Persona 4 Arena Patched to v1.01, Corrects Yukiko Unblockable Glitch and Other General Issues

by iantothemax on September 28th, 2012 at 12:48 pm

Atlus USA recently posted a couple of vague messages regarding the v1.01 patch that hit Persona 4 Arena today on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. According to their official Facebook, the patch brought “an assortment of general, game balance, and network issues, in addition to a bug that was preventing some players from obtaining the ‘Network Mode Level 30′ trophy/achievement.”

It’s been confirmed that Yukiko’s Fire Break Agidyne unblockable glitch has been corrected, but anything past that is speculation at this point. According to James Xie, the setups used at The Runback last night were running on v1.01 without any noticeable differences. Combining this with the fact that major changes are usually released first in arcades before moving to consoles, it’s safe to assume nothing significant in regards to game balance has been touched.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated if official patch notes are released.

Wow ..
Gotta love the support they’re showing with this title by getting out patches quick and listening to concerns.
I didn’t even know about these glitches..

the game needs so much work and this is this is all they do?

  says who
  Just because you can’t bait dps doesnt mean it needs “so much work”.
  i dont really like the game, but i’m not gonna act like it needs giant fixes or something.

    Rogueyoshi can’t bait dp’s? LOL you have no idea who you’re talking to. and if you don’t really like the game then that leads me to believe that you don’t know much about the game and the inconvenient truth is that it really does need fixes, as much as I love this game.

      I was just guessing since most of the people who bitch about the game can’t deal with how easy DPs are and shit.
      
      And frankly, I don’t give a shit if I dont know who i’m talking to if they dont give any reasons, just like you didn’t. I played the game a shitload, learned a ton about every character”s pressure and neutral, and decided it wasn’t for me. I don’t see how not really liking a game means I dont know much about it.
      
      Just because some matchups are obnoxious does not mean there need to be major fixes. Even if it is a game that can make people rage, the cast is still more balanced than most recent charas, everybody is viable.

        You missed a really easy point that I shouldn’t have to go out of my way to explain. If it helps you sleep at night though, you’re absolutely correct about everything, have a nice day. I hope you’re enjoying Seasons Beatings.

        I think “balanced” is a bit generous.
        
        Mitsuru is ridiculous, along with a few other characters.
      - LordKnight
        
        Everyone in this game is good.
  - http://www.facebook.com/people/Nathan-Topousis/594164388 Nathan Topousis
    
    This game definitely needs more work. Specifically on character balance.
    - Arobadope
      
      I wish someone could be more specific because all I seem to see is people bitching rather than learning.
      - http://www.facebook.com/people/Nathan-Topousis/594164388 Nathan Topousis
        
        Not bitching, just saying it should be more balanced. I don’t think characters like Mitsuru should be as powerful as she is. I do know how to deal with her, for the most part, but it doesn’t change the fact that she has too many options.
      - fiks
        
        too many options? making mitsuru more boring isnt the answer; make others have better risk-reward/have more options
      - Arobadope
        
        I agree mitsu does have a bit too much damage for the style she has, but if that’s the only complaint you have then dear God games like Street Fighter and Marvel are terribly unbalanced.
      - http://twitter.com/HooliganCombo James Reilly
        
        You don’t need to nerf Mitsuru, just buff her easy match ups if changing anything
      - Arobadope
        
        @twitter-545706131:disqus I just want to make it clear I am not suggesting mitsu needs any hitbox nerfs and what not, just a small damage nerf.
      - http://handsomefatman.com/ Carlos Alexandre
        
        Specifics. Show me that too many matchups are in her favor, and that lots of characters face unreasonable uphill battles.
      - Arobadope
        
        @handsomefatman:disqus lol. Please, do not go there.
      - d3v
        
        Or maybe the rest of the world should just get over Mitsuru like Japan has.
      - Arobadope
        
        @d3v:disqus you believe Japan has stopped complaining about Mitsu?

      Characters are balanced. You probably just suck at playing.

      Just because some matchups are obnoxious does not mean there need to
      be major fixes. Even if it is a game that can make people rage, the
      cast is still more balanced than most recent charas, everybody is
      viable.
      
