/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Why is /jp/ so good at games?

You're terrible at escort, anon.

The only hard parts are when you dont have sufficient DPS because angels at -2 will power/+0 to all stats do nearly NO damage whatsoever.

And i cant figure out what controls their stats...i know the girl you choose gets max stats, but the rest seems to be a mixture of randomness...

For example if in chapter 7 i do not choose milfie, her stats are ALWAYS -2 willpower/+0 to everything.

I never had problems with it so far (about to start the final battle). Then again, I don't even think of following the suicide battle plans the game suggests.

>>3977911
>>3977923
I'm on the mission in Chapter 9 where I'm trapped in a pincer formation with those five fighters plus escort at the bottom and some frigates at the top. Killing most of them is fine, and moving the Elsior to the top-left keeps it away from the fighting for most of the battle, but eventually they catch up and then in about two seconds the ship goes from 100% health to zero. Trying to draw the enemy off doesn't achieve anything.

>>3977923

I suggest that you do.

>>3977946
Only happens in forte's route right?

Well forte solos the top easily, and its basically focus firing the fastest targets first and spamming specials...the angels do the most damage.

>>3977946
One word: You suck.

>>3977954
>spamming specials

How exactly does one spam specials anyway? They seem to fill up at completely random times. Sometimes Vanilla will get five specials in a battle, whilst everyone else gets zero, but other times everyone gets about three except Milfie, or any other bizarre combination.

>>3977943
I haven't even paid attention to those briefings ever since the "move to the top-right corner to escape" mission. I tried it the way it's suggested and Elsior died like twice, when I decided that it's actually easier to turn around, quickly and systematically kill the guys chasing from the south and move towards the bottom right corner. The strike force from the north is varied in speed so by the time the south is fully cleared, they are standing nicely in a line one by one, just waiting to be killed by the angel wing. It was hell of a lot easier to kill everyone, than escaping. Elsior was not even half damaged and I got like 5 minutes left.

>>3977998
Hahaha yeah that was the way I approached it as well. The Elsior is too damn weak and slow for any kind of escort mission to succeed. You just have to kill everything in that kind of mission.

>>3977958
>One Word
>You
>Suck
Well...

>>3977923
The final mission is piss easy.
You can complete it using only your route's girl, Even if it's Vanilla
The music is awesome, though.

>>3977974
Its related to the angel stats, apparently related to their mood. But i cant find any pattern, except that the angel with the most positive choices made SEEMS to get faster specials and better stats.

>>3978045
And what do the wings have to do with everything?

How can you NOT utterly dominate this game? Jesus.

Here is what you do:
1. Pick two girls. One that you are going for and another one that you enjoy being buff. Milfie and Ranpha are both good for the secondary girl.
2. Talk to your chosen girl and the secondary girl only. You should use either 4 or 5 actions out of every 6 action interlude you get on them. You can use the remaning action or two completing the Shiva stuff or checking with the whale.
3. Use all the other Angels to help delay stuff incoming on the Elsior. Prioritize delaying the Dark Angels since they are pretty tough but do little damage. Have an Angel target and attack it so that it does damage, then manually switch target to another Dark Angel. You can tie up 2 DAs per Angel this way. Use your 3 misc Angels only for distraction. They probably won't even charge a special during most fights. Don't worry about it.
4. Use your chosen girl and your secondary girl to target the ships closest to the Elsior in this order: High-Speed Frigates, High Speed Battlecruiser, Gezel Missile Frigates, Destroyers. Battleships, Carriers, and Cruisers can't catch you so save them for last. Primary and secondary should have different targets.
5. Sit back and watch as your two girls both slaughter dozens of eneimes. They will strafe a ship either to death or down to half on a normal run, and every run they make they will fill their special attack bar. After every run target the special attack on another high-speed full health ship, then when it is dead switch back to the half dead original ship.
7. Never worry about losing a fight in that game again.

The best fighter is Mint, faggot.

Sorry to bother you fellows with that request, but does someone have a 100% save please? I'm lazy to finish the remaining endings, but I'd like to see the cgs I missed. (Google didn't turn me up much.)

>>3978335
Not fast enough for powergaman.

Forte and Ranpha are looking surprisingly modest in OP's picture, I must say.

>>3978401
Her special is akin to an AoE attack.
And that range.

