got me a date with botticelli's niece
that took me a long time too. what made the difference for me was getting better at setting up elementals. at first i was just going for full combo and hoping for an accidental elemental. but it was easier to set up the elemental, then get the full combo linked up to it.paxl13 said:I just got the Elemental + full combo in 30 sec... I would'nt have touhg this was possible.. the next one is insane touhgTime combo x5 + wind and water clear :S
I'll get it
it was probably still easier than the final aiba stage

?Hmm... I think it's true, it's easier to make up the Elemental and then aim for the smallest full combo available. BTW when I was in Japan I broke my Time Chain record (on the GP2X), I think it was 50 or something...

I manage to complete what I think its the whole stages (no chesse here) but my storymode percentage it's not full, do I have to get the last medal for that?, or it's another bug and one stage again didn't open? my percentage for story mode is 192 and already unlocked all slides, extras and museum arts .

YAY I just got my sprite and I love it! I also love the game, despite really sucking at it and never getting ranks better than C :unsure: Anyway, just wanted to share my happiness lol

Shinra:
Are you positive that you got all the exits possible in the Story Mode? They count as a percentage. Some Stages have two exits, and others which seem NOT to have an exit actually have a hidden one. Hope this helps
By the way, I beat your Time Chain by one
Lucky me~!!!

I'm wondering. E02 - or whichever stage that has the mission "2000 points + 15 time chains". Has anyone managed to get above a C on it?
If so, what are the conditions, do you know? My second time through I'm trying for minimum Bs and preferably As across the board, and this mission is proving very tough to crack. Mostly because it doesn't seem to accept chains as counting until your score exceeds 2000.
My current strategy is to spend the first 1:30 building a "tower of score" - essentially, you set it up so that one rotation sets off an elementalx10 or so, giving an instant ~20000 points, followed by as many chains as I can squeeze in, but the fastest I've been able to manage is 3:23, which is a C.
Clearly, if my score is as high as it is, that's not the route to beasting the level. And I'm fairly sure I've tried aiming at more chains (probably around 18, because I set them up in blocks of ~9). Is the solution really to satisfy it faster, and if so, how much, because at the moment I'm moving as fast as I can, and I'm still only passing. Grr!

I took a look through GamesTM this morning and Wind and Water was in the listings for upcoming games. The part that surpirsed was that this was also coming out for the Dreamcast. If this is true does anyone know when the release date is?

argor: Thanks for answering
Tobriand: Hi, I was just checking the mission. For an upper rank, you need to do it in less than 30 seconds. For an A rank, you need to do it in less than 60 seconds. For a B rank, less than 100 seconds. So I guess the best idea is to try doing time chains fast. If you manage to get an 7+ time chain, you'll already have near 2000 points, so I guess that's the best way to get a better rank
I, too, hope that with the F200 stick, this game can be played as it is meant to be played. Really looking forward to see what they have done.

Wow, that's quick... so basically, it needs to be a 21-22 time chain as fast as possible. Probably beyond me, tbh. Unless I'm setting them up, mine tend to die around 5, mostly because they stop being time chains and become simply chains if the R-trigger isn't pressed, and I usually press it a fraction of a second too late lol.
Thanks for the rank conditions, though
