Previous thread here and stuff

This has been my past couple days, aside from being 50 seconds ahead of the AE1 100% WR after Hot Springs.

FCing all 5 parts of "The Games we Played" unlocks a song that is the full, 17 minute version. That's going to be a really fun chart.

I try to do all-female runs of every Super Robot Wars. Not on my first playthrough, mind you. I'm not that crazy.

So far, I've done MX, Alpha 3, OG Gaiden, and K. I'm in Alpha 2 and 2nd OGs right now. I haven't done it on 2nd Z Saisei, but I could if I wanted to. It's not really feasible in W, because that's such a male-tilted game. I wouldn't want to do it in L, because I don't like it all that much. I haven't gotten to it in J because I'm on my first Touya run in English. I'm pretty far in, but I'm just lazy. I don't have enough money in A Portable, but that game's not that great, anyway. Don't like regular A enough. Doing Raul in R right now, or I should, I dunno. I get really nihilistic sometimes. Not bothering with D because I can't get into it. I'm not even sure if you have enough characters. I COULD do Z. Kind of in a Rand playthrough now, though. At least Special was easy to unlock in that.

Not bothering with OG1s (probably not enough characters or high enough attack power), but I could in OG2s. Note that "OG2s" and "OGs2" are different things (the former being the PS2 version of OG2, the latter being "2nd OGs" on PS3). A lot of the old games aren't high-powered enough (no PP) and are skewed towards main characters and the like. The one thing I can say is that the older games let female characters have Soul. Nowadays, you never see it outside of birthday selections, or when Asuka from Eva or Ryoko from the Nadesico movie is involved. Well, it's in the Original Generations tri-duology or whatever it's called, because of Katina (no surprise there; even with five spirits she has it @ 55 SP).

I know it's not very accomplishment-y, but I don't do anything impressive or get lucky whatevers. I can play Idea Factory games without my brain melting out of my ears in sheer boredom/badness, but I think that means I'm insane.

Just beat Ys I Chronicles+ on Nightmare mode today. A couple of the bosses were more random LUCK than skill that was needed, but all in all it was pretty fun, and just how I expected it to be-brutally challenging for me. Should be interesting to see how Book II compares, since apparently I get magic and stuff now!

(Oh right, my Nightmare run was my first runthrough of Ys I, and I stuck with that difficulty when I moved onto the second game, so I dunno how things feel on lower difficulties at all.)

Because I have a penchant for being good at extraordinarily awful games.

Seriously though, fuck this game.

Scored my first Perfect on Project Diva f. It's Rin's first song on the list on Normal difficulty.

Jq1790 · « **Reply #6 on:** March 06, 2013, 04:05:16 AM »

Just beat the last mode of Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy. Hero 3 can die in a fire, since there's pretty much NO room for error, at ALL, but it's cool. sucks that I don't get the Sound Test 'cause it's not the PSP version of HMH, but I'll make my own instead.

Hoo boy!
I managed to beat Smithy in Super Mario RPG without the use of the Lazy Shell, Rock Candies, or any other such broken whatevers at level 18 in my first runthrough.
I finally got around to beating Cackletta's Soul, in what was otherwise a no-dodge run.

Hm... what else?
I've been working on my video game too much to play others.
Can I list accomplishments from games that I've made? :V

Now go without equipment at all and beat Smithy!
Cackletta's Soul was a cheap shot from the developers, though storyline-wise it makes sense at least, given they WOULD be rather beaten up after that...

チソウ タイゼン · « **Reply #9 on:** March 06, 2013, 08:17:54 PM »

You know, I have completed a full no-dodge no-equipment run of Bowser's Inside Story. And also, a low-level no-equipment run. But low-level no-dodge no-equipment is rather impossible to do.

