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

[Minato]

30 or so minutes and I'll show up.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

DAMMIT I CAN'T FREAKIN DASH FOR CRAP TODAY

Stupid stick.

 

[Teczer0]

I don't think I will ever be able to land this Aigis combo online :<

God, hmmmmmm

That 2A/bokosuka mixup though.

 

[Teczer0]

Ok, guys Sakurazaki is making a new room because a lot of people want to play.

So ask him to play

 

[LivewiresXe]

I've kept feeling I should be punishing things instead of being as defensive as I have been, but that might be my inner offensive-mindedness trying to come out by force openings that aren't there.

 

[Crusayer]

Late reminder:

BLOCK

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Actually Livewire is blocking pretty well, lol.

You just don't know how to run up and guard to air something.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Haha, thanks. I felt during those Aigis matches as I was getting hit by the 8-way bullets in the air "I think that I can block those up here, so I should figure out the timing". After a couple of matches of thinking to myself "oh this is going awfully, I'm going to get grilled to hell for this", I felt a lot better about things after the last few and wish I could've stuck on to play more. But man, that Aigis player though...ouch.

 

[Matador]

GGs to everyone I played. I wanted to add you all, but for some reason none of you were on my 'players met' list...

So yeah, please add me, lol. PSN: Kmatador77

I'm usually down to play, even if I'm on something else at the time. My Skype is the same as my PSN name if you're looking for me there.

DAMMIT I CAN'T FREAKIN DASH FOR CRAP TODAY

Stupid stick.

Yeah, I think I saw this when you were trying to punish one of my moves at one point in our matches (the last match we played, I think). I could feel the frustration

 

[LivewiresXe]

Wait...that Labrys is actually from the boards? Well, my bad on that one, lol.

 

[Matador]

Your bad for what?

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Ggs everyone!

Gotta work on a few things. Today's matches were weird, lol.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Your bad for what?

I was thinking "who the heck is this random guy and how did he get in here?" for a while, to be honest, so yeah...that's about as oops as accidentally picking Kanji.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

I seriously thought you were going to start something with Kanji, lol.

 

[LivewiresXe]

I seriously thought you were going to start something with Kanji, lol.

Haha, nah. I went to pick Chie, but I accidentally moved the stick before I hit X and it went to Kanji without me meaning it to. That's why I sat there for like 40 seconds.

 

[Rutger]

GGs everyone.

Labrys is so fun, it's a shame I only got one match in.

I need to play some more, I'm still playing sloppy, I even tried to FD cancel my dash a couple times. :/

 

[Teczer0]

GGs everyone my little kawaii Aigis chan is still a baby so I did really bad with her haha.

GGs minato, man iunno if its me being ******** and slow to react but I literally never blocked raging lion ugh thats annoying. That double cross up mixup is straight up scumbag dirty omg.

 

[LivewiresXe]

So, I should probably ask but does anybody who was in the rooms have any comments/thoughts/advice on things? I got DP baited a few times and feel by panic mashing and having moments of slipping into auto-pilot I put out way more AoAs than I should have, but I'm more than willing to listen to anything any of you guys would like to say.

 

[Minato]

I forgot how to play as Yosuke and Chie again. Hitting the lab right now.

 

[Teczer0]

Mina-chi, I am highly against your new title.

 

[Minato]

Sounds like you're being tsun about it.

 

[Teczer0]

Look at Minato just abusing my mental state.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

I didn't know Tec was a redhead megane :V

In the lab atm.

 

[Teczer0]

Aw, you guys being in the lab makes me want to be there.

But man, I wanna play P3 :<

Someone help me make Minato learn Shabrys.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

My, what bouncy breasts you have, Taco.

Smooth Criminal

 

[Lythium]

If Minato learns Shabrys, we're already dead. :V

 

[LivewiresXe]

Smooth Criminal, I gotta be honest. I burst out laughing when I saw your new avatar.

Edit: And I totally just realized when I meant to ask/wonder/comment about Matador as "that Labrys player" I accidentally put Aigis instead making the whole thing confusing as hell. Haha, late night fatigue johns.

 

[Lythium]

Speaking of Aigis, someone teach me how to Aigisu.

She's fast and her normals are stubby, I don't get it. :V

 

[Zankoku]

Aigis is orgia management. She's got tools to set up space (2B and Athena counter-shields), and then once you think you can get in or once you land a quick combo into knockdown, you activate Orgia mode and do pressure strings that keep the opponent blocking for like 20 seconds... and if they wrong-block, you deal ~4000 damage for 25 meter. Orgia pressure is pretty much mixing up between instant j.A/j.B (since in Orgia mode, forward = airdash forward), 2a, and sweep (since in Orgia mode, you can cancel sweep into forward dash).

LWX, don't jump when you see Aigis use her bullet spray. Just roll through it.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Is that because the bullet spray is air-unblockable, because blocking it (or going to block it in the air) leaves you in an unfavourable position and her in a favourable one after, or kind of both?

 

[Zankoku]

You can block it as long as you're not like in jump startup frames or something, but blocking 2B is free Orgia activation for Aigis, and rolling through is the only way to punish it.

Hmm, I know most of this stuff already, but thanks! I'm mostly having trouble getting my momentum rolling. I think I need to watch some Aigis matches.

Thanks for the info. :3

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Who is a good Kanji to watch, Japanese or otherwise?

Smooth Criminal

 

[Zankoku]

The Biter (SoCal), Tae Seong Kim (PNW), YMST (Japan), FAB (Japan), and A.X.I.S. (Michigan) are all fairly solid Kanji players.

I swear you had a chie avatar like actually 45 seconds ago.

Also, yea that's my issue too. I need to learn what to abuse so I can get in and force the block.

Orgia jC is okay sometimes, to get in. Her D is nice to kinda sneak in too, which I managed to completely neglect last lobby =[.

Surprisingly her combos aren't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

 

[Lythium]

I'm having issues settling on an avatar. None of them look right. D:

But yeah, I think I just need more play time. If she ends up not clicking, then it's not a big deal, but I'm fooling around with other characters for fun, and she's pretty cool.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Everyone is using different characters.

Might be the cue for me to pick someone else up.

 

[Lythium]

Well, I have a very ignoble reason for picking up new characters, but I'll probably just end up sticking with Labrys 4 lyfe.

Spoiler

Tier whoring to win a tournament, doo bee doo~ :V

 

[Rutger]

I still want to learn every character.

I like everyone, but I could never pull that off. :|
