Bayonetta

[A Robot Bit Me]

What are the rules for Witch Time, exactly? Is it just perfectly dodging a major attack? Because I dodge the shit out of everything those pairs of dogs throw at me but can never, ever get WT against them. I even get the bat dodge sometimes. Nuthin'.

with the small guys, everything they do initiates witch time if done properly. With guys higher up on the scale, you just end up dodging them. For example, the egyptian looking dogs, if you dodge their straight lunge attack, you dont go into WT. If you dodge a teleport attack or a fireball or a tail spike, you go into witch time.

-and no, you'd need to make her head smaller, her neck longer, arms longer, hips wider, butt bigger...Bayonetta has the proportions of fashion designer concept illustrations. I'd say she still looks pretty odd in cinemas and close-ups, but her body fits the animations really well. It's clear she's a product of deliberate design and not some anatomical ignorance.

Honestly I agree. I feel like Bayonetta and Jeanne are designed for style, not just cause they wanted to draw something to fap to. And yeah they are animated fairly well so it seems like they didnt just do it half assed.

Just got the 360 version and holy snipes is there a big difference in the visuals. 360 via HD VGA vs ps3 via HDMI is night and day. Too bad I put so much time into the ps3 version already... Definitely recommend if you can, to play the 360 version. I wasn't a believer until I actually experienced it hands on.

Lt. Col. Kilgore kills things so fucking fast its stupid. Grace and Glory die so quickly to it.

I beat the game and I thought the last boss was cake. I got her pattern down super quick. loved the pole dancing routine to that awesome Fly Me To The Moon rendition. started hard and fought grace glory and fearless in the prologue level. right now hard is just them moving faster and hitting harder.
I like it much more than dmc 4. best thing...no boss gauntlet!

The bat isn't a dodge. It's a damage mitigation after you get hit, which says that you are probably slow on your dodges.

Yeah, I know it's basically an input window extension. I only mention it to emphasize that my dodge timing isn't too early to get WT. If an enemy attack can potentially grant WT upon being dodged, the bat dodge will do the trick.

I don't seem to be Torturing as much as perhaps I should. I started over on Hard and continued like 5 times in the Prologue verse where you have to do 3 Tortures in 5 minutes. I just couldn't build and maintain my Magic against those goddamn armored dogs. I think I need to either launch more, shoot more by holding P or K after a move, or both.

I typically get gold or platinum in Time and Combo, then a turd for Damage. Maybe I'm attacking too recklessly?

...Or maybe I am just old and out of touch .

I have finally started to play this. Why are some verses skipped? I don't get medals for them. Do you have to get a great score on the one before it or find something secret?

[bbobb]

They're hidden.

[Joust Williams]

Hidden in the environment? Or do you have do something really weird somewhere
