lol, Mike aka "kaleido star". Mike's style is certainly impressive, however I find him to be far too offensive. That, in itself, results in him losing matches he should have won if he was a bit more patient. Being a defensive Jam player, I can't say he's my fav player as his style differs far too much from mine. My fav always has, and always will be, Kazu. Sure he's not as devastating as he used to be, but I still find A LOT of matches where he just plain owns. His combos are, without a doubt, the best and I certainly enjoy his style more than Mike. ... but that's just me.

......... WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!!!!

Each character has their own arcana, so there's 6 new arcanas as well. Ice (Zenia), Sacred/Judgment (Petra), Punishment (Elsa), Sin (Clarice), Magnet (Cathy), Mirror (Dotty).

The way I see it, Arcana Blasts give you the same powerups as Arcana Blaze for a set period as well as allowing you to push away your opponent. One example is that rock arcana's arcana blast gives superarmor. No idea what any of the other arcana blasts do, I'm afraid.

First of all, its Arcana HEART not HEARTS. (I'm so close to giving up!) Secondly, the move you're talking about is j.3C (as stated above). Finally, I'd prefer we leave AH2 discussions outside of this thread. Any questions about AH2 can be directed here until an AH2 thread is started.

Tiggy: All I can say is, if you still intend to take part in my "random drink" MM, you best stay away from Heart, Saki, and Konoha. I got Heart, Brandino got Saki, and Shinobi got Konoha... I'm just saying it'd be a lot more fun if we didn't have to do mirrors. But don't let that stop you from choosing whoever you want to play as.

I don't have to answer that... do I? Indeed a good number of the top players have been playing longer than 4 months, but what I meant was that there are some who've only been playing the game for 4 months yet are incredible players. The majority of the community has only been playing for 4 months and even they put up some good competition against the top players.

Take everything one step at a time. This game is, without a doubt, a far more defensive game than GG, partly due to how offense-oriented GG is. Even so, there's not too much you need to know about defensively. Knowing which GC is perfect for which situation is something best learned through matchup experience. Picking your Arcana is merely personal taste, obviously. I say, before you set something in stone, try out EVERY arcana (Don't make the same mistake I made!). It's also a good idea to have a backup arcana (in your case, Dark arcana gets owned by Water arcana so it's always good to have a backup plan if you can't figure your own way out). This game may seem complicated at first, but trust me, it's not much. As you play more, everything will become common-place, so try not to freak out. Just look at how good the community is yet they've only been playing for about 4 months!

I think what made Kira top in the original was the Kira splash. Now, most players know what to do to avoid it... pretty much by outprioritizing her. So, I guess the deal with Kira being top in the original was because no-one quite knew how to play against her. As far as the plant arcana goes... it is, without a doubt, the worst arcana in the game. I don't believe there's anyone (well... anyone good) that uses it. It's still usable because of the unblockables, but those are too situation specific unlike Lightning and Dark's unblockables. I wouldn't bother with it unless you either: - are bored with all other arcanas - in the mood for something different - want to be known as one of the only plant-users - hate winning!

Fixed... just to make sure no-one gets confused.

Heart is just generally better than Saki. She has a better DP, better normals with better clashes, as well as more damage. Pretty much anything Saki can do, Heart can do better. The only edge Saki has over Heart is her rushdown and speed which can be beaten by clashing.

I say Mei-Fang's better than Maori simply because Maori's normals SUCK! She can dominate in the air and zone you until you feel like stabbing yourself (or your opponent for that matter), but that's it! Mei-Fang has a lot more options. However, as the matchup goes, it's probably in Maori's favor. I don't play either char so I can't be sure.

It's not so much "hard" as it is near impossible. You have to power-up, activate arcana, and get a "clean hit" super off of Grand Divider (which in itself is ridiculously difficult). Not to mention, the power-up itself doesn't last long and, in just about every match you play, neither will the arcana blaze. Fiona's cool and all, but don't even think of maining her just for that or you'll NEVER win! Don't forget she's bottom-tier, right next to Yoriko.

Not many combo vids were made for AHF. No idea why, but it's just like that. Give me a min while I find some. [EDIT] ... or try that! [EDIT2] Here's a couple more: http://youtube.com/watch?v=YW8eyRx0lwk - Fiona CV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK3h91Wl2EE - Yoriko tutorial pt1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImYtPONGius&feature=user - Yoriko tutorial pt2

what I mean is that it can go either way, in other words you'll be fine in one and screw up in the other... start practicing more in that one and end up screwing up in the other. The way IADs work in AHF is completely different to GG IADs yet play a huge role in both games (a bigger one in AHF). It'll take a long time to get used to the difference... in fact, I still screw up in both and I been playing since it came out! (well 1 day before it came out!) If you're asking about the bug, it's where sometimes you want to just jump out so you tap 7, but it gets registered as 744. So sometimes you'll IAD when you just want to jump, and others you'll jump when you want to IAD. [EDIT] @Hatred - tourneys do FULL! AH is broken!

IADs will fuck you up (but that's a bug in the port)! Aside from that, depending on which char you pick up, it's not at all hard to get into the game with a GG background. The game's VERY different from GG so the only advantage you have is that GG is a far more difficult game. As for which char, pick whichever's most appealing. The actual hard part is picking the arcana... but that can only come from trying all of them. and @Hatred - Almost forgot, Water-Mei-Fang's also very good as she can be protected from reversals. Makes rushing even easier! [EDIT] I think you mean Maori. She's VERY difficult to use... but has enormous ____ (I'll let you fill that in!)

Without a doubt, Saki works best with Lightning (unblockables + cheapest arcana + clashes). I do know Fire, Dark, and Love work very well for her as well. But... well, every Saki player uses Lightning just because it's too good for her.

Since you luv to rush, you might want to give Dark-Mei-Fang a try as well. That is one monstrous combo! (insane rushdown + unblockables + massive damage!)
