Akihiko's answer to being mugged by a guy with a gun and a guy with a knife was to kung-fu them while waxing poetic about not being able to find worthy opponents.

KamikazePotato 06/04/17 1:55:07 PM #350 | Akihiko uses his own physical strength instead of a Persona because it's what he does. He trains and he moves fast and he likes punching things. He still loses to Yu, because a Persona means a lot more. Mages aren't inherently stronger than physical fighters but Personas aren't magic, and they in fact are inherently stronger than people in general, by a lot Guns don't wreck harmonizer users in Devil Survivor, you fight people with guns and win Beating Kefka is a gargantuan 16-man affair, and Nyx is stronger than Kefka regardless Ryu's status in mercs topics these days is stupid, he's gone from one of the more underrated mercs to being one of the most overrated --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

KamikazePotato 06/04/17 1:48:28 PM #347 | Ryu would break his fist on a Persona. They're extremely far above anything he has or ever will deal with. Mitsuru MAYBE trains some but the vast majority of her time is spent on strategy and being a leader. She's just insanely talented at everything. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

KamikazePotato 06/04/17 1:30:05 PM #343 | 'Akihiko prizes his own physical strength' -> 'Akihiko's Persona doesn't add much to him' is a huge logical leap. Akihiko likes training his body because it means a lot to him on a personal level, not because his Persona doesn't matter anymore. Having a Persona is a HUGE deal and effectively makes the user's physical prowess matter a lot less. Almost everyone in the Persona series is completely untrained before getting a Persona, but upon getting a Persona they become capable of great things. Case in point: Mitsuru is likely stronger than him and she doesn't train at all. One of the strongest party members in P4 is Yosuke, and he works at a supermarket. Personas are mental projections. Without a Persona, Akihiko is more or less a B-tier Street Fighter. With a Persona he can fight the physical embodiment of death. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

KamikazePotato 06/04/17 1:03:11 PM #340 | Akihiko would easily beat Ryu unless you think he's enough of a meathead to ignore his Persona so they can have an HONORABLE DUEL. Personas are strong. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

KamikazePotato 06/04/17 10:41:07 AM #324 | Personas are not magic. 'Silence' is the universal RPG lingo for not being able to use skills. It has nothing to do all the lore explicitly stating that Personas are spiritual. Dumb argument. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

KamikazePotato 06/04/17 12:25:41 AM #250 | DeathChicken posted... Everyone stomps poor Kanji, at least in Arena. He's nearly everyone's first boss Which is really weird as he solos a biker gang before even getting a Persona. He got worf'd in the fighting games badly. Also, I would say what people's Ultimax comments on Akihiko were but basically all anyone comments on is his lack of a shirt. Same with Yukari and her superhero outfit. Teddie and Marie are just considered weird. People respect Chie but she isn't in the upper tier. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

KamikazePotato 06/04/17 12:23:51 AM #248 | DoomTheGyarados posted... I like how Joker is the very definition of a legit 5 upkeep merc in P5 but people always actin' like they be scrubs. With all that said, I think that's overselling things somewhat. The Phantom Thieves are awful thieves that get forced into fights constantly, but they still try to focus more on stealth and sneaking around than combat. The P3 group is specifically a shadow extermination group with more experience so I still put them a cut above. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

KamikazePotato 06/04/17 12:10:44 AM #243 | DeathChicken posted... Story mode in Arena is a little odd since...well, it's obviously Yu's chapter so he's going to beat everyone, but the dialogue tends to reflect how the fight probably went in 'canon', like Yu commenting on Chie beating him silly. And everyone insulting poor Yukiko Funny thing about that - I checked some of the end fight quotes in Ultimax recently, and everyone in there is terrified of Yukiko, about as much as they're scared of someone like Mitsuru. Even in victory people go "OH MY GOD SHE BURNED EVERYTHING" Some other tidbits from that: -Yosuke's foot-in-mouth syndrome makes a lot of people shittalk him, but on the rare moments they comment on his strength they talk about how strong he is, Elizabeth in particular mentions that -Everyone is impressed like crazy with Yu -People are terrified of Mitsuru -Of course, people are terrified of the Velvet Room chicks even more -Junpei is by far the most shit on, all people talk about is how telegraphed and wonky his attacks are --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

KamikazePotato 06/04/17 12:07:50 AM #240 | DeathChicken posted... That's doubly hilarious since Yosuke is Yu's first fight in Arena and after losing Yosuke says something like "Jesus dude try holding back, you almost killed me" The manga presents Yosuke in an extremely good light actually - basically he's really strong but his personality deficits hold him back. He nearly one-shots Chie and Yukiko when he finally works up the motivation to fight him. Yu is a close match, and he has an assist because Yu took a bad hit from Akihiko in their fight, but yeah he wins that too. In the final fight against Shadow Labrys, he sucks in the beginning because of his self-doubt but once his friends cheer him up he fights almost on par with Aigis in their joint effort to defeat Labrys. Also, some of the other results that happened there: Aigis > Kanji Mitsuru > Naoto Yu > Akihiko was also a nailbiter. So yeah, in general I think P3 is supposed to be stronger. They have more experience and were in harsher conditions. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

KamikazePotato 06/03/17 11:59:49 PM #229 | DeathChicken posted... If I recall Arena's story correctly Yu actually loses to Labrys, then Aigis kicks her ass to save him. He's pretty much made out to be a step below P3 Guy in combat (actually all of the P3 folks are implied to be a step above the P4 bunch just due to experience) This is mostly irrelevant to the topic at hand, BUT in the official manga adaptation of Persona 4 Arena, Yu beats Akihiko, but then loses to Yosuke. In fact, Yosuke more or less solos the Persona 4 cast, he and Aigis are the ones left standing at the end Yosuke for Mercs --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

KamikazePotato 06/03/17 2:34:27 AM #89 | 10/10 segment of scenes. Actually the story in general has been 10/10 ever since 1. Phi you the best 2. Was I supposed to understand everything about 3. This entire game bets everything on executing Velvet's character well, and somehow that bet paid off. Props to the voice actress too. 4. I didn't know this was a prequel to Zestiria - also never played Zestiria, which explains why I sometimes feel like the game is talking about something I should already know about. 5. The piano song that plays in dramatic scenes is nice. 6. 7. I'm not entirely sold on 8. Arthur backstory scenes were good. Was internally hoping I got to see more before the story started to wrap up and there it is! 9. RIP 10. Phi you the best. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
