And there we go! Framed my cards and put it on the wall. Threw this together in about 15 minutes, I like the layout and the simplicity of it. Glued some black construction paper for as the background and put a tiny square of double-sided tape on the center of each card. Sorry for the crappy quality...iPhone 4S in a dim room.
You sure your D-pad isn't dropping the 214/236 somewhere in the motion? 26 for example where the 3 isn't registered?

Ugh, I am so bad at this game 
Got wrecked twice on Ranked... Fighters just aren't for me. I love them so but they hate me...

Start gradually, beat some of the challenges, learn some bnb combos, and then jump online. A good exercise I used to do was playing score attack before online. I would get wrecked and then be like "at least, ppl online aren't this cheap".Ugh, I am so bad at this game
I'm fairly sure it isn't my controller because I switched between three trying to see if there was an issue but the motion inputted properly on all of them in training.

The game won't force you, it's just the different establishments caters to different players, since there are lobbies have the description of (for players who just want to get use to the game) and (for players who just want to have matches after matches)
Okay. So you're only having problems putting the two 236's in during matches?
Try doing it slower/consistently? I mean if you're not having issues with it in training you shouldn't be having issues with it in the actual game unless you're going too fast for it to register the inputs in the "buffer."
Huh, weird.

I was having this issue too. I ended up having to speed up my finger movements with the d-pad then I got them to start activating again. Took a little to get used to though.

SO how can i put the japanese voices for story mode ?
do i need the patch ( can't download it ATm ) ?
Very disapointed that i'm forced to hear those when i don't like them.
I guess i'm a fool for expecting something when the previous game had the option.

In all matches offline and online, as well as the challenge and lesson mode but the super comes out fine when I try the thumbstick
I'm doing the motion at the same speed as I would in vanilla P4A
The previous game was region locked.
Edit: I like the new player cards. A lot of neat information in it, like one's win percentage in a given MU in Ranked. I guess I'm glad that only the Ranked W/L appears there, since I like to mess around quite a bit in Lobbies and Player Matches; I guess I just won't do that in Ranked anymore. Already 2,000+ matches played online...
That's weird. I haven't ran into mysterious dropping inputs offline with the D-pad.
Oh wow.
This is pretty amazing. How could this have been left as is?

alright I actually think Im gonna play rise. Was she released in the arcade version? Also any tips?
Practice some DDR and get your rhythm down.
Ken, Rise, Adachi, Marie and Margaret are all currently console exclusive characters.
As for tips? I guess it's always good to start off by reading the character's Dustloop page. Rise's got some obnoxious blockstrings by making good use of her music notes.

So Ken is awesome.
I think he's my favorite newcomer so far. Koro adds so much to this character.

he's just talking out his ass. same shit happen in the original P4A thread.
"zomg akihiko is the worse character, he can't do anything!" "he only has 2 buttons because ceaser is useless" "omg akihiko sucks because yukiko's 300 dmg fans are impossible to get around." "this game isn't that good because autocombo"

He's swaglord supreme.
If I had a capture card, I would. But the match syncs. Lags during the character intro. The Round notification is fine... then the game starts to have two seconds of input "lag" to where attempting to block instantly will take two or more seconds to actually "register" my input. It drives me crazy. I have no clue if my actual input will register until too late at times.
I mean if the intro is going to lag while syncing, okay. But as soon as that thing is playing "fine" it shouldn't be messing with my inputs or "frame slowdown"/lagging. It's weird as hell.

I really want to use Yukari but after trying her challenges I'm not sure my execution is good enough. I'll give them all another shot tomorrow though. Maybe after sleeping on it tonight I'll see some improvement.

Story mode, the arcade stories are a very summarized not entirely accurate tl;dr version of it up until the final Sho battle.

What does it say?
Well, yes, obviously there's story mode, but the last game still had little character specific endings like most fighting games. The way it ends (with a TV being shut off as soon as things get interesting) is just really abrupt and it seems like there's supposed to be something else there.

