Persona 4 Arena Ultimax: Out in NA, It's Time You Burn That Dread

[Lythium]

Wow, that's much sooner than I anticipated. Awesome! :3

 

[Rutger]

Just found out about this news.

With the GGXXAC+ port announced I don't even care if this game ends up like BBCT. I'm hyped for anything.
Still gonna hope it turns out well though.

Gonna update the thread now.
Edit:
And realize that there is nothing to add other than the new name, and I kind of like the old Engrish name. :/

"New console-exclusive STORY AND ONLINE MODES!"

 

[Lythium]

Console-exclusive is probably just referring to as opposed to arcades.

 

[asianaussie]

teddie, a fan favourite?

maybe if they took away that ridiculous running noise of his

dungeon combing has never been so irksome

*squeek squeek squeek squeek squeek*

I know right?
How un-bear-able!

 

[Jam Stunna]

I'm pretty excited for this game. I hope the Persona 3 protagonist is revealed as a playable character eventually. I also want Rise, but that seems pretty unlikely.

Apparently, they want the game to be canon, so that's unlikely.

I want Rise also, but I think she's the announcer.

Well at the very least you can get his color. :3

I still say there is a chance he can show up as a boss character, Elizabeth was looking for a way to save him during P4.

Him coming back wrong sounds like an easy plot for this game imo.

 

[Rutger]

The Arcade game comes out March 1st!

http://andriasang.com/con032/p4_arena_date/

In about one week we will finally get some new match videos. :D

 

[Jam Stunna]

Awesome. I can't wait to see what it looks like when players get used to it.

 

[Rutger]

This game didn't take long to make at all it seems.
I'm a little worried about the balance, but I don't care too much thanks to the new GG port.


Anyways, another tutorial video.

[Jam Stunna]

I think they probably just decided to wait until late in development to announce it, which I wish more games would do.

Brand new character!

As in a character that has not existed in the Persona 3/4 universe yet. :3

Labrys, a mecha girl for the consoles. She will probably get patch into the arcades when they are done if BB is anything to go by.

No pictures or anything, but she exists apparently. :/

 

[Rutger]

Here's what the new girl, Labrys looks like.

Also, the game is going to be hitting Japanese arcades really soon, get hyped!

 

[Lythium]

Ooh, she looks interesting. :3c

 

[Omni]

Awesome. So stoked.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

... That's it, I'm maining her and Mitsuru.

That ponytail is too hawt.

 

[Jam Stunna]

So much for staying canon. Minato for P4A!

 

[sakuraZaKi]

I don't see how adding new characters to a... err... sequel (?) is disrupting the canon...

 

[Minato]

Game is out. Here's the stream that's going on. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/naka-joy-stream

 

[Jam Stunna]

Match video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DYJdlRmy3c&feature=g-all&context=G2e9b0a4FAAAAAAAACAA

 

[Rutger]

The first part to the video Jam posted.

I will be updating the first post with match videos by the characters playing, at least for the beginning. If something big comes out, like an hour+ long Gameacho video, then I'll probably just create a general section for those.

 

[Sunnysunny]

DID YOU SEE THAT KUMA GAMEPLAY?!
Eeeee~
My hearts at ease knowing how great a zoner he is~ His normals are huge, and hes chock-full of item set up shenangans. Im so hyped for this game now!
A shame we couldn't see any Aki, or gun girl action though.

Still. Kumaaaa~ <3

Thanks for the stream Mina~ This day woulda bored the crap outta me with nothing to do if it wern't for that.

Yukiko vs Teddie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IazqY9zg5RA

Yu vs Kanji

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbqtwdWg8fo

Chie vs Kanji

I think I will gray out the description of a video on its second post, to try and make it easier to find things in the first post.

Day one Kanji is pretty silly. :3


Also, there is apparently an astral finish type move for the characters in the game, I'll add that into the first post.







Edit:

Arcade mode final boss,

Spoiler

Shadow Labrys.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dMFYldv_Oo

Yep, this is definitely a P4 sequel, wouldn't be without one of those bosses. :3

 

[Jam Stunna]

I'm really liking Chie.

 

[Minato]

I've only seen a few videos of Aigis on nico, and I haven't seen anything great so far.
I don't know who I'll end up using more, Aigis or Naoto at the moment.

 

[Rutger]

Definitely Yosuke for me.

Chipp pallet all day. :3

I want to try out Naoto too.

HD video of the final boss, the old one was taken down so I'll replace those links.

Oh god, the instant kill in this game, match point yellow burst at the start of the round is silly. XD

 

[Omni]

I'm using everyone and will be the best Persona 4 player in the US.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Mitsu or Yukiko for me.

Sorry Brosuke

Naoto is looking REALLY good.

 

[Rutger]

P4A is going to be at SBO this year.

[Lythium]

Ooh, neat! It's cool that it made it in. :3

I'm really liking Chie.

Her breasts aren't big enough for you.

Oh god, crossdressing Teddie victory pose. XD

Also, Shadow Yu!

Don't know what he is, he could just be like the unlimiteds in BB, but he's there. :/

 

[Lythium]

Could also be the final boss or something. Though that's probably Labrys, I imagine.

 

[Rutger]

The arcade mode final boss has already been shown.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dMFYldv_Oo

Looks like it's the fourth match, so mid-boss maybe? Could still just be something like the unlimiteds as well.

 

[Lythium]

Ah, I didn't know that! Interesting...

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Think it's unlimiteds.

Is that Arcade Boss going to be DLC'd to be playable or is she playable already? I've read about her before but didn't get that part.

 

[Lythium]

Console exclusive, I think.

I was kinda interested, but she looks mad slow.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I'm playing the guy with the chair.
