Man the music you used during vile is absolutely majestic

Just to be clear: Since this fight is optional, I did NOT continue the run with the exp. gained here. Check and compare Mario's HP values in this and the next battle once it releases to see for yourselves - they haven't changed despite him leveling up here.

And now "YOULOOS" has lost!

Wt fucking that 100hits men nathalia it's crazy

Hammer Bros. is an early enough fight that a lot of rules for a challenge wouldn't be relevant. In this case, No Items would barely do anything about the (obviously unneeded) Honey Syrup, No Deaths is redundant with only 1 party member, and people attempt this at Low Level. I actually take this as far as possible in my own run, though I end up segmenting because of luck far enough into a segment. What do I do? Here's a list: -No Damage -Level 1 -No Jump -Simultaneous KO of both HBs That last one is especially important because not only is it precise, but the splash from sweetspotted physical attacks can actually Miss because of luck. It's where I ended up video editing segmenting the involved video, because I didn't want to go through the entirety of Mushroom Way just to have ANYTHING in the entire fight go wrong. It doesn't help that HBs have Evade (10 in the original, 12.5 on Switch), so Misses are fully realistic, though ones that only Miss the direct target stop timing involvement, mercifully in this case including the splash. It just means 3 more Perfect Blocks. The whole venture is worth it, however, because of absolutely convenient math. With HBs have 13 Physical DEF, Mario deals 7 damage default, which doubles to 14 with sweetspot timing. The splash is 2/5 of the default damage, so the other HB takes 2 damage. 3 hits to each HB would result in 48 damage to both, and that leaves each of them with...2 HP. It's just amazing what can be done with math in a game nearly 3 decades old, and all that's needed is 19 sweetspot timings. And the clincher is that if HBs were to have 63 or 64 HP (from, say, a theoretical Hard Mode boost of 25% extra HP rounding up), the double KO would STILL get to happen, with 1 extra attack needed when the Evade stat is admittedly a problem for a fight where spell healing isn't even around. The developers weren't even afraid to change up Evade values as a later enemy, Birdy, has far more Evade than they did in the original. Nerfing their Physical Evade isn't going to keep people from preferring Jump because FP sharing isn't even prohibitive at this point. I also tried a No Damage Run of the HBs without Jumping in the original, but Hammer Time has asinine timing there, not helped by its randomness in the timing. It was a no go. Overall, the fight is improved.

Hiya. I see you're undertaking a Self Imposed Challenge with Super Mario RPG Switch. I have been doing that since its release with my own run, which is titled Super Mario RPG Switch Restricted Weapons/No Deaths Run if you're interested in looking through that. I'm obviously involving different rules with that, though I can be glad I have completed a similar run of the original in its own difficulty, even if I did have to drop the Restricted Weapons part specifically for Bowyer there (no such problem here in the Switch version thanks to Ally Buffs, despite how happy Bowyer got with Static E in my recording), and I have an intended ban for Crystallines only for that to be dropped for 3 fights in the original, and I'm expecting to drop it for 2 of those fights as well despite their shenanigans being nerfed. I don't have minimum or even pseudo-minimum Levels on either version, but I do avoid getting too crazy with Level Ups. Oh yeah, and I'll miss Bowser's Physical DEF Ally Buff being pointless here. But undoubtedly, you'll be using Clown Car Barrage here and there. I do note that you don't have restrictions on things like Jump Specials. It's worth mentioning that I do have No Damage up to Croco (and I do Levels 1/2 for that fight at that), and I'm prohibiting my usage of Jump Specials in the Switch version, at the very least before postgame which is going to be self-explanatory, but the point is that I didn't use them to speed up any of the first 3 boss fights. Even then, considering what restrictions you're already involving here, I can buy the tedium reduction that would help speed things along with bosses who are already without any all-targeting spells. I would simply be happy if consistency against Birdo's attacks after her first single shot would end up being shown if it means showing that No Damage Running her would be possible at ANY Level just by wiping Eggberts, and that would be good because I like her concept. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if she drops against Super Jump. Am I to assume that you use the Super Suit as well? I guess you'll display as much. Item usage is allowed on my run before certain fights when working with the Mallow/Bowser team gets nightmarish otherwise, but I do opt to track item usage to encourage myself to avoid getting too crazy with items before I forget why I would restrict Bracers and Crystallines specifically. With my restrictions such as Mallow/Bowser default with discretionary mid-battle switching from that feature being new, I'm needing item aid, but significantly less restriction, especially when Peach is significantly more free and her Magic DEF Ally Buff is also a thing here (hi, Culex), would inevitably reduce necessity so heavily. And, of course, No Deaths speaks for itself, and there's a reason it's my favorite rule here. I had managed and recorded with it in Ultima: Quest of the Avatar for NES as well as Secret of Evermore for SNES, both with added restrictions, and I would be similarly managing it for LostMagic for the Nintendo DS if I were to get around to that again. The whole notion of our people being kept safe is innately involving empathy, which speaks for itself. There's also the notion of seeing if the game avoids cheap design like instant death attacks that can't be addressed in an acceptable manner. So yeah, I approve. At any rate, happy hunting with the No Blockable Damage ventures.

