"What beautifully flowing combos...! That was amazing!"
—Morgana, Persona 5
Power Intuition is a Retro Game item.
Effect[]
Power Intuition can be played during the protagonist's daily life. The full game is split in 3 chapters, with each requiring a single session to be completed; if a chapter isn't completed, it'll have to be done from the beginning.
The game is combo-based, similarly to Punch Ouch, which demands the user performs a specific combination of inputs in order within a time limit, but adds the additional factor of resetting input should none be added within an extremely short window of time (roughly 0.25 seconds), requiring one to act fast to fill any remaining combos, akin to performing inputs in fighting games. If one's reflexes are not fast enough to keep up with the stringent time limit, reading Game Secrets will unlock a cheat that allows one to get around it in a reasonable amount of time by doubling the duration.
- The first session requires ↓↘→X to be performed within 3 seconds.
- The second session adds a second combo: ↓↘→X and ↓↙←X. The timer for both is increased at 5 seconds.
- The third session adds one more combo: →↘↓↙←→X. All need to be done in 8 seconds each.
- Cheats double the duration time for each combo.
For this particular game, Morgana standing up telegraphs that after the dialogue is moved forward, a combo will have to be performed. This is no longer used in the third session, as Morgana only stands up the first time.
For each completed session of Power Intuition, the protagonist will receive 2 notes of Guts, but only 1 if he fails. Upon completing the entire game, he will also receive a Fighting Card, a redeemable item.

Transcript[]
First Session[]
| Context | Quote | |
|---|---|---|
| First play | Second play onward | |
| Morgana | So, your first opponent is a kung fu master... Their attacks are apparently pretty ruthless. You're both running low on health... You could probably win if you land a special move! Hey, the enemy's stunned! Go for a special! |
This is that kung fu guy again. His attacks are as tough as always... Hey, you stunned him! Use your special attack! |
| The ↓↘→X combination must be inputted in this order within 3 seconds. If there's no input within roughly 0.25 seconds, the entire combo will reset. (Cheats increase time limit to 6 seconds.) | ||
| Morgana (success) | All right, it's over! You win! | |
| Morgana (failure) | Wah, why did you jump!? The enemy's going to hit you! You couldn't get your special attack to activate... I bet you would have been able to win if you had. | |
| Morgana (post-victory) | Great, you beat the level! You're amazing! It really was incredible watching you go up against such a tough opponent...! | |
| Morgana (post-loss) | You got a game over, huh... What a depressing screen. You might have lost... but you still looked pretty cool, standing up to that strong opponent. | |
Second Session[]

|---|---|---|
| First play | Second play onward | |
| Morgana | You're against a real kung fu artist this time... Her movements are fast... She's definitely stronger than our first enemy. You'll need to play aggressively. All right, you got behind her! Now go for the combo! |
You have to fight that female kung fu artist again. She's as fast as ever. You'll need to pull off a big combo to beat her. Just don't miss your chance when it comes! Awesome, you got behind her! Time to unleash the combo! |
| The ↓↘→X combination must be inputted in this order within 5 seconds. Additionally, if there's no input within roughly 0.25 seconds, the entire combo will reset. (Cheats increase time limit to 10 seconds.) | ||
| Morgana (success) | All right, now go for a follow-up attack! | |
| Morgana (failure) | Wah, why did you jump!? The enemy's going to hit you! You couldn't get your special attack to activate... I bet you would have been able to win if you had. | |
| The ↓↙←X combination must be inputted in this order within 5 seconds. Additionally, if there's no input within roughly 0.25 seconds, the entire combo will reset. (Cheats increase time limit to 10 seconds.) | ||
| Morgana (success) | All right, it's over! You win! | |
| Morgana (failure) | Wah, why did you jump!? The enemy's going to hit you! You couldn't get your special attack to activate... I bet you would have been able to win if you had. | |
| Morgana (post-victory) | Great, you beat the level! You're amazing! I never thought you'd be able to land such a fierce combo...! It really was incredible watching you go up against such a tough opponent! This is probably a good stopping point. Let's end here for today. | |
| Morgana (post-loss) | You got a game over, huh... What a depressing screen. You might have lost... but you still looked pretty cool, standing up to that strong opponent. | |

| First play | Second play onward | |
| Morgana | This is the final opponent... Wait, it's just a little old lady...? | There she is... That strong grandma... She's incredibly tough. Don't let your guard down. |
| Morgana | Dammit...! She moves so fast, and deals so much damage...! You'll need to land a special attack if you want to even begin creating an opening for yourself! Oh, you have a small window of opportunity... Go, go, go! | |
| The ↓↘→X combination must be inputted in this order within 8 seconds. Additionally, if there's no input within roughly 0.25 seconds, the entire combo will reset. (Cheats increase time limit to 16 seconds.) | ||
| Morgana (success) | She's on her heels! Keep pushing! | |
| Morgana (failure) | Wah, why did you jump!? The enemy's going to hit you! You couldn't get your special attack to activate... I bet you would have been able to win if you had. | |
| The ↓↙←X combination must be inputted in this order within 8 seconds. Additionally, if there's no input within roughly 0.25 seconds, the entire combo will reset. (Cheats increase time limit to 16 seconds.) | ||
| Morgana (success) | You're almost there! This is the moment of truth! | |
| Morgana (failure) | Wah, why did you jump!? The enemy's going to hit you! You couldn't get your special attack to activate... I bet you would have been able to win if you had. | |
| The →↘↓↙←→X combination must be inputted in this order within 8 seconds. Additionally, if there's no input within roughly 0.25 seconds, the entire combo will reset. (Cheats increase time limit to 16 seconds.) | ||
| Morgana (success) | What beautifully flowing combos...! That was amazing! | |
| Morgana (failure) | Wah, why did you jump!? The enemy's going to hit you! You couldn't get your special attack to activate... I bet you would have been able to win if you had. | |
| Morgana (post-victory) | You beat Power Intuition! I can't believe you seriously pulled that combo off...! It really was incredible watching you go up against such a tough opponent...! All right, let's enjoy this ending! | |
| Morgana (post-loss) | It's so disappointing to get a game over after coming this far... You might have lost... but you still looked pretty cool, standing up to that strong opponent. | |

| First time | Second time onward | |
| Morgana (before a session starts) | By the way, haven't you read that secret technique book? | - |
| Morgana | The amount of time you have for the input commands will increase, making the game easier, right? | So, should we use the trick? You'll have more time to enter the input commands. |
| >Use the technique. (Response 1) >Play the game normally. (Response 2) | ||
| Morgana (Response 1) | I see... I guess I understand how you might be frustrated about not being able to beat the game. | |
| Morgana (Response 2) | Spoken like a true warrior. Good luck! | |
| Morgana (post-failure, cheats) | Is it too tough for you? We'll just have to try again next time! | |
Trivia[]
- Power Intuition is a reference to Atlus' game Power Instinct (豪血寺一族, Gouketsuji Ichizoku)?.
- The title is almost word-for-word the same in Japanese, except it says Gouketsuji Ichimi (豪血寺一味).
- The final opponent being "a little old lady" is a reference to the titular Goketsuji sisters, Otane and Oume, the latter of which is the final boss in the first game, and the former in the second game.
- Power Intuition was published in 1990.
- Power Intuition is the only retro game in Persona 5 not to have its post-victory dialogue altered when cheating's enabled.
