Not quite. With ranked, you get one shot to beat whatever opponent you're paired up with and it's hard to learn what they did when you can't even afford to throw a round to learn their habits. This isn't a problem with player matches, since you can face the same people over and over and actually learn how your character's matchup plays against said person.

That's true but, it doesn't sound like he's having fun playing .
People play little more gimmicky on ranked and 3 rounds isn't enough for some people,myself included,to learn how to stop them.

Glad to see you're sticking with the game. Watching your noob adventures I was thinking that you weren't enjoying it at all.
Haha, you're the man Max; always enjoy watching your vids.
I love this game, even though I never played Persona 4 or any of em for that matter. I watched the anime to get a heads up and I enjoyed it for what it's worth. Game is really fun though.
One question, was Naoto in Persona 3? I base this on opening dialog she has with P3 characters and some artwork for P3 that had someone in that same outfit with a gun and everything...
According to Google she isn't, but if anyone really knows it's you guys who are into this stuff. Anyone wanna give me the scoop?

Nope, Naoto is a P4 character, she's just investigating the P3 cast in this game.
Well, that's true, although the last part hasn't been much of a problem for me since I end up playing the same people at least thrice a lot. Hell I think by now I've played the exact same Akihiko in ranked like 10 times *shrug*

She wasn't in Persona 3,but do you have a link to the artwork?
he's probably confused her for Minato

Naoto looks like Minato though, lol. And she has a similar tie and obviously the gun.

Derp,why didn't I think of that.
P3's main characters real name is Minato?
Lemon Crest

As already said, that's his name in the manga, but it's still possible they'll change his name with the P3 movie like how Yu originally had a different name until the anime was released.
He's kinda right: Just look at the power creep that's happened to Magic: the Gathering. Some people like that, but me, I enjoyed the early 00's late 90's Magic. :/

If they do change it I just hope they don't do another "you" pun >.>
Seta will always be Seta to me like Minato will always be Minato. Atlus should make official names next-time instead of "lol you're the main character!"
Also where's my Tatsuya DLC announcement, Atlus?
Fuck that, it's all about dat Junpei DLC

After the beatings I received today, I'm terrified of the competition I'd find at a tournament.
But so many matches I lost were because of stupid mistakes, so...

If they used female MC, it could've been Ai.
Shh, don't give them ideas.
oh man, I spent all night trying to figure out this higher damage combo in a japanese aigis video but there's so many moving parts and tight drop points where they tech right in my face as I'd be recovering, and it also requires sneaking in earlier hits that get the scaling just right. usually, it's at least clear what I need to drill this still isn't clicking.
extremely frustrated but haven't had that level of motivation for a fighter in a good while.

Tatsuya out-swags the P3 AND P4 cast in a week than they will swag their lifetime.

Give us Boy with Piercing first!

You misspelled Baofu.
Too bad Atlus won't give us Eternal Punishment PSP to where I can say that with authority. :|

Wat. KOS-MOS is the WORST.

Completely disagree. I've always hated the whole "look at me, I'm a robot that wants to be human" shit. Aigis--and to a lesser extent--Labrys, Metis, etc. can all choke on a sea cucumber.
KOS-MOS is the most bearable because she's the most robotic. That's my main reason for liking her. I'm sure you're gonna bring up the you-know-what shit, though.

Yes, yes I am. And frankly Aigis and the other's wanting to be human makes sense given they were given a "heart" to even be able to summon a persona. Them wanting to be more than they are is a very human trait.
Yes and no.
dem spoilers.
It's not really spoilers for P4U. And Labrys' wants are basically spoiled in the Arcade mode, so...
Or even the character select screen for Versus. I was playing through Yu's story before the cliffhanger and had met Labrys, knew something was up with her but wasn't sure yet, then tried out Versus and read "...but she's actually a Kirijo group robot!"
"Fuck."
Its spoilers for my p3 playthrough!!!

It making "sense" isn't the problem. It's just one of those things that will make me roll my eyes every time--kinda like this. The less QQing (aka humanity) from these awful robot characters, the better. And like I said, the main reason I like KOS-MOS is because she was the most robotic (and had some awesome action scenes).
You know this is gonna turn into a semantics bs-fest if we keep it up, I'm sure, so let's just forward it to the hot hate sex, bb.

Wat. And you think KOS-MOS is good? Really? They aren't QQing. They're soul-searching. Big difference. :/
And you can keep your robotic talking girls. I'm fine with my robotic girls that soul search and then have guns coming out of them to destroy Shadows.

It's 150 SP but oh man I need to learn this.
Bah. I'm playing through P3 right now, after finishing Yu, Labrys and Akihiko's story mode in P4A, and spoilers are no big deal.
Heck, I read the damnable wikipedia for the game before realizing I could play it on my Vita.
50 hours in. Must not be drawn in by

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Elizabeth's story are where the major spoilers are.
No more Aigis?
My play style with Aigis is weird; I absolutely cannot perform combos with her (or effectively control her boosts or basic movement for that matter) to save my life on an arcade stick, but I play her somewhat okay on the pad.
Naoto is the exact opposite; can't really play her on a pad, but I can only really play her effectively on the stick (the clicking and clacking of the buttons help my timing with her).
I have heard that in order to really get used to the stick, you should not switch between them that much, but I dunno. I guess I just need to get adjusted to the stick a bit more before I can get Aigis's faster inputs down.
