Anyone do Survival Score Attack yet? Out of all the "Boss" characters so far, the Bullshit Meter on this one is just... whew. I think Parace is still worse tho. Just hoping there isn't a reward for clearing it without using a continue. (That would suck)

...yup. Since AH1. Liese being a close second.

Mom has Century Link (tv, phone, internet, prism) while I have Cox (internet) as a second internet service. Wish I had your luck, tho XD

Lol fair enough. Regardless, Speedtest is saying i have 33/7, PS3 is now showing an estimate of 20/6 after messing with settings and probably just giving it time to settle. Not complaining nearly as much, tho. Guess its time to get wrecked on netplay (because I need this)

Yea, pretty sure. Internet connection bit automatically sets up the connection if it detects an ethernet cord to wired. Didn't get to put serious time into looking up everything since i had to drive out to class. Once I get home, I'll have a better chance to do so.

Managed to get some internet after all. Either Century Link is one huge lying motherfucker or the guy who installed whatever services had no idea what he was doing. Currently in the process of getting full speed for PS3 (it's showing half the speed while wired. 13/4 instead of 25/5) so if anyone knows what's up with that, any bit of help would be appreciated. Other than that, today is a good day.

*forgot about Time's Blaze* ..........sonnuva

Do i dare even ask what it is?

Having issues with Trial 2 Gold (Starting from a jumpin, perform a combo of any length [3 times]), Playing Fiona. I get the jump-in part (let's say, j.B land 5B etc...) and the counter recognizes it (1/3) but once the combo ends, it resets to 0. Anyone have any advice to complete this one?

That does sound pretty good. I don't know crap about frames or counting them so I just go, "oh, this works! Let's commit this to memory and not question why!" Once I get the timing down, I'll start my Sacred rampage on netplay. I'm really feeling more confident about attempting Punish in Love Max compared to vanilla. And I went ahead and made a Trials topic on HC.

It's cool. I'll be going back and forth between here and HC. Since Tigre (and many others) are fighting for this sub-forum slot, figured I'd try to get the ball rolling here as much as possible.

Working on a Trials Guide for Fiona. Any places with a [WIP] either means I haven't done it or gotten to it yet so feel free to contribute helpful info. May be common knowledge already but just trying to contribute where I can: Trial 1: --Bronze: 15 Jump Attacks. Straightforward --Silver: Jump cancels. Straightforward --Gold: Defeat using ONLY normals. Still straightforward Trial 2: --Bronze: Grounded combos. 2A > 2B. You'll have the required number. --Silver: EFC Combo x3. Nothing fancy. 2/5B 2C EFC 5B works. Rinse and repeat. --Gold: Jump in attack> Combo x3. Use Time Arcana. Thanks to umgogo Trial 3: --Bronze: 7 hits. --Silver: 10 hits. --Gold: 13 hits. [WIP - Again, Time Arcana works wonders. Although, it's still a matter of finding the optimal 'combo' path to take. Normal attacks count, however I don't think Grand Divide > Misty Chain did. As of now, I did Time Blaze > 5A 2A 5B 2B 5C 2C and something else to get 8 out of the required 13 for Gold.] Multi-hit moves seem to count as only "1" hit. Trial 4: --Bronze: Hit while Homing. Straightforward. --Silver: Clash 20 times. 2B helps here. --Gold: EF Mode hits. No Extend Blast, no hits outside of EF. You'll probably end up against Lilica. Try not to get anxious. Trial 5: --Bronze: 5-Hit Homing Cancel Combo. I honestly did this without realizing it. 5A 2B 2E HC > (whatever you want) --Silver: 10K damage. Enemy has Flower Arcana so no easy CH nonsense. Easy way out, use Sacred Bringer [10K] (You'll want to practice this anyway for Trial 9.) --Gold: 10K damage, no meter. STILL has Flower Arcana. Easy way out is STILL Sacred Bringer. Get to practicing! Trial 6: "Win Quick" --Bronze: 30 secs --Silver: 20 secs --Gold: 10 secs. 5[C] 623C Excalibur works. You're Fiona. Stick with C moves. Trial 7: --Bronze: Hit 3 Extend Blasts. ABC right on top of them --Silver: Win by Time Over. Straightforward. Ok, but odds are, you'll be against Magnet Kira with 3 Arcana gauges. As of right now, I'm sticking to 5B spacing. If Kira is grounded and it connects, 5B 236A 236B nothing else. Don't jump. If Kira is airborne 5B or if you're feeling lucky, 421X, but mind your spacing and respect her range. Try to drag this out as long as possible and avoid unnecessary damage while whittling down her health. I used Ice Fiona to help with keep away. --Gold: Perfect Win. Trial 8: --Bronze: 3 Arcana Eclipses. Just do them. Doesn't have to hit. --Silver: Arcana Blaze Win. --Gold: Arcana attacks [WIP] Trial 9: Sacred Set (Obviously, my favorite part of ALL these) --Bronze: Sacred Bringer. If it's against Nazuna, good luck finding that sweetspot. --Silver: Win with Critical Heart. Clean hit not required. You can whittle their health down and start going for Slayer. If their health is low enough, getting a bad hit will count as a Critical Heart. --Gold: Clean Hit Sacred Slayer. (Awwwwww, no Punish? Booooooooo) Trial 10: --Bronze: Beat Boss Scharl. Groooooooooss... Other than being in 'Round 2' mode in the first round, same old Scharl. --Silver: Beat Boss Angelia. Ewwwwwwwww.... Ange has Mildred out at all times. Stay mindful of Clock Towers, Meteors and Heavenly Smiting (arcana blaze) as they hurt like hell, and also keep an eye out for Ange's counters. She has her standard ring counter and then another one that hits you for a good chunk of health. Mildred has an attack where she'll kick in front of you, then behind you almost allowing for some sandwich nonsense. Ultimately, stick to being Fiona and she won't be too much of a threat. --Gold: Beat Para- FUCKDATSHIT [WIP]

