Gotta say that a run with a 1% success rate probably isn't fantastic marathon material.

Or the paper mario run last time that had to savestate through several fights. It's dumb.

e: manipulated runs are cool and fun, but you better have them practiced to the point you can do them drat near 100% of the time, like the Final Fantasy 1 or Dragon Warrior 1 runs.

I think the pitch for this suggested single zones as a backup.

Dead Cells seed is going to be validated for "Not Awful" before the run by a non-runner, and we'll probably have some backup options

He submitted both any% and low% but they accepted low%.

Reading the submission again, he's using single zones mode as a safety save/checkpoint system. If he dies in zone 3, he'll just switch to zone 3 single zones and then move onto zone 4 single zones.

Using that system he's 100% going to finish, it just won't be in one run.

Hi, I run Necrodancer and I'm friends with Spooty. Yeah he's the only one to ever have done it, and he's done it twice.


Correct. Can't even pick up bombs.


He has a backup plan of doing the single zones modes which is way easier. So he'll probably do "runs" for 15-20 minutes and then do each zone individually if he fails, or maybe do the zones he didn't finish.


I mean his success rate at this point is probably still less than 1%, but he'll be grinding it just about every day on stream.

Cheers for all the info! I consider myself pretty good at Necrodancer (cleared all the story chars) but am miles off even unlocking Coda

Double speed, one hit kills you, one missed beat kills you, picking up gold kills you

The marathon run will be low% so no picking up items either

"Coda is a combination of Aria, Monk, and Bolt. She moves at double speed, instantly dies upon picking up gold or the Crown of Greed, dies upon missing a beat, cannot gain more heart containers, and cannot use any weapon other than a Dagger. When Coda is in play, enemies that drop 0 gold will drop 1 gold instead. This includes boss fights."

it's brutal

Coda is basically the traits of monk + bolt + aria. Double tap speed, death for missing a beat, can't gain health, die in one hit, die for touching gold, can only equip the basic knife.

There's basically two kinds of people who play Necrodancer - roguelike players and dancegame players.

Spooty's a dancegame player.

I ended up enjoying Mega Man 11 a lot and so for the first time in 10 years it's time to learn to speed run some Mega Man! I appreciate that this game feels designed in such a way that it doesn't seem to tire my hands out as much as older entries in the series. Or maybe it's just that the Switch pro controller is that comfy to me.

No need, this sort of stuff is available today.

The above site is legitimately mario's va. you can tell he runs it himself because it is still geocities-ers.

edit: just a warning, the site is so old it auto-downloads a .mov file that is a 8 minute long video portfolio when you enter the homepage.
