It's slow...some people also have good anti-anti-airs, so even with the lower profile, you can get smacked. Well, at least it's unblockable in the air, it also can hit people behind him.

I'm not sure what you're asking here, are you talking about a reliable AA? If so, Kanji doesn't really have one. 2B is good, but it's slow. 5A can be sometimes used as AA, but that seems to be pretty situational. If you're talking about stuff to beat jump-outs...236CD is pretty good, and so is 236D. You can also just 5A if you think they're going to jump out of your string. Also, Tager's Collider was never really reliable on its own...

I would be interested, but what is the parking like? Parallel parking? I don't like parallel parking. Also, what system would the game be played on?

@AXIS: That's how I feel about his bad match-ups too. @SoWL: His D attacks can help with his approach, but if you're playing someone like Yukiko/Naoto/Elizabeth/Mitsuru/etc. they're not as effective. His aerial dives can help if your yomi is strong I guess, but you can't abuse them too much against people who know you can just duck them. How is he supposed to get in? Patience, good spacing, and yomi. They can only backdash so much...when you get in, you better make it count.

@Jyosua: I was curious about your claim, so I tested it, and yes, I did it 30+ times in a row. I always got 400 dmg unless I charged it, then I got 520. I have no idea on how you're hitting 800.

GGs 830. If you won't let me throw you, I'll just keep punching you in the face, lol. I'm from Woodbridge Roku.

Ok, thanks. Also, something I found while testing random stuff. 236A is punishable by at least Yu's 5A if the 2nd hit is IB'd. That isn't the case with 236B or AB though, so the latter must have greater frame advantage on block. Or maybe I'm just bad, dunno, but that's what my testing so far has shown.

I have a question on Kanji's neutral game: I notice in videos that frequently, if Kanji is at far distance, he'll use 2C (the hand sweeping move) at neutral. What exactly is the point of this? It obviously can't hit at that range, so is it being used as a feint to get the opponent to do something and then you punish accordingly? Thanks for any insight anyone is able to provide!

Hey AXIS, the damage I'm getting for some of the combos isn't correlating with the damage the wiki provided. Just a heads up for people. Some of these don't seem to combo either, but I'm just chalking that up to me being bad.

Kanji is a cool character.

Hey Axis, I noticed a slight error in the combo you listed: 5AA-2A-5B-2B-236B-OMC-2C blah blah should be 5AA-2A-5B-2B-236B~214B-OMC-blah blah. I'll also fill in some missing info (all combos tested on Yosuke...if that makes any difference): 5AA-2A-5B-2B-236C-236A (2292, 21SP) 5AA>2A>5B>2B>236C+D>j.B>2B>236C>236A/B *cost 25 SP* (2884) 5AA>2A>5B>2B>236B~214B>OMC 2C>2B>236C>236A/B *cost 50 SP* (3279) 5AA>2A>5B>2B>236B~J.214B>236A/B (2296) 5AA>2A>2A+B>OMB>5C>236C+D>j.B>2B>236C *cost 1 burst and 25 SP, can omit 5C after the OMB* (2648/3077) CH 2A>5AAA>5A(Cruel attack)>5A(Ass whoopin', Tatsumi Style) (2005) CH 2A>5AA>2A>2A+B>236A/B (1315) CH 2A>2B>236C>236A/B (1823) j.A>j.B>j.214B>236A/B (1957) J.B>J.214B>OMC 2C>2B>236C>236A/B *cost 50 SP* (3227) J.B>J.214B>236236A/B>OMC second hit 214214C *cost 150 SP* (4321) CH j.B>5AA>j.A>j.B>j.214B>OMC 2C>2B>236C>236A/B *cost 50 SP* (3467) CH J.B>5AA>J.A>j.B>j.214B>236236A/B>OMC (2nd hit) 214214C *cost 150 SP* (4794) 5C>236C+D>j.B>2B>236C>236A/B *cost 25 SP* (3388) FC 5C>236B>5AA>j.A>j.B>dj.A>j.B>j.214B>236A/B (4114) 2C>2B>236C+D>j.B>2B>236C>236A/B (3757) FC 2C>214214C *cost 50 SP* (5294) FC J.C>5C>236C+D>j.B>2B>236B>5AA>236C>236A/B *cost 25 SP* (4355) J.214A/B>236236A/B OMC 2nd hit 214214C *cost 150 SP* (5112) 214C/D>236A/B (2674/2974) EDIT: I didn't realize I stopped keeping track of SP build until I was at the end...lol, oh well.

Nice, thanks for the heads up. I was getting kind of mad at not having a hitbox, lol.

I don't know if this is in the Japanese version, but I've noticed a bizarre bug in the US PS3 version for Yukiko. While attempting to do Challenge #18, the super doesn't "vortex", and thus it didn't count. I was confused about this, since I was pretty sure I was timing it right (even after watching the demonstration), and after some testing, I can't get it to vortex under any circumstance. In fact, the first part of the 236236C super doesn't even seem to have a hitbox at all for me, it just whiffs through the opponent entirely. Clearly, there is supposed to be a hitbox, so, can someone enlighten me as to either what I'm doing wrong or if this is happening to them too?

I may be interested in that St1ckbug. lol, nvm, Kurushii has clarified what I was doing wrong. Game should be telling me that... EDIT 3: Ugh, why does Chie have awful colors.

When in doubt, jump out the window and follow the steak. It will lead you to Persona.

What are you talking about? I bought this game for the story mode.

I got it too. If you guys are going to go, call them to make sure they have it. They didn't have a lot of copies left for PS3 when I was there.

lol, nah, I was just saying that for the guys who may not be used to walking around a city.

Ugh, Cash 4 Games is going to sell it early? Now I may have to go there... For those that were curious, Broad St. is within walking distance of their train station (about half a mile). Broad St. should be still be ok to go to during the day because of the heavy police presence, as long as you aren't a retard. I may have to hit that up once Roku confirms that they will have it and sell it. Cash for Games also doesn't charge extra for selling early and there's less sales tax in Newark compared to other areas (3.5%).

Hm, it's looking more and more like Newark is our only option unless you're willing to go into NY.

199A Smith Street, Perth Amboy, NJ 08861 732.324.0242 Name of the store is Game Champ. I heard that around the Black Ops era though, they stopped releasing games early, maybe just for CoD, or maybe they just changed back, dunno. I'm actually closer to there than anyone here, but right now, I don't have my car. Someone call them and pick me up a copy please. Also Casshern, there's actually multiple stores in Newark (on that same street) that release early, but Cash 4 games is the most famous. Cash 4 Games didn't release Black Ops that early though, and I don't know what they did with MW 3, since they were getting more heat. There should be multiple stores in NYC that have the game today too, but lol, I'm not spending $20-30 just to get into the city, and then pay inflated prices to get the game early.

Yo, so what places are you guys aware of that may release the game early in Jersey? I know a place in Newark and Perth Amboy, assuming they are still in business, but I prefer not to travel to Newark, lol.

As the Queen of England, I forgive and pardon you of your crimes.

I will be there on the 31st, but who cares about that, the real action is in the FL thread...

lol, Florida, wtf is wrong with this state. All this drama and bitching, it's like a fucking day time soap opera. Higeking, you are completely missing the point Circuitous is trying to establish. He's saying that you've oversimplifying the situation and emphasizing aspects that aren't as important, which by doing this, you're establishing a slippery slope that has no positive outcome. If those "scrubs" are beating you purely through loops and nothing else, the problem lies somewhere else...
