Why not sign up for a (free) account?
   
 
I play it at either the kitchen table or on my belly in bed, using the stand at all times. Keeps the discomfort to a minimum (and I'm not sure how much of that is related to the tendonitis I've been dealing with, anyway.)

@VofEscaflowne Which is why it would be so much easier to get some of those stats on the select screen! Maybe a damage per second instead of stars? Maybe a max range stat instead of nothing?

And yeah I was playing with it on my lap like that before. I have a hard time keeping the 3D sweetspot steady. I fidget. Plus I have to hang my neck down to see the screen.

@nate38

Oh those would help but it still wouldn't give away its different charged attacks. Like I said, you'll end up experimenting anyway, not just because the game doesn't give out enough info, but because there's actually several treasure hunts that will have you using different weapons you'd normally not try out. The game is designed around replaying it and if you want to focus enough time on it, you'll end up trying out different weapons regardless of them being detailed or not.

@nate38 I agree with @VofEscaflowne. You are better off experimenting with the weapons than getting any stats. But I get why you can feel it's annoying... Still the screens are pretty crammed. Having screens upon screens of weapon's stats would feel quite daunting, yes?
04/15/12, 01:33   
@Davoid I get that each weapon has charged/continuous/standing/dashing each with different stats, and that the weapon page would look like an excel spreadsheet with even some of the details, but I'd rather be given too much information to read than none at all.
04/15/12, 02:30   
You can try the weapons, but I would advise to read the weapon's idols entries. Lot's of very useful informations in there.
04/15/12, 02:32   
I checked out a few, but yeah, I have to unlock them first.

Are the enemy idols only unlockable through that Pokeball power? Or can you get them at random in the egg toss, too?
04/15/12, 02:34   
Anyone up for some online tonight?

@nate38

I know you can get idols with the egg toss, and my best guess is that you can get the same enemy idols in this mode as you would using the enemy-to-idol converter power.
04/15/12, 04:15   
I could play a bit of online, sure. Let me know when you hop on.
04/15/12, 04:46   
@VofEscaflowne

Let me finish dinner, and I'll hop on in 15-20 minutes!
04/15/12, 04:52   
Ready? Do you want free for all or team?

Edited: 04/15/12, 05:14
Whichever is fine really. If we're only us two, then we'll have to battle through a lot of CPUs if you set it to max players
04/15/12, 05:15   
I'd play but I can't shoot
04/15/12, 05:23   
Last match!

@VofEscaflowne

Good matches, your skills are exceptional. Well done! I didn't stand a chance, haha. You were right about that club, it's insane! You kept using the tornado attack, it was devastating. Were you using 'play dead' power? It seems so, you would just vanish suddenly. I think. Anyway, that was fun. Sorry to cut it short.

@Shadowlink

Awful.

@roykoopa64

The club definitely takes some getting used to, especially for online matches as quick players can just totally take over but one well placed attack can just completely destroy a group.

And yes, I was using the play dead power. It can be useful to sneak in and take out an angel when others are protecting the area!

@Shadowlink
Hey I added your 3DS code, check my profile and add mine.

@anon_mastermind

Sorry, I thought I had.

I will soon, but not at the moment. Gotta send this thing in for repairs
04/15/12, 23:50   
Damn, I just spent over 100 coins to get eggs for idols. That brings me up to a total of 297 idols Also, I finally got the treasure hunt for putting over 50 hours of playtime... though I may have to use a feather to unlock the 100 hour one

Is there any kind of disadvantage for using the feathers? I'd like to get 100% but it would look kind of cheap if I used any but I don't see myself getting the one that requires 30 StreetPasses either.

I'm still working through the single player. Checked gamefaqs just to get a sense of how many stages there are and... wow. There are a lot.
