rending saber
Finally, to settle it once and for all:
From the Asch guide
* Asch's basic attacks are slower than Luke's (mostly irrelevant in comboing)
though it says nothing about stun(ning out of combos). I'm astonished, because I'm not the only one who faced problems using Luke after Asch! *looks meaningfully at elvaron*
(explanation: For some reason, Luke seems to be very easy to stun out of a normal combo, much more so than Guy - probably down to the extra speed of Guy - but also more so than Asch. After Ortion Cavern I practically never used Luke, not even in Aramis Springs - I stooped to using Tear. XD;; I just couldn't stand how often Luke would get hit out of a combo, and I put this down to how much slower he was than Guy. Have to try this out with other characters like Jade.)
I find it at least mildly ironic that Asch can spell cancel well, according to the author, given that his F.Atk stat sucks. I still do not know how to spell cancel, but I'm a Guy player XD;;
Also, I never knew that Asch could join the party and keep Mieu. D: This raises the viability of trying it out in my second playthrough!
edit: also, while we're on the subject of Asch. He's the only playable character that doesn't fall over flat while K.O'ed, instead, he dies LIKE A MAN and kneels, supported by his sword. Er.
For those of you who have read and remember Romeo and Juliet (what were those Nurse jokes again...?), you would probably find it... interesting... that Guy falls on his back, while Jade sort of folds over elegantly and falls on his face.
YES ANYWAY I totally did not allow characters to die one by one just to figure this out. It's just that Asch kept dying at Mushroom Road (SUCKY EQUIPMENT) and I noticed after a while...!
