I finished my Pokémon Low-Level challenge. I got bored with it, so I cleared the Elite Four by using save states between the fights.
About 80% of my attempts didn't even get passed Absol, and I have better things to do than playing fucking Pokémon. Like playing fucking Pokémon hacks.

Here are the save files in case some of you want to screw around with them :

What I cut off from the last video, because it's only me trying to buff Minun :

The beginning of the fight against Wallace is kinda boring, as I spend 11 minutes making Wailord run out of PP.

There's a part I cut because I was away from the computer so the game stayed doing nothing.

Getting Silent Assassin rating on every level of every Hitman game apart from the first one which i still haven't played.

Getting Grand Master on every level of Tenchu: Stealth Assassins.

The most satisfying achievement has to be completing Stuntman on ps2. Me and 4 of my mates were all stuck on the last level and i was the first to do it. I still think it's the ultimate just one more go game.

Oh and getting the last big poe on OOT and then going to collect tht last bottle..good times.

I love driving the Lamborghini underneath the semis. Did you prefer the original or Ignition?

Ignition? how have i not heard of this? right..i'm gonna have to track this down.
What did you think of it?

I haven't played the original myself, but I have Ignition for the 360, and I enjoyed it. Kind of short, but overall it was just what I wanted. Fun and entertaining. Plus, the trailers you unlock for the movies you make are pretty damn funny.

The original was absolutely unforgiving, with virtually no r oom for error. Ignition is far more forgiving, but still a hell of a challenge. My only gripes about Ignition are that you can't use the right analog for the throttle, and the camera angles used in the replays make no sense whatsoever. The replays in the original were perfect, I don't know how or why they screwed them up.

How is that possible in Blood Money, doesn't first tutorial level require you to use a human shield to shoot up a room full of drug dealers, which freaks out all the chicks working in the drug factory? Isn't getting Silent Assassin in that first level impossible because of the forced tutorials, or does the first level not count? Confused

*edit*

I preferred to get mass murderer on every level. Twisted Evil

Death of a showman is a training level, the first level is a vintage year. It really bugged me at first not being able to do DOAS without being made, but i got over it.

The hardest and most frustrating level to get SA on was Hidden Valley in Hitman 2...oh and the last level of Hitman 2 doesn't count either as it doesn't rate you.

I thoroughly enjoyed chasing after the clown and gunning him down in the hallway with a shotgun during that Witness Protection level BM.

Oh yeah tht level's great, it has the garden shears in it..it's tricky to do, but you can sneak up behind people with them and pop em right down into the top of their skull..dressed as the clown of course, just to make it all the more sinister!

Most of the time, you have no more than 3 seconds over the absolute best time (on one level it's like 0,2 seconds) to get 100 points and a S rank. No idea how the fuck I could get 145.
Either the creators didn't see a huge shortcut or they made the ranking extremely lenient on that one level.

Or maybe it just bugged. I got 2945 points once, though that was on a bonus level.

MariAri, a doujin game based on Wario's Woods. A Sleepwalker type puzzle game.

I really want to beat SMW so I can post the screenshot in here but Larry's Castle #7 is a bitch.

Joined: Oct 01 2009 Posts: 5316

I remember when there was a rumor for an alternate title screen where Mario dies if you beat SMW 100% 3 times on each select file, without copying the files. I did it, and I got absolutely nothing for it. I got pretty good at Tubular though.

Props for doing that.

Eh...it's not too difficult...there's only about 5 levels in that entire game that take me a couple of tries to beat...and Larry's Castle is one of them. It's funny how he's a push over in SMB3 and SMBWii, yet here he has quite possibly the toughest castle in this game.

Mastering every school of magic in SaGa Frontier to its fullest, learning every spell, which really gets damned annoying when you're spamming the regeneration rune for 20 minutes, then killing the monster and you don't learn the damn spell! Another SaGa related achievement is unlocking the Dream Super Combo which requires the learning of 4-5 specific fighting moves, and trust me learning these damn moves is a pain in the ass. It took me about 3 hours to learn Sliding, which is the easiest one to learn out of the whole set.

I finally did it. I'm going to guess and say it took me around 25 tries but I finally fucking beat Larry.

Cleared "The Highly Responsive to Prayers" on Lunatic without using bombs, on both the Makai and Jigoku routes.

Not using bombs made it quite a bit harder by limiting the number of extra lives I could get, because it works with score.
And by using bombs you can just clear 90% of a hard level. Often, I kept dying on levels where a shitload of cards are scathered everywhere (like stage 16).
And if I didn't die, I usually wouldn't be able to clear them fast enough to avoid the "Harry Up!" phase.

As Anex86 is fucking impossible to record (it lags, or freezes, or unsynchs video/audio because video playback runs twice as fast as audio playback),
I didn't manage to record myself clearing it, so instead I posted this video of nintendonut clearing the last few stages so you can see what the game looks like.

Note that I have no idea what the fuck is going on in the ending.

Ha! I didn't have to EV train to clear this fight this time! Actually, I didn't even train at all Razz

9 years after last beating the game, I started doing the dogtags on MGS2 because it seemed too tedious to do the first time through. So far, I've gotten all the ones from the Tanker for Very Easy -Normal and I am on Hard right now. This is going to be a huge pain in the ass, once I decide to get the ones for the Shell since this game was a huge disapointment to play through the first time.

I managed to beat the incredibly hard Kaizo Mario hack legitimately.
