Where do you get it?! Out of maybe 100 multiplayer battles, ONCE it was up for grabs and didn't go to me. I was so ARNGRY! I want to spam that stuff like a noob.

For some reason, it feels like some powers can only be gotten in muti, is this true for anyone else?
Also, guys, Item magnet is awesome. Pulls any item to you that's on the field randomly in front of you, got a daybreak using it.

Well, I've played light versus dark for about twenty hours but I did get it relatively early, first try in the roulette.
It goes with basically every weapon. It gives you an oh shit button for long ranges, something to start an air combo with good close range non club melee, and a devastating one two charge shot insanity with clubs.

End game spoilers:
What was the point of Medusa appearing at the end? Seemed pointless.

Thanks Darryl. Ordered it anyway just in case. Only $12 and I only paid half price for the game. Thanks again.

Eh, that was kind of lame.
Wow. It's not like they can add kb + mouse or pointer controls for the 3ds.
Also many posters had the same opinion as you. 5 hours later and lot of them were enjoying the controls.
I know. Will see how it develops. My left hand gets cramped and tired too =/

Just got the game, anybody looking for more friends for multiplayer? It looks awesome.

Erm, what? It wasn't pointless for many reasons:
- We learn Hades was bringing back Medusa as a pawn yet again
- Medusa was sick of it and sought her revenge
- This is awesome since the hero and the nemesis unite against a greater threat
- Medusa uses the last of her strength to prevent Hades from unleashing his full power
- As a nice touch, one of Medusa's arms wasn't even fully restored yet
- She deals a weakening blow to Hades, allowing Pit to take him down with the cannon

All kinds of awesome. Hardly pointless, unless you want to start labeling all the other twist and turns and dramatic out-of-nowhere moments as "pointless."

13 hours later and it's still an issue for me. It's a great game, and I'm able to get done what needs to be done most of the time, but any more than 3 enemies in a room and it becomes a chaotic messin a bad way.
There's definitely a learning curve, but I can't be dismissive of all the skepticism about the controls. It still feels like it's several notches below ideal.
I was really hoping to see
Dark Pit and Viridi/Phosphera show up and help out. Admittedly Viridi was powering your wings while Palutena was powering up the Canon, but...
I think my way of hold the 3DS and the stylus to play this game is weird yet comfy.
My right hand, I hold the UPPER screen by locking it between my middle and ring fingers. Then I hold the END of the stylus with the thumb and the index finger, with the tip of middle finger supporting the stylus from below.

She was there for like 5 seconds and then disintegrated. Okay maybe it wasn't completely pointless, but it was still lame. I thought there would be some big showdown but he just injures her twice and then she's gone. Sure it saved Pit, but only because it was written in a way that Pit needed saving. I thought it was going to be really awesome and you would team up with Medusa or something but she barely did anything. Yes, I agree it was cool that the nemesis and Pit teamed up but she was just there and gone. It changed her character so briefly. They could have done more with that.
Yeah I was kind of hoping for a big showdown involving all the main players. In a way we kind of got that, but honestly I thought the ending could have been done better. It wasn't bad, but I thought there was more potential. Still, it was cool to see everyone rooting for Pit as the game went on, especially after Pit sacrifices himself to save Pitoo.
Well I never said All of the posters now love the controls. For the record, I can't get a copy of KI:U here in my country yet. I don't know how hard will be to adapt to me, but as someone that hates dual analog (but it's actually an okay player on that control scheme) I hope the controls click fast.
The "spinning a globle" thing make me think that is far easier than most say.
Erm, what? I quoted the game, and I spoiler-tagged it. What's the problem? Or are you saying the potty humor joke was lame?
And Fantastical, I see where you're coming from now. I think it works etiher way, including the familiar
"guy out of nowhere taking a shot to give the hero an opening"
a team-up

Actually, to correct you in one point,
Medusa WAS already fully formed by the time she got to Hades. Don't you recall what happened?: She punched Hades while he was firing, causing one of her arms to fly off (you even see it flying off the distance while getting a close up of Medusa). A similar thing happened when Hades blocked the next blow
Idol I unlocked in that chapter for summoning Medusa under 25 seconds
Also, after the end credits,
don't hit any buttons after the screen with "The End" and a feather. After a while you will hear Hades banter again

You messed up your spoiler tag at first.
Always hit preview when you use a spoiler tag.

How did you even see that fast enough? I literally corrected it in two seconds.
I hope no on was spoiled by that split-second mistake. It's not like it was intentional. Jeez.

Thanatos is such a dork. :/
If you
summon Medusa in Chapter 25 within 25 seconds
idol Hades vs. Medusa, which shows Hades getting punched by Medusa
That sounds awesome, and as an idol fiend I must have it, but how do you
summon her faster?

Whatever you people do that are still earlier on in the game, don't spoil ANYTHING! You will thank me later.

Magnus, though his style made me really appreciate how Pit plays and the level of depth is weapons and powers provide. That said, I still think that a side-game perspective from the humans and Magnus would be awesome

It really clicked for me when I replayed it: Magnus' charge attack is a nifty kick/dodge of sorts, and his fighting style forces you to get up close and OTG (to use a Mahvel term) your opponent. Possessed Pit is one of the more challenging bosses, imo, until you manage to get in close and start wailing on him.
I haven't experimented with them much, but the Fairies and the Egyptian Eyeballs (whatever those two weapons were called) served me well in Solo. I like the way Pit spins when he does a side dash attack with them.

Maybe KI:U could get a separate story spoiler thread like FFXIII-2 did?
Just finished it and...
