I have my criticisms but I also wanted to make it as a means of lots of people here to throw out suggestions and stuff.

Do yo need more attention? .... ¬¬
Done until chapter
I played till that part even late in the night, because I felt it necessary to go on with the plot and the game itself. Yes, this game is THAT good.
20. The 18 is just poetry, with the unusual beginning where you are a little girl, then a dog. And this is where you explore what happened to everything. Then, you're Magnus. And while punching enemies back and forth, I start know the madness happened. Then, fight against myself. And so, flight assisted by...Viridi. You start thinking Palutena hasn't helped you for a reason, and then, flying to the ruins of Skyland, you see her...hating you and humans. Poetry. Spectacular, sad and emotive poetry. With a plot twist. Woah.

Ugh no
If people don't mind the frequency of posts about the controls in this thread, than no worries
I got one with 3+ speed. It's crazy how fast i'm running with a huge ass club.
I thought speed and running speed were two different things?
Normal gaffers in your situation have just asked for advice in this thread and have had their control questions answered.
Instead you made a thread on this topic and you have gone on to antagonize those in that thread that are trying to give you constructive advice on control options. Your current post count in that thread as I'm typing this: 29.
Yes, you are an attention whore.

While trying to get achievements, I wish this game had a timer you could see. It would also encourage replay on all difficulties by competing for the fastest time on 9.0 (as an example). Additionally it would make it easier to keep track of time when you try to speed through a level. I made a great error when I had the option to skip the achievement for chapter 9. I used it up on the one that requires less than 35 minutes, than the one thats around 20 something.
I feel like I have gotten worse at those flight levels. I can handle the difficulty on ground much better than in the air. I kinda miss using a club since I could reflect the projectors, which made flying much easier on harder difficulties.

But not cutscenes right? :|
XDDDDDD
I think I saw a help screen that said it was based on the level, with different levels likely to drop different kinds of items. Don't really see it in practice, but oh well.

I love how even when I want to take a "break" from the high intensity action that is this game I just end up using that time to fuse new weapons and listen to music I've unlocked.

Seriously. I just spent 30 minutes listening to
The Ring of Chaos (Ch. 18)
They are really different. S&P2 is completely focused on getting high scores and constanty being dashing to avoid bullets and lazers in a screen full of them, while in Uprising score isn't really important and even in highest difficulties stages aren't as frenetic as the ones of S&P2.
I've to admit that at first I was really disappointed with Uprsing's on rails stages, specially after having played S&P2 recently to ease the waiting, but in a matter of hours I was totally used. First stages aren't really special, really.
Ok, that is probably it then. My weapon is more or less constant, but I have also more or less been playing through the same levels over and over again in order to bear higher intensities.

For me it's always a struggle to convince myself to listen to something other than Magnus' Theme. So... freakin'... good.
Chapter
So awesome. THIS GAME.
Yeah, we need a thread to talk about all the spoilers freely. Seriously.

DAT HORRIFIC MASTER PLAN OF HADES. Ah, and Viridi is so awesome as Pit's companion, especially with the Metr
Viridi: LALALALA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU, DIFFERENT GAMING UNIVERSES, LALALLA

Sorry, I meant cutscenes, but the cutscenes can be passed with the start button. (you will lose a second max by doing so)
I discovered this with the tests I did for the achivement of beating chapter 1 in 4 minutes.
Prepare some huge portions of pop-corn, and be ready to cry for the awesomeness.

I really wondered what could possibly happen in chapter
that'd
be that amazing.
I set my expectations to the most extreme I could imagine.

Played chapters 16-17 last night. This game is so good I just want to giggle while playing. I'm at the point where I like the controls, but they are uncomfortable. I'm left-handed using standard controls, btw.
Dark Pit's music is the best. We all agree, right? Right?! Also, the menu music is amazing.
The Aurum stuff is cool, but hasn't provided the same level of awesome as the air segment with the reset bomb and flying up to that factory.

Just wanted to get my claws out there. I love them *snuggles claws*. I'm at
Chapter 15
I would love a bit more damage output but melee dash attack +3 lets me bring the pain to most enemies and bosses- does something like 120 damage and I can repeat it several times to kill big guys and bosses fast. Also the normal fire range on these things is like 47m! DAT RAPID FIRE too. Petrify is just icing on the cake. I wish it was freezing instead because petrified enemies take only half damage.
The only thing I don't like about the rapid fire, especially in flight mode is that you've really got to keep the stylus trained on what you're killing until it is dead. It's very easy to take an entire mob down to half-life without actually killing anything (then get wrecked by mob attacks) if you're not careful in target selection, and in flight battles they can be moving pretty fast.

So I just made it to Chapter 9. I really haven't been progressing smoothly because I just love replaying the earlier levels. I already know how many chapters
, but I've been completely kept in the dark with the story. Which is great, as the writing and scenario script is awesome stuff.
The prices on those weapons in the shop are just outrageous. You're better off just playing online and hoping to get rare weapons from there. Also fusing.
Also
But the difficulty is what keeps me coming back!
Anyone know about booster packs for cards? I gotta feed my collection addiction.
there are 25 I think?

Also
the chapter with the Reapers on anything above level 7 is just ridiculous. The Reapers deal so much damage and your Health Recovery power does very little to help you
But the difficulty is what keeps me coming back!

I don't believe you are ever forced to engage any Reapers. Palutena tells you in the beginning of the level to stay out of their line of sight (helpful red line is there too) and they won't attack you. There's a room toward the end shaped like a horseshoe with some boxes you have to bust to get out of the room- that one, it can be a little tricky not to get spotted. But in most cases you can just ignore them.
I have been doing the same as you though- replaying the earlier levels over and over again because THIS GAME. But I have noticed that you get much better rewards for playing on later levels than earlier ones at the same intensity, so that has helped motivate me to actually advance the story.
^^^ I bet Transparency could help with Reapers at higher intensities on Chapter 4.
Man, I wish I was playing this game right now. Sooooooooo fun. I completed my second run through Solo last night. Final battle feels even more epic the second time around, and is exhausting at 8.0; wound up dying multiple times so that I finished at 5.0. Do the
appear on all difficulties?
Having gone through the game twice, using different weapons each chapter and aiming for higher intensities, I can definitely say I love all of the chapters, so picking favorites is hard... But I think some of them would include chapters
So yeah, lol.

when im fusing weapons what does it mean "this is part of a set in together mode" what set are they talking about?

So, has anyone figured out what the "Offering" mode even does yet? I've dumped over 100 000 hearts into it with no noticable change :/

It means that you have that weapon set to use online. If you fuse it, it disappears from one of your sets. I know they don't explain it very clearly.
It inverts all your expectations by that point, flips everything on its ear (including level structure: ground, then boss, then flight) and is just one shocking revelation after another (Pit's possessed?! Palutena is now an enemy of humanity?!), not to mention interesting and unexpected gameplay mix-ups (girl --> dog --> Magnus; Palutena and her army as enemies; Pit's possessed body as the boss). I also love the new enemy introduced (Juggernaut), the music, the look of the town under the overcast skies, and the rainy skies where Palutena hurls temples at you.

So I did research on that enemy named Orne that plays that awesome chiptune music when you encounter him, but apparently he wasn't in the original Kid Icarus. Maybe he was in Of Myths and Monsters?
By the way that music is awesome.

Personally, I saw it as a huge turning point for the story, with
Pit's faith in Palutena, the gods and even himself being brought into question.
You also
get to play as Magnus.

Having just gone through Chapters 17 and 18 again on my second run I felt as if Chapter 17 was one of the weakest in the game, Chapter 18 was still top notch as far as i'm concerned.
