[P4AU] News & Gameplay Discussion

[MegaGrandTale]

ok thanks.

[MegaGrandTale]

Also which items come out of Teddie's J.D? Or does it continue to use standing D?

[Dazardz]

I feel like this game is slowly becoming to play like Blazblue. All these characters have been nerfed so much. Kinda annoying to hear that Yu and Aigis are pretty much unaffected by the new game.

What?

[RifleAvenger]

I feel like this game is slowly becoming to play like Blazblue.

Universal nerfs and some hilariously good S-tier characters aside (and even then I thought balance was alright until Koko), Blazblue CP doesn't make me sick. Just seeing the way PU2 has "evolved" from loketest to loketest does. And this many loketests in, I can't even tell myself "it's just a loketest" anymore.

LMAO

[Dazardz]

So basically everything I said was just totally wrong and off balance? But in terms of 'balance', nobody hates Kagura and Kokonoe?

[Master Of Chaos]

Kagura's fine. Kokonoe's OP but she doesn't totally destroy the game (....I think).

Anyway, this is off topic, and has nothing to do with BB. Do we have a consensus on how Naoto is doing?

[Skye]

Can't wait for that Akihiko info to get translated!

[MegaGrandTale]

Well i got my wish. The fact that Teddie Circus wasn't able to hit Yukiko's dia was complete bs. How the developers thought getting run over by Kintoki Douji was a projectile was a stupid choice.

[Omex]

translated a buttload of stuff this morning! i don't want to spend all day translating every day like I did with the last loketests since it's going to last way longer, but happier with the amount I got in today w

sorry naoto players i got burned out right when I got to her ;;

[HoudiniJr100]

thanks Omex! I'm surprised there's nothing on what shadow yosuke is like (like his intros and stuff)...surprised how teddie's shadow self is essentially less powerful than normal teddie...then again he's a shadow...also good notes on the shadow rampage stuff!

[RurouniLoneWolf]

Yeah, spending a full week translating stuff every day would be a hassle. Take your time translating Omex. There's no big rush. Once again, it's greatly appreciated.

I'm pleased with the latest Labrys info. Also, why does the mention of a Shadow Labrys with more potential than she currently has make me want to curl up into a ball and cry in a corner? ;.;

[MikhailLuca]

Naoto Aim stance Fatal Counter state. Untech time on bullets reduced, can't combo. RIP Naoto.

Yukiko, D normals and Maragi Fatal Counter state. Can no longer low profile Mitsuru's 5A. RIP Yukiko.

Why would they do this to me? Just why?

[Luminos564]

Thanks for translating Omex ('_')7, you're a godsend.

-j.d faster

-Due to j.d range nerf, no longer works as an air to air

I'm confused, were both 5D and j.D ranges nerfed?

-SB Wail has around 1k minimum damage?

I think this might be a nerf in some way. I think the original Ghastly Wail was, IIRC, 1.2K minimum damage. Spending 75 meter for even less feels like a nerf at least. Then again, damage is reported to be lower in the game compared to P4A anyway so maybe that's not so bad.

-Can get 7.8 off of Boosted fatal 2C

As in 7.8K? That's...actually pretty damn impressive. Though wasn't 2C nerfed in some way since last loketest or could they have potentially buffed it for the 3rd one?

-Awakened SB Bufu homes in on the opponent quickly

Wait, the whole rising slash homes in? And quickly? That sounds pretty good. At least the Awakened moves aren't trash like in the last loketest.

Come on ASW, don't let me down. I need to see Lizzie rise to the top be a viable character for once. Fix Kanji while you are at it too. Poor guy can't catch a break from you. You can make Teddie be the fish at the bottom of the barrel here. I won't mind *hint hint nudge nudge*.

So, can anyone explain why Akihiko got absolutely wrecked when he wasn't that good to begin with? Anyone? Does ASW just hate characters that punch?

[Diveman]

yes indeed.

Well, I guess we'll all be playing Shadow Labrys, RIP every other char, and RIP even harder Junpei and Yukari which none has posted anything of lol

Akihiko is actually really good, people just don't know it. He sat in the same tier as Yosuke / S Lab for the longest time.

[RurouniLoneWolf]

Naoto Aim stance Fatal Counter state. Untech time on bullets reduced, can't combo. RIP Naoto.

The change to the untech time on the 6D bullet is a bit strange. Can't see it staying this way unless its shooting pattern is really good in neutral.

I think this might be a nerf in some way. I think the original Ghastly Wail was, IIRC, 1.2K minimum damage. Spending 75 meter for even less feels like a nerf at least. Then again, damage is reported to be lower in the game compared to P4A anyway so maybe that's not so bad.

Not enough data to say it's a nerf. SB Wails could be good in other ways. Also, in the notes for the last loketest, it was mentioned that it might be possible to boost the damage of SB Wails by doing stuff with the stick. So with the info we have now, it's hard to say if this is the real minimum damage.

Akihiko got absolutely wrecked? From what I can see of the loketest notes for the last loketest and this one, his buffs and nerfs more or less seem even. It also feels like there's a lot of untapped/undiscovered potential with the new 5 level cyclone system and all the new properties it's bringing to each of his moves at different levels.

[FluxWaveZ]

Not much in terms of media yet, it seems. All I've seen of substance are these two pics (one and two) of Yosuke doing something.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh9CguK4Uhg&feature=youtu.be hi guys my name is yukari and im in a video. don't spread this too publically.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi0y0CJ2mL8&feature=youtu.be hi guys i'm yosuke's new super. dont' spread this too publically.

on that note, DO NOT POST JAPANESE LOKETEST VIDEOS. Either link them to me in a dustloop pm/twitter DM so i can reupload them, or reupload them yourself. Do not spread any links of japanese loketest videos, be polite and reupload them so they don't have to potentially suffer a copyright strike and have it taken down.

Yukari's auto-combo causes Confusion stats

Now we're going somewhere

EDIT: wait now it causes Charm? is it random or it has a set rule like Liz' r-action?

Edited November 17, 2013 by Diveman

[FluxWaveZ]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. In that video, we see her either inflict Charm or Confusion so it made me think of Liz's DP.
