Persona 4: Arena |OT| Midnight's Just Around The Corner

I didnt even get a sticker on mine. I assume it is on the shrinkwrap anyway.
It's not Meguro, so maybe that's why it's not what you were expecting?
I think it's pretty solid though. I like the remixes more than the actual OST.
NewEgg is the new Amazon.
I saw Gametrailers review for it... the only time I'll trust a review is fpr a game outside of the realm of genres I play. I've never been huge in fighting games but I love the Persona series and this seems like an easy start. Typically the only fighting game (if you even want to call it that), that I've enjoyed was the Smash Bros. series.
I normally just play like... open world games, jrpg's / sjrpgs or the odd FPS or survival horror game. So I'm hoping if what they've said, in terms of how easy it is, will be a good fit for me. I really enjoy the style Arc System Works uses too. Any input would be nice from you guys too, please let me know how this would be for a beginner to the fighting game scene! =)
Thanks!

Yeah...I probably should have jumped on that save $10 preorder thing. Fuck.
Couldn't find it in the manual so I don't think there is a taunt?
I'm doing that as well- I'm wondering if the KOF play I used to do is crossing me up.
Loving the game right now. I was skeptical about autocombos at first, but they are a wonderful addition to the game if you are first starting out with either this game(which we all are) or fighting games in general, as it allows you to focus on fundamentals first and foremost and combos second, since you can just pres 5aaaaa to do a simple troublefree combo. Unlike other games where I feel like you have to learn combos first and fundamentals second, as you wont be able to do any dmg to your opponent if you dont learn any.(blazblue ;( )

I might have to reconfigure the controls on my regular pad for the first time ever in a fighter. Playing on 360 and X as A + A as B is really throwing me off.
Boston.
Boston.
so worse
Haha. Really?? I sort of love that.
I dunno, I think you guys are crazy. I've had a Chun-li MadCatz FightPad for the 360 ever since Street Fighter 4 came out, and it has been great since then. I feel it's leagues better than the "transforming d-pad."
HOWEVER, maybe the reason the d-pad is so good is because I did this easy d-pad mod. I don't know, because it's been so long since I've played without it.
Man, I'm an idiot. Thank you!

Still haven't beat P3Fes and P4. Is playing story mode for this going to spoil anything?
Boston.so worse
I swear it sounds Texan.

So Yukiko is definitely not an easy char to pickup but definitely fun.
I tried online just to see how is the netcode day 1. It can go from vanilla mvc3 ass to pretty amazing.

It's not anywhere close to Texan accent.
I'm glad there's actually players now. Guess I was just getting unlucky yesterday, as all my games today are largely lag free. Of course, I'm utterly pissed off thanks to real life at the moment, so I haven't exactly won today...
Been playing non stop since 10:30 EST. I love this game. Definitely getting a 360 copy as well. Haven't tried online yet, been in versus mode. Kanji, Akihiko and Chie are so much fun to play. The only character being played by more than one person is Chie (everyone loves her play style).
We'll be online tonight, probably make a room. Or possibly be bouncing around rooms. Wish there was a public matching feature like ranked has, where you just choose a character and go essentially.

oh man oh man, the old dorm music from p3 playing in the menu! :3
I know that we have that list going on with everyone's name but I wonder if there should be some separation in terms of everyone's skill level. I would definitely love to play with other casuals where we can just sit and have fun rather than getting frustrated when playing with some of the more advanced crowd.

Mitsuru's sweep into Aegis D is awesome. Free mixups, and full combo off a throw.

Same here, the SF 6 button lay out has been instilled in me since I was 9 years old. The only other non-SF game that I played a lot was MVC2. But that was a easier transition as it used 2 punches and 2 kicks. This on the other hand, it's literally frying my mind. It's hard to break the only thing you've ever known for the past 20 years. I think simply getting use to this game is going to take me a little longer than most FGC-GAF'ers because of my lack of experience playing non-Capcom games.
I've taken to calling her Snookie-Bot.
I have been in Challenge Mode with Aigis for awhile now (haven't done anything else). Seems nice enough, since I'm using my recently purchased arcade stick to play it. I really want to go back to a pad just because my qcf motions are pretty shaky on a stick, but I'm resisting the urge to do so.
But I do have a question in terms of the default button layout for stick users. For the people that are still using this set-up...

Exactly how are you having your fingers rest on the controls? I instinctively put my index and middle finger on A and C, but it's kinda awkward to switch between B and D with my thumb, and it's excessively awkward to try to have four fingers on that configuration at once. I am thinking about remapping the controls to have B,C,D at top row with A at lower left, but I want to give the default scheme a few more hours before I decide.

Oh, so Labrys isn't actually new to this game, but existed before?
If you think you can do better on a pad, go for it.
Playing on a stick isn't gonna magically make you better, it's just a different control method.

There's gonna be a lot more of this before the week is out.
Yeah but... losing to me of all people? I'm not exactly good at this game.
Persona 3 Drama CD, this is first real appearance however.

I use the latter.
I got that, but a notion of getting better is not quite the reason I got a stick. I'm actually doing some actual physical damage to my thumb playing on the pads I got, which was actually the motivating factor to getting a stick in the first place. I don't want to switch back because I know I have to toughen it out to get used to playing on stick.
Yeah, I'm sitting down to play it for the first time and I think I'm gonna change it to the second one after messing with it for a bit. It makes more sense and the button combinations still work fine.
