Shovel Knight: Plauge/Shovel of Shadows/Hope - final - TVSVUEIO

[Grounder]

I see they've copied Mega Man right down to the first boss being the hardest...

[Blue]

man that first boss was raocow vs proper spacing

guess this is why he prefers rushdown and high pressure characters in his fighting games

I kind of love that they basically give you the correct setup for Black Knight. It's like the game itself is trying to show raocow what he should have used.

I like how raocow one-shots three bosses in a row and then the one to finally do him in was Tinker Knight's first form.

Guys, guys, I found Plague Knight hiding in the park

[Joseph Staleknight]

And suddenly the rest of the Order falls. And Black Knight.

Gotta say, wasn't expecting raocow to be able to pull off that feat, even with the difficulty he had against Specter Knight and the third-tier bosses. Almost makes me want to try doing those challenges as well.

If you hit Reize with the dashing potion, he jumps back and you hit him again for easy two or three hit combos. But it looks like raocow kept jumping whenever he tried to attack with it. If you're jumping, it no longer hits enemies and you're vulnerable.

[Joseph Staleknight]

Well, those adventurers are something else in challenge mode. Lost track of how many times Mr. Hat bested him on-screen, too. Maybe it's his way of avenging the honor of hats that PK tarnished?

[Grounder]

Goodbye, Plague of Shadows proper.

Thanks for be.

[Ometeotl]

You need to blow him one more time than I thought

[Joseph Staleknight]

And that's it for Plague of Shadows challenges! Today was a short video, but I guess if raocow didn't fool around as much with the Corrupted Essence it would've been much shorter. Protip: never turn your back on the crucible!

Now then, can't wait to see how Shovel Knight's challenges will go!

unfortunately in lieu of the shovel knight challenges I thought I'd mix things up with playing gameboy tetris until I max out the score.

I wonder how they can make the boss refights interesting without the bomb combinations.

Tight time limits and particular relic use, with the occasional armor or shovel upgrade (and tighter time limit to require its mastery).

I recently played them all and had a blast. Oddly, Treasure Knight was one that gave me significant difficulty, mainly because I kept bashing my face into him while rushing to beat the time limit.

Music type A, B, or C?

Quit filling four deep holes with Z blocks!

[Grounder]

going pretty well so far

gj re-adapting to sk rao

[kitikami]

Also congrats on finishing your tetris challenge so quickly

[Bean]

You did that Propeller Dagger challenge fairly well.

raocow's better at simple to control characters than he is complex ones, who'da thunk?

[Joseph Staleknight]

Behold, our beloved Blue Burrower is back!

Anyway, of today's challenges I only managed to beat Extendo Retracto and Dirt Clod Dive, the latter through sheer perseverance. Those other challenges were a bit much, though after watching Tick Tock Tower I'm kicking my shins at just how close I was to the end once.

Also, since Shovel Knight isn't as well versed in alchemy as PK, I'm going to have a little more fun with my post titles from here on out.

not having to learn a new bomb setup every single challange might help with that. No bomb bursts, no random bombs, just a rao, a shovel knight, and some straightforward platforming.

note to self: do not do this secondary title gimmick ever again

I have, no idea, what is going on, with the thread title

The idea was that the computer crashed because you can't be playing Shovel of Hope in Plague of Shadows.

Kinda dumb, but it'll be gone tomorrow.
