2022 - Ace Wild -- I am forgotten...

Game no longer runs (Windows 10 64-bit), .exe crashes on start.

How do you beat Jean Heart (Jetboot Girl, Stage 4 boss)? I can fight her up to the point she sets the top of the truck on fire. She has amazing mobility and many of her most deadly moves aren't telegraphed, so only amazing reflexes help. I find chasing her in the air very tiring, even with the auto-homing dash.

Any tips (or a video) on how to beat her? I tried Ace and Gene for 1.5 hours straight, and I still can't counter her moves consistently, and she just executes move after move, wearing me out.

I tried again on Calm difficulty, managed to beat Jean Heart. Still I found no particularly effective strategy beyond "counter everything". Particularly her Jet Blender (multi-hit inescapable super) is very hard to anticipate and avoid. I'll continue this on the GameFAQs forum, and I encourage you to do the same.

This is relevant to my interests -- Aces Wild might be my first ever Desura purchase.
One line descriptor:
"Bangai-Oh Gaiden : The Punching Edition"
I was gonna get some Resident Evil on sale, but I would rather have something fresh like this!

Okay, after freeing up some space and moving Desura to another drive, I was able to download and install this game. The action is fluid and controls responsive. Graphics are hi-res, bright and colorful. It's kinda like a 2D version of the DMC or Bayonetta games. I played a couple of levels. A couple of things I noticed:

- Score is not saved after completing a section. Do I need to lose all my lives and enter my name to get my section/stage scores recorded? That would make sense on an arcade machine, but not at home, I think it should record as soon as you complete a section. If you want to have multiple players record on one installation of the game, maybe allow multiple player profiles to be created?

- I used a wired XBox 360 controller to play. Remapping buttons works, and is designed correctly, you get a list of functions and just tap the buttons in order to assign them, like in SSF2HD, but the output is strange: The game does not display the correct button presses, but seems to arbitrarily display "RIGHT BUMPER" "X" "B" and so on. The button assigments will be recorded correctly, but the display is not updated correctly, which is confusing.

- the music in the first two areas is a bit repetitive, and the way it sounds on the loop point, it seems more suitable for an intro animation or stage complete screen, not for playing continously during the stage. Game music is the aspect that is most depends on individual taste though.
I could always turn it off (I think) and play something else in Media Player.

Played past the Stage 2 boss, Umbrella Girl. I found her really hard, so I was shocked when I actually managed to beat her. Thanks for not trying our patience with pre-fight dialogue or plot. This is all about action. Also thanks for not sending me back to some distant checkpoint, it's like a VS fight, get beat, just try again!

This is pure fun, launch game, grab controller and get straight into it, choose any stage. No boring logos to get between me and the punching.

One thing I missed was a seperate ranking/hiscore list for every stage. (or maybe even every area). The list in the upper right could show you the top 5 as you hover the selection over a particular area. And local/world ranking would be neat too (switch between local/world with the dash button?) I don't quite understand the thinking behind the hiscore list in its current form. I guess the highest possible score would be obtained by beating every area without dying?

Regarding the music, I found the KOF XIII OST quite suitable. I just select Genre > Video Game in my Music Library.

Thanks for making Aces Wild, I'm thoroughly enjoying it!
