Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Rob-Omb's Quest
-Yo raocow, if you want to do the Bros. attacks at full speed, switch to Mode 3 for the lower BP cost. If you want to just learn the attack, switch to Mode 1. Stop using Mode 2.
-Also, you should really use your Bros Attacks more often, even on these regular enemies. Just trust me on this.
Whenever I choose to raise my stats, I personally tend to always aim for these goals:
-Make the bros. as even as possible. I know each bro has their own strengths, but I hate weaknesses. I like keeping them as similar as possible. Especially in speed.
-Next, have a bro's individual stats as smooth as possible. It isn't, but, well...
-As for individual stats, I like raising BP first (Bros. Attacks as often as possible!), then speed(see above), then Stache, since its a combo of your Luck and Charisma/Charm stats.
Today's boss has a pro strategy to deal with him and his pillars lickity split, but that option wasn't available to rao.

Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Rob-Omb's Quest
I have to agree. I know this sounds real shitty but I come here to see raocow wrestle with RPG mechanics and instead he mainly seems to wrestle with the controls.
Huh, would you believe that I had trouble with the same stuff (finding the water pipe and the spirit catching) as raocow when I was a wee lad> Especially the spirit catching. It really feels like the minigame is more RNG-based then the devs intended, depending a lot on how many spirits decide to spawn two spins rather than one from where you are standing.

While it's use is like never called upon, Mario and Luigi can slowly walk around while in their totem pole.
A thousand times yes. I focus on BP in the early game.Chirei wrote: BP is honestly as good as a stat for damage as pow, since you're barely even getting half of the 25 BP a Syrup recovers. You also get very little of it on levelup, so even +1 is a big deal for most of the game.
And mid game. AND end game. Not post game though (since there isn't one)

Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Rob-Omb's Quest
You don't need to keep pushing him to do this, it's not the objectively correct way to play. I personally almost never use bros attacks outside of boss fights unless there's a particularly tanky enemy, and nothing he's encountered yet has been like that.
If you're trying to fast track him to unlocked advanced bros attacks, you don't need to. He'll stumble across it naturally and also they're not really that important either.
Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Rob-Omb's Quest
I think you need to either get a bigger d-pad or play with the arrow keys, instead, then.

Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Rob-Omb's Quest
I just finished the game yesterday, hadn't played it for years and yeah, I mainly just used bros attacks on bosses and that (mainly mode 1 at that, started using mode 3 very late into the game). I was using them on some normal enemies
until I learned that some of them had ways to get them to run away, but then I think you maybe don't get XP from enemies who run away? I could be wrong on that, didn't really look into it, never had much of a problem with being underlevelled or anything. Basically thinking of Chomp Bros and Clumph.
Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Rob-Omb's Quest
Yeah... I'm tryin to fast track him to the Advanced Bros. Attacks. I can usually unlock Advanced Bounce Bros. by today's boss. Which is good because that's the only time that useless move is the best option! That and maybe the Wiggler boss.
Don't worry, I told myself not to push this more than twice. I just didn't want a repeat of Lucahjin's LP, cause I don't think she even unlocked them all.

Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Rob-Omb's Quest
Bros. attacks cannot make enemies flee. The one's you mentioned fled for different reasons. Chomp Bros. because you killed their pet, and Clumph because you set his hair on fire.

Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Rob-Omb's Quest
That's why I said I was using bros attacks until I learned that.

i was browsing the yt comments today during the speed up section and they were making it sound like raocow had a really hard time with this boss. then he beat it with little sweat. amazing, he didn't catch on to the fight "gimmick" if you can call it that. didn't matter in the end because he still did it rather quickly.
this might fall on deaf ears, but I do think investing in a level of HP every now and again wouldn't go amiss since you're still getting hit by a fair number of attacks on the regular. though, you do have plenty of mushrooms and are willing to use them, so maybe things will work out if we keep like this.
Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Rob-Omb's Quest
I actually do not know for sure if higher modes increase the damage, but if it is, I assume that playing just on Mode 2 already is already like a few extra levels worth of damage over what kiddy me was doing.

Don't know why, but Hoohooros is one of my favourite boss fights in the game.

Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Rob-Omb's Quest
Whilst i would like to see raocow spread his bonus points a bit more evenly (like he did with that BP at the end), i gotta admit it is funny that he's going all in into POW.
Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Rob-Omb's Quest
It's kind of like Mega Man on the fly. You learn the tells and exploit them, some being easier than others. Definitely have to pay attention to avoid most of them. The boss fight went well today because you stumbled upon hitting the opposite pillar first, thus exposing the boss when you took out the pillar he was hiding under. You are good at the Splash Bros. move, so that'll help out a bit!
Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Rob-Omb's Quest
So out of the 5 games so far, which one is your favorite, you guys? Mine has to be Dream Team.
I wonder when #6 for the Switch will be announced...

Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Rob-Omb's Quest
I don't even think he realized this pattern by the end, he just kept messing up the target selection and choosing the other pillar by accident a la Mr Magoo.
The GBA version of SS is definitely my favorite of the series. I don't find the writing near as good in any of the subsequent games, but I like the gameplay which keeps me going. I also find the follower characters in subsequent games annoying. They seem to only exist to respond to NPCs for a story that isn't super interesting, but SS proved the protagonists going "yes," "no," and "gibberish you can infer the meaning of from the context" is enough for Mario and Luigi's dialogue. I don't like the suitcase guy or Starlow at all, and I wish they just weren't there.
