Kid Icarus Uprising |OT| On a Wing and a Prayer

Can any of the left-handed players here give me some impressions?

After watching the QL, I'm 50/50 on the game, but trying to imagine what this must play like for lefties gives me the chills.

I'm left handed but I'm fine using my right hand for the stylus.

There's plenty of options and it helps that the game is happy for you to try them out.

The land levels are nowhere like Kingdom Hearts. Try to approach them much more methodically, even stealthily when going from room-to-room.
Speaking of Kingdom Hearts, don't the characters look and animate like they just came out of Kingdom Hearts? And I mean that in a positive way, btw. It must be the style they used.

Viridi, Phosphora, Amazon Pandora, heck Hades all look like Disney characters
and Pit feels like a better animated version of Sora.
 
Got this on sale yesterday for my daughter.

Got her Dogs & Cats and Mario Kart (which she loves)

Picked this up for me today.

Looking forward to seeing what this device can do.
 
Chapter 18:
Oh god what the fuck is going on?!

Honestly this should just be the subtitle for every chapter. Sakurai is a damn nutter. I mean, you can attack people with Nintendog paws in this game. I'm only at chapter 7 right now but given how many absurd references this game has I really hope there is a Star Fox parody level, or even an entire level from Star Fox just in the game as-is.

Ha well I watched the QL finally. Brad seemed to really enjoy it, despite being clueless about a few things. There is a lot to figure out, so can't blame him much.

Seems like the people who got an overall negative impression from the QL only watched the first 10 minutes or so.

The Quick Look people are stupid on this game. They didn't even recognize the Intensity gate.

The feeling of full speed flight is crazy in this game. I'm not sure if its the 3D depth, or just the way everything is animated...but wow. Surround sound is nice on the system as always. Just like with Resident Evil Revelations, the sound sort of envelopes you.

Pick up RE: Revelations as well.

The weapons sort of as well. All kinds of strange angles and attachments.
 
Replaying now the stages, with my super tiger claws and my new love for ground controls, Im tearing the game apart.
Im starting to like the more methodic aspect of the ground segments than the flying ones (at least the last ones, becuase in those the shit is totally crazy and there is never enough health).

They might indicate whether you completed the level in one shot, with no continues.

I pretty sure is the points you score and that it depends of the stage.
Ive never been killed in the first stage (but had a green laurel), but I did now a pretty cool walkthrough, fast and killing nearly all the enemies, without getting killed and in intensity 6 and i got 99770 points. Gold laurel.

But there has been stages where I was killed and I still got the gold laurel.


I think all the girls in this game have moe potential

Viridi
is totally the tsunadere type. lol

I only clicked blindly on you spoiler bars. The first thing I thought of was obviously this:

You are not the only one who thought of that, and Im pretty sure it was done intentionally.
 
In multiplayer I tend to not get many points but I still feel like I'm doing pretty good.

Like understanding that I need to hide and run when I'm my team's Pit ;)

The only multiplayer matches I'm getting are with Japanese players who completely devastate me :<

I've only played with Japanese players once, and the one in my team and one in the other team kept duking it out it was pretty cool.


Good games to people I've played with. Prinny and CodeBlue are quite formidable opponents.
 
Ugh, I don't want to wait to get this game anymore. I still have raid mode on RE:R and Zelda SS to beat, but the way all of you are talking about it is making it very, very tempting to just go out and buy it right now.

I'm the opposite. If I become Pit I am going to bring the fucking pain with him. I run in there and tear the other team up, as long as I have a Health Recovery standing by. If not, then I'll play more defensive. But he is such a beast that most players will try to run or play more defensively (since in a 1v1 against Pit you don't stand a chance) which means you can attack and then heal up when the fight is over.

I keep getting far more points then I expect. I'll go the whole match feeling like I'm not doing much and then at the end I'll come in second or first.

I'm just kinda bad and hiding and running allowed our team to win.

In some of the smaller arenas I've def been forced to fight as Pit however. It's just you can get tag teamed so easily.

I've come here to gloat but I'm doing pretty fucking well in lvd with an awesome skyscraper club. My name online is FlyGuy btw if anyone has seen me. Also my friend code is 3179-6068-5632. I have 351 kills too ^^.
 
After being finished a couple of times I've noticed that you really don't lose that many hearts. Do they mean for us to start on 7.0 and finish in the 3s if absolutely necessary or something?

I'm ready to set up some 3 v 3 regulars.
My FC 0817 - 3754 - 6076
Brother's FC 3265 - 5068 - 2177

*Edit* Is there a running list of FC? Only got Busaiku so far. And that's cool Joe maybe later.

I can't play these teams anymore, sorry. I'm the only one doing ANYTHING at this point and everyone just gangs up on me as a result.

I'm done for now.

I know, right!? No clue how I pulled that off. That was amazing. Oh and I'm glad you're
doing better too!
It's starting to become easier to move with ABXY in tight spaces, I was running into wall a bit too often last time :p

I really hate your bow but I always attack the first person I see when there is no (dark)Pit.

ooooo, I can make a

Palm, but it would require my best weapon, a Phosphora Bow, to create it. Hmmm, decisions...

8 star Heart Bow with plus on homing :p Shit took off up to half my life at a time and I had defense plus 2 and life plus 4 LOL

Hell yeah people are going to start gangbanging him xD

Wow, so he's the fucker who raped me with with two hits a couple of matches ago? I loathed seeing all those damn hearts lol.

Its 5 and a half, you are exagerating slightly lol!

It's also one beam, easy to dodge if you watch for it. There are plenty of drawbacks to it, extremely low stamina and shitty close to meidum range abilities.

just a bit :p

It's slow and easy to dodge, but this is also a team game and normally other shit is shooting or going on too :p People bum rushed you for a reason haha its what they gotta do

It wasn't in the game we played, it was another one later where my teammates had 0 points consistently.

They did absolutely nothing, I'm fine with being targeted but I can't dodge 3 players worth of shit when team members aren't even distracting other people.

I don't think he's getting targeted in particular since you can't communicate in game.

It's just that people will go after whoever is shooting them or the first person they see, it makes sense that better players would wander into more people's screens since people who aren't doing as well (me) are going to be running back from respawning more often.
 
I haven't tried the MP yet but I added myself to the Google list all the same. I'll check out how the multiplayer modes work as soon as get more time in on SP.

I gotta add Prinny so I can get revenge for getting dusted in Mario kart :p

And whoever else is the usual person that hosts everything.

We need someone to identify the locations of every prize on the prize wall (360 spots across three walls, at least!) so I can use those feathers to insta-open the tough ones I want, muahaha.

so is singleplayer with high intensity the best way to earn hearts, or are there other ways to earn them besides that and multiplayer? I Don't know how I'd get 100,000 hearts to buy those crazy expensive weapons.
