Persona 4: Arena |OT| Midnight's Just Around The Corner

Picking this up today, been a long time since I've spent 60 on a game. Persona is one of the few series I would do this for.
 
TWILT was that Izanagi crossup combo this one:

2A > 2B > 2A+B > {5D} > QE > 5D (5DD Hit) > 5B > 2B > 5C > 5B > 2B > 5C > 214D/Reset with 2A+B

?
 
Man, the netcode is good, but the lobbies are kinda fucked.

I figured it out. If you try to join while it's loading it fucks up. What an odd bug.

Sorry for joining the room late. Was buying Nanako.

Nanako makes me sad, because she's always so gloomy when you lose :(
 
i've played 3 akihiko's in a row. too many mirror matches!

edit: anyone play akihiko? anyone have a good overhead combo to start with?
 
Just curious, has Atlus said anything about why more P3 characters aren't in here? I would have at least liked to have Yukari in there.
 
Yep. It's harder than it looks. :|

I know, I can't pull it off. Is this part 2A+B > {5D} > QE > 5D (5DD Hit) an actual combo or does it depend on how they tech?

Coming up as yellow for me in training mode I think. I haven't tried it since way earlier today and I don't think I'll be able to pull it off for a bit.


Thanks fo the games everyone! Taking a break.
 
That was a pretty kill though. I think I like Yukiko's the best.

....I still don't know how I got IKed. Shouldn't she got knocked out of it with my overhead?

This never happened to be before. No one ever got an Astral Heat off on me in BB.

Because its called P4 Arena?

Im actually surprised and happy we got Mitsuru, Aigis, Aki, and Elizabeth.

I believe Yukiko's instant kill, while having a long warmup time, makes her invulnerable. Your only choice is to see it coming and block it.

i should be in training mode, but i really wanna play people

Training mode is useful if you know where to improve, but if you haven't played anyone, it's hard to know where you stand.

Here's the vid I used to learn the reset with 5D. Just takes practice really. GGs man.

Instant kills have a ton of invincibility.

Yeah. I really need to work on hit confirms because I keep fucking up my BnB and sending out Izangi to die or getting a blocked lightning car.
 
I'll be up for some multi later tonight. Had a few matches in armada's room earlier this afternoon, ended up going 1-3 I think.

Oh really, is that what it's called? No need to be a dick man, I was just wondering. More P3 is never a bad thing. Also I suppose they might add more through DLC.
 
Not sure if it's already been mentioned but Zen united/Pqube are going to be having an event at gamerbase London on the 22nd of August with playable builds of P4A, still no release date. Good to know that they can show off the game multiple times within the last 2 months yet not actually release it. it's releasing to a retail death in Europe.
 
I'm still trying to get my legs (and figure out what character I'm preferring). So far thinking Liz and either Akahiko or Chie, but will need to get some practice in all of them.

I also plunged strait into (the text heavy) Story mode (really like it so far). Maybe that'll give me more of a clue once I finish thru all the characters.

More P3? Bah! Put some P1/P2 characters in there!

P1MC!
Ayase!
Masao!
Maya!
Jun!
Tatsuya!
Katsuya!
 
Sorry whoever's lobby I left. I was talking on the phone with someone during our match.

Also, is it just me or does quick match take a while on ranked? I've won the matches I've gotten so far, but it takes too long to get new ones.

Ulala and Baofu or bust.
 
Shoutouts to whoever it was that was playing with me in armada's room.

Sorry about my scrubby ass Chie, I haven't had as much time with the game as I would like so I'm playin' like poo :(
 
More like Akihiko-san and the Other guys no one cares about Scrubs: The Ultimate in Boxing I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS Arena.
LOL

Oh....thats lame.

I wasn't trying to be a dick, just trying to be funny and witty. Sorry if I offended you.

God damn, why is Mitsu's autocombo so damn safe.

That was a close game Noi bro. GG.
 
Why does nobody show any love for Maki? Her P2 design is one of the best character designs that Kaneko has done.

Because she's kinda flat in P1. In P2 she gets some depth but Yukino stomps all over her.
 
Playing Aigis' story mode... When you guys said "visual novel" you really meant visual novel. It was like 30 minutes of text before the first fight.

I'm really digging Aigis as a fighter, except I still can't do her final move. I really love Megido Fire EX. Pretty easy and has a good range.

Aigis's instant kill is total garbage. I got desperate and used it in online just a second ago, and even I realized how much a waste of time it was. It's on par with Akihiko's for terribleness.

Aigis's counters are pretty hard to get used to as well. I can never tell when they've gone off because they're so awkward.

You're right tho, Megido Fire is <3

Hey now, Akihiko's can maybe hit. Aigis' is a staight up \ and can be dashed under since it can only activate in mid-air.

Aki: 1
Aig: 0
