Come on get it!!! Full of moe.

only one guy got the 360 version eh? so lonely.

i wanted to get the LE but it sold out.

game being region locked probably made lots of 360 players get the ps3 version.

 

[SonOfABeep]

It plays like marvel, sort of.

It's easier - combos into super moves are braindead easy. I saw people doing half damage combos first day of playing.

It's super fun though. I'm really debating putting an order in for the japanese ps3 version.

 

[d0c_zaius]

After a bit of messing around, I started to remember what I really liked about AH's quirky systems.

It's great not being stuck to the ground again (SSF4 ).

Ah, forgot about that one. Are there any other examples?

Battle Fantasia I think.

Actually there's a german guy who has the 360 version as well. We played some games yesterday and it was great. I even won a couple of times!

Little combos like B -> C -> super are very easy, but if you want to do something better the timing is quite strict. Harder than Blazblue, at least.

 

[Triple Da G.O.D!]

Damn, DAT ARCANA got an OT. I like that. I've had the game since Tuesday but I finally got a chance to open it up and play a bit. I just gotta get some lab time with Mei-Fang because I know I'm so rusty with her. So I'm off to do just that.

[bistromathics]

Just got my copy, fresh from the loli capital of the world

Now I need to find some konoha bnbs...

 

[sixteen-bit]

good lawd that's a lot of money.

I'm hoping for a western port myself. I'll be getting the Pink Sweets/Muchi Muchi Pork double pack and that's pretty dear already.

 

[bistromathics]

How are the buttons set up on an arcade stick? I set mine to

A B C
D E

but i'm reading the wiki and D isnt an attack...is this still right?

 

[danmaku]

I use the same setup. Default arcade is different:

A B C
D---E

D is the homing button, it's not an attack but you'll be using it a lot so it makes sense to put it under your thumb.

 

[bistromathics]

^ thx. For combo notation, what does it mean if it starts with ~? eg:

5A > 5B > 2B > 5C > 623B >[follow up] 6C

vs

~2C > 6C > Cancel into J214X > JB > JC > JE(whiff) > land > JA > JC > J214X > JB > jc > JB > JC > Ender

~: Indicates that the preceding action should link (immediately follow with) into the next action. i.e. "X" ~ "Y", "X" should be followed immediately by "Y"
e.g. 5C ~ 6D ~ 5A

It's for AH but should mean the same.

 

[Shadow Red]

Nice thread. Did the game sell well in Japan?

Not sure about "well", but it broke top 10 for the week of release.

It sold less than the 1st one, but more than the 2nd one. Arcana heart 1st week was 22k. AH2 sold 11k. For the type of game it is, I think it did alright.

[Flek]

got my game today If you want to play just add me (psn name fleko)

Anyway played it for a bit and have to say it is really fun. I think iam going to main Kamui: She is awesome and together with the plant arcana really fun. I even won my first online ranked match right away. However a bit later i met a korean who played Catherine like scrubs/flowchatert play ryu in sf4. He ONLY used the projectile thingy and then the same moveset over and over again…really annoying.

the only thing i don´t like about the game is the music, it can get kinda annoying.

 

[thundr51]

I've been watching this game ever since the disastrous second port. I want it bad, but importing this is expensive. I want to wait for a port, but I don't think it's going to happen. Hopefully I'll still be able to find it after the tax refund shows up. But for now I'll have to stick to vids and slumming it with AH2.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Does it support custom soundtracks on dat triple?

 

[Flek]

Does it support custom soundtracks on dat triple?

iam not sure, going to try this later and report back

 

[bistromathics]

any new players want to throw down online? my psn name is 'bistromathics' and i've made a room called 'usa newbies'

 

[Triple Da G.O.D!]

Does it support custom soundtracks on dat triple?

Nope. And I'm online if anybody wants to play.

 

[spandexmonkey]

Is the Ps3 version region free?

 

[Flek]

Is the Ps3 version region free?

every single ps3 game is region free So yes it is

@bistromathics & ReXXXSoprano

maybe we can play a bit later !?

 

[bistromathics]

sure...i really don't have any good bnb's down...so maybe i'll hit training or take a break for now

 

[TimeKillr]

I've got it as well.

PSN id is TimeKillr.

Should we create a chatroom for easy matchmaking?

 

[Luckydude23]

Played the first game. I really want this to come over but I know it's next to impossible.

 

[Flek]

i just gone ahead and attet some of you guys, iam online now and will open a room called

MOE GAF (lol)

opening a psn chat is a good idea too!

Why is this the thread consensus? Seems ripe for an Aksys port.

I'll join. I'm killtheflock on psn

edit: wtf, I did something....

 

[shoplifter]

Why is this the thread consensus? Seems ripe for an Aksys port.

How did the first one sell? I bought it, but I have no idea how it did overall.

 

[Flek]

I'll join. I'm killtheflock on psn

hmm you just left the second i whas going to fight you Anyway, gonna leave now too.

But good games @ bistromathics & ReXXXSoprano

but damn ReXXXSoprano you totally kicked my ass. How long did you have the game already?

 

[brollyman2k]

how long is this gonna go on for?? my family is currently watching Ip Man 2 (great movie!) and i gotta wait till they're done watching so i can join up

 

[TxdoHawk]

How did the first one sell? I bought it, but I have no idea how it did overall.

I'm sure it didn't set the charts on fire, that's for sure. But I mean, small print run, encourage pre-orders, etc. Way more obscure things than this have been brought over...stuff like SRPG's that require a hell of a lot more translation compared to this.

 

[Flek]

hmm i don´t know if the room still exists when the host leaves !? Iam out now. Anyway add bistromathics & ReXXXSoprano they can invite you to the gaf psn arcana chat room too

 

[d0c_zaius]

heya I'll be looking to join the room later after work, if people want to play.

PSN ID: zod5000

 

[TimeKillr]

I'm on right now if anybody's interested - id is TimeKillr

We can create a nice big room if there's enough people interested.

 

[danmaku]

Why is this the thread consensus? Seems ripe for an Aksys port.

Aksys ran a poll on their forum a while ago to check interest for new games and AH3 won. That's all we know.

About the EU version, is listed for a June release on HMV and MCV sites. There's no official announcement, though.

Added all the PSN ids from the OP. Except for relll, which might have been Trelll but I could not seem to get it to work.

My game and stick is in but post office is closed on the weekends here and I go back to the field till friday so I can't pick it up till then. I will be up and running next weekend and would love to try out online then.

 

[Flek]
