I recently acquired a PSP 3002 and have started BBS, but I can't save because I don't have that memory stick thingy.

 

As a NDS player, I found 358/2 days and recoded controls pretty easy to handle.

 

But with BBS on the PSP,I'm needing some help

 

First problem

Shoot lock timing

• L+R (to bring up that green target thingy)
• Toggle stick (to move the green target thingy)
• (X) (to execute the shotlock)

I found it quite hard to do shot-locks, especially when the enemy is moving towards you are incredible speed. Any tips for this?

 

 

Second problem

Deck command selection and locomotion

• Changing deck commands needs the use of the D-pad using the left thumb
• Moving the character needs the use of the toggle stick using the left thumb

SO, how does one go about moving the character AND scrolling through your deck command list?

Its annoying, does that mean I have to stop moving every single time I want to change commands in my deck

On Recoded they made it easier for you by making the L button the 'deck command' scroller button so you can move the character with the left thumb AND pick your deck commands with your left index finger.

 

Third problem

 

Any handy tips you can suggest?

 

 

~~The music is sublime~~ I may have made remixes of some of the melodies, but listening to the original tunes straight from the game itself....its really something beyond this realm

1. Try to move far from the unversed and hold L+R and try to lock on to as many as possible. Then carry out the commands (if any).

2. Lol this issue is something i never thought about. If you're thumb is big enough, you can keep moving the character and press down until you get to the command that you want. Thats what i do sometimes. But if you don't want to mess up by hastily pressing down, just step a bit far from the enemy and choose your command, or just have your favorite command as the first one to use and then have your other commands in an order where you can use them one after the other.

3. Dodge roll/cartwheel/slide to avoid enemy attacks so you can have some time to choose a command.

 

So much talk about BBS makes me want to play it...

for number 1. basically what burnsideking 24 said for

as for number 2 i use my index finger since i find it easy and i use my thumb when using the analog stick usually when my character is going forward

for number 3 Spam the dodges and blocks

It gets easier, you just have to get used to using a psp.

1. There's really nothing to be done using shotlocks when enemies are coming at you full speed. Part of the strategy to shotlocks is that you have to be a reasonable distance from the enemy. That's just not a time where you try to use a shotlock.

2. I usually just stop moving if I need to change commands. Occasionaly, I'll just use my thumb to both go in one direction and move the down button on the pad if I can, but again, that's just part of the strategy/difficulty. Those are both two things that you have to live with, some of the few challenges that come with BBS.

And yes, the music is indeed sublime.
