Lovin her right now! Her DP is godlike! She’s a lot like a season 1 character to me. Straight forward does a ton of damage. Knocked it outta the park with this one IG!!

Also…I forgot to add…THAT ULTRA ENDER. Definitely the best in the game.

Her DP really lacks, it will trade with lot of attacks, like maya’s daggers, so you can’t use it as a wake up vs her

Does that apply to her Shadow DP as well?

Should I really buy her?

This character took me from not touching ranked for months to fighting my way to Killer in the course of a day. And I really don’t like playing ranked.

She’s worth every penny.

I’m enjoying her so far, was in the lab seeing what she can do. I’m definitely going to learn her

Edit: her rekka cancel thing is so fun

Still haven’t tested her out, but isn’t her heavy DP fully invulnerable on startup?

She’s really cool and I like her, but I just can not play her.

That’s how I feel about Sadira.
I love her entire theme, her aesthetics, her story etc., but I am so bad at playing as her. Her gameplay style is not for me, but I still think she’s a really cool character, so it kinda saddens me that I have so much trouble with her.

I havent checked in the lab but i tried to no avail to use it as a wake up vs Maya i ate daggers everytime.

That said she has the amazing Shadow Spirit Slice, it does almost no damage but is basically a full screen lightning fast opener, although it travels horizantally so it can’t go through fireballs, but will k.o. Gargos minions.

And the Shadow Air On Ryo Zan will go through Glacius Hail and Kanra’s Swarms like slicing butter, she’s amazing.

It does 9% as a raw opener and at least in the lab it low-profiles under Jago’s non-shadow fireballs with enough distance.

That’s how I feel about a lot of characters in this game, I could never hope to play any of them at any sort of competent level. I’d love to play Jago since his Ultimate and color 11 are sick, but I dropped him at the end of Season 2 because I could never hope to reach the level of someone like Grimmmz when he was playing Jago.

The timing on her juggles is pretty tight and I wouldn’t say that I’m getting a lot of crazy-ish stuff, but I’m loving the simple stuff I’m finding using toward MP after medium spirit slice.

So far I’ve been able to land medium spirit slice, medium DP, medium DP, t-MP, shadow Shin ORZ. Not a big deal and it doesn’t cash out of course, but there’s so much stuff that you feel like you can do and that always feels fun.

Like medium spirit slice, t-MP, medium air Shin ORZ, Shadow Shin ORZ, Shadow DP (an absolute waste of meter at 16%) or how many DPs can I hit off of Shadow slice? Three, and the last one can cash out if it’s a shadow DP (for a whopping 19% lol).

But yeah, between trying to figure out what she can juggle with to canceling first or second hit SORZ in to specials, her cross ups and all the wacky spirit orb stuff, she just feels loaded with potential. I can’t wait to see what players that are much better than me can come up with! :slight_smile:

In the mean time…

I like her more than regular Hisako, who I was never a big fan of.

She doesn’t really seem to be all that unique though, honestly. She’s just kinda straight forward, only cool thing she does is the spirit orb shenanigans. Other than that, she’s kinda boring in my opinion. Nowhere near as unique and interesting as the normal Hisako.

Don’t get me wrong, she’s fun to play and she’s a great character, the devs did a fantastic job but she’s really not all that interesting thematically or mechanically. She’s basically Hisako minus all the stuff that makes her unique, she’s Hisako light.

In my opinion the differences between Jago and Shadow Jago are huge, Shago’s got teleports, air fireballs, slides, the list goes on. Same for Fulgore and Kilgore, Kilgore’s got lock-on missiles, a cannonball attack, ranged attacks, an entire overheat mechanic! Shin Hisako… well she’s missing all the cool features you’d expect from a remix. Its almost as if Shin Hisako was the vanilla version and regular Hisako is the remix with all the cool features.

Long story short, she doesn’t really feel that special, sure she’s different but she doesn’t wow me like the others.

I absolutely love her, only thing is though is that im terrible with her :cry::cry:

I’m under the impression that she’s not as straightforward as the devs made her out to be, as well.

Her moves and unique mechanics are simple, but like many of the post-S1 characters she’s got key conditions and restrictions (most of which involve her dash and extremely negative specials) other characters don’t have to deal with.

To me, having those spirit orb shenanigans changes everything. Being able to teleport the way she does is already a huge difference in my eyes. Maybe I’m only looking at the “what’s different” side rather than the “what’s new” side but I’m honestly really happy with it.


If you’ve played Persona 4 Arena, I wanted this character, but instead, I got the alternate Persona version of him.
