Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

Shadow Yu confirmed to only max the Justice Social Link (and keeps hanging out with Nanako after it's maxed)

I'm really liking the theme that starts up at 0:30 in Adachi's trailer hope that's a battle theme
 
"Hero" (narukami) does this mean hero (P3) is possible
 
Someone mentioned the end of the Answer and how what transpired there could bring him back (I have yet to finish it actually but I'm working on it now and will give you my thoughts on that soon). That and Elizabeth are his only hope.

But for now

Noticing that every other character has a bit of their Shadow selves at the end of their trailer, it's interesting how Shadow Adachi doesn't pop up
Maybe it's because he's balls out anyway and doesn't need a Shadow to remind him of his faults cause he says it with his chest
We don't shit about this character.

This might A:Not actually be Adachi and an imposter (I hope to god it's not.)
B:Malevolent entity doing it's thing.
C:Adachi might have completely mastered his Shadow, Adachi is not an inherently bad person, just a bored jackass with sociopath-ic characteristics.
If Adachi completely accepts his own shadow, he won't be there.
Adachis is officially the oldest Persona user we've ever seen, besides maybe Jesus guy from P3.
If Adachi is a man who knows what he is for the rest of his life, and accepts himself with no quarter, I can see him losing his shadow, or never even properly developing. The other characters are still teenagers/young 20 somethings, so their insecurities popping back up and manifesting shadows is perfectly plausible, especially for characters with more serious issues such as Rise and Kanji.

In less serious news.
YEESSSS THEY BOY IS FINALLY IN THE GAME AND NEW WORLD FOOL IS GODLIKE AND THAT INSTANT KILL WAS SICK.

@Clawsome Bombs That picture depressed me more than I would like to admit..................

OH WELL PERSONA Q
 
I like how Adachi points and laughs after tripping the opponent

Obviously Arc Systems used Terumi to perfect their character trolling technology.

I meant to play as Adachi in P4A2 but yeah.
God damn.
I'm also gonna have to rush to get Golden when I get a PS Vita so I can be buddies with him.
Not that bad ending though.
Fuck that noise.
 
I have a feeling that there's no Shadow Adachi either ME didn't think of making a Shadow Adachi, he deliberately didn't make one because his goal is to slow the IT and Shadow Ops and Adachi does that well normally, or simply because gameplay reasons.
 
That seems to be his IK-exclusive winpose. A couple of other characters also have one.
 
shadow adachi is probably a nice dude
because what if adachi
surpresses his good side :OOOOOOOOOOO

Nah. His good side is how everybody (except Yu during his SLink) sees him before the big reveal.
 
It appears Yu's Supers have become normals for Adachi
 
Adachi never had a traditional shadow that was a separate entity in the rpg. He never denied his chaotic inner-self and instead embraced it to became more like a hybrid being temporarily. Which explains why he could use a persona while still displaying shadow type symptoms (yellow eyes, distorted voice, etc). He pretty much falls into the "no shadow mode because plot reasons" category.

You mean specials? Also, I wonder what that Magatsu airgrab does.
 
So...he's Akuma?
 
I'm not really getting an Akuma vibe from him. Still no known DP for Adachi. Makes me think more of a mix of Junpei, Liz, and Yu.
 
By dp do you mean, a dragon punch like move or a two button move that every character has, because I think the the kick that launches them to the other side of the screen might be his furious action.
 
Oh my God Adachi.

I knew this gif would be made soon

Now that I can look at it repeatedly, yeah this is definitely a throw

You can tell by the counter hit flash and the fact that, like most throws, the person being thrown is stuck in their blocking animation for a few seconds before the move actually happens

Edit: Wait no I'm super wrong
Techable throws have the exclamation mark above the opponent's head to let them know that they can tech so this is not his regular throw

Maybe it's a command throw or something

Edit 2 The Ultimax Ultra Suplex Post: Now that I think about it, do all throws work like Elizabeth's Furious Action where if it's a Counter Hit you can't tech it(therefore, the exclamation mark doesn't show)? If so, this could very well be his regular throw. Hm.....

I was referring to Number 13's post in that he doesn't have a Shadow because he, in a way, embraces his chaotic inner-self.

Throws are unbreakable if they are counterhits.

Gotcha. Okay so it's possibly a regular or command throw. From the little we've seen, he doesn't look like the kind to have a command grab, but hey Yu has one this time around so who knows
 
Awwww, I wanted my idea of him throwing someone into a TV and then be thrown back out by Shadows... MY IDEAS ARE BETTER THAN YOURS ASW.
 
That's some low damage for a normal throw. Maybe it has other properties.

Also, don't worry. Your into the TV shenanigans live on in his IK.

maybe adachi will have an OTG he can follow up with the grab.
 
I am not really sure but was the super with adachi image on the screen one of the normal supers or part of his insta kill, I am not entirely sure on that one, although there wasn't a great deal of stuff shown in adachi's trailer game play wise.
 
It's possible without a hard-coded followup, but it would require OMC or OMB.

@Cybermanworf Probably one of his supers, since his IK is practically shown in its entirety before the announcer callout.

Thanks for the response there @shoryusatsu999

Does any think Adachi will have anything like Naoto with the use of their weapons ?

From the trailer I can't see any form of Bullet counter, so probably not to the same extent as what Naoto has but maybe something like it.
 
hey guys the trailer was subbed, Adachi just wants to talk about murders, (i think this is the same guy that subbed Ken's)
 
It isn't. The normal guy is bobrossfreak, and the gag subber for Ken's is FluxWaveZ.

Yeah I felt like the Ken mock sub was funnier. This one overplayed the memes too much to get a genuine laugh from me.
 
Wasn't the only big meme involving Ken his shorts?
 
and the fact that he was a loser in terms of popularity.
