Ayyyyy shoutouts time. Shoutouts to: Jourdal for being just cool to hang around w/. I told you I'd get you a soda. :X Mynus, nice to have met you! Wish we could have hung out more, would liked to have discussed Naoto stuff w/ you. Me for causing a huge fuckup (still hella sorry Mad Scientist ) Axis for letting me know how huge of a fuckup I caused, but besides that also to just you being one the funniest guys ever. Kurushii for finally meeting my fellow #midnightmidnite-r, thanks for all of your work on the stream and in general! Glad you liked your drink. Canada for keeping shit hype till the very end. Good shit w/ games every night (w/ Sunday night being stupid-packed holy shit) and hearing/seeing the gdlk doujin talk stuff w/ Brandino (glad to meet you finally) lol. St1ckbug for all the stupid amounts of hard work you put into this event, thank you so much! Souji, Kirisame, and Dora for taking all of the money, doubt they'll read this but thanks for the games! Xie for helping run stuff! Mashthat5A and Qwerty for being cool roommates even though we never met IRL before. It was cool to meet and get to know both of you! Naochii/Diarmuid for being a piece of shit scumbag roomate, ditching at the last second after agreeing to my terms and me saving you a spot. Then when I confronted you about it you fed me nothing but bullshit and lies. Please, eat a bowl of dicks. Circuitous for SLIDEHEADU!!!!! Amadeous for getting trolled about not being the Jam mod. :3 Dacidbro for being cool IRL and meeting my fellow ex-GameFaqs-er (which you're still the king of, BTW). SKD for being funny, wish I had gotten in games w/ you. >_< ShinSyn for just hanging out, though you'll have to explain to me sometime why exactly you hate the Naoto matchup. Pfhor for witnessing w/ me Trifoce getting bodied by the small picture frame in the elevator wwwwww DC for getting salty that I forgot to mention you on my Twitter shoutouts. <3 Everyone else I met and talked to that made this event so good and undoubtedly worth every penny I spent on travelling to Philly. GGs and I'd better see you all again next year! EDIT: also shoutouts to Bill_Nye_Tho's great return during the weekend, best weekend ever? Probably.

So this event was gdlk, if you play anime games and missed this you fucked up. Huge thanks to St1ckbug for all his work and Kurushii for running the stream, will post more shoutouts in the results thread when its up, too lazy/tired right now.

Wait, really? If true, wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Hey, if anyone needs a spot in a hotel room (at the venue), send me a PM.

EDIT: question answered. :X

Thanks to Bond for linking the original Nico video on this: 5C CH > 2[C], 5B > 5C > sj IAD j.A > j.B > j.C |> dash 2A > 5AA > 2B > SMPx6 ~ Cx5 (5349 damage)

Derp, I misunderstood your previous post. Still, unless someone else wants to do it I'll get the data in the character page done tonight. EDIT: All but SP skills and Judge of Hell are done, will finish up after some sleep. >_<

Did Naoto's non-Persona normals on her frame data page, if there are any errors please let me know. Unless someone else wants to do it I'll take care of the rest of her frame data tonight after classes. And I just realized we still don't have her SP gain for her moves. At least that shouldn't take too long to collect/update on the Wiki.

No post this on DL yet? Oh well, copy pasted from here. They say they don't expect big #s for P4, let's show them otherwise. If the quote's missing any links let me know.

If anyone's interested there's been a Naoto Skype chat for a while now that has had some fairly decent discussion. I'm not sure if it deserves it's own topic but post your Skype name here or PM it to me and I'll add you to it.

If you're having trouble figuring out what went wrong in a match and have video footage of it, post here for help.

Something I realized: if practicing SMP combos don't use Yu as your training dummy. For some pre-SMP combos his hurtbox is the most lenient with timing. Chie's the opposite, her hurtbox is the most strict to the point where I'm considering being lazy and using easier pre-SMP combos to deal with it. Just something to keep in mind.

@Kyle: the information for that has been on the data thread since forever, and has also been on the Wiki for a while now. >_> But yeah, Ichipoo and Outlaw basically covered it. And just FYI, winning a round w/ IK fills the Fate meter back up to the full 13.

Ha, school seems to be killing all of us. Anyways, I did the Fate update a while ago, and just added in alternate colors, and since the data thread's obsolete I moved it to the archives.

