Well, I'm trying out shadow labrys, but for some reason everyone notates her combos like a retard idiot. Why would you put her persona attacks where they're supposed hit instead of the order you're supposed to hit the buttons in? :confused:

It's not that hard to figure out what they mean, but that is some rude poo poo.

I gave up on the new slab after like 5 minutes since I'm a scrub that can't play without the old 2c, but I've heard that most of her new combos are finicky with persona positioning, so there may not be a constant time to press the buttons.

my thumbs try to play every fighting game the same way, it's hard to get out of the habit of trying "traditional" combos instead of focusing more on the stick movements and less on the buttons.

Gave Junpei a try (best char in P3 EZ), but the number of hard links in his good combos has pretty much scared me off. Might just give up and go back to Kanji, but also interested in trying out Yukari as well.

Feel free to add me on PSN, my id is Jmcrofts.

Can I get some help with something? It's in regards to the ending. I picked both options for episode P4 and beaten it but it's still stuck at 94%. I read that you have to do all of episode P3 and do the same thing, which I did, but now it's still at 99% and chapter 11: Mission Complete is shown with the word clear in yellow. Did I miss something?

Do the P4 story again and pick the first option again. Also, replay the chapter 11 section of P3.

All of Yukari's main combo routes seem to rely on very tight links. And without them she basically does no damage off anything. Which is shame because her zoning is really fun and wind orb is one of the better character mechanics.

Actually, a lot of the new characters seem to be gated behind difficult combos. Marie has 4 different versions of her 5a bnb for different members of the cast and she doesn't even have one that works on Sho. Seems like a weird design decision since a lot of characters still have really easy combos.

Which P3 choice did you most recently pick? It only remembers the last one you did. It worked for me after I did the second choice.

Play all the way through the ending after picking the first option, don't go back to the Main Menu.

Well, finally played a real match of this and I'm reminded why I hate the fighting games made by these guys. Guss I'll just do the story mode and shelf the game.

Edit: And by "these guys" I mean Arc System Works, not Atlus.

I'm picking this up later today. Where should a complete newbie to this game start? I had the first one, but never played it because no one around me did. Now there's a group near me where everyone plays it, so looking to get started.

I'm coming from Marvel as that's the only fighting game I've really played in the past few months.

EDIT: And my psn is theguy2687 if you want to beat on a newcomer.

Work through Tutorial and Challenge Mode to get a feel of the concepts and how each character plays. From there, roll around in Training Mode with the characters that you like, and decide which ones you like. From there, there should be plenty of resources online on basic combos you can work on - Dustloop is a good place to start.

To add to this: depending on the character you can cancel their DP on block into a super, and these may or may not be able to be OMC'd. Expensive but definitely worthwhile if you need to get out of a bad spot.

My grandfather came into my room and started ranting about some stuff he saw on TV which is when that embarrassing ending to our match happened when I was trying to go for j.B and it came out as just a standing B.