If you think this is hard, wait till you get to the 3rd game. Theres a mission where have you have to escort a 75& health Elsior past a blockade of enemies and the girl who's route you're on is unable to participate in that fight

>>3978426

Or 50%, i dont remember exactly

fuck op's game. this is the only ga software that matters:

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/203189

>>3978432

No

>>3978426
Sounds like fun.
Too bad it will never be translated

>>3978446
Sure it will. Just you wait.

Follow the angel who loves you most, spam specials. Seriously even Vanilla kicks ass when she loves you and you follow her.

>>3978449
I'll be bones by then.
>>3978499
I always though than Vanilla had the most potential.
Her attacks or of decent range, damage, and, unlike most, she can attack from any direction.
I remember that mission where you fought against the 5 upgraded dark angels.
I ran Vanilla in, started moving back, and did backwards shots at the dark angels. Kinda like mutalisk micro if you play starcraft.
The end result was all 5 dark angels attacking her and her never dying because her special makes her near invincible.

OP is a faggot.
The only hard mission is on the 3rd game, when the enemy controls your lover frame, and you have to destroy fucking everything FAST.
I fucking hate that mission.

How can anyone have problems with the game? There were no missions that posed even slight difficulty. It was easy enough that I don't feel like playing it again for other routes.

Question: Did anyone else ever have Vanilla's Harvester top kill counts by a large margin? The first time I used her, she got 6 kills, and I thought it was a fluke but she got 5 or 6 kills in almost every mission until the last three or four (where all the angels got to use their specials a lot and often got kills from it). Kind of odd when at the beginning you're told her unit is the weakest.

I started off trying for Ranpha's route but Vanilla is just superior to the others in every way.

http://4gk.com/3213

>>3978552
I could get nary a kill with her until her route began.
And even then, I gave special care to give her the kill.
Though her special is the best, as long as the enemmy doesn't rush Elsior

>>3978552
I'm at chapter 5 on my first playthrough and Vanilla barely managed to get 2 kills, which were from a mission in chapter 2 where I sent her off solo. Ranpha, which I didn't even bother getting affection with much, has twice as many kills as all my other frames put together.

I haven't seen any kind of xp/level indicator but maybe getting kills somehow improves their combat performance, the first frame to get substantially more than the others snowballing into some kind of loli battle machine.

The final hell hound battle is pretty hard as they have 40k hp.

I tried letting the angels engage them solo to keep them away from the elsior, but only the top 2 girls could handle it, the rest got owned incredibly badly...

So i had to focus fire, and then take the rest down quickly with specials before they raped the Elsior.

>>3978608

When I get internets on that computer, I'll post my stats from the last battle. Vanilla ends up with 48 kills, and Ranpha next highest with 28 kills, and this is with Vanilla getting only 2 or 3 kills per mission on the last few missions where there were nothing but satellites that I mostly killed off with specials. And Forte was terribly useless with the other four units killing most things early on before Happy Trigger even came into range.

Milfie has best special in game. Her lazer can go pew pew pew and take out multiple enemies sometimes. In the last battle against satellites she probably used her special 12 times. Such an easy game I don't know why you guys are complaining.

1 quick question, were the cut scenes subbed?

>>3978639
While Milfeulle's master spark can kill multiples, Mint's WILL kill multiples gathered together.
And Mint's is cooler, too.

>>3978640
No.

Does this game have the eros?

>>3978640
Yes there's a movie pack on the project page.

>>3978653
You are incorrect.

Thanks

>>3978650
Dude, hyper cannons are a man's dream. Carriers from starcraft are not a man's dream.
Milfie > Mint

>>3978679
Psh, whatever, I've killed 7 ships with Mint before and maxed out at 3 for Milfie. It's nearly impossible to line em up but easy as hell to group em together.

>>3978552
I've had harvester kill count in the 50s and the next highest in the 20s so yeah. I'll go back through and screenshot it for you.

>>3978664
Ah, it just wasn't included in the patch I used. It's not like it was hard to figure out what they were saying, anyway.

>>3978679
What are you talking about?
Have you haven't see Mint's last cutscene?
Milfeulle's last cutscene is shit in comparison.
And Carriers are awesome.
Pic related, it's a Carrier.

Mint > Milfeulle

>>3978705
Vanilla >> Ranpha > Mint > Milfie >> Forte

>>3978705
Fuck carriers, Hyper cannons. Pic related, it's my hyper cannon being hyper.

>>3978426
>the girl who's route you're on is unable to participate in that fight
Fuck, I remember.

>>3978720
why the Forte hate?

