Feb. 6th, 2012 05:04 pmSo I've been fully expecting to be disappointed with tonight's episode of Gossip Girl, Dair-wise. Like its gonna be just more teasing that will never amount to anything. Then I saw this this ONTD post, and it makes me think, maybe, just maybe the writers will hook up Dan and Blair. I mean, the pictures are pretty compelling evidence, but I'll believe it when I see it on the show. It could be another dream sequence, who knows!
Anyways, I'm currently at level 30 in SC5. Just 22 levels to go before I unlock every piece of equipment. I think I mentioned it before, but the sucky thing is that a couple of key pieces I need for my created characters are in the batch unlocked at 52.
But yeah, I've been gaining levels by playing through each character in the standard, European and Asian tracks. Just one track is too short to really get a feel for a characters. I've actually only played Mitsurugi, Raphael, Cervantes, Ezio, Lexia, Patroklos, Alpha Patroklos, and Siegfried. I've played a little of Pyrrha, Omega Pyrrha, and Zwei in story mode, but not nearly enough as I have the other characters.
I was thinking I'd prefer Pyrrha since she's closer to original flavor Sophitia, but Patroklos has some pretty neat moves. And unlike his mother, his A+B guard impact, you don't have to get attacked to use it. The critical edge is an interesting addition to the game, unlike the previous game where it was an insta-win, its closer to a super combo from SF. I think they are a little too easy to perform, as its the same input for every character. So basically, by the time you've won 2 rounds and you haven't used too many brave edges, you should have enough meter to perform at least one critical edge. Then that last round, you only have to worry about getting the opponent down to about a 1/4 to an 1/8 health and your win is practically guaranteed.
