Hopeless Masquerade Practice mode problem

[Maribel Hearn]

In SWR or UNL, one is able to properly test spells (especially to show them others). You can use Practice mode to damage an unmoving foe and use shortcuts to get spells and test them. But in this excuse of a Practice Mode in HM, the foe automatically shields. I've tried every single option and shortcut key and there's no way to disable it! WHAT? >_< It's been pissing me off a lot. What's wrong with this Practice Mode T_T Why doesn't it let me damage test as it's supposed to do?

I'd be so glad if there was a patch to fix this... *cries*

And if anyone's going to bring up Vs Player, no, I don't wish to use that; it doesn't let you use shortcuts and you have to spend a lot of time to get to spells and Last Words for every character.

I just went and did a vs com though, will check that practice mode blocking soon. Also, any way to improve the speed? Feels slightly sluggish.

Esc -> switch both the second and third lines from the bottom to the 2nd option (the one with three runes).

Thanks a lot! It worked! I tried switching all the options, but not multiple options at the same time. xD Silly me.

The options are Guard and Chicken Guard, if you wanted to know what they are. I believe the final option line for the 3rd to last option is to have comp block after first hit, so you can test combos that way.

Esc -> switch both the second and third lines from the bottom to the 2nd option (the one with three runes).

From above:
Go back to game
Go to character select screen
Go to title(main menu)
Reset the position(Shortcut:F1)
Set health
Set spirit
Spirit immediately recovers (Yes/No)
Set Player 1 popularity (50% yes and no/75% yes and 25% no/100% yes/100% no)
Set Player 2 popularity (same as above)
Dummy's behavior (Stay in the middle/Go up/Go down/Com/2P control)
AI's difficulty (Easy/Normal/Hard/Lunatic)
Set Player 1 position (This will change your starting position and when you press reset(F1))
Set Player 2 position (Same as above, also the dummy will position themselves there during the practice)
Set whether hits will be confirmed as counter or not (Yes/No/Random)
Auto-guard (Yes/No/Random/First hit only)
Chicken-guard, the one that pushes back (Yes/No/Random)
Roll after down (Forward/Backward/Random)

This should be all you can do in practice mode.
