Studying up on Arcana Heart 3 Love Max still. I decided to research Arcana and just what each does because its not super clear.
Basically they get the following.
- a passive trait
- they will affect your general damage and ability to take damage
- they have several specials
- they have their own supers
- they have their own hypers (ultras)
- They have a unique effect during Extend Force (xfactor)
These arcana are more elaborate in tools than most characters are. You can equip them to anyone you want and instantly add a multitude of specials, supers, hypers, and passive traits along with unique xfactor bonuses.
Here are a list of some of the crazy things I've seen:
- LOVE ARCANA-gives you melee style DI on your falls
<passive>adds reflect properties to fully charged Arcana moves
<Extend Force (xfactor)>Gives you the ability to special cancel normals into its 3 specials
<specials> firing a homing orb thats slow, firing a beam, firing a field you can hold that will absorb projectiles and send out homing orbs if it does so
<supers> are firing 3 of the homing orbs and firing a giant laser
<Ultra> fires a gigantic spirit bomb that is air unblockable and that grows in size
- EVIL ARCANA (pay attention because this is fucking crazy)
<passive>fully charged arcana moves add POISON
<Extend Force (xfactor)>ALL NORMALS WILL POISON OPPONENT
<Specials> you can place a fog of poison on the screen that poisons on touch, you can place a warp point on the screen to teleport at either your current position or your opponents current position. This sort of teleport is crazy for avoiding stuff and cornering and combos
<Supers>
-Place a portal on the screen...if enemy touches it they teleport and fall in an untechable state from above. Anyone remember MK9 Smoke 
-Swap places on screen instantly
-place a giant skull BEHIND THE OPPONENT that does a command grab that steals arcana meter from the opponent
<Ultra>A gigantic arm that on hit grabs the opponent and does 8000 unscaled damage. You even get free reign to control a scythe in hell that carves up your opponent during the animation by hitting directions.
This is fucking nuts...all that teleporting, and poison damage? All those homing attacks, projectiles, and cancels? And you can equip these tools onto ANYONE in the cast?!
Holy shit this game...its like a sandbox. Fuck one of the Arcana is an equippable Jojo stand and there is already a stand character in the game! Double stands out at once?!
My head hurts from the unblockable potentials of this...@_@
Next major licensed title needs to rip off some of this shit.
I keep having random dreams of playing the game Shao's making xD
Then I wake up and boot up other games and feel sad.
It's worse because we come up with these insane character ideas then it's like... FUCK I WANT TO ACTUALLY PLAY THAT CHARACTER RIGHT NOW.
Then I sit down and write up paragraphs on how different matches play out in a play by play in text form.
I love you. This is why I push so hard after work in a power plant to do a shift of computer work at home. Shit like that. All the shit you come up with in your head and how you playout stuff on paper...its gonna carry a lot. I need to push harder to get you something to work on in a build this year. Like really hard. You're wasting away waiting on me to build assets and damn if that aint a waste of a real passion that needs to be tapped into to help polish this thing. At least you're there to keep the motivation rolling for me and to help me tune the keyframe ideas for now.
