1 - there was a screen with three of these plants that spat out laser balls and I forgot I could kill them as I got in range and tried to just avoid the fire + I realised killing everything meant nothing when few things drop health unlike metroid and the swoopy enemies tended to hit me when it was awkward
2 - I got further but there was this enemy dispenser that released white plant enemies that looked like Piranha Buds (idk the name) so I thought "hey this is a health grind spot right" like in metroid but they kept hitting me and I wasn't killing them and RIP
3 - so this time I was doing well but I started descending down the tower and I noticed I could just drop down the right side rather than catch the ladder, I figure, "this isn't the canon first stage but they can't be too mean, right?"+ it might be a speedrunning tactic but NOPE INSTANT DEATH SPIKES ugh that made me salty (first checkpoint reached)
4 - CHECKPOINTS YES I got to Cut Man but I was half health and didn't know how to hurt him and died after hitting him three times, I played like a SSB4 scrub, I immediately tried to air dodge and he read me (boss checkpoint reached)
5 - I fought Cut Man at almost full health and just died, didn't even take him to half health
idk if I'll try again but if I do I'll edit it in
mega man is actually Hard Man, this is why I don't play him in smash
edit:
1 - got to the boss checkpoint in one go but died before I got into the room
2 - beat Cut Man on my first try pfft he was a joke why did I lose to him before bahahaha
nvm I beat it
edit 2: GUTS MAN'S STAGE THOUGH
first try I thought platforms weren't showing so I did suicide but second try I got on and remembered someone complimenting the game design in a video so I knew the gimmick but I didn't jump fast enough and it SPIKED ME WHOA no redemption
two game overs to my lack of tight platforming skills the timing is brutal in this game
the boss savaged me on my first try, barely hit him once
tried cutman the second time remember someone said "there is a good order to the stages that makes bosses easy" and maybe I got lucky but nope
third try I try really hard to not get stunned every second and find out it is possible to not get stun-rocked and barely beat him
why is this game so hard (or why am I so bad omg)
edit 3: invisible blocks what why are you so frustrating
when you spend ten minutes on them only to forget about ice physics and fall off the stage
only to jump on the enemy you think you can ride and die again
game over, right, I'm done playing this it hurts me too much
Oh, I downloaded that before I left, I might give it a try later.
Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus
I've only played the og girls, they're mostly the same besides Katsuragi is more fun, Hibari isn't strange anymore and Yagyu isn't very good at crowd control without her specials. The gameplay itself isn't as dash heavy anymore either, now that guarding/ parrying exists and the bosses use limit breaks so you rarely can skip their transformation phase.
Finished the Hanzo story. Asuka has a spin to win attack, I love it.
Mega Man 1
Gave it a shot, finished Cut Man pretty quick once i saw his throw -> jump pattern. this seems like it'll have the same problem I have with Shovel Knight; I just lose interest really quickly. There appears to be no saving either so Id bet I'll never beat this game because I'll just stop after one or two areas.
While in Mega Man 1 (maybe the others idk), if you press one of the buttons you don't use (eg. L or R) you enter a menu on the bottom screen, where you can save your game.
So if you come back to the game, you should be able to reload back to where you got to before (ngl I've yet to try this)
It might just be that I never played the originals but I don't get the criticism, game's a lot of fun. Too bad I suck at everything but Fighter Squadron.
Your dad abandons you at a young age, you are a first-hand witness to the death of your mother by hitmen, your sister is traumatized speechless because of it, your dad returns one day except he's kind of an ass, the religion you've been following has actually been committing to help higher-ups with human trafficking, and your uncle is one of the higher-ups. And being told this with extreme bluntness. Sheesh!
Tried out the Gessen girls. I like Murakumo a lot more than I was expecting. I don't really like Yozakura, she's slow and her gauntlets look silly, her specials have garbage range too. Yumi is fine. Shiki is pretty standard. Don't know what to think about Minori, she's pretty normal besides her bucket thing which doesn't seem all that useful anyway.
Jessie pilots a mech to be used as a bullet against Stein, seeming to sacrifice himself so that Billy and co. could defeat him. He survives anyhow. But damn if I didn't like the scene though. Primera starting to recover man.
