Hyper V, the most hyper of Fifths

[haligonian]

I dunno about that option... Letting the viewers vote would usually lead to the hardest, most frustrating route being chosen.

WHICH IS WHY IT SHOULD HAPPEN ;D

idk, they all look hard to me actually.

[Dollop of Mayo]

Okay so I've got this idea for a hack

50 stages
Wind of intermittent strength in all stages
Ceiling no higher than about 3 blocks at any point
"Mid"points 75% through the stages
All bosses are invisible

Or did I just come up with Vip6?

Yes, yes you did.

I can't say I'd think less of raocow if he ultimately did choose not to do one entire path from beginning to end once he makes it through all of these. I mean, this place just goes on forever; I can't honestly imagine the author ever seriously intended the player to make it in one go at this sheer length, let alone difficulty.

[Ashan]

So, what do you guys think is worse? Castle Bowser, or Vip1 Dream Castle?

[Duker]

This castle is just... wow... It's basicly 8 full length levels, but with no midpoint whatsoever. It's on a whole new scale of implausibility for a non-cheating human to complete.

Edit: Even though those 8 levels are split into 4, 2 full levels is still... just no.

[PitaPatPaxton]

I really enjoy these castles. And I didn't like Vip1 so I'd say this castle is better. Btw, door 1 today was AWESOME!

[RealLink]

Will this ever end?

[kilon]

Will this ever end?

spoiler: yes

[Argumentable]

If we'd known ahead of time that it was going to be like this it should've been done just going straight through each room until the end instead of doing the layers

[Oracle of Wuffing]

Eh, I wouldn't worry too much. By now, raocow probably finds wind mechanics to be a... Breeze.

..Not really, the scales have already been made and it's called kaizo.

[Bean]

I like the fact that raocow is doing each room without a savestate, but I wouldn't want to him struggling to do the whole thing in one shot. I mean, I don't see a problem with trying that for a bit if he wants, but it's not like I expect a whole lot of fun or success to come from this.

Besides, there's another world after this anyway. I'd rather see how that looks more than anything once this castle's out of the way. At least you're taking the time to show off every room of the castle. That's awesome.

I was asking which was harder.

[anomaly]

Yeah, the "I'll do a legit run through one path" plan... I think you should just forget about it. It's not fun for the player, or for the viewers.

Just complete each layer, and the castle, and move on.

Oh, sorry. By the looks of it I'd say Hyper V over Vip1 but I'm saying that without actually playing it.

[Kleiner Kokiri]

Because you're using savestates, your skillevel drastically decreased.

You must have realised that.
If not, take another look at the deaths in the candle room:
3:02 thats not even trying
2:50 you killed yourself because you wanted the hit for the flames. Cowardly, since you managed it before with keeping your mushroom.
Many of your deaths involved you "not thinking ahead". Just jumping in a supershell for example.

In short, you've played pretty lazy today.
No problem with that of course. Just not underestimate yourself right now.

That's the same reason that raocow already said "stuff it" to when people tell him to use savestates.

Then you don't realize the difference between checkpoints and cheesing.

That castle is as big as ASMT Charles' castle. And we know he used checkpoints in ASMT run. He also did in MKM2 and so on. Did he go back and replay the entire castle in one go, bosses and all, and film it? No. Don't say he doesn't use what is reasonable to use. The no-states side knows one thing: they know when to stop.

Trying to play the hack for its full value is one thing, but going back to it for no reason whatsoever is a waste of time. Some of the rooms are already frustrating raocow now when he's doing them one by one. Remember, you can't change your path halfway. He's not going to be happy playing for an hour straight on rooms he doesn't need to play again, including one that's probably going to be misery. And the viewers don't want to see that either. The viewers have seen each room, and not that they don't like his plays, but many don't really care about his replay of the exact same thing after just a week. And to show who, exactly? No one said he needs to do this.

Sure, raocow can compromise and say, "I'll put one checkpoint after two rooms", but then it makes the whole endeavor quite pointless. If you go ahead with this, I suggest (though I still don't think it's a good idea) to just take out commentary entirely and fast forward it - this at least makes vids less tedious and repetitive. I think, and I'm not alone, that instead of wasting time, he should save his time, and sanity, and everyone's time and sanity, moving on since he's already played it.

[The Doctor]

^ Or maybe, I dunno, raocow plays his video game however the hell he wants to play it on his show?

[anomaly]

That's like saying this thread should not exist. That excuse doesn't mean anything. I'm not the only one that makes this suggestion.

[AUS]

That's like saying this thread should not exist.

How so?

[RobinLSL]

Ah, the Mario 64 green demon. That is definitely a thing. And you knew about it raocow, that's awesome!

[kilon]

You should have zero problem with such dark levels as long as you look from an angle slightly above the video screen.
I do wonder why it was lighter during chipmunk. Did you do that, raocow?

[Test Pilot Monkey]

Invisible platforms in the dark.

That's just mean.
