I do like how the dodging and blocking are like Revengeance rather than Bayonetta and you have to use both for different things. In Bayonetta I don't think I ever blocked 'till I had the Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa, then I don't think I ever dodged.

I could do without the Naga sections. Right now I'm bashing my head against the part where you fight three mecha tanks on extreme and I just want to move on. One time my chi meter started flashing, is that a sign of doing the proper timing for a powered up move? If so, I really suck at doing it. I have the item that gives infinite chi and it lasted the rest of the level. I didn't notice any change in the moves I was doing.

Evil Eagle posted:I just played through the game. Maybe my hands are dumb or something but I swear I would like, hit twice with Water and then switch to Earth for the finisher and it would start a new Earth chain. Like, [][]/\ is an Earth combo, so I would do [][] in Water and switch to Earth, but that /\ wouldn't be the same as if I had hit Earth [][]. If that makes sense. Regardless, I did love how each style had it's purpose-I didn't really like Earth at first until I realized it completely owns for one-on-one because of the stagger. Also Airbending is awesome and I can't wait to see how broken the beginning of the game is with it. Does Naga get any Airbending moves on those stages when you replay?

Humerus posted:Does Naga get any Airbending moves on those stages when you replay? Yep. Naga gets a speed up move. The downside is that it also makes you jump insanely far which is actually really detrimental if there's a series of consecutive pits coming up. You basically need to have Earthbending charged to compensate and even that can not be enough sometimes.

Another question for anyone who's done the probending stuff-one of the tips says that as you level Fire and Earth, it makes Mako and Bolin better in probeding-is this a huge difference (that you can tell) or will probending always just come down to you anyway? I want to try to do it on Ace but if it will be beneficial to level my Earth and Firebending I'll hold off.

You can't let them solo the stages but they'll frequently hold their own and pretty regularly will knock out opponents without your help. The biggest flaw I've seen is that the AI isn't great at counter-countering which tends to get them oneshotted. If they decide to try dodging they're almost unhittable.

Wow, I was liking the game up until these dumb robot fights. They are SO BAD. Maybe there's something I'm not getting here, but even with health items I can barely survive long enough to beat them. It's really frustrating having to fight these things.

They were a pain for me right up until the point when I figured out what the point of charging was. If you charge up an attack with triangle/y and then dodge without firing the attack off, it'll charge your chi and all of your attacks will do more damage until it winds down, which helps immensely against the robots. Also, you have to learn when to parry and when to dodge, if you stick close to it and use earthbending, it'll use parryable attacks more often.

Robots basically are there for you to use Earthbending on. They're slow, have huge vulnerability periods, and are generally pretty easy targets. The big exception is The Char's Custom Red Mechatank which is a bit faster, but otherwise has a lot of the same flaws.

You can absolutely feel the kind of chimera Platinum has put together in Korra. The block/dodge-as-attack mechanics from MGR, Korra's flips are straight out of Bayonetta, and the firebending jets feel a lot like boosting in Vanquish. Plus (final boss spoiler) dudes are pretty much a copy-paste of Armstrong, mechanics wise, with the elemental barrier in place of Zandatsu-ing the neck. Final boss not-spoiler: I'm getting my rear end kicked. Speaking of: AccountingNightmare posted:The game also has one of the coolest super modes I've ever seen. Goddrat. Not sure this should be a spoiler, considering it's a part of the property that appeared in the very first episode of Last Airbender. But goddamn, YES. The Avatar State feels exactly as powerful as it should. The whole point is if Aang or Korra or whoever is using it, the fight is already over, because a fight requires the other party to have a chance of victory.