      Would more work be nice? Yes. Is it really needed? Compared to most games, no.
      - http://www.facebook.com/people/Nathan-Topousis/594164388 Nathan Topousis
        
        The fact that there’s obnoxious matchups is why there needs to be major fixes. I’m not “raging”, I was just pointing out that it needs to be more balanced.
      - http://twitter.com/Mightfo Mightfo
        
        Note that a matchup being “obnoxious” is not the same as being unfair. It just requires you to play differently and deal with annoying, strong tools. This is the case in virtually every game with strong character diversity.
        I agree that some nerfs would be nice, but i don’t think it is a big deal compared to most fighters.
      - d3v
        
        Too many people forget that “obnoxious” matchups where people have to play the matchup differently are part of what makes the 2D genre unique.

    Your comprehension and interpretation skills are amazing.
    
    PS: Game needs fixes.
    - Arobadope
      
      What fixes does it need?
      - http://www.facebook.com/people/Yan-Zhao/10516382 Yan Zhao
        
        Various hitbox issues and character specific glitches. Kanji’s reversal glitch.
        
        Minor but still welcomed.
        
        Some character rebalance would be nice too.
      - http://twitter.com/Mightfo Mightfo
        
        Those fixes would be nice but are insignificant and hardly necessary enough to warrant “omg this is all they fix waaahh game is so messed up”
        The game really doesn’t need much work compare to most fighters. I’m obviously someone who doesn’t think the game is “perfect”(unlike say, cvs2 and 3s fans) but acting like the game is majorly flawed is silly.
      - Arobadope
        
        What hitbox issues and character specific glitches? the Kanji glitch was dealt with in this patch I believe.

        I dont recall saying this game has major flaws nor “bitching”. I’m simply stating a factual statement that the game needs fixes, no matter how minor it is, in accordance to rogueyoshi’s post because you felt like calling him out by pulling shit out of your ass by assuming he cant deal with DPs.
    - fiks
      
      aren’t you that guy who said tokido was silly to drop p4a for gg because it isn’t out yet when it came out in arcades before the interview
      your fact checking is amazing
      - http://www.facebook.com/people/Yan-Zhao/10516382 Yan Zhao
        
        Nope, I’m the guy who said the Japanese players who are dropping P4U for GG and BB are silly because BB3 isnt out yet.
        
        Congratulations on proving to me that you’re an idiot.
      - fiks
        
        “new” GG (same game that existed for a ages)”
        
        wrong. GGAC+R is a new version that has significant changes. Kliff and justice as rebalanced to be tourney legit, lots of normals have been changed in terms of speed etc, testament and ky at least got new command normals, there are new frcs and new specials, tons of specials got changed, there’s new EX moves, robo-ky’s heat gain has changed, the list goes on.
        Don’t believe me? Go to GG chara forums on dustloop and check the changelists. Go watch videos of GGAC+R, which are in the GG video thread on dustloop. GGAC+R has a shitload of changes just like BBCP. You dont know shit.
        
        Next time, check the facts so that you know what you’re talking about.
      - fiks
        
        by the way, you might wanna tell your fanbase of the same 6 people who like your comments every time(zonder88 and 5 guests) that you can’t check basic facts before telling a bunch of japanese players they’re silly

    They need to work on nerfing the rest of the cast & buffing his favorite character.

Aside from people complaining about one or two supposedly S-tier characters, what issues does this game have? I’ve been having a blast learning and playing since about 2 weeks post-launch.
- Jotamide
  
  Only issue is that more people should be playing it.
http://www.facebook.com/JacopeX Jacope Jesfen

Why do articles about patches, balances, and renditions attract bitching from idiots who can’t just play a game they actually went out of their way to purchase? -_-

Similar minds.
- http://www.facebook.com/people/Yan-Zhao/10516382 Yan Zhao
  
  Stating a factual statement that the game isn’t perfect and needs more work isn’t the definition of bitching, illiterate one.
  - http://twitter.com/Mightfo Mightfo
    
    Yes, and stating that a game “needs so much work” and complaining as if the fixing is inattentive is an overstatement of how many problems the game actually has. Rogueyoshi did not merely say “Some more fixes would be nice and the game isn’t perfect.” It was whining.
    - Zonder88
      
      You know the only person who even remotely come close to be considered bitching was rogueyoshi, who probably wasnt since I know he plays the game extensively and knows what he’s talking about for the most part. He’s pretty well known for finding various exploits and glitches in fighting games.
      
