Red Shadow Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Ug. I enjoy the combo system but it's hard to learn at first. thats mostly the fault of the emulator, not the game real hardware would play the game better and make it a little less difficult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarvi Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 thats mostly the fault of the emulator, not the gamereal hardware would play the game better and make it a little less difficult Yea. Part of the hard part is that I'm just not sure exactly how it works. I haven't found, like, one of the sparrows or something that explains it. Idk if it's like, the tempo of the song, or the rhythm, or what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Shadow Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 youll get to a certain part of the game and it will tell you point blank about it the method it does this by i actually found to be pretty funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintermute Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I find it immensely tricky to start. After I get two or three I can usually rack up at least 7 before missing a beat, but for some reason that second one is almost impossible for me to hit. Had to edit this to add an awesome quote: "Policeman: Please don't stare directly at me. It might make me want to arrest you." .... and was I just raped by a magypsy? ...............

Red Shadow Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I have a feeling that, in the event that nintendo had any serious reason to want to avoid bringing this game to the states, it would have to be the magypsies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halc Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I've played a decent amount of Earthbound, but I have not beaten the game nor has the ending been spoiled for me yet. I have patched Mother 3 and I am ready to play it. Should I beat Earthbound or at least familiarize myself with the ending before I play M3, or is it okay to play standalone?

Should I beat Earthbound or at least familiarize myself with the ending before I play M3, or is it okay to play standalone? Its not a direct sequel, these are totally different stories. Play them both, theyre about just as good. and combo spoiler below, if you need help. Putting enemies to sleep allows you to feel their heartbeat. this is the rhythm at which you want to press th button once the combo gets started. when to first press the button to get over 2 hits is still a mystery to me. And yes, each rythm is dependent on background music. one good way to practice on emulator is to save state when the window "Flint attacks." comes up, try to get a combo, and then load state every time you screw up. you can do that for every attack, but in the end its a waste of time and takes away from the value of the game. my highest combo is 13, pretty sweet. The fluctuating speed of emulators really throws it off though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maniacodepressif Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 thats mostly the fault of the emulator, not the gamereal hardware would play the game better and make it a little less difficult Actually, places I did GBA game testing, we used the visual boy emulator. You should also know, that emulator came out, before the gba came out in Japan...sure it's updated, but I think nintendo is indirectly responsible for creating this emulator at first. So, being harder because of an emu is a possibility but it might be more because of a emu plugin or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, being harder because of an emu is a possibility but it might be more because of a emu plugin or something. I think what he meant is that there's a slight delay on the emulator between the game and the actual sound. The sound comes a bit liate iirc so it throws the rythm off.

metaknight Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Its been a long road but finally one of my favorite series has been translated. I played it when it was all Japanese and had to read a fan translation but it was a migraine jumping back and forth between the translation and the game. The story, music, hell everything in this game is gold. The second I heard the first battle tune I said "This is gonna be awesome." Mother vets will definitely have lots of nostalgia tugging at there hearts with a lot of scenes in this sequel. (Final tune is beautiful). Definitely going to replay the game all over again. People who haven't played it or just starting, your gonna have tons of fun with this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halc Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 The Mother 3 save feature is not working for me. I'm running it in VBA on a Mac. Has anyone else had this problem or do you guys just use save states? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else had this problem or do you guys just use save states? yeah mato already addressed that - its a mac thing i have been using save states - ...defrosting states has occasionally frozen my mac - nothing freezes mac - i can usually force quit anything - not sure if it related to full screen or running higher quality - but it sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
