Yooo this game is craaaaaaaaaaaaaazy. Thought I was going to be running Yukiko but after getting a few minutes with Akihiko, I'm sticking with da boxer.
Still don't know what I'm doing, but I'm liking Akihiko's normals/ damage/ level mechanic. Landing lvl 3 hits off ex crossups, lvl 3 4a, or throws are hella fun.
And lol @ the status ailments. Got hit with the one that reverses your controls somehow.
Ggs Trumpet, going to hit the lab hard after playing you. Akihiko Mirror was so fun, we definitely need to get more games in later.
Sung, it actually played really well on my side. The netcode is really well done honestly. I wish KOF13's would of came out as good as this seeing how I think the netcode will help this game go along way.
man im really slightly obsessed with this game, i have to work a lot lately but i wake up in the morning wanting to play and when i get home i try to eat and get in a few hours before i conk out. havent felt like that about anything since SF4 vanilla

Agreed. I've got about 50 hours logged so far. The other day I was like, "Man, I need to take a break"...went to the computer, watched P4A match videos for about 10 minutes, couldn't help myself anymore and said "Well...that was a short break."

Both are somewhat difficult to play; Yosuke I would say is the most advanced character in the game. I won't discourage you, but if you want to play Yosuke, master the mechanics of jumping in this game. Learn your jump, double jump, super jump, airdash, instant airdash, air turn, Moonsault, and cancelling airdash into 2B into A+C.
It sounds like a lot, but most characters need to learn this stuff too, it's just more important for Yosuke. He's very unique so he can blow people up at low levels even if you're not very good, so that kind of evens things out.
I don't know much about Elizabeth, but you should definitely study her combos so you can figure out how to combo into status effects (mostly Fear/Paralyze) and pull off her insane max damage. Use EX moves a lot since you'll have meter to burn.
I don't think anyone has made a comment about the Story Mode of this game yet. I love that they made this a ligitimate sequel to the RPG with incredible story consistency. None of the characters seem forced or out of place including the Persona 3 characters. It pretty much works as if it was the next dungeon you had to do in the RPG.
The usage of mythology is still clever despite being so heavy handed (Labrys=Labyrinth, the dungeon being a maze, several bull/minotaur motifs, giant axe, and Labrys' jumping c attack actually hitting you with a maze). The set up gives a very compelling reason why everyone would be fighting each other. At least as far as Persona logic goes .
For anyone that enjoyed the Persona 4 story, but isn't into fighting games, I highly recommend you get this game. You can finish the Story Mode fights by running up to the computer and mashing light attack, or any button really, until they die. It's set to a pretty easy difficulty by default and, as far as I can tell, can't be changed. You might even enjoy the gameplay itself and try out Arcade Mode or against other people.

Thanks, loving elizabeth, its just hard because of her low health. Luckily if i get caught out of position, I can use my burst attack to get some nice distance. Just need to figure out those combos as you said.
this seems to be the next big thing in fighting games and i have to agree it looks interesting, also great netcode is always a big plus. is there any information on whether a port to the pc is planned for this?
