Hm, maybe I actually have to start doing that. The tutorial recommends it, but it's something I've kind of been avoiding.
Yeah, it's like that for any game. DLC compatibility is restricted by region.

Yeah, just didn't know if it was any different with an Arc System game because it's so cross region already with language and online.

Is s.P into knockdown really the only good string Zato has at close range? I know he has P, S, HS, Drill at super close range. But HS doesn't connect farther away.
Edit: Flux, want to play our bracket matches?
Seasons would make me happy, too, since I wouldn't need to buy anything to stay up to date.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
This game is awesome, but it reminds me how bad I am at fighting games. Some of the combos are so hard to pull off. Maybe a fight stick would be easier than a DS4...
If you've never bought an arcade stick---be warned: there is a learning curve with it.
I remember when I first bought my TE2 from MadCatz thinking I was going to be the bomb at SF4 once I had it. WRONG! It was like taking 20 steps backwards. I had worse execution right out of the gate.
I looked up a few online guides/videos of how people held their sticks, placed fingers for buttons, etc. I hit up training forever in SF4...and I still couldn't get the motions I needed to come out like I wanted.
I was about to just go back to pad, then I saw an octogate for the stick was like $5.00 online and was reading some people had a WAY easier time using that then stock square gate. Figured why not try it and rule everything out, and sure enough that was my ticket to way better execution.
Not long after I was doing whatever combos I needed consistently(minus 1 frame link stuff...fudge that), and all was right in the world.

TL;DR- A stick won't make you better at fighters unless you are ready to commit serious times to it and the game of choice.
Oh, you mean for Smash? Yeah, if you're available.

Still available?
Yeah, getting online now since it seems you are as well. I'll have to re-add you, though, since I think I had deleted a bunch of people off my FL since I added you on the Wii U.
Oh, and an hour into Mission 14 and I still haven't cleared it. Maybe I need to actually plug my headphones in and listen; maybe sound cues are what I'm missing.
Hm, I'll chalk it up to dividing my attention, then. But harder missions? That's something to look forward to, heh.
Took me about 4 trys to pass. I find missions like 19 a lot harder.
Ya, a lot of missions after the reversal mission make you input a a command immediately after waking up.(i.e. after being knocked down immediately jump and air grab the opponent) Unlike the reversal mission, you dont have a 2f buffer to help you.
I found with mission 14 that inputting the reversal before you wakeup and in a clean motion with a double tap helped get it out very consistently.
Mmm. I'll have to take a look then when PSN is back up.

Played around a bit more today, sat through story mode, best anime I've seen in awhile thats for sure haha. Got Sin unlocked and did a few missions. Weird mode since it starts a lot of them for you but gives no exact indication of when you are in control which is lame. Made it to the hit confirm thing before stopping since I did not really get what they were asking me to do.
Still have not found that character yet, but digging I-No but having a hard time doing dash into slash heavy slash consistently from a short distance. Bedman is fun as well, really like him more than I thought.

This mission is next to impossible for me as well. I've only gotten bandit revolver to connect once and I dont even know how.

My copy refuses to boot up Error code CE-34878-0. Have followed the recommended delete application and reinstall yet alwyas fails to load after Sol Art. Patch is nearly done downloading maybe thats why?

Turn off online.
Can't you just hold up?!
hold up and then immediately do an airgrab. If your airgrab is off by just a frame it wont come out.
Don't think it's a one frame window, I have an S in that mission when I still can't get an S in 14 and can't even complete mission 24! Or maybe it's the visual cue, you can easily know when to grab by checking out Sol's jump height!
For an air grab? I don't think that's right. I'll try whatever mission that is right now and see.
Thanks. Just passed it on my second try with an A; that isn't even close to being a 1f window. I'd be extremely surprised if someone couldn't do that trial consistently, but could do mission 14 without problem.
That's nuts. I'll try mission 14 again right now and see if something's changed.
Edit: Nope, still can't pass it after countless attempts. I wish I could just go online and play some games.
Well I only did both trials until I passed them. Mission 14 I finished in about 4 tries with an A and mission 19 took me around 10 tries and I ended up with a B.

Building up your chops with blocks, roman cancels, basic movement control, basic attacks and specials will improve your game far more than learning combos will, especially if you're self-professed "bad at fighting games". Leave combos to the youtube videos and just get gud w the basics.
Fight stick will be harder at first, actually, but it is a more accurate piece of equipment when it comes to registering your inputs.

It's like BlazBlue minus the suck.
I am thinking about getting the digital version though that appears to still be an issue.

Yeah.
I mean it's like 8gb or so right? So not exactly a large download...

I like Slayer's design for the most part. He's not a very shenanigans character, and has a hard time with a lot of the cast...but if you get that precious knock down or a dust up into the air, you're right back in there.
I'm just ass with him compared to Venom...which I wish wasn't the case since Slayer is such a cool designed character.
I miss big bang upper so much. I wish there was an equivalent to force breaks in this game. Or if they put them back in.
its like 4-5
Oh shit even smaller... Hm... I guess my only last wonder is the amount of characters. 15 seems small- is there at least a huge difference between them?
Hellshingu

Yes quite a difference. No one character plays exactly the same and there's more variety in this smaller roster than most other games with 40+. It's one of the reasons I enjoy guilty gear over games like SF4.
Not sure if anyone's still looking for it, but Elphelt's theme is on YouTube again. No idea for how long though, since the track kept getting pulled before.

So it blows?
Arc is on point when it comes to taking down any song from Xrd lately.
Very much so. Also up for the time being, Big Blast Sonic.

Yeah, I tried a fight stick once, at a friend's house. I did notice my skill level immediately plummeted, haha. I can see them being super useful once things start getting taken to the highest levels of play, though.
Also, Leo is a great character. I was expecting a big, slow, hard hitting Potemkin-like character, but he's actually very balanced. Plus, his stage is worth it alone.
To Be Continued in story mode... it's like they knew they'd be making 3+ more iterations of this game! /sarcasm
