Would Persona even have a big scene in the areas he mentioned? I don't see it shrinking Persona's international appeal much. Should have said that from the start.

I think I have like a 95% success rate using Mitsuru's IK against Naotos.

There are a ton of references in this game to things in the RPG that aren't important at all, so it wouldn't surprise me if that's supposed to be Funky.
You got me wanting to use different characters, so right now I'm in challenge mode actually using Yu lol.
If there's a room going with more than us, I'll join for sure.
I honestly have no idea. I just don't understand what you mean and why you're talking about the US and Japan.
I'm pretty sure he means that TTT2 will have a negative impact on Arena's sales in places like Europe if Zen can't get it released in the first week of September. That's all there is to it.

Use the default, it just works better.
AB is an action
CD is an action
AC is an action
BD is an action
DCA is an action
ABC is an action
Imagine those on a bb style format
The default feels like my old KOF pad config, which I worked hard to break as a habit, now I have to break habits again.
Then again, I need to make my Yukiko good at something before I give up on this game. Felt some improvement today, but this game still feels like a foreign language.

Yeah I'm seein the tutorials display tempe attacks in a grid pattern. Will do that.

yukiko is a good char, but has poor options once pressured. But if you get the offense going it can be quite staggering.
Guy is good, but Yu is sooooo fucking boring to watch...
This is probably the only character in the game I totally despise.

Care to explain why? Q makes a good argument about why the default is a good layout.

On a stick, each button gets a finger. If I wanted to contort my hand to press button combinations, I'd use a pad.
QisTopTier

Or you could... use two fingers? How in the world do people play SF? with 6 fingers?
and I use my full thumb to hit double presses and shoulder buttons for the AC and BD stuff. Then if I want to burst I just press a shoulder button and the one button it needs on the pad. Easy and my hands are not being destroyed...

So, almost just like KoF?
The default instantly clicked with me anyways, so I can't really say I know how the others feel :|
I'm not having any issues with with doing the ABC/ACD commands on a stick, if that's what you're talking about. All I do is switch my thumb from the B button to the D button.
To each his own (that's why there is a button config menu), but to call a default layout "stupid" because your hands can't handle it is kind of silly.
Also pad = shortcuts.

I'm not sure what exactly you're imagining, but each button having a finger seems faster and more efficient than anything else.
Not that I actually play SF on any kind of regular basis, but it's not as comfortable or intuitive as playing a 4 button fighter.

It's weird if you play other games, but that's only if you think of the buttons as the letters they are.
In your mind you should be thinking,
Character 1 Persona 1
Character 2 Persona 2
not
A C
B D
Which can lead to some confusion

Honestly, I usually get more confused when games DO have similar setups. You have no idea how confused I was when going constantly back and forth between TvC and BB at the arcade. Hell, after playing nothing but SCV for a week and then suddenly going back to MvC 3 I was trying to guard with S and grab with A+S >__>

I prefer default P4A. The reason being is so that muscle memory ties in with a distinct layout.
Nothing worse than pressing the wrong button combination thinking you're playing a different game. Thats why at first the C+D grab was throwing me off for awhile.

This is why I called it stupid. It makes sense for pads, which is what most people play on, so of course the default layout will cater to that. But for someone using a stick, it doesn't make any sense, to me anyway.
But like you said, to each their own.
Yeah, that still gets me lost... I keep thinking of those as exclusively persona buttons. I don't think I've stopped a single throw in this game.
Personally, I altered the Control Scheme to..
ACD
B
I play Naoto, and I found myself tiring my thumb out very quickly with D at the default position. Plus, it is easier for me to cancel out of sniping stance by having my ring finger holding D than switching over my thumb to pressing/holding D from B. And under this format, there really is no confusion for me in challenge mode displays and hitting all of the buttons combinations you need is still pretty simple. If I ever needed to play on default for whatever reason, it still wouldn't be too awkward to do so.

Uh, it's the default lay out in arcades as well. Marvel 2 also used it if you don't count the assist buttons
It does display the timing of moves.
There's a blue bar under the combo count that is the recovery time for your moves.
Against my better judgement, I tried Score Attack with Labrys again and actually managed to beat him, though he still managed to take a round with his fucking stupid Garudyne that deals almost as much damage as Brutal Impact.
Then I run into a Naoto with a seemingly endless supply of SP to counter any blockstrings with either of her SP skills, and Death counters that either drain twice as fast or don't reset per round (banking on the latter cause I got reduced to 0 at about 10 seconds into Round 2). Just... argh.

That's the time until they can tech. Not the recovery time for your move.
Oh, nevermind then!
Guess that's why I've been autocomboing, cause I don't know crap.

I played 15 matches against a guy using both versions of Labrys.
I won 7
Guy locked me down in the corner with just her axe.
Her jumping B is so good and is super easy to hit confirm into a combo.
Her DP beats kanji's D grab and his DP so i couldn't do some of my follow-ups on knock down.
Had to work for the wins.

You could continue in BlazBlue's Score Attack, with the sole exception being Extend's Unlimited Mars (No continues, every "Unlimited" character). Unlimited Mars got renamed "Score Attack" for this game. :/
Wouldn't exactly call it a glitch when they kept it in for all 3 of their Home releases, with Unlimited Mars being the only mode that took it out!
Have to beat the whole thing. No using the BB 2-player glitch to avoid losses.

Elizabeth's story touches upon this. Basically, he's still trapped and she's trying to help him out. Also, the P3 characters say that Charlie reminds them of the P3 MC here and there.

Played a match against God's Beard a bit ago (I was monkyofdoom), started to panic last round and he blew up my Yu. Good shit GB!
