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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

Sakurai-san: There were lots of such ideas, but I’d rather not talk openly about them. In development we came up with lots of ideas and had to abandon those which we would not be able to implement in time. Also, when we were first coming up with the storyline, we actually had 3 more chapters that we had to give up on quite early on.

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.

I've had the game since launch but only tried the online multi player stuff just the other day, I was a fool for not trying it out sooner.

I really need to upgrade my weapon better if I'm going to try and win any of the matches out there, my Value 281 Angel Bow seems to do jack all against a fair amount of the people on there.

That's pretty sexy. I'm going to be lazy, not read previous posts and just flat out ask what programs you used to do this. Sites are blocked at work so the link doesn't really work here. I'm always curious how people do their work. I'm going to assume you drew it first on paper?

I got that part by using the insta kill power and play death. Try to use a fast shooting weapon too. Also, healing lvl 4 can heal you up to 45% as long as your life is not below 50%.
Lower than that, and you'll get less health per use.

Edit : I'm hosting a match right now. 3 player match, if anyonelese wants to join, post here, I'll rehost to get more players in.

Chapter 8, the game finally clicked with me.

At first I found it just OK, with some impressive graphics and flying sequences. I found the maniability quite tough, and my visor was going crazy in all the corners of the screen. And then I looked in the options.

Screw being able to slide the screen like a globe. Increase the speed and make the movement stop quicker. Now the game is plain awesome, I can make Pit do whatever I want !

I actually like the default controls, though it depends, if I'm not playing with the stand, I prefer mid to high momentum. Otherwise, mid or a litle less.
