I love Persona 4 but only played it once. Persona 3 about half way.

What are the characters they could most realistically add to this? Seems like everyone else is a child or a dog or an announcer character.

It's been three years since P3; Ken's the same age as Kanji/Naoto/Rise.

And please, they're going to have to invent a new tier for Koro-chan he's so badass. Man's best friend INDEED.

They're out of major protagonists, right? It'd be really awesome if they got other SMT characters like Strange Journey armor dude, Raidou, Jack Frost, Nocturne dude, SMT4 guy...

why would you be glad on missing out on a great game? you have a juri avatar, so that sounds pretty silly considering that SSF4 -> AE and the Ultra is coming out. :p

Jiyuna said:
LK Special still works. Haven't seen Yosuke successfully glide yet :) I know it's new version/old combos, but damage seems lower. #P4U

Huh, so if a hit scores a run, and a whiff most likely a strike, then getting blocked should give him a ball I imagine? So 40 hits or maybe 160 blocked attacks for the power up. Sounds like Frank West kinda.

Not even close.

Koro, Shinjiro, P3 MC, P3 FeMC, Ken, Adachi, Dojima, Nanako...

Then you could also have characters from P1 or P2, but they would probably be better suited to Blazblue.

Oh wow, this isn't what I expected to come home to see. It's not Persona 5, but I'll take it! Some of those changes sound crazy.

Space Marine and Raidou would be so hype. I have a feeling the final two will be Ken and Koromaru though.

Why? It's a great game and when the new one comes out you'll have to completely learn the game while previous players will just have to adjust to changes.

Those are who I want at the moment, but if they can do some sort of creative playstyle like what they're doing with Junpei (at least with what I can tell so far) I'll be happy.

I avoided the first game specifically because of the region locking. I hope the sequel does not follow suit.

Wait... what? His mixups and oki is so good, especially in corner. It's not anything like Yu 5D, but he gets safe jumps and fast left and rights too.
Click to expand...

Anyone who's ever played an Akihiko knows to dodge corners like the plague.

And its possible too. You can chase people, but you really can't 'pin' them with Akihiko. Wake ups are just too versatile and there isn't much you can do aside from bait them or wait them out - and give up your advantage most of the time. Its a hard advantage to get too.

His AoA wasn't that bad. It was good for setups and could cross up.
Click to expand...

Pretty sure it was the slowest, and it's just so freaking obvious from the animation, and of course, his only overhead.
I always forget it crosses up, because it's so easy to get hit out of.

FeMC isn't canon, Adachi isn't really in the position to be canon fighting, and the latter two..well...

Canon, shamon, femMC is the real MC.
Arc wanted to but Dojima and Nanako in there as Dan like characters, Nanako being the Persona for Dojima, but they weren't allowed. lol

Misc info

@jiyunaJP The Shadow "Awakening" mode lets them spam supers on a timer!? What? S.Chie has a freeze. Narukami 214B knocks down!? No combo!? #P4U

Haven't confirmed but people are saying the Shadows have different moves than original characters.

It's not like the opponent wants to get cornered. Akihiko's midscreen BnBs usually end up with them closer to the corner and him getting a safe jump off of it. Against a really good Akihiko, it's hard to get him off of you unless you're willing to DP through his frame traps too.

Even still, I don't think Akihiko's even that bad midscreen once he has his opponent in a block string. His mixups are still there.

Kanji's is worse imo because of the range.
