In addition to the core cast, you can now play as Shadow versions of each of the characters, with the exception of Sho and Elizabeth (although I'd like to imagine a Shadow version of Elizabeth would be especially terrifying).

This means you won't always get your choice of fighter in the story mode, but you'll be happier to know that it doesn't take thirty plus hours to see everything that the game has to offer this time around. The story mode this time around is a lot leaner, meaning it doesn't require a ridiculous number of playthroughs, in fact it's all pretty straightforward now and doesn't cause a sort of dissonance between who is experiencing what in the story.

But he and his Persona Tsukiyomi are a danger to everyone involved in trying to find out who kidnapped Labrys and set up the P1 Climax in the first place. I actually named two different characters there, what that means, well, you'll need to dig through the story mode to figure that one out. Lastly is the new character in the game, Sho, Sho Minazuki.

She's a pro with a bow and uses her Persona, Isis to set up combos that bounce the enemy around. Yukari Takeba is a visual standout with her sentai super hero inspired wardrobe choice. His Persona Trismegistus serves up some pitches too when used for super moves. Junpei Iori is another special case, since he wields a bat, he becomes stronger with the more runs he gets, which increases every time he connects with an attack. Ken Amada and Koromaru are an interesting team, since they only use their Persona for special moves, you'll be using the A and B button for Ken's attacks, and supplementing them with Koromaru's C and D buttons. The Persona 3 cast receives three additional characters to round out the Shadow Operatives.

Her move set is as full of energy as you'd expect from an idol, making use of a mic stand to give her a bit of range to go with Himiko's zoning attacks. The six new fighters include Rise Kujikawa, who's gone from ring announcer to capable fighter with her persona Himiko. It's received a modest six new additional characters, and while that is nothing to scoff at, there's also the inclusion of Shadow versions of almost everyone in the cast. But for now, it's been a terribly frustrating experience to see other players go at it, and to get stonewalled by a 'Failed to connect' message at every turn.īut let's get to what makes this game a strong contender for best fighting game this year, mainly the expansive amount of content that the game has received. Hopefully this will be an improved experience once more players get online next Tuesday. Enlisting in ranked matches was met with the same experience, I have left this game on for hours with no luck in playing a ranked match. With a direct connection to my cable modem I was unable to play online with other people. In the two weeks I've had this game for review, I have not been able to successfully connect to a single player. This all sounds well and good, but in practice the lobby system has been frustrating from the moment I started using it. Or if you want to be a little bit more social there's the new lobby system that will let you join up to thirty one other players as you take turns sitting down at arcade cabinets in a spiffy looking lobby. The new ranked system doesn't require you to sit mindlessly in a waiting screen, you can do other single player activities while you 'enlist' and queue up for a ranked match. So when it comes to Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, there's initially a lot of things for me to be excited about. Since I'm more of an online warrior than I'd like to be thanks to my hectic work schedule, I typically can only play against online opponents, or topped out computer opponents that eventually become a bit of a bore to fight. Now if only the damn online system would work. Now with Ultimax, the experience is leaner, faster, and still manages to pull off a good yarn in this crossover universe. So it's of little surprise that I'm in love with Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, even more so than it's 2012 predecessor, which I spent countless hours engrossed in, hoping to learn the origins of Labrys and General Teddie. But no, I love it, the universe, the characters, the story, it's all a great deal of fun for me. You'd think I'd be tired of all the Persona business I expose myself to these days, what with Persona 4 Golden the Animation currently airing, Persona 4 Golden in my Vita, the upcoming Persona Q on the 3DS, along with Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, which will be dropping this Tuesday and I'll be talking about today.
