Gotta love ASW for patching it so efficiently too.
Lost my first match with Kanji. Game was the worst I played so far, two full seconds of input delay. Yet the guy I was against was playing through it well. Very salty about that. Then I took my frustration out on a Yosuke and all was well!
Gonna play around with Chie and Akihiko for a bit then take them into online and see how well I do.

I love that patch image. Very classy of them.
Meanwhile, Capcom continues to pretend that its netcode is good.

:lol at the email. They know what's up.
Do you have a 360 copy of this game too Chavelo? If so I'll be online tonight around 6:30 to 7:00ish and playing till probably 11:30 at night if you wanna get some games in.
Haha barely pulled that one through.

Like every fighter I've bought this gen has had some really broken shit I've had to wait for them to patch. They've all been like several week-long waits though except for this one, and now things work super-well. Thank you based ArcLus.
Can you guys try to explain how links and combos work in this game? I've never played a GG or BB game before, so maybe I just fundamentally don't understand what's going on.
It just seems like things that combo extremely easily sometimes are impossible to combo other times. Like with Chie in the corner I'll do 236A>236A>5B>5C>236B>236B. Sometimes is will work, sometimes the other character will do the air recovery before the second 236B can hit.
Things like that happen on other combos too. I'll combo something together fine, but then I'll try that same combo 4 or 5 hits into a combo and the other character will air recover much quicker than before, and the combo won't work.
This is getting so frustrating.

Jeez why did I choose ShLab I suck with her
If your combo number is turning yellow it means they could have recovered out of it. I think.
Yeah, just got a copy for my 360 yesterday, since I want(ED) to use it as an gathering/tournament/practice setup compared to my roommate's ps3 and my copy of the game for online rank/GAF matches, but then the patch dropped like today, so oh well.
I won't be able to get online tonight, though. I'll be at another gathering tonight down in Lakewood for the game, which of course you're welcome to swing by and get bodied. Also, am I tripping, or did the font change in the forums? D:
Correct, it isn't a "valid" (hate using that word in this sense) combo. They can escape by burst. I think hit-stun is the only one that makes a combo "valid."

Until I get paid tomorrow I am just scraping by.
If there is a meet up somewhere this coming week(busy all weekend with the girlfriend), then I'll definitely swing by. I could use some better practice to feel the flow of this game out, because when I play Yosuke I'm just going 3000MPH rush down.

I think the word you're looking for is "guaranteed".
That, and if your opponent instant guards, reduces hit stun if you see them flashing white.
Takes some practice for sure. Seems like a great IK tho but I keep missing the angle.

I was amazed that I had no lag against God's Beard. Mahvel was a slideshow the few times I fought him.

That's funny. I feel like the opposite.
I feel like if I'm not using the default colours I'm not really playing the character, but some weird version since the colours are no longer correct.
Doesn't really bother me that much when I see alternate colours but I like seeing 2 people use the defaults because it feels like it's the actual characters fighting.

Gonna be honest here, I don't like a ton of the alt colors available. I guess I'm spoiled by SFxTs color system
Teddy's one of the only characters I've fought thus far that gave my Yosuke trouble.
It always feels like this happens when a Teddy shows up:

I think I'm definitely going to stick with Labrys as my main. 5-6k combo's are too hard to resist.
Agreed on SFxT's color system. Spent a few hours on it just getting some wacky and cool combinations. Though I gotta say that the alt colors in P4A aren't that bad, but they screwed up on the DLC part of it. :/
I forked over for Yosuke DLC color pack simply because all his options without DLC were bleh to me. I LOVE the blue color DLC one and use a black Jariya with red eyes. ;D
Only played SFxT for 15 minutes, and from what I saw KOF has had the best system for that so far.
Real question: what is the trick to avoid / block his circus thing super?Teddy's one of the only characters I've fought thus far that gave my Yosuke trouble.

I can destroy a Teddy, and lose just because they mash this and I always fall for it.
jump over it
You just need to hold a button? I though you had to tap it out?

LOL.
Nice matches Onemic!
And then there was that random Teddy. (｡◕‿◕｡
I always leave a spot open for some random fun.
p.s. I'm up to challenge #25 now with my main! Woot!
Should air recovery be turned on when in training mode? I've had it on most of the time. When it's set to off, you can practically do infinite's in the corner.
But can't he delay it? And choose which side to come from?
I always eat it when I'm in a corner, and he appears behind me...
It was tap in BB, and hold it here, if I followed it right.
Much better.
LOL.

I still cant get past #23. ;_; Not that I've tried since the first 2 hours of getting the game ha.
omg I was tapping the entire time. This makes it super easy.
And ya, I've only faced Saru's Teddy, so I'm not too knowledgeable about his super in the corner.

Hey don't hate on Teddie, he's legit!
That's odd. Is your Auto Skip on?
You can't roll through Circus Bear D cause you otherwise place yourself right in it's path, C is fine though.. What I do is I wait a second, jump back, then double jump forward, which lets me jump over both versions.
A lot of DPs will protect against it though. Yukiko can just Dia right through it, lol.
Edit: Any lobbies going on? I need to get my fradulent Labrys on.
