/Characters\ ​

​ Two months after the ending of “Persona 4”...The protagonist and his friends encounter a new case! The “bizarre, serial murder case” that caused quite a disturbance was solved and peace returned to Inaba. But that only lasted for so long. During the Golden Week after the Protagonist and the others entered their third year of high school, a new rumor begins spreading in town.The rumor speaks of a mysterious program that comes on if you look into a turned off TV on a rainy night. The name of that program is the “P-1 Grand Prix”. It’s a fighting program where high school friends fight against each other to the bitter end. When the protagonist and the others watch this program, they see Teddie on screen declaring the beginning of the show. “May the manliest of all men come on down!”And with that, the participating challengers are introduced. But what appeared were their selves with botched up catch phrases. Could this program be a mischievous prank by Teddie!? Around when the program began though, the protagonist’s friends go missing one after another. On top of that, they cannot get in contact with Teddie who was on TV. The members of the “Investigation Team” realize this is anabnormal situation and they dive into the TV once again to solve the case.What could this mysterious program be...? ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Ach, why the hell not. Toch maar een topic. Zal nooit voorbij de eerste pagin akomen, maar hey. Misschien ziet iemand anders alsnog de glorie van deze game/serie! Ikzelf heb 3 linkerhanden met fighting games. Ja, ik ben NOG slechter in dit soort games dan in andere. Maar dat weerhoudt me er niet van om het te proberen en plezier te hebben. Dit is het soort game waar je plezier van kan hebben als je Persona fan bent, of als je gewoon op zoek bent naar een lekkere fighter. Of beide. Hoe graag ik de game ook de schuld zou willen geven van mijn tekortkomingen, lijkt online perfect te werken. Nee, ik weet ook niet waarom ik uberhaupt online ben gegaan. Misschien is dat de beste manier om ooit beter te worden. CPU zet je op een lager niveau, menselijke tegenstanders niet. Al denk ik dat ik een hopeloos geval ben. Ik heb het gewoon niet in me. Tot nu toe vind ik Teddie, Elizabeth en Yukiko/Aegis het lekkerste spelen. 4 characters is nog een beetje ruim, maar ach. Wie wilt lachen? Gisteren 3 matches opgeslagen. De eerste was mijn eerste match ooit, de 2e de eerste waar ik niet volledig afging, en de 3e won ik zowaar. lol Ik was zo trots na het winnen, maar als je het zo terugkijkt lijkt het nog alsof een gehandicapt paard heeft zitten spelen. ​ ​

