H-F Blade Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I like how when I'm trying to boost forward after 2ABC I end up boosting straight down. I suppose I'm holding the 2 direction for too long but it's something I can overcome with a little practice. :X
H-F Blade Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 It is, but I kept boosting downward because I was holding 2 for too long. :\ I wish the training mode were better.
Zaido Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 then stop holding 2 :P haha well yea... i been only playing trainign mode for the past 2 days.. :V it was helping cause i can finally do combos ! and know how to use BOoST!
Koozebanian Fazoob Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Kira's 360s are definitely the easiest 360s I've ever seen... I am terrible at them and I can still do Kira's like 100% of the time. 720s a bit harder though. Anyway, does Kira have any decent combos with Time arcana? Seems like she can get them to the corner easy but without the quick step forward I'm not sure how to do the weird corner loops or anything.
CrimsonDisaster Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 She has/had a ridiculously broken pseudo-infinite reset.
testament101 Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 hey Zaido...given your avatar...I'll assume you're using Maori...if so...have you gotten the hang of sweet spotting the downward kick to follow them all the way down into the poison yet?
Villainous Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Any of you guys find a way out of gier/lighting super into unblockable yet? Seems like it's possible using guard cancels but I haven't found any super reliable way yet. Also what's up with the DPs hit boxes in this game, they're tiny.
Tage*Proto Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 I've heard of the unblockables, but haven't seen any yet or been able to pull them off. Testament101, if you do a 623+a, then whiffing a C into 22B is the sweet spot normally. However the recovery on 623+a is long, so whiffing the c can be difficult to time.
pbjmixxa Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Any of you guys find a way out of gier/lighting super into unblockable yet? Seems like it's possible using guard cancels but I haven't found any super reliable way yet. Also what's up with the DPs hit boxes in this game, they're tiny. Those are quite difficult to get around. I believe guard cancel-to-throw works pretty well, but I wouldn't say it's too reliable. Practice more wall-techs! I hope you're not comparing the DP hitboxes to Sol's. Otherwise, I find the hitboxes to be fairly decent (well... Heart's at least!).
Villainous Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Hmm well, I was mostly referring to Mei Fang's, and the witch chick. I haven't mesed around with heart much yet, but I guess the DPs are ok as anti air, they just don't work that great on the ground >_<

Gier and Bhanri 6[C] and 3[C] setups are hilarious. 4D at the appropriate moment (something like right around the 2nd hit of the super... for both supers, IIRC) to avoid getting clobbered... or 6D at the appropriate time to clash and hope you win the post-clash war without getting hit. If you're using Tempestas (wind) you can 6D pushblock them off you D: But yeah, 4D is generally your best shot. Can be baited and such but then your problem isn't getting guardcrushed, it's getting mixed up

CrimsonDisaster Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 So basically you're in trouble either way. Wouldn't Gier's 3rd hit smack you if you did 4D? If you time it right... no, IIRC. Though it's better to eat the 3rd hit (with less followup these days) than it is to eat the 6[C] into all the hits and get combo'd D:
darkpanzer Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Wow pbjmixxa, if you mainly use the characters in your ava, then we use the same characters! But the main thing is, I need to get better with each of those characters. My Saki is average, Heart is average, and then my Kamui...... way way way below what you can say is average. I also use a little bit of Maori from here and there and just to say.... rushing your shit down with her is amazing!!!!! As I look at the pages of guardcrush, I wonder when they will post some actual info on Heart.
pbjmixxa Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Nice to know there's more people giving Heart a chance. I main Heart above all others and play Saki and Kamui as secondaries. Wouldn't say my Heart's too much better than the other two, but I do spend most of my time playing her. Her IAD combos can be... quite exhausting... but so much fun to pull off. Yeah, I do wish they'd put up some Heart info on guardcrush. Though I know a lot about Heart, it would be nice to get info on things like "How she fairs with different Arcanas" and that sort of thing. There are some Heart combos, as well as other char info, posted on the link in my sig, if interested. Not too much info, but we're working on it.
...... Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I'm still wondering if I should bother getting this game. It reminds me of melty blood, which was fun, though not as good as GG. Is there somewhere I can find out just how to play this game? The most I can seem to find are command lists, which don't really explain the game mechanics at all. Can someone point me in the direction of an instruction manual or FAQ that explains how the game works?

CrimsonDisaster Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Nice to know there's more people giving Heart a chance. The best player in the US plays Heart. Heart is too good. 6B

Incendia Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Any good Arcana Hearts guide like the GG 101 guide? Looks very interesting so far (now that PS2 version is out, training should be much easier), but i can't seem to grasp the basics lol. Didn't really play the arcade version. I've heard about woof's guide, but i can't seem to find it here?

Heart is too good. 6B Who would that be exactly? Sabin plays Kamui, and HeartNana plays Lili. Pre-console port, I would consider them the best in the US.