Yeah her combos are surprisingly tough. Her 5AAA xx 214A, 5C > 5B string seems like it's really important for combos and I have a hard time landing it consistently.
Are you making sure not to skip the intro? That makes a huge difference and can even make 0-1 bar connections playable.
Though nothing you can do if your opponent skips. Sometimes in P4A I'd just make a lobby and make the title 'Don't skip intro', and that worked for me. Also, if you're picking the stage, the music room and outdoor night stage right in front of the school are good netplay stages. I'm not sure if any of the new stages are considered as netplay-friendly.
People seem pretty split on Marie. Sounds like she's complicated and people haven't fully figured her out yet.

Eh, that's just them not wanting to spoil the final section of the story. Even tho they had individual art didn't all of the P4A arcade endings end with Labrys getting possessed and then there being an abrupt cut too?
If you're getting actual lag, it could be a few things. One is that one of you guys are on wireless or someone else is doing something that's eating the bandwidth (like downloading).
If it's input delay, then that's just the upload speed and ping from either party not being all that great. The netcode is decent, but it can only do so much if someone's internet speed isn't good.
Like all games online, you just need to hope you and the other guy has a wired connection at the very least.
I don't know about tiers but, of all of the new characters, Marie seems to be the simplest or most straightforward.
Edit: Wait, I wasn't even thinking of the Shos or Rise. Never mind.
For me, my ranking on the new console cast is Rise > Marie > Adachi > Margaret (still early) > Ken
It's all opinions though, and I could be completely wrong. I find Rise extremely scary right now, especially since OMB and awakening super can be 6k-7.5k or so with very little work. Plus her corner game is pretty scary with safe jumps and oki (even on Kanji). Only on standing opponents though
Marie, I still believe to be really good. My friend and I tested her Awakening super for hours. She has a straight up 50/50 with this one setup we tried that had to be a straight up guess to block. If you manage to block it, you have to deal with more mixups (especially on Rainy weather). However, it's not guaranteed if her opponent has meter on a certain setup.
Adachi is good. I don't think his unblockable reset factors in much to be honest. Heat Riser is amazing and should be done asap when he gets 50 meter. Margaret I need to wait on. I'm liking Ken, but he has some really rough matchups compared to the others (against Margaret too).
I'm interested to see how everything plays out though, but I do believe Rise to be high up there.
Said character specific endings involved still shots of your playable character talking to Rise, wondering what happened to Labrys. Hardly what i'd call an ending, especially since it was the same for most (70%) of the characters.
If anything, prefer the character specific win message at the end of arcade mode.

Picked it up tonight. Artwork is beautiful. Animation is superb like all Arc System Works games.
I like it!
Edit: they can at least put a progress bar or percentage when installing!

I was under the impression that there are no rules bounding that, but edited.
Just common courtesy, game has only been out one day in the States (and won't hit Europe til next month), people don't know things about bosses or the story. I wasn't even aware of that until you posted it.
I was partially going off of what little I know about Marie, such as how the weather affects her, but also how Chosen Ninja a few days said she needs figuring out.
Can't say I've really kept up with Marie much though. She's pretty boring to me and I've fought against maybe one online.
I don't really think Rise is really straightforward though, especially after seeing Die-chan's Rise. Not saying she's overly complex either, but more somewhere in the middle.
For me, my ranking on the new console cast is Rise > Marie > Adachi > Margaret (still early) > Ken

Sounds like I need new tech.
Well, that and I need to stop being lazy and work on learning the OMB combo I have written down.

So could someone answer a couple questions about this game with as few spoilers as possible?
-Does this game's story take place after that of the original Persona 4 Arena?
-Does it address who the mystery antagonist was at the end of the first P4A?
-Does it end on yet another damn cliffhanger?
Edit: The Persona 4 Arena 1 DLC that's $10 on PSN, is it the complete story mode from P4A? or is it some abridged version of it?
