Quick question: Does offering hearts to Palutena or Viridi do anything? Do you unlock more weapons, or spoken dialogue or whatever?

Quick question: Does offering hearts to Palutena or Viridi do anything? Do you unlock more weapons, or spoken dialogue or whatever?

No. As far as i understand, it only gives you the opportunity to buy more discounted weapons. (not instantly, but after you finished 1 or 2 levels after the hearts offering

[Nub]

is it gonna be recorded in some way? I'm curious to see the skill levels of other people.

I'd love to record some matches, but I have no idea how I would do it or set a camera up.

Its never going to happen but I would love for Nintendo to patch in replay support.

Does anyone want to try and abuse the system with me to get weapons? 6 people in a Small Arena all having the attack button taped down should do just fine, I figure. Someone on GFAQs said it works for him. Ideally, I'd like to set up a room in the morning and have people just join in during the morning to let it run all day long.

I tried abusing the training room for hearts, but the Monoeyes stop giving hearts after you kill ~15 of them. -_- Damn Sakurai thought of everything!

huh, for me it stops after 10 kills ?

[Karsticles]

I'm pretty sure mine went a little more than 10. The 15 was just an estimate. I was holding the button down while doing other things. I just wanted to know if it stopped. Insignificant detail.

It does nothing of the sort! It's been tested, and donating hearts. I've gotten my fair share of sales and i've donated very little in reality.

I'd be fine with this. When are you planning on opening the room?

I would love to do this. Most of my weapons are comically underpowered in late-game single player, much less multi. I only have a handful of weapons that are usably strong, after 16 hours of play.

I can open one now. Let's add each others' friend codes.

These will be the room's specs:
1) 1 minute matches.
2) Small Arena.
3) 6 players.
4) Friends and Friends of Friends allowed (to help keep it filled with non-AI).
5) CPU AI set to 1.

I recommend bringing a weapon with good homing to ensure that your rounds hit someone - the guy on GFAQs said this is important.

We'll see if it works!

Edit: Room is up. The guy also said not to close your 3DS cover. We'll see how it goes. In theory, more people = more rewards, but he said he does it 1v1 with his sister's 3DS. If it turns out that we don't get anything, maybe we could try with a 2-person room to see how it goes.

[ScraftyDevil]

Are you quite sure this won't bork my L button? I'd hate for that to happen right before the tournament...

[Karsticles]

I don't see why it would. All I do while flying around in this game is hold my L button down. It's not like tape somehow makes the button press more damaging or something. At least that's my logic.

So I've played until chapter 14, This game. THIS GAME!

Added you, looks like the room is closed. Will try back tomorrow?

[Gospel]

Got a SpotPass message that the Kid Icarus anime shorts are coming back.

At the end of the message I thought it said they were coming to the eShop as a free download too, but I read it wrong and they just meant Nintendo Video :/

[Karsticles]

I got nothing from my matches with Scrafty. I'd like to find out what his experience was. Might try the 1v1 room next, and I'm not sure if shooting even matters.

I got some great weapons and powers (Bumblebee lv 2 woo!) from playing bots for twenty minutes.

Yeah, playing. I'm trying to AFK for rewards. :-P

[Freezie KO]

Been trying to clear levels on Intensity 9 (and if not, I'll settle for 8). But I'm having a bitch of a time on Chapter 9. Do the three sacred treasures suck? Should I be avoiding using them? I like killing Ornes... :(

[ScraftyDevil]

Yatta! I finally beat Chapter 13 on 9.0! Only one more to go...

I'm coming for you, you Aurum jerkbag.

[McNum]

So I've played until chapter 14, This game. THIS GAME!

Do you want to take a guess at what happens in the next chapter? I'm not even going to hint, but it's going to be awesome.

[Regulus Tera]

Chapter 23 was not more awesome than 22. :/

Everything after Pit grows his wings back was a rollercoaster of quality for me.

I was referring to chapter 15 there. The one where you, if you hadn't guessed already, find out that this game is kind of crazy. The last few chapters were okay, what they might lack in fight quality, they sure made up for in style. (Final chapter spoiler) "Great Sacred Treasure Activate!" Pit so needs to do that in the next Smash...

[Anteo]

Up to chapter 17. The pacing is amazing. Portable goty for sure.

So, did you expect what happened?

Also, the next chapter is even better.

Nice! One more to go.

Seriously, you're one of the oddest cases out there...!

