That moment when it said you unlocked Kasumi was the best

You quoted me twice and didn't even get my edited part in there haha. But yeah, it was a pretty big sense of accomplishment. I'm just annoyed that I had to play like a fucking idiot to get her. My normal playstyle is much too fast and aggressive to really enjoy having to play like this.

EDIT: Alright fuck eating. Kasumi is brutal as all hell. Her targeted kunai that she throws decapitates enemies, her OT's generally involve bisecting the enemies, and her UT slices through crowds like a knife through butter, leaving pieces everywhere. Ninpo is cool too and probably the best one in the game. Not sure where her weapon name came from though. Would've thought it would be...well, not "Shrouded Moon."

Have you tried Square,Square, Triangle on delimbed enemy? It's so badass

God damn it's 2am I'm in bed and I feel like wanting to play RE lol >.>


Oh yea you can jiggle her (*)(*) too by shaking the controller XD

Is it like a combo OT? I'm not following what that'd do. Hold on, lemme go try.

Can't remember but it does a cool looking OT

I just tried it (XXY on Xbox) and she just backflips when you hit Y; she doesn't go into an OT at all. Am I misreading something?

I posted a video previous page and she does, are you doing it on a delimbed enemy?

 

[CyberEvil]

....yes. That is what you mentioned doing. The problem is that you can't OT an enemy midstring. I've seen all of her OTs now though, I think. Is it the one where she flips back and then does like a flying swallow at them and cuts them in half?

 

[DR2K]

Next NG, Kasumi will be the main character. Calling it.

 

[CyberEvil]

LOL. No.

I think

No one can replace ryu as a main character

People who pre-order should get to play as muramassa

The one you're talking about isn't done that way. To do that one (which I also think is her coolest) hit Heavy attack during a dash at the de-limbed enemy. Always comes out when you do that.

 

[Fiend Busa]

Hey Cyber, for trials can you take more than one weapon?

 

[CyberEvil]

I don't think so. In 3 you had to choose and the only other method of switching weapons happens in single player and pauses the game, which I doubt will happen in multiplayer. Got pick a weapon and stick with it.

 

[Brute]

I've played it 4 bloody times in Chapter Challenge- still "A"
I don't friggin' get it. I got Ayane's level on my first try easily.

I've started using the SoB thing, but even still I can't quite break through the S threshold. Driving me insane.
I must be doing something wrong...

The bonuses you get for health and time are negligible so don't bother worrying about them. Now my method was different than g-gill's in that I never attacked at all short of doing a SoB. Once the multiplier hit 3.0 I immediately unleashed my stored up UT to score 3,000+ karma per kill in it, then start again. If you aren't consistently getting the multiplier to 3.0 it's because you're burning your UT which zeroes it out. g-gill I believe de-limbs the enemies first, most likely to bait out their desperation grabs to SoB them, but I think the risk is too high for that. All it takes is an off-screen enemy to guard-stun you for an extra second and you eat their attack. ON MN that's death.

Really there's no trick to it other than taking your time. With Ayane I cleared 300,000 karma on all difficulties with the end of level bonuses by doing it that way. On Ryu's level, don't forget to purposefully jump down to where you came from before doing the kunai climb. There's another battle down there that you won't get if you don't miss a wall run or purposefully jump down.

I completely forgot about that extra battle!

I'll try it again using almost exclusively SoB. Thanks for the tips, man.

I was also trying to rush it for the time bonuses. I'll go slower this time 'round.

 

[CyberEvil]

No problem. We are a community after all. Everyone should be able to try out Kasumi before launch. She's worth the effort, in my opinion.

 

[Brute]

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it.

I'm surprised most people find it easier to do the SoB with Ayane. Her speed is nice but she keeps doing that 236K attack (from DOA) when I go for the heavy, which never seems to trigger the SoB. I could refrain from directional input, but then she attacks the wrong person or doesn't reach them on time.

edit: Think I figured out what my problem is. The Bloody counter declines faster than I can build it unless I resort to traditional de-limb->OT tactics for maintenance. I need to find a way to lure them into the red grabs more frequently.
And look at that? There are wolverine fiends in the demo. Didn't know that until I fell in that secret fight on MN just now. xD

 

[Prince Adon]

Soooo. How exactly do you unlock Kasumi? Getting MN on every mission?

 

[Brute]

Getting an "S" rank on both missions in every difficulty via Chapter Challenge.
