Awakened Hearts (Tales of Hearts DS combo video)
36A labor of love several months in the making. I absolutely adore this game and its many intricacies and I hope you'll enjoy what I've put together.
I've utilized many different techs, some of which I even developed myself, in conjunction with the extremely free-form combo system to produce something I can unabashedly say I'm really fucking proud of.
I hope this video inspires people to play this game, as it's very much overlooked by the community and deserves more recognition.
The rest of this description is dedicated to the various pieces of tech I used in this video so if you're not interested in that you can stop reading now.
Thanks for watching, hope you liked the video!
A list of the techs, then. Names aren't official or anything so don't think too hard about it lol
- Landing cancel -
Using an aerial arte with a certain property (the theory at the time of writing is artes that are classified as jumps) just as you're about to land will cancel the animation of the arte but you'll maintain the momentum of the jump and gain height. Interestingly however, in this state the game considers you as being on the ground, which means you can use artes in the air that normally aren't aerial enabled. After performing an arte or doing any other action your status will be updated to airborne until you land again. Aerial enabled artes used with this glitch will default to their aerial versions, however, so you can't use grounded Shoukoujin in the air, for example.
- Homing step exploit -
Grounded homing steps towards airborne enemies in Hearts DS send you flying in an arc which can make it difficult to chain certain artes together without good timing.
If you jump right before performing an aiming step, however, you'll be sent speeding towards the enemy without an arc, making follow-ups easier.
It's essentially an aerial homing step really close to the ground.
- Homing step side-swap -
In the right conditions you can pass diagonally over an enemy in the air while using a normal attack following a homing step.