Good luck against Aurum Pyrrhon you'll need it!

I know I'm weird. The last 5 Chapters I beat on 9.0 were 13, 22, 4, 18, and FRIGGIN' 23 OH GOD THE PAIN WHY.

After I beat that last level, all I'll need to do to secure my sense of self-worth is win the tournament. We'll see how that turns out.

Oh it'll turn out good.

[Karsticles]

I have the room up, and I figured out that what you need to do is PUSH a button if you want stuff. For example, I did a room 1v1 against a level 1 computer, and just mashed attack without moving. I didn't kill him, but I hit him once or twice, and I got 162 hearts. So, the trick seems to be having a button pushed at some time. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

[Green Mamba]

Beat Chapters 1 through 16 on Intensity 9 so far. Thank goodness for my 6 range Artillery Claws with +4 Confuse, which has absolutely no right being as good of a status to use in Single Player as it is. So far Chapter 09 was by far the hardest. Though I anticipate a few later ones giving me more grief.

[Lonely1]

My new favorite weapon, just got 17 kills on FFA!



Doesn't hit very hard (for about 130 charged dash shoot), but shoots and charges very fast and has good build in homing.

What's your take on it, GAF?

[Sagitario]

I don't think I will ever get good at this game.

I am not disliking it or anything and I love the dialogues/characters (I could hear them talk all day), but it just doesn't click with me.

It doesn't help that I haven't found a [good] weapon I am comfortable with yet and that this game makes my eyes hurt A LOT.

[PKrockin]

90 hours and I'm still addicted. I was really hopeful for this game (with some lingering doubts) but it has completely blown away my expectations. I'm an crazy Smash fanboy but it almost seems a waste that Sakurai isn't going on to make another creative project instead.

[jgkspsx]

This is probably the key. Things are really not so fun with crappy weapons.

Just picked up a load of great weapons and powers in chapter 20. Really need to go back and find the zodiac chambers I missed, though.

Your powers grid is bothering me.



There we go.

[ScraftyDevil]

I just got the last idol in the game! Appropriately, it was the End-All Arm.

Now I can go back to spending my play coins on puzzle pieces and SSIV figurines.

How many are there? I have 380 without spending any coins so far.

[ScraftyDevil]

There are ~400 that you can obtain in-game and ~5 that you can only obtain by scanning cards (at least that's my hypothesis). So 405 in total.

IMO the violet palm is probably my favorite palm. Thats a pretty good palm, I always enjoy speed modifiers and range boost is great for palm.

[clemenx]

I want to love this game but I can't, completely. I feel the later levels all have some gimmicky part AND they're way too long. I understood Chapter 9 as it was a fake ending, and I was in a blackout so I appreciated it but I don't see why thay have to get longer and longer. Really, chapters 1-9 were the perfect game for me.

Good thing Viridi is the greatest character in anything ever so I am loving everything else in here.

[Roto13]

A couple of those levels are crazy long and totally inappropriate for a handheld game, for sure.

Though, it has improved since the Chapter where I'm Magnus. I really, really disliked all those levels with the Aurums or whatever they're called.
I'm in chapter 22 right now.

Uhh what happened here >.< Sorry, I was sure I had clicked on edit.

[StAidan]

The only gimmicky part that bothered me was (uhh, late mid-game if I remember right?) riding the lightning chariot. It just changed up the flying section WAY too much.

I agree about the chapter length on some of those later ones though. I don't usually have a lot of time to sit and play an extended session, so there are a handful of chapters where I basically have to run through and miss out on a lot of content just to fit the game into my life schedule.

[jokkir]

I might get this game today. Is the online broken yet/any unbalanced combinations of equipment? Without spoilers, how's the campaign? I heard great things about it so far.

I haven't played online yet, but the campaign is nuts. In a good way. And the way it handles difficulty levels is pretty smart. Do spend a little time getting used to the controls, though.

[jokkir]

Ah yeah, a question about controls. If you were more than okay with the controls of Metroid Prime: Hunters for the DS, would the controls, in a way, be no problem when playing this game?

I wish there were demo stations with this game instead of Mario Kart :(

[n8BitMan]

I picked this up yesterday. Five chapters in so far, overall the experience has been nice and by looking at things, plenty to go back to.

Man oh man, why did I hold off.

Actually my first comment about the controls in this thread was that "if you could handle MPH then you should have no problem here". I still feel it fits well enough.
