2P1C Roundup

Well it took a LONG ass time to get done due to massive scheduling issues but 2P1C has finally been completed! 

First of all, big thanks to my friend and local bartender HoodedPithoui for being my other half for the event and letting me use his bar to host it in.  Also big thanks to everyone who watched and donated before, during and after the event, you guys are amazing. 

During the event we played through Metal Slug X, Megaman 4 and Streets of Rage 2 and surprisingly it was actually quite easy.  Metal Slug posed the most problems in terms of death count but you just spawn where you die so we purposefully picked that game as a sort of warm up.  Megaman 4 was the game I had the most worries about since there's a lot of precision jumping and tough boss fights but I speedrun that game and Pithoui is pretty well versed in it so despite my concerns we absolutely smashed it.  The game that Pithoui was worried about was Streets of Rage 2 since a game over in that game actually means start again from stage 1.  We emulated so that we could use Save States as a sort of charity incentive (500yen each to save, 100 to load) and despite us making a couple of states at various points, we actually beat the game on a single continue.

As a bonus we played Super Mario World too which was a REAL challenge.  Being able to sync up for things like flying proved to be difficult and at that point in the evening we'd had a couple of drinks so to top it all off we (or at least I) wasn't as alert as usual.

Still, we finished the main event in 4 and a half hours which was really cool and it was a great atmosphere both in the bar and on the Twitch chat.  There will be a VOD of the whole event being uploaded to YouTube at some point, I'll get round to doing that ASAP so watch the blog page if you're interested in seeing our struggle

Penance Battle



Well here it is finally, the stream highlight of the Penance video!

The fight itself isn't actually all that hard but it's incredibly grindy and I made life harder for myself by giving up the grind halfway through the process.

The idea is that you're supposed to have 99,999HP and when you have HP like that, Auto-Regen will deal with any damage you take from his attacks.  However I got sick of grinding and went in there with like 25,000ish health which made things a little difficult.  But he went down in the end so it's all good!  Don't forget to check out the stream for the X-2 playthrough!

Dark Magus Sisters Fight

I just noticed that I accidentally put Dark Yojimbo twice so Magus Sister get their own post!

Sorry about that!
