I want to add upon this. Looks look we were mistaken. When not in Vorpal Guard Thrust will cost all of your EXS if your over 100. And will still result in GRD Break. In short if you have over 100 and use it when not in Vorpal, your EXS will drop to 0 no matter how high it was Now I understand why you almost never see it in matches. All this time I thought it only cost 100 and resulted in GRD Break

Margaret and Marie are on the twitter photo the person took but they aren't on the picture of the art same on the website you linked. Thats odd. Guess we'll just have to wait to see if they announce Magaret next month

Where is that image from Having Margaret randomly there... would only mean one thing. Especially with Marie there too. Margaret IS P4's Liz so. It's not that surprising. They seem to want to get the best of both worlds in this game and wrap everything up. Was expecting Undead Minato for the final character. Dunno why I didn't consider Margaret

Huh forgot all about that move. Your most likely right

It's hard to tell because innately Kaguya doesn't really have any offensive spells besides Hamaon and Mahamaon. And Marie doesn't have a holy arrow like move in her boss battle

So far it looks like Marie has Sunny, Cloudy/Foggy, and Rainy weather modes. Rainy is the only one that has a visual buff like HP Up. Maybe the other weather patterns affect her normals/specials Aching for a video but I think I just may have finally found my main for this game

With her possessing 5 cards that's at least telling us Kaguya will be of use throughout much of her neutral game like the other 5 card users (Teddie, Yukiko). Other than knowing she excels at ranged attacks and has a weather system (and possibly gaining buffs from the weather) not much else to go on. Really need to see actual footage of this character

Yea. If your in Vorpal state you can use Guard Trust at the cost of your Vorpal only. But if your not in Vorpal Guard Thrust costs 100 EXS and puts you into GRD Break

Thanks. People were saying it usually takes about a week for them to show a preview of the character right And given what you said that means the lobby in the screenshot is.... Yasogami High School. Looks nothing like the school for whatever reason Thought it was the Velvet Room all this time. You can see the magician card on a little post to the right. Each room might have a different color scheme depending on the arcana.

So the only information from the Marie scans is that she has a Weather system? Or was there a bit more

I started testing the setup in U1 when I saw it and I think once the Sweep is blocked the setup is unavoidable unless they burst on block or use 50 meter to guard cancel at the last moment. If they don't have either resource I believe they cant get out of it. Sweep > Berserk > 5B may or may not be gapless but in the vid you see that Kanji is still stuck in his block animation right before the 5B hit so it might be gapless. Cant test that in U1. But 5B > Gears in U1 is gapless even on IB. All versions of Gears in both games have startup of 16 frames so it should still be gapless in U2. No SB Gears in U1 so I couldn't test OMC Brutal because C/D Gears would end before the Brutal Impact came out. But from just watching the vid you can see the Kanji couldn't do anything. Hard to see with the video quality but it looks like it did around 4.9k

Hm. I've been trying to look for it the past few days but how much will the digital version cost exactly In the recent scan it shows 6980 yen which is without tax. So I'm wondering if that's the price or was another one said earlier. Haven't been following the game too extensively before Ken's unveil. Also going to need a little extra for Marie when she comes out

Oh thats Sho at the top. Black and white obscured my ability to see him. So shes really persona dependent it seems. Wonder if that's her 2B

Either she has 5+ persona cards. Or she has very little

All I can think is that it's like Blackhole and she's doing the animation for awhile. So they made Hakumen IAD over her head and he's hopping towards her now. As for Minerva, I can only think she switches the sides shes facing depending on where the opponent is. Thinking that way has the image make sense. But who knows

Weird. Whys Minerva facing the opposite direction from Hakumen and Celica. And why the hell is Hakumen behind Celica like that

Izayoi isn't a pick up and just play character but she's not one of the most complex either.

Really appreciate it. Just finished watching the video and I got down a couple of last notes on the mechanics. This time next week we should be downloading the game, get hype. I don't even have my yen yet though...

In Jojo's activating a stand would change a large portion of the characters normals. Like Jotaro, his Standless 5A is a short ranged knee. But with the Stand activated it becomes a jab (pretty much all his normals change but not every character is like that). Some other characters would sometimes keep the same animation but the range would be buffed because the Stand would also throw out a limb. Specials would sometimes have two forms as well. Where if you used them with your Stand off you could usually act independently from the Stand while they're doing the move. But with the Stand on they usually were stuck in recovery. But I think the Stand variations did more damage. Cant remember. You could spend one meter to have your Stand do a set sequence of normals if you input them as well. Kind of like Daisharin. And you could do whatever you like during this time while the Stand is hitting away. Might have made a mistake here or there because its been 2 years since I looked into the game. But you get the idea... I hope. Here a CMV to see it in action. If she worked like an Active Stand character that'd be extremely cool. But since she's for "beginners", I dunno.

It makes me think will she work exactly how the stand characters worked in the PS1 Jojo's game. Relius is close to it but not exactly. Iirc in Jojo, normals "changed" when you had your Stand active. Not so much "you gained access to new moves but kept your regular ones" like Relius has with Ignis's D moves. What I mean is Celica having 2 5Cs. When Minerva is unactive and active. Kind of like Izayoi's Normal Mode and Gain Art differences. It was still possible for a lot of Stands to act independently from their users in the game though

I was expecting a simple pallete swap of Ada but Minerva actually looks pretty damn cool

Wow. Can people just stop the Kokonoe syndrome bullshit every time they see a new character coming out. We know pretty much nothing except for one sentence on how Marie will play. Arcsys is shit at balancing their games but the conclusions people jump to are even more astounding Same thing was said about Rise as well

Site updated the info. Can guess they're in the process of translating the article "Marie will be a playable character in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, this week’s Famitsu reveals. She will arrive as paid post-release downloadable content. The “Hollow Forest Tsundere Poet,” who first appeared in Persona 4 Golden‘s Velvet Room, will use the Persona Kaguya in battle. Marie will make full use of the contents of her bag, as well as her Persona, and excels at ranged attacks and diversion techniques."

Yea I just skipped through a boss battle video and looked over the skills Kaguya learns in game. But it's still hard to gauge what type of character she'll end up as
