Should I buy this? My favorite two weapon times are Staves and Claws, but the stats are good and I can afford it (I assume it may be useful for fusing). Is there any point in hoarding money?

Hmm, I'd like to try that, the CCP does change the shape of the shoulders, man, I wish I could hold one in person.

Tried and beat it. Way easier than I thought it was going to be. Another chapter down!
Just beat Chapter
Are you sure? I haven't got to the final level
21 and that chapter pretty much sums the game for me. The air battle part was tense and visually stunning, while the ground stuff was a bland wave based circular map with annoying enemies that like to zip around. Not all the ground based stuff is awful as that level, but I'm always disappointed when Pit goes to land.
Are you sure? I haven't got to the final level
but if it's like Chapter 9, cant you just hit the helmet icon to not use the ultimate weapon?
Yet another quality aspect of this game that is necessary in all 3DS games: the ability to push sound volume beyond 100% in the options screen. 3DS games are way too quiet.

I hate clubs, test a club out before spending the cash
The slow movement and lack of rapid fire is very, very painful
Even though Raichu is my fav fav. I feel Scrafty more closely mimics my quasi- gansta lifestyle (lol). Even got a Sraggy plushy sitting right next to computer as I type. I wonder, what weapon + items combo in KI is the most Scrafty?

Brawler Claws and Black Hole to mimic the Dark/Fighting type.

Holy shit people weren't kidding about chapter 5. Loving the game so far, the amount of content and polish is really impressive.
I only played very little of the original (in the form of 3D Classics), which I found frustratingly unforgiving. But I have really enjoyed seeing references to it in my playtime of Uprising so far, which makes me tempted to stop playing Uprising and try to muster the patience to play through the original first so that I can "get" all the references to it in Uprising.
Haven't tried multiplayer yet.

This game. Jesus Christ, this game. I don't know where to begin.
Okay, so initially I didn't really care much about it aside from it being from Sakurai's team and such. Only recently I started to pay attention to it, and reading up about it in the past few days, I started to become gradually excited.
I also got my launch Vita and was pretty impressed by it, along the line.
After reading a lot about it and browsing a lot of media, I thought, well damn, this looks good, though I'm not one to buy into hype too much. It rarely pays off.
With some difficulty I found a copy of it today (usually I order from Amazon but lolnocopies unless from third-party sellers).
I plunked it into the 3DS cartridge slot, expecting it to be fun, but not so much, because of the impressions of the controls posted everywhere.
Holy shit. Suddenly I didn't care about Uncharted on a handheld any longer - this game is the full package. I quickly got accustomed to the controls, though I admit, they do cramp my hands after a bit. This is like the child of Sin & Punishment 2 and Smash Bros. The gameplay is fast and fun, the difficulty is however difficult you want it to be, the music is amazing, the graphics are colourful, vibrant, and smooth. The DIALOGUE. Oh man, I know it's not Pulitzer-prize level writing, but it suits the universe so well. It adds tremendously to the game, and it's easily the best in-game banter I've heard since Portal 2. Humorous, self-referential, and serious when it needs to be.
Replay value is endless. I haven't even touched the multiplayer yet, but damn. This is easily my favourite 3DS game already, and I've only had it for a few hours. So much to do, so much to collect, weapon combinations, and the ability to just play it the way you want to. Thoroughly impressed. If you're on the fence about getting this, don't be. This is one of the few times I believe the hype has delivered for me. Enormously entertaining. So glad I took the fairly hectic drive to get it.

Oh yea, forgot about that. man, i think the last time I skyped was back when Brawl came out.
i used to think your avatar was a penguin with an afro and then i realized it is not.
Just finished running through the game for a second time and grabbed all the Zodiac chambers. Now to work on the Treasure Hunt by aiming for things directly. Also, though I've now learned to air dodge, I just can't really stand not shooting stuff, so I think that'll be a trick that's just to check off the boxes.
Also, I feel really lucky that I got happened to beat both
and
in Crisis mode by pure chance.
Oh, and how exactly do gems work? I'm a little intimidated by them and don't really want to mess with them, but it looks like several of the things are for them. Do you lose a weapon you convert into a gem or one that you streetpass?
Edit: Also, my completion rate is now above 90%! Yay!

How do I get theClaws? I love the Palms version, so I'm eager to try the Claws.Viridi
I believe you have to clear Chapter 22 without dying, on 5.0 or higher difficulty.
Yeah, I already have a few forms of it, from various stuff on Hades's board. Right now I have both Pursuit and Mech Armor modes (the second one I got by using a feather on Hades's Board on the square for clearing Boss Battle mode on Hard). I also recently got a treasure for the Dog in Chapter 18 by converting 100 weapons to hearts.

Okay, I'll set up an LvD room.
Ah, thank you. It probably won't show up in the normal egg toss, then... Maybe I should feather that one too. :-\

Looks very good to me. The range stars will help a lot since it's a club and the poison and speed bonuses are really nice.
