[P4AU] News & Gameplay Discussion

[Syklone]

S. Chie was pretty dumb with that ToD and all. I told you guys they were going to take it out lol

[SoWL]

Yeah, but the whole point of Shadow characters is being dumb. Why would you do Shadow Frenzy if you can't deal more damage than the regular characters do for 100 SP?

[heavymetalmixer]

All these Yosuke changes remembers me that with a FC j.2C starter he can do 4.5K without SP at maximum, but in 2.0 that could be shortened to 3K or even less.

[A.X.I.S.]

Yeah... thinking it over, i'm starting to hate these changes

 

They made Yosuke into something that is worse than a overpowered or underpowered character

 

they made him boring

I assure you a boring character is not worse than an underpowered character.

Have you ever played a truly underpowered character?

Playing a boring character is actually more fun ironically.

[Luminos564]

I'm gonna make a gif of Golden-palette Junpei pulling an AoA on Yosuke and during the animation put #NerfBat at the bottom. or #FuckYosuke, whichever sounds more natural.

 

My vote goes to #NerfBat. It's funny, appropriate and ultimately deserving considering the previous tier pyramid standing spots these two occupied XD.

+1,000   .

 

I can stand by this. I heard so many tell me that Minazuki is boring to play because of how simple yet effective his moves are. I assure you I have NEVER had more fun with a character until I picked up the Twin-Katana Scarred Messiah.

Totally agree with you.

 

I have a lot of fun with Minazuki because I like characters with options wherever they are. His fullscreen neutral with his other mid to upclose tools and great damage are reasons why he's my perfect fit.

I can see why people would say he's boring, but I still have a lot of fun with him.

So what are the chances of new character in this update I mean arcsys always included new characters in updates atleast I think...

The chances for this game to get a new character are lower than in GG or BB, because ASW is already limited because of ATLUS. Let's just wait.

I know

 

I am fully aware of how much it sucks to main a low tier character, and i'm glad they didn't completely cripple Yosuke (i'm sure he's still "good")

 

I just wanted to sound quirky

[Kikirin]

Hmmm, some interesting news on Shadow characters.

 

• Meter doesn't carry over between rounds,
• Can go into Frenzy with 0 meter
• if you have less than 50 meter, Shadow Frenzy uses half the burst
• More than 50 meter, all of it. 

 

Source 1 - Source 2

 

Oh, and Chie's power charge is now the number of moves it'll buff instead of a bar. - Source

 

Also, just letting everyone know that the P4U2 sticks are now available for preorder on the Madcatz site

 

Saw a correction on the Shadow Frenzy mechanics (source):

• Raw activation takes half the burst gauge.
• Activating as a cancel mid-combo takes the whole burst gauge.
• SP meter has no relation to how much burst it takes.

If they really do go like CP 2.0 they'll add

 

General Teddie - Celica equivalent

Shadow Marie - Lambda equivalent. 

 

But in all seriousness, there's not really anyone to add. In every update, characters they add were either from story or a character previously playable. I don't think they pull in an entirely new character. inb4 Kurosawa and Kikuno get added

[Red]

If anything we might actually get to see that Shadow Cover, which makes me think that they have enough to add maybe another story-mode DLC?

 

I dunno, this update seems fairly "big" to not come with something added to it.

Balance is not that big

[RWA Announcer]

Assuming we even get new characters, which I'm not expecting at all, wouldn't the obvious additions be Theodore, who got a fair amount of development for an NPC, and Fuuka, since they're involved in the Story Mode, just like Marie and Margaret? And on that note, do we know how the arcade's handling Random Select now that Adachi's taking up the slot and the machines only have four buttons IIRC?

Well for Fuuka to become playable, she needs to find the resolve in her heart to fight. Because that's all it takes I guess. I completely agree with you on Theodore though.

 

What I would like to see is more characters that don't use personas, so I would want Kikuno to be a new playable character even though I know that won't happen. I still want Takaya dammit.

