Yeah, that's true, though I think you gradually gain Heat after Blood Kain anyway, though I'm not a big Ragna player and have no clue how long it usually lasts.

15 secs on my count, also activation of blood kain renders Ragna invincible for that second. You can avoid anything at that point.

Alright, played a bunch more ranked matches and I can see that I'm improving. Went from - ahem - 13.6% out of 9 matches to 44.7% out of +/-26 and Level 10. I was initially impressed with Tao and will continue to use her as a sub, but I'm really liking Jin's style and the things I'm learning to do with his freeze attacks - even if it makes me feel dirty since it seems like everybody and their dog plays him. :p

Question for those of you who finished story mode, specifically Tao's: is there anything else besides winning/losing to each character and finishing with an Astral? As far as I can tell I've done that with each and every battle, including both Arakune branches and I'm still at 99%! :/

Also: :lol at Tao's
G-Gundam references in the Bang's Apprentice part of her story.

Anyone know of any hi-res pictures for this game? Best I've found so far was 1080 wallpapers. Was hoping to find some hi-res art, specifically of Hakumen, for my arcade stick. Might end up trying to draw my own.

Did you lose to Arakune both times in both branches? Cause they're different.

Yeah. Won/lost/Astral Finished both, too. I'm sure I'll figure it out, but are those the only conditions? Win to everyone, lose to everyone, Astral Finish everyone? Also, I didn't get anything different story-wise after Astral Finishing anyone; it was the same dialogue after beating them normally.

Astral Finish is never required, Distortion is sometimes but not for Tao
here's a guide that was posted earlier

If you're at 99% then you still have someone to lose to

Just used this game as my first test of my ps3 connection since moving it to my room on my new tv. Is wireless generally not the way to go on ps3 for gaming? It was very laggy.

Also, is Homshabom99 the PSN name of Homshabom? If so, that was who i randomly played against.

Can't do Ragna AF and his air juggle dp combo is a fucking bitch

Are you just talking about the 3 hit DP combo? What are you having issues with, I can get it out every time.

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.
The only AF I can pull off in normal play is Noel's, the rest are too hard for me to pull off on a whim usually. Though I still need a few from Arcade.

Learn the Clap Trap.

Watch lots of DIO's Carl.

Is the Clap Trap that loop involving airthrows? 'Cause it looks like Bang should've been able to throw escape that combo--isn't that what the !! means? Or is there something weird going on that makes it inescapable?

I'm totally fucking out of the fighting game loop but this game looks pretty damn good. I saw on the box that the collector's edition comes with a tutorial of sorts or something like that. Will that help me get into the game more and actually be able to win some matches, if I do end up trying the game out?

simply watching the DVD won't do much good, you'll have to practice. It's definitely a good resource though.

it definitely helps. just don't try starting out with some of the more advanced characters if you get easily frustrated.

If you try to throw escape the throw, if the clap is well positioned (the air throw should basically be inside the circle you see from Nirvana's clap), you will be hit by Nirvana's clap and the Carl player will go right back into the throw loop. Hence the name "Clap Trap."

Toronto GAF, my EB is getting a few of the LEs on Monday (hopefully). It's not a busy store, so if they get any extra, let me know and I'll grab another if possible.

You should call the Video Games Plus on Keele and Wilson to see if they have any copies left. They had quite a few when I picked mine up on Thursday.

Is it possible to play a decent Carl using the Ps3 controller? it seems like you always have to be holding D. How do you guys do it? Should i map it to a shoulder button or just give him up?

Just finished up the end of the story, pretty good stuff. Now to pick up the odds and ends though.

Also sets up a few characters that were NPCs in this game as playable for the next. And while it never gets implyed he should be, I hope Valkenhayn is playable in the next game, only to see what kind of Dialog we would get from him in fights :lol

Also, some guesses I am going to toss out there, the 13 in nu-13's name most likely refers to the city number and not some sort of version number, and the game over music is most likely Ragna's Sisters music box.

And Bang better not turn out to be dead. Its implied that he should of lived by some other story bits, but the plot is confusing.

Well, I called a local games store and asked about it, and he said he didn't know if he was getting them in today's shipment...

Then he calls back right as I am walking out the door to head for work and says he's getting some in, PS3 version too. So he put one aside for me and I managed to snag a copy! :D

Screw EB and their Canadian delays.

Is the fastest way out of Jin's ice just shaking the controller? or does button mashing help?

You what's bullshit? I can do HCB, f + b moves 0% of the time. I get qcb + b moves from that. Tried it with both jin and hakumen. HCB, f + C I can do every time.

It does, but the throw is techable while you can see the !! and from the sounds of things, there's tech traps if they escape the throw and you predict it.
