So, i'm mostly trying to play through without spoilers (Just starting Devilot's stage now), but I have some questions about character references/Cameos i'd like answered:

Do any of the following series/characters appear either as assists/cameos or as fighters?:
Namco: Klonoa, Pacman, Bravoman
Sega: Sonic, Alex Kidd, Segata Sanshiro (Longshot on the last one, I know.)
Capcom: Viewtiful Joe, Mike Haggar, Anyone from Power Stone.

Just want something to look forward to, is all. (If they aren't in, it's fine. Game's a masterpiece anyway.)

Klonoa and Bravoman were in Namco X Capcom, but they aren't in this.

Also, holy shit @ the God Eater

[Boss Doggie]

Man, crits for specials really make a huge difference.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Well, after 60:58:54 I cleared the game. Chapter 41 was balls to the walls in ways. A lot the pairs got K.O.ed. The game was great. A lot of fun. It had its challenges and it wasn't always easy. Most of the time I didn't have any trouble. No regrets here (never would have them with those cut-ins). I hope everyone else has a lot of fun with it.

The End

EU sales +1

 

[Loona]

I'd say Xiaomu, but her boyfriend has three swords and two guns.

If we're talking boyfriend threat level, you want to stay clear of Sakura Shinguji, since she had that one commercial with Segata Sanshiro (it'd be fun if the game referenced that).

How does that work? Do you activate before they hit the ground?

 

[LuuKyK]

How does that work? Do you activate before they hit the ground?

Yes. I find it harder to time than normal attacks though.

 

[Jawmuncher]

As long as you earn 100xp, you get to do characters' special attack. You can increase over 100xp, but to do so you need to use support attacks and solo units attack.

So I just need 100XP ok. That's what I figured but wasn't sure. Ill mess around with it again today. I probably was never pressing when I had 100

 

[demidar]

I've gotten to the point where I can get criticals for normal attacks 50% of the time, 85% for pairs I like.

Also didn't know you could critical special attacks. Interesting.

 

[LiK]

Around 35 hours in. Wow, this game is so long. Still enjoying it but it's ridiculous how much they drag out the battles sometimes with the same boss dudes over and over. Kinda wish there were more unique bosses from more franchises per chapter just to mix things up.

 

[Mrcapcom]

I looked but i couldn't find but how do you critcal on supers? and non supers? Is it something that just happens?
Also when they are doing the supers do i have to press buttons MvC3 style or just sitback and enjoy?

Loving this game though never get tired of the moves etc love it!

Criticals occur when you use an attack right before an enemy hits the ground, supers included.

Or if the enemy is Stun your next attack (normal, assist, special) is critical

 

[Mrcapcom]

Thanks
Playtime is around 15hr how many hours do I have till I get megaman and Zero? lol I'm super hype for them lol

Wow, Nintendo has no excuse for not releasing Senran Kaguran now.
Also I bought this game just an hour ago, the last copy that they had left at the local Saturn store, I really dig the cover.

Will begin playing it tomorrow, too tired now.

Morrigan's boobs are nothing compared to some of the other characters. The amount of close up boob jiggles is pretty hilarious.

Yeah, it's a great source of humour courtesy of Vashyron.

 

[LiK]

Kagura's entire body shape is ridiculous.

i love that a lot of characters comment on her "bunker busters". Haven't seen such silly humor in a game in a while.

 

[GeekyDad]

How does that work? Do you activate before they hit the ground?

Yes. I find it harder to time than normal attacks though.

I found it to be easier, as I let the enemy actually hit the ground and then press Y. There's a split second before the exclamation symbol will pop up when they hit the ground at the end of of a turn. If you initiate the special then, it seems to always give you a crit-special.

 

[BlakImpaler]

Is it just me or did Xiaomu's cup size go up? I coulda sworn she was smaller in NXC and Endless Frontier/Exceed.

 

[LiK]

I wish NxC was localized. Totally didn't know who they were and what the references were.

Her cosplay multi-attack is fucking amazing.

 

[Midnight Moon]

How well is this game expected to do? I assume Namco was smart and only printed so many copies and are waiting for a reprint.

 

[BlakImpaler]

I wish NxC was localized. Totally didn't know who they were and what the references were.

Her cosplay multi-attack is fucking amazing.

I played a little bit of Exceed, so I'm excited to see that her cosplay special returns as a multiattack.
Xiaomu and Reiji are probably my favorite characters, and I wish they got more games!

 

[TWILT]

Well, just beat the game at 50:05:54. Overall, I had a lot of fun with the game! I do feel that the game should have been around 10 chapters shorter (or at least the chapters themselves be shorter). I didn't really care for the chapters where the party constantly splits into different teams, and not being able to rearrange your unit's positions on the battlefield sucks. Bosses are also kinda awful (especially the final one); the only real challenge is having the patience to take down their overly long health bars.

