Is this the weirdest bug? P4U2 is now Play4U2

A Japanese player reported that a weird bug is found in the arcade version of P4U2 (Persona 4 The Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold) after the latest update which arrived today (version 2.0).

The bug caused the CPU to take control of the player's character after the victim tried to challenge someone. A hundred yen was lost in the process.

In other news, Arc System Works already issued a statement regarding a known bug from today's update which prevents PSR from working properly when using new characters (Rise, Amada, Adachi, Marie, Margaret).

P4U stage play announced

Persona 4 The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena stage play is announced in Japan. You read that right, this's not just a stage play of Persona 4, but the fighting game P4U1.

How does that work? We don't know. Air-dash and push button and expect opponent not to block seems easy in the game, but not a stage play. Surely, they need a lot of wires.

P4U stage play will be held between December 19-23 at Tokyo Geijutsu Gekijou Play House theater.

Note that there's already Persona 3 stage play and Persona 4 stage play.
