They overcomplicated that idea.

Dojima doesn't need a goddamn Persona. He just waltzes into the arena, slightly drunk, and delivers an old-fashioned classic-style beatdown. Maybe he has a Persona, I dunno, it doesn't matter either way because he doesn't use it.

Adachi would fit the game a lot better than Dojima. I'm still hoping he gets in as a DLC character or something along with some of the cast of P1 and P2 (I know it won't happen shutup :()

I wouldn't count anything out as DLC at this point. It will probably evolve if the game does very well... which I can only imagine it doing.

Adachi has the same voice actor as Yu, he even used the same Persona as him. If anyone gets added I bet it will be Junpei(cool a character with a big sword) or the dog(cool a dog). It would probably be someone from P3 and most of the other characters from it are already in alt costumes. I guess Ken would be a cool character because he uses a spear but I don't think anyone cares about Ken.

Junpei's been my bet for a DLC character the whole time, because he has a fighting style that isn't really represented in the game otherwise (Yu uses a katana, but that's the closest we have to someone wielding a big sword without any real idea how). He's also the P3 character I'm most interested in seeing a couple years after the game's events. He's got the sort of directionless, short-sighted attitude that would in most situations lead to kind of a crash when high school ends and he has to start thinking about stuff, but I think he's also got the drive to want to make something of his life. I'm genuinely curious where he'd end up after high school.

Moot point in Japan, they have different voice actors who sound nothing alike there. If anything it's because of where he is post game that he won't be in it, not that or even his Persona.

I would not put it past them to put him as DLC later though, provided the console version does well. Adachi has a very strong fanbase in Japan that has gotten him included in stuff before; his Japanese voice actor revealed on a drama CD that Adachi was finally put on one of the CDs because fans in Japan kept constantly requesting it, and it's probably the exact reason for why he has a social link in the Golden now.

Basically all his fans over there need to do is beg enough for it and it could end up happening. I'm not holding my breath for it (because once again, it's not like he's exactly able to willy nilly show up right now) but I sure wouldn't be surprised. (In which case Atlus USA can feel rightfully silly for keeping JYB as Yu)

Played four rounds at Kyoto GAME, tried out Elizabeth and Aigis twice each, got dunked pretty hard by a guy playing Yu exclusively. Game handles quite well, too bad I'm horrible at fighters :saddowns:

Having had no knowledge of Elizabeth's moveset at all, I was really just randomly pressing buttons and hoping I won; however I noticed when I grabbed my opponent, I hit him with LAHVAHS (Charm status); are there other statuses that the grab can inflict?

I dunno. All Adachi really has to do to escape is to jump into a TV set and I'm sure prison has at least one. Also doesn't P4A take place in TV World so it's not like he has to worry about Teddie letting him out. It would be nice to have a more evil character involved that wasn't a robot girl.

Of course if I had my wish we'd have Baofu, Ulala, Katsuya, Elly, Lisa, Nanjo, Yukino and a few others as well.

Adachi probably won't be in because it would be tough to do without giving away the whole plot of P4 and they don't want to give people less reason to buy P4G by spoiling it all.

But the question is would he have any reason to? It was pretty clear to me that he meant it when he said he was going to abide by the rules of the world now and take his punishment. Him escaping seems really out of character for the way he's presented to us after being defeated... it'd kinda ruin it for me to be honest.

...Then again there's the whole unresolved matter of how Labrys got in the tv in the first place........

Eggplant Squire

P4A seems like they are messing with the plot a little anyway. It wouldn't be that hard to turn Adachi into some kind of anti-hero or give him some reason to show up in order to resolve something that's not "abiding by the rules of the world" or whatever. I agree if they just say "I was just pretending BITCHES!" it would be lame though.

Seeing as how Adachi has the exact same persona as the protagonist only-he-has-a-gun, and is the worst character, I'm really glad he's not in this game.

Her normal and air throws both inflict Fear status. Her R-Action throw causes a different effect depending on how high her SP meter is filled:

0 - 49 SP: Charm
50 - 99 SP: Poison
100 - 149 SP: Fear
150 SP: Confusion

I think her Guard Cancel also behaves like her R-Action? But I don't know if it causes any sort of status effect or not ...


As far as characters go, I think we're pretty much guaranteed to get at least two out of Junpei, Yukari, and Kuromaru. Other than that, who knows. As long as it isn't Ken.

Actually about that, It's been pointed out in game that just jumping into a TV isn't fool proof, since without a navigator you probably aren't going to find an exit

I still can't see Koromaru being a character all on his own, unless they supersize him for hitbox balance purposes. I can see him being involved with Junpei's attacks somehow though if Junpei is added.

Gwyrgyn Blood
Dec 17, 2002

Well, there are plenty of ways to make short characters work and not be real gimmicky. Carefully handling hitbox sizes and creatively animating things goes a long way. That being said, I have no idea how tall Kuromaru is actually supposed to be in the first place.

Chin from KOF or Okina from LB2 are pretty good examples of not-stupidly-gimmicky short characters who you don't really need any(?) character specific combos for. Amaterasu also works pretty well as a character all things considered, but you do need character specific stuff on her.


Teaming Kurmaru up with Junpei does seem more likely though, as ArcSys seems to be focusing on "normal" sized and shaped characters in this game. Teddie is the closest to a off shaped character and really he's just a little bit shorter while standing and that's it. I could see them doing a setup like C normals being regular Persona attacks, and D normals being Kuromaru based attacks.

Though that would invoke images of Dog Zappa or perhaps Rera...

Given that this is the same franchise that has mythical deities running around like it's half off day in Bob's discount mythology emporium, messing the plot is rather easy, all said.

For all you Kanji kids out there, here's some really loving good matches from a Kanji player named Pet.

VS Kaqn (Aigis) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKa8axcmsO4
He seems a little impatient at times in this one, but holds up really well considering. 5C can FC punish Aigis's B+D on reaction, which is awesome.

VS Shadow (Naoto) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnO_oT-uApU
First time since the early days I've seen a Naoto actually play an IK centric game. Really the quintessential grappler matchup here, extreme levels of patience and big damage output once he's in. @10:20, oh god Naoto use your burst

VS Chie & Yu - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Plze5H6nQQ
Wow I didn't know he could delay his j.C. And he baits Chie's Hyper Counter using 2A 2A+B :I Tragic gently caress up at the very end though.

VS Naru (Yu) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhaIB3m7WvI
Just more good stuff, stick around for the end of this one.

Looking at Kanji being able to bait Chie's counter by low profiling it with sweep makes me wonder how many other characters have a move that is fast enough and puts them low enough to the ground to be able to pull that off.