 

Oh and did anyone find all of Sho's changes yet?

[Zombiepatrol7]

The only characters with a Persona not from 1/2(which don't exist because Atlus forgot about them) and not confirmed dead are Takaya from Strega in P3 and Theodore. So slim to none.

 

Atlus: Everything has to be canon in this fighter, no playable Dojima for you.

Chidori was never confirmed to be dead. Takaya is spoilery (lol) and tbh I dunno why Margaret's here when Theo had it so easy to be playable. Maybe fan-based decision?

[Syklone]

I saw no Aigis loketest info.....w-why

[Red]

I saw no Aigis loketest info.....w-why

 

I actually went and replicated the hashtag. Here's your Aigis info:

 

#P4U2アイギスロケテ情報 (or https://twitter.com/search?q=%23P4U2%E3%82%A2%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AE%E3%82%B9%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B1%E3%83%86%E6%83%85%E5%A0%B1&src=typd)

 

Made from scratch and it actually worked lol. You got quite a bit of info on her. Have fun.

 

If anyone else wants info on their char just hit me up and I might get it.

 

SOME AIGIS STUFF

Tweet #1 JBJA> 5AAAAJ2B> 5B2C change Megiddo leads (I have no idea what this means lol, but you guys seem to be able to 5AAAA>J2B, I dunno if you can ATM)

 

Tweet #2 I have reduced damage of radical. 1000 bad (?)

 

Tweet #3 Foot JB2AJC2 Hobart JC2> D Megiddo 2BJAJBJ2B in about 3200 (Foot may refer to sweep or throw, I'm guessing sweep)

 

 

EDIT 2: Woah I didn't know Akihiko's forums were THAT dead. Anyway his changes should be here:

 

https://twitter.com/search?q=%23P4U2%E7%9C%9F%E7%94%B0%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B1%E3%83%86%E6%83%85%E5%A0%B1&src=typd or use #P4U2真田ロケテ情報 on twitter.

 

I'll have a look around. I've not been able to find Minazuki's nor Sho's out of the few I've tried so far.

 

EDIT 3: Got Kanji's. Use #P4U2完二ロケテ情報

EDIT 4: Naoto's = #P4U2直斗ロケテ情報

[Balguna]

Theo will likely be unplayable due to VA work; since Ultimax was the last game where he's voiced by Willingham, bringing him into the game as playable would either require them getting him to come back to record a whole bunch of lines, or getting his new VA Bryce Pappenbrook to do it,  who sounds decidedly different.

I just wanna say, the reason 1/2 characters aren't back is due to the fact they switched writers and the current one is not touching them out of respect and doesn't want to write a character they didn't create thinking they might not be portrayed correctly. Plus since some of their voice actors retired, it would get people upset considering in Japan, the voice actors are the character (and the Persona 1/2 fanbase is really small too in Japan). If you want a canon reason, they're really old, have no business in Inaba, and most likely no longer have the persona power.

 

Anyways, I'm personally not expecting anyone new, but Theodore would be nice and Kikuno could be cool now that swordsman mentioned her. General Teddie or human Teddie would be funny but I'm sure most people would go nuts if either got confirmed.  

[Red]

You guys have a track of characters that don't have their changes listed? I know Teddie, Junpei (to a point) Labrys, S.Labrys, Ken, Liz, Yukiko, Yosuke, Narukami (a bit I believe) and Adachi have them already, counting mine I don't know if Yukari/Marie/Mitsuru/Margaret players have theirs.

 

Can't find the Sho's.

[Fortune]

Do mean translated or just on Twitter in general because ho-chan made this collection for tweets to merge.

Uh, do ENG VA's effect Japan? 

[mixedmethods]

The only solid info we have, other than what ASW gave out, is "damage reduced." There are mentions of 2C, gauge consumption, Orion, and Megido in Tweets, but it's gibberish to me... we just have to wait.
