Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena

It’s not like I would have to do it every single time, unless people keep erasing the data for no reason.

I’d like it if it were tournament standard to have JP voices, but most people in vanilla MvC3 tournaments were kind enough to let me change Tron’s voice to jp whenever it was in English, so hopefully people will still be kind here.

At least its not the 30-40 hour Story Mode XD

In other news for those who seen the FinestKO stream…

S.LAB Mirror matches are INSANE and more** hilarious** then Tager Mirrors (As well as mad hype:0, imagine a Carl Mirrors with Nirvana being 3x bigger)
So much crap everywhere it reminds me of SfxT scramble mode on Speed
It makes Marvel 3 make sense in comparison, I did not know what the hell I was watching.

If you didn’t see the American S.Lab mirror games check out the archives of FinestKO if you want to witness the madness. There was two of them, one from the tourney(mid-way through) and another was a $2 MM at the end of tourney

Why the hell would the option to turn off the navigation voice open up AFTER you beat the arcade mode? It should be an option from the start, not a reward.

What’s this color supposed to be? Wasn’t in the color palettes that leaked when the game got ripped so I’m guessing it’s DLC.

Okay…finally, I finished all the a-cho vids.

That last one was not one to look at if you’re looking for character variety. The bulk was taken up by Yukiko vs Elizabeth and then the second half is Yukiko vs. Yu. First couple of minutes was Yu mirrors, in the middle it was Yukiko vs. complete scrubs playing Mitsuru and Aegis, and the end was a couple of matches of Yukiko vs. Naoto.

As you can see, it was the Yukiko video. Some damn good play though. Biggest highlight was seeing Elizabeth bust out the IK and actually get it to land. It was beautiful.

Which video is this? The last one you posted? I want more Yukiko! I’m going to main her so I want all the Yukiko I can get.

Yes, and because I figured people might want to get the link without backtracking, here it is again.

Pretty much the entire video minus the first 15-20 minutes is ALL Yukiko.

Yeah, turns out I forgot about the Kanji/Elizabeth battles in the beginning as well, my bad. Still pretty much an hour of Yukiko though.

I just came out of GameStop and bought SFxT for $25 since enough time has passed and I know what I’m paying for but my intent was to get some intel on P4 and what GameStop is offering. Dude tried to upsell the holy hell out of SF25 and that Ryu belt but the real kicker here is that GameStop wants $65 before tax for P4.

WTF, this game better be the holy grail.

Uh…if it’s that bad, just buy it online. You could probably catch some deals on the cheap too.

No it’s not bad per say as the cost of gaming has gone up, it’s just ridiculous to me that GameStop is oblivious that their getting outsold left and right; place is digging it’s own grave.

Then let it dig. Hell, I’ll take a shovel and help too.

I should go back there and see if they sell pre-owned shovels at a ridiculous markup that is only slightly mitigated by an inflated annual membership program fee.

Hopefully I can snag a real copy next Thursday or Friday.

Talk to the manager when you go in to buy Persona 4 Arena. Tell him ____ (____ being the employee name printed on your SFxT receipt) told you that it would be $64.99 BEFORE tax. (this will be the kicker as if he told you this he’d try to pocket the excess money for himself) He would scan the barcode on the back, and that would tell the computer the price there is no way to ring up a custom price AFAIK as everything is mandated by Gamestop corporate and it’s through a point of sale system, there isn’t a way to ring up stuff that doesn’t have a barcode. He would still ring it up normally, so it would be $59.99 before tax. After tax it would be $65.23 according to the sales tax rate of NYC. With the bogus price he gave you, though, it would end up being $70.67 after tax. So he would essentially be pocketing $5 for himself, he might of possibly been teaching himself sleight of hand tricks to put a bill up his sleeve or something like that.

And if he’s tried it on you, there’s no telling how often he’s gotten away with it if it wasn’t just a slip of the tongue.

I hate that particular GameStop because they will try and sell you your own teeth right out of your mouth. I try to be “polite” about it but sometimes I have to raise my voice and be like, “No I don’t want ANYTHING OTHER than what’s currently in your hand, ring it up!” Once I heard that P4 price point I knew I was “listening” for far too long. Amazon will get my money instead (cheaper and free shipping). Sadly I think I missed out on that NewEgg deal for P4 though.

So wait, how does Akihiko’s mix-up game work? I don’t understand the options he is given when he stance cancels, or whatever.

Well he has his Boomerang Hook for more pressure and he can charge it up to make it unblockable, you can go into sweep or All-Out Attack. Go into Duck to crossup with Corkscrew, or you can go into Weave to bait a button and then go into the above.

Persona 4 Arena will debut at the Big Two on launch week (August 8th). Please show support and stop by!

Do it for Sp00by.
