Kid Icarus: Uprising

[PokeTrainerJay]

Perhaps things that have high cancellation while high cont. fire (Midnight Palm?). I'm not sure if the Palm's cont. fire is quick enough to block it all.

And maybe Staff's and Bow's which have long range.

Oh yeah, I fought some guy with a 6/0 midnight palm with +4 dash ch. shot yesterday who kept getting about 6 kills more than me... The problem with the Compact Arm is that it's hard to dodge attacks when I'm using cont. fire.

[PokeTrainerJay]

True. Perhaps use Lightweight or Tirelessness (I'm not sure if Esch has said it)?

[Skyler 99]

I just got 11 kills and 0 deaths with my end-all arm :3

[PokeTrainerJay]

Wow nice :P

[Escheria]

Hm, ok. The autoreticle/slipshot combo wasn't really working out. The strategy for that was to hide somewhere and just pretend that I'm using eyetracks :/ I think I'll go for E Charge and reflect barrier, and if I can fit it, Warp. I like Warp.

Out of curiosity, what counters to that set do I need to look out for?

* Most importantly Brawler Claws. Their Cont Fire has high cancellation and paired with some mean stuff it will beat the hell out of you.
* Guardian Orbitars will setup shields to protect themselves and kill you with their cont fire.
* Cannons have neat shots with high cancellation that will trap you, gotta watch out for them, but most cannon users on randoms are noobs :/
* Opponents Reflect Barrier will screw you without Slip Shot. You will have to walk around it or shoot under/over it if you have a lot of homing, are close enough and under works only w/ SS.

What's nice, though, is that I have a greater range than almost all of those!

[Escheria]

Actually, no. Compact arm definitely has more range than Brawlers, but that's it, actually. But Brawlers don't care about that. As for Reflect Barrier users, that depends entirely on what they use.

And it's not really about the range, if you can move close to them faster than they run, then the range doesn't matter. Compact arm is pretty speedy, take advantage of that.

[Skyler 99]

Did I mention they have +2 shot range? Because they do.

And yeah, I love the speed on it.

[Master Leo]

Guardian Orbs have major range. Way more than a Compact Arm. Cannons do too, as Esch stated.

Standing Cont. Fire Brawler Claws with Shot Cancellation will eat your Compact's Cont. Fire alive. I dont really see you having much trouble with Cannons, except for Doom and Leo.

[Skyler 99]

I did not know Guardians had a large range 0.0 I would have guessed they'd have a short one since they are shaped like shields.

[Master Leo]

The charge shots of Guardian Orbs have decent range. Its the Cont. Fire that has major range, hence why Esch said people just put up a shield to protect themselves while they murder you with Cont. Fire from a long distance.

Been about a week since someone last posted. The least active I've seen it in ages...

[Skyler 99]

I'm still here. I got a new silver bow and started filming some of my ffa matches for youtube.

[PokeTrainerJay]

I'm still here. I'm haven't played on KI:U in ages though...

Took me FOREVER to earn the Centurion Orbitars... Just earned them now...

Congratulations :3 I needed only an evening to get all weapons ^^

[Skyler 99]

Speaking of centurions, is it just me or is it really difficult to use their backwards-dash charged shot well?

Lucky..... How? Was that your first playthrough?

[Escheria]

Lucky..... How? Was that your first playthrough?

Yes. I got nearly all of them on the first playthrough and then used a list to get the rest. The challenges weren't too hard to complete.
