We'll fight in your honor Inorigo! :D

Yeah, I need to write down the PersonaGAF people that are going so we can set up a meet up somewhere.

An international fighting game tournament in Las Vegas from July 12 until July 14. Costs $50 for a competitor pass and $10 for each game you are entering. Accommodations are like $99 a night average around Vegas.

It's probably the biggest fighting game tourney in the world that takes place once every year. Think it usually takes place in Las Vegas. Persona 4 Arena is one of the eight main games this year.

Well, Shankly here on GAF they'll have a thread for all of the streams, so you can watch most of the matches and the finals. You can watch me get destroyed ; ;

If EVO wasn't so far away I'd be all up for going there. Being in some part of middle of nowhere New York, that ain't in the cards. However, I sure as hell will be watching it.

Wish I could go to Evo this year. I'd enter Marvel, P4A, and Melee
and get wrecked in all of them
for sure.

You are pretty good with Yu, man. Hope you can make it, TWILT!

Wow, Melee and Marvel are so hype and I don't even play those. Persona 4 Arena is hype as well, but I think that the viewer needs to have somewhat of an understanding of the gameplay. Anime fgc etc.

Yeah, pretty sure I'm not going to EVO unless I get real lucky. I'm a Shadow Labrys main. Currently ranked #8 in EXP and #4 in PSR, on PSN, in the world, haha. Doesn't mean much, but it shows how much time I spent with the game.
Click to expand...

Holy crap, man. You could darkhouse P4A :)

Well, best of luck, the more the merrier and you wouldn't be alone out there.

Real talk if anyone from Persona-GAF hears my name when I'm called for Pools or anything, feel free to say hey! :D I'll be signed up for all the games but MK and TTT2, so I'll be running around all weekend (or at least all Friday and Saturday, lol).

Oh, definitely man. I'm putting together a list of people going and I'll get their fighting game handles so if there happens to be a stream on the pools, PersonaGAF can watch/cheer/boo us.

I hope that some Atlus employees make it out there, I want to buy one of those P4A shirts :)

Well, depending on a couple of things, they might be pressured into an EVO East, which would definitely make it easier people. Or so I've heard.

Pretty sure The Fall Classic is confirmed, they just haven't given any details out on it yet.

That is great, it'll probably a take while to get near the level of EVO, but it's great to have something out east. How many people do you think will be at EVO this year?

I probably couldn't make any accurate estimates as to total entrants, but I'd say Marvel and SF4 will probably, at the least, have 1500 entrants each, maybe SF4 could have upwards of 2000? Like I said, not entirely sure, just sort of making a ballpark guess.

As for The Fall Classic, it'll take time to get to the level of Evo, but Evo is its own beast, really. The Fall Classic will have all the big East Coast TO's, like LI Joe, Sweet Johnny Cage, Shinblanka, and Big E., so it'll definitely have quite the reputation just from who'll be setting it up, at the least.

A mix of Tamahome from Fushigi Yuugi and my old Everquest/World of Warcraft character Nonsha.

And Nonsha was an anagram of my ex Shannon.

Omg. How can you look at him and say he's your least favourite??? I want a RPG-dog crossover game. Boney, Repede, Koromaru, etc. The bosses can be those lame cats from FF7.

I like his design. I like the idea of the party having a pet.

I don't like the idea of a dog having a Persona.

In my mind, the androids are way weirder than the dog.

...I think it was Keiichi who argued that the designs for them are blatantly pandering? I agree with him...A tiny bit...somewhat....:x

After what Persona 2 had, almost nothing in this series is weird. :p

Actually weirdness has really just been a part of the series from the beginning. So yeah...
Click to expand...

To be fair, the whole crux of Persona 2 is RUMORS BECOME REALITY? HOLY SHIT IS WHAT I AM SEEING ACTUALLY HAPPENING? WHAT THE FUCK MAN HOLY CRAP DUDE!

Tesso also makes sense in the context of what is actually going on, but yep, still silly.

Oh lol, that video was a dude playing on an emulator, it mixed up the song that is supposed to be used for the boss fight there.

Even with the premise, it's still far sillier than the Androids, who fit the Jungian themes pretty well. =P

The music for Tesso helps. :D

Koromaru was actually one of the earliest planned characters, according to Soejima. If anything, Ken was thrown in to tick an anime trope checklist. =P

I liked how Persona 4 characters had to face the structural manifestation of their psyche in order to get a Persona. In Persona 3, the characters just have them. And Koromaru, as cool as he may be, is pretty silly :)

A dog needs a facade to overcome life's hardships? Dog's have a psychic apparatus?

Kandori was a cool villain in Persona 1
and 2

P3 had the absolute worst ones, and P4 had a decent one but, yea.

I honestly don't remember what Strega's intentions were lol. They just kinda...screwed around during Dark Hour? Then handed out flyers for the final boss?
