So I was told that UK won't be getting any of the DLC?
Is this as big as a crock of poo poo as it sounds like or do ATLUS really hate EU to such an absurd point.

Does anybody play this on pad, and if so how long does it take to get used to it?

I decided to pick it up on ps3, but I will unfortunately not have a stick that's compatible with the ps3 until, hopefully, some time in November or December. I tried doing some of the challenges and the input requirements seem way too precise for me to actually perform on a pad, should I just give up until I get a stick?

I use a pad and the challenges are hard but not impossible. With enough practice I don't have much trouble getting the inputs right. I use a stock PS3 controller, I keep meaning to get the old ps1 style controller with no analog sticks but, yknow, :effort:

I was comparing it to SSF4, which is much more babby mode. At least it's way easier for me to do double qcf/qcb in that than P4AU.

Thankee kindly.
Yukiko, Ken and Shadow Labrys are the worst parts of using a pad, everyone else is perfectly fine and using a pad shouldn't deter you from using those three if you like them.

Yukiko is actually who I was trying to use. I'll just keep trying and see if I get used to it. I know I'm going to end up going back to stick once I get one, but I can at least play through the story mode or something until then.

I'm just saying I remember having less trouble with the inputs in SSF4. :shrug:

Maybe it's because I was playing more fighting games back then and I'm rusty now.

Your plastic pal who's fun to be with!
that's doubly awful because the characters and everything else are sitting there on the disc and the only reason they snipped it all out in the first place was to actually turn a profit off a niche fighting game based on a niche jrpg. not giving everyone at least some access to it is hella lovely, don't be like capcom, atlus!!

Idk what the hell to do in the corner there, I tried wake up dodging, blocking, anything other than an AoA won't work and now that you anticipate it I just get caught in the corner and hosed on

The one thing I really feel I'm good at in fighting games is reading someone after I get a second knockdown, and the part I struggle with is getting to that point in the first place.

I should probably play rushdown characters :v:

Try neutral jumping occasionally. Staying on the ground makes it easier for me to grapple you to death, but random neutral jumps gently caress me up.

edit:I don't know if I'm actually doing Kanji's real wake up game, but the way I see him if I think you'd gonna stay on the ground I have three options. I can attempt to meaty EX throw if I think you're gonna hit a button or block, DP if I think you're gonna hit a button or roll, and try to hitconfirm off one meaty A if I think you're gonna hit a button or AoA. DP seems to cover AoA against labrys, which makes this whole thing evne easier.. Conversely, I have to predict a neutral jump specifically or get owned. My options for that also don't cover other bases like my ground options do.

I might be playing Kanji wrong and this might get you owned by other players, though :shrug:

That makes sense. Part of the problem is that I only recently bought a stick for the first time. It helped a ton getting moves to come out over the old PS3 controller I was using but it hosed up my jump ability, and Labrys lives in that air dash state, so I need to get better at that

practice makes perfect I suppose

Dear lord, when I first got a stick my jumps went to poo poo. I had so much trouble with IAD's and not neutral jumping all the time.

It's seriously miserable. But I think the stick overall is gonna help, as long as I play a lot with it. I like it a lot more than playing with a pad

Margaret v Kanji is the most painful matchup as a grappler I've ever played outside of Hugo. The spear and fullscreen low make all of your anti-zoning tools an outright stupid idea to use, so approaching from the ground is impossible without prescient rolls. Once you do get in, if she tags you with anything you're back at fullscreen.


edit:ggs i got really salty really fast after I got a loving charge instead of air throw, and then my next air throw threaded the loving needle

I can normally command throw overheads on reaction but I couldn't do it loving once tonight I want to die

Sorry Pomp, that was really late for me so I went to bed right after we got done fighting. Ggs. Wasn't sure if you wanted to keep trying the Margaret match or not, so I decided to try some of my other characters.
