The only reason I use the PS3 controller is noise. I do stream late here (around 10 P.M. onwards), and the noise from a arcade stick would wake up my wife and daughter. I do agree that stick is better for those moves. I do use the D-pad on the PS3 controller thou. Analog is not for me. xD
First of all, sorry for the late response tatticadanito! I'm still traveling back from AGDQ and I'll reach home tomorrow, and so the responses are going to be faster.
- Besides playing at all, which improves how you deal with the surroundings, there are a few tips:
- avoid getting surrounded. The AI will try to do that most of the time. Learning how to move around with dashs (quarter circle forward + jump for all characters) and rush attacks (quarter circle forward + attack with everyone but M.User) improves you survivability a lot.
- spells in general leaves you in a invincible state while casting them, and will freeze enemies in place. But the game only allows ONE spell in the screen at the same time. This WILL LOCK your menu AND your Spell button while an enemy cast a spell. So if the Lich is doing a Lightning Bolt attack, move out of the way instead of trying to hit or cast another spell. Beware that casting the Cleric's Desesperate Attack (Turn Undead) UNLOCKS this state, so it's possible with one in the party to cast spells while Synn is doing one of the Breath Attacks, which counts as spells.
I do have a bit more hints on that, but that will require you to be more specific. Tell me the problems you are facing, and I'll do my best to help.
- the "Any% No deaths" has only one reason to exist: to not have only uncontested WR. Once more people get into the game, it will be removed. Since just me and Rogel run the game, that new "category" made us more motivated to play, and made us lower our times. More than once people have told me of that, and I'm thinking about removing it, but feedback is highly valuable on this to make a decision.
If you want to ask anything, or need help with the game, feel free to ask!
Hi, I've picked interest in this, made a test run last night and ended with 3h10. I would like to know if there are any glitches or major skips, and where I can gather that info. Thanks in advance.
