Anyone have any tips for playing as her?

I would really appreciate critique of my play here. Sorry if the video quality is terrible, all I have right now is a twenty dollar capcard. Second and third matches are against two different Naoto players, fourth is against a Chie, and the last match is my only win so far, against a Yu. I wanna play a zoning Yukiko, but either I'm playing it wrong or it wasn't something meant to be accoording to the devs.

This game's plot is like one gigantic carrot dangling on a stick to get people interested in Persona 5. So many drat cliffhangers and additional points that are not solved in the narrative but will be added onto, eventually. I can't complain though, because it's really enjoyable and gets my hopes up. I can't wait to see what they have in store.

Labrys's story mode: Labrys's "prayer" in Yakushima...Aigis's introduction in Persona 3...I just made the connection. Holy crap, I'm liking a story in a fighting game.

Well I found someone the game doesn't seem to mention anywhere, you can hold the Boot on Mitsuru's qcf qcf A/B super, and if you let go after they crumple, you get a bit more damage out of it. Conversely, if you let the boot charge all the way, it does something like 4000 damage but nobody would be dumb enough to fall for that. *ed* Also she can fake-sweep by holding down the buttons, moves forward but no attack.

I decided to try Arcade mode first, liked it and then did it for all of the characters just to see how I felt about all of them and get the trophy for it. I still haven't touched story mode. I feel like I'm doing something wrong My favorite to use so far is Yukiko and I think she's going to end up my main. Elizabeth is my second favorite to use so far. Also I think it's a mark of a good fighting game that a piece of poo poo fighter player like me who's never pulled off a finishing move ever in any other fighting game, is doing a bunch of them now. I felt so proud of myself the first time I did it out of training mode.

Story modes do take a while and there's a lot of text and cutscenes with few fights in-between, so if you're trying to get a feel for the characters, Arcade and Challenge would be your best bet.

I just cannot get the hang of Kanji's 5b 2b chain, I know it doesn't work on standing enemies, but the timing on the thing when it will work is so drat strict it's driving me crazy.

You have to chain it REALLY fast. You can do 5a 2b on crouchers as well and IMO it's an easier link.

I I'm kind of just using 5aa2b on crouchers, I'd prefer 5aa2a5b2b, it's a much easier confirm, but dammit that 5b2b chain has to be done so god damned fast. I am just loving the fatal counter combos and one more burst combos, feel so manly.

It would involve a lot of time and space warping to get it to happen, but you know who I'd love to see as DLC for this game? Raidou Kuzunoha the 14th! He's already a melee-oriented devil summoner guy known for falling through cracks in reality. Maybe not a Persona-user, but the next best thing. ...Okay I just want another Raidou game, but he could fit in here too!

Haha wow you were not kidding about there being a lot of text, I just booted up story mode to check it out and see what I could do before bed and had to turn it off because it's way too late for me to be reading what's basically a visual novel. I'm glad I did arcade first then because I had wanted to try the gameplay itself as soon as possible when I got the game. Also I kind of like that I basically have as much knowledge of the plot now as the arcade goers had before the console release. Makes it a little exciting finding out the full stories. Speedball posted:It would involve a lot of time and space warping to get it to happen, but you know who I'd love to see as DLC for this game? It's unlikely but humouring this... in lieu of a Persona they could perhaps pick just one of his demons (Raiho obviously ) to use. Have a tube animation whenever he uses the persona attacks, it wouldn't look too weird. The bigger problem I could see happening is making both the sword and gun work in combos and animating them in a way that it doesn't look weird that he's switching between gun and katana so fast (Also the dialogue between him and Naoto could be about their nice hats.) Aw well, at least we'll be getting him for sure in Soul Hackers even if he might not be likely for this game.

B, C, C c.C, QCB A (Freeze Up Slash Thing), SP QCF A, (Ex-Bigass Beam), and then reset. The BEST way to do this combo, IMO, would be to use mind charge in the middle and immediately reset with the 600k command grab hyper once they're paralyzed.

It wouldn't even be hard, just that there was a rumor in Sumaru about a hole in time or something and BOOM three Persona 2 characters, without having to worry about them being 13 years older or the world ending if they remember anything. Because really, why would you not want a rock star with a machine gun hidden in his guitar case, or someone who discovered her Persona by being blind stinking drunk? 404GoonNotFound fucked around with this message at 08:58 on Aug 9, 2012 |

I only had time to play three random ranked matches but it seems wonderful. We should make a persona meta tag or something so everyone can hook up, I guess I can do it when I get back from work if someone doesn't beat me to it.

PureRok posted:How do you fight Elizabeth as Akihiko? I couldn't close to someone playing as them; they kept hitting me with long range poo poo. Aki has to play a very patient game, but if you have 25sp and can stay within 2/3 of the screen, she can't use her purple laser anymore since qcf+AB can punish it. If you're closer, you can do gimmick poo poo like qcf+C/D -> b+C to get within her B attacks range and sway. Sway will actually dodge all of her B attacks so if something goes past you can react with a corkscrew. Also remember that you can pull her closer with D but again it's gimmicky so don't get predictable with it. Safest way in I guess is superjump and airdash. Overall Akihiko's game is going to be him guessing a lot until he gets in on his opponent, then it's their turn to guess a lot.

So hang on does the story really end with Yu going Investigation Team is back together! and not doing anything about the mysterious voice or anything that happened? I thought he's supposed to be the main character but the story just sort of stops.

If anyone is looking for one character to complete all the Challenges for so as to unlock the announcer for that condition, Shadow Labrys is by far the easiest choice. Even her Challenge 30 isn't so bad once you have the right plan.

From what I hear, the story is supposed to end with Yu and the team deciding to head to Port Island?

The Chairman posted:This is the first online fighting game I've ever played, and I'm getting absolutely wrecked in ranked matches. It's a fun pain, though. The WWE Brawl Stick is still on sale on Amazon for $30, down from $80. It's pretty entry-level but it's easily moddable and at that price you can't beat it. e: I believe it's the same layout and guts as the Madcatz SE sticks but I could be wrong.

I decided to go ahead and pick one up; I was a little wary because there were a lot of poor reviews on Amazon, but after multiple people recommended it to me, I figured it was just people expecting too much from a $30 joystick.

They expect you to pull off absurd 1-frame link BS that no normal-rear end player with a gamepad's going to be able to pull off with any kind of regularity.
