Board 8 > It took me almost 22 years but I finally did it...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Never had the patience to do it, today I said fuck it, sat down and sucked it up. Childhood me is in absolute tears right now.

Also my cat snuck into my picture, so bonus cat.

Also I did 94 twice before doing that.

not really a bonus cat but more of an "about to murder my entire family" cat

Have you checked your cat for satan?

Wow. I've been considering getting around to this game.

You have Mario in your name and never played the original Mario RPG? Its a must play. Although unfortunately I feel it wont be as fresh since numerous games since then have reused some of its best ideas its still great.

Ah yes, the classic demon cat summoning ritual, 100 jumps. works every time

She didn't show up until the very end too.

I clicked the topic expecting "I've become a summoner"

But this was good too. Congrats!.

He also has Link and Samus in his name and hasn't played Super Mario RPG. Think on that one.

Was expecting "Beat up that guy who took my hat in grade school" but this is cool.

*rimshot*

Anyhow, We got the fucking shaft with this game in Europe (i.e. we never got it and had to buy a sodding converter/adaptor for the US version, Nintendo forsook us!)

This was me with the N64 coin in donkey kong 64 earlier this month

It was fairly challenge, probably the hardest thing to do in the game, but it certainly wasn't as undoable as my childhood shelf remembered

This was still pretty damn tough tbh. You don't think its hard, and honestly, once you can do 15 of them you literally have all the knowledge and timing you need to do the rest...but its a grind. 100 is a lot and they don't happen fast. The hardest part is getting your brain to shut the fuck up and not freak out. Even things like needing to blink halfway through can start causing your brain to want to explode. You hit around 50 and you feel confident, then you get to 75 and realize your on the home stretch and your brain starts the nerves back up again.

I tried a lot of things to see if I could distract my mind. I tried using going around the face buttons in a circle(A B Y X), I tried alternating buttons, I tried all 4 individually(B is the least comfortable, strangely). I'm kind of curious how many people don't know you can use any button for timed hits in SMRPG. Eventually settled on good old Y(I had some good attempts on A and X though, B sucks).

The sound of my cat getting a late night snack was probably the best distraction for my brain. And I tried a lot of things to shut my brain off. While looking for tips on google, found a bunch of people say they needed Adderall to do it, I believe it. Damn cheaters.

Yeah I really wanted to point out the irony that LinkMarioSamus hasn't played one of the only non-Smash video games I can think of that has Link, Mario, AND Samus in it

I actually have played Super Mario RPG, just never beaten it.

actually nevermind

Also finishing up the game always reminds me that it has one of my favorite credits sequences in gaming.

You could make some money off of this.

He was willing to pay someone 200 bucks to have it down on his cartridge

I was strongly considering practicing to do it to get some money but I didn't have time

I think he changed his mind though, this was a few years ago

Counting was death at first.

As I got more comfortable it was easier to do.

Admittedly I stopped counting at 90 and just made sure to think happy thoughts and breathe.

That said, you hit a point where you know the timing so well that you know when you missed, even if its by a single frame.

When you first start you have no idea why it isnt working.

So you can definitely do it without counting(I definitely had some longer attempts where I either wasn't counting or lost count).

A lot of internet strats said to rollover counts at 30 or 20s or 10s, I found the rollover mentally distracting.
