Yea fan guy is stupid.
Testament isn't in story mode, I heard he's dead. But so was Zato....so yea.

Zato was coming back in the next main game regardless. Eddie's ending in AC lined up with the Xrd story

Reposting for the new page: any updates on PS3 -> PS4 stick compatibility?
Honestly, I wish fighting games would stop "resurrecting" dead characters in favor of a cohesive story. Instead of deleting them upon death, though, just include a section of the character select called "Gears of History" or something. Let them still be playable in V.S., but that's it. Just my two cents.
Losing Testament would be unfortunate. He is the most iconic character for me.
You know I'm going to ask you to explain!
Pardon my lackluster knowledge, but weren't Kliff and Justice dead at one point as well?

He was captured at the end of AC and tossed into a test tube to be experimented on. Which they mention in Xrd as the senate experimenting on adding Souls to empty bodies. Seeing Zato's state the way it was gave them the idea for it as Eddie was keeping his body alive even though Zato was long dead.
Also Justice and Kliff have been dead since the end of GG1
Again, ArcSys, Aksys, and Atlus are not the same companies.
I'm sure ArcSys' decisions have some impact on whatever Aksys and Atlus does, but ultimately, the pricing structure is up to them, not ArcSys (outside of Japan, and Atlus in Japan).
Looking at BlazBlue and estimating DLC prices is a good idea, but not so for Persona 4 Arena.

They are dead, but their sprites live on!
While developing the 3D assets, they used the old XX sprites as placeholders.....

Fuck yes, I did Zato challenge 27! I have been stuck on that for a day.
Yes, I know I suck. Dashing after [K] is way harder than it should be for me.
Edit: up to 32 now. 7 trials left!

Where the hell does Big Blast Sonic play in game at?
I think it's just in the console trailer or whatever, the one from TGS. In the Gallery.

Yeah seems that way, yet on the Vocal CD it says it's the console opening.
That shit is a lie.

I just won 5 matches in a row against 3 different people. I think that upgrades me from total shit to mostly shit.
I lost to a Slayer spamming his rushdown moves with 19 frames of delay. Get the fuck off the internet if that is your situation. I couldn't even link P to itself by mashing.

I just bought the PS3 version by mistake when I meant to buy the PS4 version. I do have a PS3. Should I keep it? Besides 1080p is there anything I will be missing out?

I'm da bess:
I feel like the graphical integrity sometimes drops in the PS3 version, but I haven't noticed gameplay differences.

At the same time, they're not the most fun to play against either.

I watched the first 10 seconds of the first video, which was Anji getting killed. That will forever remain my image of his potential
They should bring back everyone except the semi-clone characters like Robo Ky/Order Sol. All the unique cast needs to come back over the next couple of expansions of Xrd along with more new characters. Zappa/Baiken/Johnny/Dizzy/May/Anji are essential.
They are the best with lag though because they're too fast for people to react with high/low mixup rushes.

Yeah if they can do all their setplay on delay like some sort of online god.
I'd rather play Faust on 10f delay than attempting stuff with Chipp and Millia any day.

Pfft reacting to Millia? People are just guessing all day, offline and online.
Can we just agree that everyone loses in lag. :/
Same. It's why I use Slayer and Potemkin more online compared to my Zato.
Setting up Mawaru on knockdown and missing the fuzzy, only to get grabbed kinda sucks lol
Most likely. To my knowledge, I can't remember a game where US DLC worked with the JPN/HK versions.

Don't forget to download the free christmas color pack that came out today.
What types of tactics do you use with Slayer?
Maybe this article can help ya

Online? I play him how I normally would offline besides the 5SS 2D link.
Although against Onemic, our connection was so bad that Mappa Punch didn't come out after 5SS a few times lol

I think so. All of the west save the coast is empty.
I wonder if the next version will drop PS3 support.

Forgot to mention the site doesn't work for me for some reason, I have to use the store on the system. Found the color pack under new releases but can't find the PS+ colors...
I can do my Millia stuff online, but then when I tried to play offline my timing was ruined.
Atlantic South usually has a good 30 people in it, which is convenient for my Tennessee location.
yea me too being in FL. Kinda supprised that many people play in the lobby, I figured people would be all over the tri state lobbies more.
You can, but use it sparingly, because smart opponents will pick up on it and Yellow Roman Cancel for a free combo if they see it coming. Plus, forward air-dashes are completely defenseless. Now, I'm still a total scrub, but here's what helped me advance from a total beginner:
Get some high-low mixups going (3K or 2D on their wakeup to get them block low, then hit them with a dust). Always be charging Mr. Dolphin while doing some space-control moves like standing HS, far S, or 2D, and also use him to end any strings you land on the opponent. Remember you can Roman Cancel S horizontal dolphin into either an air-dash or a fully charged 6HS > another Mr. Dolphin (as soon as 6HS starts, keep holding HS but hold back on the joystick and get ready to hit 6S or 6HS as soon as the anchor hits).
Use Mr. Otter any time you get space, or if your opponent likes to air-dash across the screen like an idiot. Learn which counter-hits lead to big combos (2HS counter on an airborne opponent, for example). Learn how to use Overhead Kiss (her command throw). Start with these combos and build from there:
Her BnB pretty much boils down to j.HS, j.D, Ensenga, with different starters, or some variation thereof. Start with this to get the basic idea:
Dust > Homing Jump > j. HS, j. S, j. HS, j. D, Ensenga (hcf + HS in the air)
Then you can do a more advanced, timing-based verson like:
Dust > Homing Jump > j.P (two hits), j.S, j.K, j.P (two hits), j.HS, j.D > Jump Cancel (hit up as soon as the j.D hits) > j.S, j.HS, j.D > Ensenga
If you see that the opponent only has a sliver of life left, you can Roman Cancel the last Ensenga to get another j.HS, j.D > Ensenga to finish them off. Otherwise, save the meter. If you have trouble getting the Dust, any close-range move, even S Horizontal Dolphin, can be Roman Canceled for a free Dust on hit.
Roman Canceled throw combos are next:
Forward throw (sends them behind you) > Roman Cancel > walk towards them juuuust a bit > Close S, 2HS, cancel into HS Vertical Dolphin. This can be expanded if you close S after the Dolphin.
Overhead Kiss > dash forward two steps > close S, j.K, j.HS, j.D > Jump Cancel > j.HS, j.D > Ensenga.
That's some basic stuff that will have you winning against the lower ranks in no time.
