: Finish the game

I made it through coordinate 136 in DDS over the weekend. No idea if I'm going to make it through the whole thing in a month.

Yeah there's one shortish and one longer dungeon in the main story after Cerberus, with a lot of endgame side stuff available

Lol like I said, haven't played it in quite a while. But I did all the optional stuff sans demifiend my first non ng+ run so I remember cerberus being closer to the middle

I'd already played this during a phase of emulating all the Mega Man games but it's been several years and it's good enough to be worth more than one playthrough

after 136, how much game is there yet?

Arch Nemesis

I think after 136 you're probably about 60% done with main story

I got back to Cerberus in a little under 7 hours in ng+, but it would've been a lot slower without a bunch of the endgame mantras mastered

I dunno if it's better than waiting and grinding only at the end of ng+, but anyone going for demifiend, I'm glad I knocked out the other optional bosses the first time so I've got stuff like null ailment/death/element/phys for breezing through to get to him

There is no way I'm going for demifiend lol. I looked that fight up and it appears to be for true psychos only, even disregarding needing to grind all the way through NG+

fun start to the year. thanks for picking, the kins. i played this one a lot as a kid but never beat it before. i would just unlock the hadouken, get to sigma and get bored and start over again. so it’s nice to get closure.

it was my first time getting the hadouken, and it was specifically so i could cheese the sigma fight because the thought of playing it properly gave me and overwhelming feeling of apprehension

: Finish the game
Nice try Sigma!

I think that's the first SNES game I've beaten. Not bad, there was some cool bosses (the gorilla face in sigma's castle was cool) but some of them were pretty mid. I don't play platformers too much so I don't think I'd play it again but it was cool to try something new.

It took me way too long to figure out how to get up the last elevator shaft to fight sigma lol.

: Beat the game
: Defeat Metatron
: Defeat Huang Long
: Defeat the Four Guardian Beasts

Woof. Guardian Beasts and Metatron weren't too much tougher than Fly Beelzebub, but Huang Long was on a whole other level.

Cool game. Like I said earlier, it's got a ton of style, the music is really good, and the press battle and fear systems are interesting. I think I like the limited number of skills you can have set at any given time - that plus the mantra system means you have to be really deliberate about how you go about building for a given fight - you don't have all the tools available that you might. Especially against these endgame bosses, one or two skills swapped out meant the difference between the fight being unwinnable or very easy.

The downside of the mantras especially though is that there's a ton of grinding required to get abilities that are farther away. This game definitely had more grinding than I prefer, especially for the endgame bosses. They're optional though so I can forgive it. If I were doing it again I'd probably be more intentional about making use of the field hunts to help mitigate the grind.

Nice pick, EE!

storm eagle's weapon also kills the big artillery turtles in one shot, if you get the angle and time it right you can kill a couple of them with one shot in sigma stage 1
