Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus |OT| Life Returns to Vita

Can you get a better picture of the front cover of the far right artbook please? :>

Not my pic but here is a great shot of it. It only has a few pages of SK, but seeing as it's from Nan Yaegashi I figured I would put it in there :)

Well, my LE arrived from EBGames.ca. Unsurprisingly, they mailed it in a bubble envelope, so the box arrived crushed on one side. When will they learn not to ship editions such as this in bubble mailers? -_-

So, I finished Hanzo's story and some side stuff (buying things, side stories, etc).
Not really interested by Gessen. Should I skip to New Hebijo and unlock Crimson Squad, or quickly do Gessen before that?

I'm playing Gessen right now. It's much more interesting to play than it looks at first glance. Give it a shot at least.

Will do then, thanks! Guess the Hanzo story just rubbed me the wrong way on their personality
It really is best to play Hanzo first, then Gessen. Playing Gessen gives you a very good look at the inside of the group, their motivations, and their true personalities. Hell, this goes for all the schools.

Plus Yozakura is slowly creeping up my 'favorite shinobi' list.

So my copy finally came in the mail today. I was skimming through the artbook and noticing how high quality it is, thinking XSEED did a great job with the extras.

Then I got to Katsuragi's profile. That shirt. and then the description. Purchase justified. :)

I need to finish the Hebijo storyline in Burst before I start SV, but I think I can power through that quickly. I can't wait.

I did Gessen first just because I wanted to play as the new girls. I had started Hanzo but it reminded be of burst, so I switched to Gessen.

Is anyone even customizing their characters?
Would love to see some screenshots.

I pretty much switched Yumi's personality.
Not a huge fan of the hair but don't have much else unlocked right now.
 
Mine came in. Bubble mail from Amazon but no damage. I expected it, but having finished both Burst and SK2 on 3DS, it is crazy how much more lewd this one is. While different level. Difficulty seems about the same as Burst, harder than Shinku.

Seems pretty fun so far, it might help that I haven't played anything similar to a Musou game before. I started off with Hebijo Academy, since I think that one girl with the red outfit and the guns is in that one, I really like her outfit, for some reason.

I love all of the unlockables, those should keep me occupied for quite a while.

So how does the rage mode or whatever it's called work? And how do you parry?

You may want to do the tutorial. You'll get a trophy for it and it's not very long at all. You'll learn a lot more than that stuff.

Go into Frantic Mode through RB+Triangle. Parries are done by well timed blocks.

I'm going to go buy this digitally right now. I would order the cool physical edition, but I have no idea where I would hide that awesome art book. I would get judged so hard.

I absolutely love her "real ladies fight with their fists and they do it with style" quote. The translation so far really do her personnality justice, the mix between brazen and lady-like.

For parry, just press the right bumper just as the enemy is about to land a hit on you. If you pull it off, you gain one ninja energy+the chance to strike back.

Rage mode or "Frantic" is basically hold R1 to defend, flick two fingers from middle of Vita screen to left and right. You should be taken to a close up of the ninja girl's bossoms and there's an indicator asking you to flick left and right again.

Do that and they will strip down to their underwear and go into Frantic mode.

If you mean "Burst", just press down on D-Pad, but it reduces HP.

Just tried an online battle (Team Deathmatch).. wasn't expecting it to be that fun.
Mostly because when battling AI you always see their Ninpo attacks coming and you can dodge them easily.. not online though since there aren't any cutscenes for that.

Have anyone tried to play online cross-region? I would like to know how good is their netcode.

I've been playing hours and hours of the online multiplayer. No joke. It's surprisingly fun.

I don't know how to unlock the remaining cast, though.

Use can use modbot, and then work out the finer details over pm.

Reminds me of when I got ME2 on PS3 from EA.
2 copies were just hanging out in the box as well.
Still wondering how that mistake happens. Not that I minded.

This isnt the first time this has happened.

This has happened many times before.

I once recieved 7 copies of Guitar Hero Aerosmith with the bag and the guitar controller. When I did those free video game offers, the offers were fufilled through amazon and a giant box showed up a week later with 7 copies.

Tell any of your friends to buy a Vita, and the first one will get a free copy of Senran Kagura.

Got my shipping confirmation earlier today from Best Buy Canada. I'm really hoping they don't stuff them into a bubble mailer.

Would you want a piece of pornography returned to you? j/k

Do a poem contest. Topic being life and hometown, of course.

Amazon Canada is still MIA.

My advice is to order from somewhere else, I went with EBGames.ca. It's five bucks more but it looks like they still have it in stock. I ordered yesterday around noon and my copy got here early this morning. Sure beats waiting around without any guarantee you'll even get it.

Anyway, I just finished playing the first few Hanzo missions. So far, this is pretty damn fun!

I wonder if they just do that randomly or something, I forgot to specify to have it in a box as well, but it still ended up coming in a box for me, which was perfect since it didn't get damaged. Hate when amazon sends stuff in bubble mailer, it messed up my Black Lagoon DVD set I bought once :(

I guess. I felt like complaining, but at the end of the day, I already have my JP version and this copy was more to support the western release, so I decided to let it go.

The important thing is that the goodies inside are okay.
 
Mildly interested with this game although I know nothing about the series.

I wonder if I should pick this up because the game looks stupid fun and I want something new to play on my Vita.

You definitely need to be okay with very overt fanservice, especially if you want to play through the Hebijou story.
You won't be able to avoid Ryona.

Thankfully, I enjoy it. Hopefully you do too!


Anywho, I'm really enjoying the online modes but wow, the difference in how good Murakumo is after transformation as opposed to before is absolutely insane. I went from being in last place in a deathmatch and only having 500 points to winning a first to 50k in less than a minute.

I've been playing the game on and off today and I have to say that I really like it. The transformation and special move animations get old but it's not like I can't just skip them. Katsuragi was a surprise for me, to be honest. I didn't expect to like her as much as I do. Mmm...yes...she will be the one. She will be my shinobi waifu.

Mine was sent in a bubble mailer as well. The box took some damage but it wasn't crushed; sorry to hear that.

Size difference going from my Vita to PS TV lol

NA version on the PS TV, JP on the Vita.

I...I think I need a Playstation TV now.
