Before I start, if you're interested or have any more questions, we have a discord server. Here's the link: https://discord.gg/cKjp3VA (If the invite doesn't work, DM me on discord, it's on my src profile.) We're pretty active even when the game has dry periods so come swing by!
EM is VERY, VERY RNG based. You can become better by practicing a lot. Like Renk and daedlus already said, doing ILs is a very good way to learn how different enemies act and react. There's unfortunately no setup to get the enemies to spawn all on the same side. I'll add that running on Pro difficulty might be better to practice a full run since there are more enemies and they're a bit more aggressive.
To be honest, there's not THAT much skill/acquired knowledge required to get a good run, you mainly have to get good RNG. But, some here are some very small tips that might help you learn the game a bit faster:
- Try to always group enemies together to hit them all at once (pretty clear once you've done) a few runs but still wanted to mention it).
- Always stay on your guard at when you've just defeated an enemy because even though their health bar might've disappeared, they might get up again for some reason. There is no real explanation to this, but it seems to happen more often with the Dozerman.
- Try to identify the "boss" enemy each round as fast as possible. They're usually a bit different (except the Frozen) from the other enemies (i.e. Replicants' boss has shin pads, Blind's boss is wearing a red headband, etc.). They have more health and don't get knocked out after only one A-punch. If you're close to the border of the screen and facing it, use a W-kick to knock him out. If you're not close to a border or have your back to it, use an S-kick. This strat is gonna work most of the time, but you'll get to know how to judge every case at some point.
- Like Renk mentioned, pretty much every enemy has some sort of "quirk." I'll try to lay some out here based on my knowledge of the game:
- Replicants: They will sometimes run away from you (more than other teams).
- Frozen: Not much to say, they're pretty much normal.
- Cirrian Guards: Not much to say, they're pretty much normal.
- Toxic10: Not much to say, they're pretty much normal, though I have a feeling they attack in groups more often than the Frozen or Cirrian Guards.
- Dozerman: They have more HP and all require more than just one A-punch to get knocked out.
- Pyromaniacs: They're really fast and tend to get behind you so it's easy to get them to split up.
- Plague: They require more than just one A-punch to get knocked out and they dodge quite a bit more than other teams.
- Blind: They dodge A LOT more than other enemies and will dodge S-kicks pretty much all the time.
- Tech Team: They are literally the spawn of Satan himself. They weren't loved as children and sold their souls to the king of Hell to get some healing abilities. The only thing I'd recommend for the fight is, during the 5 seconds countdown before the fight, to pray to the EM gods while saying: "Please Tech Team, be kind!"
- Death: The "Deathlings" don't have much health and are basically pushovers, but they're a lot coming at you at the same time. The boss can heal and runs away from you to do it and also dodges pretty much like the Blind. The fastest way to beat this team is to really focus on the boss, running towards him to always try and knock him down as soon as possible. This pretty hard strat is known as "fast Death." If you're wondering what it looks like, daedlus is pretty good at it so watch one of his ILs.
That's pretty much it, I don't blame you if you didn't read all of it, I guess I was kinda motivated to write all I know about the game down lol. :D
Hello, does anyone have a glitch file for the game. If you do, message me on discord or on src. Thanks
