Kid Icarus Uprising |OT| On a Wing and a Prayer
- Thread starter Exterminieren
- Start date
Buy on American Gamestop site, as long as you have an American address to bill to. Or just wait, as it'll probably be available on eShop / Gamestop.ca eventually.
I'm not sure of how tightly region locked the 3DS eShop is, can you use the code that GameStop is currently selling?

FRIDAYS FRIDAYS FRIDAYS BE THERE BE THERE BE THERE.
For the record, I'd totally be down for this. I've been spending a lot of time on assignments and such lately, and I'd love to take a break and just have fun every once in a while.
EDIT: I think that we should also make official LvD teams for fun. Who wants to join Team Scrafty?
On the weekend I should have a team of 3 already but a lot of the times it will be just me and my brother. We'd be happy to join Team Scrafty.

League games could be fun. Dunno if there's enough interest out there for it though?
Think it would be helpful to have an IRC chan set up somewhere though, both for setting up games and mid-game communication. Wish this had MK7's community feature so getting something set up wasn't so cumbersome.
I just bought Xenoblade yesterday. I've been completely dark on the game, have no clue about any of it, so I can't wait to play.
Wow, another reason for me to hate on the game.

Anyone currently actively playing Kid Icarus for some hours? I rarely find anyone logged on from those I added from the big ass list. Still have like over 25 people who hasn't added me back .

Just added all the people behind me on the list (from Marcus down). Other should add the newbies.
Goodness. Only 23 out of 81 people have added me.

This might be common knowledge, but I didn't realize until recently that you earn points for running on the ground (when able to) during the flying sections
Totally didn't know this, thanks for the tip. I only recently discovered you could walk on the flying hydra after going back and watching the original KI:U reveal trailer from E3 a couple years back, but I didn't know there were ground portions I could run on.
Speaking of that trailer, Palutena sounds like a robot in it by comparison with how she sounds now.

That'll come in handy for some of the score achievements.
One thing I just learned is that you can do a dash melee attack by dashing forward and pushing backwards on the circle pad + the L button. It's useful for those times you can't risk getting too close to an enemy for the crosshair to change.
Huh. For the "Knock all guards in the trench simultaneously" I tried setting off a mega laser instantly, and saw all 4 fly up, then blasted the thing to death once the shield went down. And yet I didn't get the accomplishment. Huh. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?
Also, what qualifies as a "dash melee attack" for the things that require beating bosses with it? I tried doing a dash forward and attack within melee range on
, but it didn't count.
Oh, and I'm now finding some serious hatred for "don't get damaged" things. They take feel sooooo long and then an enemy launches an unexpected attack or a bit of the environment taps you and that's it.

Done, check the doc at the bottom of the OP for my code.
Increase aiming speed for both flight and ground to maximum speed for both horizontal and vertical. Also, increase the camera stopping speed to the maximum. BAM. Perfect control.

Nice game Gospel, sorry I had to run.
I just woke up so I was too groggy, I want more rematches!

Aww yeah. Full house, let's do it!
For sure! I think those were probably the best matches I've had in this game. You should stayed for at least one, though! But yea, I definitely want more rematches
Thanks! Just changed them. Will try it when the 3DS finishes charging.
Just to be clear, you want it so the camera stops on a dime. I just want to make sure I'm understood correctly. Your mileage may vary but it worked extremely well for me. Short, quick flicks to minutely and precisely adjust the camera on the fly.

I'm missing a link. Someone a bit back in the thread linked a list or catalogue of the AR cards, but I'll be damned if I can find that post again.
Anyone got it? I'm curious about the size of this set and what's all in it.

Looks like i missed out on some good games again
You bros gonna be on tomorrow? I may host an ffa
I'll be ready to
If one thing's for sure, it's that GAF FFAs are always very interesting.
Yea, viridi palms with transparency would be really goo in ffa.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Woa Light vs Dark is a terrible mess of a mode. How did this make it in it's current form? Unless I'm missing something - its possible I am, I just got the game recently - but how does one even distinguish who an ally and who an enemy is? It's also insanely unbalanced. And you die so quickly. I... can't wrap my head around it.
It's very hectic. You pretty much need a decent weapon and some good powers to be able to just survive. I would recommend the play dead or transparency powers if you want to not be targeted and taken out constantly when you're starting.

I understood, so far, they seem good (or better at least). Thank you.
Shoot people. Don't get shot.
Try the local multiplayer with bots. You can get weapons this way too!
Enemies have brackets over their heads, and their text is orange instead of white, and they're either black or white, depending what side you're on.
It's a bit unbalanced, but you can land on teams with stronger people, so it balances out decently, IMO. I've enjoyed it as much as any multiplayer online game in ages.
Yah that probably has something to do with it. Remember, the weapons are the characters. When the match starts, take a look at that bottom screen to see what weapons your enemies are sportin. The weapon symbol shows up a lot sooner than the enemies name in red.
