I'm not sure why that is myself, I know from what I saw from Story Mode feeds, it's consistently Spunky Dragon With Deadly Legs, I dunno if that also exists in the Japanese settings or not.

Her ACTUAL title should be The Carnivore Who Discarded Womanhood, but I guess the title's too embarrassing even for ATLUS? Also I can't spell poo poo.

I'm pretty sure they call her both at times. I have no clue why.

Quick reminder for everyone tomorrow night around 10pm eastern time I'll be streaming an online tourney for this. It's not a definite start time to give the west coast players to wiggle room to get here.

I should be able to make the tournament but if I can't I'll let you know as soon as possible. I hope I have time to choose a character I like but if not I'll just use Yu.

Edit: Dacidbro made a few videos while at the FGTV House to explain the basics of P4A and then went over the basics of his character of choice, Akihiko. I have not watched these yet, but Dacidbro has been going in on this game hardcore so I expect the videos to be full of good information: http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2012/aug/06/dacidbros-persona-4-arena-basics-and-akihiko-tutorial/

Trying to get this game has been a nightmare. I went to two Wal-marts, a Target, and a Best Buy and none of them had the game. Finally, I hung my head in defeat and was forced to go to Gamestop. And they only ordered enough copies to fill their pre-orders so I was screwed there as well and STILL had to listen to that mouth-breather try to sell me on a bunch of poo poo I didn't come in for.

Businesses in general are seriously not interested in selling this game.

Just find a better combo. Seriously, it's not as bad as some people make it out to be.

On a side note, I'll be picking up both copies of this game (gamertag for both consoles are EnochP). I'll be playing the scrub Chie.

I'm planning to do the same, but all my joysticks are for 360. Has anyone had any experience with cross-console adapters? Do they actually work properly with no delay or drops with regards to input? Any recommendations?

I was wondering in regards to the 360's netcode: Do we trust the developers enough to say it's a 100% for sure thing that the netcode will get fixed? I'm about to buy this, and I'd perfer the Xbox version as that's what I have a fightstick for, but the main reason I'd need my own copy of the game is for online play.

From what I can understand, the patch is finished and is just the testing phase. ASW is pretty good on delivering on their gently caress ups and this isn't the first time this has happened. Blazblue CT had the same problem on the 360 and it was patched fairly quickly. I had no issues playing that game online.

How much does the story mode in this spoil the story of Persona 4 (or 3 for that matter)? I have a friend I usually play through fighting games with but he hasn't played Persona 3 or 4 and he probably will some day so I just wanted to see how viable it is to play this without ruining the story of two games he really should play.

Considering how this game is canon and what Elizabeth is doing here I'd say it probably has spoilers.

HELLO THERE I COME FROM THE FUTURE
I never got to play Persona 4 (my launch PS2 died before it came out), but I played Persona on the PS1, and Persona 3 on PSN.
Picked this up today because I love the universe it's set in, but yeah I was wondering how much of P4 this is spoiling.

Does P4 pick up where P3 left off, or is it like Persona 3 to Persona 1 where the connections were tenuous at best?
Is there a decent story synopsis for 4 that would catch me up?

I just picked Arena up, I'll probably be on PSN tonight, username is OdysseusRage, but I haven't played a fighter in months so I'm going to suck.

There's a few parts where they show a character and give a few nods to P3, but it's very much it's own thing. The plots are entirely separate. If you play story mode they wrap up the basics of each person's story when you choose them.

I might be getting these wrong but:

Nanako is finish story mode with ALL CHARACTERS ON HELL
Teddie is do all of 1 character's challenges.
Fuuka is complete ALL CHARACTER'S CHALLENGES.

I can't remember Mitsuru hers is probably arcade mode and I might be mixing up her and Teddie.


edit: or you can just be lazy like me and purchase them as dlc cause gently caress that poo poo

I unlocked Teddie as a commentator by beating arcade mode with Teddie, so at least that one is wrong.

I knew quite a few girls that sounded like chie in highschool. I gotta agree that the new voices aren't as good, but they're also less horrible in game/when you get used to 'em.

DLC glasses is probably the worst thing ever but this game is pretty awesome so it's okay.

I'm glad they kept the Character vs. Character specific dialogues in the game that they introduced in BlazBlue.

Chie vs. Yosuke, performing a simple Chie auto-combo has her saying "Everyday's great... at your... (Godhand Super Startup) JUNES!!" in time with her combo hits.

Great stuff

I have never owned a fighting game of any kind before but have always enjoyed playing them every so often with friends or something. Got this today for the Persona sequel and have had an absolute blast with it. It's a very fun game with a simple enough tutorial that I was able to jump right in.

Played some Story Mode and some Arcade before going online. I've enjoyed it, but being a complete newbie I have been getting tossed online. I'll get better though...hopefully...