NAME: Aigis PERSONA: Athena MAIN WEAPON: Heavy Firearms A humanoid weapon with a heart, and a returning cast member from Persona 3. It’s unknown how she becomes involved with this game’s case and the Persona 4 characters. Where are the other members of S.E.E.S.? PLAYER GUIDE Aigis' optimal strategy is to fight in close range while in Orgia Mode. Orgia Mode provides Aigis with several new moves, including “Hover Boost,” which allows her to stop in midair. She also gains skills that are effective in aerial battles, so activate them with an air dash to get in close. Once Orgia Mode wears off, though, you should put some distance between yourself and the enemy. When not in Orgia Mode, you'll want to attack with Aigis' heavy firearms. Switch between the “7th Gen Gatling Blast” and “7th Gen Radical Cannon,” which can be used as an anti-air, to buy time. Once the Orgia Mode gauge fills, rush back in for more close combat. One of Aigis’ Persona attacks is a special move that brings up a shield to protect against enemy attacks. If an enemy attack hits while guarding, Athena will counterattack with a rush. For Aigis, it's recommended to rely frequently on this Persona attack as a means of blocking. This is especially useful when buying time to regain Orgia Mode, or to ward off a fierce enemy assault until you have a chance to counterattack. ​ NAME: Akihiko Sanada PERSONA: Caesar MAIN WEAPON: Fists He was a member of S.E.E.S. with Mitsuru during the case three years ago, chronicled in Persona 3. He went on to college after graduating high school, his endless craving for strength sent him on a training journey around the world. He returned to Japan for now at Mitsuru's request. His appearance has greatly changed since P3 and he joins the fight with a savage look. PLAYER GUIDE He is fast and strong, but his reach is short, so your approach to your opponent is important. Akihiko’s Persona can draw in the opponent, so use it to get in range of his close-combat attacks. His Auto Combo has a quick start, so it’s harder for the opponent to block. Start off by using that as the basis for your attacks. When the SP Skill “Thunder Fists” is activated, Akihiko’s attacks will have an added Shock effect. Shocked opponents cannot move around, giving you a chance to deal lots of damage with Auto Combos or the Awakened SP Skill, “Maziodyne.” Its one weakness is that if Akihiko is damaged at all, the Shock effect will be cancelled, so watch out for the enemy's projectiles and Furious Actions. Finally, you can chain "Kill Rush" into various specials. One easy combo for big damage is to follow up Kill Rush with "Boomerang Hook," and end with a "Corkscrew." Experiment for yourself to see which follow-ups you like best! ​ NAME: Mitsuru Kirijo PERSONA: Artemisia MAIN WEAPON: Rapier She is one of the members of S.E.E.S., a Shadow-hunting organization active in Persona 3, three years before P4 Arena. She is also the daughter of the founding family of the Kirijo Group, a powerful multinational corporation. Now twenty years old, she is a college student on the surface, but she also leads a certain special organization in secret. She has come to Inaba on a mission to retrieve something. PLAYER GUIDE Mitsuru is unique in that she relies on charge command skills. They can be performed while crouching, so it’s best to hold diagonally back while crouching. Depending on the opponent’s situation, press the button while pushing up or forward for one of two types of attacks. Using "Bufula" brings out a wall of ice that slowly moves forward. This wall cannot be destroyed with Persona attacks, so not only is it a useful keepaway device, it can help you achieve a Persona Break. If it hits the opponent, they'll be Frozen, preventing them from moving. The Furious Action “Getsu-ei” is a highly effective anti-air attack that slashes in a circular motion. Lure the opponent to jump in with Bufula and then punish them with Getsu-ei. The skill can be activated in midair, making it useful not only for counterattacking, but for launching your own offensive. ​ NAME:Labrys PERSONA: Ariadne MAIN WEAPON: Axe A mysterious girl that the Investigation Team meets while delving into the TV. She wears a Yasogami High uniform and calls herself the Yasogami High student council president, while in a TV world that looks very much like Yasogami High. What's her role in all this...? ​ NAME: Shadow Labrys PERSONA: Asterius MAIN WEAPON: Axe The subconsciously repressed part of Labrys that has separated from her and gone berserk. Asterius, a monster of Greek myth, is the power she gained from the