[OOC] The True Self - Persona

[Sho Minazuki]

I just stick to the way we do it in English.

Unless we're all speaking Japanese.

[Savo]

Once he actually befriends her (if he ever does), he might start using it... Maybe.

I'm also kind of doing it because in another roleplay, gotta use honorifics and I want to play my character as he would be played icly... I know, weird, maybe, idk, xD

Using someone's last name is more respectful. Using someone's first name is more personal. If Kaminari doesn't consider Akemi a good friend, he should use her last name. Considering Akemi, I would think that's the more likely case XDI'll get back to you on that backstory thingy in a bit.

Last name is seen as formal and respectful and it better to use San and sama if you use her last name. Because Kun and Chan with first names are more personal.

Yeah, after the first meetings with each characters, I will stop using them, it just my way of showing how he views each characters at the start. Just assume he using them after that point.

[Savo]

I'm still possibly going to use them though... Maybe.

[RolePlayerRoxas]

Sen: Sato is accepted.

Now to post and stuff.

[Sho Minazuki]

Guysguysguys.

Get hype.

[SwordfishKnight]

Sorry for the short post, but I don't know how to lengthen it out much more.

[Cuco]

So, the Student Council room didn't become a clusterfuck, but the arcade just might XD

[Sen]

Quick Question:
Which characters here are third-year students?

[Sho Minazuki]

I hath posted.

Also how many of you have been to an arcade in Japan? They usually have 4-6 machines per fighting game, all back to back. I remember I once went to a small one in Kyoto, and it had 6 Persona 4 Arena, 6 Blazblue, 4 Guilty Gear, and 4 Melty Blood, as well as two machines with all those games in the back that were intended for singleplayer.

[SwordfishKnight]

I never got to go to an arcade when I did live there. I've been to plenty in the U.S though.

[Sho Minazuki]

While I wait for Aquaknight to respond and introduce his characters to mine, should we do a scaling of how good our characters are at P4AU, and their mains? Just for fun, and it may help if our characters actually do start playing.

I'll start.

Rui
Main: Sho Minazuki (Persona) - 8/10
Sub: Yu Narukami, Yosuke Hanamura - 7/10

10/10 I consider as big tournament finalists (like EVO).

Yes I love fighting games.

[RolePlayerRoxas]

Well, no idea how I rank, given how little I've actually got to play the game, but I've felt most comfortable with Yu and, strangely enough, Yukiko.

Derp, misread that. Oh well. Akemi would suck horribly at the game, anyway.

Presumably anyone in the 17-18 range. Akemi's a third year, at least.

[Cuco]

Sachiko would probably suck too XD Especially since she's never played before.

[Sho Minazuki]

I guess ya'll out in the town just outside of cities don't play it much. My character came from the city, so he's played it often.

But personally, I'm thinking of picking up one of the Shos for main, with Adachi as well, and Yosuke (who is apparently improved beyond belief now).

[Sen]

That's what I thought, but I didn't want to take assumptions in case they weren't, and in the end my question wasn't even worth asking since I didn't really need the info anyway. Good to know Akemi's a third year, though.

Regarding P4A skills, Sato would just pick Yu and use autocombos. 2/10 would not play with again.

Myself personally, I love fighting games, but I'm pretty trash at them. I main Yosuke (5/10?) and Naoto (6/10 maybe), and my subs are Elizibeth (4/10 but I know those Liz strats) and Yu (probably like, 5.5/10). I find Yosuke the funnest to play as, while I just like Naoto's battle style overall. Liz because she's amaze and the only reason I ever play Yu is because I know him well and I can probably fight the most competently with him.

Is he? The only real way I can think of improving Yosuke is by either increasing his damage potential, giving him more pressure options, or making him even more agile. And speaking of new mains, I'm totally going to play as Marie exclusively and nothing can stop me from doing so.

[Sho Minazuki]

Oh yeah, he is waaaaaaay improved now. Before his throwing knives kind of just reset to neutral all the time, kind of throwing the opponent into the air. His Neutral Game is meant to be the best in the game, but even then he still loses matchups that he should have otherwise won. Now his auto-combo gives him advantage and okizeme opportunity, his new skill V Slash helps with it, since it lets him implement the air-to-ground low-hit with Persona and improve mixup potential. His dashing assault has two versions now that are more distinct. The A version will cause him to jump back (as opposed to just getting into the air above them with the old one), so you can use the A version, and if it's blocked, you can Moonsault backwards after the back-jump and get away to almost fullscreen. The B version will cause him to jump behind them automatically. Also his knives kind of just hitstun, so it doesn't send them into the air anymore, this is good, since you can keep them where you want them (which is not in the air).

His mixup potential is vastly improved just form those, but other changes are to his Sukukaja. It gets a new, unique and cooler auto-combo that goes into his 150 special (use 50 for the Sukukaja, and burn 100 for the new SP skill). His A during Sukukaja becomes an instant dash strike, really fast, moves fairly far, and chains with itself quite well. So he's become easier to play, as well as stronger, but is given better tools for the more advanced players to make use of.

Also Yu is now the sole S tier (though that may change with Marie, Margaret and Adachi's release).

[Haru Nyan]

Did someone say.... ARCADES ?!
O W O
Not really a fan of fighting games(I'm a casual at best...I don't know how Tiers work or how that 4A, 2B, 3C stuff works...)
Rhythm games on the other hand, I like playing. Especially DrumMania and GuitarFreaks. Pop'n music also come to mind. I like visiting the local arcade after school, thank god it's only walking distance.

[RolePlayerRoxas]

I'm still waiting for Minato to be playable. Or Makoto... or whatever the hell P3MC wants to be called these days.

Also, plot will probably happen shortly.

[Haru Nyan]

I confess, I named the P4 protagonist "Tamaki Suoh" (Yeah the bishie from Ouran...) because I didn't know what he was called back then...
Also, I think the FeMC for P3P was dubbed Hamuko...or Minako...
