Can you no longer quick skip the cutscenes? Those few extra button presses are really throwing me off.
Anyway, it feels amazing but this demo is too easy so I'm not gonna play it anymore. I think they made the right choice changing the control configuration on the Game Pad because R as lock-on for the few moves you need it for = yuck. Still feel like I need a Pro Controller to get comfortable though, a purchase I was trying my best to avoid.
GOTY already

I mean the secret quick skip from Bayo 1 where you could just press RT + Back (on the 360) vs. having to pause and skip.

I'm really not doing well with my combo scores during the first verse.. Other than that, if this is normal difficulty I'll probably go with hard in the final game. Feels easier than Bayo1 on normal.

DMC4 is good.
And you are right,although some people that worked on DMC3/DMC 4 also worked on Bayonetta too.
I have bigger hands, so maybe it's easier for me to hold the pad, but you must have long fingers if you're reaching from the triggers to the buttons. That sounds uncomfortable. If you use all four fingers, the weight of the pad is easier to handle, and I've got one of those uboost stands on mine. You just have to get used to pressing the buttons differently, which is why they're all digital. If they were analog, your way would make more sense, but all they need is light taps.
Dreadful.

The controls feel more heavy than i remember, im still getting used to them, maybe im just a little rusty.
And, this is easily the best looking Wii U game imo,

Just playing around with the new chains right now. So far my first impressions are really positive.
I like how the kick button has a lot more routes. Both on its own and after punch starters. Punch generally still seems to be the combo starter button though, but there's alot more fun routes. Just have to figure out a logic to them. I like that it's so different from the first game's.
One thing I do like now is that Bayonetta has a visual cue for "pause" commands in combos. Makes it so much easier to time them while also avoiding enemies in the game.
and this is just the ground chains. I haven't even played with the air ones yet to see how different they are.
Haven't figured out the quick cutscene skip command. but playing them out I found out that if you dodge at certain parts during cutscenes where Bayonetta also dodges, you will start the encounter following it with a pretty lengthy Witch Time. I think in the demo the only part you can do it is the midboss on the train.
Now to figure out scoring changes. Seems like it's alot harder to meet Platinum ranks for combos than in the first game

I'm just replaying verse 1 trying stuff for like 5 hours.
Depends on the weapons equipped.

I was watching the trailer on YouTube, then it said there was a demo at the end. I ran straight to my GamePad.

I've just been going through the movelist in the tutorial. I'll eventually learn them all but just trying to find my favorite ones. I lost some of my favorites from the original but there are some new ones that are pretty similar and alot of completely new ones that I think are really fun.
It feels like overall like her strikes have more power behind them. Bayo1, as far as I remember, was a lot quicker on the draw, but I find it easier to just do concise taps in this, than just spam wildly in Bayo1. But that might just be my W101 side showing.
Typo in there, erf >.<

My new favorite combo is when the enemies spin around in the air for 2-3 seconds. I already spoiled myself watching a japanese combo video and yeah there is some hot stuff in the full game....
If you aren't spinning on the ground underneath them, to catch them from the other side, you're doing it wrong.

I*m not sure what you're up to, but there is a launch combo which keeps enemies juggled spinning in the air. Ready to follow up with anything you want.

Ha, that's just the nature of the Batman combat system. Honestly though, good luck lasting more than a few small battles if you are going to play like that though. That game is hard (in a great way), you will get mauled.
I trust in Kamiya, W101 is just brimming with excitement, passion and cool ideas. I'm curious to see if the 'obtuse' aspects smooth out later on. I found that the game is so unique that it's less intuitive to play and thus, probably needed more tutorials or explanations. Partly because they were so ambitious with using the gamepad (which is a great thing, but that in itself is also unique for users).