original Labrys denying her. It’s a part of Shadow Labrys that is always at her side. ​ NAME:Elizabeth PERSONA: Thanatos MAIN WEAPON: Book A resident of the Velvet Room that exists between consciousness and unconsciousness. She played a major role in Persona 3, but now she has vacated the Velvet Room for her own purpose and enters the TV world on a personal quest. ​ NAME: Protagonist (Yu Narukami) PERSONA: Izanagi MAIN WEAPON: Katana A young man who came to Inaba to live at his uncle's house while his parents were away. He is the protagonist of Persona 4 who solved the bizarre serial murder case together with his friends. PLAYER GUIDE The "Zio" skill sends out a burst of lightning, which can either travel across the screen or stay in front of you depending on which button you use. Try switching up your method of casting it depending on how far away your opponent is and use it as a feint to throw the opponent off guard. You can also Skill Boost Zio to give it a Shock effect. Not only are the protagonist’s Persona attacks strong, they have a long reach. Try using Zio to keep your opponent in check and then follow up with Persona attacks. Finally, the protagonist's Furious Action, “Big Gamble,” is an anti-air attack where he jumps into the air while attacking with his sword. It costs some stamina, but it's a useful counterattack. Clever use of Zio can force your enemy to jump in, giving you a perfect opportunity to counter with Big Gamble! ​ NAME: Yosuke Hanamura PERSONA: Jiraiya MAIN WEAPON: Kunai He is a classmate of the protagonist's at Yasogami High and is the son of the owner of Junes, a supermarket in Inaba. PLAYER GUIDE Yosuke can jump higher than other characters, so attacking from midair will be your basic strategy. Of his attacks, “Mirage Slash” teleports to the ground for a low-aimed hit, making it tough to guard against. Beginners should make frequent use of this skill. “Tentarafoo” is a special unblockable technique. When it’s used, Jiraiya will grab the opponent and make them Panic. When the opponent has the Panic ailment, their left and right controls will be reversed. This can be especially effective if you take advantage of its unblockable nature and use it while the opponent is blocking. The Awakened SP Skill “Sukukaja” causes Yosuke’s movement speed to increase for a while. Once it’s activated, you can move around with such speed that you will seem to disappear for a moment. While Sukukaja is in effect, Yosuke's Auto Combo changes to a special version that can even connect to an aerial attack. It's a good idea to cast Sukukaja immediately once your SP gauge fills. ​ NAME: Chie Satonaka PERSONA: Tomoe MAIN WEAPON: Kicks She’s the protagonist’s cheerful and athletic classmate. She loves kung fu movies and has taught herself many kicking techniques. PLAYER GUIDE When Skull Cracker hits during Chie’s Auto Combo, the first hit will get past a crouching guard and the second hit gets past a standing guard. It's tough for even veteran opponents to block every hit of the combo, so novices can use her Auto Combo to good effect. Once you get used to the controls, try linking Rampage to Skull Cracker on your own. Chie's reach is short, so use her Evasive Action to dodge the opponent's attacks while moving forward to compensate. You can also use a Evasive Action at close range to get behind the enemy, giving you a chance to go for an Auto Combo. Using the SP Skill "Power Charge" will temporarily increase the power of your skills. This can be stacked up to three times, and the more you use it, the more effective it gets! SP Skills have effects as well, if you use a Power Charged Auto Combo all the way to "God's Hand," you can shave a lot of HP off the opponent's life bar. ​ NAME: Yukiko Amagi PERSONA: Konohana Sakuya MAIN WEAPON: Fan She’s the protagonist’s classmate and Chie’s best friend. She has helped out with the family business, the renowned Amagi Inn, ever since she was young. Since she is trained in good etiquette and manners, the boys at school admire her, but she can be somewhat strange at times. PLAYER GUIDE Yukiko is best from a distance with her normal fan attack and her "Agi" and "Maragi" skills. Since close combat isn't her forte, you'll want to stay away from your opponent and send a barrage of projectiles at them. Yukiko relies heavily on her Persona attacks to be effective, so make sure your Persona doesn't get broken. If you suffer a Persona Break, block until it recovers. The "Fire Boost" skill causes your fire attacks to become stronger. It can be stacked up to LV8. This level doesn't decrease when