In Donkey Kong Country for the SNES, when playing as Mr. Donkey, you could perform a ground slap by pressing down + the run button. Nobody ever did this because it was basically useless and almost always a much smarter move to just do the roll instead. What are some other game techniques that never get used in practice because they're obviously inferior to some other, equally available technique? Also suggest a booze pairing for each technique, this one gets a nice dram of scotch.

in Metroid, Samus Aran can fire missles. this little-used but powerful technique always got overshadowed by my strategy of 'flopping around Zebes like a retard.'

You could play duck hunt by having a second controller plugged in and it would control the direction of the duck.

In the gba version of donkey Kong country, you used the ground slap to find photos for the bonus gallery.

With this you could use the second controller to shoot a gun in the end-level cutscenes, middle-school me took advantage of this many times in Egyptian to watch Baron Samedi run up and start laughing and then shoot him mid-laugh.

Endorph posted:did anyone ever use royal guard style in devil may cry 3 Yes because blocking attacks and then one-inch punching groups of fools so hard they explode is dope as gently caress. I enjoyed DMC4 purely because when you get Dante he's able to switch between 5 styles on the fly which is extremely awesome.

Endorph posted:did anyone ever use royal guard style in devil may cry 3 If you intentionally jump or roll into enemy attacks and then block it gets really easy to get perfect guards/releases, it's an exploit they fixed for DMC4 The only useless move in DMC3 is the grappling hook on the rocket launcher, this move is so bad that even though it's bugged and doesn't actually do anything in the HD collection nobody noticed for like a month.
