Ok so i'm new to the game. Just saw some of the videos and got hooked on it. Any tips for a newb?

Yes. Look at topics in the board for the class you've chosen to help decide what skills and stats to get. Read the stickies in any boards you go to. If you get stuck on a stage, replay previous ones until you're strong enough. And since SO many people get problems with this, to unlock the Novice you beat the original 8 stages with all 6 classes, gender is unimportant. To get the extra stage beat the original 8 with Novice.
