Levi ex on ps3? Doable?

[LunarEmerald]

I play PS3 and have killed Leviathan Extreme well over 20 times.

lol for my 2 cents worth. The difference for me between pS4 and ps3 is night and day.

Incredible how
- no longer wait 2-5 seconds for NPCs to load.
- Places actually look full
- game detail and enemies look so much better
- characters actually move rather than float across the screen or warp
- on and now I can just REACT to what on screen rather than pre emp all the time (which was not fun for me)
- i can target adds now quicker rather than wait for them to show up...or in some fates actually see the enemies

If you love the ps3 and using it and and clear all content good for you. For me the PS4 gives me better game enjoyment and i hated having to pre emp moves. that is not what a fight should be to me.

We have about 4 PS3 players in our FC and they didnt have problems to dodge them.Was hard at first but it went perfectl ye when they got used to it.

Oh my god you guys r missing the point.
So dumb lol why do i even ask XD
This thread isn't about the performance of the ps3 vs pc/ps4.
I'm just asking about how the hell do you move tge camera so that you can see the initial water splashes that leviathan makes before he rushes.
I just need advice on how to use the camera the right way in that fight as i know i'm doing something wrong as other ps3 users have beaten him a lot already.
Damnnn you guys need to shut up and be helpful, leave your useless ps3 vs pc/ ps4 conversations out of this thread.

This thread is about levi being doable on the ps3.
Answer is yes.
My other question that needs answering is how do you use the camera the right way?
Any tips / tricks?

[TeganLaron]

Uhm, our Fc has most of players on ps3 and we are able to farm it...so... uhm ò.ò
Practice?

Exactly this. Everytime a PS3 player fails it's like "zomg my ps3 makes me suck." I play on PS3 and farm it. Is it harder on PS3? Probably. But it's far from the impossible task OP is making it out to be.

..Any tips / tricks?

ps3 player here. i had to do a few things to help learn/beat levi x.
1. turn camera speed up to 100% so i can 360 look at the map quicker.
2. turn off bgm so i could hear where the splashes were coming from better. unfortunately, time and time again i would have delays with the splash animation but could hear their general direction just fine.
3. learn the pattern.
4. i start from the center so my dodging movement is minimal. also i pull the camera back all the way but set it at about 45 degrees behind me so that i can see 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock and listen for the splash behind me and react.
5. lastly i use sprint a lot as a just in case.

Unless he does a side charge, he will charge from the direction he was in before he dived (Ex. if he was on the North side of the boat, after he dives, he will go N to S, then S to N), so don't move the camera initially. After you dodge the first dash, turn the camera to where he dived, and dodge the second. The side dashes are a bit trickier and all I can recommend for those is to be watchful.

For the body slams, just put your camera to one direction. If you don't see the spout, wait for the noise and run to the side of the boat where you didn't see the spout. Hope that helped!

Sorry but it's a fair bit easier then that, you haven't grasped Levi ex enough

PS3 users have a steeper learning curve, but all mediums reach the same point no matter if it's a low end pc, ps3, or ps4. Levi Ex isn't like Titan Ex where lag destroys people.

There is enough cues and time in Levi Ex that the way to do it on ps3 is the same as a PC. The difference is until you learn it, those fumbling around hurts ps3 users more then PC.

Levi Ex relies on both audio and graphical cues, as well as experience.

1:Pre-bubble dives are always front then back. Any idiot has enough time to move their camera properly for those cues. (Point your camera at levi, then 180)
2: Body slams always happen west at start, then you can rely on audio cues.
3: Cross dives are beaten with audio cues. The "splash" sound will tell a player

Audio cues is the 2nd skill you learn and should be learning for future events. For instance if you point your camera at levi, waiting for a slash, but you hear a splash behind you, then by process of elimination, you know it's a cross dive, and the middle or back isn't safe, so run towards the front.

If you hear an audio cue in front, but it's not left or right, then again process of elimination, it's a cross dash on your side, and you move to the rear.

levi EX will never ever start with a rear dive, so there is never a need to rely on camera speed that exceeds the ps3. You are given more then enough time between dives to setup your your next dodge.

on my 75th levi kill now and PS3 here

most of my wipes were DPS being slow rather than avoiding
