Heh, see this is exactly what I'm saying though. There really shouldn't be any discussion on it. It's anarchy, fuck morality. :lol If you want the kill, you've gotta protect your quarry, heh.

Yeah, if someone is getting beaten up and has low health, you better know I'm going to try to run in and pull off a throw on them to finish em off!

Fuck a throw, I'm a fan of the mid air killer weapon heavy attack for the final blow. Durga gun leg death from above.

Ah, OK. Thanks for sharing this. Battle Royale was a lot of fun last night, and the Gargoyle you played after that match was monstrous.On the first one
Oh man, I love kill-stealing. I'll hang back on the other side of a room, watching people duke it out, licking my lips, rubbing my hands together... Waiting. Then when the moment is right, I scoot on over (love how Bull scoots) while humming Ennio Morricone music. I leap into the fray with repeated hammer swings, and if nothing else rudely interrupt the brawl in progress, lol.PlatinumGamesJP said:

I don't consider it kill stealing if I'm on a team. That's what team work is for. Also, like someone said before, it's anarchy.

I just know my luck... by the time i get my copy from zavvi the mp is already dead.
Don't be fooled! I'm just really good at mashing out those scrub tactics.
I've discovered certain characters that take me to whole new levels of it too, the amount of taunts im getting while using Big Bull... don't they realise it's only more delicious for me?
Thanks for the fun.

On a serious note; is there any kind of guides available that run through all the characters strengths/weakness and what to do during fights/matchups etc. While it's certainly looking to me like some characters are far above others, it won't determine who I play, I just want to know more precisely what I should be doing to exploit my characters strength - can't be a scrub my whole life. I'm kind of hoping a high level meta develops like SSB or something (p.s. that meta is not a pun), though they've made that difficult with no LAN play I guess.
EDIT: Extra note; switched to the English dub having spent the vast majority of game time with the Japanese dub. It fits very well, might stick with it from here on it. Was English intended to be the standard audio for the game? I can't remember if Max Anarchy defaulted to English or Japanese when I imported it. Did Madworld have a Japanese dub at all?
EDIT:
Unfortunately I don't live up to the name. I said I would learn nihongo like 5 years ago now, and yet....
Thanks for the link, there's definitely some concise and useful tips in there if you run it through a translator and manage to decipher what is being said. Plus the damage tables are straightforward to understand. I can only hope someone who can speak the lingo will do a proper translation.

Yeah, I gotta play online tonight. Far too many SEGA games die out far too quickly online and they usually have unique gameplay you can only find in their games.
OutRun & Sega Rally online communities.

Hey aka, if you can read Japanese, I just found this wiki that has nice information on every character. Also, a while back, I thought someone on GAF mentioned a thread on SRK gathering info from back during MA's release, but I can't find it through Google.
Not sure if this is old, but the game is in the top sellers on the Gamestop website's front page.
Nice! Hopefully that represents the chain at large and not just the website.
I really hope this is selling well.

I have a hard time believing that those Afterglow headphones are one of GameStop's top sellers. Makes me question the legitimacy of that list.
Still, it'd be great if it were true!

This game is actually growing on me as I continue playing multiplayer. I just love finding ways of punishing 360 spamming Rin sisters.

After playing a bit of multiplayer last night [and generally coming in between 3-7 in Battle Royale], I've decided to practice combo's in training today [with Bayonetta, she's the fighter I've chosen to main, I don't care if she's over/under-powered, I like her as a character >] . Otherwise, it's way too common for a combo to be interrupted with a Spin Attack. The combo I'm planning on perfecting is an air juggle one, so that should help things considerably.
That being said, it's frantic as all hell, but I always have a great time. It's an incredible experience, win or lose.

I'm so glad you told me how good Douglas' dash attack was, I felt like I was missing something. Haha normally I would expect something like that in a game like this to be a bad idea his is totally dumb x.x/

Goddammit, I keep getting disconnected from PSN :|
All the good ones don't last. I loved The Club's Team Siege mode. That didn't last long. Chrome Hounds, Daytona, Sega Rally, Phantom Dust, OutRun... PD isn't a SEGA game but had former SEGA devs behind it.
It just seems like anything competitive that is NOT a first person shooter doesn't last online.

Yeah, as sad as it is, I can totally see this being another Chromehounds. =/ An amazing game that didn't get the audience it deserved because it wasn't a military FPS.
I do so hope I'm wrong, though.

Actually, I'm happy to say that Gears of War 3 still has a decent community. And one of the best co-op games ever made, Lost Planet 2, has a very small, but dedicated, community.