I have no name · « **Reply #10 on:** March 08, 2013, 02:25:15 AM »

I beat the original Spyro the Dragon again today.
Without killing a single enemy or entering flights

Totally worth it, gems are really tight as even allowing damage to enemies (mostly comes into play in Blowhard, hitting him once to open access to the rest of the level was enough gems) and manipulating enemies to hitting other things, I had 6092 gems. You need 6000.

Jq1790 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 08, 2013, 03:38:35 AM »

As of tonight, I've beaten both halves of Ys I&II Chronicles+ on Nightmare mode. Ys II was a LOT easier, and didn't cheapshot me at all. It was basically Ys: The Danmaku Game for boss fights, but I'm OK with that. The last two bosses NOT being vulnerable to your magic was cool too as a throwback to the first Ys's boss style.

Also Shield ring plus Roda Fruit is silly.

Oh right, quickly beat the Ys II Time Attack as well. Only gotta do Ys I's and i'm all done!

I beat the worst Castlevania game ever (that is, Castlevania: The Adventure) without using a continue.

Mr. Sacchi · « **Reply #13 on:** March 16, 2013, 06:52:41 PM »

Cleared Non-Stop ~~Bitchslap~~ ~~Bullshit~~ ~~Orgasm~~ Climax difficulty in Bayonetta and proceeded to platinum it.

Gonna probably go back to trying to platinum infamous as soon as I have the time for it (Read: Am not lazy.)

I have no name · « **Reply #14 on:** March 27, 2013, 12:49:50 AM »

I find it hard to believe no one has done anything they think is worth bragging about in 10 days :V

I managed to improve my WR for Super Mario 63.
by about a minute and a half
Worth the watch I'd say since it's 13 and a half minutes long.

Though how I improved by that much with more deaths...

Mr. Sacchi · « **Reply #15 on:** March 27, 2013, 08:09:18 PM »

I platinum'ed Heavy Rain, after FINALLY discovering what the deal was with Kamikaze.

Spoiler:

And now am doing another inFamous run to platinum that as well.

Also finished Cross Edge, :derp:

@Edit

Platinum'd inFamous.

That's my fourth Platinum, now... Only Final Fantasy XIII Left on the "Immediate Platinums" list :colonveeplusalpha:

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #16 on:** April 01, 2013, 05:45:14 PM »

I only have XIII-2's platinum. I did 1,000 XIII on the 360 though which is basically the same thing though.

I'm working on Disgaea 3 and 4 platinums though, and those will probably feel so good once they happen. I'm a lot closer on 3, but I've been focusing on 4.

I wouldn't even want to try to platinum Infamous. I don't even really plan to play that, but the idea of possibly ending with the 349/350 glitch would be so bad.

Zerviscos · « **Reply #17 on:** April 02, 2013, 03:24:32 PM »

Finished Star Ocean Last Hope International...wait, I didn't just finish the story(already did that years ago), I collected all trophies too.
YEAAAA, beat that!

Oh, and I beat Project Diva f songs in Hard.

Chilled Muffins · « **Reply #18 on:** April 04, 2013, 02:46:08 AM »

Finished Corpse Party: Book of Shadows without getting any Wrong Ends.

... I feel as if this has taken part of the experience from me, though. Oh, well.

Jq1790 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 07, 2013, 02:34:49 AM »

Just beat Recettear's main mode today. Also got the high scores on all 4 chapters of Kirby Quest in Kirby Mass Attack.

Neither of those was especially difficult or anything, but it's something! Gotta finish up the main game eventually(only a little into Stage 2), plus all the other good stuff in there. Not sure if I'll go for all the medals or not, probably not since the game, while fun, isn't nearly as entertaining as 'standard' Kirby games for me. Reminds me, I really need to get Dream Collection one of these days for all the neat stuff in the special edition, plus to own Super Star again after I gave away my copy to a friend.

Also probably gonna beat inFamous this week sometime if all goes well and/or I don't get distracted by other games.

Super Metroid completed for the first time. 6:54, 100%, animals saved.

