well isn't that aggressive. don't be rude to the newbies, you scare them off and scar them for life.
good OP sir, you will find loads of war in the forums these days. please don't join the fight.

I got into the game around summer 2012. discovered o kong since it was a rising game, it was published by sega so I tried it out. and now I'm here.
it might be my general apathy for the game right now, but I don't have any great memories of the game. loads of fun and all, but it's spread out and doesn't really peak. I encountered great personalities, although I never really spoken to the most important person I've ever met (all hail the box with eyebrows). maybe the first times I've beaten the bosses solo.

I am not even sure if you are trolling or not, but here is the thing, YOU shouldn't even consider going into FSC without 5* gears, not only you pissed off your teammates (I wondered why they didn't kick you), your level of ignorance is astounding. How could you have made it so far with 3* gears? That is a question for another day, but for now, I hope you could reflect on your poor choice of gears. That is all, peace.

...Seriously, those outburst were just plain creepy. People like you deserve nothing but every fabric of my hatred. Hitler-syndrome,much? It was PRETTY obvious that OP was implying it wasn't the present, and the ways you two worded it was unjust and undignified. Seriously, an apology is to be had here. Not only that, but you guessed right off the bat that he was trolling you, even though that sounded seriously sincere.

...On another note, I too discovered it through Kongregate as well, even by same reason of SEGA. Not only that, but just the screenshots alone had me hooked. Zelda-like? Yes. Same time co-operation? Yes. Toonlicious graphics? Yes. This game had a lot of features that is unique, not to mention it wasn't one of those "click-attack, press 1-9 for skill, watch" games. My favorite momentS, really, are times I just chat on /G. Since the game is really co-operative, it's much easier to get cool friends thanks to the join-in option in Arcade. Yum.

I found this game on the top of Kong's list. I was hooked right from the character creation page.

Finest moment in SK huh... then, it would be my third Vana run. My first run had been with a bunch of Vanguards that practically carried me through the fight. My second one was with a random party of 4* guys that ended in a crushing defeat somewhere during Vana's mask phase.

My third victory was a revenge match with the exact same people that I fought with the second time. But this time, we won. We all were down to our final spark, and not a single one of us had more than 10% if our health XD.

Vana is, for a player who's relatively new, a pretty epic boss.
