The game uses an 8-directional joystick, common to most fighting games, and 4 attack buttons: Light (A), Middle (B), Heavy (C), and Drive (D), the latter of which activates unique special abilities for each character. Throw and Throw Escape are performed by pressing B and C at the same time. In addition to basic dashing and jumping, there are also double jumps, high jumps and air dashes.
Guard Libra: When guarding or forcing your opponent to guard, this gauge will shift. When it fills up completely to one side, the guarding player will undergo a Barrier Crush and will be stunned temporarily.
Barrier Gauge: A gauge that regenerates over time, used for Barrier Guard. The defense capability of a character is lowered for a set period of time when this gauge reaches zero.
Barrier Guard: Pushes back the opponent and prevents the Guard Libra from shifting. Performed by pressing A and B at the same time while guarding.
Barrier Burst: Pushes the opponent away, even when guarding or receiving damage, thus canceling the enemy's combo in the latter case. If used offensively and guarded by the opponent, they will undergo a Barrier Crush. Uses 100% of the Barrier Gauge and leaves it to zero for the remainder of the round. Performed by pressing all four buttons at the same time.
Heat Gauge: An energy gauge needed to perform Distortion Drives and Rapid Cancels.
Counter Assault: Counters an opponent's attack while guarding. Consumes 50% of the Heat Gauge. Performed by pressing forward, A and B at the same time while guarding.
Rapid Cancel: Cancels the recovery time of an attack. Consumes 50% of the Heat Gauge. Performed by pressing A, B and C at the same time while attacking.
Distortion Drive: Special attacks unique to each character. Consumes 50% of the Heat Gauge. Performed with some arrow motions plus the Drive button.
Astral Heat: Special attacks unique to each character. Consumes 100% of the Heat Gauge. The conditions for using Astral Heats are simple: the player has to be fighting in the last round of each match, and his/her opponent has to have 20% of their health left. The player can then input the buttons needed for the Astral Heat. Astral Heats can be considered similar to Guilty Gear's Instant Kills.

In Stock 11/03/2009 - Persona 3 Portable (Import PSP) - $59.99

Our Price: $59.99
Release Date: 11/1/09
UPC: 4984995900469
Genre: RPG
Company: Atlus
Version: Japan - ULJM-05489

Persona 3 Portable, an enhanced port of Persona 3 to the PlayStation Portable, has been announced by Atlus for release in Japan on November 1, 2009; a Western release of the game has not yet been announced. The announcement in Famitsu revealed that the player will be able to select a female protagonist as their playable character as an alternative to the male character from the original game. This selection will alter some aspects of the story; the first Persona gained by the Protagonist, Orpheus, will be female, and the character Elizabeth, who resides in the Velvet Room, will be replaced with a male equivalent. The gender choice is also expected to alter some aspects of the Social Links. In addition to the new playable character, there will be five difficulty levels to select from. The game will retell only the original game's story ("The Journey" from Persona 3: FES), however, there will be some slight changes made in the original story events even if the male protagonist character is selected.

Features

Changes to the game include having the ability to directly control characters other than the Protagonist in battle.
Also, the art for the environments has been redone, and is now pre-rendered along with the character “models” in most scenes outside of Tartarus appearing to be sprites. The player will no longer be able to navigate the overworld in control of your character.
Instead, the player will be guiding a cursor around and “exploration” will be more menu-based. In scenes where the protagonist is walking to school and interacting with people in class or during certain Social Link segments, the player will only see portraits, not the actual character sprites with animations.
New battle costumes have been added to the portable version, along with a “Guard” command during battles. There’s new music included, though not all the original soundtrack has been included in the game.
