There is no way there are no random icons on the character select screen. I don't recall any ASW fighting game that doesn't have one, one needs to consider how the characters would be laid out in arcades (where there wouldn't be a dedicated random button) and one would need to consider arcade sticks which wouldn't have that button as a default.
Definitely gonna put some of my soul in Yosuke. I somewhat unsuccessfully tried to main him in P4A but I really like the changes they've made in Ultimax. He just looks... incredibly stylish. I suck at cross-ups, but I'll learn if I have to!
Definitely gonna try and learn Yukari, too. She was straight up my number one desire for any possible sequel to P4A, so I'm really happy to finally get to play as her in the game.
MY ARROWS DON'T MISS
Not sure that's too uncommon in fighting games, really, but it's cool. Famitsu's article on the P4AU event pointed out how surprised they were to see how many female fans the game had, which is similar to a report stating the large number of female fans P3M #1 had last year.

Heh-heh.
Oh God Bruce, My sides. LOL
Anyone have an idea on when you think Marie and Marge would be added?

I have no idea what's going on with Ultimax, but i love all this new content and speculation.
The only way we'll know for sure about the new characters is when Atlus reveal an updated character select screen.
Any ideas on the new game modes? We still have two blanks spaces. Im guessing one will be network mode featuring that new lobby system and other online features.
That leaves one more.

Persona's is remarkably less sexed-up than most other games.
The only really lewd ones are Mitsuru, Akihiko and maybe Teddie.
Really? I mean aside from Skullgirls and maybe BB, I can't think of a mainstream fighting game where the gender ratio is evenly split/in favor of females.
The ones that come to mind (Marvel, Streetfighter, Killer Instinct, Tekken Injustice) are definitely male-centric.
I'm thinking Skullgirls, Dead or Alive, Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax, Arcana Heart, BlazBlue, UNIEL and Super Smash Bros. If it's for the more mainstream fighters (aka Capcom, Namco Bandai and NRS), then yeah, it's probably pretty uncommon.
Does it? I thought people were content with it, what with all the Ubisoft mocking, but guess not.
The games I listed
But I guess you're right, anime fighters tend to have an even gender ratio.
EDIT:
Smash Bros still has a long way to go before the gender ratio is split

WHENS MAYA
At the end of the next b'ak'tun.
Today last year, Index announced plans to start selling their assets the following week, incorporating Atlus. Things turned out pretty well, in retrospect.

YU, Rise, Naoto and Marie.
Yu was my main in Arena (even though I barely played the game) so I'll probably stick with him. Also interested in trying out Rise, Marie, Junpei and [Redacted].

Elizabeth, I know that she has her own tier, and that tier is shit.
But honestly I had the most fun with her in the original P4A, She's actually the only character that I could use that can mount damage, (aside from Yu's sliding kick)
Her Awakening skill buffs are very interesting, the fact that she now has 6 persona cards is also a boon in my book.
Other than that I would play Yukari and Junpei.
Oh, I literally meant even (as in 50-50). Super Smash Bros IV's gender ratio is significantly better than before, and i'm totally okay with it.
Does anyone else feel like Chief Todoroki has given the fuck up?
Look at this man's face, guys. This is the face of a man who has no fucks left to give. That is the grim determination of someone who doesn't want to do jack shit anymore.
Then again, if I had to hang out with this loser all day:
That is exactly the face I would make.
Chief Todoroki is this classy guy whose job now is to spread high school gossip about weapons shops. Probably does not help.

I said earlier that I doubted he would appear as a playable character. But I think the reaction is understandable since he is the most important character in the series.

Played a few matches against Banja and Flux.
Damn Flux has a lot of time on his hands.

I was in the lobby too! And it was an honour losing to FluxWaveZ.

*sigh* I doubt there would have been this much hope for

Elizabeth's story in Arena
P3/P4/P4A spoilers:
Remember what Margaret said in P4. Elizabeth's quest could take eons to finish. Even if he's playable, it won't be a permanent thing.
lol ok
Oh, that was you guys, huh. I had no idea. Left after cycling the lobby 1-2 times 'cause it's usually no fun for anyone when the matches are lopsided.
And yeah, if it wasn't obvious before, I take P4A kinda seriously, heh.

That's why I wasn't expecting him.
But as said before the current situation doesn't seem to be definitive.
Just said that to tease people. lol
Not to take anything away from Flux (since he's good), but you could do it too.
It's just about finding something or someone to point you to the right direction and getting the flow of things.

Well what I meant was fighting games like Street Fighter for example that rely on "UP+DOWN+X+B for Fire attack than combo into DOWNRIGHT+A+Y+LT at the same time!". Or Mortal Kombat for example.
I excel mostly at Smash Bros where those kind of games don't REALLY have you hammer in those combos to win. It's a lot more free that way. That and Soul Caliber for some reason is good to me even though it kinda contradicts what I just said. XD
Than again I never actually played a Persona Arena game before so maybe I just need to shut up and play the game before I judge.

Uhh.... you haven't played fighting games recently have you? Nevermind the impossibility of hitting both Up and Down at the same time.
For the record, what you're describing is not combos, but execution. Of which the original Persona 4 Arena had pretty straight execution requirements. Most of them were Quarter Circles + a single button press. :\
For most people, "maining" four characters means that you're not maining any of them.
oh goddammit
Oh, I don't know about that. Were you watching Melee at Evo this year? Smash might be one of the games where combos are the most important, though you're right that they're more free-form and situational in nature.
Edit: Oh, you were talking about execution, I guess.
Do you mean, like "spammers" or people who rely on auto-combos all the time? Not to imply you're looking to, but if one wants to improve at the game, negatively perceiving others' playstyles is probably the first mindset to get rid of.
Real answer: Assuming you're not in need of basic information about the genre, check the BBCP OT.
Do you know what 236C means?
Yes.
For what it's worth, I've played a shitload of competitive 64, a decent amount of Melee and would consider Smash as my main fighting game. I can tell you that Persona is one of the traditional fighters I enjoy the most, alongside Street Fighter.
