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

[LivewiresXe]

Yeah, I'm thinking of getting and going through Persona 3 and 4, but my current order bit of RPGs to play is going: Finish Suikoden 2 again> play through FFVIII a second time (first in YEARS) > decide between playing through Suikoden V a 2nd time/Legend of Dragoon 2nd time/Vanguard Bandits/a Wild ARMs game, get ahold of Suikoden 3 or 4, or a Parasite Eve game.

Trying to go semi-retro for a bit, but if I find Persona 3 or 4 for the cheap, I'll certainly pick them up.

If I was rich, I'd buy them for you, lol.

Then you too can be eagerly awaiting SMTIV.

fuadihfadh. My hype seriously can't hold out for this or anything releasing towards the end of the year...

Here is me being bad at Naoto online. I might upload more later.

Lol. I go away for a weekend to a concert, watch my brother get caught up in a mosh pit, and yer still heckling me to get the game. Persistent are we?

 

[Rutger]

They are great games, it's only natural that we would want to get more people playing them. :3


MegaTen games can be hard to come by, so P3 being on PSN is really nice, might want to pick up P4 if you ever run by one, unless you plan on getting a Vita. :/

It's understandable if you don't have the extra money for it though.


But I've been seeing a lot of Nocturne at my Gamestops lately, it's strange going from never seeing it for years to there being more than one copy when I show up.

 

[Minato]

Altus did a reprint after Fes for all the Ps2 MegaTen games besides Devil Summoner.
I got the first print of Nocturne, so that came with the OST unlike the reprint.

Gamestop, he says. Up here we call them "EB Games".

 

[Lythium]

Like anyone outside of Canada would know that.

Yeah, they're not as hard to find as they used to be. At the gamestore that I work at, we had mostly new copies of all of them except the core SMT games, P2, and Devil Summoner. They sell fairly well too.

Weird, I swore you worked at a Chapters. I must be losing my mind.

 

[Raziek]

She did, change was fairly recent.

I picked up DDS 1 & 2 and Nocturne the other day during the store's 10th anniversary sale! ^^

 

[Lythium]

I work at both! :3c

Didn't you also get P3 & P4, or did I imagine that?

 

[LivewiresXe]

Oh, well uh...okay then. Lol, you guys making me think I'm losing it sometimes.

And I don't have P3 and P4 just yet. I've been looking into it/trying to find them on the cheap, etc.

 

[Lythium]

I was asking Raz, but yeah, you should get them too.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

I live in SoCal, and there was an EB Games in a mall about 30-45 mins. away from my house.

I pretty much assumed they were the same thing, lol.

 

[Lythium]

They are.

They're owned by the same company.

 

[Tricky Shadowe]

I definitely need to play with some people on Xbox Live someday soon. :D

 

[Raziek]

You tried to get me to buy them, but I already owned them.

The other purchases were:

Radiata Stories
Suidoken Tactics
Valkyrie Profile 2
Baten Kaitos: Origins

 

[LivewiresXe]

So...potentially stupid and random question that everyone but me probably knows the answer to but...

In AE2012, there's something discovered where you can "half-release" the button of the fireball you're storing and still do moves with the button at the same time (in other words, you can hold your short fireball, and still do short kicks). Is there any sort of trick like that where you can still have Yukiko's say....A or B 236 attack be able to be detonated later while still doing A and B attacks?

 

[Rutger]

I know with Labrys' sword trap you can switch buttons when you delay it.

You can't do that with Yukiko as far as I can tell.

 

[Zankoku]

Yukiko's Agi explodes immediately upon releasing A or B. Her Maragi explodes upon pressing C or D after it's traveled past a certain distance, or it will automatically trigger if it contacts with the opponent (it breaks Personas without triggering). Agidyne will continue spinning whether you hold or mash, or even release for an instant (you can auto-combo, hold A to make it continue spinning, release to explode Agi, press and hold A immediately after to keep spinning).

Oh, so you can't say, only HALF-Release A or B with Agi, and then do another half-press (keeping in mind this wouldn't be a FULL release) to say, throw a fan while still charging B Agi? I guess I can understand that, and the Juri trick was more discovered by accident than anything.

 

[Lythium]

I'm pretty sure Marvel has something similar to that with the Round Trip glitch, which allows Vergil to have unlimited use of Round Trip with button holds. By releasing and recharging Round Trip during the hitstop of a normal will throw out the sword but not release the charge.

I feel like what you're talking about is more of a glitch in Capcom games though, maybe Juri has something similar? I've never seen anything weird with button holds in other games.

 

[Zankoku]

Not that I know of, no.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Oh, alright. I wasn't really EXPECTING there to be something like that in this game, but I figured if it did exist, it would be nice to ask and that I may as well. After all, if it did, it'd be pretty useful I'd say.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Ugh. Wth. I just keep getting hit after I tech. All. The. Time. Is there something I'm missing?

 

[Lythium]

You're only invincible while you're teching, once the animation is over you have to block immediately, or you'll just get hit again.

Or netplay lag, I dunno.

 

[Crusayer]

Or air unblockables lol

 

[LivewiresXe]

Or all 3.

 

[Rutger]

Still fighting the urge to play every character, they're all so interesting.

My Akihiko is nonexistent now.


Fighting to clear my red name too, might as well mess with them all every now and then, may help me when I fight them. :/

 

[Minato]

If it's a yellow exclamation that's coming up each time you get hit, you're getting hit by an air unblockable.
To not let that happen, you're going to have to late neutral tech or something.

Left/right/up techs have very little invulnerability. I use those if the opponent isn't anywhere near me and I need to get away.

 

[Zankoku]

I've ended up playing Kanji as an alternate because several of his combos are relatively easy to mash out and even without combos being a grappler gives him 2000-3000 damage at a time. :V

 

[Lythium]

I feel like Kanji's real strength lies in his resets and oki, his damage is just a bonus.

Where wake-up options are so limited in this game, I feel like you have to guess a lot against good Kanji players. And you only have to guess wrong once or twice. :I

Urgh. That gives me flashbacks to playing my Montreal friend's Tager. What fun THAT is/was.
