I've done some Pokemon speedruns (Gen 1, Gen 2, the remakes) and got pretty good times on them (well, not like compared to legit speedruns, I think I was like 15-30 minutes off of those). Oh, and a Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones speedrun, although that was the most half assed thing ever but somehow I still finished it in a couple of hours. Go Seth.

So in my RKS challenge run frenzy over the last week or so, I've managed the following:

>Running the entire first game Seelegewehr only sans the Iris Machine's second half (which I managed to beat Seelegewehr-only in a separate run)
>Running the entire first game Cross Tankless
>1ccing the first game with three deaths (deathless is possible, deathless no Cross Tank is simply asking for death)
>Beating the final boss of both games default weapon only Cross Tankless

So next... Cross Tankless in Freudenstachel once I get better at certain bosses? *looks at Schirach*

Finally cleaning up my stuff in Dream Team, beat all the Giant X bosses. Just Antasma X now! I don't care to do the Battle Medleys, so he's my last thing there.

Yesterday I beat Mega Man II in normal mode without using any continues. I'm going to try and do the same for Mega Man I next.

I managed to beat The Binding of Isaac on my very first try. I got really lucky with the items. Almost all of them were stat boosts, but I got some other good items too, like Forever Alone, the Treasure Map, and the useful X-Ray Vision. One moment I'm really surprised to had happen is when I accidentally used my pill. The good part? It was a telepill. The room I teleported to? The I Am Error room. The best part? The floor I was on was The Depths II, meaning I actually skipped Mom! While The Womb gave me a tough time, I managed to get to and defeat Mom's Heart. Speaking of Mom's Heart, she felt like an anticlimax compared to the rest of the game, as pretty much all she does is spawn mooks and then hide until I kill them. In addition, I managed to unlock Cain in addition to Judas because I got a massive amount of money (I'm pretty sure I managed to get more than 100? throughout the entire run)!

Sometimes, I even amaze myself.

Just Yesterday I beat challenge 30 in the KoF 2002 UM The mission was to beat Igniz and Omega Rugal with infinite power bars with one character. My character of choice was Ralf.
Vs. Igniz- The best thing to do is move back, go RRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAHHHH , and punch him in his face repeatedly until he is dead. However sometimes I messed up and took some damage which sucks because they don't replenish your health between battles. Even worse is when I died to him because it was from a combo to Brutal God Project which does Major damage.
Vs. Omega Rugal- This guy has too much attack and defense. The best strategy is to go RRRRRRRAHHHHH and tackle him until he is dead. Also, you have to use supers against this guy, just don't mistime them otherwise you will eat a Gigantic pressure or a Genocide Cutter. If you have one bar, you can do 2141236+P to air 236+P for some good damage. If you have 2 bars go for 2363214+PP as it does great damage if you hit him. I barely beat him as one hit would have killed me and one tackle would have killed him. I go for the tackle , he tries to Repuken me but I go straight through it and hit him to win the match.
Mario Kart 8- I have all parts except for the Golden Glider. The Golden Glider requires 10000 coins to get :colonveeplusalpha:. You think that's enough Nintendo?
Zen Pinball 2- I have broken 100 million on Fear Itself. This is the 2nd table I broke 100 million on, the first one being paranormal. I will put my highscore here for all of the tables I own.

Avengers- 39,726,129
World War Hulk-27,937,000
Fear Itself-121M
The Infinity Gauntlet-29,674,653
The Amazing Spiderman-29,647,848
Wolverine-13,103,700
IronMan-10,886,000
Blade-28,991,000
Epic Quest-47,139,601
Plants vs. Zombies-33,694,139
Paranormal-129M
Street Fighter 2-46,828,878

As you see I did good on some of them. Others... not so much.

OH MY GOD! I just beat Yggdrasil Core/Primevil in Etrian Odyssey Untold. I was playing classic mode on expert difficulty. It took me many, many, many tries, but finally I was able to pull it off. My strategy was to slowly wear it down so it wouldn't go the the last phase and start using random attacks. Then I hit it with everything I got and thankfully it was enough... Damn my hands are still shanking xD

CyberAngel · « **Reply #159 on:** October 16, 2014, 06:34:33 PM »

Remember when I talked about Super Contra? I gave up eventually. Today, after a long pause, I remembered I tried to do it and decided to do a casual run.

