Except this time people actually play the character.
SSF4/AE Makoto myself
After playing Makoto in SF4 for like 2 years, it's strange to be playing a character that masses of people play.

I may be on to play a little bit later. Ys Origin has really been sucking up my time, though.
Oh wow, I'm using the "Unique" Layout. I changed it from the default because I could not comfortably do BD or hit D in general, for that matter.

It's come to my attention that I can only beat shitty Yu's, Chie's and Naoto's. Maybe Akihiko...
maybe.
maybe.
I'm sure you could beat my crappy Aigis.
(Not that I can play from where I'm at... Bleh. Oh well, it's worth the downside for some awesome Lasagna.)

GGs! I'd just pretend that I was beating you so badly you raged, although I have only won once in the 10 match rally, haha.
Yeah, Aigis can be dangerous if set up correctly. The problem is that you never let me get to that position to be threatening. I hate DPs.
It means DLC and $$$$ and Atlus wanting yours.
(I actually have no idea. Given Atlus's track record it could very well be dummied out content.
)

I use the MVC3 layout, it actually works pretty fine for me. I tried so hard to get used to the default or Street Fighter, but I couldn't. The first game I learned on a stick was TVC, so that could be a reason. I'm just used to that layout...
There's so much they can do with P5. Can't wait to see what happens.
I'm 99% sure you could beat my shitty Yukiko.

I can't remember if I asked this before but is there a recommended order for Story mode?
So far I'm doing all the investigation team, then after that I'll be doing the P3 characters. Then I'm assuming

That's what I'm doing...except I'm saving a complete run through of Yu's story for last.

SO is it like Blazblue where after you complete all story modes a final one is unlocked called "TRUE END" that is not character specific?
What?
So after I beat the
Labrys
You can start off where the story ends for each character.
You're already on my friends list, so just invite me if/when you want to play. I'm still pretty bad at this game myself.

seems like every character gets their own true end but I'm not sure.
I'm guessing Yu's is the canon ending tho.

If youve seen Yosuke/Chie/Yukiko then youve basicly seen Yus. They set it up so that it really doesnt matter who wins tbh.
And yay I can finally access gaf again.

Yeesh. I don't understand this game at all.
So far it seems like there's:
0 jump-ins. Every attack's anti air! Whee! Closing distance is pointless unless you lunge forward and then block a string.
I try to dash in and lose to people tossing out the off combo starter. Again, it seems like the only answer is block.
Gets frustrating in a hurry while trying to play as Chie. What am I missing? Starting to feel like this guy:

It just comes down to knowing what options your character has, what options your opponent's character has, and getting used to the game and the meta in general. Even though there are airdashes and air blocking and such, movement risk/reward seems more in line with Street Fighter than it is with Marvel because almost everyone has a universal air unblockable.
I'm not so sure about that.
In Yu's end
you have a confrontation with a hacker, and he hints that he is only working for the big bad.
In the Naoto/Aigis/Mitsuru (and I'm guessing Akihiko) end
you actually confront the "Malevolent Entity" responsible for everything, and he hints at what his ultimate plan is. Of course it only makes a vague reference to even having to work with a human.
The no spoil version: Yu's end definitely doesn't tell the whole story, while the P3 cast and Naoto's end does.

I suppose it's all just strange feeling to me still. Pretty much my first Arc game...
I think Elizabeth's story will also be important for the next Persona game.

I'm still only just beginning to learn matchup particulars and such so I might be wrong, but it also wouldn't surprise me if Chie has a harder time getting inside in general since her pressure is fucking ridiculous once she's in there.
There are some vids of MarlinPie playing Chie up on 8wayrun's YouTube so you might want to peep those to see how he gets in.

I haven't beaten story mode yet but that's interesting to hear(didn't read spoilers).
Block well and know that some characters have anti-air options that are air unblockable?
I kept wondering why I kept getting hit by one of Yosuke's move whenever I was trying to air dash in against him and then I found out it was air unblockable and spent much less time in the air.

Yeah, that's definitely true.
My guess is the closest thing to canon is they reconcile all of the stories in way that looks like they all helped save the day (but maybe Yu lead the charge). Elizabeth was there doing her thing
and she still challenged Yu at the end, but she didn't interfere during the Labrys/S.Labrys confrontation
the Malevolent Entity makes its appearance, possibly after the hacker was thwarted
No single story really seems like it could be considered canon
(except Labrys, but that ends pretty much at the start of the main story)
Doesn't stop you from doing yours!
Alright, time to get serious about learning Teddy and Naoto. I need some good BnB for those two. Especially for follow ups for after hitting with Teddy's B and Naoto's C. I know there should be something I can do to follow up, but I'm at a loss and just letting it drop after the hit.
dpad or joy stick?

Anyone know where I can get the inputs for Yosuke's challenge no.30? I just got the game. I went straight into challenge mode and hes the first character I picked.

I think there's a free dlc that shows how to do challenge 30.
I have an arcade stick.

I have no vertical coverage! Although it's safe to say she has the third best DP after Mitsuru and Yu. But that's just imo.
I had a problem with that too when I first started playing stick what I did to get around it was I alter the way I hold the stick while doing the motion. You should try that and see what's best for you

So I hooked up the old PS2 and loaded up my old The Answer file.
I'm about 14 hours in so I suspect I still have a ways to go.
This is something I want to finish up before I continue with P4:A's story.

Okay, thanks. I guess I'll try out the wineglass lol
Definitely do it before you play Elizabeth's story mode. None of the other story modes should really spoil anything from The Answer.
Edit- Actually, Aigis's story has minor spoilers from the Answer also, but mostly from the first 10 minutes or so.
