I think more people play Minazuki than Sho mostly because he has a better set of tools for playing neutral and a lot of people like having this. Also, who can escape the irresitable lure of the teleport swag?! :P In terms of their strength, they feel about equal with maybe Minazuki having a slight edge. Whether Sho can surpass Minazuki in the long run is a tricky question, for me at least. On the one hand, I want to say Sho has the potential to pull ahead of Minazuki because dealing with a character that excels in pressure can be tough for a lot of people. But on the other hand, the more I watch Sho, the more I feel that for other characters, winning the matchup against Sho just by dominating the neutral game might be very doable. Or at least, those are my current thoughts on the matter.

Somewhat disappointed in the cloth after the godly Orie posters but it's still pretty neat because it has Nanase on it. Also, almost a month and a half left to go!...starting to wonder if we'll get Nanase gameplay footage before release though ;.;

Reading posts like this is always awkward because it's always very clear the person posting has a very limited understanding of the overall topic but yet feels the need to look down on others who oppose his opinion :S But enough of this, let's get back on the topic of news and gameplay people before the mods start issuing warnings.

Looking at the second scan from Kurushii's tweet (Thanks a ton!), I'm really digging the new main menu screen. Also, dat Rise palette. Is it too early to shotgun palettes? :P

Whether it's a raging lion or a persona normal, it looks like it has good reach. Based on the slashing arc, I wonder if it'll vacuum as well. Oh, you're right. It was hard to see at first because of the tiny screenshot. Thanks. Yeah, I don't think he'll have a shadow version either. I'm guessing they just made the eyes in his portrait that way to keep up with his "I'm just an ordinary guy. Nothing strange about me" image

Ok, yeah, that's definitely his old gun in his character select art...yet not one of the screenshots shows him using it >,< Also, god damn, these Adachi facial expressions are the best. Also, that looks like a sword made out of light in the bottom right screenshot? Not going to play him but he's looking pretty spiffy.

It's possible that Adachi will be there. It's the best time since I don't think there'll be any more big gaming conventions between E3 and release for them to show him off yet. But I also wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't there. Guess we'll see in just 5 short days ^,^ Hope they do a complete walkthrough of Rise's moveset and maybe show off some starter combos. Next week is shaping up to be one hell of a week XD

Hard to tell in this scan but so far, that gun doesn't look like his pistol from P4, The gun looks overall bigger than a pistol and seems to have a hand grip attachment in front of the trigger, similar to what you would see on some submachineguns

4 persona cards, looks like he's holding some sort of submachinegun. Hmmm, going to need a better shot to get more details.

Depends on the format of the first post really. If you don't plan to put the name of the Sho player next to the links, then a post for notable players would be good. But if you do end up listing the names, I don't think it's too much trouble for people to look through the listings specifically for notable players if that's what they want to watch. 2014/5/5 1.10 - MAXIM HERO Singles Tapyuk vs Nikuta (Mitsuru) Tapyuk vs Bokuzen (Akihiko)

Hype levels are rising to explosive levels. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone coming from out of town ^,^

Still highly skeptical of the health meter theory but we'll see. There could indeed be extra factors that we're missing that makes the health meter theory more reasonable than it does now.

Yeah, his instant kill was pretty nice. Hmmm, still no signs of Koromaru's actions taking meter, which is concerning. Though the first time you see him in action, you see part of his meter depleted.

So glad that ASW wised up and let Aksys handle the localization this time. Looks like I might not have to import the game after all. Still, probably getting both versions though. Just need to find a way to get my hands on a PS4 stick. Also, here's hoping that playable at E3 is foreshadowing for an Evo showing as well. Would love to get some early hands on time with the game while I'm there.

oooooo, some of those setups were pretty delicious. I liked the jA fuzzy one in particular

Yeah, seems like a weird bug from linking from a mobile device? No matter, just delete the "?app=desktop#/" part of the link and it should work

I'm pretty sure Wiping All out is in the game already. I definitely remember hearing it in one of the match videos. I'll see if I can find a link. EDIT: Found it! It's faint in this video because of the commentator and the background noise but it's definitely Wiping All Out
