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

[Lythium]

Oh, I meant to post this earlier, but I forgot. :V

I saw Stunedge doing some really cool stuff with Yukiko. I think it's an Alpha Station set, I'll try to find it. Anyway, he made her look really cool, so I'm kinda interested in her again.

edit: I think it's this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c41uan1Jkg

Also, Reria playing Labrys. :3c

The first part of that tutorial I posted a long time ago, in English.

And Teddie has a different voice actor.
Sounds weird, oh well.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Are the English VAs good?

Smooth Criminal

 

[sakuraZaKi]

We don't have much info on who the VAs are.

ATLUS is trying to get them back from the original game. Hence, Teddie.

The English VAs were quite good, imo. Teddie never stopped being an annoying c-blocker, lol.

 

[Minato]

So anyone besides me watch all of the P4A KVO matches? Tourney was pretty hype.

Disappointed that in GFs,

Spoiler

Akihiko didn't pull through at the end. Goichi was awesome as usual though.

 

[Lythium]

I watched some of it, but I haven't finished it yet because Tales. :I

I'm not gonna look at that spoiler tag, I'm not gonna do it.

 

[Rutger]

I looked at the spoiler without even thinking. :/

I've watched a little bit, here they are for anyone who wants to watch them.

Also the tier list changed a while back, 5/2, so here you go. Horizontal placement does not matter.

S Tier: Aigis, Mitsuru
A Tier: Teddie, Akihiko, Yu, Yosuke, Chie
B Tier: Shadow Labrys, Labrys, Yukiko, Kanji, Naoto, Elizabeth

 

[Minato]

Slightly off-topic but I don't care. As a Naoto fan, I had to post this.

Spin off light novel featuring a slightly older Naoto. Just wish there was a bigger image of this available.

 

[Lythium]

Ooh, looks interesting. :3

Gotta love me some Naoto.

 

[Rutger]

Older Naoto looks cool.


Anyways, English web site is up.
http://atlus.com/p4arena/

Not much to it, but it does have English names for several character's attacks, such as Kanji's instant kill is called:

The Man Series: Brofist

 

[Smooth Criminal]

...amazing.

That settles it. Kanji is going tp be first character I play. Lol

Smooth Criminal

 

[LivewiresXe]

I was totally thinking the same thing.

 

[asianaussie]

The Man Series: Brofist

words cannot describe this

mere words are useless

 

[Rutger]

Persona 4 The Golden's opening is amazing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SHRgAPqXnk

First thing I'll get whenever I get a Vita.
I like the original more, but this is just magical.


But for P4A, Zen United will be bringing it to EU.

[Lythium]

Look at Yu's sweet moves.

Swag.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Iono these guys are terrible.

I think Kanji is the best, though.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Naoto has hat tricks.

Second most swag, second only to Kanji and his manly two-step.

Smooth Criminal

 

[Sunnysunny]

Why is Yu so damn swagtastic all the time?

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

It's just his thing.

 

[asianaussie]

this opening is probably the reason i will buy a vita and play this game a 3rd time

it's so fabulous it stings

Spoiler

the corpses looked like breakdancers to me lmao

 

[LivewiresXe]

Iono these guys are terrible.

I think Kanji is the best, though.

Kanji is always going to be awesome. His chair-swinging shenanigans remind me of 2000-era WWF.

http://andriasang.com/con17s/p4_arena_date/

Japanese release date has been pushed up to July 26th.

A week early, good news for any importers out there.


And for MegaTen fans, Shin Megami Tensei IV has been announced.

http://andriasang.com/con173/megaten4_3ds/

Guess Strange Journey wasn't IV after all. :/

 

[Minato]

I wish we did get that PS3 SMT IV, but we never did.
It's about time we got another SMT though.

 

[Sunnysunny]

EEE~
So any idea when this comes out in NA? Atlus converts pretty quickly so i'm thinking a month or two tops. =w=

 

[Rutger]

http://shoryuken.com/2012/05/31/arcade-version-of-persona-4-arena-updated-to-ver-1-02/

Arcade has been updated.

Which means those videos I have are even more outdated than before, so I'm gonna go remove them.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

It's already been confirmed that the game will be out around August.

I don't think it's a tentative date.

"Oh well", if it is.

 

[Fayte Isaac]

Have they announced any Preorder bonus' for the US Version?

 

[Lythium]

Nope, just regular versions so far.

 

[LivewiresXe]

The only bonus you should need is knowing you can play as some weird egg-shaped thing and the awesomeness known as Kanji. Or well, Persona-Bang.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Kanji is just straight-up manly. He's nothing like Bang.

In speaking of Kanji...

Here's some 1.02 footage of Chie and Kanji. Yikes. Dat first round.

There are a few more matches showcased on SRK. Chie is still pretty beastly I think, but Kanji is looking snazzy.

Can't wait to see some of the other characters.

Smooth Criminal

 

[Rutger]

Akihiko has the Bang color anyways.

And Slayer.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Kanji is just straight-up manly. He's nothing like Bang.

In speaking of Kanji...

Here's some 1.02 footage of Chie and Kanji. Yikes. Dat first round.

Smooth Criminal

Holy crap. But then again, he was pretty much my guaranteed main the moment I saw the first bit of gameplay of him.

1.02 Shadow Labrys action. First skilled shadow Labrys i've seen.
This character actually looks kinda scary now.

 

[Lythium]

Shabby looking pretty cool.

Her combo potential looks like it could be a lot better than it is at the moment. Probably have to give them some more time.

 

[Lythium]

Double posting, because these Labby combos look really cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjEDXHWy_oA

She's gonna be the first character I try. :3

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esQXF9UGFw0

Got this via e-mail around midnight.

[Rutger]

Atlus doing dual language audio!?

Actually not too surprising what with netplay, but still.

I like Atlus dubs though so it wouldn't have been a big deal without it.

And a final release date, I can't wait. :3

 

[Jam Stunna]

I'm looking to try out Elizabeth, Yukiko and Aigis. Yukiko looked pretty boring at first, but it seems that some people have found some pretty neat combos for her:

[LivewiresXe]

Reminds me, isn't there something on E3 that's further looking at it today?
