Need some help on a spot I am stuck on during the first mission...
So after you
. How do I get there? Couldn't figure it out for the life of me...
So after you
lower the drawbridge, you see some citizens on a rooftop with what looks like a flaming piece of heart
It's unlocked from the start. You won't have any skills (stinger, rising, etc.) or rare/unlockable morphs (Ball, Tombstone, etc.) without touching Story Mode first. But you will have the 7 main morphs, so go wild with Bomb and Claw.
I heard people say they did it with less than 100, so I was a little hesitant to prescribe that method. Glad to hear it worked for you.
Use the football helmet to get past the air raid. You'll have a fork in the road. Going right finishes the level. Going left has you run into a destroyed bridge. Unite Chain across. After that, two methods.
Easy method, use Unite Rocket.
Hard method, use Unite Hand and find something to use as an extra step.
Finished Op 001
Holy shit, this game is incredible. When you get a combo going, it just flows so perfectly. When I

I'm kind of embarrassed that I've already died 5 times in total on normal... But I'll get better.

Geez, the part after with the arrow Unite Build was almost as bad. So finicky!

This is still a long process but
you want to stand under their right-front legs, Unite Guts their foot stomp, then unleash hell when he starts to tip over. Multi-unite morphs, huge combos, whatever you can do to tip them over. Use the hammer to chip away his armor before he uses the stomp, but switch to fist or sword while tipping him or he'll just fall on his stomach.

This game is pure joy.
Ugh, the 002-3 boss is a pain. Had to call in quits for the night.
The first
fight was a pain as well.
For the 002-3 boss, is it possible to somehow
EDIT: Is there an efficient way to get rid of the spike armor guys, or do I just have to keep at it with whip?

For the 002-3 boss, is it possible to somehow

You might be able to stop them with Hero Counter, but nah starting out I think you just gotta eat them on your tower
and I was kinda unimpressed by Vorkken 1. With how everyone was going on about how hard he was.....
he only had like one move and he kept doing it over and over...(occasionally he'll bust out morphs of enemies but other than that it was just punch and boomerang)

So.....what are the rules on spoiler tags now?
I mean game is out for everyone. Do we really have to tag strategies for stuff in the game's opening?

So is English or Japanese VA the popular choice for people here? Normally in a game like this I'd want them running around yelling in Japanese but there's something nice about the campy English voice acting that goes well with the style.

Fifth boss is the best. It's like all the best parts of the first two bosses, with the added bonus of
thrown in. The whole fifth op is pretty godlike.
Punch-Out!!
Guess I'll have to go through again and hopefully upgrade my consolation prize haha.

-Vorkken 1 didn't give me too much of a problem. He used fist a lot and I picked up quick that unite guts works well against it.
-Laambo is a bit weird, I find it hard to read him but I noticed that wailing on him with Red kills him pretty quick.
-Laambo + Mechaking Ghidorah was hard at first but I played that level again and I got the hang of it. The 3D space shooter section before it though....Fuck That Level!
-DieDough-Goo Was really easy. I got really comfortable fighting those in the demo. I just team attack them until they stagger and combo from there. Rinse and repeat. Then again its just a midboss that will get demoted to a common henchie by the time the game is over.
-002-C boss.....was a struggle.....ugh.....I plan on coming back to him once I unlock a few things to get my revenge.

Same thing happened to me that happened to a lot of people today. I asked an employee where the game was. They had no idea what game I was talking about. He goes to the back to look, comes back five minutes later, tells me he couldn't find it but that it should be there because it was in the computer. He takes about ten more minutes to find the game and brings it to me...
The game itself is pretty fun so far. I didn't get to play as much as I would have liked today. I just finished the first operation on Normal. I died a few times but nothing gave me too much trouble. The first boss (and operation in general) was pretty good but nothing mind blowing yet. Can't wait to play more tomorrow!

Got the game this morning. Played it for like 8+ hours. Just beat 004-C and calling it a night. Worst boss so far imo (which means it is still god-tier). The first boss of the game felt like a final boss...it blew my mind.
I love pretty much everything about this game. It's going to take a while to buy everything from the shop though. Already positive I missed some secrets.
Yes. Each character has 4 Ranks/Levels (You can see their progress on the gamepad screen where you can switch between them). Using a character will increase that character's rank over time. You can get to max fairly quickly. Other Wonderful Ones that share that weapon type will also increase their rank but at a slower pace. So if you are using Wonder Red all Fist users will get increased rank also, but not as fast. So once you level Red to max you want to switch to someone else and get them to max as well. The more people you rank up, the more skills you get for that weapon type. I also believe the vitality meter increases after you rank up certain numbers of Wonderful Ones.

I want this game. I loved the demo and I've played it several times, but I just honestly cannot get myself to buy this day one. I'm sorry, but I've noticed I've bought so many games day one, only to find it on sale a couple of weeks later. The way this game will sell makes me want to wait until Amazon drops it to $45 or something, then I might bite. Anyone feeling the same?