3 starting lives, no continues, one dead alien invader!

Did really good overall as well - no deaths till stage 5 (got pinned down by a wall cannon opened too early), 6 lives at the end, almost finished 2nd loop as well (game over on final stage, lowering ceiling part, died just because ceiling decided to start second lowering cycle while I was above the big pit, could've reached the end no problem otherwise).

CyberAngel · « **Reply #160 on:** October 19, 2014, 08:05:51 PM »

Max Payne, Dead on Arrival mode cleared!

Not all that bad once you know what you're doing. Unless there's a guy with a shotgun having a clear shot at you, in which case it's either sidestep IMMEDIATELY or die even when at full health. Even if the guy's across the room. Such spots were usually a mandatory save. Still, only a few chapters were hard enough that I'd need to use all 7 saves. The worst offender, unlike what I expected, wasn't the first Aesir Corporation level ("Nothing to Lose"), which is complicated but very structured (plus no need to hold anything back meant liberal usage of Jackhammer and grenade launcher), but the car park one ("Backstabbing Bastard"), which clearly has way too high people-per-square-mile ratio.

Skyrim

Reached Level 78 (By grinding Alteration... a lot. Seriously, it's been legendaried three times.)
Went to the dragon roost south of Riften.
Immediately greeted by a Legendary Dragon.
Obliterated it in less than 60 seconds.

If you're transmuting iron ore to make gold so you can get gold rings to sell, yeah, your Alteration's going to go up a lot. I don't plan to reset any of my skills besides melee weapons/armor. Everything else is too much work. You can always find something to hit until it dies. Archery uses ammo, but at least arrows are weightless and you can carry as many of every kind as you need.

I haven't accomplished anything lately. Nothing beaten or anything like that. You know, I wish Gensou Shoujo Taisen would recognize the f'ing L2 and R2 buttons on my PC controller. It doesn't. The order in which it labels the buttons prioritizes the "push the analog stick" buttons over the second pair of shoulder buttons. What the hell? I can map L2 and R2 on emulators, but not a PC game. At least it'll read the D-Pad. It won't when I'm using my PS3 controller.

Got the "Girl Who Slays 10,000" trophy and with it the Platinum. My second Platinum! That's a fun game and there's still a lot to do in it. Funny thing, I was doing Hanzo 4-2, since that's the only place I know of with limitless enemies, and was waiting and waiting for the trophy to pop. I looked before I went in and saw that I was at like 9920ish and only had to kill 80 more. The trophy doesn't show up until the score screen and I ended up killing over 500 guys. Whoops.

Here's how to grind Alteration like crazy. (You can reach 100 from 15 in less than an hour)

Detect Life in a market (Riften is a good one) or someplace where there's a lot of people. That's all.

I've been playing Kingdom Hearts 1.5 again recently because 2.5 is coming out soon.

After a lot of resetting and reloading saves, got this on my current run of Kingdom Hearts 1.5. Sadly flash caused the number of heartless to be partly obscured, but everything else shown in the battle report was fine. Would not have been able to do this without spamming lots of magic and summons during the playthrough.

FlamingRok · « **Reply #167 on:** November 04, 2014, 12:11:40 PM »

Quite a while back, I thought I'd challenge myself by speeding up a video game. I decided on Battletoads, to speed up by 1.5x speed (starting from Turbo Tunnel, as the first two levels are a little trivial). I managed to do better than I thought, making it all the way to Terra Tubes. Maybe I'll revive this idea some other time down the road, who knows. Luckily, I also decided to record it.

Nice job. Intruder Excluder was an amusing watch, especially the first Robo-Manus attempt. It probably was just as amusing to play.

FlamingRok · « **Reply #169 on:** November 04, 2014, 06:05:35 PM »

Amusing to play, but also infuriating. I just wanted to get onto Terra Tubes, but kept getting knocked down! I'll probably end up trying this again, maybe on a stream. Thanks for the praise.

