    I think it’s more supposed to be used as a guide for people attempting this challenge, thus the “Can YOU Beat” title. Notice she usually uses “you” when describing these challenges. These are probably less to actually test possibility and more to show the viewer how to complete the challenge. I can understand why some people are confused, so if you think of it like this it makes a bit more sense.
    Either way, I like these videos for her so I’m fine with it. She could make a video about how to beat Captain Toad without jumping and I’d be all for it

      It's really weird that people don't get this. She's doing a challenge run and using a youtube video tutorial as a framing device. Most people just aren't going to do this but watching someone play a videogame in an interesting way is always novel, so the framing device mostly just let's the viewer feel like they're participating without actually having to participate. It's a good format. A lot of people use this format. It'd be like asking why there's a narrator in a film or why there's the scene with the grandpa in The Princess Bride, it's the framing device to help tell a story.

    The sheer fact that you didn't look up any strats of your own for the superbosses instantly catapults this to one of the best VG Myths for me.

      Much of the game including its language was inspired by the experience of the lead dev and his experience in South Korea. I don’t remember the exact specifics but I believe it was something along the lines of when he first moved there he didn’t understand much of the language or culture which heavily inspired the vibe of the game including its language which was itself influenced by the Korean language.

    If you care champ, a little insight into why the Peter Pan strat works.
    Basically every time you hit a boss it adds a point to the boss’s “revenge value.” When it maxes out they counter attack. However pan hits so fast in conjunction with the aerial hits that they get stunlocked. The exceptions to this are bosses that have fast counter attacks or fixed phase changes (like vexen: he will always go into his super move at a certain HP barrier unless you do a specific setup I can’t be fucked to figure out).
    Side note, as an extra cheese strat, most humanoid bosses can be stunlocked to death with final form firaga, BUT you have to space yourself so the key blades are the last thing that hit em. The more you know

  • @whotfisKy
    @whotfisKy ปีที่แล้ว +37

    there is a VERY subtle cheese you can do against some bosses (i did it on Lingering Will) thats a variation of the infinite combos you mentioned, and im shocked it wasn't in the video GC.
    equip fenrir and make sure that you don't have any combo pluses equipped so that you only use a finishing move in a combo and nothing else. then, remove any unique air finishing moves. this will make you do the default air slam finisher. enter the Lingering Will fight and dodge his first attack, then jump and attack him at a consistent rhythm. he will be stunlocked until either you mess up the timing or he dies, no summoning or duck flare required. he won't even enter the other phases. it's VERY funny to pull off.

      So, first fun thing is with the Roxas AP at the start. If you grind enough money the game actually plays a cutscenesl that basically just says "you have way too much money stop" and forced you to move on. Still gives you the AP which is cool.
      2nd I wanted to address is mickey. Mickey is actually able to be sorta manipulated when you learn how he spawns. The first time you get Mickey (like first time in save, not just fight) he is 100% guaranteed to show up. After that chance goes to 80%/60%/40%/20% as you use him more and stays at 20%. We abuse that in Speedruns to kill Cerberus real fast.
      Antiform is too complicated for a comment, but I got some fun things I can say. Each new form you obtain resets all points to 0, each time you use anti you lose 5 points off the counter, and final drops you by 10. You also can't get anti when sora is alone, a party member is dead (such as using limit when Donald is dead), or when there is forced party members with you, and you don't gain points at all when you use the form with someone like Hercules in the party.
      Last but not least, just one of the more interesting is how the score in cups works. It's not about group kills, it's literally just every 2 kills gives makes other kills drops more. So 0/1 on the combo does nothing, but 2 increases it. 3 doesn't drop any more, but 4 does. So if you actually pick off just a few heartless at a time and then group kill the last like 3/4 in a wave you get significantly more score than just magnet thunder all of them at once. "double score mode" is also on a global timer. It is based on how many kills you get in all cups and why it feels "random". Both of those are also heavily abused in 100% runs to cut out as much grinding as needed for the score requirements!
      So much more fun stuff in this game and If anyone else wants more explanation of mechanics feel free to ask!!

      @zoim2012 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@gamerkingmayathe064th5 revenge value is kinda hard to explain well in a TH-cam comment but I'll do my best. In short, it's a hidden value used by bosses to know when to retaliate. Each attack you can do also has an assigned amount of RV it gives. So (these aren't the actual numbers but it works for the example), say a boss has a value of 10 for revenge value. With Sora's base combo you add 1 point for each normal hit and 3 with his finisher. So in 2 combos the boss reachest 10 RV. When 10 is hit, they will automatically retaliate and the counter is reset. Some attacks do add a lot more than others, like I'm fairly certain explosion adds 10 or something insane like that. Honestly, the indepth details of how it works is not needed for anybody who doesn't Speedrun but I hope this at least sorta helps. And of course, any other questions about this game please feel free to ask!

      As a kid on the og Western release of the game, I never beat Sephiroth. As an adult, I streamed my attempts on 2.5's Proud instead of Critical and ended up shamefully looking up a guide, but he was the only boss or superboss I looked up a guide on, including Lingering Will, though I did level up to 99 before taking on Data Org and LW. I spent 3 hours on LW at max before realizing some patterns, how to block and counterattack aggressively or when to run or reflect. Second day of trying and I suddenly pull it off and I was absolutely floored by how satisfying it was. Sephiroth and Lingering Will. Data XIII.
      That kind of satisfaction comes from way more than just narrative in a game, and that's one of the coolest things about challenging, rewarding games.

    The Trinity limit doesn't actually do any damage until the finishers of the move, but this finishers damage is increased with each hit done before the finisher. By this logic you can use trinity limit on Demnyx's water clones and then use the finisher on him and completely Shred his health.

      It actually only applies the hits to the targets that got hit during the moves leading up to the finisher though, I think

    Fun fact: you can 100% KH2, besides the Roxas Tutorial, without dealing any Melee damage.
    Rule: after Roxas, you can’t deal any HP damage using the physical form of the Keyblade. Coating it in energy or throwing it counts, projectiles don’t.
