I actually got a warp lv. 4 playing with you guys last night.
They stole it from us. My precioussssssssss.
I only got Energy charge for the first time yesterday after 30 or 40 hours of gameplay sooo just takes patience i guess
Total play time ended up being 66:36:13.
I happened to get it while grinding up a ton of matches so I could get the "play 200 matches" thing. I just had it set to nearby, Light vs. Dark, level one comps with 100 health on the small basic arena. Great for grinding through battles quickly (most were over in about 15 seconds), but not good for grinding rewards, as they didn't really show up that frequently. I pretty much just got lucky with Warp showing up (though not lucky enough for eggplant to show up too.)
Thanks, I guess I'll have to keep
killing Gospel
I'm just starting to make my march through single player on 9 intensity and I any reflections you have on your experience with the game.
I guess to start off with, what have you main single player and multiplayer weapons been, or any other weapon classes that you consider to be top tier? I mean both weapon types (e.g. Palms) and specific weapons (e.g. Cursed Palms).
Personally I just fused and fused and fused things up in value until I found things that I liked. I ended up with first a violet palm, and then a Viridi palm, both over 300 value and with +5 defense. I personally preferred to focus on defense followed by range values, as I like being able to take more hits and deal more damage, cutting down on the potential damage done by screw-ups.
As a Palm user, I'm sort of curious to hear your opinions on the dis/advantages of the various worthwhile Palms. Having reached 100.7% completion I'm sure you must have spent time with all 12, no?
I personally prefer Aurum Palms. No/virtually-no homing, great rate of fire, and highest attack power among Palms (as far as I can tell).
The main strength of Viridi Palms is their homing, right? What about Violet Palms. I don't think I've ever even taken a Violet Palm out of the practice room.
I loved the cursed palm. Good homing effects, pretty good melee power, and the charged shots are good as well. I made a pair of cursed palms the day I got the game and i've been using them since.

If you've been keeping up with my posts, you'll know that I love Blades, particularly the Samurai Blade. It just has such strong melee potential, with its combos and dash attacks being both stronger and faster than most other weapons. The only downside is its continuous fire doesn't have much range, and its charge shots (as deadly as they may be) take a little while to prepare.
As for Palms, I personally prefer the Ninja Palm (what is it with me and Japanese-inspired weapons?) Great rate of fire, great charge shots, good melee power, and a quick movement speed. It doesn't really do too much damage, but with quick reflexes and a good power set, you can cherrytap your enemies to death before they even know it.

More demo events are coming in the upcoming Saturdays. Happening at both Gamestop and Best Buy

Violet Palms are great, they've got good homing and a good rate of fire, plus great range.
At 4.5 stars, I get about 25m, almost 50m for a forward dash charge shot.
The homing on Violet Palms and Viridi Palms seems about the same to me, but Violet Palms shots, if not locked on, still have a decent chance of hitting people, since the shots fly everywhere.
Crescent Palms for me. Though I'm solely a Light V Dark player. Use it as an aggressive shield type. During initial rushes its great canceling power gives your side great footing for rushes. And on more open maps I scout thus pesky club users and cancel all of their full level traveling shots. The biggest down side are those select weapons that the crescent don't stop. All staffs from what I can tell and a few bows.

I just cannot beat Chapter 8!
I finally made it to Space Kraken, but I used up all my powers before that...
Seriously, its tentacles also got like super buffed up.
At 8.0, they go down pretty easily, but at 9.0, it's taking me like 30 seconds per tentacle.
I didn't even know the tentacles even did anything before that, I just thought they were filler...

I. feel. your. pain.
In other news, a friend of mine completed all stages on 9.0. Yeah he's a boss, but I think he his "never give up even if I have a paper due" attitude helped him clutch out.
I've completed about 70% of the stages on 9.0. Only a few more to go...
It's not the Space Kraken specifically, but on 9.0, it's definitely not completely easy for me.
If I managed to hold onto Health Recovery, I probably could've beaten it.
On 8.0 it's absolutely nothing, but on 9.0 it's exponentially harder.
The Space Pirates just destroy me completely.

Hi. It's perhaps offtopic but I didn't find the proper thread to ask this.
I'm an owner of a US 3DS but I live in Europe.
I had no problem with that until this 3D Classics: Kid Icarus GameStop exclusive offer came. So, my problem is that I can't order the code of the digital download.
So if somebody can get it for me, I will paypal him/her for that.
Thanks in advance.

Haha, I hate how there's a HUGE gap in difficulty between 8.0 and 9.0.
Damn why did this thread this thread get communitied? Hasn't even been a month

I don't have any cards to trade lol
Beat the Great Reaper on 9.0.
Bastard isn't a problem on lower difficulties but he's much quicker on 9.0 and 1 hit from his scythe takes away half your health even with defense +3....
And the reapettes. The motherfucking reapettes.
Took me like 15 failed attempts to even reach the damn thing until I realized I should stop attacking the reapers and just run past them. Then another 10-15 tries against the great reaper on 9.0 before I finally got past him without dying (in crisis, at that!)

Battling the Great Reaper at 9.0 was very challenging and took numerous tries... and it was also incredibly badass. "Just one more try," I kept thinking. I memorized my approach to the level by the time I finally beat him, and when the screen paused and went white with the finishing blow, I was like "YES!!" A great gaming moment.

It's weird, he's a complete pushover on 7.0 and below, 8.0 he keeps you on your toes, and he's flat out TOUGH on 9.
A good strategy with 9.0 Great Reaper is jumping to the second floor and strafing along the edge and as soon as he sees you, FALL DOWN. Because the moment he sees you on the second floor, he immediately launches an attack that will miss you if you jump down, and probably hit you if you don't.

Yup, I just ping-pong up and down. It sucks if you get disoriented and bounce up too early. -_-
I failed one of the treasures in this game a few times because I kept accidentally stepping on the bouncers while strafing.
How? The game has tons of content, high production values, charm, and is as easy or as difficult as you want it to be.
He has no sense of humor
i found the ground sections very boring and i just never felt a connection to the game.

Ok I will add you as well, thank you.
Still a bit new to the Nintendo way of things.
Huh, Medusa didn't put up that big a fight for a final boss.
Been crafting some weapons, still have some types locked. Got be a nice Crusader Blade at the moment, but I'll probably mix up something different from it soon enough. Three star ranged is pretty nice, though.
And that's because she's NOT. Also, Space Pirate Ship? Well, why not? Pits in Space!Going to take a break now, then it's onwards for chapter 10. I wonder how Pit will manage to lose the Sacred Treasures... No way I get to use them for every map onwards. That would just break the game.

I wish nintendo would just create an online service like xbox or ps3.
and they really need to give kid icarus a party system, so you can play with friends and search in matchmaking.
I tried to add you the other day using the list, stupid me did not realise I needed to give you my number as well.
The more you know.

Hopefully the Nintendo Network will rectify this issue. Nintendo have already stated that they plan to do away with Friend Codes with the Wii U, so hopefully there'll be interconnectivity between the 3DS and Wii U accounts a lá the PS3 and Vita.
Make it happen, Nintendo! We need our IcarusGAF parties!
