P4GA latest episode came out, so that's something to nibble on while waiting for this game that is literally a week from now :D Themes I'm REALLY looking forward to in P4U2: Adachi, Elizabeth, Yukari, Junpei, Margaret

When is P4U2 action being streamed at Super Arcade tonight?

vs. Hilda: Another one of Chaos' hard matchups, but in my opinion a lot more winnable than Vatista's. Because Hilda lacks a DP, you can gain momentum when you rush her down as well as roll through most of her attacks and get a combo started. The key to this matchup is simply playing patient and paying attention when guarding Hilda's blockstring, using B+C when you spot an opportunity and getting ever more closer towards to screw her up. Azhi is your friend in this, for she can scare Hilda into pressuring you or setting up orbs and allowing her to teleport to the other side of the screen closer to you, so at round start do make sure Azhi is riding Hilda's tail. Keep in mind that Chaos' IW is a threat to Hilda from full screen (unless she has CS), but at the same time any specials you perform at same range Hilda can not only punish with ease but steal your lizard from you and render you helpless from afar.

Alright, I'm gonna discuss Chaos' overall matchups and how I view them in my own honest opinion one by one. vs. Vatista: Easily one of Chaos' hardest matchups. From afar she has her orbs and lasers that can shut you out mercilessly and set up her explosive prisms in order to keep you out. Up close is even worse, as her DP is near death for Chaos, and her 66C can be really frustrating to deal with once you finally find yourself close to her. You also have to make sure your blocking is airtight, as literally one false move will reset your space, result in you taking massive damage, or both. At round start it's advised to immediately start shield guarding or retreating while holding down a button to send Azhi forward to intimidate Vatista from doing something and/or force her to come to you. If they blindly just keep throwing out orbs and lasers, just shield block it, as you'll get more GRD and eventually get vorpal. If Vatista notices what you're doing and charges just to steal vorpal from you, you can try to gain some space and close in on her, send Azhi on over to her if she isn't there yet, and/or just sit there and vorpal as well to sustain the bar and eventually make them want to try something else. When dealing with her pressure keep in mind that like Hilda, she only has one low, so when she's in the air make sure to stand guard as to avoid her [8]2C overhead (and throw attempts as well, miss those and you're back to fullscreen hell again). Chaos' B+C can be useful at long range to avoid fireballs, just be on the lookout for lasers and speed of fireball. If the fireball speed slow they might follow it and go for 66C--the B+C is perfect against that. Chaos EX 22C is a good tool for Azhi staying on top of Vatista, however assault rush-ins seem highly discouraged as Vatista can flashkick straight through them. Also, when she has meter or CS try not to jump so much as she will use flashkick to knock you out of the air.

My guess for not hearing JP version begin region-locked is most likely due to the fact Altus probably knows people outside of Japan will gameshare for it and might withhold the information in order to scare them into buying the US version, which was already announced to be region-free. Also Anne pls, I was only joking :P

While the original P4 anime had far better animation, I prefer P4GA mainly because everyone is much more enjoyable and lovable...for example, Yosuke is still that everyday *Japanese* teenage youth people can relate to but he isn't as offensive or unnecessary as he was in earlier P4 installments. It's also nice to the girls of P4 not having silly crushes on Narukami and having embarrassing moments with him. That's just my take on it though.

When was Anne-senpai ever nice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

GGs everyone I'm quite excited beating a Vatista and THEN a Hilda...hope I'm making some sort of progress

It would be godlike if it turned out Mercer's a beastly Kanji player. Then again, I sort of have a thing for VAs who can actually kick ass with their own characters lol

You only say that I bet because the latest episode was Adachi-only lol

Fun fact: If you have 200 meter and the opponent breaks your throw you can immediately perform IW should they try something

Pretty sure some non-fighting gamers are just gonna get the game now just so they can act out skits and love scenes with their characters in lobby mode lol

Ooh, I'd love to help! How do I get started?

Xbox players can gameshare too, you know. Matter of fact 360 gamesharing is much easier and better than PS3's version imo.

Think of it as this; you can hear people's reactions to the game and watch it on streams on Twitch, and then ultimately decide for yourself whether you want to own, rent or leave the game alone...bah, I dunno, I'm in the same boat as you man! I just want this game nowwwww D:

I apologize for it coming off that way, but at the same time it's unnecessary to hear people complain about it in a thread that doesn't even call for it. I'm not happy about Adachi being a playable character, but you won't find me complaining about it here, mainly because I know that if I don't like it, I can complain about it somewhere else. I'm not here for bad vibes and negative reactions--I'm really not.

Ugh, this whole talk about navigators/announcers is really putting me off >_> I'm pretty sure if you win or lose in a fight, it isn't to fault on something just merely talking to you. Also, unless the the text post covers up 75% of the screen, I'm quite sure it's something you don't have to worry about. If you don't want a navi, don't pick one. If you don't want to hear the other navi, just set the volume to zero. I really don't see what the big issue is about this. Whether you like or dislike navigators, that's fine. I'm just floored that people complain they lose matches and a have hard time winning simply because of navigators. You must've had such a hard time in the RPG. My condolences.

GGs to everyone I've fought up this point Aside from playing various matchups (most quite grueling to say the least), it's really fun experimenting online, seeing what works in certain situations and what doesn't with Chaos. I hope to at least encourage one person here to try him out and I'll be content :D

Liz and Margaret playable and Theodore round calling and narrating...pretty soon Velvet Room's gonna be a playable stage fighting to Aria of the Soul with Igor as your Navigator. "Welcome...to the ass-whoopin' I tried to warn you about."

When does Famitsu come out this week?

ggs to everyone I've played

Thinking back on how oddly enough Marie is positioned with P3 characters (Marie being on the P3 side of P4U2 boxart and Marie posing with Yukari and Mitsuru in PQ), I'd like to think Marie will be on the P3 side in the official character select lineup. I'm also at point with Atlus where if they're gonna announce anything else, they should hurry and do it right away lol. I can only take in theories and speculations for so long without wanting to lose my mind and run screaming into the night.

Even though Chaos' IW is great against zoners, if the lizard isn't by the opponent he has a seriously hard time getting in on them. Personally, I can deal with Hilda and her shenanigans, but Vatista is whole other story. She can literally projectile you to death, and since the reflector doesn't go as far when it absorbs a projectile, you're pretty much stuck. Also, she can repeatedly throw out orbs and beams to no end.

I'm gonna try and encourage as many people to download the DLC characters for the first week as I can, even if they don't plan to buy the game. I'd hate for someone to get the game down the road and then complain about paying for DLC when it was free for the entire first week. Also today marks new P4U2/P4AU trailers along with P4GA episode 4(?), so get hype :D

Not really...ish. If you were to gameshare it, half of it's around $35
