Arcana Heart 3 - Out Now, Best Fighter Ever

[Setsuna]

As long as you all stay away from Heart, I'm okay.

Gimme an alternative and ill consider it :] (I was going to main Heart xD)

[Super Robot War]

Like I said, I just love the cast, I am going to be sticking to Konoha and picking up Zenia most likely, but then again, I played only the first game, i'm sure the third is very different.

[furix]

Well, I really hope they don't mess anything up in the port. Doesn't it say somewhere that they are adding frames or something like that? Also the screen ratios or w/e.. Both of those sound like trouble to me. Also gotta remember that Arc System Works has messed up in the past with their ports. Like in GGXX with some moves not acting as they did in arcades, or GGXXAC with bridget missing some moves and some move properties with Johnny being different... and not to mention the freeze glitch with I-No vs A.B.A. Of course, this was all fixed when they re-released the game and when we got the american port. But, the glitches were still there.

[4r5]

they didn't fix the speed when they re-released AC ;_;

but whatever, ah3 port arcade perfect or not, i'm going to play it (chaos breaker also, woooo)

[Prinnical Shock]

Which players should I look at for Saki and Fiona vids

[SolxBaiken]

I don't think we have to worry too much about the port thanks to the magic of the internet if anything bad does manage to slip in they can patch it out ASAP, also since both ratios will be provided and AH3 has been shown running in 16:9 in the past I doubt you have much to worry about, I doubt the game will be altered much in the case of two players with different settings, at worst it'll be like the digital release of MvC2

Also there's not much to learn about Saki :/ She's your typical Guile clone with 1 tactic: flash kick>flash kick>super flash kick x.x

She's only high on the tiers because both of her special flash kicks are crazy strong

[Antihippy]

Any good vids of kamui?

Sleepy ~.~ I'll post more vids in the morning, just say if you have any request

[Antihippy]

Thanks for the vids.

She reminds me a little bit of hibiki.

There needs to be more chicks using iaido in fighting games.

edit: wait, what the fuck does the flower arcana do? o_O

[Rasiel-sama]

Is there any tier list for AH3? I wonder how huge it can be.

I want to say that if there were enough of them, the opponent would be slowed down, or that it could be used for trap purposes, but it didn't seem to do anything. I also thought once it ripened she could hit it and get something, no luck there either.

[Prototype909]

Weiss, Scharlachrot and Lilica are the most appealing designs to me so far...now I just need to find some gameplay vids. But srsly, Scharlachrot...dat psycho red haired bitch ftw.

[Super Robot War]

I like pretty much all of the characters, Schar looks like a long range character for sure though.

[SolxBaiken]

I didn't play much Sugoi so the Flower Arcana is a mystery to me...but it seems to be mostly for show (and worthless) the Plant is much better = w= Maybe flower gives some awesome properties? It has a pretty nice Blaze but that's about it IMO... You get some slow meh damage flower projectiles :/ ...yeah...

And Scharlachrot is a cooler Hazama (except without the lol rabbit tactics, because she doesn't run from you, you run from HER!). I love Weiss but her sword theme could've been more developed, but I still like what she does now (ugh I wish people would stop saying 'sword car' :/ )

I'm not going to be on much today so here a special treat__________

All Arcana Blazes

All Critical Hearts (Part 1|Part 2)

All Mirror Intros

Also I'm going to try going to Arcade UFO today/tomorrow if there's anything you specifically want to know please say so and I'll try it out. Probably gonna start building the Arcana/Geist guide ~.~

[Prototype909]

Also, wtf is up with everyone in this game having Ragna health and SNK boss damage

[Kurushii]

Their super lolis. What you want them to be tanks? lol

[SolxBaiken]

Also, wtf is up with everyone in this game having Ragna health and SNK boss damage

Because it's fun We don't have time for your long ass combos with proration >.< we gotta go to class :3

Also NO one wins if you pick flower :/

^ Konoha(Flower) Kamui(Halo) vs. Weiss(Lightning)

Heart(Fire) Nazuma(Wind) vs. Eko(Sound)

[Super Robot War]

Also, wtf is up with everyone in this game having Ragna health and SNK boss damage

I noticed that, they all have Ragna health and REAL SOVIET DAMAGE! on every combo lasting longer than 5 hits. Supers just drain health like crazy.

[SolxBaiken]

Some qualifier matches (for Tougeki)

Yoriko vs Konoha/Kira vs Schar

Clarice vs Dorothy/Fiona vs Akane/Mei-Fang vs Yoriko/Kira vs Yoriko

"Athena Knockout" tournament

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Part 5

This is probably it for me today, enjoy :3

edit: wait, what the fuck does the flower arcana do? o_O

You stand on top of a plant and it gives you certain effects. For example one of them will give you meter. I don't know what all the flower effects are though. The main reason people use it is the beastly projectile that covers a whole bunch of the screen. Which is like even more useful in this game because of the prolific use of homing dash.

[Selphy]

Can anyone post any good Akane vids? Gotta start doing my homework =/

[Antihippy]

Also, wtf is up with everyone in this game having Ragna health and SNK boss damage

That's a good thing.

We should go back to when fighting games aren't afraid to give you big damage.
