The MERCENARIES Thread

[padamibr]

I just made 344.000 at PA with Battlesuit Jill... however I made only a 110 combo... my goal is to reach the 450k~500k with her...

[padamibr]

Damn, I'm almost there, I made 427k... I saw a Tribal Sheva with 500k, my bet is that I can reach that score... but it's getting annoying.

[padamibr]

Damn, 470k... I'm the best Battlesuit Jill in the rankings and the second best without being Wesker. I'm done.

Bump of EPIC proportions. This thread can be used to discuss Mercs Reunion as well!

Just played a few rounds with Rosetta Mist. Barry is a fuckin' riot. We were in the Mines and I was laying down...mines...and with each one, he said "I have THIS!" or "What IS this?", and I was cracking up the whole time. Excella is completely ridiculous but still fun to play with. Her downside, though, is how slow her melee attacks are.

All in all though, it's Mercenaries and it's still very fun, as always. Warrior Chris looks ridiculous, Fairy Tale Sheva is awesome and REALLY powerful. Her 556 is unreal...4-5 shots to take down a common Majini. All four new characters so far are VERY powerful. Much fun to be had.

[Canas Renvall]

^ To be honest, actually, I think Warrior Chris is kinda badass in motion now. Although he looks like he's an out-of-place character in a JRPG after that Rising Upper.

As for Fairy Tale Sheva... Empty her clip, and try reloading it. Pretty sure someone at Capcom took the max reload speed of that 556 and just jacked it up. It's almost faster than menu-reloading. Also, that Double Fang... Ooh is nice.

And I agree, everyone's much more powerful now. That could be to compensate for how much more aggressive the enemies are though... and believe me, they are a lot more aggressive. I love it.

The funniest thing I came across was when playing the Experiment Facility with Excella, and a Licker was about to jump me from behind, so I did the button prompts and Excella just simply turned around and bitch slapped it like nothing. I couldn't stop laughing.

Excella is a big surprise for me, she's incredibly fun to play as. If she was anywhere near this level of badassery in-game I'd probably like her a bit more.

Barry seems to be the new "Wesker", so to speak, since he's dominating the leader boards. I'm incredibly surprised how powerful these characters are, I've gotten S ranks with every single one of them!

Can anybody give me some pointers on getting an SS rank? With anybody is cool, I'm trying to be well-rounded. Getting all the time bonuses before engaging an enemy works for the MOST part, but on levels like Ship Deck (my favorite, by the way), it seems to really decrease my score

Shouldn't be too hard for SS ranks, just memorize the new time locations, make yourself a path that hits all of them. Just run past everyone until you've got all the time extensions. If you want, stop at all the bonus times clocks and kill just during the bonus time, after that let your combo die. (I find people waste a lot of time trying to keep their combo up and in the long run gets you less points. I average 100,000 with only 25+ combos)

After you have all the time extensions, pick an open area, or one good funnel and go to town, focusing on melee attacks. The name of the game in mercs is time. Also drop weak weapons or shotguns. Shotguns fail for setting up melee attacks reliably.

But the best advice is run the exact same path every time. Once you've got a good rhythm, you'll get your SS ranks.