Still, the game was full of fanservice, battle system was fun (if a little repetitive later on) and the music was awesome. Not sure if I want to tackle new game plus...maybe later. Overall, 7.5/10.
Of course, I had to let Dante deal the final blow.

Jackpot.

 

[kunonabi]

While I'm still early I don't think I mind if the game goes on too long. I'm loving the writing too much to want it to end. The bit with Arthur and the armor was priceless. I'm having enough fun messing with skills and meter management that the battles themselves don't bother me with the length. I actually prefer excessively large battles with giant parties anyway. I just there continues to be more battles with extra objectives like the gain ground stage and the vortexes.

In some ways I'm actually enjoying this more than emblem since I can't just rely on one character to wipe out entire maps by himself.

 

[Seven Force]

Goddamn, getting a critical is so satisfying. Aiming for them keeps the combat from getting repetitive for me, weirdly enough.

 

[Sadist]

Chapter 13 and 14 took their sweet time, sheesh

 

[Bladenic]

The sound you get when you pull of criticals is so awesome.

 

[Palehorse]

Okay, so I do like SRPGs but this looks so utterly ridiculous...I tried the demos last night and I can't quite keep the game out of my head.

It seemed fairly straightforward, a bit easy, though I had a few pairs KOd in the second demo.

I liked the battles, they were entertaining in their over the top presentation.

I guess my question is does the game ever get more in depth than 'move pair X near to enemy Y, attack, enjoy battle, repeat'?

I'm tempted to throw down on this for the pairs I recognize, even though there's several I don't recognize at all.

 

[javac]

Have no idea what this game is even about and I've been following it since the weird test tube videos lol. Was always interested in the roster but was always lead to believe it was a straight up fighting game.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I'm on Chapter 31 and I think I've burnt out. This game kind of overstays its welcome.

 

[demidar]

The sound you get when you pull of criticals is so awesome.

It's pretty much the only thing going on for the combat for me lol. Getting super criticals is really easy now, and they give about +50% damage since some attacks in a combo don't crit. I'm having a lot more fun chasing after crits now and juggling them against calling in supports since Cross Hitting denies the opportunity to crit (unless you call them in at the exact same time as when you think a crit will land).

Started getting multi attacks now, Frank and Hsien-ko raked in the EXP the first time they used it. Maps are starting to last an hour+ now despite my fervent mob cleaning.

 

[GuardianE]

I've been using Ryu/Ken's Martial Arts Training to get that first critical recently. I never bothered looking at it before, but it only costs 15XP and you can apply it to any pair for their next attack.

It guarantees a critical on your first attack, which is something that's otherwise only possible if you get the critical after an opening support attack.

Or if a unit stuns the enemy, the next unit's first move is critical

Even if I know what the game was about, I wasn't able to explain to my cousin in my own words.

 

[Isaccard]

You'll love Chapter 16

 

[GuardianE]

Ah, yes. That's absolutely right.

 

[Videoneon]

You'll love Chapter 16

Once you get passed Chapter 16, you get a break IMO for several chapters. Even Chapter 20 isn't so bad, and I think the next couple of maps afterwards are manageable.

 

[BlackJace]

Guys, guys, Chapter 31 has you fighting fucking 73 enemies. What the fuck.

Not much of a surprise to anyone familiar with Banpresto titles.

Needs a fashion makeover: Saya - actually she's perfect. Dem shorts but she should lose the jacket so I can see her delicious arms <3

Worst VA: Mii/Yukari Tamura - voice really doesn't fit, Ulala/Herself - omg just awful. Queen of awfulness

[chickdigger802]

so... is it ok to use items?


There doesn't seem to be any store system, am afraid i'm gonna be out of items when needed later on.

 

[Bladenic]

You're crazy, Kaguya has the best boobs ever. Morrigan tried though.

And I LOVE Akira's theme. Ride the Tiger I think it's called? It's awesome.

 

[chickdigger802]

russian god eater girl has best boobs.


subtle underboob ftw.

 

[Kincaido]

I would waifu every girl in this game. Except Juri. And maybe Xiaomu.

 

[GuardianE]

You're crazy, Kaguya has the best boobs ever. Morrigan tried though.

I can't believe KOS-MOS and T-ELOS didn't make the list. If only for their special.

 

[Bladenic]

I can't believe KOS-MOS and T-ELOS didn't make the list. If only for their special.

Kos-Mos is just character assassination though. I plain just don't like T-Elos lol. Don't really like them in battle either.

 

[Kincaido]

I'll be honest. I think T-elos is the hottest in the game.
