Got a perfect in an ranked match! Gotta say I am happy since I don't play fighting games at all! Anyone know how to counter or block kanji grabs and throws?
Command throws are unblockables, you just have to not get hit.
Teddie's biggest flaw though is the lack of any overheads besides his super slow All Out Attack.
I also need to get better with Kintoki-Douji.
Nah your Akihiko gave me some pressure, especially when you drove me into a corner. Keep that up and you'll have Narukami's dyin'
Ah, apologies. Misread it as saying you could do either jump or roll through either.
I love going to training mode and just seeing what my characters can do against random supers like Circus Bear, or IK's like Megidolaon. Helps knowing how to avoid 'em when the time comes.

I don't hate. Every match is a learning experience.
Learn your opponent's ability and the character's moves.
Oh, I know what the trigger for it is, but Supers like Aki's Maziodyne can actually trigger the IK and knock Elizabeth out of it in the very first few frames of the activation since it hits the whole screen, pretty much forcing Liz to waste 100 meter. Little details like that are what I like knowing.
Figures that the day I decide to try a rushdown character instead of a zoner, the first lobby I join in the day mostly uses zoners.
Yeah, I play Yukiko, so I have to respect the IK every time she reaches 100 SP. Liz and Shabrys are one of the reasons I'm trying to branch out to another character, ESPECIALLY the later since it's stuch a terrible matchup.

I think you will fit right in if you're a Marvel player. I'm going to assume you have the reflexes to hit confirm a lot and watch out for a lot of stuff flying around the screen. The game looks fantastic, sounds great, mechanics are basic enough to grasp and four buttons. You'll fit right in.
If you like Marvel you will probably like this.
Good stuff RoeBear, Reule. That was the first time I play Labrys against anyone, you can tell I got a lot more confident in doing her stuff at the end there thanks to you two.
Oh, and whoever was it that did the Yukiko vs Naoto fight against me, leaving Yukiko at fullscreen is the LAST thing you want to do, as you just saw.

Congrats!
Took my Chie online for a few ranked fights. Is it just me, or do a lot of people love trying to dash through everything right now? Especially Akihiko players for some reason. Been grabbing people all day. Haven't had a really serious fight yet, but damn I need to go back and figure out how to get in better with her. Also, got my first online instant kill with her. I love it so much. Good times!

Yea, Reule was the one that was trying to shoot. We also both noticed how you got way more confident with her at the end. It was kinda like a switch you flipped.
Er-You mean $30? Not for a while, it just released two days ago?
Also Junpei you need to play Naoto and Akihiko against me. >_>

So I think yukiko vs Eliz is an annoying fight. I'm not sure what I would place the matchup... though I want to say eliz forces the yukiko to rush in since if yukiko does fans or persona from midscreen+ she can magneto beam to go through. If you decide to dia she can just chill and build SP meter.
Its really an annoying fight but still doable. 5.5/4.5.
A lot of eliz today and each of them had an answer for me. I only won one game out of 3 different eliz.
On the good side I still dominate the mirror match pretty well. So many yukiko's don't know how to bait attacks or rush in. Yukiko's normals aren't even that bad since both the fans and 5A are jump cancel-able on block.
edit
O and more dumb yu. Did you know you have to punish the dp in the air otherwise he can reversal super lol? Is the dive sword + or = on block? Can't seem to ever punish it.

I bet this game will have a bunch of used copies- mostly from folks who fought this would be like the RPG and don't want to play fighters period, and some from folks like me who bought the Persona hype and realizing this is a game isn't what they like in fighters.
Look around and try to buy it off a person directly.

Yo I'm drowning in Akihikos. Fought 5 in a row just now.
I've fought against every character except for Slab and Yosuke.

Damn, are there too many online or do you think it's just a coincidence? I'm looking to main him when this drops in EU but I don't like using over-saturated characters...
Don't worry about it. Everyone is oversaturated except for Shadow Labrys.

This game is probably going to be one of Atlus' best sellers. It won't be drop in price for a while.

It's a direct sequel pretty much. It doesn't spoil the whole ending, but it does spoil a lot of Persona 4.
I'm quite interested in this getting this game in the near future. I am curious about the story it though.
EDIT: so it is a direct sequel, I see.
I loved P4 so I dunno how I feel about the game getting a sequel given its ending, but I'll check this game out since I like fighters and, again, loved P4.

So if I pick it up I should avoid story mode. Is there any single player mode that won't ruin it for me?
No other mode (Arcade/Score Attack/Challenge) has any real spoilers. There's some minor dialogue in Arcade mode, but it has no spoilers for either Persona 3 or Persona 4.
It is a straight continuation of Persona 4, and an indirect sequel of sorts to Persona 3 as well. There's no spoilers outside of story mode, however, if you want the brawling without context.
I haven't gone through it but Jeff Gerstmann from the Giantbomb said it's like a visual novel minus the erotic porn/love sim. Theres only 1 round so you'll go through it in a few hours