Special thanks to Dan Maldonado of NDP! GROUND RULES : -NDP has been a fantastic venue, great service, great food and great atmosphere. Make sure you guys continue taking great care of them! Venue: Next Door Pizza Location: 3385 SW Fascination Drive, Lees Summit, MO 64081 Date: Saturday, September 22nd Start Time: Doors will open for games at 12 PM Registration Will begin at 1 PM THIS IS TENTATIVE, COULD BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. STAY POSTED. Venue Fee: $5 Price per game: $10/$5 HYPE MATCHES! NEW THIS MONTH! Tekken Tag Tournament 2 $10 FEATURING Super Street Fighter IV AE2012 (PS3) $10 Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 (PS3) $10 King of Fighters XIII (PS3) $5 Persona 4 : Arena (PS3) $5 TIME AND INTEREST PERMITTING, WE WILL DO A TEAMS TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE Casuals and Registration start at 12 PM Tournaments begin no later than 1 PM TENTATIVE TIME SCHEDULE, COULD BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE RULES: All tournaments will be 2/3 Rounds, 2/3 Matches, Double elimination unless listed otherwise. TTT2 will be 3/5 rounds, 2/3 Matches. Marvel will be 3/5 matches. Top 3 in each tournament will switch to 2/3 rounds, 3/5 matches. Marvel/TTT will be 3/5 rounds 3/5 matches. If you wish to change controls, do so prior to the match during a button check. If you begin the match with the wrong controls, that is too bad. If you pause the match or attempt to restart because your controls were messed up, you forfeit your match. If you wish to use multi button binds for other games, it will have to be at the affirmation of your opponent. Default button binds are exempt from this rule Winner keeps same character, loser may select a new one All games will be played on random stage select Blind character selection may be requested if a counter pick is a concern. In this case, one of the staff may be called upon to get the selection of both characters from the competitors. If you are called for a match, you will have 5 minutes (which is VERY lenient) to get to your station and play. If you fail to get to your station, you will forfeit the match. This is not true in the case of someone playing in another game if they are called to play. This is the only exemption. Making your opponents wait is rude, and it also holds up the progress of our bracket. Be courteous. If you are in a tournament that is on going, then stick around. If you need to go smoke, do it fast, and continue your conversations back in the tournament room. Regarding PS3 pads Do not turn your pad ON until you have synced it to a system using a USB cord. PLEASE turn OFF your pad following the end of your match. This has been an issue in the past, and this negligence isn't going to be tolerated. It's disruptive to the people who come to play after you. Failure to turn off your pad will result in an automatic disqualification which will count as a loss in your tournament record. A second offense will result in your forfeit from the tournament. Bring your OWN EQUIPMENT In many cases, I see people needing to wait around because either they left their stick/pad at home, or they lent it out to someone else. This is UNACCEPTABLE. If you are going to a tournament, then you should at LEAST have your own equipment. If I have to wait on someone because they lent out their equipment, I will be very unhappy. I'll bring extra pads, and an extra stick of my own for this at this tournament, but PLEASE bring your own equipment so we can keep things running smoothly. If you CAN, please bring SETUPS This is more of a request, but depending on what you bring, and what we use, you will be given a discount. - A setup (PS3 with Monitor) means you pay nothing. - No PS3 or Monitor/TV and you pay the full $5. If people can bring setups (PS3's, games, MONITORS) then PLEASE do. We were ridiculously short handed on equipment last time, and this makes it nearly impossible to run these tournaments smoothly. I'd like to be able to do a variety of games, and not have to kick people off casual stations, but in order to do this, we NEED to have as many setups as we can. I understand the inconvenience of unplugging and hauling Playstations and monitors, but it would help our tournament run more smoothly, and quickly, an allow everyone to play the games that they want to play. The venue is a bar and restaurant, so thankfully we have food and booze at our MAXOUT venue again! This place is awesome, so please buy lots of the delicious pizza and take care of your bar staff. See everybody there. Copy-pasted from here

After dropping it constantly in a set against a Chie but not dropping it against other characters, I tested the trap IAD combo (214D hits>5C>IAD j.A>j.C>5C>236B>dash 5C>IAD j.A>j.C>5C>236A) against every character and made a difficulty list. The "difficulty" being mostly from connecting dash 5C. Medium: Yu, Labrys, Kanji Hard: Chie Easy: the rest I found it weird that Slab is easy whereas Labrys is medium, double checked both and got the same result again though. Mitsuru seemed to be the hardest of the easiest difficulty, but not quite medium imo. Anyone have any different thoughts/experiences w/ the different characters?

Need to practice up, but GG should be fun regardless of how hard I'll get bodied. And in there for P4U of course.

I'm just paying a visit to say: Gordeau looks hype. :X Definitely going to import this when it gets a console release.

Shoutouts: @AnimeFreak: Always good to see you, so much for not making it to P4 Top 8, huh? @Giovanni: GGs, looking forward to your runback next time we cross paths. @Kurumster: GGs, I really wanted that runback against your Aigis, unfortunately my ride didn't want to wait. >_< Next time we meet, I won't be going in cold turkey on that matchup.

I thought MaxX would've made this by now, but since he didn't. . . Full results and pools here. P4A Top 8 (42 Entrants; $200 Pot Bonus Split 33/33/33) 1: Ranmasama ($294 + $67 Bonus = $361) 2: Kurumster ($84 + $67 Bonus = $151) 3: EG Justin Wong ($42 + $66 Bonus = $108) 4: ludwig van 5: Shinblade 5: Fox 7: Poshib 7: Animefreak BlazBlue: CSX (11 Entrants) 1: Ted Buster ($77.00) 2: Animefreak ($22.00) 3: Bloodwolf ($11.00) 4: EG Justin Wong 5: Ant (phil) 5: Roks 7: Shrike 7: Solidblake 9: Atomshx 9: marsden 9: Haruhi-ism

Saving my $$$ for this, sorry Season's Beatings. Will hopefully be bringing others from KC w/ me, HYPE.

Yeah, I really think silence is underused. Not only can they not burst, but it really makes it hard for our opponents in certain matchups, like Yukiko, Liz, Naoto mirrors, and even Chie when she's in Awakening (no meteors). And speaking of tourneys and Naoto mirrors, GGs to the Naoto I mirror matched @ ARK.

^Ask and ye shall receive. Added some more non-SMPs, w/ more on the way. If there's a specific combo missing from the OP that anyone feels should be added, let me know. Otherwise over the course of this week I'll be going over every combo that's been posted in this thread and adding it to the OP if it seems useful/practical.

An asshole.