i mean shoulndt have used turbo when there was not inmediate danger of loosing the position

Some more info on the restrictions: -No damage (*from blockable attacks): The remake is kind enough to let you know exactly which moves can be perfectly blocked, resulting in 0 damage. Of course, there are many moves, usually party-wide, that can't be blocked (outside of certain items and the Spare-Us-All triple move, which isn't available frequently), so a complete no damage-run is out of the question. However, the fact that a lot of moves still do damage, and quite a lot at that with the pseudo-low-level rule in place, makes this quite a thrilling challenge. Keep an eye out for my party's HP values and you'll see why. -No items (in battle): Self-explanatory, but the impact this has is huge. Items can do so much in this game - heal your party, replenish your flower points, buff party members, reliably damage enemies...the list goes on. I really doubted if I could pull this one off. The only exceptions to this rule the Earlier Times-item which lets you redo a fight without watching any cutscenes before the fight - a convenient tool I'm making an exception for here for my own sanity (though I only started using it late in the run...). -No deaths: Paired with the no items and pseudo-low-level rules, this is another factor making everything much more intense. No party member is allowed to lose all HP in a fight, so keeping everyone alive becomes a priority and is the reason for some serious strategizing. -Pseudo-low-level: This takes a few sentences to explain. Low-level in this game is usually understood as only gaining the minimum amount of experience possible. For around a third of the run, this means only getting experience from obligatory fights. However, after a certain point, the Lucky Jewel and Lucky Hammer items allow players to not gain any experience at all - if you get lucky at the end of each battle and actually fail the "Where's Yoshi?" minigame. I'm NOT using the Lucky Jewel on bosses, which is why this is not a low-level run in the strict sense, but rather a pseudo-low-level run. I still avoid getting experience from every encounter other than a boss (and have to use the Lucky Jewel in these cases). My reasoning is as follows: Besting all bosses while taking no damage from their blockable attacks is already quite difficult, and I really didn't want to gamble on a 1/6 chance not to gain any experience for every fight after the first third of the run. It would've been infuriating, especially with how I like to create multiple takes for many bosses since I want them to use at least some variety of attacks to show off some dodges. My other reason also became apparent later in the run - it just isn't possible to survive certain attacks with all of the above restrictions intact if you stop leveling after a certain point. That's why I'm fine with getting more experience than in a traditional low-level run, but still keeping overall low levels for the whole party.

that's bs. You spin attacked at it and yet... xD

Thats on you buddy

Bet

I've been part of dual's in this game before

Imagine this your first time almost getting first place 😭

W

Wth lmao

F-zero Always stay alert before goal What a great lesson

This is bullshit I have beaten him in 16 seconds and only get s rank I’m pissed to go through 5 minutes of this mini game before the fight only to have a chance of 20 Seconds to get the tank

I just wish there was an f-zero 99 rage compilation.

