I've never cared about a fighting game from it's release before; any idea when frame data will start coming out? I'm curious to look up startup and active frames on some stuff, but it doesn't look like anybody's posted it on dustloop or MM.

Some of them appear to be up on the Japanese wiki, here's Labrys for example:
http://w.livedoor.jp/p4u_matome/d/%a5%e9%a5%d3%a5%ea%a5%b9%a1%a1%b4%f0%cb%dc%a5%c7%a1%bc%a5%bf

But doesn't look like everyone has data up yet ...



Fun new lesson learned, Labrys's 236P-6-A is at fame advantage on block.

Throws are 5F startup it looks like, good to finally know that.

Is there a reliable way to get past Elizabeth beamspam? I'm playing as Yu, and can always get in after a little bit because rushdown is kind of his thing, but I always wind up taking a few hits in the meantime.

Super Jump from the beam and then air dash towards Liz when you hit the peak of your jump, you should basically be right in front of her when Ziodyne is clearing up.

If you're both in Awakening with lots of meter and she's zoning you out, you can return the favor by OMC'ing a Ziodyne super from fullscreen, then running in and mixing her up while she's stuck blocking the beam. Even if she blocks it all it's a guaranteed way to get in her face.

Also, I'm pretty sure Yu can punish either of her beams if you can identify which one it is. The one with really fast startup has long recovery and you can block then 214D even from far away. I think 214D can punish the long startup one too, but you have to slide at her before it comes out.

- Unless she uses meter her beam will either have a long cooldown or a long startup, letting you get ground

- Superjump -> airdash/raging lion

- slide under the beam with swift strike

- shoot the odd zio/ziodyne

I've been playing Liz all night as my first online char. It's not hard at all for most people to close with me.

Also, as an aside...gently caress the last sliver of health. I dunno what it is, but the game won't let you kill people unless you get a solid hit on the last sliver. I've had a ton of games tonight where I get to about half health and the other person has a sliver left. I simply cannot kill them and they comeback all the time. I don't understand why this is going on and it's literally killing me!

You just can't get killed from chip damage. It makes knowing how to block even more important, and means that if you're really drat good you can actually turn a match around even at 1 HP.

The A version of the laser has fast startup but really long recovery. Like Wixard said, this can actually be punished on block from full screen away with the D version of Swift Strike or the C version of Ziodyne. If the opponent likes to follow up an A laser with another laser, you can block the first one from full screen away and dash up to her and counter hit her before the second one comes out. That's how much recovery she has.

The B version has slower startup but shorter recovery. You can't punish this on block unless you're closer to her. If you're full screen, just dash up to her and get ready to block whatever she throws out when you're about half way across the screen.

The SB version has short recovery like the B version. You can tell if its the SB version because it does more hits.

Also, if you eat a BnB that leaves you at full screen the Liz player might try to do a laser or flames when you wake up. Those can also be punished before they come out by ground teching and immediately doing either D Swift Strike or Ziodyne.

The important thing is that you must be patient. When you're trying to chase someone who is running away move forward carefully and block. Don't hit any buttons. Remember: against Elizabeth, even if you're full screen away and you block a laser you have the advantage.

Anyone else finding it weirdly difficult to super-cancel online? I just started playing Chie, and doing a combo where I need to cancel skull-cracker(236A after the first 236A) into power charge(236236A). Practice mode is no problem, but online, even with a good connection, I do the movement and it only comes out like 1/10 times. I feel like I'm still doing everything right and the game's just not keeping up. Maybe if I moved the X-Box to the CRT TV; the one I'm using now has pretty bad input delay to begin with.

I know exactly what you mean, but I'm able to do it most all times. You really just have to get used to the lag and mash the input more(ill throw the input twice sometimes, its not like it will lead to anything else). A good TV is always nice if you have the option, that's all on you though.

e: Yes it's weird but you get used to it. I should get to the point more.

e2: A super like this is easy with online because you can probably input it 5 times before you land. So yeah put it in twice or something, you can't do any other supers with those button inputs so just mash it out. The netcode is good, but it's far from real speed good, still very nice.

You think it's bad as Yu? Try Kanji. Anytime I beat an Elizabeth player they beamspam for the rest of the next round because they know I don't have the speed to get out of it easily.

Hit her with the bat. The worst Elizabeth can do is hit you with A Maziodyne, everything else will get stuffed by the bat because her persona attacks are rather slow. The risk-reward is way in Teddie's favor, you can take a few lasers from poor batting but if you counterhit her just once she loses a massive chunk of her piddly health pool. Maybe I'm just saying this because I have trouble with the bat as Elizabeth, but it seems like if you have a good mid-range "poke" of any kind you can shut down most of Elizabeth's persona attacks (and Mitsuru is just made of fast mid-range pokes so gently caress her too).

The range is slightly less than fullscreen, and it takes a tiny bit longer to set up. It's really good against characters like Naoto or Aigis, but does nothing against Maziodyne spam.

Nice. Here's as far as I've gotten with my Lazy White Man USA Yosuke:

BnB off 5A or 2A:

5A/2A, 5C, 2C xx 236B, moonsie, moonsie, 236D kunai, into hilarious and bad midair oki


Fatal Counter BNB:

2C (FC), 5C xx 236B, late j. 2C, otg 2A 2B 2C, j. BB, dj. BB xx 236 kunai, hilarious and bad midair oki



Some of these corner ones are really good.


Oh , here's how you beat Yosuke's blockstrings (but dont tell anybody or ill lose):

When you block a jackie chan run up your chest move and he goes into moonsault, you dont even have to guess which way to block just jump up and immediately airhtrow me



edit: Holy poo poo This Guy Can Use The Glide.

Teddie is fantastic, if you can put up with really lovely midscreen combo damage, even off of a fatal counter, unless you spend meter, or have the right item ready to go. Plus rage or fear+rage set ups in the corner are so drat scary.

Yeah, right now my tactics with him are limited to, appropriately enough, irritating the enemy to death with love taps while dancing outside their range of attack. A Yukiko player absolutely trashed me, because I couldn't figure out how to close the distance, but I had decent success against everyone else.

You can just use Kunai toss if you think they are going to expect a Moonsault, or if you are daring enough you can delay the Moonsault to go through the air-throw/DP attempt (Moonsault has a fully invincible startup). Also the way you beat Yosuke using Kunai after Dash Spring on block is using 5AC to go right through it, but Yosuke can beat that by just Moonsaulting backwards and then tossing Kunai forcing them to block.

Thanks for the games! We had some close matches, and I'm beginning to catch on. I swear I'll beat you at least once next time we play.

And I never even knew air grabbing was a thing (!) so I'll look into that.