No. A bit after that in the same mission there will be a point where you can go North or South. North finishes the level, South looks like a dead end but you can build a bridge and wrap back around to those guys. Then there are a couple of different morphs you can use to get to them...
No because it's apparently a limited retail run so the price will only go up on physical copies while the digital stays at the current price.

So I'm in Operation 001-B
Edit: Nevermind, just figured it out. Make sure you're paying attention when the little robot dude (P-Star?) is floating around.
beating the shit out of a giant robot's face for the past five minutes and nothing's happening. I've taken out some orbs on his left hand, but nothing else. What am I supposed to do? haha

As of this typing, the game's 67# on US' Amazon's Top 100 Videogames' Best Sellers, and #41 on Canada's Amazon. 67# is the highest any Wii U related product has been in a long time, if I recall correctly. May drop like a rock in a few days, but it's very nice to see this. At the very least I expect it to sell better than Game & Wario.

I'm not sure, but that is what some other people have been saying. This morning I went to Target and Walmart before I ended up getting it at GameStop. Target and Walmart both didn't have any (they even checked the back) and GameStop only had 9 copies...8 of which were pre-ordered, so I got lucky.

Ha, I was stuck there earlier too.
shoot what? the tanks? I motherfucking shot everything in that room.
ahh fuck whatever I turned the game off. Tomorrow then.
Had my first death in Operation 003. It was extremely embarrassing. When you get locked downstairs with the poison gas near the end of 3-A, I interpreted "Open the door" to mean that I had to find a secret switch. Time ran out and I died. Turned around and just killed the cannon fodder and was through in a minute. So embarrassing.
The only nice thing is that breaking all the destructible walls led me to finding another Wonderful One.
As for the boss, I'll put some tricks in spoilers:
You can taunt to get a power bonus just like that one Custom Block upgrade, and taunting also let's you use Unite Camp faster. There's a semi-speed liner from the beginning of the game, and it stacks with speed liner. There's a way to purposefully get an enemy weapon, maybe. Mission Mode has hidden Wonderful Ones (the picture looks like it might be Wonder Director?). There are other little secrets and techniques.
How to quickly rip off Gedie armor (use a 50-man whip), Unite Ball to move quickly with enemy weapons, and the other remaining stuff was already known.
Edit: I don't really have anything to help make turtles go faster other than learning how to manipulate their behavior.
If you're standing in front of one and are in range, they will use their head charge attack. The attack also pierces through Guts so either know it's coming and dodge it, or don't give them a chance to use it at all. The fire attacks can be blocked with Unite Hand, so if you have the armor broken off one turtle while the other is trying to hit you with fire, you don't have to stop going ham on the guy. If a turtle tries to stomp you with one of it's side feet (but not regularly when it uses both front feet, for some reason) then you can either stand neutral with Unite Hammer or use Unite Guts to block it and make the turtle tipsy. You can then use anything but Hammer normal attack to tip them over, nullifying their armor for a while (this includes Hammer Rising and Hammer Stinger). I never got the chance, but once their tipped over you can try picking them up and throwing them at the other turtle. Otherwise, just focus as much damage in there as possible.
If you Unite Whip its tail it'll be stunned for a second. I can't find much of a use for this other than to pin a turtle down in multiplayer.

As for the boss, I'll put some tricks in spoilers:
During the missile hammering section, you don't have to use Y. Just make your own large hammer and swing when you want to. Otherwise you're a slave to the rocket boosters.
While fighting the eels, you can use Hammer to block their falling down attack. Doesn't really do anything other than give 200 more points. I forgot to try and Guts the attack. Also, when the eels try to stab you with their tails, if you're quick you can pull them out with Unite Whip.
When facing off against good and proper, you can block his missiles with Hammer and then use a Wonder Liner to pick them up and throw them back at him. When his blades come down to try and cut you, you can attack the orbs on it. I personally used Bazooka, but I think you can hit it with melee weapons as well, just harder. When he does the electric ball attack you can block it with Unite Sword, but if you time a sword swing you can reflect the attack back at him instead. There's probably one other trick to the fight as well (after jumping to new platform, I never got to try using Guts or Hammer on his pounding claws, but considering that it flattens you one of those should work as a counter), so keep looking.

.....welp.............Now I know
Well I went back and got a silver on 001A, just because of a stupid death at the end boss. Pure Platinum and Platinumed the majority of the stuff though, so thats a start.
Didnt think you could time unite guts to counter almost everything though, Throwing enemies and then comboing them into dust is pretty satisfying.

If you read her profile, Wonder-Makeup from Alice Springs, Australia is implied to be crossdressing, and is named Priscilla.
There are some really out there references in this game, ahahah. I actually love reading the profiles on the W101.
I am so bad at blocking/dodging in this game. I think I need the witch time esque accessory to fix up my timing >_>

Pretty sure that's happening software-side with this game specifically. I think Platinum have done that intentionally just to make it harder to accidentally go to the pause menu or switch screens during gameplay.

Amazing gaming-age review is amazing.
I have found that holding down the pause button has given me far more consistent results.
...I'll test it out but that seems like kind of a stretch. Do they have a history of doing things like that?