you use skills, so toss a Fire Boost in whenever you get the chance! When your HP is low, you might want to use the Furious Action "Dia." It will slowly recover HP after you activate it. Not only does activating it knock back the opponent, their projectile attacks won't work while it's in effect, so it's useful as a counter and means of guarding. There is a limit to how much HP you can recover, so be careful not to use it too much. ​ NAME: Teddie PERSONA: Kintoki-Douji MAIN WEAPON: Claws A mysterious bear mascot that came from the world inside the TV. He used to be empty inside, but now...? He can't resist making bear jokes. PLAYER GUIDE One of Teddie's normal attacks is to throw one of 13 items. The items appear in order from the top of the list below. Once everything has been thrown, it goes back up to the top of the list to the MF-06S Brahman. Each item has different effects; the Oil Drum and Amagi Inn Bucket are hard to dodge, so they’re easy to use. Once an item's effect causes the opponent to show an opening, get in a quick Auto Combo. Item MF-06S Brahman - After landing, performs a rush attack while rising into the air Dr. Salt NEO - Pick up to gain SP and recover from ailments Dry Ice - Freezes on hit, remains for a while after landing Smart Bomb - Explodes in midair, impossible to air block Oil Drum - Hits on multiple levels, rolls on the ground after landing Vanish Ball - Creates a smokescreen Firecracker - Flies up and down around the screen Ball Lightning - Lightning strikes after landing, Shocks target on hit Muscle Drink - Pick up to gain HP and suffer Rage ailment Pinwheel - Hits on multiple levels and draws the target in Heavy-Armor Agni - On landing, does a quick 2-hit rush attack while rising into the air Mystery Food X - Pick up to gain SP and suffer Poison ailment 1Amagiya Bucket - Tons of buckets come crashing down; causes Panic on hit ​ NAME: Kanji Tatsumi PERSONA: Take-Mikazuchi MAIN WEAPON: Folding Chair He’s a year younger than the protagonist. People fear him as a notorious delinquent, but he has an honest and pure heart. Despite his tough looks, he’s good with his hands and a skilled knitter. PLAYER GUIDE Though his attacks are strong, Kanji is the slowest-moving character. To land attacks, you'll want to use Kanji's lightning skills and Furious Action. His lightning attack strikes different areas depending on whether you're standing, crouching, or jumping, so tailor your attack to the opponent's position on screen. Kanji's speed means it's better to wait for your opponent to approach, rather than jumping or dashing in yourself. Guard with a crouching block, and when the opponent comes jumping in, attack with "Gotcha!" If the enemy launches a projectile, counter it with "This'll Hurt!" Once you get used to the controls, try tacking on an "Added Cruel Attack." After you’ve warded off the opponent’s move, it’s your chance for a counterattack! Start an Auto Combo and connect it to the SP Skill “Ass Whoopin', Tatsumi-Style” or enter the command for “This’ll Hurt!” and connect it to “Added Cruel Attack.” Once you’re Awakened, you can always go for severe damage with the Awakened SP Skill “Burn To A Crisp!!” ​ NAME: Naoto Shirogane PERSONA: Sukuna-Hikona MAIN WEAPON: Pistol The 5th generation of the Shirogane Family, a famous clan of detectives. She is a second-year high school student known as the “Detective Prince.” She met the protagonist when she came to Inaba to investigate the serial murders a year ago. Now, she finds herself unexpectedly dragged back into the TV world. PLAYER GUIDE Naoto's basic strategy is to lay “Hair-Trigger Megido” traps on the ground and in the air. This powerful skill is not triggered until the opponent approaches it, and can be placed multiple times. The traps won't disappear until they're triggered or attacked, so keep throwing them out! Once you enter the “Aim” stance, Naoto will aim her gun. The most effective strategy is to set traps to control the enemy's movement, get some distance, and then take aim. Depending on which button you press, you can shoot in three directions, but you cannot move while aiming your gun. If the opponent starts closing the distance, immediately cancel your aim. The last important part of Naoto's strategy is the Fate Counter, the number next to the skull below your opponent's life bar. You can decrease the Fate Counter with Hair-Trigger Megido and gunshots. When the counter reaches 0, you can instantly defeat them with “Hamaon” or “Mudoon”. It’s easiest to make Mudoon hit from a throw, whereas Hamaon is easier to hit with from a combo. ​ ​

