Topic: DXChronicles question: about Maria

[darkwzrd4]

I was very angry when I found out that the Maria in the DXC version of SotN had the same abilities as when she was a kid.  I would think that she would have some more adult skills like the ones she had in NitM.  Of course, I wouldn't want her to be that powerful.  Those moves she currently has are too childish.  I mean in SotN/NitM she is suppose to be 17.  This is just my opinion.

I think Maria's just fine, (albeit rather weak) in the new SotN. I think she improved on her powers instead of gaining new ones, and trained her doves more and made her owl into a weightlifter. o_O She should have had a triple jump or something.. >.<

[erimocard]

Maybe they got inspired by the bird-type IDs from CoD. Btw, in PoR Maria was really strong imo. Spamming doves was just fine to kill any enemy/boss.

[fallenangel86]

all her animals are older and more powerful. i'd say that suits her just fine. if you think shes too weak, try item crashing the phoenix.

The only prob I have with adult Maria DXC is that her doves really do feel too weak. Course you have those cool animal subs to back her up, but still, it seems like the birdies were stronger in her youth O_o

I agree, they do feel a bit weaker. (Either that or Alucard and Ricther's primary weapons just seem that much stronger. XD )

I didn't notices the glitch(s) being mentioned either, I'll be honest. I'll have to give it another play through now.

Ithink she's too weak altogether. I can't make it three rooms away from the save point without dieing.

I thought I was the only one who experienced that. >_> Especially in the Royal Chapel and succeeding areas. [No, I haven't tried going to the Anti-Chapel, but I bet it's pretty difficult there too..] It feels like Maria is the ultra super duper Hard Mode of SotN.

I'll try playing her again someday, though.

Yay! I'm not alone! And I'm currently attempting the anti-chapel and it is a greater hell that the Tower of Science and Tower of Gears(from Chronicles) combined.

Yeah she does take the most skill to master. But once  you get her down most of the bosses are cake.

I have even beaten Galamoth with her. It all depends at skill and not power!!

Well, considering what he said, then yeah.

I wonder how long beating Galamoth took? It must have been really tedious/long. o_O show-off. >_>

About ten minutes!!

[warfreak]

Yeah, that's actually pretty long.

Oh, and I just fought Karasuman (is that its name? The winged boss that is usually VERY easy for Alucard) using Maria. She was doing 2 damage per dove hit. 2! Goodness. Even with item crashes, it took forever.

All these tedious issues with Maria make me want to get the Saturn Version... and a Sega Saturn.... and an action replay...
