Gotta collect them all!
No rules? :-( We got to make something.
On the other hand if you cant buy them anywhere.... buy some off club nintendo and profit profit profit in a few years time
I always keep black hole handy. Good for attacking and fleeing.
It really is the only downside.No rules? :-( We got to make something.

they take the time to make all those cards, designe them, print them, programm the AR-System, not sell them... And what for?
a few in game space bucks and some idols you can unlock anyway.
the card battles are not even worth mentionng. I hope some of them go up in price.
but yeah, that's the only downside so far.
(and because it didn't happen on this page so far...)

Thanks! I'm running Libra Sponge and Black Hole for sure, but what should I do about healing? Are Recovery and Pisces Heal worth it?
You're using the best weapon in the game. JUST HACK AND SLASH
Yeah I could see all those making it in. I'd really like to see a theme to represent
Hades
These themes are already amazing, I could only imaging how the Smash remixes would sound.
I'll bet they'll at least do one medley to cram as many in there as they can.

That's the strategy that I used mere days ago to consistently get at least 2nd pointzs-wise in every match, but when I played today and yesterday I was lucky if I broke 1000 points. Since my weapon hasn't changed and I'm certainly not getting any worse, I'm convinced I'm just not using my powers correctly. The only problem is that with Black Hole, Libra Sponge and Effect Recovery in my grid at once, I can't really fit any other powers. Gorammit, I'm a linguist, not a geometricist!
Samurai Blade (271)
Ranged: 5
Melee: 3.5
Knockback defense +1
Confusion +2
Item attack +2
Speed -1
All I really use is my shitty heal and Effect Recovery. Invisibility is useful I guess and the one that lets you run forever.
The Basics:
Each player has a deck (called Armory) of cards (20,30,40 or 60 cards):
Draw 6 cards
Place 3 cards upside down on the playing field.
Move one card forward to signify its the lead card, the two remaining cards are in the backup/support cards.
The Turn:
The Turn Is divided into 3 Phases:
Phase 1:
Drawing cards from the Armory (Deck)
The player must have 3 cards in there hands at all times, the person may not have less cards or more cards. In order for the player to draw a new card or two new cards into there hand one or two cards must be put in to the underworld pile.
Phase 2 - Modification phase:
:: Player has the oppertunity to swap one of there two support cards, for one of the three cards in there hand. However he may not swap the lead card for one of the cards in his hand.
:: The player can also swap the lead card for one of the two support cards, however both of the lead and support card chosen for the swap this turn cannot be swapped for the cards in the player hand in the same turn.
Phase 3: Attacking
:: The player may challenge the opponents lead card, however the other player may swap his lead card for one of the two support cards.
:: In order to attack both cards have to be flipped (face upwards) - once revealed the cards can not be hidden.
:: Defeated card have to be placed into the underworld pile.
Winning or Lossing
Option 1:
:: For every card defeated 1 life point is deducted from the oponent, however for every card that you defeat one point is added to you. Each player starts of with 3 life points.
:: If a player has no more cards to play they automatically loose.
Option 2:
:: Each player starts with 10 lifepoints, for every card they loose in the challenge one lifepoint is deducted.
:: If a player has no more cards to play they they automatically loose.

How Does this sound? What would you guys change?

Heart Bonus -1
I delibrilately fused the negative heart bonus onto it just so it would have better stats. I love how fast and strong the melee combo is; it lets me adopt a "touch-em-real-quick-and-go" strategy while still dealing upwards of 200 damage per combo.

Ineffective spoiler is ineffective
Game needs some resource management. You could maybe use Goddess Power or something, heh.

It was a joke, man. Plus it doesn't really count as a spoiler, because it's in the second chapter of the game, and I'm pretty sure everyone saw it coming from a mile away.
I still have to wait a week to play the game, =/ . Well, there are worse things that I've spoiled myself in other games. u.u

For me every ad on gaf is a KI:U ad lol.
I'm wanting to think that I read he is the official Nintendo Pit cosplayer.
Ohhhh man! Just beat chapter
on 9.0 It was INTENSE. Used up most of my powers getting there (took sooooo many tries), and then I used up the rest in the battle and won after about 15-30 seconds in crisis/almost crisis mode. So glad I don't have to do that level again (though I'm pretty sure at least 2-3 of the later ones will prove to be greater pains.) Even got the boxes for doing the chapter without dying (5.0+), and the one for doing it on 9.0 with a palm (thank god my go to weapon is a palm!)

That heart. That friggin' heart. That little bugger is by FAR the most frustrating boss in the game, and was the most difficult (next to maybe Pit's Body) for me to beat on 9.0. His stupid spammy charge attack makes me want to pull my hair out.

I'm almost at the end of the game.
I can't believe that there's no online trade feature like Pokemon's GTS. It would be perfect for trading weapons with hearts or gems or other weapons.

I'm sure. You can actually use the system as kind of a fail-safe of sorts, as you can create a gem of a good weapon you want to fuse, give it to your friend, have him change it back into a weapon, and then give it back to you. Sure, it takes a few hearts, but it's not a bad idea.

im left handed. i refuse to use my right fucking hand to do things it wasn't meant to do since i'm inferior. so i used some good old fashioned ingenuity and some cvs tooth floss picks, ripped off the gum stimulator/shit remover, curved the end in and made my own mini dip stick. works good

Transparency or Play Dead is a must for sneakong past enemies you're not comfident enough to defeat, Ares Armour is useful for bosses, and Brief Invicibility is useful in many situations. Health Recovery may or may not be useful to you depending on how reckless your playstyle is, but it can save your life in a pinch (as can Status/Crisis Recovery).
Hmm thanks. I've been going for offense oriented skills but I guess it makes more sense to go for defense.
When I created a gem it asked if I wanted to activate streetpass.any tricks to getting streetpass to work? Do I have to enable it somewhere? I've created a weapon gem on mine and my brothers 3ds but they've been sitting next to each other in sleep mode for about 10 minutes with no street pass

I don't think I've been this enamored with a game in a long, long time. The level of polish and high production values are simply astounding, especially for a handheld title. Here's my current favorite track from what is sure to be the soundtrack of the year. When the chorus kicks in, goosebumps all over.
