Smash, then Zelda.

Although in both cases, its mostly just that both series have games in my top 5. I haven't kept up with the franchise (the last nintendo systems I owned were the Wii and the 3ds).

Where I came up, it was

But they don't care 'cause they're eating underwear

Also, anyone know the name of the actual song?

I don't think i've ever heard it before, but wiki says it goes by different names

"Arabian riff", also known as "The Streets of Cairo", "The Poor Little Country Maid", and "the snake charmer song", is a well-known melody, published in various forms in the nineteenth century.[1] Alternate titles for children's songs using this melody include "The Girls in France" and "The Southern Part of France".[2][3]

PMarth2002

$500 is too low for any shot at death, and i've personally witnessed and rolled dice rolls that would result in death with those odds.

10k, 5% chance of death is tempting, but I play way too much D&D. I've seen how often those natural 1s come up.

100k, 15% chance of death is extremely tempting, as 100k is life changing money.

60/40 is unacceptable odds when death is on the line, even for 1 million.

Those middle options are tempting but i think i'll pass. I think the risk i'm willing to accept is is 1 million at 5% odds, and 10 million at 15%. Maybe 10/20% at those reward levels.

So, yeah, all defense and still cant block 40+ damage a round. Bomb saved me in the end, but very next fight was against the Shadow with 999 and does less damage the more you do to it, which is almost nothing with this one, so I was taking massive damage in that one too, with all protection.

I have to be missing something because this game is fn ruthless to me, and Im on zero Ascension, not 10+

that fight in the image is freaking brutal, those guys ramp up faster than almost every other enemy in the game. i almost always wind up skipping it. You can't afford to try and tank against those guys, you need to do as much damage as possible, as fast as possible.

^ Is that the red bastard with the big sword that gets stronger each time I use a skill? Yeah, when I have a Skill-based run going, I always end up fighting this guy. Or when I have a Lightning build going I run into that three-mob Elite fight with the ones that look like crystals.

Whatever build I'm going for, the game throws me the counter, lol. Of course this isn't true, I'm just terrible, so it feels that way. Like the run I have going right now [The one I wrote about last night, I went to sleep after the first floor, so I'm still on that run], I ran into the Red bastard, and all I had was Skill cards, so every card I played make him gain strength.

Yeah that's him. Well, minus the sword, not sure who you're thinking of with that, the act 2 boss, the champ?. Generally a bad idea to prioritize skills until you've grabbed some decent attacks.

Defense first, always. Defend, defend, defend. Be patient. It's so enticing to throw out those attacks, but you aren't gonna win if you are dead. Even if a 5 defense card blocks 1 damage total, it's worth it. I was playing way too aggressive and saying "i'd rather take 2 damage and attack for 12 instead of block the 2 damage" and it just wasn't working in the deeper runs. My first potential victory failed by 3 hit points, the final boss of the game had 20 health. If I had played just one more defensive card that run I would have won.

Some fights hard counter this strategy, and the enemies will out scale you if you try this. The gremlin nob elite fight in chapter 1 for example.

I'll have to record me playing soon so I can upload it and you can tell me all the things I'm doing wrong, lol. It's not so much I don't know what cards to look out for, it's mostly getting those cards, and cracking down and figuring out the patterns of the mobs. Like if there are 3 of them, which one is going to hit hard on turn 3, for example.

enemy patterns are partially random and partially conditional. enemies generally will have some combinations of weaker attacks, stronger attacks, and some sort of buff/debuff to use. They'll generally do not use the stronger attacks or buff/debuff more than two turns in a row (and some buffs are never used consecutively, or are only once per fight), and the weaker attacks three times in a row, and some attacks will go off only on certain turns.

You want your deck lean and mean. You want to take out the starter cards if you can hit the shop at the right timing. Usually around 15 cards is about right but people can correct me on that.

the other thing is try to take on an elite or two. The artifacts they can give boost you up before a final boss. I use to ignore them but to get deep you need as many artifacts as you can get!

No idea how garoshi manages to do it, i've never had a winning deck less than 22 or 23 cards. My decks tend to fall between 25-30 cards. I tend to aim for 2-3 elites per act, sometimes four if I've got a super strong deck or a really solid path with good branches. in addition to the relic, elites also give you more gold and a higher chance for a rare card.

^ agreed on the list of cards. If you find biased cognition, you'll also want to pick up a source of artifact or orange pellets. Creative AI is a ton of fun when it gets going, but its a too expensive and slow for most hallway fights, but against bosses, it can lead to absolutely ridiculous scaling.

I'd also add blasphemy to the list of premium watcher cards. The side effect sounds scary, but you can do a shit ton of damage in one turn with it, and the upgraded version retains, so you don't need to worry about it clogging up your deck. Also, personally, I'm a big fan of battle hymn, but from what i've seen of garoshi's runs, he's got a faster playstyle than I do.

I can post some screenshots of some of my A20 watcher and defect wins if you want.
