GroovyMango Report post Posted January 31, 2014 It's one of the easier ones to bait, not having a hitbox above his waist. A lot of characters who have jC's that hold them in the air can iajC, activate it and punish, since it's punishable on activation.

OutlawVinegar Report post Posted January 31, 2014 No. It's good, better than the average (imo better than Liz, Labrys, and Naoto, slightly better than Akihiko, Yukiko, and Aigis) but it's not one of the best in the game. Using P4A versions as examples, Narukami's does better damage, allows him to set up oki, is aerial enabled (and 4f in midair, making it one of the fastest air moves in the game), ground version is air unblockable, is Super cancelable to allow for a really stupid 50/50 (will I do Ziodyne/Cross Slash to punish your punish, or will we play the guessing game?), and oftentimes clashes with attacks if it doesn't beat them, allowing him to jA mash to avoid being punished hard. Off the top of my head, no other character's DP reasonably clashes with anything in actual gameplay, I've only seen Labrys/Shabrys/Aki do it in combo videos. Chie's is also aerial-enabled, does dumb Chie damage, can Fatal in Power Charge, Super-cancelable to let her combo midscreen with Power Charge > stuff or Meteors, and gives her a combo + Chie vortex in the corner. Mitsuru throws a box at you that gives her the stupidest 'Super/no Super' 50/50 in the game (Bufudyne beats jumps/frontal punishes, Myriad Arrows beats rolls to punish Bufudyne), aerial-enabled, essentially gives her about half-screen corner carry if she does CH DP> Bufu> B droit, and eats crossups, crossunders, and isn't punishable on block by Yukiko without taking considerable risk. Yosuke's... as Mango said, does half the damage of the average, is completely blockable, cannot be Super-canceled, cannot kill, and causes 'hard' knockdown that can't be converted into a combo except in very specific circumstances (people falling into the last few active frames of the trip). You know which other DPs can't be Super-canceled? Liz's, Naoto's, and Teddie's. Which other ones can't kill? Just Liz's. Being able to draw multiple similarities between one character's DP and Elizabeth's isn't a good thing. I think Yosuke's DP is pretty much fine as it is, tbh. It could be worse; Kanji's DP doesn't even get the opponent off of him half the time, and Labrys effectively doesn't have a reversal. But at the same time, I'd like for it to get one buff; either make it Super-cancelable, or allow it to kill. Preferably the latter, as I think all DPs should only be Super-cancelable on hit (not block). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RurouniLoneWolf Report post Posted January 31, 2014 um, I'm pretty sure Narukami's DP can be punished 100% of the time by crossing over to his other side and Mitsuru's DP can be punished 100% of the time by punishing her before she touches the ground (None of her supers are Air OK). This is just my opinion but yeah, Yosuke's DP is pretty good. Not the best but still among one of the better ones. Chie and Yosuke DP are pretty much equally as good but not quite as good as Narukami and Mitsuru's DP. I'd actually rate Chie's DP a little lower than Yosuke's DP because its easier to trigger her counterattack in ways that she'll just completely whiff.

Lucalibur Report post Posted January 31, 2014 um, I'm pretty sure Narukami's DP can be punished 100% of the time by crossing over to his other side and Mitsuru's DP can be punished 100% of the time by punishing her before she touches the ground (None of her supers are Air OK). These are true. Yu's DP is your average shoryuken which already makes it one of the best in the game but also easy as hell to punish, while Mitsuru's is even easier to punish but it can catch crossups. I think Yosuke's DP, for its intended purpose, is pretty damn good. It ain't the best in the game by any means, but it sets itself apart by having many active frames both for its catch and the actual attack. Yosuke also loves a hard knockdown, though admittedly I do find it weird it can't kill and even though I don't play Yosuke, I think that should be fixed. Other than that his DP is just fine, I don't think it should be unblockable or anything so allowing it to kill the enemy rather than leave them at 1 HP is probably the only thing that could be changed about it without making it stupid.

Pssych Report post Posted January 31, 2014 Just tossing out some facts: Yosuke's DP, when triggered, has a 2f start up. It's active for 47 frames. (That's a long time) Frames 1-31 are invul. That's why it is how it is. Picture if Yosuke could combo/super off his DP...Every easy DP catch would be damage. I do agree with the not being about to kill thing....but when you look at frames it makes sense. If you want it to be better...it would have to be nerfed too.

GroovyMango Report post Posted February 1, 2014 Chie can get damage off her DP on CH even in this game, why dis they think that's okay? I don't get why this character is still shafted in terms of his DP activation. Even if you make chie's dp whiff, it's extremely hard to get a solid punish since she recovers so quickly, first hit is unblockable too for no reason aaaaah. I just don't understand their idea of the dp balance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't understand their idea of the dp balance. Chie can only combo off of it in the corner iirc. It is hard to punish, yes, but this DP only stays active for 3F. Sure, you can mash, but everytime you mash, you get that portion of blue HP which can lead to your death if you're not careful. I'm not really trying to defend it though, I think this DP is pretty good all things considered. Just pointing out some things. Also, the first hit needs to be blocked low, it isn't unblockable.

SwordsNStuff Report post Posted February 2, 2014 Yosuke has the best dp in the game because he trips you up and smiles about it. He doesn't care about extra damage off his dp, his goal is to make a fool out of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ohno Report post Posted March 10, 2014 Does anyone know if anything from P4A's Sukukaja is still there? Most players only seem to use Sukukaja for combos so I never see it used in neutral anymore, minus the 5A teleport reset stuff. For example, I know 2C doesn't launch anymore. I'd particularly like to know if his air moves still cancel into each other (like Moonsault > j.AB) and if j.2C/D > special still works? ... Or did they give that to Shadow Yosuke...

I only know about the change on 2C but all these are probably still in. It's no surprise players don't use it in neutral since the duration is much shorter now, they need to get that hit fast to make it worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pssych Report post Posted March 10, 2014 So, in P4U2, His actions (4 air actions instead of 3, invisible dash, faster normals) are generally the same. However, 2C doesn't launch them backwards anymore, Kunai becomes air action cancelable (according to Ringo), V Slasher seems to either reset air actions or adds some.

Pssych Report post Posted March 12, 2014 Also, some other bits of news: If you watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxrjqD6Sdf0 closely, you see Yosuke do things like: 236A > Air 236AB > Air 236A~A > Air 236C > j2C 236AB > Air 236A~A x2> Air 236C > j2C If you count, that's 4 air actions outside of Sukukaja. How is this being done? Apparently Moonsault have their own usage counter now. No matter what, Yosuke can do 3 moonsaults (4 in Sukukaja) while only j2C/D, Kunai and V Slasher count as air actions (which he still has 3 of). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
