WintersWhite Report post Posted November 14, 2014 The burst could mean a lot of things. For all we know, it could mean the shadow characters don't need the 100 SP requirement anymore and the 'burst' meant it could do a shadow berserk. Before playing the game, I thought the burst logo would show up on a shadow character if it could do a shadow berserk. Or it could mean the shadow characters lose something else (like '1 more') while gaining the burst. We'll just have to wait and see. I'm thinking that "BURST" is meant to be a clearer visual indicator of when a Shadow can or can't initiate Shadow Frenzy. If it isn't that and it's something more significant, the dynamic of Shadows will be dramatically changed. Did you notice Shadow Ken didn't have 100 SP in the image?

RurouniLoneWolf Report post Posted November 14, 2014 After how quickly BBCP2.0 came out after P4U2 console version, you weren't expecting it to happen again? Gotta keep that arcade moneys rolling in. Yeah, but ASW is always a jerk like that to Persona. They announced BBCP the week of P4U1's console release too, lol. They usually give their own games some breathing room but I guess release time frames are really up to Atlus on this one. Also, not confirmed but twitter buzz is making it sound like there might be a loketest next Friday. EDIT: I guess the above 2 posts hold some truth. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Doobylover Report post Posted November 14, 2014 If the Shadow Characters get to burst, I'm willing to bet they can also IK as well. I don't think it's really that important for S.Chie to have a burst, since she needs that rushdown game, so let's not blow it way out of proportion. But yeah, P4U2 Shadow Characters pretty much going for P4A1/BBCP-hybrid style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FluxWaveZ Report post Posted November 14, 2014 Did you notice Shadow Ken didn't have 100 SP in the image? Yeah, but who's to say that the purple Burst logo doesn't change color, start pulsating or has some other visual indicator that one can now enable it when a Shadow achieves 100 SP? Like you said, we have to wait and see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balguna Report post Posted November 14, 2014 What if shadow characters are allowed to use their 100 meter to burst? It would give them a distinct advantage then since they can re-build that 100 meter a lot faster. Considering they already have more health, their only general major disadvantage would be the lower damage (which most Shadows can turn around with Shadow Berserk). If they were allowed to use 100 meter for Burst, I imagine it would come with a big penalty (like not being able to build SP for a considerable period of time). Best bet is really to wait a week or til we get more info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FluxWaveZ Report post Posted November 14, 2014 What if shadow characters are allowed to use their 100 meter to burst? I guess something like that would be interesting (whether the 100 SP was a requirement or not), but would the input still be A+C+D? In that case, I guess it would have two separate functions: whether the character was in hit/block stun (where A+C+D would = Burst) or not (where A+C+D would = Shadow Frenzy). Kinda like BBCP.

TheHitmarkersPro Report post Posted November 14, 2014 Because that went so well for Aigis. Orion: the move that exists to tell your opponent "you fucked up." At least it hits people on the ground. Aigis also has her X-Factor mode with the ridiculous conditions. I don't know what to expect. If we're heading BBCP2.0's route, then I'm expecting some dumb stuff.

I remember that unused image of Shadow Marie too. And as much as I know this won't happen, I'm honestly hoping for a Shadow Adachi. Just to hear him shout more.

WintersWhite Report post Posted November 14, 2014 Why don't we have everyone get a shadow mode now with the shadows getting some attention this update? But seriously, if the shadow characters really are getting buffed that would be awesome. I've been wanting to play some of them but I could never get into them.

Ichipoo Report post Posted November 14, 2014 This is just wishful thinking but I hope the 2.0 patch gives everybody else a 150 SP super. No reason why only a select few should get them, plus I want to do swag finishers with Naoto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
