The thing is, a lot of the girl's longer combos will bounce an opponent high enough that they can Triangle you out of your attacks and it will happen if you go for it every time. The best bet I've found is to use short combo strings with a Triangle to launch, then Aerial Rave and Triangle back down.

Made a number of hard fights much easier once I realized which hits launch them too high and to Triangle out before it reaches there.

That said I had no real reason to believe this game would be as good as it is but goddam is it fun. Katsuragi is pure fire and voiced by Yuu Kobayashi so I have to main her.

Ugh, some characters like Minori are annoying because of exactly what you said. Or hell, the enemy automatically dodges your attack because the next Square attack misses them because you launched them into the air.

Thankfully, it's not the issue with a lot of characters, from what I've noticed.

 

[Corgi]

katsuragi is fantastic as a character.

wish her weak combo was better. super hard to land hits lol.


no clue why for such a juggle heavy game that there is no air guard/parry system.

"... WELP. Time to level."

Seriously, glad to have them both. I love Daidoji's look. DAT HAIR too.

 

[DXLelouch153]

since the chars are so cheap ill pick them up with a 20$ card when i get Tales of Hearts R

 

[CielTynave]

Well, I finally finished up all the stories and the final battle. Had just under 29 hours clocked in. I definitely enjoyed it overall, but it did feel like kind of a slog in the last few hours. When I first started I was enjoying the story a little bit with Hanzo, but much less so as I went on since none of the stories seemed to match up at all and contradicted each other in a bunch of places. The discrepancies made a bit more sense with Burst since the Hebijo story was added into the rerelease from what I heard, but with all of the stories here from the get go the differences actually brought down my enjoyment of it all. Kind of worried about SK2 in that aspect too since it takes places in between Burst and this and seems to make the canon a bit more murky again. Still haven't gotten any of the DLC, not sure if I will since I'm kind of burned out at the moment.

On the plus side though, one recent game I've actually finished and didn't just chuck into the backlog once something else came out lol.

 

[pariah164]

Bah gawd.

Hikage forever best girl.

 

[Demoskinos]

Do you have to have story cleared for the DLC characters to show up? Cause Rin isn't showing up for me granted I just started the storyline for that school.

 

[bobohoro]

I also miss the Air Ninpos.

Just finished Mirai's character arc and really liked it. The final battle and the Deathboobs in the picture made me laugh.

And Hikage is still easily best girl, in both character and playstyle.

 

[Zonic]

The DLC characters only have character-specific missions, they don't appear in the story missions.

I already had Hanzo beat when I tried Daidouji, so I don't know if you actually have to complete the school's main story first. It didn't say that you had to on the product page.

Yeah, Daidouji's missions were rather easy for the most part (though fighting 2 girls at the same time was kind of annoying), but then the difficulty just spikes so high.

& totally a fan of her hair on both forms. Again, her Shinobi form's hair & hat feels like a reference to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure:

 

[MagiusNecros]

The battle against Rin as Daidouji is A level bullcrap. I'm convinced she cheats during that fight. Super Shinobi indeed.

I only say that because the game is absolutely recognizing the Rin DLC as her costumes and stuff are there in the dress up menu she's just not there on the character select.

Yup, I always found that amusing. I do believe it's an intentional design choice, like with most if not all of the original girls from Burst.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Probably have to beat the game. My guess is you have to unlock the original Hebijo characters.

 

[OniBarubary]

The Hebijo storyline is by far the best one, with some of the best characters, but oh my god do I hate almost all of their outfits. Immediately switched them out as soon as I got something better. Miyabi's pretty great but I've found myself absolutely wrecking shit as Imu or Ryona, sometimes Ryobi depending on the person. Murasaki is a great character and I like her character type but oh my god do I fucking suck with her. I just can't compensate for her range. Meanwhile I spin-chain with Ryona and, hard to believe but I tried to see if I could do it, I actually beat a girl before she could transform on one of the first stages when Ryona was like 32 or something.

I find myself really liking a lot of the girls in this actually, though I'm completely unsurprised to find myself disliking almost all the Hanzo girls save Katsuragi. Gessen is where it's at.

Grab the DLC eventually.

 

[Corgi]

yeah i hope the sequel for this has better boss fights. Theres no way to tell which moves have priority vs others (although enemy attacks always seem to have priority!).

And you losing camera lock if they are too far away is stupid.

Give me air ninpos, air counter, air parry, ukemi, dodge offset,

 

[erpg]

I'd like a sequel to scrap the combat system entirely and start from scratch. It's worse (and less flashy) than musou games, which is something I didn't really think was possible.

 

[Vylash]

the only thing a sequel (well EV i guess) needs is a better camera and an air parry system

Spoiler

and more Hikage

Senran Kagura 2 is worse with bosses, I'm hoping Estival Versus gets it right which would technically be the sequel for Shinovi

I find the camera in SV to be fine though. The problem is some stages (noticeably those in the Hebijo story) have environments that are too small for the camera to properly move around in. In EV they should attempt to standardize stage sizes.

