I know this site isn't that much focused anymore, but will the icons be fixed soon?

100% this

Twitter and discord plays a huge favor not only in the match up boards but the site in general. I feel people are moving are moving to those since, like Monarch said, it is also instant response and not hope that someone that knows the MU checks the forums everyday just to see my message.

It will be one day again but it will be after CEOtaku and Persona 5 will already be out in Japan so I know people had said this time and time again but this is truly the time to either put up or shut up. Either say it isn't coming or say it is they going to have to say SOMETHING cause for 2 years now they been going back and forward on the option. I mean they could just say nothing but then I think that will just confirm it is not happening anytime soon.

Future Locadtions For anybody curious. Filled Dots mean they exist and non filled is planned (also need to be added is that the on in Texas is up and running) Opening time / Store nameJuly 2016 Sun Valley shop / California Concord2017 New Year around South West shop / Colorado Littleton2017 New Year around Stone Crest shop / Georgia Lithonia2017 around spring Broadway store / New York Hicksville2017 around spring Exton shop / ExtonAutumn 2017 Kanto area

It isn't only in San Jose but there is a good bit on the west coast (especially in Cali) and in Texas but they are extending to other regions like NY and Georgia so while it isn't huge it is cool for the players that have the opportunity.

you heard right. Only one Round 1 is confirmed so far, but it is a good thing for people who wanna play it still.

Glad you enjoy the game! There is still a community within the Junes Lobby and some online tournaments you are welcome to join!

I can't really say much for comboing into cross slash, but the best way (for me) to combo after it with 2b is when you can do 2B is when you see Yu start moving his foot back into his natural stance. I been using it for the past few months and it's been effective. Now on the subject of Shadow Yu, while he is more a play around type of character he is really effective just for the fact that he is still Yu, one of the top tiers in the game, so you can't go wrong. The biggest thing is when deciding either or not to play the character really just come down to what you prefer. Are you willing to give up a escape from combos and damage for more meter gain with a chance to do a lot of burst damage later? In 2.0 that questions differs a bit but this is where we are at right now. Hopefully these answered a bit of your questions

My idea is like with the kind of a approach with the submit a tip like for a certain thread (using combos for example) if someone found a combo they can make a post as part of a google database (or anything else too keep like a list), later the mods can review the content and categorize it into the apporiate area making it easier to find the information for the forums for mods and to keep discussions purely on discussion and not posting combos you have to search 5 pages to find.

For reposting information on the old forums do you want them to be in a hidden content tab or left in the open?

A knockdown is very dangerous to any player and more so a yu player as a single combo can do 2.5k on even a bad day. So players will try to get out of pressure at any cost so just look at their habits and give them a few monments to see how they will react. Will they dp, or will they block cause if its the later you will have time to start that pressure you learned. Also yukari's arrows are a really hard to deal with and really hard to combat. Personally kind of like yukiko's fans I just wait till I find a opening cause if they try to fire arrows while you are close you can hit even if a orb is out. Anytime where else I would just block as they don't do much damage and is really there to piss you off and to get you to making a mistake (like trying to slide when she's in the air ready to snipe you). Just take your time and find those openings. P.S 214A/B isnt a really good combo ender as it kills meter and doesnt give you a safe jump. So 214A/B should be more a shock factor then a actual move you use all the time.

Hey! Glad you took a interest into yu. Most of narukami mixups and pressure comes from staggering his 5a 2a 5a. The only worry is them blocking all of the stagger so adding throws will make their more likely to press buttons which can lead to counter hits and momentum on your side, but then adds the idea of the dp if they dont respect you or just dont wanting to take the mixup. If you feel they are going to dp bait it and punish telling them to think twice about trying it again. Generally your gameplan with yu is to get the knockdown either by 214c or 214b as your combo ender then use safejumps and pressure to make them either respect and block or take a gamble to get out. So learning safe jumps, basic mixups and combos that end with 214c or 214b should point you in the right direction. Here is a mixup thread that a good friend of mine made http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/10407-p4au-yu-narukami-pressuremixup-theory-thread/ these are basic mixup and pressure tools that you can use to add to your game. Hope this helps! P.S Using j.214b and sb swift strike is generally not good in neutral in general stick to zio (not in this case as maziodyne can easily beat it) and your pokes (5a, 5b, 2b for anti air) to gain the upper hand. Only use swift strike if you can quick react to a raw maziodyne by liz as it will be a free counter hit.

As many of you may already know NesicaxLive has showed up at Round 1 in Puente Hills, Ca meaning 2.0 is reached in US (in a weird kind of way)! So anybody close in the area theres your chance! Go out and support your scene!

Really late into the game's life cycle but this could be useful to somebody. So for the longest time doing the basic b raging lion OMC into 5b with some characters, while other characters do not get hit. To test i tried it on Maragret and found she is unable to get by a 5b, meanwhile testing on teddie (one of if not the shortest character in the game) hits him just fine. This lead to me trying the combo on everybody to see who gets hit. Characters who can get hit by 5b after B Raging Lion ShoNaotoTeddieYukikoNarukami (of course)Yosuke KanjiMinazuki (makes sense)Ken alone (more details at the end)LabrysMitsuruAigisAdachiAkihikoShadow Labrys Characters who can NOT get hit by 5b after B Raging Lion Margaret ChieMarieYukariElizabethJunpei (okay not gotta lie...this is the most surpising)Rise Ken and Koromaru One of the weirder tests I had to do is with Ken and Koromaru. You see Ken is defined in the characters who can get hit but since Koro is such a factor in the match he can directly change you combo. If you hit Koro with b lion he will take a shock from the hit allowing ken to tech if he as well was hit making him a human shield (or animal shield), but if you hit ken and koro with anymove and followup into b lion koro will be on the ground allowing you to followup with 5b respectively (same goes if Koro is away from Ken as he doesnt move while Ken is blocking/taking damage. This isn't just cause of the combo either its part of their design hitboxes on the slide animation (your 5b is hitting Margaret's foot but it still whiffing) (this is a guess im not 100% sure why it doesnt work on obivous characters). This is again to help anybody passing by the narukami threads and hope to bring life back into this character.

But they just put out the ultimate edition on psn and xbl not too long ago with everything. So really dont see them making a new disc just for a patch and adding nothing to the table than just a added story and songs which can both be added as dlc.

But the forum recognition (and im guessing recognition as in the awards correct me if im wrong) hasnt been used since may of this year and before that some of them are as old as a year. Personally rankings/some way to track people progress would be nice cause that gives people a incentive to keep playing. Seeing a friend or rival go up in the ranking make you want to get stronger and get to where they are. Just could be something after we work on the main issues, but something like that could bring in new life into the communities.

More Shikki Matches https://youtu.be/ML-hmDVWdFoTahichi (Margaret) https://youtu.be/Lpx1GdhehMkOkusan (Sho)

yeah its shikki

Cool just hit me up if you need anything.

Definitly looking forward to going to my first tourney. Are there any side tournies we will be doing that weekend?

(Someone correct me if Im wrong, which I am probably am) None of narukami's normals will beat 5a with its speed and range. Even 5a wont beat it, so you just have to block. 2a can beat his 2a,5b,and 2b can beat 2a on reaction and 2b can beat j.b if its not a safe jump. The thing with minazuki is his buttons are so large in terms of mid/close range that if you press anything you are putting yourself at risk. Hopely this happens and/or people that know the match up better can explain in more detail.
