Zoning question
I'm usually a rushdown player but I've been zoning all night with kanjo and winning about 70% of the time. Is this a viable tactic or am I just playing like a dickhead?

Wait, you were zoning with Kanji? I'd like to see that.
But yeah, if it works, it's viable.

For a second I was thinking this guy was godlike with summoning lightning or something.

Fireball and slide, then into combos, back out and repeat. How do I get out of the projectile spamming from Elizabeth and the detective? Any tips?

Wait for Naoto to run out of ammo and advance. Slide under Liz's lazerz.

Which slide? Everything I try gets rocked into it.

I think you may have mixed up the character names. Kanji is the grappler with a chair and lightning. He doesn't have a fireball.

You're right, I meant Yu. I only know them by their cards, really. Sorry about that.

Zoning is a legit option and actually is the way some characters are designed to be played. Naoto and Yukiko are all based around a zoning game, however zoning with other characters is much more difficult due to the nature of the game.
Is a legit option, but with Yu it's not his best option IMO.

You should really learn to use some of Yu's combo's instead of just zoning. There are some really good Yu players that are hard to deal with because of their combos.

Zoning with Yu isn't really a good idea. You should stick to mid-rage play utilizing pokes and confirming into combos from those mid-screen pokes. Remember, Yu doesn't excel at in-your-face range nor zoning so try to set the pace in the mid-screen.

If it's in the game, it's fair play. They need to adjust to you. Once you get to some decently skilled players your tactics will stop working and you'll have to adjust your gameplan. Until then just keep on doing what you're doing and learn to laugh at the hatemail.
Sound advice, I know the winning will stop once I get up there in rating.
