Was there a Spotpass gem for 6/12?
never got one

Aaaaah, another one who has just started. You can't even imagine what you'll see, my friend. Be ready for everything. And when I say everything, I mean LITERALLY everything.

Ah okay. I wont worry about it too much then, I'm still missing some stickers in Smash Bros, so that shows that I have bad luck.

Nice. This game deserves that amount of time! I think I'll be playing for a while anyways.

Well it's friday and I'm back into KI like a madman. If anyone wants to play with me, just reply in here and I'll set up a room.
A good Eyetrack Orbitars user is quite possibly the worst thing to ever encounter online.
Ended up running into this one guy who was in permanent beast mode with the thing. If he hadn't left the game after schooling my team thrice in a row, I prolly would've rage quit. makes me shake just thinking about it, lol.
My staff can cancel out his shots but his orbitars has a high range and homing modifier on it tho, so it's like I have to somehow out-charge him with my shots and at the same time keep in perfect range for my shots to hit him.

I still have nightmares from this one game I played with an eyetrack orbitar user.
He had 330 value eyetrack orbitars, one hit killing everyone through walls. It had +4 shot homing. Literally impossible to escape from.
Through walls? god man, you should be glad he didn't have invisible shots on too because at that point the only escape is to just quit, lol.
Yea, I forgot exactly what powers he was using, but it was on the lava map, and he would just stand in the center of the map invincible (from one of his powers) shooting people whenever he wanted to because of the range and how small the map is.
Funny, the lava map was one of the maps he murked me in.
I declare Eyetrack Orbitars Metaknight-tier in this game.
When I want certain mods on my weapons I just make sure both parent weapons share the same mods. Following that habit is really helpful in building weapons that have the mods I want on them. It's when I get greedy that the system falls apart lol.I wish I knew how to fuse good weapons. All my weapons suck
I have been looking for a way to get some consistent practice and matches in Kid Icarus.
It seems that organizing teams of 3 v 3 is not easy. So we have to do a bit of work ourselves.
If anyone knows of any tools that other communities are using for Kid Icarus, I'd love to hear about it. Otherwise, I have a google calendar that I've set up just for posting Kid Icarus availability throughout the week. It's public and if I share it with you, you'll be able to post on it freely. Just PM me with your gmail and I can add you to the calendar. Otherwise, you can simply email me or contact me some other way for me to update it for you. I'm fine either way.
I think a calendar set up would be ideal here. This way we wouldn't have to look through posts to see who's playing. Also calendar organizes all of the time zone stuff. Notice how I've already set up a time window for when my team will be ready to play.
I have a lot of experience organizing tournaments and other gaming events. So if you'll work with me a bit, I can make this smoother for anyone who wants to play.
Thanks

I think the main reason it's so hard to find matches is because this OT is basically dead.
There needs to be an official 3DS thread on the gaming discussion side, that way you have all of the 3ds users checking it out and it would be easier to find people to play.
But I do agree with you Hadji, the calender is a great start, and if you could pass it around through all of the communities (IcarusGAF, NWR, etc.) then it would be really helpful.
I just added you from that calender as well. I haven't played this game in a while, but i'm looking to start playing it again. My FC is 5155-3032-4812 if you want to add me back.

I will do my best to let different communities know about it. I'm still wondering if there's a better solution that combines the calendar with an always-open group chat so that everyone looking for anyone knows where to look. I think that would be another important feature. I'll look into it.
I'll add you when I get home. Haven't played much in a while either.
A 3DS OT in gaming side would be perfect. I don't know if anyone would make one though.
Not everyone has a NeoGaf account. And indirect conversation is hard to work with when trying to coordinate matches and the like.
I'm sure a 3DS OT would help a lot though. hmm
Didn't think about that, good point. I can't really think of anything else that has an open group chat whenever you want to use it.
If youre left handed, use the CPP. If youre right handed, dont.
It was built in too late in the development cycle so its really only for left handed players.
I see. Right-handed here...
Ah well, I can use the CPP for Kingdom Hearts and other games.
I mostly played my 3DS on the train and this game doesn't lend itself well to trains. Played Resident Evil and Mario Tennis instead.

Nice of Nintendo of Japan to acknowledge new AR cards that are coming soon. If only NOA did the same thing
The calendar I made is here.
Some of us are hanging out for hour or so if anyone else want so play. Group chat here:

I'll be sure to be available Friday evening for the event
Ill try to make it. I havent played this game in a while, would be nice to play. Ive still got to beat every mission on 9.0 intensity as well. Im probably the only guy in the world who has 100+ hours played and I only have 3 missions beat on 9.

Hello, friend. Welcome to our community.
Welcome. I think the best way to play with us is to check the calendar and enter the chat room when there's an event. This Friday looks like there will be 6 of us playing.
This is what my current setup looks like:
I use a staff primarily and it's the setup that has worked great for me after a ton of tinkering.
I take pictures of each setup i've used before and they're all pretty different but have served different purposes. So if you would like me to post more if the above doesn't work for you, i will.
Try a high speed low inertia setup.
And practice, practice a lot, it's likely that you won't get the controls right away. It's like learning to use Dual Analogs for the first time.
I also recommend this setup. Make sure to put your y-axis speed on the slowest, too, so you won't make your reticle go up and down by accident while flicking the stylus.
By the way, I just finished the very last chapter. Wow, what a ride! And it seems I still have plenty of stuff (I mean *plenty*, seriously) to do, I'm impressed.
I never learnt how to use dual analogs or even keyboard + mice. ;_;
I can't play 90% of all shooters when I use a monitor or TV. I get really nauseous or sick a lot of the time so I just tend too avoid them. I get the majority of FPS gaming from handhelds (so basically none). I could strangely play a lot of pointer based FPS without getting sick also (Metroid Prime Trilogy, The Conduit 1/2, Red Steel 1/2). My FPS experience began with Metroid Prime Hunters, and then expanded to Metroid Prime Trilogy (once I learnt I didn't get sick from it), and eventually some more Wii shooters. It might be because I focus more on the actual reticle when playing that I don't get sick. Hopefully Wii U games use pointer controls too or I'll never get to play good shooters.
Wow. I went off on a random tangent there. Anyway I'll try out the game some more and hopefully I'll find something that works. Thanks for the help.

In the next Kid Icarus game that comes out in another twenty-five years, I want them to do something with Palutena's "Power of Caging!" from the anime short.
Maybe she can use it to capture some GOOD slaves.
...like me. :x
