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 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 TH-cam(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.
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.
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.
The upside to playing Sho is that most people are thinking about Tsukuyomi options when you don't have them.
Sho = I'm racist
Minazuki = NOW I'M BEYOND RACIST!

Sworddom instead of boredom cuts to the soul it's beautiful
Was the cutting part a sword pun?
@@keyuke06 I'm guessing you're not the sharpest if you missed that.
@@Blu_Moon_VA I didn’t. I literally called it out in my comment. But you’re probably not the sharpest if you can’t read.
@@keyuke06 I'm sorry, it was meant to be another pun, no insult was intended.
@@Blu_Moon_VA No worries, all is forgiven.

Option C: play both just to fuck with people
Done
Who do you play?
Sho minazuki.
Which one?
Sho minazuki.
@@Chara4Lyfe79wow that’s how I play Sho Mikazuki
Oh my God, some of this mix-up is hellish. Like 2:07, I got hit my that 100%.
I still prefer Sho, he's more of a traditional anime fighting game character with a fuckton of mix, which I prefer
well you cant have a showdown with minazuki
yes, but you can still have sho-time
Can't wait to try this game out when it releases
so in case anyone is wondering Sho Minazuki is voiced by Todd haberkorn and not nux

I'm on team Sho because the best mix ups are the ones you frustrate your opponent into falling for.
I actually like Sho better too. Always been a cross up fan.

1:55 to 2:20 .
LLLLET'S GET READY TO MIIIIIIX!
No seriously that 4-way mix is reactable but fucking terrifying in the right hands.
I wonder if we ever got a sequel they'd straight up axe Sho, cus of Awakened Sho existing now and such.

1:19 how does that even make sense? How can kanji really that much damage in one attack?

or you could just play junpei he has baseball meter :)
Don't get me started on that damn baseball meter. ArcSys are truly... experimental.
I'm sure my baseball friends that have never heard of this gane could probably break down and understand that Junpei unique system better than I can.
Watching these in preparation for the PS4 port 😁
I heard spot dodge and as a videl main in fighter z it sold me to play sho
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 ?
I don't mind at all! Makes me happy, actually. Gotta get guides out to as many as possible!
Persona and Nosona
do you have a guide on the instant overhead for 2.5?
Sorry for the late reply. It still works like this: th-cam.com/video/vN_w9eApKm4/w-d-xo.html
>they removed the need to kara cancel sb metsuga in 2.0
me when I spread misinformation
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
it's SHOtime 🤡
Sho is Young Joseph, so he is the best character in the game.
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)

This is just an advertisement to make me a Sho main isn't it? You sho know how to make a guy interested.
0:57
Does seem like this combo works anymore, even on Yu, did they lower the Jb's hitbox?
Super late response but no, they took away that j.B loop and it doesn't work on anybody anymore
How exactly do you choose the one with the persona? I can only play with the persona-less Sho
Thank you
Commenting for the algorithm
You can Super cancel DPs in this game, wha da fuq???
Picked Minazuki cuz I ain't Unique
Nice vid I'll drop a sub
Thank you!
Waiting for the moment Sho comes to BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle...
still waiting.................
They both should have been dlc characters.
ehhhhhh why lol
@@DazIsBambo because of how powerful they are lol
@Amer Yaser good idea
