Sharakonta Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I got a weird call and hung up on em. oops Oh whoops, so did I.
Vulcan422 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 A reminder about unlockables. -Kilik, Elysium, Edgemaster, Alpha Patroklos, and Pyrrha Omega are unlocked through Story Mode. -Algol is unlocked through Legendary Souls. If Cervantes isn't readily available, so is he. Kilik, Elysium, and Edgemaster can also be unlocked this way. -Some of them are also secret bosses in Arcade Mode. Conditions to fight them are currently unknown, but if you meet them "Here Comes A New Challenger" will appear and you will fight one of them in a 7th battle. -You unlock titles, weapons and CAS parts as you level up and by playing the game.
Urichinan Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 What ever happened to that rumor of Amy secretly being playable? I know it was far fetched, but everything else that guy said was completely true, and he even showed a small clip of artwork that looked like her hand/sword. Did anyone disconfirm this yet?
SolxBaiken Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 If Amy is in this game it will probably be just like the "hidden" characters in IV, where it's just a CaS made to strongly resemble them rather than a real playable character. Anyways, strategy guide preview~
Mightfo Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 unlocks I heard that Algol and Devil Jin can both be unlocked through quick battle. I wonder if you can unlock everyone besides mimics through just finding and beating them in quick battle. I guess i'll find out today!

Did Viola turn out to not be Amy then? The credits confirm that Viola is indeed Amy. She just has amnesia and has taken up a new fighting style. They said before that a couple of returning characters would have their style changed. Amy was one of them.
Starlight777 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 So I played through the first half of story mode and I have to say that I really like the speed and pace of the gameplay. Out of the 5 characters I used in story, Pyrrha is my favorite. I think I might want to learn Z.W.E.I more because when I used him I was really confused on what to do and I'm sure he's gonna be forced on me again.
Starlight777 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 After playing a few matches online with Uri, I have to say that aside from a few disconnects netplay feels really good. There was little lag, almost to the point it wasn't there. Also now that I've fought Dampierre I'm mad I didn't go to best buy. Lastly fighting Viola feels like fighting an Arcsys character that got lost.
PSOInvictus Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Yeah too late to get that weasel now. I meant to but oh well
Starlight777 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) So I was playing Quick Battles and I saw a CaS of Dampierre. All I can say after that is fuck exclusives. Edit: I finally found a character that clicks with me. Turns out it's the very character I got violated by on Day 1 by. Something about the way Viola works feels so right compared to the rest of the cast. Edited February 1, 2012 by Starlight777
Vulcan422 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I have to say, I'm kinda liking Patroklos and Z.W.E.I. after playing them in Story. Alpha Patroklos is pretty dumb, same with Pyrrha and Pyrrha Omega. Also, playing Legendary Souls right now...fuck this mode. Seriously. The AI is fucking brutal as shit and the moment it gets momentum it forces you down and rams its cock up your anus. After Kilik it's been pretty easy so far, though. The only AI exploit I found so far is that sometimes they rush in at first, then when you knock them down they're susceptible to throws. Just don't do it too much or they'll get paranoid and duck when you're close.

I got up to Cervantes on that mode using Raphael and at that moment I decided "Screw this I'll come back when I'm better at this." Also I really like this game and its surprisingly fantastic online but I have one minor gripe. Who ever decided on linking CaS parts and weapon unlocks to leveling should be slapped with a trout lol.
Urichinan Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Starlight, I welcome you to the Viola family. =) It's understandable that you would click with her, due to you playing BlazBlue, a character with lots of gatlings, pressure, mixup options and long combos is a really easy transition. Granted, Viola is quite difficult to learn, she'll still probably feel comfortable for anyone coming from combo heavy games, as well as Z.W.E.I., Yoshimitsu, Siegfried and Xiba.
Tsuki Garyuu Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Though the Princess Gown is gone, I still managed to make a credible Saber Alter with S.o.Nightmare. And I felt like making Bazett with both S.o.Devil and Viola. How convenient. I dunno if it's me, but there's some things about Z.W.E.I. that I don't find useful. He doesn't seem to have many quick attacks, not even the kicks. I understand if he's useful for pressure, but without E.I.N., he doesn't have many "pokes" or lunges other than his A+B attacks. I may need to fight Z.W.E.I. CPU's to find out. What do you guys think? Edited February 1, 2012 by Tsuki Garyuu
Vulcan422 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Well, I made it up to Cervantes, and right now I'm on the verge of quitting and unlocking Algol in Arcade Mode. Some notable patterns I found for each character. Kilik: He mostly stays defensive, but once he gets momentum he pulls off big combos that aim to keep you stunned on the ground. He's pretty susceptible to Ring Outs. SC4 Nightmare: He loves to rush you down from the get-go. He's a little bit easier than Kilik, but you can't ring him out as easily. Instead, he's more susceptible to throws. SC4 Siegfried: Same as Nightmare, except he loves going into stance changes. Ring him out. Inferno Cervantes: Here's where it gets nigh-impossible. He spams Just Frame Psycho Crushers a lot, and makes combos out of them. He's also a huge block-whore.

Lol thanks and for her to be an execution heavy character she is just so versatile and quite good at controlling space. The funny part is that I did not expect to like her more than Pyrrha or Raphael, but now I do. Speaking of CaS characters I'm tempted to make Mavelle Froesson from Star Ocean First Departure.
PSOInvictus Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Ummm astaroth still rapes the cpu for free. I just beat that legendary mode or whatever.
Starlight777 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Ummm astaroth still rapes the cpu for free. I just beat that legendary mode or whatever. Tell me how the CPU is free to Astaroth please. On an unrelated note Elysium is my favorite mimic just because of her CE.
Sharakonta Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 *Uses Siegfried* I hate Maxi *Uses Mitsurugi* lol Maxi
Vulcan422 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Finally beat Legendary Souls mode. Elysium took me A FUCKING HOUR to beat. She amplifies my hatred for Sophitia a billion-fold. Fuck the Greeks. Here's the last of the strats. Edge Master: Block and punish. He's susceptible to throws a lot. Elysium: Oh, God, she is a bitch. She does have a pattern though. She always tries to Angel Step. If you can catch her off guard during Angel Step, you can beat her. Algol: LOL easiest boss in the set. Completely folds like toilet paper under pressure.
Blade Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I think it's gonna be a while before I get this...$60 is way too much for me right now. And the A.I. doesn't exactly sound encouraging either. Might as well play SCIV while I wait, lol
