I gotta hand it to ArcSys, they made Marie appropriately annoying.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax |OT| It's SHO time!

Never go random for music, always select a sweet track to fight to. My personal favorite is Persona Q's Maze of Life.
Pick Junes theme, it reduces lag.
Nice try, LOL.
But it really does though

There needs to be a big flashing message at the start of every match. "LET THE INTRO LOAD, IT REDUCES LAG!"
Or have Patrick Seitz yell it. People still skip them.
Also, Adachi's overcoat is boss.

Are there any Yukiko, Minazuki, Ken or Yukari mains here? Would like to play a long set to try and get better at the matchup.

Marie's downward aerial Persona thing is the most annoying attack I have ever seen.

I want to make a series of video tutorials about how to get into fighting games. Below is a rough draft of what I'm thinking of putting together. I just started it an hour ago, so it has a ton of gaps. I'm hoping folks here will give me feedback on the structure, as well as subjects that should be included, so that it can be a more full presentation for those wanting to learn. Even the main categories aren't set in stone, but it's how I think of things - maybe someone here will have a better breakdown.

anyone that wants to play feel free to add me (just let me know in the PSN comment about P4AU)
Despite going to Evo I havent been practicing.

Do you think I'm fucking joking?
You might as well be.
If it does reduce lag (which I seriously doubt), then it's by a infinitesimally small amount.
It's pretty much the ultimate troll; possibly the worst song ever to be introduced into a fighting game "supposedly" reduces lag. I feel bad for the people who fall for that!
Do you think I'm fucking joking?
Yes.
stupid jerk face
SEGA released financial reports recently, and apparently P4AU sold 2.8 million.

Whoa there. It did well, but maybe not that well.
Edit: Haha, that's actually what Siliconera wrote? Bang-up job.

280k does seem a bit more realistic.
2.8 million is just crazy, I don't think even the original arena hit the one million mark.
I can find the 6 million sold for persona series in the report on SEGA's website, but can't find anything referring to the number sold of P4U. Wonder how Siliconera got that number at all.
EDIT: Not the 2.8 million number, more of how much the game has sold in the thousands.
Ahh alright, I was remembering that the sold numbers were in the 200ks but not the exact amount. Was confusing 230k with 280k thinking they were the same number and that it wasn't increased at all.

One thing I'll throw in/mention is: Do a transcript/subs. Youtube supports them, it's only a matter of "timing" time-coding the subs to match what you're talking about and this also means that if someone is going to translate your video, they can give you subs to put into the proper time-coded areas.

Anyyyyyyway: 2.0 fixing Shadow Akihiko to be similar to his non-Shadow self? Going from P4U2 Aki (non-Shadow) to P4U Aki (Shadow) is a bit ... ugh.

I always forget how much of a treat this game can be until I watch it at a high level. Top 8 at CEO was fantastic. Tectal, Souji and Bananaken all played spectacularly and it was a joy to watch. Tectal persuaded me to give Rise an honest shot. She's not my favorite character by any stretch but he made her look so much fun that I can't resist.
Like BB, I feel like Persona has a lot of high level subtle stuff that just really adds up. Very fun to watch.
Unfortunately this game can make me feel salty at times, so I enjoy watching it more than playing it lol
High level Persona in the last few months has become such a great thing compared to where the game used to be. A lot of the stuff we thought would happen regarding people getting good enough at OS and fighitng OS happened, and the game has a distinct back and forth. Plus people are good enough at neutral now to make that look less jank too lol

Heh, if it works, it works. I'm terrible at punishing rolls in general. Even when I read or react to them I end up getting counterhit when I try to punish the recovery. I dunno what happened to the connection. It was perfectly fine for the first few matches before it went to hell. Kinda depressing too, since half of the matches I won were when it went haywire. >_> Ah well. ggs
Also fuck Narukami.

Should we give up hope for 2.0 of consoles at this point?

I've given up at this point. Game is probably going to be even less popular in the US/EU after EVO anyway.Should we give up hope for 2.0 of consoles at this point?
I guess there wasn't really enough substantial content in 2.0 to justify a port. Best case scenario for consumers would have been a free update. I think very few people would pay $10-$15 for what 2.0 offers when it's just mechanics/balance changes, a few more player icons and some Golden Arena Mode changes.
Actually, maybe the best case scenario would have been a free update for PS3 and 360, with a PS4 (and Xbox One) re-release but, again, I dunno how many people would get that. I don't even think Chronophantasma Extend is going to sell all that well, but that at least has new characters as an incentive for the non-absolutely hardcore.

Not one Liz in that list...
Extend adds one character, in my mind.
Thanks for the tip!

Episode Adachi is great so far. Not sure why you have to clear Episode P4 in its entirety to see P3, but oh well.
Best line in the game was Adachi's.

About how long are the story routes, anyway? I keep telling myself I'm going to get around to doing them.

Grinded out like 6 hours of Persona over the weekend with the local diehards. Feeling pretty ready for Evo and to see if I can make it out of pools. It'll be tough but eh, worth a shot. Managed to pull games off Shaka's Chie which is hard because of Chie pressure advantages and the fact Shaka knows the match-up very well as he's been playing with me and playing as Ken/Koro

Much shorter than P4A's and BBCP's. Story mode is around Xrd's length but with fighting.
That's for one episode, though. Episode P3, P4 and Adachi's should be, altogether, around 12-15 hours long.
Though I found a single episode to be longer than Xrd's story.
