Persona 4 Arena Ultimax: Out in NA, It's Time You Burn That Dread

[LivewiresXe]

Been doing Yukiko's Challenge 30 for hours and I'm always short a couple hundred from the 10,000.

*mad*

Oh hell, I doubt I could get close to 10k unless I Fire Boosted to level 8, and did a 2.5k combo into her Triple Awakening Super combo which does like 7 something K on level 8.

 

[OBT]

GG's! Poltergust and I alternated off of every loss. He was the Kanji that you were playing. Hopefully more people will show up next time.

Do you want me to upload our games to YouTube?

Also, I'm going to have another lobby going on saturday night at around 10:30 PM EST. I get out of work at 10, so I should have enough time to set everything up.

 

[Gova]

I don't mind either way. It's up to you if you want to put them up.

 

[OBT]

I might as well, shouldn't let that 4.5 gigs go to waste

 

[LivewiresXe]

I wish people would stop kicking me from their rooms before they even play me. I can understand if you don't want to play on a bad connection, but set the room to block lower connections then, jeez.

I don't want to play ranked for the rest of my life. ;-;

Does Guadeo play ranked/network mode on the game too, Lythi? Maybe he's got some secret list of enemies/rivals on there, lol.

Or...maybe your rank is a lot higher than the others' in the room so they think they'll just get beaten that way? I dunno, I actually haven't played you in this game yet, but I know when it comes to Blazblue I seem to remember us having a decent-good connection speed.

 

[Lythium]

Yeah, he plays on our Japanese account though, haha.

I dunno, it's just annoying though. Wanna play?

 

[Rutger]

I don't want to play ranked for the rest of my life. ;-;

I want to say the same, but I need to get rid of this red name problem, assuming it isn't the bug.

The red name is useless in this game anyways, it doesn't show up in ranked matches unless you use the show search results option, you can't even check the P-card. Why does it even exist?


I'll play Lythium.

 

[Lythium]

Cool, I'll send you an invite. :3

 

[LivewiresXe]

Yeah, he plays on our Japanese account though, haha.

I dunno, it's just annoying though. Wanna play?

Sure. If you're on tonight I'll make a room/send an invite/whatever the case may be. Can't really right now though since whenever my car gets back here, I have to go into the city to see how my sister's cat's doing at the vets since it's been 3 nights there now.

Edit: Ah hell, I got until about 5 or 10 after, so I've got 25 minutes anyway. May as well hop on.

 

[Lythium]

Rutger, it said you got disconnected. :<

 

[Rutger]

Again?

Something is going on with my internet service provider right now, this is different from the normal problem.

I needed to post this from my phone. :/

 

[LivewiresXe]

Well, good games guys.

Urgh, I need WAY more Teddie practice. My only practice with him prior was ONE match in Arcade mode with Chie. Also, my biggest non-bat surprise was "Holy crap! Teddie's a GUY and NOT a robot?!!"

 

[Rutger]

I don't know what's going on. Oh well, I think I'll end it there.

GGs Lythium and Livewire.

 

[Lythium]

GGs, guys. That sucks, Rutger. I have to go get some lunch anyway.

I was gonna play some Labby, but I don't like mirror matches, haha.

 

[Rutger]

It was just my ISP acting up, so it was just some bad timing, our connection did seem fairly stable otherwise.


The Labrys mirror match we did play was kind of silly. I tend to like mirror matches though.

 

[Lythium]

Haha, definitely!

I just feel like I'm always pressing the wrong buttons in a mirror match, and I'm like WHY AM I SO DUMB, DURR? I did like your use of rocket punch though, stolen. :3

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

Lyth do you want to play me?

 

[Minato]

I'm basically stranded at home for today, so no WNF. Someone, play me on PSN.

 

[Teczer0]

Dammit Minato, why do you always play when I have work to do :<

That being said, I don't mind joining a lobby later if you make one or w/e. I just need to study for a bit.

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

I'll play you Minato

 

[Sion]

i'll be on psn in a bit

 

[Lythium]

Lyth do you want to play me?

