Diveman

I wanted Gilgamesh, but I guess Hilda already has "Gate of Babylon"

wait, what? When I read Akatsuki, I didn't think it was THAT Akatsuki...wtf.

I remember Vatista had some sick oki/resets with the red crystal, I imagine with that hover thing she can make them even more confusing. I just hope her combo potential isn't too nerfed, at least get a couple of loops > crystal knockdown/reset

Anyone knows the changes made to Vatista? I haven't seen a single one so far.

it's the hair

I don't know, I really like Vatista. I think she's really cool.

He does appear to have a "dodge" move like Frank west's roll so I guess we'll see some crossups with that and the lizard. He actually reminds me a lot of Shadow labrys because he has good speed and offensive potential even without the lizard. Also I think he's not really supposed to have him out all the time, but rather summon him in combos, kinda like Relius.

Thanks a lot, yeah I don't really know where to place Vatista on the tiers. She does seem super solid at zoning/oki setups, also she has good defensive stuff. But not many people play her I think.

Anyone knows the changes to Vatista and Hilda in the new version? also how strong were those 2? I read Hilda was like A-tier or something.

can't be more frustrating than some white haired swordsman activating lv3 x-factor + devil trigger and wasting all your team in 5 seconds. :P

Oh you're into Hilda too bro? I'm really pumped because she looks incredibly fun to play, plus dat oki + dat voice.

That's weird with Slab, so basically you can't do anything to her on wakeup? because she'll just use 2C to hit you =/ Also with Yukiko I'm gonna assume all her UB setups still work, but her new moves got me curious they don't really look/sound like they're that good

Not really, it was more like her lack of a good neutral game and overall gimmicky style. And for the record, Goro destroyed everyone with Makoto in BBEXT one time.

That kinda sucks. Unless you can actually hit him before he does it, but still sounds annoying.

Actually, a setplay that might be strong to get started would be get that 50 meter and do a short combo into Concentrate then finish your combo with SB Dia, now she's almost at full health AND in awakening which makes most of her moves improved.

hmmm so SB Ziodyne doesn't wallstick anymore? interesting but they didn't change Concetrate? because in vanilla you can meaty that and hit her regardless, like, it's still a good "install" super just not good for every situation.

-5C Dash- and backdash-cancelable. If first hit connects while very close to the opponent, second hit will go through them. Dash- or backdash-canceling first hit causes Thanatos to disappear without performing second hit. THIS is probably the most important change so far IMO, it means we now have safe pressure off 5C and not a whole guessing. 5B hop cancelable also sounds good.

I'm dying for some Yukari footage lol

The updated version of Persona 4 Arena is not currently planned for a release in the US, an Atlus representative tells IGN, and is an "arcade-only update." Ehhh????

The thing about Elizabeth is that she relies on gimmick and doesn't have much "solid" stuff, even with her new counter it's still a gimmick. What she gets is of course her big damage and status changes, but if you want to make her more solid you'd have to nerf those.

SB Red Axe super causes you to win the tournament on hit...and it's unblockable fullscreen.

AMERIKAJIN ‏@jiyunaJP now Yukari- Story wise, she looks like a Superhero/Power Ranger. 4 Cards. 2a is slow/low. She can put out wind orbs and bombs to zone w/ arrows.

I remember sitting on my chair, turning on my computer while drinking my coke and HOLY FFFFF SHIITTT!!!!!!

Yukiko has a new move and a new super.
