Narukami Basic OMB BnB Tutorial and OMB Applications

This particular video is a tutorial for the competitive aspect of the fighting game Persona 4 Arena. It is meant to teach the players of this game people who exclusively play the character Yu Narukami how to optimize and maximize his damage from any point on the stage when performing a “burst”, a multi use and very important mechanic in the game.

The tutorial runs through every possible set up this character has off a “one more burst” into high damaging combos. It starts off with the most basic mid screen combo then goes off into more specialized setups. It begins by teaching the player how to execute the combo properly and how do avoid “same move proration” which causes the combo to drop. It then moves on into a high light reel of the kinds of combos you can do with one more burst.

To say this video is for those with specialized knowledge would be a fair statement. The video assumes you know how to play fighting games, it assumes you know how to play persona 4 arena, and it assumes you know numeric notation and other terminology. This fair game however if you’re playing this particular game in a competitive environment chances are you already know how to play fighting games so those explanations would be redundant.  If you don’t this is the wrong tutorial to for you. Although I would have like an explanation in this video for same move proration since it’s a term that exclusively applies to this fighting game but it isn’t something addressed in the game manual.
