The rules are stupid but I still think it's really cool that an arcade beat em up adheres to the letter and spirit of the D&D world so well.

Kills a little old lady by shouting righteously at her. :allears:

EDIT: Then attempted to dump a barrel's volume of burning oil to kill a dragon of all things. That didn't quite work, so he battered the dragon a couple times and used a lightning ring to apparently one-shot it.

Man, the runner had some rough luck/nerves in this run, I think every fast kill/strat didn't go his way.

edit: oh, he's a fellow Brazilian!

It's probably one of the cooler beat em ups, honestly. Lots of branching paths, solid combat, and every character has something neat going for them.

If you never played the DnD beat 'em ups, you probably should. They're full of weird stuff, special moves and all characters are VERY different. That one is probably my favorite game in that genre.

Yeah I stumbled across it when I built a MAME machine and was really impressed. Capcom late-gen CPS2 at the top of their game.

It was re-released in HD for modern consoles (PS3 and 360 I think?) and extra content if anyone is interested in trying it.

It's on PC as well (which means you probably should've bought it last week when it was on sale on the Steam Christmas sale).

Yeah I noticed that they seemed to have a lot of variety and options in it apart from just PUNCH MAN

You just reminded me that the first and only game I ever tried to Speedrun was Metal Gear Solid for the Game Boy Color, coincidentally the only MGS I've ever played until 5 came along

I think most of the music in Shovel Knight is really good honestly and I usually hate retro stuff.

Propeller Knight is also a completely fantastic track, and also King Knight, Tinker Knight, and the Tower of Fate levels have great music too.

You're insane, the best track is High Above the Land :colbert: And pretty much all of the music in Shovel Knight is amazing.


e: also, the announcer is getting on my nerves with his "you HAVE to donate to the thing I want you HAVE TO" shtick.

That may be the best level theme, but the best boss theme is the midboss / wandering traveler theme, playing now. Have you heard the lyric version? AMAZING!
