Yes, Parace is the tan woman. No details yet about her being balanced. For now here's some info about her. http://imgur.com/3S4V5.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjUa_TY1xgc Here's a list of her cheap ass attacks Stolen moves from other Arcana Lang-Gong(Fire) - Kasen Yoku(236E), Kakou En(214) Niptra(Water) - Cataracta(214E), Niptrum(236E) Tempestas(Wind) - Skris(236E), Vortex(214E), Scutum(6D during block) Otsuchi(Earth) - Kaname Ishi(623E), Kaichimon Mekkijin (236E) Almacia(Ice) - Naru(236E) Elemental Orbs - If hit by any of these, it will cause a status effect. Red Orb - Confusion(Causes RANDOM directional and button changes) Blue - Slow Down Green - Poison Yellow - Super Armor(Which means you CANNOT block) Supers and Parace only moves Nome - Parace version of Kaichimon Mekkijin(Four stone feet stomp gound) Salamander - The four orbs go where opponent is and explode Undine - Parace shoots the four orbs at opponent while they are spinning a a circle Sylph - Parace version of Vortex. Creates four lines of wind projectiles Storm - The four orbs go where opponent is a spin in a circle moving vertically making a pillar shape Celcius - Creates an energy sword, then shoots it. Causes time stop on hit. Has a super version as well Tetra Force - Send out all four orbs they spin making an alchemic circle causing random ailments Critical Hearts Prima Material Elixir - Parace encased herself in a giant crystal regaining health/super in the process. You can shorten her recovery time by attacking the orb. It gets smaller every attack. Prima Material: Nigredo Rubedo - Encases you in Gigantic crystal, then makes it explode. Instant Kill.... As you can see, she's a little hard to deal with.

Yeah, I know that already.... Anyway, it seems Examu is gearing up for another big tournament before console release. After the finals they will have ranked matches online with the port. Tournament starts on Oct, 31 and ends on Jan. 23. I hope this means it has good online.

Site is going strong. I love the layout. Keep it up.

I'm guessing you haven't fought the "Millenium Keeper" in S!AH2. lol Parace is really fucking hard. She puts Mildred to shame. Fighting Parace on Level 8 is suicide. The list was meant to be simple. It's just a way of seeing a general status of the characters for newbies. There are many angels on that list that fall into more than 1 category. If you really want break-your-hand-with-frustratingly-tightly-timed-combos then play AH1 Lilica/Lieselotte/Mei-Fang/Maori. Due to the mechanics in that game, these characters can get exceptionally long combos. Actually a lot of characters can. lol As for AH3, using Extend Force during a combo will make you character faster than normal(Arcana dependant), allowing for combos that weren't possible before. This makes any character in the game somewhat execution heavy. But if you really want a "execution level list", so be it. I won't show the full list. Just the ones that matter. Most Execution: Maori Lieselotte Lilica Least: Catherine Fiona Heart There are things for most angels that can be hard to pull off during a real match such as, Dorothy's better poker hands, Yoriko's Pentagram, Just framing Zenia's pilebunker, etc. This is all my opinion. Just so that's clear. I know a lot of people want to know "What's the tier list? or "Which Arcana is the best?", but the beauty of Arcana Heart is that mixing and matching characters/arcana is half the fun. Experimentation is key and Arcana offers loads of it. This sounds hilariously racist. lol Her name is pronounced "Charlotte". Simple. lol

I think see what you mean now by the new art style making them look soft. Also, I know Weiss wasn't in AH2. She's the main character in AH3 instead of Heart. I was just refering to characters that look more serious than others. If Heart's involed when characters have dialogue during the story, it's really hard to take it seriously. I did like the special intro in AH2 with Heart/Petra. She took out her guns to take Heart down. Bitch was probably getting in the way of Petra's mission. lol Konoha is a very good rushdown character. Her teleport moves make 3 clones and you have to figure out which is the real one quickly or you're gonna hurt for it. That's one tool too. She has a couple more. LMAO Stay away from Akane? Man, everyone is gonna be all over that bitch(pun intended) when this game drops. Akane's j.5B anyone? lol Akane, Elsa, Wiess, Kamui, Petra, Parace(if balanced) are gonna be fan favorites. Maybe Schar too.

