Some of the new stuff was only just released today but half of it was in an early access release of the DLC so I can explain that stuff at least.

Two of the new characters are known. Nocturna has cutscenes in the story mode. She starts with one of the new weapons, the cutlass, and can turn into a bat form. In bat form she flies, has a 4-damage attack and can drain health every 5 kills, but can't use any items, including shovels.

The other character is Diamond, who can move and attack diagonally. As a result he can't use diagonal inputs for items and spells. Bombs are the Up/Down input, and one item can be used on Left/Right. Some weapons are removed on account of diagonal attacks, too.

Two other characters are new today but I haven't played yet to see what they do

The fifth zone adds electrical wires on the floor, which power up zombie enemies that stand on them and also give you a chain lightning effect on attacks if you stand on them. When playing as Nocturna these wires and enemies from zone 5 can appear in earlier zones.

A number of new weapons. the harp, which works somewhat like Melody or the Lute but not exactly the same. Axe is like a mix between Broadsword and Rapier. Cutlass has two range and protects you from damage if you're dealing damage on the same turn. Warhammer is broadsword and longsword combined. Staff fires a beam whenever you attack an adjacent enemy.

can someone who understands mario 64 explain whats happening here, this has happened to me like 50 times on my last playthrough and I never remember it happening before

The short version is that when those platforms are tilted just right, parts of them are considered ceilings. In the game's code, a ceiling's collision box is impassable and extends upward into infinity until a floor above it cancels it out.

The long version is in these two videos:

Never been a better time to get into Necrodancer, the DLC is complete as of today and the game is 80% off on Steam

It's a very very good game

It's these weird ranges, +2 if you had 1-4 skill ups relating to that attribute, +3 for 5-7, +4 for 8-9, +5 for 10 or more.

Leveling up non-major/minor skills isn't supposed to increase your level up progress, but if you have already reached full level up progress it will tell you every time you gain any skill, not just major/minor. Maybe you just missed the message on the previous major/minor skill increase.

Did you figure out how the multipliers work for leveling up? I forget if it's the same as Oblivion since I haven't touched that game in almost a decade.

I think recent games just won't let you do it at all and force you to pick something else to do

In early games I believe it was like NBIceman says

Apparently they're friends and the guy was trying to clown on the reactions Twitch chat usually has to "glitchless" runs due to the definitions of what constitutes a "glitch"


He sure as fuck ran that joke into the ground though

What are they supposed to do, just end the run and have dead air for however long until the next run is scheduled to start?

it's like if in a regular run the runner would go "uh yeah this part is way too hard" and they get some other runner to do it. i get it, these runs are mostly for fun, but i still like for them to be at least somewhat legit.

I'm pretty sure that exact thing has been done before. Also had difficulty levels lowered mid-run, and other cases before HGSS where a backup save was loaded.

If you're looking for "serious" run attempts only, start watching runners' personal streams. This is an exhibition, not a competition.

Capcom mostly stays hands-off, yeah. Though recently they took down a bunch of translated Ace Attorney videos

In the SFxMM case the developer actually directly pitched it to Capcom people at EVO so that's a little bit different at least

Kinda weird that this doesn't even have all the bosses and weapons from the featured games yet, but they put in two different Smash Bros. attacks

Brothers was a good one not on that list

The lack of 4 face buttons ironically makes the controls better in ZM and Fusion. Run button no longer exists, and selecting ammo is greatly simplified. Wall jumping is also more intuitive.

Hammer actually was going to be a playable DaNasty analogue in Dawn of Sorrow's Julius Mode (to match with Yoko Belnades and Arikado) but they either ran out of time and had to cut it or couldn't figure out a way to do it well.

This show was based on a script from several years ago that had cut Grant out for the sake of time, seems likely he didn't make it back in, though with 8 episodes next season they might find a way.

How far through the level was the SMB2 runner when they paused and fixed?

As soon as he reached the character select for 4-1, the other two paused. Then he quickly used the warp in 1-3 to get to the character select screen for 4-1 and they unpaused

the lead was a bit bigger before

The officials were not letting them start until a full minute passed. You could hear them counting down when it was a team's turn to start again

http://i.imgur.com/k0v0z3q.gif

well Alucard is by far the most interesting character in the series so it's definitely smart to use a game that features him

but also CV3 is chronologically pretty early in the series so it's a decent starting point that they could eventually build on with later series based on other games

some story elements that originated from SOTN actually do come into play, but you'll be able to understand them right away

I expected they would stop when he got to a warp-able level.

I'd say if you have no CV experience you should wait until season 2 comes out. This was literally all setup, difficult to appreciate without already having some knowledge.

Pretty neat how all 3 of them were using different powerup states up until the one guy got hit

Show beated

I feel like this could have been shortened to 3 episodes. The last big fight scene is good. There are some other scenes with animation goofiness though. No Grant, as expected, though I feel like one character was supposed to be a sort of nod to him.

They did announce today that season 2 will have eight episodes. I kinda wonder what they're gonna do with all those. Since this was all setup they were able to find enough stuff for the characters to do, introduce their circumstances and personalities, etc. but once they're at the castle I wonder what else they're going to have left.

Never forget that Legends implies that Trevor is the child of Sonia and Alucard

Though Little Samson is probably known best for its outrageous aftermarket prices, even more than any of the merits of the actual game.

OOT and WW are among the most popular speedruns ever.

I don't get it, either.

And once you get over that initial hand to hand hump of getting their fatigue down to zero you can just constantly knock them down, the battle is basically over at that point.

The expansions do overhaul the Journal in a really useful way so if you find it difficult to use, consider installing those and then adding those mods.

Little Samson perhaps

http://i.imgur.com/k0v0z3q.gif

if you're on PC there are some bugfix patches you should get. Morrowind Code Patch and Morrowind Patch Project. And if you have the expansions activated you should get Delayed Dark Brotherhood Attacks and the Solstheim Rumor Fix. Otherwise expansion-related content appears way too quickly and imbalances the game

I've had Downwell on my phone for probably half a year and have only reached the boss like ten times. Bought it on Steam today and beat it on my third try. Just goes to show how important good controls are

So I know I just said I hate when they say a game is poorly programmed

Donkey Kong 64 is a game where this fact is evident even to a casual observer though, so it's okay

I kind of hate that the whole marathon is done under the pretense of charity. that's a crappy thing to say but sometimes you just want an awesome show.

hey guys save the frames

This is why I like Best of NES, SNES Super Stars, 1CC Marathon, Arcade Superplay Expo, etc

oh actually Arcade Superplay was for charity, but it's still unknown enough to not be constantly inundated by cut-and-paste platitudes

Commentary is mostly fine, the only thing I get tight about is when they say that a game is poorly programmed. Like dude, it took you guys 10 years to find this skip, clearly the programmers did a pretty good job preventing it

Donation comments on the other hand are absolutely horrid and I would actually pay 50 dollars for an alternate audio stream that didn't read them

So, about those WRs . . . turns out their timer was running slow for every game before Monkey Ball. This is why so many runners were surprised by their times. Odds are none of the WRs so far are valid, the timer was losing almost one second per minute.

I wouldn't expect this version of Star Fox 2 to be any different than the prototype ROM. Not saying it definitely won't be, but I'm not counting on it.

the game was completely finished and submitted to Nintendo, with additional features and polish not seen in the prototypes we have. Dylan Cuthbert has said so for years. Why would it not be the finished version?

Also, the prototypes are the JP version and it's only through fan patches that we have English dialogue, so it's 100% not gonna be identical to the prototypes