Moves: Shown

Well played! That was super close race

Man... I love this game... It brings back so many good memories... 💙❤️ vs 💜

Oh huh, another rare case of "wait thats me!" I usually dont run goose but seeing you get that KO hurt me haha, still deserved tho

Nah. It was absolutely deserved.

Very impressive.... No armors ... Just his base form

Hell yeah, THAT'S how you win! 100% deserved that win

I thought that first KO was bad If I was that guy at the end I would’ve thrown my controller at the wall

You absolutely did deserve that win.

A fellow No More Heroes fan yeah? I've seen you on the track before. Nice racing!

Isn't that the Omega theme?

The algorythm sure does work in mysterious ways. The fight reminds me somewhat of fighting Pandora and Prometheus in ZX, except those two share the same health bar. WP.

Bro. That's Zero from mega man X5.

What game?

Zero go to the future to zx and x 5

This is a case of a character being stronger in gameplay than in cutscenes. X doing a charge shot on Vile by himself: NOT A CHARGE SHOT! *completely wrecked* X and Zero doing a charge shot together: *Vile just negates it completely*

This boss fight was harder then sigma for me. X was mad annoying being the last one to kill

.. He's the messiah now Edit: *realizes this is the exact same pattern gunvolt would later intergrate into their desperation attacks* Objective met: _kill x first_

Which game is this?!? X6 ?

Apparently, the YT algorithm has recently drawn quite some people to this rather old video. If you somehow wound up here and enjoyed what you've seen: Thank you! Since this video has received much more attention than most of my challenge runs of Maverick Hunter X, I invite you to be my guest and watch them if you enjoy that sort of thing: Vile run (no damage): czcams.com/play/PLFmsBjD8BmmrgpcWijThJAW_gK2g2UPAH.html X run (no damage, minimalist): czcams.com/play/PLFmsBjD8BmmpfM7UkJEQzFrEJ00m57cJG.html Kirby X run: czcams.com/play/PLFmsBjD8Bmmoj3IZRHdTSoEIXGPyLalLI.html

Here I am got recommended by CZcams Fun Fact: Zero's Divekick, Giga Attack, and Guard moves are inspired from Megaman X2 and Megaman X8. - Zero's Divekick is inspired by Enkoukyaku from Megaman X8, A divekick pattern attack used when Zero equip with K Knuckles. = Giga Attack is inspired by variant "Giga Attacks" from Megaman X2, and X4 - X8. To me, the elemental giga attacs resembles with Bakuenjin from Megaman X7 but with new pattern up and down rising flames pillar. - and lastly, The Guard pattern is used in Megaman X2 where Zero blocking X's attacks if you failed collect all Zero Parts from X-Hunters

OH GOD

This remake series would've been so much more successful if it wasn't locked to the psp, there could've been a real treat if we got more perspective games.

I appreciate Cannonball Hard Revenge here.

Toe attacker!

That voice clip of X saying "Zero, I'm sorry..." might as well have gone unused because of how rare it is to kill him first.

Seeing this kind of makes me wish they went a bit further. Inafune didn't want Zero to be playable in X1 purely for the reasoning of him being "too obvious and boring", but I would have LOVED to get three different campaigns, hear the dialogue from Zero to these guys about how a Hunter of his caliber didn't decide to wise up and join Sigma since he was like them, but Zero wouldn't ever be like them (He wouldn't know the origins, obviously).

Those red snails bring the gift of rage for the holidays. I miss those antlers, those snails still suck though. I suffer hilariously tragic crash outs daily, myself.

Pretty cool that this is an option, but the use cases where it'd come in handy are quite limited.

Wild run.

Someone will one day explain to me why the hell the slugs can go faster off of a boost than you do. Because in real life, that scenario cannot help, unless the slugs are actually the fastest cars in the game, and they're just cruising on the the track during the races...

I'd play these games if it were not for the cliche looking anime art ugh. The backgrounds look nice though and the attacks effects as well as the sound effects but the art and character design is not my cup of eggnog.
