Crossing my fingers for Maya, Tatsuya, and Yukari to be added as additional characters. poo poo, add in Maki Sonomura too. There's a lot of potential for P1/P2/P3 characters to be added.

I'm hoping for Baofu, Katsuya, Ulala and maybe Elly. I know P1 and 2 aren't nearly as popular as 3 and 4 but I can always hope!

So what are the chances of this getting localized with the English voice actors? I like the idea of a P4 fighting game, but I don't know how excited I can get if I can't hear Kanji yell "Get bent!" while smashing a guy with a folding chair.

Aha! Is this my chance?

I'm just going to go out and make a guess that Tentarafoo's going to be balanced in the way that it still uses SP, and that really, Yosuke's whole deal is being fast and having "tricky" moves. His damage output would probably be low, so he's reliant on avoiding getting hit.

Yeah, I wasn't complaining there. I think it'll be loving hilarious. i'm assuming it'll have a slow startup, preventing it from being used on anyone who isnt being overly defensive.

Outside of the last two cast members, I really just want to see Yukiko's damage potential once she has some Fire Boost/Amp strings going. Death by fire, every round.

vv EDIT: Gotcha covered on that front.

MODOK in Marvel vs Capcom 3 has a move that does exactly this and MODOK is far from being overused or extremely difficult to fight. I'm sure it'll be balanced well and it won't be so much of a pain the rear end to fight against.

Unless there's plot stuff in the latter half of The Answer that would kill her or something, couldn't she just take the train?

I just bought an eightarc stick and can't wait for this game. Will be awesome.

Thought I hope that they add more persona 3 characters in it. I would love a 3 vs 4 battle. Rise vs Fuuka, Yoskue vs Junpei, Yukiko vs Mitsuru, the list goes on.

And then... There was Akihiko and Mitsuru. The official site also has three unknown icons left in its Twitter page, which means... We're missin' one last character for the game, though it'll probably be an NPC or somethin'.

It's an Ark System Works game, so I'm sure there'll be a #Reshuffle or something like that :v:

I won't be surprised if they try to sneak P3MC in as a final boss/unlockable/dlc character at this point.

That's a heck of an attention to detail if that's true. I'm so pumped. It looks like he has a cape as well, or at least a jacket wrapped around him.

Well once his Persona evolved he was about nothing but training (even if it seemed like negative character development...), so I think it's in line with that. Also, the reason you guys might not remember him getting wounded is because they never really told you what happened, just that he got hurt from the shadow.

Mitsy's looking pretty good. I figure since Chie and Kanji aren't really element inspired, these two will take the Ice and Elec roles. Being able to harm Yosuke in even more ways is worth it.

Honestly I can't imagine Akihiko using magic that much, I was thinking of him as a sort of rushdown character whose main focus is punching you in the face. Mitsuru though definitely.

edit: also, from the MegaTen thread:


Axle_Stukov posted:

Some bigger screenshots of Akihiko and Mitsuru. Mitsuru has learned how to use something other then Marin Karin, kidding aside the Bufudyne looks like it hurts alot judging by how much of Yukiko's health is red. Akihiko though... take that cape off, it looks ridiculous on you.

So THAT'S why she uses Marin Karin so much, I see how it is. Just from the screenshots, she'll probably give Jin Kisaragi a run for his money with her ice skills.

I wonder if this game will be canon since they seem to have an older Mitsuru and Akihiko. Hoping for more characters down the line if the game does well.
