Yeah, the hard thing is deciding which character I want to play. I already play Kanji and Akihiko, but with Junpei coming in both of them are getting dropped, plus I want to try the new OG guy as well. I'm also sure they are going to have another character announcement for someone we really aren't expecting.

I'm gonna play as Junpei so hard. Since I only ever play as Slabs I can have a second character no problem and the best character from 3 definitely deserves playing.

I hope the game comes with some pretty neat bonus swag. I was pretty sad when I didn't get some of the cool stuff the EU version did, which they totally deserved with what they went through.

The hype aside, onto the actual P4A:

I decided to try Yukiko's challenge 30 today for fun. Now the whole day has passed by and I'm so close I can taste it but yet so far. My latest attempt got me 9912 damage out of the 10,000 needed. :sweatdrop: I've gone over the ArcSys combo so many times I'm just attempting it on muscle memory alone, but it's just or two stray hits of I guess 5C not connecting.

Is there anything that can connect after an Agidyne D? If it's just that little bit I'd do anything to try to clear this challenge that has consumed my weekend.
Pretty much. If you can get that close to 10,000 dmg it means you have the combo down except you're not getting full hits on the C attacks and maybe on the second super as well.

To get full hits on the 5C 2C just delay the 2C. Maybe delay the initial 5C as well after releasing the second hit of SB Agi? And for the '5C xx Agi xx Agidyne, Agidyne' don't cancel 5C into Agi too quickly. For the second Agidyne, I used a visual cue: I would complete the input of the super around the same time as the wall bounce. All hits of the super will connect if the super freeze happens right after the dummy begins to fall away from the wall.

- they have added many new BGM,
P4 characters mirror match now plays P4G battle theme "Time to make history",
P3 female characters plays "Wiping all out" and P3 shadow characters play P3 boss fight,
P4 shadow characters play their own shadow dungeon theme.
They still have all the old themes so I think they switch by random?


Going to learn Shadow characters just for this.

Oh man Rise's shadow theme was the funniest and she's not a fighter.

You can actually kind of cheat it by placing some Agis down and hold them there, let your meter recharge, then attempt your combo from there if you think those two extra bombs will give you the extra damage you need.

Yeah, I managed to get it today. I'm not sure exactly what I did the 324th time that worked - probably timed the last Agi just right or something.

In any case, finally finished that so I just have... eight more of her challenges for that trophy. Or I could do Yosuke's last three but I'm really not looking forward to his challenge 30.

Just letting people know a third loketest is in progress, check Dustloop out for info and things.

Kanji players everywhere are sad.

Excited for Teddie, though his apparent new increased reliance on items has me iffy. Might go Shadow Teddie if his new autocombo is bad, but I'm fairly sure I'll dabble in Shadow Yukiko just for the voice and Shadow Kanji just for the victory pose.

The new guy isn't playable in this build so we're certain to have at least one more test, and Kanji could very well be the best character then! Though, as long as Narukami and Chie don't get their ridiculous sweep->5D bullshit back, I'm happy.

I just don't know what on earth would have compelled ASW to both remove invuln from his grabs and make them fatal punishable. That's like the worst idea ever, why would you do that? The entire point of a grappler is to make them fear your command throws to get them to do dumb things that you can punish them for, but now there's no reason to be afraid of any of his throws, anti-air or otherwise.

I'm sad they're doing horrible things to j.C, too. I loved that as an anti-antiair.

The site also adds that this arcade will be having weekly tournaments for the game every Friday starting the 29th so it has to be the final release. Not too surprising, that's three months or so from the first public loctest to arcade release.

I haven't been keeping tabs on this new version since it got announced, have they put out system/character changelists yet or is it all the information still word of mouth based on loctest play? I'm praying that they gently caress up and make Yukiko derpy this time around so I can win without putting any work in. Negative edge combos man, gently caress 'em.

No official changelog as far as I know, and we shouldn't go into the final release assuming anything from the loctests still holds water, even this latest one. Balance!

Assuming they're not going to take out any of the new moves, Yu and Aigis have command grabs, Yosuke has a new super only available in Sukakaja, Teddie has Nihl Hand and a new super that throws multiple items, and Yukiko has a a Firebird-like move that she can only use after a certain Fire Boost level.

It's a 'projectile' of sorts where T/M shoulder-checks the opponent fullscreen and ignores projectiles. However, it got nerfed into the loving ground in the most recent loctest and there's not too much in the way of hope of it going much better come release.
