Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena

Jiyuna awaring the masses

Chie defense force rise.

There’s patch notes. We got hit with a nerf on 5B Fatal Counter (not surprised) but Arksys threw Fatal Counters on ALL charged up special moves/EX-moves.

uh… what’s the button layout on this game??? There’s like 6 buttons that I saw on the arcade cabinet and I don’t know which one is A, B, or C.

…UGH! I’m a noob…

What…

ASW logic. Never ceases to amaze me.

They seem to do a good job not being able to figure out how to balance a game, lol.
<3 the Guilty Gear series, but holy fuck they messed up the balance on that game, even in Slash.

I feel like they’re balance out of character love from the staff…

i feel that they arent affraid to try different and sometimes kind of extreme stuff, of course not always works, but at least its better than nerfing everyone and having a “balanced” but dry cast (now if they werent harsh with the top tiers on the revisions it would be more fair)

besides, its not like they can patch it later to take it out because its dumb :rofl:
and the logic behind it is not “that” weird, you have to expend meter to get a nice reward, in theory sounds fair, but in practice, only time will tell

My problem with ASW is that… well…

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

They just completely turn shit upside down. I understand toning down some things there and there, but they switch numbers and properties around EVERYWHERE. One balance is completely different from the other, for better or for worse. In Blazblue, you had to basically relearn your character from scratch at every single revision, unless your name is Ragna.

i can understand that it can be frustrating, but as i said, its something that i like about them, they try different stuff, and the changes from BB have not being that extreme, outside BBCT and CS that you can count them as different systems altogether and CS to CSII where the only real change was the adition to wallbounds over some wallbouces that werent counter hit, mechanically wise the characters stayed very similar in each iteration, with the exeption of arakune from ct to cs

plus dunno you, but i feel that part of their experimentation comes from them testing stuff for their real show (GG)

The hell? Yosuke is King Rushdown so far.

From what I can make out barely from Google translate, it seems that Akihiko got buffs? If so, fuck yes.

Any chances that we’ll get a translated version of the P4A patch notes?

its ARCSYS / Arc System Works / ASW, people who play their games should know by now, seriously

maybe he talked about damage output, at least i hope that :eek:

Sorry, I don’t play any Arcsys games. This is the first one I’m really excited for.

Me neither Suparnovax, I tried getting into BlazBlue but it was just so ehhhh for me. P4A is the only one I’m really excited for because, well it’s fucking Persona, you can’t help not be excited for it. Add to the fact that it’s a game by ATLUS, just means that it’ll be even more awesome.

But staying on topic, it seems… the top tiers get better while the bottom tiers get worse? At least that’s how I’m seeing the patch list. It seems that Akihiko got buffed but lost his infinite? I don’t really know since I don’t really follow this game at all aside from watching matches. And it seems Elizabeth got buffed?

I just decided that I’m also going to use Chie and Naoto in P4A, along with Yukiko and Yosuke. So, this’ll be the first time I’ll have to learn more than 3 characters in a fighting game. Very interesting for me. :slight_smile:
Also, I’m sorry if I was a bit unclear with my last statement. Like I said, I don’t know what most of the fighting terms mean, so I tend to make mistakes without me noticing.

I was just talking about damage output, Yosuke can rushdown like an absolute mofo.

Accent Core is my favorite game, but I couldn’t get into Blazbue, but this is the fighting game I’m most looking forward to, too.

I couldn’t get into Blazblue for some reason either. Persona 4 will unify everyone!
