It doesn't really look all that hot in neutral, but you can extend combos from it. You can go with a Critical Fire Punch into Flight Stance > Air Slash into Flight Stance > Upwards Flare Blitz. Alternatively, you can "land" after air Slash (ie don't hold Y, just press it) and go into a Seismic...

My main complaint about Phase Shifting is that, in general, Field Phase feels very bland to me. On Duel Phase you have both zoning and combos, but Field Phase seems to always either be a case of "I'll try to outzone you and keep on this phase forever" for characters that are good on it or "I'll...

Got myself up to C2 and now things are THOUGH. Had plenty of rank DOWN attempts on the last few ranks. But it's very satisfying to finally rank up when it happens! :)

They do affect online with no option of turning them off, actually.

oh, just from the Spreadsheet I couldn't tell we had the like of Insta-full Synergy Gauge on Pickups. LLooking at it now, I can see the info is there, so I probably didn't pay much attention the first time around. >_> I'm also pretty sure Shadow Colosseum doesn't show up online, which is why I...

One of the in-game tutorial DOES state that the Synergy Drops spawn differently in each stage, giving some examples that I can't remember. It doesn't say anything about the non-example stages, though. I guess the only difference really is in the drops. I'm curious about the criteria used to...

One suggestionI just thought for the OP: Something that is noted on the OP is that Psystrike deals more damage with accurate A presses, rather than mashing, but nowhere do you mention which timing people should aim for. From my testing, it seems like this is a good ballpark for the timings...

Isn't it better to simply go j.Y > j.X > Y,Y,Y,Y? (or any other option after j.X, you can do plenty of combos after that) You can pull a j.X after a sucessfull j.Y and it true combos, rather than being a 50/50.

Honestly, if you don't like Pokémon, I think it's better to not get the game. It's more of a love letter to those childhood dreams of seeing Pikachu punch Charizard IN THE FACE than anything else. I've never really played Tekken so I'm not sure how Tekken-like the game actually is.

To be fair, only scrubs ever complained about Little Mac, while we have Zero of all people whining about Bayonetta right now. So I don't think that analogy is anywhere near valid.

Oh, I thought it would give the +40% on a win rather than a loss. In that case, yeah, it doesn't sound too hot. :/ Standard seems much better in that case, as having a full support is much butter than +10% synergy in case of a win. I will try the Jirachi+Whimsicott combo with Special Cheering...

I'm going to be very honest, even it makes me seem dumb: I'm generally not too much into using Jirachi because I have no idea what Whimsicott actually does. :p What projectiles does it block? Jirachi DOES seem like an interesting option by buffing the Synergy Burst itself, though. I've also...

Some moves, notably counters, will also get a much longer hitstun when they're critical hit. Which is why so many dojo moves have the (Critical Hit) next to a move. You need the extra hitstun for those combos to work!

Oh, I only just now saw you asking about aerial Y! You can actually do Aerial X after that move if it connects and proceed into basic training mode combos from there. for example, Air Y > Air X > Ground Down X.X > Down A.A.A There's also @DoctorRotom's combo into Hyper Beam, which I'll try out...

It's not your fault that your opponents don't know about the Guard button, the jump button (hard against Fire Blast, but doable with good timing or characters that have air dashes) or about Counter Dash Cancelling. The game gives plenty of options to get around projectile spamming.
