GGs everyone, especially Timeless_Act. Such a good S.Yukiko, it makes me jealous...

Yes~ These guys just never stop, do they?

GGs to all I played today. If you need some Yukiko experience, you know where to find me.

Can we all just take this time to establish that GUY_9997 is pretty much one of the coolest, skilled-est Aigis players ever? His focus, drive and sportsmanship is something I truly admire about him too. What an all-around great guy. Feel free to expose me anytime lol

susano!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

GGs to all Remind me never to fight in 0 bar connections again

GGs to everyone. It's been a WHILE since I played this game Compared to P4U2, this game is just more relaxing to play for me and doesn't feel "cheap" in terms of mechanics. I don't even mind losing many times in a row being that this game is just fun to really get into (and this is coming from a Chaos player, lol). I just hope that once I get back into the swing of things, I'll be a competent player who can at least give you a run for your money with some enjoyable fights.

If I can add another piece of advice, once you find your character, find a Skype group! I find that they're really dedicated to learning all about their characters, as well as their matchups and overall strengths and weaknesses. You might also make a few good friends, and that's always delightful. Some characters don't have Skype groups, however, or if they do it's pretty much dead, so if you have to, create a Skype group and promote it here. You should get responses in no time.

GGs to everyone. Collectively speaking, everyone clearly's getting better at P4AU, and I keep getting left in the dust :o

GGs to all I've played thus far, especially Aguro! Despite the super poor connection, it was super cool to fight a JP God! If he goes to EVO I'll definitely root for him Looking towards the day I fight him in person!

GGs to everyone I played. I owe it to myself to devote myself to improvements and flesh out my Yukiko to perfection (though, that might just lead me to relearning the fundamentals again such as neutral, OS, fuzzy guarding, etc.) Got caught up in some drama again this week and it sucked. It was a bad vibe all-around and I had trouble sleeping that night. But I woke up well-rested, and with a help of a few friends I feel confident enough to keep trying in spite of my setbacks. ...I also haven't forgot about those people who stepped on me and shittalked me at that place, and I won't forgive you.

That definitely goes without saying. I've just learned now that it seems more respectable to learn to deal with it rather than cave in and pick it, since it's always satisfying to watch someone honorable overcome literal bullshit. That's just me, though. I just only hope there'll be such moments in the future...

Most of them will have to regress and start learning an update patch they've long forgotten. What a slap in the face for them. This also means US players aren't getting that patch anytime soon, I do suspect less JP players will be less interested because of this, and that just makes P4U2 @ EVO look bad in the long run.

In other words, 2.0 tried to delete a lot of gimmicky, cheap shit for every character, and unknowingly added some new ones for certain characters. Duly noted.

ggs to Axis just now. I wasn't happy with those mistakes I made (like 5A not coming out after I roll Ken's 236A, wakeup super intending to knock out Koromoaru and giving me equal ground and not realizing the actual consequences that came with that), but it at the very least helps me on how to deal with the Ken matchup. it especially isn't smart considering that Ken (like everyone else) can straight-up DP through Yukiko's wakeup supers like it's nothing so I need to learn how to actually respect the opponent and just block on wakeup (my defense is terrible, anyways)

GGs to everyone I've played...so much for that hiatus lol. It's nice to be back though. I'm always looking to improve myself (and hopefully expose top level players as the punk-ass manchildren they really are) so feel free msg me for a set online sometime :D

I wonder who is that Yukiko player in particular? I'm noticing his signature colors a lot in these vids.

GGs to everyone I've played these months. I've decided to take a hiatus from P4U2 in order to to work on myself and my personal flaws, because I've noticed I've just been really mean to people in situations that don't even call for it, and that's just not cool. I won't get into it like it's a life story, but I'd like to apologize to everyone I was rude to in the past. That's not me, or at least someone I want to become. As corny as it sounds I wish all my fellow Yuki players success and encouragement and I hope the P4U2 community stays thriving and busy by the time 2.0 (eventually) hits consoles! :D

Does anybody know how to upload a replay fro Ranked match to your profile?