>>3978720
Stop being a faggot.
Ranpha is a bad tsundere and you should feel bad for placing her above a proper lady.
>>3978737
I still don't see how a pink laser is better than a bunch of spaztastic little pods of death shooting shit down.
Mint uses her goddamn TELEKINESIS to manipulate several small machines at the same time, all the while piloting her own trick master.
What does Milfeulle do? Shoot one pathetic beam?
Yea, I'll stick to my Stardust Reverie. Master Spark is a disgrace to danmaku.

>>3978743
weakest fighter, most inconsistent character. At least in my opinion. Your mileage may vary.

Mint > Pink Ranger

>>3978771
I don't care about tsundere. Ranpha is more useful in combat, and I feel her personality fits the protagonist best. She's only slightly better than Mint after that, but she's still better than Mint in terms of the game.

You can increase Forte's damage output to nearly double via micromanagement. But yeah, she got a lot better in the sequels. Specifically her special--in the second and third games, if she kills an enemy ship with her special, the ship's explosion does Mint-special-like damage to all nearby enemies. I killed 8 ships with one Strike Burst once in ML.

>>3978785
She's annoying though, since you constantly have to heal her.

>>3978785
It won't give you much credibility if you place Vanilla so much above everyone else.
It was simply luck she killed so many in your play-through.

>>3978787
You can increase anyone's damage via micromanagement. I reserve judgment for games other than game 1. My opinion is my own opinion and I respect everyone else's opinion, because after all I'm an American.

Disclaimers aside, I stand by my evaluation of the heroines.

>>3978795
Nah, it's probably his conversation choices. Presumably to make up for Vanilla not having an offensive special, the effect of Vanilla's mood level on her regular damage is INSANE. In her route in ML, in the battle right after she and Tact confess their love to each other she's taking out Zarremund satellites in one pass each.

>>3978797

>You can increase anyone's damage via micromanagement

Yeah, but the effect on Forte is the most dramatic because all her weapons have different, mostly non-overlapping ranges from each other.

>>3978795
There was that, but she also has the only utility of the angels, the repairing, and the ability to attack in all directions. On her route, it basically means that the angels are invincible since she can spam her special constantly.

I also liked her smile, and I liked making her smile on her route. Feels good, man. Compared to her, Mint's just a spoiled brat, Ranpha's a shallow gold-digger, Milfie's a moeblob, and Forte's just a gun-nut.

In comparison; I didn't dislike any of them at all.

>>3978834

>Mint's just a spoiled brat
>Forte's just a gun-nut

Wait, are we talking about the game or the anime?

>>3978834
While I do believe her ability on her route makes all the angels invincible, that's only the Angels.
Elsior will still get fucked up pretty easily.
Mint will kill everyone before they have a chance to attack.

>>3978771
It's a fucking giant pink laser. A laser man. When you were a little kid did you dream of shooting a giant pink laser, or controlling little pussy fliers with your mind powers. I think I know which one I dreamed of. Also pink ranger was a badass, don't make fun of the pink ranger.

THIS IS NOW A MOE MOE THREAD

>>3978847
The angels did that anyway, at least when I played through. Ranpha especially tore things up since the healing special has unlimited range so I didn't need to reign her in. I also had no trouble against most enemies vs Elsior. The fights where there actually was difficulty was solved by killing the missile boats and then kekeke special attack rush against the mission objective.

>>3978849
Mind control powers, obviously. What child would want to fire a stupid laser?

>>3978863
Not my child.
Ranger blaster!

>>3978849
>When you were a little kid did you dream of shooting a giant pink laser, or controlling little pussy fliers with your mind powers.
I was always the Blue Ranger, Red Ranger is for attention whoring faggots.

>>3978849
Dude, are you really comparing the potential of Awesome between Mind Powers and a laser beam?
Have you seriously never though of controling things with your mind?
That must have been one of my most prevalent fantasies ever.
Have you never though of reading other people's minds?
Seriously, a laser beam can't compare.

>>3978881
Let's put it this way:

Who was idolized by more kids, Cyclops or Xavier?

>>3978887
I never was into super hero comics.

>>3978887
Who the fuck is Xavier?
Anyways, I always went for the underdog with the most unique power. (i.e. The Power of Heart.)
Mint is so awesome, I bet she can repulse enemy rockets with her powers.

>>3978903
You don't know Charles Xavier? Professor X?

Have you been living under a rock or what?

>>3978887
Phoenix

>>3978887
I idolized Deadpool

>>3978910
I wasted my youth playing card games and DnD. While the comics section were just a few steps away, I never ever went there.
Rather, I made my own heros and villains.

>>3978852
