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

[sakuraZaKi]

You and your j.Bs, Jam. Too good.

 

[LivewiresXe]

People talking about Teddie? Oh crap, I forgot about him...

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Mam, I haven't played in a while. Gotta shake the rust off.

 

[Lythium]

With my DP, I try not to do it often. Honestly IBing into a quick move is the safest way for me.
He recovers too fast and has safe jump set ups so I'll only DP if he does that special where he passes through you and hits you on the other side.

I try not to DP too often, if ever. I just use it occasionally to remind people to respect it, which doesn't always work, haha. The problem with IB vs. Akihiko is that my fastest move is 7f, so even if I IB, I usually get tagged with 5A/2A. The only thing that I can really IB is Kill Rush, and then punish the follow-up. And most smart Aki players know this. ;-;

Anyway, I'm not really trying to complain about it. It's just a weird match-up that requires me to play super patiently and not go for oki or press my advantage on knockdown, because it's not safe. It's like I want the momentum, because that's the kind of character I play, but I can't have it, so I have to chip away at him in green axe for most of it.

 

[Minato]

Anyone want to play today? Not going to this week's tourney but I thought maybe I can at least get some practice for next week.

 

[Umby]

I'm up for it a bit later.

 

[Jam Stunna]

I won't be home tonight or tomorrow, but I'm planning on hosting a lobby Saturday night.

 

[Minato]

Room is up btw. Just 3 people in so far.

 

[Umby]

ggs guys. Sorry I cut out so short. I'm a bit frustrated for once this evening. Maybe I'll come back in later if you guys are still at it.

 

[Teczer0]

Literally

Went

0-48 vs minato

LOL

Good stuff minato that was a lot of fun.

 

[Crusayer]

Welcome to the party of Minato's sandbags.

 

[Teczer0]

I was a part of Sion's sandbags for so long.

I guess I needed to switch eventually

slkdfjsaklfj

I wanna lab but. 50 games is kinda tiring especially when I'm mentally thinking so much to learn.

 

[Minato]

You guys rate me too highly. D:

 

[Jam Stunna]

Yeah, **** minato, that ***** ain't ****

MAD HATE

 

[Crusayer]

You misspelled godlike

 

[Teczer0]

You guys rate me too highly. D:

I won 3 or 4 rounds out of 104.

:<

Man, but I had a bad day until I played. Really, thanks for the games Mina chiiiiiii~

 

[Crusayer]

You have a better record than me. \o/.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

I don't even have a record, lol. It's all losses.

 

[Zankoku]

Minato doesn't feel invincible, but he's definitely the best active regular on Smashboards, as far as I can tell.

 

[Teczer0]

I never felt minato was unbeatable.

I felt more that I was just lacking experience lol

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Minato doesn't feel invincible, but he's definitely the best active regular on Smashboards, as far as I can tell.

>_>

<_<

I beat Minato's Sean in 3s. lol

(It was a fluke.)

[Sephiroths Masamune]

Minato has a good way of making you realize what you need to work on.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Minato has a good way of making you realize what you need to work on.

Yeah, but it's when you realize it's "everything" that it somehow gets like "whoa".

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Hey, no one is perfect, so pretty much everyone here has to work on everything, even Minato and aisight (since you guys usually start OMG'ing yourself over them, lol).

It's not like he wins tournaments, but he is good and manages well, though. Practice, practice, practice.

I might play today. I haven't learned anything new since last time, so I might not want to room with you guys. Probably just focus on other things.

 

[Zankoku]

No worries, I won't be getting too much opportunity to practice all weekend since I'm gonna be covering Kings of Cali.

Hoping to see Minato in person next weekend, though.

 

[Crusayer]

Aisight and Minato get the monster practice cuz they live in Cali ]:

 

[Zankoku]

Actually, I'm in Nevada. There's a grand total of ten P4A players here, and only four of them are good.

 

[Sion]

anime in general is pretty dead around wc canada

crusayer knows

 

[Lythium]

The only place that anime isn't dead in Canada is Montreal.

That's kind of it. :<

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Actually, I live pretty close to Minato, but I won't go to the ATLUS event because I have a midterm the following Monday.

Sucks. Would've been nice to see you, aisight/Zankoku/Ankoku >:[

 

[Sion]

i just live on the wrong side of canada, lythium.

=(

 

[Lythium]

I know that feel, bro. (ﾉ￣д￣)ﾉ

 

[Zankoku]

Hey, on the bright side this pretty much confirms that you don't need a strong scene to become a solid player yourself.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I should've met up with you when I was out in Vegas, Ankoku. I am sadface nao.

'Course, this was almost a year ago, but still.

[Jam Stunna]

I can start a room at 11:00 PM EST. I can't guarantee the quality of my connection though. I'm not at home, and I'm on DSL instead of cable.

 

[Crusayer]

I wish my internet wasn't horrible due to the blizzard.

 

[LivewiresXe]

The only place that anime isn't dead in Canada is Montreal.

That's kind of it. :<

Weird, it's seemed to be at least alright in Toronto when I've been there. Granted, a couple of the people said it had a bit of a temporary setback and so the Airdasher scene there had some people break off, but it's certainly much better than ol' Ottawa's. At times I DO kinda feel I lived in TO or MTL, and might have actually considered moving there if not for the whole "friends are here" bit, lol.


And wait Crusayer, you guys have a blizzard but we don't over here and are getting 16-14 degree days on Sunday-Tuesday?

 

[Crusayer]

I'm WC Canada bro.

Our weather is currently like -15 with 5cm snow.

This stupid weather also screwed up my smash community's trip to Calgary >[. Plan trip for like a month, get blizzard 2 days before tournament. UGH.

 

[Sion]

it's pretty cold in bc

but not alberta cold

 

[Teczer0]

Hey, Jam do you mind sending me the invite again?

It... just vanished?

Did you disband the room?
