Hello, fellow bat-mans. There was a 3v3 today over in Japan with 83 teams (249 players), and it was stacked. MAD, Minori, Damosu, Taihichi, Souji, Die Chan, YMST, Ougi, Mokke, Shikki, Hama, and like a bajillion god players were all there. Winning team was Unknown (S Junpei), Hina (S Junpei), Pet(Adachi). Pet only had play once, and Hina OCV'd YMST's team in GF.

2.0 Junpei Changes video.

Asked Hina's opnion regarding 2.0 Junpei, he says that he's definitely better this version but... Shadow Junpei seems stronger with all the system changes.

Shadow Junpei HP confirmed to be 10500, it was 11500 in the last version. Assuming all Shadows lost 1k HP.

Added all of Hina's notes to the first post! Not yet, but hopefully we will.

Just remember that, once you're in, there's no way out.

Updating the list as loketest happens.

*Note* - When browsing the Junpei Iori forums please follow the rules of the site, failure to do so will result in an Infraction. If you do not know the rules you can check them here -> Site Rules. Decided to make this so players can understand how this character works better. Junpei's Baseball mechanic is similar to Frank West's Levels in Marvel 3. Connecting specific moves will allow the character to get stronger. To do this, you'll need to pay attention to 5 things on the screen: Runs, Bases, Balls, Outs and Strikes. The most important is Runs. When he gets 10, he'll automatically go into Victory Cry Install, which gives him the following things: Clean Hits. With this, he can do longer and more damaging combos with his bat. HP Regeneration (Except when taking damage). SP Invigoration (Slower than Elizabeth's Invigorate). Once Victory Cry is activated, it stays active for the whole match. To get Runs, Junpei needs to get 3 Bases and hit his opponent with his bat. He will get 1 Run for every hit having all bases full. There's 3 ways to score a Base: - Hit your opponent with a bat move. For every attack, Junpei will get a base. If you do a combo with 3 swings, he'll get 3 bases. - Hit your opponent with a reflected projectile. Junpei can reflect most projectiles in the game with his bat and turn them into fireballs, for each of those you hit, Junpei gets 1 base. - Scoring 4 Balls. Junpei scores a ball by making the opponent block his bat. If you do a blockstring with 3 swings, he'll get 3 balls. OBS: Everytime Junpei gets a Base, Strikes and Balls reset. No player is perfect though, if Junpei gets hit or even fails to hit his opponent, he'll be punished with an Out. There's also 3 ways to receive an Out: - Taking damage. Junpei will receive an Out everytime he's in hitstun. Different from Bases and Balls, he can only get 1 Out per combo. - Getting thrown. It's important to note that Junpei will receive an Out even if he escape the throw. - Scoring 3 Strikes: Junpei receives a Strike everytime he whiffs a bat move. OBS: Receiving 1 Out, Balls will reset. Receiving 3 Outs, everything will reset except for Runs. Only Runs carry over between rounds. He starts with 0 and can go all the way to 55. He has 3 SP Skills that can definitely help him with this because of their ability to score Homeruns. When he gets one, he will get Runs for every base filled + Junpei himself. After 10 Runs, the following ones will boost damage in some Special Moves/Supers and improve HP/SP Regeneration. Each time Junpei scores 10 Runs (20, 30, 40 etc) his regen will get faster. At 30 Runs, his SP Invigorate is as fast as Elizabeth's for example. To wrap it up: Your main focus as Junpei should be getting the first 10 Runs to use Clean Hits as soon as possible. It's good to keep increasing them for HP/SP regeneration though, don't miss any opportunities to do so.

Long Range: j.D, j.2D, 2D, Deathbound, Bat attacks to reflect projectiles. Mid Range: j.B, j.C, 5B, 5C, 2C, Sweep. Close Range: j.B, j.A, 5A, 5AA, 2A, 5B, 2B, Sweep. That's basically what you want to use depending on where you are.

It has been answered before, but the colors mean your "skill". They go from: white, blue, green, light green, yellow, orange and red if I remember correctly. White is the color you get when starting, which is "undentified". Blue is the weakest and red is the strongest. You level up your color when fighting (and winning) against people of the same color/stronger color.

SuperOast already answered the first question but I'd like to add: The thing with the D version is that it freezes the screen for more time, allowing you to swing with A or C for the Homerun. The speed of the swing is basically the same as the other ones. As for the second question, you can do that by using the B clean hit with 236236A/B, then going for 214214CD. The only problem with this is that it's combo dependant. Longer combos won't let you connect 214214CD even if you do get the clean hit on 236236A/B. Honestly, I never go for these. The extra damage from 236236A/B clean hit is really small and will make you lose 50 SP over nothing. Just go directly into 214214CD if you want big damage.

This auto correct only happens with the D version as far as I remember. Meaning, if you jump and air turn j.214D, Trismegistus will appear in the direction Junpei's facing. Using j.214C, he's still going to fall in the direction Junpei was before. I'm not 100% sure though.
