Persona Overload!

Sweet, I already wanted to main Akihiko, this helps cement my decision. Shame there was no music though.

Possible hints a North America Localization of the fighting game:

^lol. I love Atlus. It's obvious they think of the fans, but they also think of the weirdest ways to announce new games.

The only thing I don't like is how their newsletter emails are just a bunch of random links that you have to dig through to find the actually newsletter.

Confirmed to be coming out in North America this summer.

Apparently, each character has some sort of instant kill move, and some of them, (Akihiko's and Teddie's in particular) look absolutely silly.

That's awesome! Teddie's is especially awesome haha! I wonder what the conditions are for execution. It looks like just a full super bar, I guess? I wonder if it is avoidable or blockable at all. This game looks great though and I'm happy that they are localizing it; I never really got that much into BlazBlue, but this looks like something I could sink my teeth into.

Bear I'm guessing that much like Guilty Gear some are blockable, some unblockable, some super close range and some far (like Kanji's looks like a throw). In GG you activate it by pressing 4 buttons at once (for any character) then inputting whatever their unique move was, you could also only activate once per round and if you missed it you're...I was about to say "sol" but then as I was talking about Guilty Gear I though of Sol Badguy and was like "heh..."

In any case it also looks like you need a full super in this but I wonder if it needs a special activate or only once per round etc...course getting a full bar twice in one round usually isn't that easy anyway.

I've still never played a Persona game. I keep looking at them and keep meaning to give one a shot, just haven't got around to it. Arc System Works making this game definately puts it on my spectrum though. Spent weeks playing guilty gear when I first got it. Didn't play blazblue as much, but it still had that smooth 2D fightery goodnees Arc is great at. Still, the footage looks and awesome and I'll certainly have to check this out.

What is a fighting game without a ridiculously overpowered unfair boss?
