The Giant Neco Arc Chaos 666 Record thread

[Pikachu_Fragger]

I figured I could start a thread like this on the forums now that Version B is out, and simply because Neco Arc Chaos is made of TEH FUKIN WIN. 

In case nobody knows how to get the mode in the first place:

EDIT: It seems that you don't need to finish arcade mode with Neco Arc Chaos once to unlock the second dialog, but I'm suggesting to do it anyway just in case, and also to get the hang of him - unless you're Arileth, since he already knows how to play Nero, in which case he probably operates nearly the same way combo-wise. 
Also, Tropsy says that getting the second dialog seems to be random, so most of this is how it worked on my end. I guess to be safe, just finish Arcade Mode with Neco Arc Chaos if you happen to get it. After that, the attack mode is unlocked FOREVAR.

• Get the 1.01 patch first (thanks to Tropsy for pointing this out!)
• Finish arcade mode once to get Neco Arc Chaos. To use him in arcade mode, highlight Chaos, then press D to select him.
• Finish arcade mode with Neco Arc Chaos at least once.
• Start Arcade Mode with Neco Arc Chaos again, but this time hold D until AFTER you choose his color. To be safe, highlight another character, highlight Chaos again, THEN press and hold D until you choose NAC's color.
• When you play through it, you'll notice the opening prologue is VERY different; Kohaku now shows up in the conversation! This means that you did it correctly (Props to Mailorder for first pointing this out). Even the midboss is different!
• Play through Arcade Mode until you meet the last stage. When you do, XBOX HUEG Neco Arc Chaos 666 will be your final boss! It doesn't matter if you lose here and continue, it will still work.
• Select the newly unlocked Giant Attack 666 Mode in the main menu after finishing Arcade Mode.
• ? ? ? ? ?
• PROFIT

Anyway, post your fastest times and scores here!
To start off, here's mine:

hmm, are you sure you need to clear it once with NAC? I was able to do it on the first run-through.

Anyway. xD I don't think this was bad for an Aoko newbie.



EDIT: After many many attempts later, I finally got this. xD

[Len]

Ehe, 25 seconds.
Decent, I guess...I'm not that good XD



Edit: After a little while, I managed to improve that by a few seconds


Edit2: After a little more, I improved that, too XD
Think I'll stop here.

[Keith]

28"33 with KohaHisu. Nowhere close to escaping with a Perfect.

[scottind]

first playthru with NAC i got the kohaku dialog with armies mid-boss and G666 boss. Then i did the trick with holding down D and got the same dialog. I quit out and did the trick again, but got the standard dialog without kohaku, then proceeded to beat the game.

Still no Robot Attack mode.

[Tropsy]

You need the 1.01 patch before beating NAC's story mode, or 666 mode may not appear. Also, holding D or not doesn't make any difference -- which of the 2 storylines you get appears to be (as far as 2ch knows) completely random.

[Len]

Despite my previous statement, I still played it >_>
Oh well.


I really will stop, this time.

Really? I didn't know that. I thought the patch was a fix for something, not also adding 666 mode.
Also, I dunno about it being random, as every time I did the D trick it worked. Though, there was one thing I discovered - it only seems to work on his default color. Either that or the randomness just got the best of it. I'll need to test this through again, lol.

Len: almost 16 seconds!? Christ, that's fast!

Yea, I don't remember seeing that anywhere in the patch notes... (They wouldn't hide anything from me right???)

[Pikachu_Fragger]

After a little more practice (and a bit of frustration... I wonder if setting the difficulty to 5 might have something to do with it), I tried again and managed to pull a perfect from the bastard.

Oh. Actually, all time-trials should be set at Difficulty 5. I didn't think about that.

[Len]

Yeah, I set all my difficulties to 5 as default.
I changed it to 1 to see what it was like, and it didn't really change at all.
I'll just keep it at 5. >_>

Same here, it was just as difficult. Difficulty probably just applies to other character AI; G666 is just made of cheap and pain period.

[Arlieth Tralare]

Difficulty doesn't seem to affect survival mode either- it naturally progresses from easy to hard.

Is it bad when you do have a much better time with a joke character than with your main character?

[Pikachu_Fragger]

Lol, there's a youtube video where someone did a 23'XX with him.

Also, I figured I'd try again with KohaHisui for the lulz, and I surprised myself time-wise.

I finally broke 15 seconds, though not with Len...>_> I'm still stuck at 15.88 for her.


Also, with Arc:

[mrthefter]

How do you guys do it?
His super armor pisses me off to no end.

[liger]

Blaaaaaarg.

I've been at it for the past hour. @_@

Here are the fruits of my labors:

[Len]

Yay, wiiin~ d>_<b


That's my all-time record

Spamming A won't get you anywhere. What I usually do is spam Jump BC and hope he doesn't block and starts flinching when I land. I dunno, it's easy with Kohaku's broom for me.