Arcana Heart pre-Sugoi was not dark or edgy at all. It looked fine. Just a little plain. And only certain characters were serious anyway. Mostly the ones that are directly involved in the main plot(Petra, Kamui, Weiss, etc.). Anyway, I put together some info on Parace for the few who care somewhat about story/character backgrounds. Like me. - She was an Alchemist during the Renaissance. Even after she died her soul went to the Arcana world. Where she became the Arcana of Life. -Calls herself the "Milleniuum Keeper". Similar to how Kamui is the "Millennnium Protector" and Konoha is the "Millennium Guard" - Also a Doctor - From Switzerland - Has fought Kamui several times in the past - Lilica's Father, Rajzel von Felchenerow worked with Parace. - was an acquaintance of Clarice during her time as a vicious demon - Very bad ethics and vague standards of what's right and wrong - Obsessed with life. So she does not like lazy people. - The golden bangle worn on her arm(normal) and leg(Arcana form) seems to be used to gain a material body when passing through dimensions.

I main Dorothy. With her "card hand" ability she adds a lot to an already awesome game. She does takes some coordination though. So you can't make too many mistakes. Also, the new Guard Crush Poker Hand she has is just too good.

Playing AH3, I tried to figure out good combos with the Fenrir Geist. One character that seems to go well with it is Catherine. A lot of her moves give lots of stun time to the opponent. Which is more than enough time to setup that cannon super. Even though it has huge start-up time. Also, being full screen away, spamming 6C/3C as the opponents blocking then mixing in a 641236+E for a guard crush is hilarious.

So can I just JI instead of TK all my CLs?

*Violently stumbles onto Dustloop after looking at the comments for SRKs AH3 front page article* Oh God!!! My eyes!!! My eyes!!! There's so much salt in my eyes!! It was everywhere!

Well, I'm glad my post finally sparked some conversation. Dustloops AH3 thread can get dull. Fiona may suck but that still doesn't keep people from picking her and spamming C. lol To tell the truth, It kinda slipped my mind that Elsa is top tier. Completely forgot about her for some reason. Also, the shit damage thing about Heart was a joke. lol Oh and Eko is 5yrs old. Not 4. See Here: http://www29.atwiki.jp/arcanaheart3/pages/20.html

*A comedic look at the future of Arcana Heart 3 in the U.S.A.* Lots of Weiss, Kamui, Scharlachrot, Petra cuz energy swords, guns, and daisy dukes are so damn cool. Lots of switching to Fiona when player loses first match. I know Akane will be character of choice for tier whoring. People will jump on picking Lilica upon realizing she isn't as execution heavy anymore. No characters of skill like Dorothy, Nazuna, Maori, Yoriko will be picked. Nobody will pick Eko because even though she's fun to play as, she's 5. Also, people will pick Heart not realizing she does shit damage in AH3.

Not exactly story-related but... Does anyone know what exactly Zappa is wearing? It looks like that white mold is grafted to his skin. Yet he is wearing a speedo over it and has a t-shirt on under it. Is it explained somewhere in his background?

WTF? This game got stickied and not Arcana Heart 3!? Fucking hilarious. lol

How do I make good use of The Dance(214D)? Are there any good combos I can use it for?

Does anyone know what exactly Zappa is wearing? It looks like that white mold is grafted to his skin. Yet he is wearing a speedo over it and has a t-shirt on under it. wtf.

Just making sure. Roger Get is the move where he falls to the ground sliding right?

I've updated Catherine's AH3 wiki page almost completely. The only things I'm not finished with yet is the Arcana and Combo section. I'm going to add more description on the special moves as well. I haven't been to Austin in a while to figure out some new combos in AH3. I'll have to go there soon. For those of you interested in Catherine, I put all the basic info and more. Check out the wiki page and tell me what you think. Catherine Kyohbashi - Arcana Heart 3 Wiki

I just wanna play as catherine already.

I play as Eko/Kira/Yoriko a lot in AH3. Though I think I might main Catherine or at least add her to my list of picks. When the port comes out I'll show you all what her and Terry can do. lol fuckhuge mech BS ftw

Cathy may be stupid in that fuck-huge mech of hers but damn if she isnt fun to tro-...I mean play as. lol Anyway, counter picking the Tyr Geist seems to be an effective way to pacify Cathy's awesomeness. Smart Cathy players have found a way around this though.

I already know about poverty.mizuumi.net. I'm going to update some Eko combo/strats soon. Yes poverty.mizuumi is fine for now but I kinda want my own site. First and most importantly it will have a wiki and a forum for people. Then when that's done, I want to add translated character info, pictures, etc. And of course, important updates like new game versions/tournaments/characters will be on the front page and in the announcement thread of the forums.

Yeah Luck is awesome. Great stuff to give you the advantage. Anyway, I want to make a website dedicated to this series. Kinda like dustloop but with more than just forums. What's the best way to do this? For forums, this format on Dustloop seems pretty good, but for the rest of the webite idk what do use.

3.1 version has been out for awhile now. There's even a video showing the major glitches that are fixed.
