If you can't get enough of Minus Infinity, I suggest looking at LP Racer Ragny's youtube channel. For his birthday, he was going to stream a bunch of games. Right out the bat, he got sent RMI to play blind. The stream ended up instead being him stubbornly playing through it all, and ignoring all advice on what to do. He manages to buster duel ALL 8 masters successfully. Also, an easter egg I've learned about regarding the late game for this:  Use the Toad weapon to win the Toad Man refight. He doesn't actually die, just turns into a little toad, and you can move on. During the closing credits when the stats for your Master duels come up, this counts as a "draw"!

But Dectilon played Cossack 2  Actually the Shock Guard you get reduces you to 1 bar of health on spikes. I found out about it when I was doing a bonus video for after the beta playthrough. You can see all the Recycle Inhaler pickups at the end of the beta highlight reel, and I'll repost the whole bonus video when it's time. I wish we'd known about the Shock Guard and other pickups beforehand though. It would have been so useful. As it worked out, my play in Cossack 3 is beyond shameful.

Phiggle posted:R4MI post  on the forum in the first place. Now it'd just feel silly and redundant to do such a thing, despite how much I feel I know about the game.Any thoughts on how this could still work? I've been itching to take a crack at this and I'd much rather adhere to the original group's plan of action, if any. I have no intention of disrupting the ongoing LP.

Cheez posted:Oh. Oh dear. And I was just discussing doing an LP of this with the good who convinced me to burn my The game's long enough that you could probably just make your own thread for it, if you believe that your LP will offer something that theirs doesn't. Simply Simon runs a thread for each Mega Man game, and it works just fine.

Smart Car posted:Speaking of the recycle inhaler, does it work on the weapons dropped by the bosses in Cossack 4? Considering it works on practically every other special item, I'm kind of curious if it works on those too. Cheez, I agree with Nidoking. No reason you couldn't still do a thread on it if you wanted. If you're just getting started like you say, you might want to go to the Sandcastle with a sample first for some feedback. But clearly there's a lot to show in the game!

Am I the only guy who finds the music in Minus Infinity absolutely intolerable? Technically accomplished, sure, but it's just not Mega Man.

I'm pretty sure earlier in the thread there's a link, but it's all music ripped from other games. So yes, in a very direct sense it's not Mega Man, but at least it's not some horrible homebrew soundtrack.

I do have to agree that the Minus Infinity music isn't the greatest. Rockman no Constancy (a very solid MM2 hack, if with a slightly smaller scope than MI has) has a much better selection and execution.

Better late than never. Thanks to Dectilon for letting me show off a game I really like a lot (but maybe was too short for its own thread.) All good games must come to an end, and Contra 3 is no exception. STAGE SIX - Where Everything Explodes A peaceful time will come! Until two years later when Hard Corps debuts, that is.

^^^ Woo! Contra double-whammy! The Merkinman posted:You didn't show the branching path In due time. In due time. UPDATE I got a few things that need doing for the time being, but here's Ending B and A, played through by Ray and Fang, respectively. Level 5b: Ray  Level 5a: Fang  I'll do an alternate take when I get the time, but for now here's two levels for the price of one to make up for that. EDIT: Also, give this song a listen. It only plays in these paths for about 10 seconds and it's woefully underplayed. Zeikier fucked around with this message at 22:57 on May 1, 2013 |

Very impressive. I have trouble keeping track of everything in the fight against Red Falcon (the part where it has a human face). I also love the poo poo out of that boss theme.

Yeah, the final boss theme is  as hell. Not the best song, but it really gets you pumped to blow poo poo up. Unless you're talking about the fight before that; that theme is also cool.Also, someone mentioned earlier that CHC reminded them of Gunstar Heroes. My sources are vague, but I think some dudes who worked on this also worked on Gunstar, or vice versa. I forgot the details if it's true.

I like the theme before the main final boss them because it just sounds like "this is less a boss fight and more of a cutscene wherein you die a lot".

 The Legend Of Zelda: Parallel Worlds is a romhack of The Link to the Past. Released in 2006, it has new graphics, a new overworld, a new underworld, new music and even a completely original story. It is known as a sadistically hard romhack, with a steep difficulty curve and a lot of backtracking. Version 1.1 was released soon afterwards, which fixed several bugs. As hard as this romhack may be, if you have the patience to get through it, your efforts will really pay off. You may remember an enjoyable LP of this game done by Zomodok and Diabetus. I'll be attempting to 100% this game and also cover the Second Quest.  Part 1: Introduction and the path to the Guardhouse With Catsworth and Killeremcee. In this update we cover the introduction of the game and getting to the Guardhouse, but not before getting a couple of useful items along the way.

I remember that hack. I pulled off a tricky boomerang throw and expected to be rewarded with a sequence break of some kind, but instead I just got permastuck.

Each path gives a different portrait, yeah. So Fang gets a sweet statue in Ending B and so on. after that level, a drat statue is the least they could do

^^^^ nice job! Definitely looking forward to what you have to say about the Laboratory. Minus Infinity continues!

The Spark weapon is based on / a reference to the Fish + Electric power in Kirby's Dream Land 2, that's probably where the Manbow name comes from.

And now I finally understand what this "Manbow" thing is that keeps cropping up. It's a mambo fish, a relative of the mola mola. Japanese translations are a rocky business. That ending section of the level is amazing, and I salute the programmer for having the determination to make it work.

Is there any particular reason you guys aren't using Rush Search more often? I keep seeing you finish a room and be almost dead and I'm practically shouting at the screen "Go dig up some health!". I mean, now you have a gazillion E-tanks, so I guess it's kind of moot, but still.

I tend to want to keep the tempo up. I prefer re-recording until I get a decent run to stopping in the middle of it to refill my health. As for Phiggle I think he forgets to sometimes.

Loving the RMI revisit. The music may not be everyone's cup of tea, but this is exactly the type of game I wish we got more of in the Megaman series. Also, it's being run at SGDQ this year. Speedruns of this are so cool.

The flying pod you get into looks a lot like Opa-Opa from Fantasy Zone minus the wings. Great thread as a whole, by the way. The fact that someone went out of their way to LP Dodonpachi Daioujou, both loops even, is amazing.
