Oh yeah. That annoyed me too back then as well. I didn't say anything at the time though.

Believe it or not it keeps getting better. It may sound insane to say that playing as both characters and their hard modes keeps adding more, but while there is some overlap it genuinely does just keep escalating in unpredictable ways.

Also, I used to be really averse to Endless Mode, but I ended up getting hooked on it - it has (at least) 10 unique bosses and dozens of minibosses of its own, with a fantastic rhythm and flow to it that's wholly distinct from the story mode.

If I have any criticism of the game, it's that it made me want to hate bunnies. Fuck Wahhints.

raocow's doing a better job showing off all the weapons than anyone else I've seen to be honest, and shows plenty of weapon awareness when it's actually needed. There's always 50 different ways to handle each mission, and I know you might've found a more efficient way for some of them because you played more, but getting a star on every level within ~5 tries is way faster than other players I've seen and there's not much reason to complain!

One thing you gotta do for the next boss, either for the initial run or the gold star run:

Stand directly underneath the boss as it dies.



Trust me, it's worth it.

So a thing you may have forgotten from your older runs: When you have Remote as one of Boki's weapons, you can set off the explosive by using a kick (or rather, the kick button is also the "detonate Remote" button).

This is pretty useful to keep in mind on levels where Remote is one of your main weapons.

I was wondering how long it would take for raocow to get a "close enough". That's such a nice touch, thank you for that!

Gotta admit that seeing FINAL in every video title spooks me for a minute every time.

Maybe you could call it "Copy Kitty FULL"?

In the Yolomacho fight, if you shoot upwards immediately as the stage starts, you can destroy the target before it fuses and get Typhoon. I find it makes destroying the first missile a lot easier, and you can also respond to the boss' uppercuts with one of your own.

Also worth noting, oil drains your air meter a lot faster than water does.

Mr. the Cow: the mumbling noise you were hearing is coming from the Exchikkes. That got added a few updates back.

The transition to the factory zone after the World 2 boss is a small, simple thing, but it is such a cool effect.

The no damage runs are a nice balance to the typical high-energy CopyKitty-cow. Like raocow said in one of the video tags, it can be tiring to be that happy, so having the breaks to focus on gameplay between is good for keeping everything fresh, especially with the videos running a bit longer than the traditional Copy Kitty video.

The introduction of Chemical was the point my eyes were opened to the power and usage of Solo weapons. Prior to that I avoided them like booby prizes that sabotaged the precious triple super shot.

Yeah, generally, if the game gives you a solo weapon, then it's the one to use, aside from maybe whip and thyphoon.

Whip is situational, usually I find myself using it up rapidly for the sake of using it. Typhoon is fantastic for casual runs and awful for Star runs.

I asked for 5 levels and you gave us 6. I knew you couldn't resist.

I find it useful to start this fight by jumping on the boss repeatedly while shooting him, at least until he gets up too high for that to work.

The important point is that his lasers can't hit you if you're bouncing on his head.

Wasn't there a way to cycle through weapons without pausing the game?

And were some weapon combos changed since last time? I'm surprised we are still seeing new ones. And I think regular lightning wasn't as wide as last time.

Finally, what was the combo for the fire dragon rao accidentally summoned last time?

Yes, it's an option in the settings. I've mentioned it multiple times in the Youtube comments and here, hoping raocow would adopt it as I feel it suits his play style more by an order of magnitude.

Pretty sure many of them were fleshed out, especially the Quick+Lightning ones. Savant's equation was no lie. There are

175

weapons just for Boki, and that's not including Solo/Boss/Summon weapons of all kinds, the Boki Beam, Kick, or any of Savant's weapons.

Already mentioned in the thread -

Force + Explode + Tornado = Summon Dragon

The number of different weapons/powerups really is pretty staggering. I don't know how many there are precisely if you count all the combinations, solo weapons, boss-exclusive weapons, the flame and freeze talismans that can be layered over any other weapon, and driveable enemies like the Virs.

I am fairly certain there are

300 or more

total possible powers, not counting cosmetic variations on the same power (for instance, there are several different varieties of the Whip power... functionally identical but their looks differ depending on what enemy you got them from). And that's a conservative estimate on my part, because even as I type this I'm remembering more and more powers that exist.

Oh yeah, I definitely wasn't counting Virs' weapons, meta-weapons (Flame, Freeze) or weapon variations (standard remote vs carrot remote). There's a lot.
