GG man! But please don't pause the game on your next run.
This was incredible to watch, soo smooth very few problems! Only 9 hours practice! GG!
24:18 by OG game standards, decent time :)
you could be on to something yeah, can you show us?
Thats interesting. What I would do if I were you is: get a sample of say 10-20 stage 6 at the start, do the exact same movements each save and record the differences. If you want to sample a different movement, then make another video with 10-20 samples showing this as well. Its easier to show your findings than explaining them. And most importantly, best to find something thats useful to use in actual runs. Thats the juicy stuff everyone wants to know.
Great idea to analyse some parts of the game to see if you can find any patterns that we can manipulate. I will be excited what you find out about the game with such creative ideas and approaches like this :) Once you get setup make sure to update us with your videos or streaming channels so we can join you and cheer you on :) heh take care
Antho or Iopa are more qualified to help with this sort of thing but I've made this rough video to give you an idea for what some of the strats on Stage 7 would look like.
If your struggling on stage 5 boss R Bear I suggest throwing the sword at the 2nd bongo to spawn him before dealing with R Bear and then killing R Bear on his own by using defensive special and grabbing him against the wall, either that or using the sword to kill him and not spawning that 2nd bongo at all.
Also you can spawn the boss on stage 6 on his own, most people are using this strat especially on mania so you should be able to just copy somebody's runs for this quite easily.
When you load a save from an actual run you will notice that on a good save the ninjas will line up and atomic drop together every single time. If you load the stage 6 from the cheat code you will never get them to line up for example. Its just RNG. I remember asking Antho this exact question when I started running this game as well. I was sure that he knew something that I didnt! Sadly its just random based on how the RNG is set for each different run. What difficulty are you running Stencilite? Personally I get very excited for new players joining the club! I hope to see your runs sometime in the future :)
As for the guides, yeah more guides the better. Stage 7 for example has alot of improvisation that will take time to learn from experience. If your looking for safe strats I suggest watching Anthopants no death run. There are a couple of cheese strats to learn for Jets and Kickboxer sections on stage 7 that should help alot. The jet strat has you kill one jet at a time and the kickboxer strat has the enemies stuck and you slice them all with the sword. If you look around some of anthopants videos you should be able to find it. His no death run may be a little more improv when he fails the strats hes aiming for thats why I suggest looking around. I may just made a video in the future for easy access for people.
Lutz is right man your talented and you learned this soo fast, don't move to Blaze bro keep going at Max please :)