Sorry I missed this, but I'm at work.

Next time though!

 

[Umby]

I could use a little help understanding Aigis, now that I have a few of her combos down.

In normal mode, I'm gathering that I want to using my zoning tools and knockdown to safely get into Orgia mode. My question here is "how should I zone?" All I'm aware of is that 2B exists.

In Orgia mode, I want to know if it's worth boosting full screen to start pressure or if I still want to spend a few bullet to create blockstun before approaching.

And finally, when should I look to use (j.)5D/2D?

 

[Zankoku]

If you're not already up close, you probably want to deactivate Orgia mode unless you're really confident about getting in.

5D and 2D are good for setting up a slow approach from full or near full-screen, or to protect you while you're zoning.

In orgia mode, I like to do a 2B before I rush in to set up a wall of bullets in front of me.

If anyone has plays on PSN, they can add me: RemiKz_

I'm not too great yet. I mostly play UMvC3 and Skullgirls so I'm not all too familiar with arc system fighters. There's definitely a lot more meters and stuff I gotta pay attention to. I mostly use Akihiko, Labrys, Chie and a little Aigis.

 

[Zankoku]

ggs, Jam Stunna. Surprised you were willing to play so many games, haha.

 

[Jam Stunna]

Yeah man, I'm trying to get in as many games as I can now, because I'll be without internet starting this weekend until mid-September. Good games, I'm glad we got a chance to play!

 

[Beanman]

I just picked up this game on tuesday and have been having a blast with it. Although I am definitly feeling the 360 "controller wall" in challenge mode when trying to pull off some of these combos. I use akihiko and am trying aigis. XBL: Beanman1000

 

[Minato]

Haven't posted in awhile. Guess I'll randomly post some anti-Chie stuff to help people out.

Chie's pressure is really good, and people will fall for her frame traps. 2B is JCable and dash cancelable. For Narukami, he can always punish the dash with 5A after blocking her 2B. So you'll need a movie as fast as that. If a Chie does 2B into j.C (which is a frame trap), you can just DP to bypass the j.C. She can't block it because it's air unblockable.

If the Chie frame traps you with dash 5A, it's really tough to get out, and lot's of good Chie's will do that. You can't backdash it, and only some B+Ds can beat it. I don't really have a solid answer to this one.

If Chie does sweep or A+B when you were being juggled and then okis, don't tech right away. Tomoe doesn't pick up opponents like Izanagi does. If you tech too late though, Chie will pick you up with 2A. So basically late tech to make her oki a little less scary.

 

[Sion]

you can beat dash 5a pressure with ib backstep or some other ib stuff

rolling seems to work well also

that's all i got

but good tips all around

i will keep this in mind when i fight one of the many chie players

 

[Lythium]

Might be worth noting that every move Chie has is jump cancellable except 2A, so she doesn't have to commit to anything ever.

 

[Minato]

Oh cool, Sion. I'm definitely going to try that against Chie. Pretty sure that she can't punish it.

 

[Zankoku]

As a zoner, I find it important that Chie's pretty weak at mid-full-screen until Awakening.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

I'm online right now, anyone wanna play?

PSN: ZeSin-Phoenix

Annnd, thank you Lythi. Oh, also I suppose I should get my main/sub thing changed to Yukiko/Chie.

By the way, who or what is Narukami? Is he that guy inside Teddie?

 

[Smooth Criminal]

>_>

Narukami is the surname of the Protagonist (Yu).

[Umby]

Teddie is Teddie. He's the one and only.

*sigh* This is why 1. I shouldn't ask questions after 5 hours of emptying out a sibling's apartment and 2. I should learn the source material first.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Meh, don't beat yourself up for it. We all need those kicks in the head every once in a while.

I've been taking a break from this game ever since I completed Yukiko's challenge, lol. My arms were hurting. I'll be back playing tomorrow, though.

 

[Rutger]

Done.

You should really play Persona 4. Play other Shin Megami Tensei games as well, they're good games.

Then you too can be eagerly awaiting SMTIV.
