Well at least with Aigis I know I'm getting better when I get her combos/movement down. Mitsu is something else.
One thing I miss with mitsu though is her DP, Aigis' Dp blows. Only hits the front.

Why would I want to do that?! :-OAkihiko. Rush down and no dropping combos or you lose.
Why do you think so? Most importantly, why do you think I wouldn't like Elizabeth? I almost think you're trolling me with Teddie...
I initially didn't buy the game because I think Mitsuru is a badass, but I can't play charge characters for crap. I tried with Shuma-Gorath, and it's just a no go.
Then I saw Elizabeth, Shadow Labrys, and Yukiko. They all look pretty cool. The thing about Naoto is that, while she's my style, it feels like it's typical ASW keepaway (weak chip, boring, largely ineffective since they like to force everyone to rush). So I lean away from her.
When I found out that Elizabeth has auto-meter gain, I thought "she's the one for me". Watching ChrisG play confirmed how I felt, and it looked like Elizabeth would be a good fit for my playstyle. Except...apparently she's the worst character in the game?!

Honestly, that's not saying much here. How can she be the worst if Kanji's in the game anyways?
Not the worst character overall, but she has one of the worst reversals and the lowest health. When you get your teeth kicked in by Yu and Mitsuru enough times it just shows how weak she is at keeping people off.
She is really beastly once she gets her ball rolling though.

Yes. The worst.
Kanji is easier to use. Elizabeth is hard to use and sucks. Easily the worst.

Damn, that first video was really impressive. Is the kid in Teddie a girl or a boy? One is slightly creepier than the other.

He's a bear, don't overthink it unless you want P4 spoilers >.>

Damn, but the Elizabeth in that video wrecked.
How can I overthink a kid hiding in a bear costume? :-/
Three hit combos into supers to win, it's Mahvel bay-bee.
Seriously though, Akihiko is pretty fun to play and I suggest you trying him out to see if you want to put time into him. Only issue he has (IMO) is getting in on people. Once you get in on them and know what you're doing OH MY GOD.
Play P4 to find out.

Let's just say it's more of a bear costume with a kid inside.

No no no no! I just found out about the MegaTen franchise when Devil Survivor came out. I'm all about trying to play through these games now that I know they exist. It's another one of the reasons I didn't get P4A. I don't want any spoilers. :-X

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Get ready for P3 and P4 spoilers. ;P

Maybe I shouldn't buy the game, then...I can stay away from the story mode if it's contained solely within that.

It doesn't spoil much about P4 at all. P3, damn near everything.
SolarKnight

Well, the fact you've seen Teddy take his costume off is already a spoiler. Other than little stuff like that, there aren't many spoilers outside of story mode, and even then the biggest ones are more P3's.
XiaNaphryz
LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
If he considers Teddie's nature a spoiler, there's actually quite a bit there P4 wise. But yeah, the P4 ones are mostly minor in comparison to P3.
Honestly, once you've gotten over the "charge character hump" you can play most of them. Thankfully I grew up on SF2. Also if every character was as hot as Mitsuru, I'd just main them =p. I mean what if Nina (BoF2) was a charge character provided she was inserted into a FG :lol. I'd drop everything and learn her no matter what!
I think Yukiko would be the most suitable for you after Elizabeth considering she has dirty pillar unblockables and stuff like that. Also while Liz has her own problems, it's worth it to invest in a character that you like and the character that's for you. I mean, that's why you still play Dorm despite his faults in Marvel 3 right?
And to answer your question you can play without going into story mode at all, I haven't done any of it. Just challenge mode , training , and online. Unless you're a trophy whore but I'm pretty sure that doesn't concern you at all =p.

Need a break from Kanji, trying out Akihiko
Yosuke's FA doesn't cause Bearserk. :V
Play Elizabeth with me please.
Oh yeah, Twilt, those mixups (faux unblockables) probably aren't that good to go for.
With you that close, people (that aren't as bad as me) can get out with a Guard Cancel Attack, and you'll lose a Persona card.
Plus it's not good to have characters so close to Yukiko anyways.

I'll keep that in mind. I'm still messing around with Yukiko's Persona and her Agi setups. I really like her pressure in the corner.
Dead Angle Attack/Counter Assault
A bunch of characters can probably also Furious Action out of it, better than Teddie's.
Kanji should definitely be able to do it, Shadow/Labrys's Guardpoint can get them through it, Mitsuru too probably.
Though you're better at figuring things out anyways, so it wouldn't take you like 100 games to figure that out.
I have no idea what that is. How do you do it?
Another defensive option I had no idea existed. Well, the more you know.

yeah that pressure is so good. If you space it right they can dp all day if they want. It'll just hit the persona and you can punish.
I haven't played (new job and all) for about a week and a half. @.@

This Labrys has some nice combo's. Going to have to do some reading/practicing.

Pain's Kanji is legit, at least. It'd be another story if people were falling for raw dive grabs all day.
The only thing I don't consistently do is 2B, and that's because I'm not confident enough to pull off the j.B j.B 5C 214A followup. I should rematch his matches again though, cause he seems to have a good handle on throwing out the weaver traps after a knockdown, which tend to blow up in my face.
