Tag climax is a disappointment in that the verses are way too short for the amount of setup time/loading between them.

Also we're only two games into the series but Chapter 13+ still manages to pull strings. Best videogame moment this year.

Tag Climax is anything but a disappointment. Try some of the verses on 3-Star.

If you think Tag Climax is a disappointed because the verses are too short, please do 3 Stars and come back to me.

Or do longer verses. There are short verses but boss battles and stuff are longer by default.

Tag climax is an excellent way to earn some extra halos and show off which is all that's really important.

Also, Evil Eagle I checked Rodin's three star and he's by himself. It seems like it just amps his stats up.

I've only done one tag climax match so far, but it seems like using slower weapons is not really viable. I had the hammer and Undine, while my partner had the dual swords and Alraune; my score at the end was 1/10 of his. Am I missing something obvious?

I think the hammer is mostly a specialty weapon (pretty sure it cracks shields) and Undine just seems to flat-out suck. While the game always favors speed, I'm having good times with Chernabog right now because its Wicked Weaves are so lengthy you can get them operating independently of your actual combo. So many hair knives

Chapter XIV oh my god

I am in love with playing in the mech. It's so badass. Of course if you want to scum non stop for Pure Platinums just jump cancel with punch over and over until whatever is stunlocked and dies horribly. Even got to get some long needed vengeance on Grace and Glory :allears:

I've been playing with the peach outfit and it's maybe the most ridiculous outfit I've ever seen in a video game, ever. Doing anything except the slow strut/walk ends up looking up her skirt.

Also I just played with a dude who's gameplan for tag climax seemed to be "just shoot constantly with the bow to chain your combo while the other guy does the work" and it seemed to work out pretty well for him. We beat two lumen sage cards no problem and he ended up crushing me point-wise.

You should have let him die.

I tried a few 3 star verses before complaining and they were really short. The bosses and minibosses obviously take a while but there should have been multiple waves in the verses that can literally take less than 30 seconds

oswald ownenstein posted:

It's amazing how you get a feel for what the more chaotic bosses can do and see serious improvement attempt over attempt. My first run was on hard with basically no health upgrades and all the bosses went from feeling impossible to amazingly satisfying victories in short order.

Man I'm super nervous about jumping into Tag Climax. I only finished the game on Second Climax (I got all golds at least. I know it's not platinum but hey) but I still feel like I'd get stomped and do nothing but slow others down.

Sounds good. Tag climax is a great way to get halos, I raked in 200k+ big ones within a few games.

Please be excited.



Chapter VII was all sorts of fun. Two of the best bosses so far broken up by 3 minutes of organ wandering. <3

The way they divide the chapters is random as gently caress though (as I suppose is standard for Platinum games). Chaper VI was a 5 minute boss that could easily have been put at the end of Chapter V. Especially since it was the same setting.