This thread is picking up fast, I forget their name but to the member with the Binary Domain avatar, I just saw the cut scene at the end of chapter 3 you were talking about, really cool seeing the game go all MadWord, if only for a moment.
We only played a couple games akaoni but good stuff all the same. Oh and cheers for the tip on health recovery, was wondering why everyone else had more health than me.
For those just starting out online I reckon the smaller games are a good way to get a chance to try out the movesets, getting the hang of Mathilda's combos and killer weapon moves.
I certainly won't be dropping this game anytime and agree with others that its a shame unique MP games, particularly Sega games have died out in the past. Not gonna happen this time!

I should've mentioned that I've yet to try it myself as I'm signing out, so it might be best if akaoni explains.
They're an exception, to an extent, because many people who are into fighting games play with friends or attend events to play them in a local multiplayer setting. They will also tell you this is the best way to play the game competitively. This is especially true of the games with poor or imperfect netcode.
Alrighty, thanks anyway!
I guess I'll wait until he/she explains it [if they find their way clear in doing so]. >
Wow wow confusion here! It was just a simple scrubby rotation to help improve your gameplay in the early stages, it recovers Killer Weapon meter, not health. My fault for the lack of explanation I guess, it's always tempting to use broken English entering those messages on PSN (would the little keypad thing be worth buying). Sorry for the confusion. If you're having trouble getting on your feet, find a character with a reliable air(L2+Triangle), it costs 2 bars and can do some serious damage from nowhere if you do it above a group of players. Then what you want to do is build some meter like we're playing street fighter by spamming some square to build 2 bars over and over, this builds even if the opponent guards. Pick Big Bull and laugh as their health evaporates to 40% with 1 simple attack.
On that note it's worth mentioning that the game does have regenerating health and it doesn't stop within the vicinity of the battle, it only stops when you get hit. A good idea seems to be making use of throw/killer weapon animation invincibility to run the clock down for your health to start regenerating. You can add this to the jumping L2+triangle routine by picking a character that has an animation on hit. I think Baron has the best one because his does AoE damage to those around your target as well? <-- I think this is true at least, I've noticed my health regenerating while fighting many times.
Pro tips from your experienced scrub - answering your questions one at a time while asking a thousand. No Problem.
P.S. did anyone ever answer my question about breaking throws? I'm still not sure how it's done.
Edit:
Thanks, I was under the impression that you had to mash every button like getting frozen/stunned etc.

yeah
but I can understand why people get confused online about it.
I've broken throws with square and x as well
and have broken KW cutscene moves as if they were throws.(I'll take full damage from the cutscene, but after it's played out I'll get the throw break animation and get all that health back lol.)
So I think consistency of the rules is a definitely a problem online for whatever reason.
but yeah I think most players are consistent with pressing circle as soon as they see the cutscene start on their side. I've actually tried to get in the habit of sliding my finger over X to Circle just in case but I have no idea if that does any good

When I worked at a local gamestore we couldn't keep Afterglow stuff on the shelves. It would come in and be gone within a couple of days.
So yeah, it rings true. Which is great for Anarchy Reigns... And Afterglow or something.
I'm sure this has been asked a bunch of times, but I only now started paying attention to this game. Am I screwed as far as the pre-order dlc at this point? (As in, is there any way for me to get it, even if I just purchase it on PSN?)
(Hrm, nothing on PSN. If there's no way to get the dlc, I might just take it back unopened to the store, I hate that feeling of having a game with fundamental missing content.)

Holy crap, I can't believe I finally defeated a Cybrid Bar-bot, thank you Bayonetta with that lucky blow.
Not fundamental, though.
Missing character in a fighting type game is pretty fundamental, imho.
If you're in the EU, I can give you my code. Never played Bayonetta and don't really care about the DLC.
Only thing I know of are the first aid fields.
There's an ability you can use that ups your HP recharge rate by 20% I think.
Thanks, but unfortunately I'm in the US.
I went back to the store and they said there was no way for them to hook me up with the preorder DLC, so back it went. Too bad this game was completely not on my radar until today, it sounds like I woulda liked it, but I'm not planning on re-buying it until I can either get the DLC (for example via purchase on the PSN store) or the game is steeply discounted.

So, can we safely assume there will be no post-release support for this game? I'm not even talking about new content, just a patch. The game has been out since last Summer in Japan, so I guess we are stuck with the poor online interface for good? The game is rad, but I'd love some bug fixes and streamlining.
Hell, I got stuck in the first offline mission:
