Re: Klonoa: Door to Phantomile - Forest Dreams

Well, I'm really glad I checked in when I did. I'm so happy to see raocow playing this. Klonoa is an extremely important, formative series for me that doesn't get anywhere near even half the appreciation it deserves. Klonoa is a fairly unique beast in that the series is from an era where while nearl...

Re: Subzero Heroes - Villain Reveal

Well, now that raocow is in the Tower of Biased, I thought it was appropriate to point out a clever thing that is (potentially) staring the player in the face from the very beginning but only now makes sense at this point in the game (spoilered for size): https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RX4ox1FMkDE/maxresdef...

Re: Subzero Heroes - The real game has begun

Coming back from the dead to say raocow, you're in for a treat with this episode. I played it to 100% myself last year and enjoyed the heck out of it, even though there were a few absolutely infuriating levels Roofstop Run, /groan . I know we're already a few videos deep so this is likely already ap...

Re: Iconoclasts - Stop fighting and preaching and getting people riled up just to get what you want.

also the game never says how Polro died but it's theorized he committed suicide for reasons I don't recall. it's not important. It might not be important, and I know it didn't make it into the final cut of the game, but the two demos from the start of this decade actually did have explanations for ...

Re: JUMP 1÷2 - Half a jump is still a jump

I'd like to point out that an ancillary benefit of the timer is to get the player unstuck from a softlock. Softlock oversights can happen, especially in amateur game design, without adequate test play and it requires a non-zero amount of effort on the creator's part to implement an alternative solut...

Re: Mega Man 11 - Gearing Up for the Finale

Wow, look at all that death Blockman inflicted on poor raocow. I was kind of expecting it, though. They present Blockman as if he's the first boss the player should take on, with his level and his basic form being easy enough, but that power gear transformation...needless to say, I wasn't able to po...

Re: JUMP π/2π - Half a jump is still a jump

Personally, I'm too accustomed to Anikiti's secret exits to not try flinging myself down a pit like that immediately. It gets more questionable to me when the level has a large number of pits and the correct one has to be located through a bunch of trial and error rather than observing some kind of ...

Re: Mega Man 10 - The Long Goodbye

I know this makes no sense, but my first time through Megaman 10, I was secretly hoping that Roll was going to be the villain, both as a callback to Protoman in 5 and tying roboenza with the maverick virus in the X series. Her being the first robot we see displaying symptoms set this expectation up ...

Re: Mega Man 10 - The Long Goodbye

Oh man, the irony of watching raocow actively try to avoid the spiked soccer balls, not knowing that the hurt boxes are literally the spikes themselves and not the whole ball, making it really easy to jump on and over them. I say irony because poor raocow's mentioned several times how the hitboxes o...

Re: Mega Man 9 - Retro Reboot

So Wily's kind of a pain to dodge, but he's a lot more manageable if you use Black Hole Bombs or Tornado Blows to erase his projectiles, as raocow demonstrated a bit on the second phase. While it's nice there, depending on the spawn patterns in phase 3, you pretty much NEED to abuse these to keep fr...

Worst thing about the gotcha' on Wily 3 there is when you don't realize that you can put on Jewel Satellite to kill the enemy after it's attached to you, prompting you to try to PERFECTLY line yourself up with the ladder and the spikes on every one of your first several playthroughs of the stage.

Re: Mega Man 9 - Retro Reboot

It's okay to suck against Magmaman, raocow. He was the only robot master I dreaded facing every time I would make an attempt at the Mr. Perfect challenge (this is where you beat the entire game without getting hit). While his weakness kills him quickly, you've gotta' be on point to get under those s...

Re: Super Mario Bros. 3MIX - tragedy

Hey raocow, I don't have any quick and dirty infinite 1-up tricks for you like I used to, but I would say your best bet to amass a decent number of lives would be to go back to the world 0 level that had that SMB3 world 7 fortress level in it (access it from world 6) and do the coin room a few times...

Re: Hyper VI - Let The Good Times Roll

I agree with raocow's observation about difficulty in ROM hacks. I think people who design the beginning of the game as if the player is incredibly rusty/inexperienced may be doing so in order to have a manageable difficulty curve from a design standpoint and/or make the game feel more authentic and...

Re: Mega Man IV - A Rock Ballade of Love

Reviewing the stage, since the game even keeps the weapon you were using equipped on Megaman during the transition from first boss to useless tiny stage, I say it's a one two-bosses stage.

Silly raocow, Mario jumps much higher in SMB3 and can easily make it to the final A-coin in Piped Full of Plants with a running jump. No power-up necessary! Also, the rule for the Venus Fire Traps is that they launch one fireball in world 1 and two fireballs for the rest of the game; however, the de...

Ugh, that's what I get for not reading. I guess the fact that the page is still there doesn't necessarily mean that the download is. Silly me.
