Man I love Sho, hes one of my fave Persona characters to be honest Also his dance from Persona Dancing is so good the way they portrayed both him and Minazuki is awesome
Don't forget that Sho's Seiyuu was in Kamen RIder Den'o! and 5A got nerfed twice because Sho was slapping people going full unga bunga so they forgot how to block. "Hey this persona-less character has a really good tool to start combos stings! How about we nerf it to hell so it becomes useless?"
I prefer Minazuki just cuz I love the Persona mechanics that make this game feel special, and his combos and explosive damage fill me with dopamine. But those Sho mixups are affronts to the world.
I just started picking up Sho about a week ago and been having a lot of fun with the mixes. Any resources you could point me to for optimized combos or other info?
I can really only recommend checking the Dustloop wiki for combos or looking up SHO combos on RU-vid(especially if you're gonna play 2.0). I don't have any specific resources unfortunately...
Part of what I hated about P4AU when it first came out was the immense amount of players who would only play Yu, Sho, or Minazuki. Same issue as Smash w/ Fire Emblem where you're just bound to go against sword characters to the point that Online becomes predictable and therefore exhausting - largely in part because no one really understood how to effectively play those characters. Glad to see a lot more guide content with this new release but please: Play someone you genuinely like instead.
As someone who's never played either (on account of not even having the game lol), it's interesting how they made Sho more than just Persona-less-Minazuki. Also huge normals and near-impossible-to-react-to mixups? Yes please.
It's his awakening command grab super, course it does a ton of damage, In addition it was done on Elizabeth, who is tied for the lowest health in the game at 8000
i still cant decide which one to play (ive been meaning to get into this game for ages), but considering they share a lot of moves i might as well just learn both of them
hello daz great vid btw, i was wondering if i can translate some of what you said in the vid about sho in my character overview(its in arabic to be exact) if u don't mind ?
ill never understand why its Minatsuki (皆月) in japanese but Minazuki in english. also you sold me on Sho but minazuki is def better & more annoying so 🤔.. why not both
Also sho is the only character with no instant kill. Meaning he is missing a universal option. At least it’s not an important one. (Unless instant kills were actually useful in this game unlike guilty gear where you would only hit them when fighting bots)
A few IKs like Junpei's and Adachi's are decent punishes, if your opponent does something stupid like cancelling Yu's DP into Ziodyne and you read it. But Minazuki's is pretty trash even in that regard, so overall, not missing much on that front.