Nobody was comparing anything. I just don't like it when people say "we just need to learn to deal with it" when referring to OP characters/mechanics in general. How embarrassing I didn't process that. Chalk that up to more reason to play as a Shadow. Oh, it must've been combo rate I was thinking of. Anyway I hear what you're saying, but just know I still have my doubts, because this isn't the first time a character I liked rose up from speculation due to buffs, got my hopes up, and then fell way back down to where they were after some time of playing (Makoto from both games you're thinking of right now). In the majority's eyes I assumed they believe she's gotten strong, but not that strong. Despite my personal accords when it comes to other people's judgment I'm VERY skeptical about this, which is why I need to stop talking on this (as I am wont to do all day) and see if people's speculation on 2.0 Yukiko holds true after some time. To save an argument, I'm just going to assume that if you want to play a certain character offensively more in 2.0, pick Shadow-type. If you want to play defensively, simply pick the Normal-type from now on. Right? I'm not 100% with this (and I never will be) but if I consider things to be like that then I can stomach the bullshit that comes with it. I also realized that I am very hard on my character ;_; it's only because i love her to bits, and cannot stand people to get the wrong idea or impression that she's a bad character...she really isn't and I cannot stress this enough. However, I'm also not going to let people think she's good for all the wrong reasons. I want to assume the best and believe everything I hear about Yukiko, but I just know better than to do that. (And by that, I am referring to opinions and early speculation as opposed to frame data, buffs/nerfs and technicalities.)

Everytime I hear this from someone, I think of Vanilla Kokonoe and Chizuru from Aquapazza (before you laugh play Manaka vs. Chizuru 20 times and tell me how you feel afterwards) get extremely irritated.

Oh, right...I forgot Shadow-types now have less health than their counterparts for some reason. Even still, that doesn't really change my stance on things. Like Red; it just feels more probable to play Smitsuru now just like it would basically make sense for me to start playing Syukiko now simply because Shadows are altered to be equal to normal-types and I don't think it's supposed to work like that on numerous reasons. The fact that Shadow Junpei is far more viable than regular Junpei in 2.0 should be an indication that something's entirely wrong. Usually I'd assume they would raise up/fall down one tier with each patch but I guess Yukiko and Labrys hit the jackpot this coming patch. Personally, even given the buffs she had, she'll most likely stay in her tier, if not, rise slightly a little higher. She still has her universal problems that is going to give her troubles in matchups (no decent reversal, 5A is still considerably slow, etc.), people forget that that 5AAA reset is a huge nerf (kinda like how Yosuke lost his glide), and her combo rate actually went down, meaning she now deals less damage in general. She has great buffs but considering her nerfs as well, they mostly cancel each other out. At the same time, I don't think Yukiko is the lowest of the low by far (she certainly can hold her own against most characters with tricks and strategies few people know about it seems :/ she has what I call "frustrating" matchups). TL;DR version: I just find it really weird that in 1.1, a character that stooped so low would go on to place (apparently) high mid-tier in 2.0, even given the buffs and nerfs. It's like Chaos from UNiEL now being on par with Eltnum or something in the next patch. It's really weird.

That's the thing, though. Shadow-type characters were never, EVER meant to be normalized. It's scary because you know a lot of JP players complained about Shadow mechanics during the loketest, but I guess people didn't understand what that really meant for some characters. The fact Shadow Mitsuru can kill people without having to Shadow Frenzy strikes as something very odd to me. Let's say for example, this was the case with Syukiko. If Shadow Yukiko was able to kill people without having to resort to Shadow mechanics, then what is the point of playing Yukiko, or even having her there in the first place? Is it the damage she deals will be 10% greater? That sounds largely insignificant. Like PK said, by "normalizing" Shadow-types (not to mention adding in stronger features, such as being unable to burst during Shadow Frenzy whatsoever), there's literally no reason to play their counterparts at all, especially new characters like Rise, Junpei and Yukari. It isn't hard to tell, but I find this to be a HUGE problem. I'm sure they tried to fix this for weaker S-types like Saigis, Sken, Steddie and such, but with the alleged exception of Shadow Ken, these Shadows are still largely useless compared to Schie/Smitsuru. On a side note, if these speculated JP tier lists prove to be true, it'll be very amusing to see who drops Narukami for someone else and who they drop him for. VERY amusing. On a side side note, Anne I never got to say my piece on that tier list you and the others made, and though you had commendations on it, I'm partially vexed since Yukiko is at the lowest of the low on the chart, considering the many things she can do and the damage output she can put out in 1.1, but it's too late to put my spin on it now. I only bring this up because I am outright dumbfounded at the fact that she and Labrys are collectively considered (not just you three) to be so low in 1.1, but then in JP tier charts, they're quite up there in 2.0. Somehow that doesn't make sense to me.

GGs to everyone I fought annnnnnnnnd... Happy Valentine's Day!

ggs to everyone if netplay was a person I would do 'em in the conservatory with a pipe
