Re: NEW! SMW2 Yoshi's Island is "difficult"
I'll tell you what's odd is the non-essential obscurities were more forgiving than the essential ones. The hidden door amongst spikes near the Super Baby Mario section of the castle maze was highlighted by coins, the red coin hidden at the top of a tree was beneath an obvious egg cache, and the off-...

Re: NEW! SMW2 Yoshi's Island is "difficult"
Yikes. So howzabout that Golden Yoshi Returns, yo? I knew there was something on the tip of my tongue when super-long YI hack levels were the focal point, and there you are. I wonder, was raocow ever made privy to that thing? It was good pavework for the time and a deal saner than 6-S. EDIT: I'm als...

You're also forgetting some surreptitious editing from this very level.

Re: NEW! SMW2 Yoshi's Island is "difficult"
Rameau's Nephew already pulled the teeth from any conclusive thoughts I'd see fit to write and indentured them, so. I've made my thoughts ramblingly clear in too many posts already. Suffice it to say you can call N!SMW2YI nothing if not ambitious. raocow himself would probably sooner beat AUS on Ins...

Re: NEW! SMW2 Yoshi's Island is "difficult"
I gotta ask, were you at least able to put this nonsense behind you today? Ideally the remainder of the level, despite it refusing to ever finish, should fly by fairly quickly while ignoring items.

Re: NEW! SMW2 Yoshi's Island is "difficult"
I foresee an endless field of Puddingtons spawning over a bottomless pit, Yoshi dislodging from one and catching the other in a desperate bid to reach the mattress of solid Puddington on the far end. No, no. Fighting Naval... on Puddington. No, wait! A linear 30 second stretch with every red coin an...

The guy who's looking around for a way to bring Puddington from his spawn point to the obvious 'Puddington Here' alarm terrain he just got done passing by.

Eh, since people already caught it before I edited it out and raocow's already played through the entire section, I suppose it can't hurt to post publicly. Just wait on this if you haven't played 6-S yourself before. Here's the shortest route through the castle maze, ignoring collection: http://yout...

Re: NEW! SMW2 Yoshi's Island is "difficult"
Worth working up something for you there too, or do you think you have it down enough on your own for tomorrow?
Key's in the third crate, by the way, so yeah, you do need to do the first half of the crate sequence twice.
Yeah...

EDIT: Nevermind, this isn't necessary. Let us know how you're going about things tomorrow and if some BS comes up while playing, just post about it and one of us'll probably have the answer.

Re: NEW! SMW2 Yoshi's Island is "difficult"
Actually, screw it.
Here's a map of the shortest path through the castle maze in 6-S, ignoring item collection.

So pick how much poison you can handle, I suppose.

Re: Megaman: Day in the Limelight - Robotic revolution practice
I got a brief chance when we got back to record one more attempt to show Guts Man's dodge plan, if you want to use that approach instead. Unfortunately, as you can see in the video, even his computer chose that precise damn fight to chug itself and slow the game which threw me completely out of sort...

Re: NEW! SMW2 Yoshi's Island is "difficult"
Alright. Here's what I've got for you, and yes, the revisits are necessary. Each number represents the next door/pipe you should be using in the sequence. This is a 100% route, so you should eyeball the two keys, the muddy buddies,the arrow lift and the fire melon and work out the fluff in your head...

Re: NEW! SMW2 Yoshi's Island is "difficult"
I'm honestly impressed that post addressed things past the first auto-scroller. That's lunacy enough all its own. I don't know where your sentiments lie after this, raocow, since I obviously haven't seen the video. Have you about had your fill of NSMW2? Do you plan to give the level another go tomor...

Re: NEW! SMW2 Yoshi's Island is "difficult"
Well, raocow, since you aren't returning to the level, I might as well post this.
6-E, "The End...?": http://youtu.be/SY7xdTgiAgA
Nothing to say here. This is a pure platforming assault and your enjoyment of it hinges entirely on what you think of the YI engine.

Re: Megaman: Day in the Limelight - Robotic revolution practice
Actually, since I was magically able to have access to a friend's not-awful computer today, I brought a copy of DitL with me and had some brief fun with a screen recorder that doesn't chug the program in 30 seconds. This is an ugly Wily fight I only put three attempts into because I only had about 1...

Re: Megaman: Day in the Limelight - Robotic revolution practice
Actually, I just replayed the fight myself, and I guess it's been a long time since I wasn't quite on the money comparing it to Normal's strategy. The rhythm that seems to work perfectly for me is: let Wily hit the first platform, cut the next two platforms, let the Wily shot hit the next, cut the n...

Re: Megaman: Day in the Limelight - Robotic revolution practice
raocow, this video might help with strategy for Cut Man's section, since Wily's behavior is unaltered on Normal. It's just damage ratios that fluctuate. It seems trying to jump the capsules is a big dead end. This guy looks to have the pattern down to a science, so hopefully that keeps it from being...

Re: Megaman: Day in the Limelight - Robotic revolution practice
I'm not so sure they have Mega Man. 9 got by on sales due to the novelty (and also it being arguably the best classics title, YEAH I WENT THERE), but 10, even though it was decently solid, sold modestly, and so did X8. Add that to two aborted franchise reboots in MHX and Powered Up and the Blue Bomb...

Re: NEW! SMW2 Yoshi's Island is "difficult"
Yeah but by my math that was played this morning. And also I'm putting the confidence in raocow that it was done in one sitting. I'm wistful like that!
