Gwyrgyn Blood posted:That would make sense and I suspect that's probably what it is, but it seems like a strange word to use to describe that. Also seems strange to make it a per-player kind of choice and not just an option in the Options menu. It's called navigation because Rise served that role using her Persona's power. Instead of going into the TV world, she'd be outside and do dumb poo poo like remind you about enemies' weaknesses and say WATCH OUT SENPAI or whatever else.

I want the chill weed fox from the shrine as a playable character. Seriously, though, I went ahead and jumped on that Newegg discount deal for this and then started watching some videos, and I gotta say the game has me somewhat more excited than I had expected. I'm definitely interested in giving the axe robot girl (both versions I guess) and Akihiko a try.

I think you're freaking out prematurely given that normal burst, gold burst, and dead angle attacks were all present in the mostly universally beloved Guilty Gear games and yet they didn't ruin them. Moving on, BrokenTier put together a very brief introduction to the pros and cons of each character, complete with a link to footage of said character in action: http://www.brokentier.com/blogs/news/6324820-persona-4-arena-simple-character-guide Also, IPlayWinner has all those official wallpapers that you have to play that card game to unlock up on their site: http://iplaywinner.com/fighting-game-images/persona-4-arena-wallpapers

I sure love me some Challenge Mode combos. I've only done 29 for Labrys so far, with 20-25 for most everyone else. Speaking of Labrys 29, there's a non-obvious trick you need to know to do it. When Labrys does her 22+attack special, she can charge it to delay the sword from popping out of the ground. What the game doesn't outright tell you is that you can switch the button you charge with without changing where the sword pops out as long as you switch held buttons before the animation of the sword entering the ground. The challenge calls for 22[A] with a Standing A right after it, so what you can do is 22A~[C] into the A 2B XX super.

Gwyrgyn Blood posted:You also don't need to start holding down the A button until after the link where you need the 5A. So you can actually just do: I'd tried it that way, but it felt way weirder, especially with the super cancel also needing A shortly after. It's good to know that both methods work, though.

If anyone is looking for one character to complete all the Challenges for so as to unlock the announcer for that condition, Shadow Labrys is by far the easiest choice. Even her Challenge 30 isn't so bad once you have the right plan.

JumbocactuarX27 posted:Does anyone have any general strategy videos for Yu? It seems like the plan is to stay as close to your opponent as you can and then combo the poo poo out of them. I don't play Yu myself, but his broad gameplan is to land a hit, do a decent combo, and end it with some kind of knockdown (generally sweep, I would imagine) into his Standing D so he can pressure the opponent on their wakeup (or just catch a napping opponent not teching). You especially want to drive the opponent to the corner where it's tougher for them to escape the pressure, and be mindful of when the opponent might want to burst, guard cancel, or use some sort of invincible reversal to try and escape your pressure.

Dr Pepper posted:I don't get why a "charge character" even exists because it's a retarded, counterintuitive idea. The fact that mastering Mitsuru's terrible controls gives you a pretty irritating character for everyone else to fight against it the biggest flaw in this game. Charge moves exist in general because they are moves with properties that, if they had a quarter-circle or even half-circle motion, would be far too good. Also, just because you don't happen to like charge motions or you just hate Mitsuru or whatever, it doesn't make charge motions terrible.

Dr Pepper posted:Balancing moves by deliberately giving them terrible controls is a dumb idea. If a moves so powerful you decide to "balance" it by making it hard to activate then the move should not exist. A) They're not hard to do and B) even if they were, the supposed difficulty of performing them is not what I was referring to when it came to their deliberate design from a balance standpoint. Seriously, charge moves and charge characters are not that hard to get used to, and Mitsuru is especially generous because she can completely build a charge during her sweep as long as you go to down-back immediately after pressing her standing B (during that move's active animation).

Dr Pepper posted:It's almost like it's a flaw holding the genre back! This game has already made so many concessions to make things as simple as possible execution-wise and yet you still are complaining because you don't want to take five minutes in training mode to find out how long the charge times for Mitsuru's moves are. Do you need this kind of extreme hand-holding in everything you play?

I've been trials grinding lately because I am dumb like that, and I've gotten down to three painful trials left: Chie 30, Mitsuru 30, and Yosuke 30. Chie 30 is especially lovely because, even though I understand that I have to start with 214D for the Fatal Counter and that the God Hand has to hit as high as possible, I have not once gotten the 2A after the first God Hand to connect.

I said this in the general thread, but there appears to be a new TV shaped indicator under the BURST gauge that shows your character's persona now. I could see that potentially meaning there'd be different persona choices for the characters, although I guess it could just be an aesthetic change, too.

Stunedge sorta clarified the SLab comment:quote:somebody mentioned S.lab 2C mash thing earlier so I will clarify. The important distinctions here are that she can't make Asterius act during guardstun or when she's knocked down, but rather if guardstun drops but Asterius was still in its block mode and during her wakeup. At least, that's how it reads to me, though it admittedly still seems unclear. In any event, even if she can call the uppercut while locked in guardstun now, I really doubt that would stay through to the final product.

Not having the defensive benefits of a defensive Burst or of Awakening reducing damage taken when you get down that low seems to be the big things, to the point where most people weren't using Shadow characters and they had to give them general system buffs in the 1.1 patch.
