Just for the record: - Amane has a unique gauge - Bullet doesn't have any - Azrael has a yellow gauge and (sometimes) a red gauge

Kinda weird to have a wishlist thread when we're going to have the loketest as soon as tomorrow. Anyways, I hope that the new move will be useful in combos. I expect it to be similar to Platinum's Falling Melody for some reason.

But of course. Maining Platinum kinda does that to you.

A closer comparison would be P4U, I guess. I have a weird feeling that the burst could be spent on different supers: notice how some of them have the usual blue background, while the others (Haku's Yukikaze, Bang's new nail move) have the red one. And those supers are the ones that have the "burst" icon open. EDIT: Amane's distortion at the end of the trailer seems to have red background, too, but the icon is gray, not open.

Kokonoe? Jubei? Too bad, here, have three characters no one has the slightest idea about! Out of the three, I probably like Amane the most: he seems to be similar to Faust's zoning style, outside of the items. And damn, Akira Ishida is love. And I gotta second the notion that he is Tenjo's son. Azrael and Bullet seem pretty generic right now, which makes me wonder about their playstyle even more. There's not that many ways of doing close-quarter fighters, and we already have Makoto for the primary boxing character. Speaking of which, Bullet's design seems even more fetish-packed than Makoto's. The new HUD looks amazing, as well as the stages. And the new music, and the announcer, and the character artworks. Man, and to think that we're going to have a glance at all this goodness as soon as tomorrow!

A gift box certainly isn't something that I expected, but it seems like yet another oki tool, interesting anti-air and may be yet another way to combo the enemy to the corner, 2C loop-style. Plat is in a very good state in CSEX, so I don't know what else could be changed about her.

The European release of P4U has been delayed for a week: the new release date is now September, 7th: http://www.hitcombo.net/games/rumour-persona-4-arena-eu-release-pushed-back-to-7th-september/

No, that's not the only issue.

What does choosing between two meaningless words have to do with English? Still no solid info on Seth on the wiki, that makes me sad. Does anyone know any other sources of loketest stuff?

Still not enough stuff from the 90s, though sir Dan is certainly a step int the right direction.

That's the beginning of Arcade mode, I suppose. Seems like the wiki I was translating from already has some info on Seth and Yuzuriha. I'll get to it tomorrow; maybe there will be more by then. Gotta love how Yuzu makes notes appear when she walks. She does seem as fun as I expected, which makes my choice of characters even harder.

Delayed homing paralyzing projectiles? Yeah, that's certainly not something that the Shiki players were expecting. But I do like the idea behind it. Yuzuriha seems to have some kind of stock system. Each special gives a different stock, and having three particular (different/same?) stocks makes her perform an additional attack. It's hard to figure things out, though, I may be completely wrong.

All these edits remind me of the character portrait edits from P3 and P4, like Chie with Akihiko's face. Except that these ones don't creep the hell out of me.

I'm not sure that it should be mentioned, but there is a quiz that lets you win some goodies if you guess the VAs right. But it seems like people don't need any reward for speculation. They all sound very familiar, but my power level is lower than I expected: I can barely recognize Hitomi Nabatame as Hilda, and that's all. Carmine, Waldstein and Vatista are on the tip of my tongue, but that's it. There's also an expanded command list for all characters (except for Hilda, of course): http://inbirth.info/img/topics/command_list.jpg

Kanji is Baofu (with Odysseus as Persona) and Yosuke is Eikichi (with Hades as Persona) from Persona 2.

Wasn't playing at the time, sorry. Though CT was full of bad Tager match-ups, so both Carl and Nu were separate aspects of a single problem.

I wouldn't compare it to BBCT. Nothing can be as bad as Tager vs Nu.

I don't know what I approve more, the artwork or the loketest news. Probably the latter, since it will finally have playable Yuzuriha. Speaking of which, it will be very unnatural to hear her speaking with a voice other than Aoko's.

But how would that work when you don't even play the game on your own console on most events? How is the game supposed to remember every single combination that's been used on it? Though if you're speaking about online, that is already partially implemented in BB, so I can see them going the distance with pre-selecting the colors, too.

Why must you do this right when I edit my post with this? Anyways, see my last post for my opinion on the issue.

An obligatory source request is in order. EDIT: Okay, here it is: http://andriasang.com/con1yr/jojo_interview/ Nothing in this interview outright says that we won't be getting a VS mode, just that they'd rather have the game be a better JoJo game than being a good fighting game, which includes the framerate. And I'm still perfectly fine with that.

Oh goddayumn. Well, at least I got the copy of my Kanji infodump on Mayonnaise Midnight.

I remember some interview mentioning that they are aware of people who may not like stage hazards, so there will be some stages without any. I don't have an actual link, though, so don't quote me on that.

Well, uhh, sorry for not going on a rampage about a minor issue that is easily circumvented, I guess?