Plus (final boss spoiler) dudes are pretty much a copy-paste of Armstrong, mechanics wise, with the elemental barrier in place of Zandatsu-ing the neck. Basically, there are a few tricks: His Armstrong-style rush-grab can actually be parried, but only parried. If you mistime it you get grabbed and slammed but time it right and you do an awesome mini-QTE where Korra does a teleport-punchrush kinda thing on him. He'll also always follow up the line-of-lightning attack with that. His other physical attacks can also be parried regular-style. It's the single best way to do damage to him. Bait him into attacks. He's got a lot of really obvious tells. Even when he goes to the background you can parry the rocks he throws back at him. Keep your chi maxed as often as possible and focus on Earth or Firebending. Earthbending is more damaging but slower so you have to focus on his vulnerable periods. Still, you'll tear through his health bar if you do so. Firebending is a bit more reliable, especially at level 3 where it becomes effectively a teleport-punch. You have a few seconds when the elemental barrier comes up to Chi Charge. Always be at max Chi before you break his barrier. Honestly you fight him pretty much like you do Armstrong. You can go all-in on him (and it feels satisfying when you do) but you really have to get the parrying down perfect.

Hm, I'm having trouble. I just started and I have waterbending, and it kinda feels like all I can safely do is do light attacks, dodge and block/counter. Using heavy attacks/that ice waterbending attack you buy from the shop/charging anything just leads to me getting my face smacked in.

Once you can buy the water rope move from the shop Water becomes a much better style for direct offense, since water rope drags enemies forward while also being unblockable (?). Once you get it though you can start doing Y Y more reliably, though the ice wall part is difficult to connect since the first Y always pushes thing away. That said, any puddles left by Y will also become ice walls when you finally do Y Y, which is cool. Problem is Air exists as a style.......... The game becomes much better once you get Earth and Fire to complement Water. Water become much better once you get water rope and ice daggers.

Once I got earthbending the game was way easier. It remained my favourite bending style for a while because of the high damage stunning attacks that were great for just grinding a single enemy into dust. Then firebending came along for rapid attacks to complement the slow, smashy style of earthbending. Aaaaand then I got airbending which is just fantastic. It seems like waterbending is meant to be ranged damage with the water whip to drag enemies close for an earth/firebending pummeling, earthbending is big powerful hits, firebending is speed and some mobility and airbending is...ranged damage, aoe damage, crowd control AND mobility all in one package. It's pretty ridiculous.

It's pretty ridiculous. Airbending is crazy good but is less good at single-target damage than other stuff. I'd say the biggest overlap is in Earthbending/Firebending but even they are kinda different. (Earth is slower and more powerful but has the shortest range and least mobility, fire is weaker and has poorer AoE capabilities but makes you zip all over the place and has less startup lag.) They really did a good job making all four styles fun though.

I think it's a bit odd they start you off with waterbending since it's pretty much only useful for ranged attacks compared to the other 3.

The Moon Monster posted:I think it's a bit odd they start you off with waterbending since it's pretty much only useful for ranged attacks compared to the other 3. The avatar cycle goes water, earth, fire, air and then back to water. And if she wasn't the Avatar, Korra would presumably be just a waterbender. Does make me kinda wish that waterbending got some melee stuff, though. Tonraq's style of waterbending seems like it'd work great in a combat orientated game.

Yeah, you get the styles back in the order that an Avatar in Korra's position in the cycle would learn them. It also makes some mechanical sense. You get waterbending as a means to keep distance, as multiple opponents are hard early on. Then earthbending for single-target burst damage against big targets. Then fire and air for crowd control.

Man what is it with Platinum and shoe-horning in lovely minigames? Those dog levels are exactly one of those lovely infinite-running mobile games and they suck assssss The game is pretty decent, even though the robots are annoying to fight. They're essentially an extended QTE sequence in the way you have to approach the battle.

I thought fighting the robots were bad. I thought the Naga parts were bad. But fighting robots WHILE riding Naga is literally The Worst. It's like they TRIED to make the worst segment ever. People said the Space Harrier part of Bayonetta was bad, but at least that only happened once.

A few things that make Water strong that most seem to be missing, is that the charged regular attacks will split in to additional projectiles that will seek other targets nearby, and the charged pummel counter will also freeze Mecha tanks for a short while. Pummel with water, switch to fire and go ham. Pretty handy on Extreme. It's a long enough freeze that you can squeeze in a whole combo ending with fire breath.
