Arcana Heart 3 New Thread: Gameplay, Netplay, Etc.

Recommended Posts

I heard the update is going to make the game be more grounded(akin to the previous games). Not sure if that's true or not. I just hope there's a port of it. I also agree that Heart doesn't need any nerfs. She's great as it is!

Personally I would enjoy a tad less clashing and a better input reader. Stupid DPs.....

I find it hard enough to fight Fiona. However I don't know the character well enough and I keep finding armor in all the wrong places. Ends up with me cleaved in two a lot. She's one of those characters that eats people that don't know any better(like Tager and Kira).

Out of curiosity, where did you hear about the game being more grounded? The only official word, as far as I've heard is that there will be specific buffs for pairing a character with their arcana (Heart/Love, Saki/Thunder etc), and that "no character was going untouched". I wouldn't mind a more grounded game, hopefully stop a lot of that bullshit speed homing.

I've got zero problem with the clashing, and the input reader has never ever given me problems :<

I want a good Fiona. Although I am pretty content with how AH3 turned out, so I trust Examu to do the right thing.

Fiona is a fine character in AH3, as far as I'm concerned.

So everyone who told me Fiona sucked was wrong? I'm happy to hear that.

And you are talking about VJsigsig (I think that was the name), right?

Fiona was really underrated by a lot of people until VJsigsig and KFC started showing what she could do.

I heard about VJsigsig from a friend but didn't know about KFC. I need to check them out as well. Thanks.

Is there a consistent time when people netplay AH3? It would be nice to not have to just play my friends offline (they are horrible and have no desire to get better).

I usually get on late at night or when someone just asks me to play. I'd like to avoid 0-1 bars if possible unless it's just being really casual. I also stream player match lobbies when I'm on most of the time as well.

I only netplay when someone asks me to. The best place to ask for games is probably on irc (irc.mizuumi.net, #examu)

I heard it through a friend of a friend so don't expect that to be accurate. It was just a blurb and was hoping someone else could maybe follow that up with further exposition. If no one else has heard anything related to it then I can definitely put that into the "wild speculation" category. We'll see from the loctests. Assuming we'll have any data at all on our end.

I never considered Fiona a bad character. Quite to the contrary. When someone who has no idea what they are doing can clear a whole room of people with her she couldn't possibly be bad. I just don't understand the character enough to win consistently.

Edit: I netplay Friday/Saturday nights. I also stream it sometimes. Although I can play any time. I thought about setting up something for easier access to match finding but I am not sure if I will just yet. This forum is hilariously inadequate in so many areas.

Edit2: How does everyone feel about the game's loops? Like Zenia/Punishment seen here: Loop of Doom

There's been nothing to confirm the game will be more ground based.

Fiona isn't bad but she's not that good either(imo). Beating players who aren't good doesn't mean anything in terms of how good a character is.

Those loops are only possible because of the 2f suki which will most likely be gone in AH3LM!!!!!. The 2f suki lead to Fire/Wind Elsa being one of, if not the best character in the game by only needing a single hit to kill. It needs to be removed or changed so they're not possible.

It's at "Hey! Arcade" in Akihabara, its a block or so away from a bigger Arcana arcade i'm told, so hopefully some good players get in there and tear it apart.

I'm well aware that being able to beat up on people that are ignorant of a certain matchup doesn't mean the character is great or anything. I personally don't think Fiona is super good or bad. I didn't mean to imply that. Perhaps I chose my words poorly. Like I said I don't play against her enough. D: The game seems pretty balanced to me.

The Elsa crap does need to go. I've been blown up by that a few times and it's just sad. Elsa isn't even bad outside of that either haha.

I'm eager to learn more though. It's interesting that no one heard the same rumor that I did. Unless it was something that mutated into that through the grapevine. /shrug

Hey Paper Tigre, thank you for all the information.

Since I wasn't a part of earlier Arcana Hearts, what exactly is an Arcana Blast? Can someone clarify that for me?

How many tests are they doing anyways?
