Senran Kagura

If you haven't done them yet, do the Shinobi Girl stories for each character. Those have a fixed difficulty and clearing them will left the characters on the 20 lvl mark. More than enough to tackle anything the game will throw at you.

Other than that, abuse ninpos when fighting bosses and keep your guard up at all times.

A bit of an interesting episode, though one what does bother me not by what it is trying to say, but what it is trying to say in relation to the character's role in the story.

Personally I believe this guy missed the whole damn point on the series. To avoid the usual connotations associated with the term, Takaki has avoided to use Kunoichi to refer about the girls (in the whole franchise is only used once and not talking about one of the girls). In the context of the series, gender is irrelevant. A shinobi is a shinobi, period.

Yeah, I agree. I posted something similar in the comment section. Basically by defending the series like that, you just give implications what don't exist in the series. Though I do like how he brings up the Shinobi Transformation costumes being stealthy on their own right, even if they are meant to just reflect the girls' personality.

English site for Estival Versus.

So I got EV last week and I finished story today. Aside of few confusing bits (like the odd lack of any mention of Gessen Girls' parents), it honestly was better than I thought it would be.

BTW, I noticed that the character page is getting too large and needs to be split. I have been wondering if I should make one page for the yoma, just because.

Senran Kagura continues to be a struggle for me. Not only is the game a whole lot harder due to the extra moves going both ways, but there are also cases of The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard even on Easy and on early missions.

For example, on the last 2 missions of Homura's story the AI seems to be able to stop you mid-combo whenever it pleases. And in the last mission it reads inputs and has infinite Ninpo it will use while you're using yours.

I thought these games were supposed to be fun?

I havent finished the story yet but is noticeable weaker compared to SK 2 (I also noticed it did retread plot points tackled by SK 2 at some points.) My main issue though, is the twins. They have the focus but their characterization is so shallow that take away any levity from serious scenes with their nonsense.

It would be interesting to make a separate page for the Yoma. I take you'll include all the four big ones, Shin and the Generals on it?

You're still on Versus, right? Have you tried to enter frantic mode and then spam ninpos? The increased stats on Frantic mode utterly demolish bosses' health (aside of Dai and Rin that are the most difficult bosses in the game)

You really meant Shinovi, didn't you? In any case, no, I made the jump to Estival and am running into problems. Big ones.

I... kinda gave up on Shinovi because of Estival and from being walled by Murasaki's story.

Yeah, I was thinking of adding them, and maybe the lesser yoma as well, just because why not.

Right Estival, the game is kind of poorly designed but I've found some stuff useful to tackle the game:

-Dont go for long combos EVER. The game actively punishes you for doing that, just look for the fastest way your character has to launch enemies into the air and just spam aerial raves non stop (that's it, do the full aerial combo-chase them-repeat) You have to enter shinobi mode as soon as you can of course. This has also worked for me against bosses, even on hard mode.

-Level up your characters to level 12 at least so you unlock their most basic moves and the Ultimate ninpo

-Ninpos have a tier system. Any level 2 ninpo can interrupt a level 1 and an ultimate ninpo will interrupt any other ninpo in the game. Pretty useful to break free from certain combos.

-By spamming aerial raves you should fill your scrolls quickly so don't be afraid of using ninpos if some enemy/ies is giving you problems.

That would be amazing man, if you do make the page I'm sure I could help with some info here and there.

Don't know if this is the proper thread for this but, Senran Kagura's Character Page has gotten so big now that it needs to be revamped into smaller pages. Anyone here have knowledge of how to do that stuff, because I only know how to make simple edits. And do you want to separate the shinobi factions based on their appearances from the games? For example, Hanzo and Crimson Squad can go on the 3DS page, while Gessen, Hebijo, and the Overseers go on the Versus page.

WELP

Time to preorder Uppers

Unless they add more its still not going to sell at all.

The whole thing seems a little desperate yeah, the game got a price cut and you can get ANOTHER discount for the digital version just by downloading the demo

@DivineFlame I think it should be split by the main four factions and then some. I am not sure how to sort the rest.

I made some sort of draft to the Yoma page. It is still heavily in WIP.

That Yoma page is pretty good, covering all the tropes I can infere either by gameplay or their in-game bios. I think we should add the bit about False Wall carrying slain shinobi inside them but I don't know what trope would fit, I am Humanitarian?

K, nevermind. I actually figured it out and sorted it myself. Here's the new Character Page.

Way to trash an excellent design. She doesn't look like Dai anymore.

Good job with the separation, now we're just need to index them.

To be fair, transporting an anime-styled character to a game which has more realistic artstyle is bit hard. I do find Daidouji herself looking bit off, but I really like the new costume. I wouldn't mind seeing a SK-styled drawing of it.

Also, I like how she is called "Daidouji Senpai" in that one text.

My beef with the design isn't the bodily proportions, as you said, that is to be expected due the change of styles, but that doesn't excuse the totally unnecessary changes made to the costume that take away everything that identifies Dai as her.

And c'mon Dead Or Alive managed to translate the outfit to a realistic looking artstyle without butchering it in the translation.

Makes me think she's about to hit me with 「Star Platinum」

She does look like Female Jotaro. I like.

Is horrible, the character model looks awful and game is clunkier now

Alright, can someone please add indexes on the new character pages please? Because I have no idea how indexing works. New Wave has already been taken care of. Thank you.

Now that is how I expected Dai to look in Uppers
