Yeesh, that lag.
Shame I only got a handle on Chie's moves after the tournament matches though...
What was the score?
Also a reminder to everyone that losers games have to be played.
At least Round 1 and 2 have to be completed tonight.

2-1. After PSN was down yesterday, all my matches have had serious lag. The netcode wasn't perfect before, but I haven't had any good matches all day. Might just be a coincidence, oh well. It's not like random Teddie unblockables work unless it's lagging anyways
It's not a projectile now.
It allows for a lot of thinking time, and you can also go into All Out Attack in the air, so you can catch punishes.
Teddie's also not completely vulnerable in the air now either.
I mean, I mostly just use it to get a breather, maybe catch people who weren't expecting it.
Definitely got a lot of buffs.

Once again I just can't tell what I am doing wrong. Everything, I am pretty sure I am doing everything wrong. It can't be the character then I guess, if everything is a gigantic mistake. I should really come to terms with being terrible at these games sometime soon, then pretend they never existed.

I'm supposed to fight Jotamide, right? I won't be able to play today, so I'll forfeit this round (which will knock me out of the competition, I know). Maybe next time, I guess.
Unrelated: I got modded on Dustloop
Awww.

YES! Worst player on GAF! Wooooooo! Go me. I'll fight anyone first to two losses that wants to challenge that.
Time to retire Minazuki.

Welp then sounds like things are going perfectly then. Been stacking up these losses real high.
Lose, lose, lose, and then lose some more. Preferably to somebody who is slightly above your skill level.
Was on PSN earlier (about 2 hours), sent a PM.
If nothing happens in the next hour, I'll give you the bye.
I also let Pics_nao know that one of you two would be the next match, but they haven't seem to have been on PSN recently.

You aren't nearly as bad as you keep claiming, and these things take time.
Also, you might want to review your matches sometime. Just from our matches I noticed you liked to teleport right after throwing daggers at full screen. That's something that people more comfortable with the Minazuki MU would probably punish.
Logged in about... 18 days since launch over here and the majority of them are losses. I'm learning from each of those losses, though. If I ever run into you in one of those arcade lobbies, I'll shoot you a challenge.
If you enjoyed the story in P4A, you'll most likely enjoy the story in P4AU. Structure is far better and more goes on in it.
If you didn't download the free first week DLC, though, you'll have to purchase Episode Adachi, which fills out some unexplained portions of the story and gives it an interesting new perspective.
If we could have done it today (Saturday) then it would have been fine, but oh well
We can fight for fun anytime though
Good to know, thanks. I downloaded what was available the first week, I think. Can't remember if that included the Episode Adachi or not. I'll need to check that when I get home.

OK thanks. I think in some games Player 1 would always win if something like that happened, and I wasn't sure if this game was the case. Usually if two players do the same move with same priorities and the like at the same time, they would either both take damage or the moves would negate. But then it would be odd to see two Kanjis ram head-first into each other, and obviously they can't both grab at the same time.

Oh I was playing against Kanji that had 4 bar connection. The first match was fine but then it started to get random lag spikes. I was sad.

You remind me of myself when I used to(lol) have meltdowns in fighting game threads.
The feeling will pass at some point. Also recommended to limit your sets to FT5 or 10. Since there are many cases where you can't learn anything from someone who is dominating you. So there's no point in playing against the same person for hours and hours while learning nothing in the process. Look up combo's and block strings on dustloop and learn some since you need them to do respectable damage in this game.
Watching good players that use your character also helps as well, since you can try and mimic some of their tactics/blockstrings/combos/whatever.
It's a continuous process so don't expect you're going to become a god overnight (I know you will anyway since I do it too
).Ok so today's matches are...
Iceburg vs FluxWaveZ (Winners Rounds 3)
Jotamide vs Ultimate_Trainer (Losers Round 3)
hao chi vs Rean (Losers Round 3)
The loser of Iceburg and FluxWaveZ vs the winner of Jotamide and Ultimate_Trainer (Losers Round 4)
The winner of hao chi and Rean vs me (Losers Round 4)
Please get your matches done ASAP.

You're really bumming me out, man. Get over it, it takes a long time to get good at fighting games, way more than a couple of weeks, and once you get good you still lose plenty. If you want to see that in action go watch Excellent Adventures on Cross Counter, Mike Ross is a world class player and he consistently gets blown up by randoms online.
If you want to know how to play better then watch a lot of videos of whatever character and see what they do, the neutral game is the most important part of learning to play. Past that just keep grinding out matches and getting experience. When I play I usually sit down with Tyrant Rave for two hours and just lose 80%

I seriously think that you can beat me. Real.

Oh hey this game has voice chat during the match? Because I heard some random mumbling coming across my speakers but I couldn't make out anything.
Yeah it does. You can't mute it if someone else is doing it iirc
That seems like an unfortunate oversight.

Playing fighting games is hard after wrist surgery. I can't instant air dash and I pull my stitches when I do quarter circles on the right side of the screen.
I got so mad at this game when I want to play it I just put on BB cause I need wins to survive.
I think I should be playing mine with Iceburg shortly, if he can rectify the network issues he's currently having.
GGs. That FluxWaveZ-special-custom Shadow Rise set-up seems to land most times I try it and I haven't spent any time in Training mode to see how to evade it. Sometimes people try to Burst it (which you naturally can't do with Shadow Naoto), but invulnerability goes through that, too. Evading seems to work against it, but that won't work if one's trying to jump to escape the 22A+C and is hit by it (or blocking it) low to the ground.
Haha, the setup is real! When I take this game less seriously I have more fun. I challenged you knowing I would lose and still enjoyed myself.
Ah, if I knew that, I would have switched characters constantly, heh. Wasn't sure if you'd be okay with switching like that in a set.
Cool, I'll know that if there's ever a next time. Some don't like it when I switch like that, even playing casually, but that's the most fun for me. Like you said, it's way more fun when the players aren't taking it so super seriously that they even get angry after matches.
Yeah I would have been cool with you switching. No need to wait till you lose with me or whatever the real rules would be. I just knew I wouldn't want to play long since I need to go to the gym and didn't want to leave you hanging.
Yeah some people say that to me in BB but I like to switch it around a lot since I find a lot of characters fun. With P4U I don't know how to play period, so I just stick with either S. Naoto or regular.
I'm waiting on hao chi right now.

If it's the setup I'm thinking of, you might be able to guard cancel or roll cancel if you have the meter
