It varies. I'd go so far as to say that about 80% of my matches have been good on that front but I almost always host and, based on past experience, I expect most other 3DS users don't have their routers in order and ruin everything for everybody.

2621-2608-3510
I've been playing 4 player versus pretty exclusively today and yes, many times its unplayable......but every now again everyone has a good connection and it flows

B-b-but the order! D:
I will underline new additions to make them stand out easier.
Can anyone tell me about the different stats? I don't have the game manual with me atm and Google is failing me
Hit the home button, click on instruction manual at the bottom of the screen, goto the page about leveling up.
Did I just blow your mind?

So, I went to my Gamestop to throw down $5 on Zone of the Enders HD Collector's Edition and I was told I could pick up my Code of Princess reservation. I was considering cancelling the game because I'm pretty fucking broke at the moment, but to my surprise I had it payed off! I guess when I had money (lol) I was trying to pay off games that were closer to release. I picked it up so here's my friend code!

Is there a voice cast list anywhere yet?
After you get to her.
She unlocked for free play, but not in campaign for me.. This goes for Master T and Tsukikage as well.
Ah thanks, thought my game was broken or something. Looked like there were more slots available under the 4 current campaign characters.
Added you. Wanna co-op? My lobby password is 2070

Super Armor ftw.
The only co-op mission available to me that I haven't cleared is the final 2P "protect the villagers" mission. That's going to be rough unless I partner up with a healer, 'cause that villager AI is dumb as bricks.

If you're available search for my lobby. Enter password 0645.Well I got 99 Hel on me if you wanna bang it out
In this stage there are two villagers starting on opposite sides of the screen. Divide and conquer at the start and then check up on their HP when you can.
Ahh sorry. Was too focused on progressing in the solo campaign to check the thread; and now I'm going to bed!
Such a great fucking game! Just got to the tower after farming Baku a few times! Got much loot and 2 levels on repeating that mission!
Solange is level 32 now!

Here are my guesses for the other characters:
Ali - Cindy Robinson (totally sounds like her boyish roles)
Zozo - Michelle Ruff
Allegro - Yuri Lowenthal

I bought it yesterday and have been enjoying it quite a bit despite how much shame the character designs bring me, haha. I wasn't really digging it at first and kind of regretted purchasing it at full price, but I've warmed up to it.
I've been mainly playing Ali. I like how fast she is and you can land some sick combos if you use her right. She has a couple of pretty useless techniques though.
Still, this game isn't perfect. I never been a fan of 3D models turned into 2D sprites, no matter how well animated they are. Slow-down can be annoying. The way things are structured mission-style as opposed to being one, flowing world is irritating to me. Online is laggy and some things feel unfinished or janky. I think that all of this is simply a result of the game being a very early 3DS game in Japan though.
Overall, I'm enjoying the game, but those nagging issues can really add up over time. I may sell this one when I'm finished with it if anyone is interested. Still, I'm not that far, so we'll see.

I love this game. This is the first time in months that I've drained my 3DS battery in a single sitting. I would still be playing right now if I had a charger on hand.
Some thoughts:
- I'm not finding the plane switching to be very useful. Since the enemies always come to you (once they realize you're there), my strategy is to wait in the middle in a guard stance, have them gather around me, then start a burst and combo them all.
- The game is decidedly rather easy. For the first 10 or so levels, I boosted nothing but the attack Stat and had no issues. I've now added some points to vitality, speed, and piety, but attack is still my primary Stat for Solange by a large margin. I haven't experimented with the other characters yet.
- I had some difficulty with one of the bosses around Lvl 20. At first I thought it might be my build since it's so skewed in favor of offensive strategies, but then I employed some blocking and was able to take him down without issue.
- I really like the characters. The writing is witty and does an excellent job of imbuing each character with a distinct personality. As others have said, the game benefits from poking fun at itself.
- The game looks great in motion. I haven't noticed any slowdown in 2D campaign and the characters animate well.
Overall, this is a very solid addition to the 3DS library. I would recommend it to anyone on the fence, even those without prior experience with beat-em-ups. The game exudes charm and the combat feels great. The game is not at all hampered by the mission structure. For me, it gives it that "just one more" quality.
I really wish I had a charger right now

Hopefully we get a sequel, however I'd like it to stay portable. These icky 3D/Polygon graphics look better on portable screens. At higher resolutions and larger displays they look like garbage.
Same thing for Ikkitousen on PSP, which IIRC was also polygon models.
Honestly after seeing so many awful images of this game I was prepared for the worst, but it managed to work out on the 3DS.
Plus since other companies are hellbent on not earning my money, Agatsuma can keep taking it.

Plane switching has some recovery, so you can bait a lot of the grunts and some bosses by forcing them to switch to catch up with you.

In online co-op I can only choose from the four campaign characters, Tsukikage and Master T, and 2 ??? ( just haven't gotten that far).
However, I hosted a co-op online game and someone was playing as some old grandma lady......am I overlooking where I can choose from all the other characters in online co-op or is that something that gets unlocked later?

I'd say they were models, rendered into a spritesheet. Easiest to tell by the very 2D-style animation, and the fact that you never see different angles of the same attacks.
I got it! I got it! Yay! I only played a few short quests so far. I'm surprised, the game is really funny. Lots of hummor, and crazy shit. Pretty fun. It'll take a while to dig in to the actual mechanics though. The script and voices are pretty good, and I'm digging the music too. Too bad about the terrible compression in the video scenes though, lol.
Finished the campaign last night with Solange. A few comments:
- Really fun overall, and lots to do if you want to play/level other characters.
- The dialogue is surprisingly good. Though, Juppongi talks way too slow.
- It's odd only having access to the same 4 members of your group during the campaign.
- I feel like the whole game could move 1.5-2x faster. Framerate isn't that great either.
- Why is there no practice mode?!
- This is a complaint for many games for me, but I hate not being provided with detailed information about what each stat/skill does.
- Sprites are nicely animated, but the 3D models ->2D sprites lack some character. They are very blurry up close, and it's clear the source 3D models weren't that detailed to begin with.
- Looking forward more!

bad gameplay lol
Did you play with the 3D on? Turning it off makes a HUGE difference.

Finally got it. Combat does feel really slow, and I'm going blind trying to see what's going on in the back row on a non-XL 3DS. Hard to put down though, and once I got the hang of Zozo, everything's clicking for me. Really enjoying it so far.
Tutorial explains what each stat affects.

I didn't see an option in the menu so I just turned it off with the slider. I didn't see an immediate difference so kept it in 3D the rest of the time. Though visually, I much prefer the game in 3D, partially because I dislike the 3DS display in 2D mode.
