I'm sorry, but this was unavoidable.
On a serious note, I'm with Nub; it would be a blast to make random people rage quit with the power of GAFteamwork. Please, Iwata. Don't let us down.
EDIT: Oh, and room's open.
EDIT2: Room temporarily closed due to life being a jerk. Will be back open soon.

DLC to let you play any level as any character in the game. Or a DLC-sidequest to play as certain villains to show what they were doing while Pit was doing XYZ. /dreams

Come on, Iwata, reveal the bulky DLC missions we all crave...
Man...
He's just the ultimate gift that keeps on giving. If it's DLC stages for solo mode i'll cry, I'm serious guys.
;_;
Hmm.... Ya got me Sakurai.... I'll tune in.
I don't think Kid Icarus is DLC-capable. I mean, Nintendo made a big deal about Fire Emblem being the first game to support DLC, right?
Either way, I'd pay good money for additional solo stages. Or, better yet, an aerial dog-fighting multiplayer mode.
My first impressions with the controls is that they're not bad at all, but moving with ABYX is going to be a big fat no-no, which is something I hoped I could do. So, as a lefty I'm having some trouble aiming with my right hand but I guess I can teach myself how to do it... Also, I'm using the stand sitting here in my desk and I think it's great. I really haven't tried it without it but I'd guess it won't be too difficult to find a good position to play without it.
If the CCP Pro wasn't a mythological thing impossible to find around here that would be my solution.
So far so good, though!

I'm re-opening my LvD room if anyone wants to join. my friend code is near the bottom of the list in the OP.
I'd love to join, but I have to now write a 2 1/2 page essay for my music class that is due in 3 hours

It's okay. I had to write a thesis during a bus ride last month, so I know that feeling well.
Welp, it's been over half and hour since it was opened, so last call for LvD before I close up shop for tonight.
EDIT: And the gates... go... shut. Anyone want to set a time for tomorrow that isn't between 12 and 2 PM EST?

Haha, so Nintendo Direct showed the use of the fireworks power!
It gives you invincibility frames.
And all this time I thought it was worthless

What's the star for next to each weapon when you pick weapons to equip?
The stars? They tell you the rating in the ranged/melee stats for the weapon
think of filled in stars as +1, non filled in stars as +1/2
Can go up to +6 in each of melee and ranged for each weapon.

I just started playing this, and while the game is clearly fantastic, I am terrible at it (I have never been good at this style of game, aside from Star Fox 64). Any tips for not sucking so badly? I just finished chapter 5.
Are you still not used to the controls? Try using Palms if your aim really sucks; they generally have great homing ability (plus they're awesome). Go into the control options and fiddle around. I like to have sensitivity and stopping speed at maximum, and Use Power set to D-pad up so it's easier to reach.
Do you have problems with air battles? Land battles?
In air battles, moving in a circle and shooting everything in sight is basically enough to get you through lower difficulties. USE YOUR SPECIAL ATTACK with the D-pad. It's better to use it too often than not at all. Also, clubs can reflect projectiles as their continuous fire, making you safer.
In land battles prioritize avoiding damage over killing things. Watch the enemies' behavior and be ready to dodge. I dash shot everything mindlessly at first until I realized the long recovery time was getting me punished. Use dash shots only when it's safe to do so.

I'm sorry, I meant the yellow stars(only after pressing it to the left of the weapon, bottom screen).
Oh hey thanks for pointing that out, I never noticed it. It's a "favorite" mark. Seems like if you mark that weapon it stays near the top of your list, just under your currently equipped weapon. That way you never have to wade through the sea of weapons you might keep for fusion just to find the ones you actually use.
- Clubs deflect bullets in air battles.
- When fusing, try to make sure your weapons keep good attributes. Health, Defense, Heart Bonus, etc.
- Dodging in air battles reflects smaller shots.
- It's hard, if not impossible, to dodge out of a run. Try to stick to walking when enemies are nearby, so you can dodge at a moment's notice.
- Try to fuse weapons with values that complement their play-styles. Claws benefit more from high melee. Orbitars benefit more from high ranged.
- Unless a gate is blocked off, you can often avoid fights by proceeding to the next area.
- Multiplayer is a good way to get new weapons for fusing.
Cleared chapter
. Not an omnious ending at all. And I'm beginning to see why the spoiler thread is called Tengen Toppa, because I
And I bet the game will keep escalating.
I think I have a decent weapon to play solo with at the moment, here take a look:
Angel Bow
Ranged 3, Melee 1.5
- Overall Defense +1
- Burning +1
- Shot Homing +2
- Speed +1
Could be better of course, but this bow seems to do the trick. Even if it shoots pink hearts. I play on 3.0 so I don't get killed when listening to the dialogue. I'll replay at a higher difficulty later.
Are we still spoiler tagging chapter numbers, by the way?

Did anyone bother to go to a Best Buy store that was having a Kid Icarus related event today? I'm curious as to what cards that handed out
Foil random packs. I didn't go, though.
Wow, i didnt even know there was one or I would have went. I was about 2 minutes away from one

Yep, you was right
10 random cards in each pack. The store also had the latest issue of the Gamer magazine which included 3 AR cards:
Pit (Rally Cry)
Goddess of Calamity, Pandora
Samurai Blade
And I managed to scan a whole bunch of cards from someone who had at least 60+ cards
The only problem I have with the controls is that the L button is too damn small anyone thinks the same? Lol. I adjusted at the ground controls just fine, I was seriously expecting worse, I think they're great, even.
I can tell I'm going to take a while finishing this game. I'm just at chapter 4 but I've already replayed previous chapters several times. The higher intensity is really noticeable. This game is so damn addicting D: and loving the banter so far. I always knew I was going to love the dialogue.

The Hori 3DS Wheel is both an amazing grip and expands the shoulder buttons to a very ergonomic size. I almost always play with it on, when I'm at home.
