Game system guide & move list:

Von einem Kumpel grob übersetzt:

Four buttons, layed out in a square:
AC
BD

A - Weak attack
B - Strong attack
C - Persona attack
D - Persona Rush

Lifebar, you get the idea.
SP gauge, used for EX attacks and supers.
The gauge below your lifebar is the Persona gauge. If you drain it, you enter PERSONA BREAK and you can't use your Persona or burst.

S ATTACK: Mash the A button for easy combos! Something about being able to cancel it for 50 meter into a big flashy finisher.
BURST: ACD. Gold bursts are available. Something called "One More Burst," "the moment you hit, you can really beat the fuck out of your foe"
R Action: B+D. An invincible move. Drains from the HP gauge briefly; will recover over a short time.
Beatdown Rush: pound AB after hit, then C or D. Pound AB for an overhead attack, then hit C or D for a followup. C is a launcher, D knocks opponent to the side (wallrush?)
Awakening: Activates at low life. Increases defense, Awakening moves become available (SDMs?) SP gauge max goes up to 150SP, and you gain 50SP for free.

Persona Break: When your Persona's out, damage to it or you decreases the Persona gauge. (Jojo's?)

Other misc functions:
P Combo: Gatling strings (A->B->C).
Sweep: Down + A + B
Quick Escape: A + C. "Moves to dodge attack."
Mini-jump: Down + A + C (hop?)
Air Turn: A + C in midair. You turn. IN THE AIR.
Throw: C + D. Unblockable (duh) and can be done in the air. Break with C+D.
Ukemi: Push a button while falling/hitting the ground.
Guard Cancel Attack: Forward + A + B while guarding. Costs 50SP. Has some invincible frames.
One More! Cancel: A+B+C. 50SP. Roman cancel.
Super Cancel: "Buffer certain supers during a special move: cancel into super, costs HP"

Noch ein paar News (in japsisch) und ein paar kurze Videos:

Wieder bissl Footage:
Yukiko vs Yu:


Chie vs Yu:



Im 4Gamer Interview mit Mori, hat er erwähnt, dass noch "Big reveals" kommen, die sogar ihn selbst überrascht haben. Vielleicht kriegen wir sogar original Chars. 10 Euro, dass der neue P4 Character aus der Vita Fassung (Marie) es in irgendeiner Form ins Spiel schafft.

Ah ja, und:

- Beatdown Attack
Has super armor
Hard to punish on block, {IB -> 5A} works best

- Awakening
Doesnt activate while being combo'ed, you can die before it kicks in. The bonus defense also wont apply.

- Counter Hit
Increases damage and untechable time.

- Fatal Counter
Like Blazblue, increases untechable time +2F

- Instant Block
Like BB/GG

- Air Turn
Odd usage, like Chie's Reverse TK Dragon Kick to run away

- Negative Status
Some moves causes these:
Poison: like Bang's, lose HP over time
Shock/Paralyze: cant move
Confuse: Reversed back/forward walking


Chie vs Yukiko:

Die weiteren Parts poste ich, sobald upgeloaded.

Infos über die Movelists (zum Teil):

Yu Narukami (an all-rounder who can fight at any distance)
After pressing D while using a standing D attack, or doing a jumping D, he'll be able to fight independently of his Persona.
電光石火 (aka Swift Strike) can be used to counter attacks.
EX Zio puts the enemy into shocked status, and prevents him from moving.

Chie (shines at close-range rushdown)
暴れまくり (aka Rampage) cancels into 脳天落とし (aka Skull Cracker), which breaks guard. (I might be misinterpreting this)
Power Charge is a super, and buffs her damage (can stack up to 3 times)
Agneyastra is her ultimate attack, and if guarded brings you very close to the enemy. (Yeah I'm definitely misinterpreting this lol)

Yousuke (speediest in the game!)
In the air he can cancel any of his specials into another special. He can cast Tentarafoo, which is unblockable and causes panic status. While in panic status the enemy's left/right controls are reversed. After casting Sukukaja (his ultimate) his dashes are considered attacks (might be misinterpreting that last part).

Yukiko (her fans allow her to pressure the enemy from long range)
Dia restores her health as you hold down the button.
Fire Boost increases the damage of fire attacks and is stackable.
Fire Break makes your next fire attack unblockable.

Kanji (gets in close and uses grappling moves)
His normal grab and 串刺しだぁ！ (aka Skewer) command grab have extra range. 耐えてみやがれ！ can grab enemies unless they're crouching. As the enemy takes damage from his D attacks, they get closer to getting put in shocked status which prevents them from moving.

So, endlich upgeloadet. Wohl letzte Footage von der TGS, 40Min:

Spoiler für diejenigen, die Persona 4 noch spielen wollen (Char reveals):
