Persona 4 Arena Sequel Announced [Japanese arcade-only update for now]

even if its easy. It shouldn't be needed to punish a reversal super that does a grip of damage. I mean I would be ok with it being punishable by IB if it did less damage or if yu had less options. But the fact is that he has a grip of options + that. Its like why?

Also its not the fact that they have reversal supers. Those are fine. Its the fact that they do a stupid amounts of damage. If it did like 2k~. Fine. But they don't.

I'm all for nerfing the damage off of reversal supers. Especially Naoto's (and that you can SMP when cornered).

It's just a nitpick of mine when people don't realize how much IB can help them in air dash fighters.
Applying it makes the game and matchups a lot easier in some cases in higher level.

I can understand stuff like this can frustrate a majority of players though, but I'd like to think tourney players would know how to utilize it.

Welp, good thing I held out on buying this.

This sounds stupid, but I was really disappointed that P4A for the PS3 didn't have any artwork in the inside of the game case. All the Persona PSP games have inside art dammit!!

when I first started playing I was testing out IB a lot. Early on I was trying to figure out how to punish raging lion and mitsu's coup with IB.

I then realized why very few people do it. The fact that if you fuck up, they get massive damage. If you did it right, you get like a 2k punish.

IB is a great tool but it still doesn't change the fact that certain characters are just too good and one dimensional.

I haven't bought the original version yet. If this version comes with a different story mode than the original story mode, I don't know what I am going to do.

There's no way this is just a DLC update.
There are some big system changes, which essentially doubles the cast of characters.

Can Akihiko not go into every fight 2 on 1 this time please?

And Junpei looks like he turned into Lindsey Lohan's dealer

I know it's off topic, but punish Raging Lion with DP (on reaction it's not hard either). He can't do a solid blockstring into it unless it's off of 5D.
Droit can only be punished off of IB, but only with moves with 5 frame startups. Obviously IBing this one on reaction is a big no, so sadly, all you can hope for is that you buffered an IB an anticipation :-/ But yeah, I wouldn't say IB is the end all solution with good moves like that. I mostly use it for the obvious ones, or tap down-back rhythmically during their block string.

I honestly think this game needed barrier/FD. You practically lose with Liz and Labrys if you get 5A'ed by a Chie. :(

Hell no, it won't.

But I think it may be an easier pill for some people to swallow if the story material is all-new, as well.

ArcSys wont be happy until they make P4A cheper than Marvel. I hope he got some nerfs to go with this new tool.

This is a bit premature.

For all we know, they probably nerfed him into the ground, and his new move could be shit. There's no way of knowing for sure.

(I hope he's "good" at the bare minimum)

Yeah, we're at 15 characters, most likely 17, and the fact there's now playable Shadow characters, basically doubles it to 30 or 34. This is starting to lean closer towards a sequel.

Dear ArcSys:

If you do a console port for this, please please please make Score Attack actually be Score Attack and not Unlimited Mars again.

Love, Noi

I got blown up for trying to dp raging lion with yukiko. Never again have I tried to dp that shit. Also dp needs to be addressed. The fact that some can do it in the air, without a persona, and can be super cancelled is kind of stupid.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
There is SO much being added to this that there's absolutely no way this could be DLC.

Agreed, a Japanese full release to coincide with the P3 movie makes the most sense.

So looking forward to this, now that Yukari's in I can drop Yukiko as my main.

I'm fine with Yukiko DP being weird/wack , it's useful in other situations, but she needs stuff to make up for it, like an air special, faster A, ability to hurt S-Lab's Persona, and buffed level up

Thinking this will be DLC vs a new disc release is some wishful thinking with ASW involved.

The overhaul seems too grand for it to be just a DLC though..... I wouldn't mind buying it if it's a sequel though...

Here is me secretly wish that they will make Theodore and Margaret playable, although I have no idea what their Personas could be. :p

Good lord, YES to this. Maybe make a separate Score Attack where you gotta fight all the shadows. But let Score Attack be similar to BB CSE.

Hahahahaha, I should've waited for the Yukari and Junpei version. :(

Where is my fucking Minato for Minato vs Seta fights?

/AND WHERE IS MY FUCKING AKIHIKO BUFF ARC?

Wait, so they have an overdrive system on top of their normal stuff?
Yeah, it might just be like Unlimited/EX/Shadow Characters then.

Do BlazBlue/Guilty Gear have those in arcades though?
I thought those were just console additions.
