Persona 4 Arena Sequel Announced [Japanese arcade-only update for now]

Can't say I'm happy about this considering how long it took Zen to get us P4A in the UK. :/

Guessing this is to hold things over til P5 (and because P4A sold a lot so they add more P3 characters and call it P4A2 >_> )

Oh well, I'll pick it up since I enjoyed P4A, I just hope there is no region lock this time.

I don't think there'll be a region lock and I feel pretty confident guessing that NISA will bring it over.
 
Yuka-tan haters gonna get salty as fuck.

I just got the first version this week (lol pal), I guess if anything it this will encourage me to actually get somewhat good at the game, just have to hope this region locking bullshit doesn't happen again.

Goddamnit the P3 protagonist got screwed real
hard.

I want to play as him :(

If he's in this game he's probably going to be the last reveal anyway.

"it sounds like.. [Shadow is] what people requested of Mahvel: one char is offensive XF options, the other char is defensive XF options"

HOPE THIS COMES OUT IN THE UK ON TIME OMG

anyway

Just had time to read through this thoroughly. Damn. Hype hype hype. I was considering a sequel or update tot his game and I totes called the shadow mode. I always thought that would be neat - I had no idea how it would work though. The whole nonburst thing sound craazzy. Look at Junpei shitty doorag. What a douche - i love it. Oh and Yu has a command grab. Lol. Just make him more like generic arks shoto then hehe. I hope we get a few more characters in the mix. Love to see Koro. Excited to see how this goes. Mmmmm. Teddie and AoA in the air?! Aww shit!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
PAL gets the update first to make up for the delay

I doubt that'll ever happen, but really this time DO NOT FUCKING REGION LOCK THE DAMN GAME IF IT'S GETTING AN ENGLISH RELEASE!
I'm still gonna get the most out of my P4A disc though up til this gets released~
 
If they remove the region lock and include the whole first game (since we don't know what this is), I'm there day 1.
Only fighting game that I like playing in the arcades here.
 
Junpei stuff:

AMERIKAJIN ‏@jiyunaJP 15m
Junpei's Baseball Gauge- Whiffing bat normals = strike lolll. Getting hit = out. 3 outs and the runners on base disappear. #p4u

AMERIKAJIN ‏@jiyunaJP 13m
Junpei got up to 19 runs. After 10 he started glowing, dunno if that was a super or just from the runs. Dunno what effect Balls has. #p4u

AMERIKAJIN ‏@jiyunaJP 19s
Junpei's Bat Super can hit HOMERUN! Does 2100 dmg and gives 3 runs...I think it's spacing related. Need to hit the bat's sweet spot. #p4u

AMERIKAJIN ‏@jiyunaJP 28s
Junpei glowing again after 10 runs, that seems to be it. And his win pose is identical to his corner P3 disco point win pose haha. #p4u

AMERIKAJIN ‏@jiyunaJP 7s
Junpei's runs as well as his glowing mode carry over between rounds. He's at 31 right now. Aigis has air-rush super like Guile in MVC2 #P4U
 
What wait what?
What?
Now that is seriously unexpected!

I'm beyond happy. Sorry Jojo, BBCP and Xrd, but this is now my most anticipated fighter! Only Poison can compete...
Now, to catch back all those pages of informations and hype...
 
Think of it this way Dantis. They are still working on P5. This, in no way, speeds up or slows down its development. If anything, this sort of reenforces the fact that P5 will be standalone!
 
i think i'm burnt out of fighting games. p4a was and probably will be my last for a long time now.

Junpei looks awesome though

Not technically true. Those new portraits (And presumably new designs) are Soejima, sadly.

Soejima's lead artist. I bet the bulk of his work on P5 is done.

I hope Yukari hates her job.
If she does, she deserves it.

Somebody pointed earlier in the thread that she has an affinity for kids, which is what Featherman would be for.

I bet she owns it.

So presumably this will be a PS360 title?

Most likely, yeah.
 
Just make it into Shin Megami Tensei Arena already and shove every character in there and go nuts. Raidou, Tatsuya, Demi-Fiend... all those cool fuckers.

Whatever, I'm European. It's not like I'll get to play this anyway without feeling horribly bad about who my money is going to.

Still excited that Yukari is in it though.

Liz Changes:

Garukasu gone,
A autocombo change, AAA throws a card, launches them w/ a tornado on hit,
air bdash travel is shorter?
A.Zio is 1 hit
AA not much recovery?
JB > JA doesn't work?
maybe JB has more recovery?
5C(2) can pass through and whiff if too close/point blank
Can feint R-action
75% * awakening gives A+B Dia & heals ~40%
B.Bufu freeze 2x?
A.Bufu freeze on (1)
D.Garu +startup +recovery
Air j.2B added
Errrh... what is "Garukasu"? '___'
JB > JA not working anymore means her BnB off of D is gone: I loved doing that combo, felt so good nailing it down. :(
Same thing for D.Garu, they are changing her BnB quite a lot...

R-action feint is nice, though, and apparently she has a new move where she can force negative penalty to her opponent... *giggles*

Elizabeth and Shadow Labrys don't have "Shadow Mode".
Well, wouldn't have used "offensive Elizabeth" either way: she's basically already a "shadow character". Her ridiculous life bar needs that burst so bad!
