Oh wait, fighting game snob thread. Right. Sorry.

I'm not a fighting game snob at all, there's demonstrations of every challenge mode combo you can see by opening the pause menu and selecting Demonstration. It's also on some button I think RT is the default. Just watch those if you can't figure out the combos.

I do agree that there should be some indication that you need to double jump or jump cancel something but it's not that hard to figure it out otherwise.

Didn't someone earlier say you have to pick every decision possible? I think that means go back and play Yu and pick the ones you haven't.

edit: Oh yeah, Chie combos that are NOT in the corner. No matter how I hit confirm I always end on QCF+A x2 then QCF+C. I never do more than around 3000 damage so the combos suck, help?

Oh right, now I remember why training/challenge modes in fighters are horseshit. They expect you to pull off absurd 1-frame link BS that no normal-rear end player with a gamepad's going to be able to pull off with any kind of regularity.

Now I remember why I stopped bothering with SF4's stupid-rear end training mode. It doesn't actually train you how to do anything and in fact only makes you loathe trying to do stuff like that! Most of the people you fight online are gonna mash, so gently caress this noise. I don't care what you unlock for doing this. There's no way in hell I'm doing all these. At 20 on Naoto's and I already wanna strangle the developers.

Jump and hit A-Y-A-Y-B, yeah that's just shy of completely loving impossible. Been trying for over five minutes and I haven't gotten past the second hit one god drat time. Oh wait, that's because by that time you loving land!

Nope.

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
Standard hitconfirms are not gonna do more than 2-3k in this game unless your name is Aigis or you spend lots of meter. The real big combos come from fatal counters, corner combos, and using One More Burst. It's usually better in most cases to sacrifice a bit of damage to go for setups until they're in a range you can kill them in one combo, then blow all your meter.

I just had a friend over to play a bunch of random matches so I'd have a human opponent to figure things out on. Turns out I'm bad at fighting games and lost most of my matches to him mashing Auto-Combos and the occasional P Combo. :downs: So far I've really been enjoying playing as Elizabeth, but I need to figure out a better combo for her than the weak C-C-C-C-D I managed to get through Arcade mode with. Anyone have any tips for playing as her?

I can't get past like 22 on any other characters but all of Naoto's challenges are pretty easy except for #30, I have no idea how to even begin doing a 10k damage combo.

I've found most of the trial 30 combos require you to use a one more burst, so keep that in mind when you're trying to figure them out.

Now can you giant, defensive fighting game snobs go back to destroying your hands. It's what you do!

e: VVV Get as many challenges done with the character(s) you like then bounce around training and arcade a bit then go online. Some of the challenges really help point out how a character can do some cheap and easy damage.

Can I get a quick bit of advice?

I've never been great at Arksys games - more of an SF guy myself. Is it better to just get the basic controls down and jump into arcade/online mode at the beginning, or is it better to do shitloads of training mode.

Do the tutorials. Then pick a character, do their challenges at least to learn their special moves and most basic combos. Then mess with them in training/arcade/story until you know all their moves, and as soon as you're comfortable with that start messing with fighting real people.

Well one of the nice things is that if you KNOW they're gonna press a button you can press b+d and beat it, without having to get good at reversal DPs or knowing character specific stuff or anything. Or, if you need a punish or hit confirm but are too flustered to do a real combo, auto combo is actually pretty decent for most characters so you can go to that if you need it. The game actually scales down in skill/experience levels pretty well without feeling random.

It's the same VA. She just changed her voice some to account for the year difference between this and P3, plus, yeah, she probably had some different direction. Being more outgoing fits the development she got in P3, assuming you maxed her S. Link.

EDIT: Yeah, I listened again it's definitely Wendee Lee.
