Hurray! European duders can finally get their copy of Persona 4 Arena, and this friends list seems like a must since the NA activity seemed to have died.

So please provide: Console, Gamertag/PSN ID, Skill Level and Availability/Time Zone/Region (if possible). If you are from NA and still play, please feel free to add your name here as well but please indicate that you are from NA. Let's keep this game alive (if possible).

I got the game around 3 months ago so I couldn't really play online without getting my ass kicked, I'm really looking forward to getting to play with people that might not immediately destroy me.

Console: PS3

Should have this on Monday or Tuesday when it arrives via Amazon. I have little to no experience with fighters so I'm considering this my first proper foray into the genre. Here's hoping I don't get utterly destroyed.

PSN - (...) Never mind. I have the PS3 version, PM me if you want to play with me! And trust me if you will want to add me.

My copy is sent via Amazon and its not at my house yet, regardless I'm at University right now and will be back around the 19th. That'll probably be when I start playing it.

@chibithor: Your Yukiko is pretty good. Did you actually get this today?

@irrelevantjohn: I got it early on wednesday and I played a lot the last few days. Took me a bit to get the basics down and my WLR is still something like 5-40 but I think I'm on the right track.

has it really died off that much in the rest of the world? i remember hearing that this was the main anime fighter in tournaments

@lord_canti: There were still some people playing it, though I think most of them were Japanese, but everyone was way too good for any new players to jump in and not get destroyed.

Nah, at least on PSN, there really aren't that many Japanese players on (you can recognize them with forward slashes in their titles). Ranked matches aren't too active, but player matches are.

@sameoldstuff very kindly made a community tag for the Xbox a while ago under the name of "GB P4Arena", so suggest befriending that if duders want some 360 folks to play against.

Just played a few rounds with @mwng and @sameoldstuff before my internet had a brief seizure. Connection issues aside it was pretty fun, especially the Labrys/SLabrys back-to-back Brutal Impacts that ended up doing 0 damage.

As @mwng said in his post, there's a community tag at "GB P4Arena" if anyone would like a convenient method of messaging duders in game/saving friend list space.

I can also record/upload replays if given enough notice.

I kinda miss this game.

@make_me_mad: Did you get too good for me? I'm considering getting in on the European influx of people, but I'm gonna want some hot Kanji on Kanji action while trying to relearn Yosuke.

So I've played with maybe three people from this list so far and it's been great. I decided a while ago that since this is basically my first fighting game that I'd learn Akihiko first and foremost as it would force me to get in real close and learn other characters moves that way. With that said, trying to fight @chibithor when he was using Yukiko earlier today was like trying to beat a wall of fire with a snow cone. Going against @petiew pretty much cemented in my mind that playing Akihiko against a Naoto is some of the best fun you can have in this game at a low level. Even though I've won about two games out of the thirty or so I've played, it's still really entertaining to play, especially the first time you actually plan something in advance, lure the other player into it and successfully execute the moves in time.

Pretty sure I won't be making waves at Evo, though.

I would love to actually take some time to get deeper into this. Of course, I'm atrocious at fighting games because I haven't played a single one more than maybe five hours total in my life. So, free wins for anyone who fights me. :)

@mustachio: Yeah, when you're playing close matches the game is good fun! You should give Chie a try too, she's close range like Akihiko but she has a lot more tools to mess dudes up with! It's a shame hardly anyone picked this up in Europe though, even in the first few days this game was really quiet.

Does anyone play Elizabeth? I've got her garu loops and mind charge combos down, but I'm having trouble actually getting in and starting combos. Any tips?

I just got this on the 360, I live in The Netherlands so EU people, feel free to add me as the online is pretty dead and I want some fights!
