More like Japanese Pit is psychopathic and American Pit is just serious.

Magnus' Theme might be my favourite track on the OST. The choir melody is so lovely.

I haven't played the game yet (will get sometime in the upcoming weeks), but I have been listening to this track since it was posted on the japanese Kid Icarus Uprising website and it's really catchy. My favorite so far, though I only listened to the songs on the website.

This is the best music in the game, hands down.

Also, Mysterious Invaders is good. Lay down da funk.

I'm fond of Dark Pit's theme and Boss Fight 1 (possibly because it reminds me of the E3 reveal).
I highly suggest that after everyone finishes the game you turn off dialogue for another playthrough, you really get a better appreciation for the music and how it is perfectly timed with the levels.

You can't beat Chapter 8's music. (SPOILERS)

I really really like the track that plays
. I dont know what its called or how to unlock it though
during the on-foot section of chapter 15
That's simply the extension of the American Kirby is mad meme.
Fuck me, I managed to clear chapters one and two on the ninth intensity by the skin of my teeth with my best weapon (Somewhat staff, five star melee and range, overall defense +1, burning +1, health +1 and backward-dash ch. shot +1, valued at 294), and it doesn't feel strong enough. And it was the culmination of twenty-four hours grinding and countless fuses. It's just so discouraging and frustrating...

Got the game yesterday but had to work, played until chapter 2, so good, loving it so far.
I've tried, and the bows seem to be the other weapon I'm comfortable with. Guess I have to face facts and accept I just suck at the game.
Yeah...realizing that I would probably have no hope of moving Pit himself around using a right pad, I've been opting so far to just basically force righty controls. To that extent I haven't really had much problem as far as aiming goes, the bigger issue with me is just finding a way to play that's actually comfortable and doesn't horribly cramp my left hand and thumb. My best solution so far: I actually borrowed the "thumb-shoe" strap from my old DS and wear that on my right thumb while I play, using that to control aiming and also allowing my right hand to help support most of the system's weight. Yes I've probably lost a little bit of aiming precision with this method and spinning the camera to the left is a bit harder than spinning it right, but for me it's worth it for the increase in overall playability.
Try breeding a bow with high evasion, in-peril autododge, and/or speed modifier. You'll probably want to make sure you prioritize the ranged stat as well. Do eetI've tried, and the bows seem to be the other weapon I'm comfortable with. Guess I have to face facts and accept I just suck at the game.
It has a very good feel about it, very refreshing as well.
Love the level of polish, and you can see how it was designed to get the most out of 3D as well. It really adds to the whole experience.
Alrighty, I'll try that.
The fusions are based on specific weapons, not just weapon types. So you need to get the specific weapon before you can fuse it. I think it would be useful to have a guide for how to unlock all the weapons for fusing.
I only know that in
even-numbered levels, there are warps where you can get new weapons.

I think the stars only affect damage, as there is a bonus called Shot Range.

Actually,
Chapter 22 doesn't have one (it's in 23 instead), and the chambers in 14, 18 and 24 contain useful powers instead of weapons.
That's how I feel right now, and unlike some other games, I feel that Kid Icarus will only get better and better even after the "hype" period because all the depth and amount of content it has.
Truly a fantastic game.
Are there other challenges that unlock weapons or are they just in levels? I think I got most of the level ones but my fusion screen still has a good amount of Xs.

Ah, that's what I was looking for.
Thanks for the info! Gonna look into some faqs.
Uh yeah, that's perfect! Thaaaanks!
I've mostly been ignoring this game, but some of the ponygaffers said to check it out, so...
Is this game as good as you're all making it sound? I'm not sure I quite get how it plays, but from what I can tell, it's like if Sin and Punishment had loot? Or, am I wrong about that?

I hope the English cast is a sign of things to come from Nintendo. There's a lot of big (for gaming/animation) names in there. Lots of people with proven talent.
The sky sections are very similar to sin and punishment. The other half has free-roaming gameplay with a lot of shooting. And the loot aspect is amazing.

Only thing that got me there was this.
When you first start in the driving circle thing did you go off that little ramp and get the chest?
Yeah, I did everything with the Exotank!
Both chests, killed the Souflee, I dunno what's up.

Yeah, it's leagues above Metroid: Other M in terms of acting. Perhaps Nintendo learned a lot from that experience.
Part Smash Bros.? I don't see that, but I do like Smash and Sin and Punishment. Never really been a big fan of loot. I have absolutely terrible loot luck in any game with random drops.
The game does look like a bit of manic fun, though. And it seems to have an odd sense of humor.

Also, eyeing that Fusion chart, I'm excited to replay the

I think there are elements of Smash in here, at least in terms of controls and feel.
For one thing, dashing is handled the same way it is in Smash. Beyond that, there's also the aspect of using item pickups to your advantage, and just the general level of craziness and high intensity of the battles.