Ah, appreciated. Might make a Fiona-specific guide for it once I figure out how to buttons again.

Has anyone messed around in (read: translate) the Trials part yet? My Japanese is only so good and I'm just guessing things, lol. Edit: Hold on... slowly figuring this out.

I'm rusty as shit. My little brother could beat me with his 2-hr Platinum if he tried. I went mainly for meeting old friends and stuff. I'll try to hit up the ranbats in the future tho.

How to 'Gomennasai' and Why: Some things I've noticed are -- BnB combos still look the same -- Try to end blockstrings and combos with 2C as there are more options available compared to 5C -- Kaletov's Roof (623X) is now doable in air. Not an overhead and I can't see anyway to combo into it. -- Still has a guard point on it when used in air. -- Excalibur follow - GONE. After Excalibur (both aerial, grounded, even on counter hit), Fiona stays on the ground for too long to have a follow up like before (5C, Special, Arcana, oki, etc) --5[C] is still overhead. -- Pretty sure the Sacred series (236A > 236B > etc..) does less damage. Still not likely to use, but something to note. -- However, CH 236A > 2B is a thing as the counter hit floats for longer duration -- [Corner] 236A > 236B > [Enemy Wallbounce] > Excalibur no longer works as when Fiona is in the crouched position, she is stuck there until the either the Sacred jump is done -OR- Enemy hits the ground. -- Actually, hitting just about any C move allows for some silly damage on counter hit -- CH j.C > Excalibur (Air or Ground) [10K] O==========================O If internet starts working right, I'll be cruisin' netplay and streaming ('MaruchanNoodles")

Oh, man... gaming room at PCC was lackluster as fuck. Thank goodness I ran into some cool people and a Satsuki. And then Love Max was in the mail when I got home. Not a bad day. What's up on you guys' end?

Oh wow... look how empty Fiona's page i- *types in* "Fiona is the best and don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise" ...while still waiting for my copy to show up. orz this shipping matchup is 9-1, how do i even...

internet Update: Turns out Century Link (current home internet) is literally cockblocking me from getting my own internet. So after all this anticipation, I'm officially stuck with this POS service. It's been fun, guys, but go on without me...

So what's the hosting forecast looking like for the next couple months? I have a 3-week break starting sometime late-June.

sounds good then. may be a while before I can hang out with you guys seeing as I'm about 2-3 quarters from graduating and I seem to always have Friday night classes. So unless I catch a really lucky break or something... then again, I've been missing for the past ever anyway, haha.

Good news, everyone! Finally getting reasonable internet so I can Love Max and BBCP and... idk if UNIB will have netplay, but yea. I can do things now. In other news... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcDgOGC5Lcc

If it's supposed to be White Len, why they chose blue instead of black then... I just do not get. No matter, I dont' even plan to play that character. Gotta get some of that Chocolate Hilda

With all these humorous color palette names, I am SO disappoint that none of Vatista's stand out as much. Altho what is up with that "Like hell that's a Snow Fairy, what are you doing in this UNIB, Nu?" on Eltnam? lol http://cdn57.atwikiimg.com/uni_colors/?plugin=ref&serial=240