Zork787 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 10, 2013, 09:20:43 PM »

I just finished Super Mario Sunshine 100% for the first time on my Stream just a few minutes ago (again thanks to those who watched) Feel pretty good now lol.

Wriggle · « **Reply #22 on:** April 12, 2013, 12:41:15 AM »

Improved both my time and my death amount. Could be reduced to 44 minutes if I didn't play way too stupidly from the breakout room onwards (at least I killed The Guy at first try). Still, I'm glad I managed to do it in under 50 minutes twice. :3

edit: lol puush broke the image link, but I already improved this anyway

Rei Scarlette · « **Reply #23 on:** April 12, 2013, 04:48:53 AM »

Does this count? Because it felt like it should. :V

Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention, I decided to speedrun through the item world. For a twist, I set a side goal too: I have to do it in a rank 39 item, Land of Carnage, and it's not "done" until I leave with the stolen rank 40 weapon, zero rarity.

Asking my stopwatch, times are 20:54 (mm:ss) to reach floor 99 in a Drill Emperor then escape, another 2:40 of resetting for the rarity zero Flare Phoenix. Final time 23:34 to turn the r39 into r40.

I have nothing to compare it to, but I was pretty happy about finishing under 25mins. That as far as I know is pretty damn fast.
also no video proof because I wasn't trying to set a record just having fun. i could get a picture of the speedran drill emperor with terrible stats though if you'd like.

Wriggle · « **Reply #24 on:** April 12, 2013, 07:35:33 PM »

...and suddenly my time improves by almost 10 minutes. This is thanks to using nice tricks I learnt from both GachiM's time attacks and some TAS run, like skipping Kraidgief, taking a shortcut by teleporting to the factory section through the Kraidgief's portrait instead of going downwards and waiting that platform displacement thing, playing much aggressiver at Dragon Devil, and other few tricks done via save+R. The rest of the time was saved thanks to not dying to the infamous Crush Room thanks to me developing a much safer way to survive through the spikes (by positioning the pistol at a certain spot), and not dying to that giant and long and boring spike maze. Well, I gotta take a break from this game for now.

You're actually not too far off of this: http://speeddemosarchive.com/IWannaBeTheGuy.html
Yes I know that's with saves and if you tell me you can't compare no saves and saves directly you're preaching to the choir :V
But you can compare the times to see how much farther a no saves run can go

Wriggle · « **Reply #26 on:** April 12, 2013, 10:04:33 PM »

I actually got most of the tricks from here and here. Although I didn't risk the Vic Viper suicide thing, which didn't really matter since I didn't die at the Mike Haggar run. There's also an interesting trick to kind of bypass the screen bullet limit at the Koopa Klown Kar boss, but despite being able to shoot fast with both hands I can't keep shooting for too long without getting my arm way too tired (I don't have man arms after all :V), so I did it the normal way.

And what do you mean by "no saves run"? Impossible? I'm way far from that. :V

Massaca · « **Reply #27 on:** April 13, 2013, 04:26:04 AM »

Just reached 39/50 Spartan Ops missions done solo Legendary no deaths in Halo 4.
http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/3585/legendarystats.jpg
I'm quite pleased with this and consider it an accomplishment since I expected after 33 that the rest would be damn near impossible. I could possibly reach 40 but I really doubt it. So um, yay.
The last one I got done today was hugely annoying with PitA insta-kills near the end (18-23 minutes, mission 2-5 if anyone even plays them).

That's the only thing recently :/

Edit: 40/50 now. And I'm certain that's it.

Wriggle · « **Reply #28 on:** April 13, 2013, 11:57:28 PM »

...okay, I couldn't resist improving my Very Hard time, since the previous one looked too ugly. Now I'm taking the break for real. :V I just got some new platform games to play anyway.

Hero's Tail 3rd speedway light gem challenge. Sub 1 minute.

Also, anything else in this playlist. I am ripping this game (and someone else's speedrun) apart.
