    "As a reward for saving Ness, I kill off Jeff instantly."

    Something I learned from someone else doing a no PSI / Items challenge through the whole series of Mother games is that numbness is a nuisance and a half to get hit by. Considering Ness learns paralysis, it likely would have been a huge help here, too.

    i like this video, so i don’t want what i’m about to say to come off as rude. but i think that the first 10 minutes before paula joins the party are kinda unnecessary. because of course the game is possible solo up to that point, you don’t have any other party members! definitely going to check out some of your other vids tho

    • @meteorkaiser
      @meteorkaiser  3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Yea thats a completely valid point and I do agree with it to some degree. I guess my mindset was that I wanted to show off the full game and leaving the beginning was my way of doing that. I'm not sure when, but I will for sure be doing this game in the future, so ill cut out uncessary stuff then. Its also a learning curve for me being newish to this type of video, but at least that means it will only get better from here! Thanks for the criticism though seriously, I want to improve as much as I can and these sorts of comments are gonna help me out.

    fun fact: the thing that makes captain strong so strong is whenever he loses his temper it increases his offense by about 10 and his submission hold is DEADLY whenever that happens so you better hope you get a SMAAAASH or he misses (if he misses his submission hold/grapple it can be deadly for him) so just try to strategize and grind before you fight him and if your playing earthbound on the nintendo switch you can actually create a save point before you fight his “strongest” men and you can also rewind these things have gotten me to the end of the game extremely fast you can rewind whenever a boss or enemy uses an op instakill ultra godly super duper attack and there will be a chance that the attack they use will be randomized. ill add more tips soon (if i dont forget about this comment and if i get notified)
