Hers is better than Ryu's actually. Hers puts her behind the enemy that attacked her, even if they attacked from range. She can do all sorts of stupid stuff with it.

Not consistently...I've found Ryu has a tendency of teleporting in place a lot when the enemies move too much.

Happens to me when I use Cicada Surge against Volf constantly. Teleport in place and get hit anyway lol.

Still two UN trials and grinding from level 56 to 99...been struggling with trials. Had a decent partner last night but there's still too much luck involved.

I'm not stuck on any, really. I consistently get to the wave of Genshin's at the end of UN1 and then something random happens to me or whoever is my partner. The most common bullshit is the Genshin's we're fighting randomly switch targets and shoot a void at someone who is watching the wrong way. Since that'll kill you instantly even with a full health bar, that's game over. Also tried 5 but that one is stupid thanks to Alexei. 6 Marbus usually kills my partner because he does a ton of damage with his dash even when blocked properly and most people aren't comfortable using 360y to avoid attacks for some reason. Did 8 too but that one is just a clusterfuck of craziness and you just spin and hope for the best. Made it to the last wave of that one and Doku killed my partner with a ground pound.

So much luck involved it's insane. You attack and pray that the AI doesn't decide to kill you.

And this is why it's very hard for me to take the game seriously.

Luck, randomness and cheap crap.


...and yet I still love it for some reason...

I love Razor's Edge. The trials, though, are a holdover from NG3 and in a way they are holdovers from an experiment for Sigma 2. They were not properly playtested (or tested at all, most likely) and they are horribly broken. Genshin's habit of shooting a void at someone, animation and all, and having it then travel at a player behind him is a great example. Marbus flipping out and sometimes outright leaving the levels because his attacks aren't just tracking one player is another. Zedonius landing and taking flight rapidly, Fiend Genshin changing targets midstring...the list goes on and on. These are borderline impossible without abusing certain moves over and over. I hate them.

But the rest of the game? Love it. If we could get a proper dodge back, fix the dead zone on dodging, fix some of the targeting issues, vary AI patterns to be more calculating in attacks than just looking like first time DoA players being handed a controller and mashing, and a couple of other things, it would possibly be the best action game I've ever played. Black is hard to top but the framework is there for it to be dethroned.

I must respectfully disagree.

Boring design aside, the enemy attacks, movements, AI patterns, hit response etc. combined with Ryu's idiocy and the other problems you mentioned would require pretty much re-tooling the whole thing from the ground-up to be better than Black.

For UN1, 3rd round one partner kills 1 genshin while other holds, then kill both same time, 4 round 1 hold 2 genshin while other 1 FG, then kill both genshin same time, now last round will only have 2 FG and no

UN6 Marbus should be piece if cake, he dies in a couple of seconds lol

Edit: Finally got plat

Soooo I just got this game. I'm still not finished but I do have one question for the more experienced here...When do I attack the Alchemist enemies? D: I have no problem dodging their attacks but I take for-fucking-ever to kill them since they seem to block or dodge even when it seems like they're vulnerable. What should I be looking for?

Also the T-Rex boss was disappointing as hell. I was so stoked to fight a FRICKIN DINOSAUR!!!!111! but then it ended up being the most boring fight in the entire series. My heart is broken.

Other than that this game is pretty cool
