Butters

Teddie's sprite looks even dumber than I expected. Also, death counter for Naoto seems cool. Maybe if you hit with enough Mudo/Hama moves and the counter hits 0, they just die flat out. That would be pretty funny.

You can tell this game still has a lot of work to go, because the little icon that tracks a character being off screen is always Yu's face.

I wouldn't go that far. This is "never played the game before" footage, so naturally, the character with some easy, basic chains will do best. I'm disappointed by the lack of good Yosuke footage, but oh well. Considering how fast he is, I'm sure he'll have crazy stuff once people get some real hands-on time with him.

You can time it here. Looks like it takes around 10 in-game seconds.

I brought this up before and got shot down. However, my friend theorized that Marie is from the Velvet Room, which would mean that she actually is a possibility. New characters would be cool. I'd like a Hierophant user. EMERALD SPLASH!

Yep, I'm even MORE hype now. Some interesting stuff I saw in the mechanics translation. Quick Escape: A + C. "Moves to dodge attack." (Jojo's rolls? Yes please) Mini-jump: Down + A + C (hop?) (Nice) Air Turn: A + C in midair. You turn. IN THE AIR. (Wha? This I gotta see. I assume this means some sort of air dodge)

You underestimate the power of plot devices. It would be cool to see him in the game, whether or not he's the main antagonist.

The entire tournament is a marketing ploy. The last boss is Tanaka.

Yukiko's specialty in P4 was magic all the way, and she certainly wasn't pulling Anji or Hakuowlo crap with her fan. It'd be kinda silly if she WASN'T a zoner imo.

I'm guessing Chie's "kick" gauge is specific to a move. Exposed.

I don't know what has me more hype: Yu having Jojo's combos, or Yu having GRAND VIPER (with OM anyways). Also, the HD quality video confirms that the diamond over Chie's bar doesn't disappear after Yu does an OM. So I'm guessing that OM just takes meter.

... So you're saying I should call him Kuma?

At least four characters left to be announced. I could see Teddy and Naoto being in, then uh.... Adachi lets say. Then we would have one slot left over for Margaret maybe, unless they want to add more P3 characters.

http://www.andriasang.com/e/galleries/2011/09/08/persona_4_ultimate_screens/2132460403/ This must be the screen shot SoWL is talking about. I don't think that option is to change Persona, it is probably just to change the Persona's color. Not sure about "Navigation" though.

Ok, so MC has the same name as the anime: Narukami Yu. (Narukami means "to become a god." Subtle, I know.) However, they don't use the kanji for "kami as in god." Whatever, I'll just call the dude "Yu" I guess. Other note: Aegis screenshot still has "Free Pray," which makes me smile.
