest. I'm narrowed to like the same 20 people on netplay, not so good for my play, eh? Add to the fact that I feel almost doomed to remain mediocre at anything I pick up, it's awful. I'll fall for the same run-up-to-me-on-my-wake-up-and-throw-me-on-netplay-over-and-over-because-I'm-shit-at-adapting shtick. People will AoA me all day, not even mixing it up. At the end of the day I don't know what to blame. Me? Netplay? What do I know, I haven't touched a real local.

So uh what the hell happen with the combos and why is it like this Also how come no 6B FC starters

I actually did figure it out, and yes I was talking about Bufudyne lol So far I've been able to get 2B, throw and 5A starter down

I noticed in combo thread there was almost no shadow information, for the route anyway. I can do the basic shadow combo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heGGx43-x7M first combo in this video) but I keep my training dummy will break the ice before I can finish. I feel maybe my ice timing is off but I want to be sure on route regardless. I can't tell difference between C/D Bufudyne off a video and I feel it's B Myraid Arrows for first one I want to be sure

Yeah that fixed it, thanks

I didn't know where else I should put this, so I came here I was able to get on the forums fine before, but I tried to make a post or something and I started getting this error https://gyazo.com/4231442af5ea9baced36556647603d48 I am posting from firefox

Aussie players are already rare as fuck and so are actual players on XBL, you'd have better luck on PSN.

Having problems with 236B~66 Luckily I got a capture card https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIISsLcJbUc&feature=youtu.be

Yep, 4 courses. I did it with Adachi for lols (even if you don't get a Navi) but I did do it with Yosuke. You just gotta find something that works and use it

My controller is literally broken I can still use it for KH2.5 or something like that, but the left d-pad is fucked

Ha. I won't be able to even show up for awhile. It's a 4 hour trip and I can't even drive yet.

This is the closest place to Iowa, do you guys do P4U2?

Sorry guys, my internet is gonna be shut off for a while come Thrusday, looks like I'm sitting this one out.

Well I saw Hitmarker in a lobby and asked him about tomorrow, and he'll have to go out. Looks like you're in charge again Bloo

What time is this? I have to go get a TV around the afternoon, Central Time.

I'd be up for Saturday, despite only ever beating you once Hitmarkers lol. If I get my "new" TV tonight I can maybe start on using my capture card.

Yeah, I didn't know people actually used that section since I had tried to check out the Minazuki matchup thread one time and no-one had posted

I have an absolutely awful time fighting Kanji at all, I play Adachi by the way, any help?

Monday would be the best for me. I'm staying up all night that night for the Persona Q release

It's only 4 hours from here, I'm sure it'll be worth it if I want anything but netplay

So where in Illinois do these take place these days? I might come up someday if it's close enough, I live in Iowa right across the bridge from it.

says its offline

Will it be starting at the normal time?

I chose not to go out of town for this :/
