Brushing the Field - Amaterasu Thread

Okami was an amazing game that came out during the PS2 Renaissance along with LH2, Shadow of the Colossuss, and others. Even though it only sills 300k on PS2 idk how it got on Greatest Hits since it needed to sell 1mill. But it seems everyone heard the name and the greatness but nobody had the urge to play it. You can call it the Panzer Dragoon Saga of PS2 (both came out at the end of their respective console’s lifecycles) but PDS didn’t get a re-release with motion control.

Tbh Veil of Mist as a super seems pretty lame to me (would rather have Lucky Mallet Hoyt opponent and Issun attacks) her Lvl 3 better be fly. I wanna see Cherry Bombs. It also seems that Ammy’s airdash is the vine? Hopefully with alt. colors will give alt. weapons like a blue Ammy gives her Infinity Judge, Excorxism Beads, and Seven Strikes. That would be drool worthy.

Funny how popular Okami is as after she is playable in MvC3!

SotC was hype though, EVERYONE was talking about that game. not as much with okami

And KH2 also. I just think that SotC was more familiar to Western audiences with it’s medeival type architecture which was opposite of old Nippon. Both pushed PS2 limits IMO.

I wonder if Ammy still has the same victory howl that she does in the game with the sunlight and flowers on her!?

hopefully capcom adds her taunt where she pisses on people lol!

She will be high on the tier list is what im feeling. She has great mobility, her supers do crazy damage, and she has a far attack range (just as much as dante’s sword). I have a feeling shes gonna be a fan favorite in this game.

^ I really hope not…

I’m selfish like that…I want her all to myself.

still can’t believe she’s gonna be in the game though…so much hype.

^Yeah i cant believe it either! Im playing the game again as a dedication to that and to see what moves they should use. The FireWorks Bomb is a MUST!!!

She uses it to lay keep distance and do damage to foes that are too strong to attack with regular weapons!

I would also love Cherry Bombs and weapon changes with alt. colors. In her trailer she uses power slash and a price of paper fell frm the sky with the drawing of it so it seems they’re incorporating them well.

qcb+Light=Slash (light damage and a tad more stun than usual)
qcb+Mid=Wind (no damage major stun)
qcb+Hard=Bomb (BIG DAMAGE)

Those can also be her assists!

Cherry Bomb traps with wind or quick bomb explosions with ink bullets or power slash would be gdlk. She should have a Gold colored version with Seven Strikes, Life Beads, and Snarling Beast. And a Black/Blue color with Blade of Kusanagi, Infinity Judge, and Excorcism Beads. :sad: Beautiful

Does anyone know the motion for her demon scroll move?

Demon Scroll move? :confused:

You can NOT build meter well with Mist!

Any hits you do land build like 5% of normal moves while theirs is regular. IOW…you are helping THEM out!

I have played completely through Okami but I don’t remember the mist at all lol.

Yeah, but it looks like they can’t block, unless in every vid they just decide not to. It looks like the Ammy player is specifically going for an unblockable projectile attack after the knockdown on that latest video in the video thread, and it would have to be a pretty bad player to have not blocked it.

I think they deliberately chose not to block it, a slow down and every attack being unblockable is a bit drastic.

Shame that Mist doesn’t build meter, but I could see it getting stale and unfun for the opponent going through a Mist “trap”.

My apologies, it’s called the exorcism slip.

looking at the various movies again, it looks like the trick is greatly increased recovery times.

If its as hard to block as it looks during mist, they’re gonna change it some more;

I figure it’s more like having to catch a person doing a special move or a slow normal move, so slowing down time would make the recovery longer or when they’re still stuck in the animation you get a free combo.
