The game almost screwed me over on my last Samson run. I was building up Samson's stats, and had a very good thing going on (two Guppy items, Dark Bum, Little Chad, Jera rune, full set of spirit hearts, and quite good rate of tears and damage). Then I enter the womb and it's the curse of the maze. I enter a double key room and it's an One Dice. I definitely don't want to reroll my whole run, so I leave. A couple of rooms later the curse decides to teleport me to the double key room and I walk like an idiot into the middle of it and reroll the run anyway to an Ipecac, triple shot, loki's horn, anti-gravity and strange attractor tears with 3 normal hearts and a few spirit hearts (lost my Polaroid invincibility and lost all spirit hearts before the It lives fight). It almost hosed up the entire run, until I realized two floors later (at the Cathedral) that I have Pyromaniac as well and the ipecac explosions (which were all over the place and I was trying to avoid, dodging into enemies as a result) heal me. The rest of the run became this majestic thing of explosions everywhere in every room. Isaac and Blue baby had no chance

If anyone's wanting to practice a Lost run, I just had a run with the Dead Cat (you have to kill the miniboss tho, I think it's Super Lust?) on the first floor and the Holy Mantle on the second. Be careful of the upper right item drop in the boss rush, it's Anti Grav. That made things pretty irritating afterwards, but the reward for completing the rush is the Plinking Shears so it was definitely worth it. R31L 878J

Pinking shears are the toothed shears used for fabric and possibly something else. Plinking, with an L, is priority linking, a thing that abuses the lovely coding of SFIV to make links easier. For the love of god people LEARN THE loving NAMES Of your items.

Ah yes, consistently misspelling one word that looks similar to another word because of a letter that looks similar to another letter, means you are retarded and illiterate. Thanks goon hyperbole.

JoshVanValkenburg posted:I for one love the plinking sheers and keep them over pretty much every use item. makes a ton of bosses 2EZ Yeah I totally underrated them at first but it's crazy high damage, it seems like the damaging 6-charge items are really poorly balanced in general because some of them are like "instantly kill a boss" (krampus head, plinking shears) and then you have Crack the Sky.

Yeah, Plinking Shears are fun. How are the Scissors? I haven't gotten 100 deaths yet, but they don't sound great.

I don't like the Sclissors as much as I do the Plinking Shears, they're harder to navigate successfully for me.

Wait, don't tell me the Sclissors work like the Gluillotine. They seriously made that the 100 death prize instead of the Plinking Shears?

The scissors works kind of like the guillotine, only you're not moving both parts. Your head sits in place and you run around controlling the body. I've managed to get Body, Mind and Soul, all in my item list without finding a single one. D100 and the Missingno or whichever rerolls your items.

For best results use the Plinking Shears on the boss rush. That little guy is like a murderous energizer bunny.

The plinking shears seem really hard to balance. At the 6 room charge they have now, I rarely want to take them. But I think making it even 4 would be overpowered.

I only ever activate the Plinking Shears in boss rooms, but that's good enough for me.

I initially got mad at people mis-pronouncing synthol until I realised the game really did call it synthoil after all.

Finding Stleven is the only thing between me and Rleal Pllatinum Glod. This is going to take me all year of resetting the game after Basement II, isn't it.

He can only appear in Basement 1 so no need to beat any other boss.

The ideal thing to find in the Item Room is Little Steve, if you're hunting for the Steven item. Isn't necessary, but does basically guarantee the item should Steven (the boss) appear. Otherwise, you're facing 1/6 odds even if he does show up.

It's not all that hard to get an infinite reroll setup and find the secret room in the chest, Steven exists in exactly one room in the game and it's on basement 1 only.

Panko Shears kinda seem like a cheese move against the big bosses, I personally like them the most against dual Monstro 2/The Cage-type bosses with a metric shitton of health.