      Every other person who responded hardly had the tone you claimed. I dont exactly agree that the game needs LOTS of fixes but grouping them all as whiners is retarded.

Anyone who is saying anything about persona and imba characters is really just not taking the time to learn the game. We all get pretty mad at Mitsuru trust me on that, but I can easily zone and bait Mitsuru’s and I’m a Shabrys player. Trust me nothing is more frustrating than facing Yosuke, Mitsuru, and Yu as a Shabrys player. GL getting any set ups with them just poking away your persona every time you press a button, but it is possible to just defend and bait.
I’m guessing the complainers are having the issue I had at first. The rush down in P4A is amazing and most characters have some seriously annoying in your face move. Don’t let this sway you into just rushing down opponents all game, because Mitsuru especially will just sit there and bait you all day. L2P and stop complaining about a title that for once was released almost perfect. Every game has glitches but for god sakes stop bitching. This isn’t Crapcom who will be releasing SP4A and SP4A AE 2014 and milk us for another $80 ontop of the original $60. The game is coming along very nicely please go complain on Atlus’ website about your issues and stop trolling the message boards.

  I like Arc System works and everything but you clearly didn’t think it through when you said “This isn’t Crapcom who will be releasing SP4A and SP4A AE 2014 and milk us for another $80 ontop of the original $60.” considering Arc have released no less than 8 different revisions of Guilty Gear X not counting spin-offs as full priced games & announce a new version of BlazBlue when the current version has barely left the shelves, they also see fit to charge extortionate prices for palette swaps & announcer voices.

    I may not know all the FG’s SEGA has released, but Final Showdown is $15 dollars without the costumes…and even with the costumes the game is $45. You’re not paying $30 for costumes. You’re paying a discount for a game with slightly less “unimportant” features.

the game is for weeaboos why is this on srk front page
- BurstZX
  
  People who call sht weeaboo are scrubs, just sayin. Only reason why street fighter isnt “weeaboo” is because they changed it to a 3d 2d fighter.

Out of all the fighters I’ve played in the last couple of years, P4U is definitely one of the most balanced games at it’s first release (and I’m talking arcades). Sure, there are small problems here and there…but what game in general doesn’t have at least a few problems (even if they’re minor)? To say this game needs major fixes is an exaggeration when you compare it to literally any other fighter besides KOF and maybe TTT2 (haven’t played so dunno). If I can fight a competent Mitsuru or Aigis with Yu and Liz without complaining, you should be able to do the same.
- Arobadope
  
  Just want to say Yu is really good and can handle everyone in the game well, Liz I commend you sir.
  - http://profile.yahoo.com/A5OB26A6HLMI7PEVMLIAH2P4SI Omnix
    
    I didn’t want to make it seem like I only played Liz (she’s my sub), so I threw my main in there as well, haha.
    - Arobadope
      
      Nah, it’s cool and at least you are honest, but Yu is generally regarded, and has been generally regarded since Arcade only days, as one of the best in the game. Honestly, every character has their strengths in every match-up that they just have to play to, people just need to learn to do that. Otherwise characters like Yosuke/teddie/kanji would be shit all day every day.
  - http://www.facebook.com/illness690 John Taylor
    
    This may sound scrubby. But I have a general hatred for Yu.

shoutouts to all the morons saying “a patch already? rip p4″
Jeremey Arnold

I didn’t know it was a glitch, I just thought that the last hit of a fully charged C Agidyne from Yukiko was unblockable… I didn’t know it was a glitch. But really, that’s the glitch they choose to fix? Yukiko is already the least played character in this game and they’re like “That’s too good…” Eh… I’m just complaining now but I still love this game.

  I believe it’s because it’s not in the arcade version.

Has anyone else had issues with getting persona to recognize 2 TE’s in versus mode post patch? Tested the sticks, ports, and tested with other games and everything worked. When I loaded the p4u w/o the post patch save file everything worked fine. Might be something that needs to get looked into…
