Title: Harmony of Despair -Who is your main character?
Post by: cecil-kain on October 14, 2011, 12:23:42 PM
I chose to go with Richter because I've always loved his god-like moveset.  But now I regret the decision because it's taking forever to power up his subweapons, and I'm a little annoyed that the play control is based off of his PoR appearance instead of SotN's.  If I could do it over, I'd take Shanoa --her magnes ability gives her some treasure hunting prowess on most of these maps.

Julius all the way. OMNIA VANITAS

He has the longest whip it seems and he's just a bad ass in general. Oh, and he can whip and all directions too like CVIV Simon.

I've only played as Soma and Alucard.  I seem to have hit a brick wall in getting more powerful because no matter how hard I try I can't get a good sword.   I wish I could just find a good farming team and stick with them for a few hours and get some real goodies, but it has eluded me so far.

I usually main 8-Bit Simon, although I do usually mix it up with other characters from time to time.

I started with Soma to get a good assortment of gear, and now I'm working on Simon.  I'll probably do Julius or Jonathan next.

I main Julius because of his pure manliness.  Having an 8-whip certainly is nice as well :P.

More like OMNIA VANITAS OMNIA VANITAS OMNIA VANITAS OMNIA VANITAS OMNIA VANITAS OMNIA VANITAS OMNIA VANITAS OMNIA VANITAS.

I enjoy his whipping style, but it would have been very handy to just allow his normal attack button also attach to the magnet thingies, though that ability in itself seems pretty useless outside of novelty.

It will never go away it will be like a bad dream haunting you for the rest of your days...

Meanwhile back here at camp it's all about Simon for me as much as I like Richter,Yoko, and Shanoa I just get to the point with Simon no fancy action here no blackflips, no akuma like moves(even though Simon has a hadouken :) ) , no skull hopping, ect. it's just time to whip undead butt.

Definitely and always Alucard.

I hate that Soma and Shanoa got to keep alot of their cool ingame abilities while Alucard can't even get any familiars or even turn into a bat now.

Seems IGA showed alot of favoritism towards those 2 hence the reason why they are 2 of the most overpowered characters in this game.

On a side note, Does anyone else think it was a retarded move not to include Trevor Belmont?

After all he does have a up to date sprite sheet from SOTN and POR which means it would not have been to much of a hassle to add him.

Not only him but Eric, Grant, 16- bit simon, and Hammer from what I hear did they not have a voice sample from soma saying his name?

I change it up constantly.  After every time I play on XBox, I play the "next" character down the list.  And I don't advance to the next level until I've beaten a level with "all" the characters. 

Now, I might decide to go get a "main" character once I decide to start playing online on the PSN.  Haven't really decided which one I'll go with yet.  Thinking about maybe Soma since he's got the most flexibility.

Julius
1. I like Belmonts.
2. He's the only Belmont I can use due to not have the DLC.
3. OMNIA VANITAS!!! I think it's cool and like hearing it said. :D

I try switching it up often. I started out using Julius and Alucard often but now I use Shanoa almost all the time. I like her variety of magic, plus the Magnus is awesome

hmm, can't tell if Crisis is trolling or not... ah well, the game is either a lot of fun or a lot of frustration with its design.

Anyways, my main is Richter because of all of his moves that I can use to help the team run faster (like the tackle to dash past armors to reach a switch, or reaching past a long hallway to a chest/switch that characters without Shanoa/Julius can't reach). Also, his dive kick works a little better from what I've seen; seeing Alucard's dive kick for example he kicks down but its not straight down which can end with being hit, but thats just a nit pick. Lastly its satisfying chaining the spin kick with the whip, or even whip + spin kick + tackle.

His speed (via slide jump), ability to combo, invincibility frames, and (most importantly) because I started from Rondo of Blood as a castlevania fan; all that sums up why I use Richter all the time.

Well, here in Europe, they are not all the characters available,  so i'm playing with Alucard!!!

I change characters depending if don't have their rare drops and if said drop is on that chapter, like using Alucard on ch4 hard to get his alucard sword for example. If not, then i'm Richter most of the time.

Simon right now, I have the most kills with him by far and I'm trying to get his cross to level 9...almost there. I also use Yoko, Shanoa, Richter, and have started building Alucard, Soma, and Julius.  I plan to use everyone.
