Part of #6. It just kinda sucks when you have a game with a relatively-small cast and people still just pick the same one character so many times.
Nope, not forgetting it all- It's pretty obvious when you play people who don't even know how to BLOCK, lol.

Yup, been playing with my J-PSN account "lyteedge".
I think I'm gonna be able to do well against American Yu and annoying Labrys players but will still quite the noob against anyone else.

Isn't it day one? Yu is the easiest character to play AND he was the protagonist of the original game, of course he would be the first one people go to...give it a few days guys!
I've had the game for almost two weeks now -and people can tap out those easy combos with anyone- but it's no surprise that the "Ryu" of the game seems to be the most popular.
Oh man, that's awesome- let's trade character encounter rates! XD
I think it's overstated how easy of a character Yu it's to play. A good portion of the cast is east to pick up.

Well I guess people cant get enough of the swag then!? I really do hope the game isnt always gonna be the Yu Train.
I updated my last post, but since Yu is P4 Arena's "Ryu" it's not exactly a surprise.
Yu is easy to play. Playing Yu well is a different matter entirely though, LOL.
I'm not saying he ins't easy to approach but most of the cast along with him the same can be said for. Playing the character well is an entirely different matter as you said.

Is there any characters that give Yu a lot of trouble?
no extra stick, sorrybut i think 2 of the EFL guys are coming over with their fightsticks to try it out some more, so if anything we can have ourselves a lil' old school "winner stays on" set up.
Ah fuck sauce. Sucks I have to miss out on that. My Yosuke would stay top spot full time guaranteed.
Teddy gives Narukami some trouble IMO since his safe jump loses to his R-action and teddy's normals out ranges and out prioritizes his.
There's hard to blockables and certain characters like Yukiko and Yosuke have attacks that are really unblockable. You know when an attack is unblockable when the double exclamation mark pops over their head.

Depends, is their a Persona equivalent to Blanka in this game?
Teddy?
Absolutely- Arc deserves major props for making this game very easy to pick up and learn quickly and offering a simplified control scheme, yet offering plenty of depth for advanced players.
Teddy or Kanji, probably. I think Yu's one of those characters where you just have to be flat out better at reading to win than any specific matchup however.

All the Junpei hate makes sad.
If there is one thing that P3 does much better than P4, its conflicts. The characters actually have quite a few clashes. Compared to P4, whom are buddy-buddy for most of the game. I think that makes characters like Junpei and Yukari( don't like her though) more realistic and likable when they eventually come to terms with their problems.

You're near the end. Keep going, cuz it only gets better. :3

I've heard this several times before, but it continues to make me hype. Really good to hear this echoed as many times as it has been.
Look on the bright side. Yu's biggest strength (all around well balanced) is his biggest weakness. Which admittedly isn't that much of a weakness in low level play but still... At least you've got a decent change of winning before skill is taken into consideration.

My friend and I are going to grab this at midnight at Wal-Mart and cancel our orders at gamestop. Since he works there he can get our pre-order CD's for us so its a win win.
Did you preorder with release day shipping and/or Prime 2day?
I've had Amazon ship out my release day items at like 9pm on the day before release (or at least, that's when they e-mailed me), so I wouldn't give up hope yet.
My amazon has shipped. It's two towns over. ::shakes fist at UPS::
Get it. The story mode looks worth it. And the game sounds pretty easy to pick up even if you aren't good at fighting games. I too will begin as a proud member of the scrub club.
I paid about 10 extra dollars for release day shipping.

Step 1: Get it
Step 2: Play the game for story mode
Step 3: Practice, practice, practice
Step 4: Become the EVO 2013 Persona 4 Arena Champion
Youll get it.
Then you're still definitely in the window for getting it on release day, so I wouldn't start worrying yet.
If they promised release date shipping I wouldn't worry, they ship that stuff out way late sometimes.

Buy the game anyways. I'm pretty much in the same camp as you. Suck at fighting games, but this being a Persona fighting game there was no way I wasn't gonna get it. As long as you're having fun it doesn't matter if you're not good.

This plus the fact that Askys makes awesome story modes.
My internet was shit when I bought BlazBlue and I still got a ton of fun out of it just from the story mode.
Askys fighting games are still very solid single player experiences.
But what if I can't even beat the boss on normal? lol Those kind of things actually turn me off, and what could be an awesome experience will probably end up being frustrating, even if the story is good. I am afraid of that. But I am inclined to try it. Lets see. x_x
Quoting myself because I've just crossed my first Naoto online!
Guy had a record of 14 matches / 14 wins: I got destroyed... Not easy when you don't know shit about the match-up AND the guy in front of you is good. ^^
Just lower the difficulty, plus the auto-combo system will help.
