Thanks for those. Part of my problem with team stuff is that I rarely get a chance to play with real people, it's mostly me playing with the computer.

I remember in Next Plus it was a big deal that Freedom could cancel and nobody else could but as of Extreme it seems everything can. Is there any magic to cancelling besides just reaction to what happens, or are there some situations where you deliberately start an action that you intend to cancel?

There are lots of suits that start actions just to cancel them. This can be extremely useful for movement options, as it allows you to move in non-straight lines.

One example is the Susanowo's BC action. You can use 4BC or 6BC to spin in a slashing flurry at a weird angle and it doesn't consume much boost while preserving your momentum. So a lot of Susanowo's will use this action specifically for movement with the intention of cancelling it.

Lots of other suits use the same concept with triangle melee attacks but it all depends on which specific suit you're talking about.

I'm in an endless cycle of trying to learn how to play the game, having to stop for a bit to focus on other things, then coming back and realizing I've forgotten everything. :negative:

Well if you're down to relearn or just play casuals we can try to arrange rooms. The replay feature is pretty cool too so gameplay critique is pretty easy if anyone is looking for tips for personal improvement.

Thanks for playing, everyone! While I got rocked most matches, I did better than I've done whenever I've played online randomly or play single player on hard so I guess maybe I was wandering into rooms full of people who were way better than I am. I'm still pretty bad though.

I'd love to do this some more - I often don't get home on weekdays until after 8pm Eastern, and Saturdays can be hit or miss for availability, but Sunday afternoons are often consistently free for me.

Definitely good to play more, probably faster to catch me on twitter (@corgijorts) if you want to fit a match or two in some night.

Also: you sidestep a little bit too much, you should be consider dashing to go pressure the opponent some more. I guess I can't critique too much though, I started playing pretty bad the more we played haha. I'm not quite good enough to play random as much as I did.

I finally got the game, but the vouchers for the Ex-S and Multiplayer content aren't working. I try to redeem the codes on PS Store and a message pops up, but I can't read the kanji. I got it from PlayAsia during the sale last month and it was new so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Do you have a smartphone? If so install Google Translate. It lets you take pictures now so snap a pic and see what it says.

Nah, I don't usually post in YLLS. Your idea was decent, but the problem lies in the fact that it spits out Google Translate gibberish instead of anything resembling proper English.

The most I got from it was "Invalid content. Check Input." I practically have these codes memorized now. I don't see an expiration date on the codes, so... were they used by Play-Asia? Is that a thing? Would it spit out a different message if the codes were already redeemed?

It shipped from Hong Kong, but the game is in Japanese. I registered an account on the Japanese PSN, following the directions in the Import thread. Unless the box and manual in the Asian version is also mostly in Japanese. The help line is in Singapore :psyduck:

The box and manual will probably be in Japanese for the Asian version. Look at the number at the bottom of spine of the case; if the code starts with the letters BLJS then it's the Japanese version, if it starts with BLAS it's Asian.
