Are we even sure that she has Diarahan? We know that she has a move that switches her SP and HP, and with her having 150% SP almost always as a boss, it can certainly turn out to be Diarahan-like.

It begins.

Yeah, no surprise here. Still, those scans would be nice to have.

Surely they can at least make those palettes real? Because Wild Tiger-colored Merkava works surprisingly well.

Aaand my PS3 just got itself a new wallpaper. Waiting for those magazine leaks, they should've been out yesterday.

Oh, someone did upload it to Youtube, cool. That Akihiko has the right idea on how to beat her: she doesn't seem to have too many ways of escaping pressure, her bursts are predictable, and you can kill her before she gets enough time to cast Mediarahan. But it seems that it's gonna be a very tough fight for the zoner characters, who can get pulled towards Liz with her Maragidyne-like move. Does anyone know if Kanji can abuse the AI like Tager could in CS? It was a walk in the park when tried him for the first time, since the AI didn't break any throws after Gadget Finger. I like how the pages turn in her book, and she actually uses Tarot cards, too!

That Akihiko vs Elisabeth match just won't load for me, are you guys sure there are no other mirrors of it? Maybe someone can upload it to Mediafire or something?

You might want to check out the forum before asking questions. None of the super in the game have that, it's reserved for entering the Awakening mode.

July seems even more busy now. Still don't know whether I should buy this or not.

I sure like how Elisabeth is listed as a "Boss-type character". As of her SP UP status, I'm going to bet that her SP-less options will be much weaker than of the other characters, so having more SP puts her on par with them. Damn, Shadow Labrys looks much more badass than the vids with her have shown so far. Reminds me of Eddie with Potemkin for a shadow, or something like that. Also, it just hit me that Labrys's name sounds like "Labyrinth", especially in Japanese. Mind = blown.

I've been playing against my friend's Ragna a lot since I bought the game, and that list is just what I needed. Thanks, Uri. Speaking of which, what are Plat's safest options after getting knocked down? Simply block?

Well that's cool. And kinda explains the poor streaming quality, since he's not supposed to know such things well.

That's exactly what I meant by "this state". Though I think that the OP just added another zero to all that damage for some reason. I mean, why would you need to deal 46k damage when most characters have around 10?

Elisabeth is the 13th opponent in the Score Attack mode. She wields a book, has Thanatos as her Persona, and always has the SP UP mark over her SP gauge. She has a Guard Cancel-like move when she locks you up in her book and applies fear and "Meromero" (charm, I guess?). This is probably her R-Action. She also has a super-move that is similar to Naoto's Hamaon and deals over 46000 damage (huh?). Another super-move has Thanatos confine you in one of his coffins and cut you up for two hits and 10000 damage (huh??). Its range is short, but is easy to use with Thanatos. Her SP UP status obviously recovers her SP at extreme pace, so she spams her super-moves often. Her last super-move, which is probably her Awakening, has her suck you into a coffin and hits you for 7500 damage over 3 hits. Though the conditions are uncertain, she may avoid dying completely and get a voice change. Lastly, her BGM is Unavoidable Battle, though it would be cool to have a remix of Battle for Everyone's Souls as her playable track. ...Yyeeeah, I don't think that she's going to be playable in this state.

It also looks like they're going to show the last character/boss there. EDIT: The stream is up, they have all the characters announced so far. Sure hope someone's archiving this. And why would they have the stream of the camera that records some random guy I don't care about the same size as the damn game?

Well, my brother likes .hack// more than me, but I was always impressed with its character designs and thought that having a fighting game would be perfect. So yeah, I'm probably buying this. I just hope that it will be sold separately from that huge pack of goods. And why the hell does every game I want this year come out in Summer? Guess I should actually take that part-time job that has been offered to me.

Hey, even though we may not get Minato, there is still Hamuko! Though to tell the truth, I haven't finished P3P, so I'm not sure. Speaking of P3, can SEES meet their Shadows on the Midnight Channel after they already have their Personas? How do the P3 and P4 Personas interact with each other, anyways? Also, I've just learned that Mass Destruction plays during mirror matches of P3 characters. Gotta go slow.

I swear, if the don't make Elizabeth's theme a long-waited BABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABY remix, or at least Battle for Everyone's Souls, heads will roll. Also, the whole double playable Labrys deal reminds me of Ky and Robo-Ky. Except that both of them are robots this time.

Her move names are ridiculous, I love it! Also, I like that she's not all about sweets, but also has her absolute magic.

Another question about this combo: it seems that my timing is off, since the enemy recovers before the second 22C, but when I try to delay any moves, the combo just falls apart. And I can actually land that 22C in CSII. What am I doing wrong?

Huh, I knew about the 5C feint and jC delay, but didn't know about 2C, cool. Does he get any buffs on these moves if he holds them long enough, like Tager's 6A or B Sledge? Maybe jC gets something like that instead of a feint.

It's not watered down, it's just portable. But anyways, this is not something that should be argued about in the artwork thread.

All the PSP ports have been very good so far, aside from the graphics (which don't matter at all, really) and some network lags between different PSP models.

No one cares, but Linne's familiar turned out to be called Kuu-chan.

Same here, though I think I'll concentrate on Plat first. And, you know, the fundamentals, which I still suck at.
