Those 1v1’s looked pretty rad.
Not to sound like a hipster, but I knew it! Not surprised at all tbh.
I’m glad he is the boss. A nice throwback to the old days.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Polygon Man before this game lol. He does look… unique though.
So I’m guessing nobody was able to get their hands on early copies yet, ehh? I really want to see more Dante action.
I feel like no one actually got any early copies, unfortunately.
I’m so starved for new vids/info ; ;
Of course no one has copies. The game just went gold. I’ll give it another week or two before this game leaks somewhere

My bad, guess I misinterpreted. I thought copies were on the street or something.
So I was at the event, didn’t play on stream too busy experimenting at the casual station lol! After trying out the different modes I gotta say stock mode is pointless in 1v1, better to just play the regular timed mode.
I got to run through the entire cast with one of the combat designers so it was super awesome! Seth even came by and showed me some Nariko combos haha! I liked pretty much all of the characters but especially Raiden, Dante, Ratchet, Big Daddy and Sir Dan! Can’t wait for this game to come out!
What the hell your just gonna talk shit and bounce?
Care to share your impressions on Sir Dan? How does he play out? I love the character and MediEvil, he’ll most likely end up being my main.
Seth on the stream said that Sir Dan is a crowd control character. His attacks designed to take out multiple opponents and the hitboxes of his attacks extend to hit from behind.
Yeah so Dan is kinda slow and deliberate. Definitely not a combo machine. Alot of his moves have slow startup/recovery but he feels like he’s doing damage whenever he hits. Not too sure about his meter gain but when I played I was never able to get to lvl 3. I’m sure that will change once people really start digging into the game.
Forgive me if I mixed up a few of the inputs 
[LIST]
[]N111 standard 3 hit combo. Decent speed, range, priority.
[]D1 swings sword 360. Its nice cuz it hits both sides. Startup is pretty slow though.
[]aN1 does a front flip with his sword. Also hits in front and behind. Again slow startup.
[]U1 uppercut actually pretty quick, seems to have a big hitbox.
[]S2 forward thrust with the sword, its chargeable and I’m pretty sure its unblockable once fully charged, you can followup with N111 afterward. If you hit with the tip however you’ll be out of range for the N111 combo but I think you can hit with his tackle maybe?
[]N2 battle axe. Slow startup, range is ok. Not sure if you can get anything off of this. Compared to other projectiles doesn’t seem so great…
[]U2 Diagonal bow shot. Chargeable. This is a great AA, probably his best projectile.
[]D2 the Hammer. Seems kinda like Kratos hammer except not as good lol. Its a very slow moving projectile with an arc.
[]S2 Charge! is ok without the shield, seems alot better with the shield. Shielded version is great for FFA as he can charge through multiple opp. Couldn’t get any combos off of it though…
[]N3 pulls out the shield and makes you immune to projectiles while neutral (a la Link) breaks after 3 hits, also I think if gives you armor on certain attacks and there is no negative penalty for having it out so you always wanna have your shield equipped.
[]S3 Dan drops his hand and it crawls forward, blows up on contact. Crumples opp so you can get a combo. This can be devastating if you hit a crowd…
[]U3 A very slow moving projectile with an arc trajectory. Not sure what the drumstick does, I was never able to get it to hit lol.
[]Sp1 was kinda hard to connect with. It can be aimed either diagonal or straight up. You have to be nearly touching opp for it to connect on the ground and it didn’t seem to work so well as an AA. Hopefully they buff the hitbox on this.
[]Sp2 fires off a bunch of magic missiles that track. Number of missiles depend on how many enemies are on screen. Missiles shoot straight up at first so this can work as an AA. It can be dodged so a good strat is to launch this after a knockdown and then try and rush opp down and force them to block so they won’t be able to escape.
[*]Sp3 I wasn’t able to get 3 bars with Dan so I never even got to see this lvl3 
[/LIST]
Overall he’s a lot of fun, lots of funny animations, but I think he’s going to require a bit more skill and finesse than the average character.
Is there a breakdown of these annotations anywhere?
never was a fan of smash, but once i heard rumors of nariko i pre ordered…Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh so want a heavenly sword 2, maybee some day, this will do…
then saw that kai was in the supers
My Nugga… Thanks for the fan service Devs
P.s. saw some one say seth kill was teaching nariko combos that a good sign , he loves cheap OP shit,usually a low tier warrior, but hope she is a op beast that alot play and bring interest in knowing her and kai more and heavenly sword so i can get the trilogy they had planned over at sony
I was using the notations from http://allstararena.com/
N=Nuetral
U=Up
D=Down
S=Side
Square=1
Triangle=2
Circle=3
We should set up some kind of online 1v1 tournament when this comes out.
Im down. We should do 2v2 as well!
Count me in. FFA is much too chaotic.
I am completely down for both of those things. As soon as I get my video capture stuff, I’m definitely making a combo video/strats vids. get hype.
i’m guessing none of you ever got the game early since no one said so. oh well, it’s only a few more days now. i knew the stores have the game in the back before its release date, but i didn’t think they’d have it a whole 3 weeks before.
I played a little bit of this game when beta was still up and running, using a friend’s PS3. I thought the game was fun, and definitely has potential as a competitive fighter. FFA was fun, but got old really quick…maybe it’ll be more fun with an expanded roster. I only did a few 1vs1 matches whenever two other people disconnected, and that I thought was pretty fun. I’m not sure if the beta allowed you to do 2vs2, but that seems to be the mode that people are really claiming to be the best. Regardless, I look forward to the release; it finally convinced me to get a PS3 after all these years.