Wat een startpost gelukkig hebben we de end knop.

Ik vermaak me prima met deze game, al moet valt de story mode ietwat tegen. Je zit gewoon 30 min plaatjes te bekijken om dan nog eens te vechten. Tsja, zo gaat dat ook wel in de Persona games, maar het voelt niet helemaal lekker aan. Ik had liever gezien dat er ietsje meer liefde in de cutscene's zou zitten.

 

De End knop? Nou zeg, ik weet wel dat iedereen alles zal skippen maar om het zo direct te zeggen doet me pijn. Zo een startpost zet je niet in 5 minuten in elkaar!

Ik denk dat dat is wat er gebeurd als je de IP aan een dev geeft wat niet bepaald bekend staat om zijn goede verhalen. Ik heb zelf de story mode nog niet gedaan, maar als ik de screens zo bekijk lijkt het inderdaad niet erg diepgaand te zijn en is het, zoals ik al dacht, gewoon een excuus geweest om alle characters bij elkaar te brengen om een potje te knokken.
En het feit dat die characters bij elkaar zijn om een potje te knokken vind ik gelukkig al voldoende.

 

Net als BlazBlue ziet dit spel er prachtig uit, maar ik heb werkelijk niets met 2D fighters. Ook eigenlijk niet met 3D fighters, op Dead or Alive na. En dat je online kansloos bent is niet zo gek als je bedenkt dat het spel in Amerika en Japan al in 2012 is uitgekomen.

 

Ik denk niet dat een eerdere release voor mij veel zou hebben uitgemaakt.

 

Mooie OP weer Dulle!

Ik lees echter niets, teveel spoilers voor P4G!

 

Maar, is er verder iemand die wel nog de game gaat/wilt halen? Al is het alleen maar zodat we samen kunnen zeuren in dit topic over hoe slecht we wel niet zijn.

En Nightbringer, is bij jou ook het beeld niet beeldvullend? Het is geen groot drama, maar best wel irritant.

 

Ben wel van plan de game te halen (P4G rules gewoon dus ik wil meer!!) maar wil toch wel eerst P4G uitspelen....

 

Ik laat gewoon de story mode nog even opzij liggen en doe wat random arcade en versus matches.
Misschien nog een keer online om anderen even te laten winnen.

Maar dus eerst verder met P4G inderdaad.

 

Als het goed is krijg ik vandaag loon en zal ik 'm vandaag eens even kopen. Waar heb jij 'm op Dulle? X360 of PS3?

 

Hoeveel posts voordat we eigenlijk op de volgende pagina zitten?

No offence Dulle, je OPs zijn maar laden duurt een beetje lang.

 

PS3. Ik werd gedwongen door jullie!

lol, tsja, dat hoort er de eerste pagina nou eenmaal bij. Ik kan ze korter maken, info weghalen, maar dan ga je voorbij aan het doel van een fatsoenlijke op.

14 posts per pagina. Dus bij post #16 zijn we op pagina 2. (volgens mij wordt de startpost apart meegeteld)

 

WAT EEN START POST Ik wilde even de reactie van Dulle lezen, maar owwhh dit nooit verwacht -_-

 

Nee joh, nooit doen! Dat soort info is zeer handig voor als je een game later 'ontdekt'.

mooi, zijn we er bijna.

 

Ok, dan even een nuttig feitje om nog een post te vullen; die banners voor de characters zijn onderdeel van de LE. Ja, avatars EN banners in de LE! Kosten noch moeite zijn gespaard bij de release van deze game.

 

Nog antwoord gehad btw over je LE klacht?
Of nog niets mee gedaan?

EDIT: yes!! page two!

 

oh ja, dat zou ik nog doen. Helemaal vergeten. Ik heb me er bij voorbaat al bij neergelegd dat het toch een verloren zaak is, maar goed.
Ik ga het wel proberen natuurlijk! Vandaag nog. Als ik het niet weer vergeet.

 

Cool, ik ga 'm ook halen voor de PS3. Dus ik verwacht een battle op z'n minst.

 

Dat zeg je ook alleen maar omdat je het filmpje in de startpost hebt gezien en dus weet dat je met 2 vingers in je neus van mij kunt winnen.

 

Ik heb geen filmpje gezien hoor En ik ben niet echt goed in fighters.
