So you can mash one button and get a full combo into a super. This isn't a easy mode option or anything, just something you can do.

Here's a PDF showing the movelist.

Looks dead simple - I don't even know if some of the moves will have L/M/H versions because specials involve multiple buttons.

236, 214, 236236, 214214, 22, and 2 for motions, it seems. That's about it. A few charge motions here and there, but nothing huge.

I never thought I'd get :smug: about execution in fighting games, but no DP inputs at all?

One of my only issues with this game is that the character movesets seem a little barren compared to previous arcsys games. Do you think this was an intentional choice or just the result of trying to keep things simple (if nothing else, no dp motions cuts down on the maximum number of moves)?

He's a shadow. All the human plot characters don't have an arcana higher then 13 because of DEEP SYMBOLISM.


Since we're already at 13 characters I doubt it'll happen, but I think it'd be really cool if we got koromaru so this can actually be jojos. Also please give protag an option to have his collar be popped or not like how you pick glasses tia

There is currently Persona 4 Arena on this stream, right here. Come on down!

Was this saved anywhere? Failing that anyone have some gameplay you seriously recommend? I haven't been keeping up with this game at all, and aside from an elizabeth video where she did a fullscreen combo into a reset into death from about 80% everything I've seen has been pretty mediocre.

Thought up the best possible idea for a new character that will never happen, both protagonists from persona 3, ice climbers style.

From what I've gathered, all awakening does is give you an extra supers worth of meter and a longer maximum bar, let you use another super, reduce damage a bit, and possibly make you slowly regen meter when you aren't doing anything? (it was like that in BB, dunno if they kept that like they kept the lovely throw system). Having an extra meter is worthless if you don't do anything with it, and since it only kicks in when you aren't in a combo there's the pro-strat of intentionally doping your combo before it kicks in and then doing a reset and killing them before it can even turn on. It's not "hey I hit all the buttons and you didn't guess right, looks like you lost"

I really can't get the desire for Yukari being in this.

Yukari adds another demographic of anime waifus that isn't covered at all by any of the wafius already in the game, was basically the heroine of persona 3 until they realized how popular aigis was and made FES, and since she was in everyone's party at all times I guess people just got attached to her.

As for moveset like the other guy said make her play like mina/hawkeye and have her zoning game be less about setups and screen control and more about putting lots of projectiles on the screen, I dunno, I never really wanted her but I can see it working out okay.

darealkooky
Sep 15, 2011

You sayin' I like dubs?!?
What about the fact that Yukari gets way more actual character development stuff outside of slinks compared to everyone else? Being in an identical situation to the protagonist and getting the most scenes with him out of your entire party (who aside from Junpei really don't get any at all?). I'm not sure how Mitsuru can really be anything resembling a heroine when outside of slinks you talk with her twice in the entire game. Aigis being the only person on the roof until the psp game is A Thing, but I dunno, I don't really wanna sit here white knighting a videogame character.


So, Elizabeth, why is she bottom tier? Is she reverse Phoenix where her options just dont make up for her health, or is everyone else just even dumber? Like, I'm still gonna sub her because she looks really fun to play, but I wanna know what excuse to use to justify my losses.

Yeah more or less. She's a "glass cannon" and her defensive options are loving terrible, and her offensive options aren't good enough to make up for it.

I see, that sucks. When I see her do a 50% combo from fullscreen into a grab reset into another 50% combo from fullscreen against a character like chie who apparently has megadumb pressure I guess I just found it hard to believe.

I knew quite a few girls that sounded like chie in highschool. I gotta agree that the new voices aren't as good, but they're also less horrible in game/when you get used to 'em.

DLC glasses is probably the worst thing ever but this game is pretty awesome so it's okay.

MY ANIME GF posted:

Anyone got any Elizabeth tips?

Here are my scrubby day-1 opinions.

- Only use her autocombo for styling on people, the moves aren't good and you dont need the extra meter (does liz even GET meter from landing hits?)
- at neutral throw out B attacks. In parctular crouching B is really good because it leaves you in the air afterwards, meaning if you hit someone with it you can instantly do air B and they get to sit there and block
- Her persona normals are all disgusting but you need to be careful with them because if you get persona broken you might as well just put down the controller because you just lost 90% of what makes you good. standing C has really good range but you need to make sure it hits them, after that you can cancel into one of three things: crouching C dinosaur roar (has armor and fears them, beats mashers) D grab/posion (beats honest people that sit there and block you) or lightning (safest option)
- crouching C, standing/jumping D, and her normal grab all cause fear, you really want this because when you hit someone in fear state you get automatic fatal counters (they can't tech your combo until they hit the ground) this is how do all those incredibly silly 8k combos that last 10 seconds.
- Her invicible grab is techable and jumpable, be careful with it (I've noticed you can mash it in the middle of labryss blockstrings, that's A Thing) also keep in mind it doesn't actually do damage/has a longer startup/is harder to combo afterwards and that you should use her regular throw sometimes
- Ghastly wail during fear does something silly like 6k damage :getin:, you can even combo into it (even though it's a grab) by doing freeze -> all out attack ->one more cancel -> ghastly wail
- Day 1 troll tactic, combo into ex lightning and mash on whiffed grabs

Now that i'm playing her labrys is actually a lot of fun, how the hell do you play this character besides mashing on her DP and doing autocombo? I've noticed that her persona normals are all projectiles, I feel like that and her spike could lead to some serious setups.

Nope, they spoil pretty much every single moment/character interaction in persona 3/4.

Here's what I'm doing, at the moment. It puts the enemy into fear state and paralyze for a nasty reset if you have the meter.

B, C, C c.C, QCB A (Freeze Up Slash Thing), SP QCF A, (Ex-Bigass Beam), and then reset. The BEST way to do this combo, IMO, would be to use mind charge in the middle and immediately reset with the 600k command grab hyper once they're paralyzed.

you can actually combo into the grab super with ice -> all out attack -> one more cancel -> super. the first hit of an all out attack (and a couple other moves among the roster) put people in this goofy looking spinning state that lets you grab them during a combo

day 2 impression of this game is that it still rules, two things that I really noticed today are the various little ways persona attacks work (elizabeth can do her jumping C, land, and fire her laser above her head) and the awesome title system.

How the titles work is the game gives you GIGANTIC (unlockable) list of 1-2 word long fragments, and you can stick three of em together in any order you want (you can also leave spots blank)

it's a really excellent feature, especially since it has everything you could ever want
