Teddie Explains How To Play Persona 4: The Ultimate In Mayonaka Arena

By Spencer . February 17, 2012 . 3:13am

Considering Teddie invited the cast of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 and a few guest from Persona 3 to the Mayonaka Arena for a fighting tournament, it’s only fitting he explains how to fight.

 

 

Here’s a quick rundown of what Teddie said:

- You use the joystick to move and tap it twice to dash.

- The A and B buttons are for character attacks.

- C and D call out your persona for attacks.

- A persona break occurs when your persona gets hit this freezes persona attacks until the persona gauge (underneath your life bar) recovers. Each time you use your persona it takes up one tarot card.

- Throw is C + D and you can throw a blocking opponent

- Press the A button repeatedly to do a chain combo.

- B + D does a Street Fighter IV style focus attack that drains a bit of your life, but will recover over time.

- A + C + D executes a Burst that knocks an opponent away.

- A + B does a Bokosuka attack (called an All-out rush in an earlier build). You can mash theser buttons to deal more damage. Follow up with C and you can launch an opponent or end with D to knock a player back.

- QCF x 2 + C or D does a SP skill (Persona attacks like Ziodyne), but this uses your SP gauge.

- When your life bar is low Awakening is automatically activated this increases the SP gauge’s maximum energy from 100 to 150 and enables a new super move.

    • Aoshi00

      Yeah, both the music and animation are amazing, look at the book pages flipping in the background (for the 2.5D Kenshin PSP game, everyone just kinda moves the same.. give me a sprite based RK fighting game alrdy!).  Kugimiya Rie FTW :)!!  

      • http://myfigurecollection.net/collection/ashgail Ashgail

        The sprites look a bit stiff, but I can live with it. You don’t get that many sprite art fighter nowadays, so I really want this and Under Night in Birth to succeed. 2D sprite art is in my heart!

  • Herok

    so glad that this is coming to the U.S. I will be able to play this without high import fees

  • http://twitter.com/Khman145 Daniel

    So gonna import this.

  • neetyneety

    Oh hell, just mashing the A button lets you deal out a whole automated combo… just like the Stylish thing in Blazblue. And just like that, I’m never touching it. It’s just too… ugh.

    • http://myfigurecollection.net/collection/ashgail Ashgail

      Try playing stylish against proper players. You’ll regret that you chose stylish. It’s not a “win” button, you know.

      • neetyneety

        Of course I know that, I’m getting pummeled as it is trying to use Ragna against Hakumen players and inevitably failing. But the way the stylish thing is actually BUILT into the game (P4U) is really turning me off… I know I shouldn’t judge yet as I haven’t even played it, so I guess I’ll wait for a review or something.

        • http://myfigurecollection.net/collection/ashgail Ashgail

          Unless you’re a pro player, I don’t think you should worry about Easy Mode in fighters. The way I see it, mash A to combo is just a simpler form of PKSHS chain in Guilty Gear or ABC in BB. It doesn’t do much damage, just a starter for your combo, unless you have meter, which in P4U connects you to a super.

          • neetyneety

            That’s also one of the reasons why I’m so worried: even the supers are set up to be incorporated into the mash combo. Maybe I’m just being stubborn, but I don’t like the whole concept of supers being so easily activated on the fly; that’s why they have complicated button combinations, so they’re not so easily spammed (though it usually depends on which fighter you’re playing).

            Anyways, I get your point; maybe I’ll warm up to it once I actually get to play the darn thing, don’t knock ‘em till you try ‘em, right?

          • http://myfigurecollection.net/collection/ashgail Ashgail

            Mmm hmm. I have faith in Arc Sys, that’s why. I know how you’re feeling, but I think Arc knows what they’re doing. We’ll see how it turns out. Even if it doesn’t live up to the standards, I’ll always have Rise

          • http://www.genkaibreak.com Code

            Mmmm I’m not too concerned, if anything I think it might help make the game more inviting for newcomers, and players who don’t play a lot of fighters. Auto-A into Super, means players who abuse it are going to blow there bar pretty early and quickly. Like Ash said it’s basically just flattening out a base combo most fighters have. On top of that players who predictably use it, one might lose there bar to a well timed burst o3o”

            I’m confident ASW knows what there doing, the game as had some good location testing, and if it was game breaking, it probably would have been revised at this point owo’

      Too userfriendly? Too much fun? Too complex? Too tactical? Too fast? Too good looking? Too wellcrafted? Too balanced? Too hot? Too tournament friendly? Too good to be true?

      Then you would be correct.

  • Prinnydoom

    The controls seem simple which is good. I could never get into street fighter because of how clunky and confusing the move set’s were. Games that make things simpler for the player i like ^__^ Can’t wait for this. Its going to be beariffic ^__^ sorry couldn’t help myself

    I had to mute it. Teddie’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard. 

    • Aoshi00

      Well Jpn Teddie (Kuma) is Usopp from One Piece.. In recent years Yamaguchi Kappei has been voicing the more weird and funny chars like the monkey-ish Raimon in Eyeshield 21 (he’s L in Death Note too).. back then he did mostly bishounen roles like Ranma or Arslan (the Heroic Legends of Arslan), Sumeragi Subaru in Tokyo Babylon, etc, he’s one of my favorite seiyuu, really cool and beautiful voice, but he does comedic and “annoying” chars in recent years.. I haven’t played P4 much in Eng so don’t remember what Teddie in Eng. sounds like.. guess you’re not a fan of the P4 anime?

    “B + D does a Street Fighter IV style focus attack that drains a bit of your life, but will recover over time.”Ummm that didn’t seem like it (which was pretty lame for SF).  

  • heartless141

    everything about this game is simply fabulous max. can’t wait for the game, hopefully packing some seriously nice editions 

  • konsama

    This game looks superb, love the art and foind it pretty similar to GG even the Burst attack xD, i will surely try to get this game even if it isn’t localized. Though I just hope Atlus stop milking the persona series so much, this could end up being counterproductive to them :/

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Roberto-Armando-Iraheta/775564143 Roberto Armando Iraheta

    Gotta love their attention to detail. Having SP to use, to using iconic Megaten spells and more. I’m sold on this game. I wish I could afford the cabinet, guess I’ll wait ’til summer. :’(

  • Solomon_Kano

    I really can’t wait for this.

  • Testsubject909

    This is unacceptable!

    There’s a clear lack of puns in this English translation of yours Spencer!

  • Haohmaru HL

    Kuma’d better explain why then even fight in the first place, it must be pure fanservice just like gundam 2d fighting games.
    the thing is i love fightings and love shin megami tensei series, but making them fight? on GG basics? really? paaaaass..

    OMG, I can’t wait for this game!~
