Honestly, It's probably just best to wait and see. I remember people calling Vanilla CP Hakumen nothing but buttcheeks, but he ended up being really good.

Nothing we didn't already expect but we're getting a 13 pages of Persona Q/Arena in the next Famitsu. http://www.famitsu.com/famiweb/next.html Probably detailed rundown on Rise and Ken

Actually reading through the patchntoes now Rofl, only in P4 do the top tier get stronger and the low tier get nerfed.

I really don't get all the Ken hate. Its going to be really lonely when Ken gets a section on the forums.

Story wise, Rise playable kinda makes sense, considering she was kidnapped in P4 AND in P4U, she probably got tired of feeling helpless and went through some character development.

You know what, after knowing this and relooking at the video. The persona on the left looks dead like Himiko and whoever is playing is using another palette. You can even make out Himiko's satellite.

Ken will make me drop Chie, but how the hell would Rise fight.

Actually I didn't even notice that. The persona drops a object, it pauses for a moment, it travels up and shoots a stream of projectiles, stops again, and then travels back down shooting again. I'd make a video showing where it is exactly, but we're only 9 days off from knowing what it really is so why even bother.

Pretty sure that one was fake. But yeah, whatever happens on the 25th, we'll be seeing something new. We don't have any character that summons a yellow projectile that travels vertically while shooting a stream of light.

Maybe P4 characters have their ultimate persona's now? Edit: I give up, that isn't Medea as I originally thought. Guess we gotta wait for the 25th.

Well that definitely isn't Kala-Nemi or Nemesis behind the character on the right. So that rules out Ken. If anything the persona reminds me of Medea

Looks like it, I wanna say the one on the right is a female character. Their Persona really looks like Medea.

Are you f- Oh right, I forgot what day it is.

GGs to all the Noels I was playing last night, the Carl v Noel Matchup is fun as hell. Shoutouts to the people who RP in the lobbys lmfao.

Bumped just intime for April Fools.

A new version already? I'm guessing this is the version consoles will be getting soon.

So what was the announcement?

So I did some searching and found Aja Frontier's twitter, it was completely blank, hasn't been used in a long time. On the other hand I found one of the staff members for Aja Frontier who worked on Big Bang Beat, he tweets pretty often and his profile lists him as a programmer for Aja Frontier and links to their website. He hasn't posted anything about them or BBB in about 2 years though. His last tweet about Aja two years ago was just him saying he was aware about the site/server problems and for people to please be patient. I'd ask him whats up with Aja Frontier and if BBB has a future but I don't speak japanese and using google translate to talk to him about it seems kinda rude. In other news, I found some pretty cool Kinako restand combos, they seem pretty character specific. I'm gonna try getting my local poverty fighter community interested, but I doubt it'll get anywhere.

Started playing this again, seriously can't believe this game is so overlooked and that Aja's servers went down :\. Is there seriously no way to play netplay?

Looks like Forced Fatal Counters will now take one meter even if you whiff the attack. EDIT: Getting hit by Supers also disabled the both meters at the bottom.

Which of those is the new patch though?

Sweet, looks like I finally have a reason to use IRC again. I'm really interested in recording some netplay matches, which I'll probably do after I finish this Reinhard combo vid. Also, I don't think this was documented anywhere, but if the first hit of a combo Fatal Counter's (regardless of forced or actual counter) it'll increase the opponents guard break guage and you can force them into a dizzy state, even if they didn't attempt to block.

So is the netplay for this totally dead?

Ken where are you.
