Luminaire or God Hand?

It's probably still God Hand for me but ULTIMATE DAMAGE is pretty cool too

...What?

I think...I THINK he may be comparing Luminaire from Chrono Trigger to God Hand from Persona 4.

#4 Posted by Video_Game_King (29308 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

@Cloudenvy:

I thought he was referencing the game God Hand. Was the Persona 4 God Hand a Luminaire-esque "kill everything on screen" thing that Jeff & Vinny spammed like crazy?

#5 Posted by Cloudenvy (5729 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

@Video_Game_King: Not really, No.

God Hand is a spell that does a lot of damage to a single target, especially if you power up the caster's attack power.

#6 Posted by Bocam (3137 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

God Hand was done by Chie. So God Hand is better then any attack.

#7 Posted by Rehtayne (110 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

Megidolaon or Agneyastra would probably make for a better comparison.

#8 Posted by fusrodah (94 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

@Video_Game_King: Which final attack in an Endurance Run is better? Was that unclear?

#9 Posted by fusrodah (94 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

@Rehtayne:They might be more comparable in function, but neither of them are a match in badassery.

luminaire or infinite machine gun or kicking a tank?

#11 Posted by chilibean_3 (1287 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

My arm my arm my arm My arm my arm my arm

I summon up the power of GOD HAND

Also, God Hand and it's not even close.

Luminaire isnt even ultimate damage. Its just lightning 3

Magnus on the other hand has way better ultimate dark spells, give him the gold or silver stud and nothing much can take more than a round

I just say, let Crono and Chie share a Dual Tech that requires both Luminaire and God Hand.

Someone needs to figure out what this would even look like.

#15 Posted by mosespippy (2610 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

Infinite Machine Gun.

#16 Posted by fusrodah (94 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

@Hailinel: My god, that is the most glorious thing I have ever read

God hand requires tons buffs and debuffs to do anything substational against bosses.

It'd probably look like someone getting bitch-slapped by Unicron.

@crossfear: There's PSN for that?  My only PS2 port I've gotten so far. 
 
Also I would have to go with Luminaire, as much as I love God Hand. Sorry Chie, but I just find Luminaire cooler.

Who the fuck is Crono?

I haven't played God Hand but I watched a let's play by KungFuJesus and it looks pretty rad.

Agent York joins in with his Infinite Machine Gun and makes it a triple tech!!

Ooh, I thought you meant God Hand as in some Chrono Trigger tech I'd not heard of.

Both make up my boss fight strategy. I'm gonna have to go with God's Hand though cos 1) it's a skill of Chie's 2) Power Charge + Tarukaja + God's Hand and 3) it looks awesome.

If you'd made it Bucca's Flare it would've been more tricky. Man, I loved that tech.

Fuck you, Persona is God

#26 Posted by wumbo3000 (784 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

Obviously God Hand. Jeff and Vinny's reactions to first seeing it was absolutely hilarious. And God Hand is giant yellow fist that comes out of nowhere and punches the enemy on top of their head. It's an easy choice.

I think it's kinda funny how Ryan and Patrick are acting like they discovered the super secret way to win at Chrono Trigger, when in reality if took them ages to figure out that the gold stud should be on Crono and even longer to realize that Luminaire is worth using.

#28 Posted by FLStyle (3684 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

Against Single Enemies: God's Hand

Against Multiple Enemies: Luminaire

#29 Posted by fusrodah (94 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

@yoshimitz707: Pretty sure it's Charlie Tunoku's default name

#30 Posted by AndrewB (6872 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Luminaire hits multiple enemies and can drain next to zero MP with the right equipment.

But God Hand is a Chie ability, so...

I think God Hand wins, by default.

#31 Posted by Mento (1621 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Surely the real fight is between Luminaire and Galactic Punt?

#32 Posted by Pabba (208 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

@fusrodah: Ultimate damage. Always with the ultimate damage.

#33 Posted by Guided_By_Tigers (8020 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

God Hand is a pretty good game, it has some crazy cutscenes.
