I Am The Shadow... The True Self... [General Discussion]

I'm talking about 8T, her jumping throw.

No one has used her 8T at all yet, though.

If it's anything like Kasumi's, it's not that good. Very unsafe and gimmicky.

I'll post a video later, you'll see it's kinda different.

For me she jumps a lot higher than Kasumi.

Looks about the same as Kasumi. Might be farther, though.

Edit: Just went into training with Kasumi. It's the same height and distance.

BTW Team Ninja told that they'll will announce something later today, so it will probably be P4's release date.

Jumping throws are just there to look cool bruh. Even the jumping OHs are mostly useless! But I like that P4's doubles as an ender, kinda reminds me of Natsu.

Except you got Natsu's off of a low unblockable that's almost impossible to react to

I like jumping throws. But Alpha 8T>Kasumi 8T any day of the week. I'm very disappointed that Phase 4's 8T is like Kasumi's. I was hoping to see more Alpha-like things so I could have used her as an extension to my main in DOA5U.

We will see what happens on launch, but tbh TN is killing all the hype they created for this character.

 

[J.D.E.]

For those who keep saying "90% Kasumi", no, she's not. She is 9/12/12 starting out with a little less of her lows. She's like 45 to 50% of what Kasumi is. Even her frame data is different.

 

[Nightpup]

Phase-4 has a couple original moves too, such as her 1PP. I've never seen that on anyone else and it looks awesome.

 

[J.D.E.]

Her juggles are pretty beast though. I'm going to give her a go & see how decent she is. More than likely I'll use the DOA2U red or black ninja suit. I think she'll be a lot more viable than what some people think in here on & offline. The things that concern me now are her stun & launch game & how much advantage does she carry on block (& can she teleport into it). Going to be interesting.

Edit: And NO this doesn't change a thing. I'm not dropping Kasumi (& never will). She's still my main.

 

[Nightpup]

Fun fact: That's actually not Kasumi's DOA2U ninja suit. It's actually Ayane's, just recolored. You can tell by the gloves and fishnet sides.

 

[PMS_Akali]

I guess what will make her really good will depend on how fast she can launch and get some of those good damaging juggles. Her single strikes are weak like Kasumi's. So she'll have to risk the stun game a lot.

 

[Nightpup]

She'll be a one hit launch character. Stun with 6P, launch with 3H+K, 6PKP+K, T. Easy damage.

Yeah, was already thinking that would be my main B&B combo.

 

[Nightpup]

Or even maybe just 6PKP+K, T. Don't even need to use a separate launcher if 6PK launches.

Probably. Looks like she can P+K T from any height.

Did you see this in a video? I ask because according to pdf she doesn't have 3H+K. Anyway you probably could play her like that but I'd rather go for style points and annoy my opponent with those constant whooshes.

 

[Nightpup]

33K then. Stun, 33K, 4P, 9KP+K, T.