CyberAngel · « **Reply #170 on:** November 04, 2014, 06:44:27 PM »

No problem. I know the joys of an old-school challenge. I myself am trying to complete Super Contra using only the default gun, and I usually run out of continues by the last stage (not using the lives code, though). Really fun, if frustrating at times. Not that it stops me, even if I'm not sure I can ever do this.

You have to be level 23 before it'll start spawning as random loot, and level 40 before you can buy it, unless you do the quest "Infiltration", which is kind of out of the way (as in, it's not found in any main holds or towns). Transmute can be acquired a hell of a lot earlier in a mine full of bandits. And it helps you level Smithing, because Gold is far-enough up on the material tier list that you don't need to make 50 items to level up once. Later on, yeah, Detect Life is better. But Transmute is good for the early game because you're multitasking skills and making some start-up capital.

CyberAngel · « **Reply #172 on:** November 08, 2014, 03:58:28 PM »

Well, after one too many failures, I gave up on that "default gun only" Super Contra challenge. To play for fun, I decided to go "default and machine gun only" instead. The result is...

FOUR LOOPS! :dragonforce:

Man, I so regret I can't record my playing for now. I guess I'll see what I can do by the next time. I don't know any superplayers for this game or what tricks they use, but I came up with some impressive stuff myself (in many cases thanks to my bullet hell experience), so I'd love to show off someday.

It's come to that my main enemy in the game are pretty arbitrary bullet count limits. Even with machinegun I get gaps in my bullet stream in some conditions and it can matter quite a lot. But even knowing the game as good as I do, there are a few places where I can die just by sheer bad luck (like when an enemy jumps out of the edge of the screen when I need to be at that spot). A few places in stage 7 are pretty bad as well, where dying once means you'll die at least once more before you can move on, and that's when you know what to do in that situation, otherwise it's pretty much a game over. On the upside, this game is very generous with score-based 1-ups - you get 1-2 lives per stage on average. I guess it wouldn't look like much with two players around, but additional firepower helps in that case. Oh well, I'm fine with the game as it is.

PX · « **Reply #173 on:** November 17, 2014, 05:47:51 PM »

Arbitrary bullet count is you maxing the sprite limit the game can handle on screen at any time. Of course, this means you can despawn enemies if you cap out sprites at the time an enemy should spawn

That's just the thing, it's NOT because of a sprite limit in this case. With spread gun you can have 10 of your bullets on the screen at all times, with machine gun it's 6, and with the default gun it's 4 (and it's VERY noticeable with turbo buttons, which I'm so used to I can't even think about playing NES without them). Besides, there's no hard sprite limit on NES, the games either slow down or have flickering when there's too many of them. Contra and Super C, for example, slow down, which becomes very noticeable in additional loops.

...Oh, in case anyone cares, I can't make any videos after all, my PC is just that weak. But at least I'm using an emulator that can save replays, so I might consider recording them starting with next time I play.

I hit Ninja Level 15 in Bon Appetit. And got so excited I missed the next few notes and came close to losing the round, but I didn't care. I got the hard trophy out of the way. Now all that's left are the time consuming trophies: play 200 songs, hit 50k notes, get 10m score, collect 49 panties. I think I'll wait for Gessen x Hebijo to come out before doing those.

I got all the achievement from The Binding of Isaac. I took hours of searching and reseting to find the last item (pyro) but I'm so glad I finally found it.

My rarest trophies on PSN was mostly from KickBeat, some rhythm game for the PS Vita.
It's some mediocre western rhythm game, not much has played it and not much has cared, and pretty much why the percentage is so low.

In Gunvolt...

S+ on every stage
Over 1mil score on the first eight stages
Spoiler:
and all four special stages
. Most notably, 3329859 on Stratacombs, though I still see plenty of room to improve on that.

Next on the agenda is to finish up the challenges (not many left) and then probably pushing as many stages as possible into the 2mil+ ranges.

EDIT: And all challenges done now. :V
