[P4AU] Loketest #2 Info sharing/News/Video thread

ShardZ replied to Omex's topic in P4:Arena Gameplay

Hey guys, I'm a Mitsuru player from the Detroit area who's currently studying abroad in the Kansai region. I had the pleasure of playing.. probably 25~30 matches of P4PEOPLE'SELBOW at the Taito Station loctest in Osaka, so here's what I got out of it: GENERAL Game feels very similar to P4U, actually played a few matches then went back to P4DOUBLEGERMAN and didn't have any issues adjusting to either. B+D feint from last loctest taken out? Situational FCH is definitely a thing, not sure how it works exactly but I saw a non-FCH move get a fatal from punishing Chie's B+D. MITSURU 5A - Seems the same, CH 5A > sweep still combos etc. 5B - Also seems the same. Didn't know to check for the dash cancel FFFFFFFF 5C - Only change I noticed was the dash cancel. Both forward & backdash seem to work for every 3 hits, but sometimes neither would come out and I'm not sure why. 5D - Seemed similar to before, but I think the opponent's trajectory after getting hit by 5DD was a bit different. 2A - Didn't notice a difference but I didn't test much. 2B - Didn't notice a difference, would've liked to test it more to see how it feels in an actual match. 2C - Seemed the same, didn't check the total meter drain amount. Still 4 meter/tick and Mitsuru still gets meter when the opponent has 0, super meters flash every tick to indicate the drain. 2D - 2D first hit only works different, instead of dropping straight down the opp arcs backwards so it doesn't seem viable for combos, including corner 2ABD not working 'cause the opponent can tech earlier/higher. 2DD whips the opponent towards Mitsuru and ground slides, great for comboing if they land in front of her but if they fly over her it seems hard to follow up without a corner to keep them close. At certain spacings the 2nd hit of 2DD would whiff, definitely seemed touchier than P4U. j.A - Same. j.B - Same, although I didn't confirm if j.B RC j.B land 5A still works on crouching opponents. The couple times I tried it it didn't combo, but I might've just screwed it up due to rust. j.C - Same? Wishing I tested CH j.C more. j.D - Seemed the same, still can do j.DD > 2DD for a combo. Autocombo - Shadow Mitsuru autocombo seemed the same as P4U, but I spent way more time with normal Mitsuru's new autocombo. I got the impression the new autocombo is considerably stronger and more useful than the old. 5AAAAA = same old 5A, a lowish slash (IIRC old loctest notes said 2nd hit was too low to juggle, not true anymore), lunges forward with several quick stabs, A Droit, A Myriad Arrows. 2nd and 3rd attacks have lots of cancel options (unlike old autocombo 4th & 5th attacks IIRC), builds 30ish meter, 3rd hit LUNGES FORWARD. GUYS. IT LUNGES FORWARD. AND THERE'S TONS OF CANCEL OPTIONS. 5AAA 6, 5AAA 5C, etc. u gaiz. AoA - Still has the same hilariously obvious and slow startup so I didn't test it much. Sweep - Pretty sure this is no longer FCH, otherwise still seems just as strong as before. Wish I could've specifically tested to make sure it low profiles the same way it used to, though. Throws - Ground throw seems the same, couldn't confirm if CH airthrow still leads to a combo. B+D - Same, not sure if it was easier to punish but otherwise I noticed no changes. [4]6+A/B - A & SB drills seem the same as before. Meaty A drill > 5A on crouching opp still combos. As mentioned before, B drill > 2A only combos after a FCH. Charged B drill seems to always go max distance, uncharged the same flexibility as before. [2]8+C/D - C Bufula similar to before, might move faster/further? D ver, as mentioned, appears further out and moves towards Mitsuru, only hits once. SB ver maybe the same? Saw a Kanji get juggled for all 5 hits on top of it so maybe it moves faster now. [4]6+C/D - The new move, ice sorta-reppuken that travels along the ground. Doesn't seem to hit off the ground at all and has somewhat laggy startup & recovery, but it causes confuse and I'm 99% sure it hits low. C ver goes about 2/3 or 3/4 of the screen length, D goes a bit further, and SB full screen. Round start 5A > C ver is awesomely obnoxious. 236236A/B - Seems pretty much the same. SB ver does 50 hits. 236236C/D - Maybe the same, not sure if they're still air blockable. SB ver is slower than D ver, since it's so huge if it's air UB there'll be lots of potential for silly air resets. 214214C/D - Same? Didn't use much or see other Mitsurus really experiment with it. Shadow Overdrive - Based on the little bit of experimentation I did I'm thinking we'll see some challenge 30-esque SB droit combos. Combostuffs: 5 2A+B [4]6A+B 2AB [2]8C 5 2A+B [4]6B 236236D - easily 4k+ dmg, again must use SB droit instead of B ver and 2ABD in place of 2AB [2]8C no longer works 2DD 5 2B 2DD > ??? (2.4k) Not sure how to combo off 5C air hit dash cancel, maybe off CH? 5AAA 6B 5[C] [4]6A 236236x still works Midscreen FCH 52C 5 2B 2DD, not sure of optimal route from there Addressing some specific points from Omex's translations ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P3-fyaHUzfgguGgELgt-Cw0QapJ2ZhvZZV8o2kL0BUg/ as of 9/30 2am JST) "* rumor: cannot hold 4 to make b droit travel less distance, cannot control the distance as well cannot cancel [5B] into anything but droit? * Mitsu can cancel 5B into Forward dash" Addressed the confusion over B droit travel distance in the move notes above. You can also definitely still cancel it into stuff like 5C, sweep, or 2C. Wish I remembered to check for the dash cancel q.q. "* 5C > Dash cancel forward on air hit = combo possible * 5C is dash cancelable every third hit, only backdash cancelable on 6th" Combo howwwwwww? Somewhat addressed the dash cancelling above, but hopefully a JP player figured out why it doesn't come out sometimes. "* B droit > 2a works on fatal (apparently)" Yep. "* Tentarafoo looks hellastrong(™).With this, mitsu could look to catch jumps way more often.Dial A > Tentarafoo comboed" Buh? Tentarafoo = [4]6C/D, right? Hard to catch jumps 'cause it's slow and seems to only hit along the ground, all vers have a long startup so regardless of the autocombo hit you cancel it doesn't seem anywhere close to comboing. May edit later if I remember more, super tired ATM. Thanks for reading!
