JP vs USA

Hey all,

I've seen some conversation between JP vs US version. I noticed in video of JP version I watched that the fire rate looks to be faster, is that the only difference?

Thanks :)

o/ Nolinto,

There is no difference between the fire rate in both games. What you are seeing is more than likely stuttering which makes you shoot faster (tapping the d-pad while shooting). Something to keep in mind is that Rocky is faster due to his stronger bombs.

The fire rate is faster due to a trick that is used by tapping a direction on the d-pad. Both versions are capable of this.

Here are the true differences between the 2 versions:

-US version can carry an extra bomb on normal mode.

-Text is somehow faster on the US version by about 4 seconds.

-The sage manip timing is different in the US version based on my experiences with the game. I have no real timing for that version myself so you would have to play test around with that but there is a manip to it as well.

So yes theoretically, the US Version is faster but the kicker is that frame timing of sage manip is a killer on that version as opposed to the Japanese version where much of the sage manip timing is centered around sound cues with the music.

Thanks for these answer fellow Canadian runner, I will definately need to look into this D-pad thing.

So I understand that I will need to come with my own timing for sage manip for U.S version which is fine.. I just need a cue of where to manip.

Does the manipulation comes from the timing you click start on the little map (when you see where you are within the 6 stages)? Also, from your experience, are we speaking about a frame perfect thing or I should have a few frames window?

Thanks guys!

J version has significally less lag. The sage manip comes from what frame you exit the screentransition after entering a stage(the intro to the stage) i believe 4/8 will give you bomb sage 1/8 will give you bomb+dog however the 2nd stage on the US version only has a 1/8 to give you bomb(and it comes with a dog), the J version i think has 4/8 on this stage as well 4/8 meaning every other frame. 1/8 means every 8th frame.
