Yosuke reminds me of UMvC3 Strider, except crappier. His damage output is decent if the opponent doesn't recover, but he doesn't have good normals except for j.B (5B is merely ok IMO) and if you whiff a crescent slash close to a mash happy Kanji or Akihiko you can kiss your ass goodbye.

Is there a way to do that? Would make things easier. And I think I added everyone to my friends list that wanted to be on the chat. I need to invite you when you accept. If I missed anyone or if you want in on the chat let me know.
I weep because I'm forced to watch/read about Persona 4 Arena. As much as I love fighting games, im tight on my money. I've also been trying to get games on sales this year and so far, have been doing good.
Plz drop soon. Or some sale somewhere. Even a 30 or 40 price tag would suffice!

It's really only useful if you can get Amagiya Buckets or time it properly with Smart Bomb.
It's way too easy to avoid otherwise.
I'd like to be on the chat to. Cho-EVOL
Yea adapting on the fly is a sign of us both getting better at the matchup lol. Yukiko's normals actually have pretty good range, and go into combo/blockstring on hit.
One thing that you might want to consider is figuring out a blockstring that gives you more options for high/low mixup or lets you reset pressure. Once you started it I pretty much just had to block the first hit high and the rest low and not worry about any real followup. It eats up the clock pretty well though (；´Д`)

This game is really showing me just how much I still have to learn about FGs...my pressure game is just dreadful ;__;
fyi: the best you'll do is $50 from newegg.com or the Fry's sale ($50 too) unless it ended already.

But the second A won't connect at max range.

The problem is her mixup isn't really good against the better rushdown. The range of 2a isn't as fast nor does it cover much distance.
I couldn't do my high/low persona attack because well... your bullets counter that one. I learned real fast that I can't do that since on reaction you could 2b (i think its 2b) it and I get nothing out of it.
I started using the fire floor move (maragi I think?) to create further pressure with block stun. After awhile I realized I couldn't RTSD against an Aigis since I'll lose so I had to play patient with nonstop pressure and bait mistakes. I'm loving yukiko's playstyle, its so ideal for me to get in that mid range area and just walk people into corners. I find it amusing to say the least that Yukiko can create such high pressure against rushdown characters
barring mitsu and slabs
But man your rushdown was relentless. Everytime I was in the corner I was like "FML". At least I can block a decent amount of those high/lows. If anything if you get me in the corner the match is literally over rofl.

Huh, so teddie has no overhead normals.
Yeah, it's really annoying.
He's just got his All Out Attack, Smart Bomb, and Amagiya Buckets.

It's actually not negligible, hitting with the very tip is the whole point and what makes it a good option select. It's not an option if the follow up comes out every time. I only do it in situations where the 2nd A wouldn't hit. Any closer and you have more mixups available, no reason to waste my best one.
stealth edit failed :'(

So the fastest all-out attack is 24 frames, and Mitsuru's is 34. And I used to think Dudley's 9-frame overhead was slow.

19-1 with Mitsu. I'm not that good with her, people need to learn how to block low.
I knew it was slow as fuck. Which one is the fastest?
Well, 2 second malwarebytes and its gone.
Time to stop searching for ways to beat Kanji's DP on google I guess.

I think it's finally time I invest in a fight stick.. a normal controller just isn't cutting it anymore.
Kinda surprised that I'm enjoying playing as Labrys. Her amazing accent sealed the deal, I guess.

yep same thing happen to me when I was playing against her.
if you figure it out, let me know. But I think someone mention block low?
"It wasn't a compliment, numbskull."
The accent + who's directed at... I totally lost it there. >_>;
So, I was planning on just renting this, but all the positive stuff I've heard about it and my high level of Persona fanboyism are making me think about actually buying it (Even though it will mean supporting shitty Zen United :/).
Is it worth purchasing? What would y'all give it out of ten?

9/10.
Amazing story. Easy to get into. Great Online Play. Great cast of characters both story and gameplay wise. And quite a variety of modes to play through.
But on the downside, Score Attack mode isn't really Score Attack (it's Unlimited Mars... -_-), and the gouging on stuff that was in the arcade mode as DLC is stupid.
I'm honestly kinda hoping for both, but I'm not sure how they'd really go about that given the game-changing nature of the ending.

A+ now pretty easy to rank up in this game lol
I heard that Elizabeth apparently gets the Fool arcana. As much fun as she is, I hope this doesn't mean she's gonna be a main character. 
But yes, I would definitely love both. Maybe Persona 4 Arena 2 can have the P1-P4 cast attempt to go against Nyarlathotep, fail to do so, then Persona 5 will include a new cast and save them? Either way I would really love a sequel to P4 Arena with the rest of the cast, plus with how well it's doing sales wise, I don't see why they wouldn't make an update a year from now or so.

I haven't touched online ranked at all yet, does the competition get significantly better when you rank up to that point or is it still mostly week 1 AAAA combos?

I've played a few great players, there is a really good yukiko around my psr
the game will always be AAA to some extent because that's important for meter gain
Anyone want to play a few games before I go to bed?

I'm at C- and the people I'm playing are either really good or I'm really bad. ;_;
Don't worry buddy, once the EU release is out, there'll be a flood of terrible players like myself. I loaded up Blazblue last night to see if I still remembered how to play, and basically, if I played as anyone who wasn't Hakumen I got tanned.
Unfortunately for me, Hakumen isn't in Arena.

LOL got owned by a japanese shadow lab player that was at 750psr. On the plus side I absorbed their B+D counter hit combo and now have a new tool