I can see why they didn't allow the parry system in the air. It's already hard for some characters to break guards already, now imagine air guarding and air parrying. Characters with Breach Arts with short range would be more screwed than they already are.

EDIT: I just noticed that Homura can do a shoryuken when fighting her. I don't recall being able to do that when playing her!

 

[antibolo]

Played the game in public transit today. Feels good man

whats your outfit for the gal your playing lol

 

[FlyingSaucer]

I've just made a killing on the PSN : Rin & Daidouji, both costumes sets, and the Halloween bonus.

Now, onto the dressing room to test all those new costumes !

 

[MagiusNecros]

For those having trouble with that Rin battle. Try blocking with R and you can wait for an opening and use your Strong attack at full charge to launch right into Aerial Wave. You can also block and go right into one of your special attacks from your blocking stance.

Makes it much more manageable.

Your guard can be broken but not for like 7-10 seconds of getting wailed on.

 

[Zonic]

Finally finished Gessen's story. Should be able to start on the 3rd school later this week.

& DAMN IT, YUMI, WHY DOES YOUR L+O SPECIAL HAVE SUCH A SMALL RANGE. I had to restart the final mission because I used it & despite having a sliver of health left, Asuka only went in it when the attack was almost done, yet wasn't defeated....

Edit: Oh yeah, something silly I noticed when using Shiki's L+O Special. She basically gets rid of her clothing with bats acting as censors.........but then I noticed she still has her panties on, making half of the bat censor pointless.

 

[ShinMaruku]

I did the same. I even did the underwear mode.

 

[Jathaine]

I'm not worried about playing the game in public. I only worry about playing it around certain people that I actually know.

I'd play it around my sister and some of my friends but aside from that I'm not so sure.
Heck, I even let my sister try out the lingerie lotto the other day.

She thinks its a funny/interesting game but I'm sure if I went over to my mom's and showed it to her, the reaction would be different!

 

[Zonic]

So am I suppose to be able to control Imu's L+Triangle special? I tried it for the first time and it seems to only bounce away from where the boss is.

 

[MagiusNecros]

If it's the Destructo Disk then no it has a preset path and you have no control over it.

 

[Zonic]

Bah, that sucks. It's gonna be a pain to use in smaller areas.

Least I unlocked the rest of the Hebijo school. Murasaki feels like the slowest attacker, though maybe I just need to level her up.

Hmm, she's a bit better now. Doesn't feel as slow as I thought she did. & cool, got the trophy for tearing through 1,000 pieces of clothing during her 3rd character mission.

 

[Vylash]

apparently being good at the game doesn't mean you can go online without getting decimated, who knew

The real problem is the amount of sound effect the game can use that can be intrepretated in a weird way .
I play this game in public/near friends but with headphones.

It's not me but at some point , there is always someone who can't concentrate ( for some reason ) or someone who comes near me and want me to lend my vita for him to play the game.

"those sound effects" , crazy this effect

 

[ShinMaruku]

Katsuragi in frantic mode is awesome I just run in and use her level 2 and bam other girl outcold if I land it with her in the center of it.

 

[deadfolk]

Katsuragi ... is awesome

Fixed.

So the world has been mended.

 

[Yasumi]

Got my SK2 Nyuu Nyuu Pack today. I'm probably going to keep it sealed until I obtain a used JP 3DS. Soundtrack is awesome though.

 

[ShinMaruku]

Fixed.

She's most awesome in her underwear.

 

[Vylash]

unpopular opinion time, Katsuragi ain't that great

Spoiler

in battle

Which shipping option? I picked registered air packet or something, the cheapest one that's registered

To be fair basically all characters are capable of 1-2 hit KOs in frantic with a level 2

 

[Yasumi]

I went with EMS, the most expensive. As a collector (and maybe slightly OCD), I usually feel like the longer it's floating around in the postal system, the more chances it has to get bashed up.

If you choose that option it could take a little while. I pretty much always use EMS when I order on AmiAmi but then again I have little patience when I want my goodies.

Hoping my copy ships out next week with the rest of my October order.

 

[ShinMaruku]

Just bought Rin. Do I have to finish the game to unlock her?

 

[Zonic]

It seems like it. At the very least, I know you have to unlock the Crimson school since she's considered part of that group.

 

[Snkfanatic]

November is here! Now to wait a couple weeks for some Cooking Life.

 

[SerTapTap]

It's a random detail but I really like the shape of Ryobi's eyes.

Finally going to finish up these side stories and the crimson squad.

Think I'll hold off on all the DLC. Are the 2 characters the only gameplay ones?

 

[Zonic]

Yup, everything else is costume-related. Each character gives you bonus costumes, shinovi outfits, & lingerie, along with their own character stories (no trophies for beating them, though).

 

[DXLelouch153]

when do you guys think well get Senran Kagura 2?
i know the creator said he wants to shorten time between localizations

 

[SerTapTap]

Please tell me Yomi undergoes character development and stops being the biggest stick in the mud on the planet. I heard people actually like her and am very confused. Unless they share her appreciation for bean sprouts.

 

[PAULINK]

Late next year if we're lucky.

I'm betting on next spring actually.
