Ironically playing a Scott Pilgrim game whilst resisting any sort of urge or desire to improve on oneself is probably the most source-faithful way to do it, honestly.
I've been playing it in the least canon way possible then lmfao. I've been forcing Scott himself to max out his stats, not even using the infinite money exploit (I'm playing by myself).
I dunno, I thought Wallace was pretty okay, although I suppose the moving in with his boyfriend without knowing the stability of Scott's home situation was incredibly shitty.
That's the _movie_ version of Scott Pilgrim. In the comics he does become a significantly better person by the end, hence the final weapon being The Power of _Understanding_

A speedrun category? That sounds absolutely hellish to run but I'm intrigued by the prospect of having to do all of that without spending 2+ hours making out and sneezing on people.
Gamechamp: "I can't believe I just wasted 43 hours of my life on a challenge run of Ninjabread Man. I have to be the most masochistic lunatic in the world." speedrunners: "With enough practice, community-driven research, reverse-engineering, and attempted runs over the last four years, we've managed to waste only 29 hours on a challenge run of Ninjabread Man."
The amount you can increase the speed stat is hilarious. Once you hit the max it genuinely becomes kind of ridiculous to play as you rip ass through every level.
@@Gamechamp3000 nah, but i wish i did! i did it forever ago back in 2013 I think! I used Scott and my strategy was mostly just spamming aerial kicks and blocking/rolling. I ended up getting really good at parrying, but it was too risky to use often. My rules were a little different than yours; I went with the Average Joe difficulty and farmed one-ups with the money trick but pretty much nothing else. It took a pretty long while, so I'm super impressed you managed to do it without farming lives _and_ on the hardest difficulty!! kudos!! :D
Let's hope that after this grueling challenge Michelle and Rebecca share a thousandth of the love Kim and Knives did. You've fucking earned it! Also, as a bisexual, I am sadly not invincible while making out, but any kiss involving me IS projectile invulnerable, so ... that's something.
Better deal than gay guys get. All I get is super armor which sounds nice but it just means that I usually take more damage than the make-out session heals during it’s insanely long animation.
@@austinfletchermusic We get thorns frames, it's nice because it knocks down enemies that try to interrupt but we end up taking a bit more damage than we heal. Though, that means we take projectile damage, unfortunately.
@@HeyItsAmber99 Non binary people get to reflect projectiles on top of the thorns, but as like a trade-off when we get hit the animation is interrupted we completely miss out on the healing.
I have to admit, waiting to bring up the gay make out invulnerability frames until you were fighting the lesbian was pretty good. Also I can't believe they made the third exe easier, I actually accidently did this challenge when I was younger and those fucking vegetables just annilatted your HP.
If I had a Canadian dollar for everytime I see a female NPC with her tits bouncing up and down in this game I would have enough money to buy all of the stat boost items
As someone who has played the games/read the books/seen the movie I have to say, Scott Pilgrim is a great series. Playing the game really makes you smile at all the references to the books and the movie is just SO good.
@@timothymclean yeah, by spamming snake seeker and slowing the scrolling down. Mega man 3 quick man joke, that she did to defeat the quick man rematch.
Ah, yes. Scott Pilgrim vs the world. This game was a major part of my childhood, where I played it on my Xbox 360. You've reminded me of that childhood, and I truly thank you :)
Me and my friends played it way back when it first came out. We had no idea stat upgrades existed. We made it to two phases through the final boss. We got ridiculously good at the first two sections of that fight, but could never make it through the heart/arms. As soon as we finally looked it up and realized we were completely missing the stat upgrades, we went and spent all of our money and beat the game first try.
5:25 "And even his super duper vegan mode had the vegetables patched out with the Wallace DLC." Did.....did this game's patches predict Scott Pilgrim Takes Off?
Fun fact about my playthrough of the game: I wasn't aware that the stats were a thing and I didn't know how to upgrade them and I just beat the game without leveling them up. It wasn't until I tried beating the game a second time that I discovered how to max out the stats and felt like an idiot
I love Scott Pilgrim so much. The movie is excellent, the writing bangs, Scott goes from being a shit head to a decent human being, and the game is fuckin killer.
@@cheezbunni3530 by the end, he wasn’t a shit head. I don’t think he was bad at the end of the series. He learned to not keep running from his past and to deal with the consequences of his actions I’d call that decent.
Here's an idea for a future VG Myths episode: Can you beat Super Mario World without activating any of the colored switches? You have to beat every world, and that includes every Star World level as well as the Special Zone.
@@becomingsentient1208 Not all 96, just enough to beat all seven Koopalings as well as Bowser. I've beaten the entire Special zone without any of the colored switches. Let me give you a hint: One of the special Yoshis is the key. I'm not gonna tell you which one; I'll leave you to figure that out for yourself.
14:41 reminds me of Dream Bowser in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, except in that fight, you can get wayyy more time with his weakpoint open by using a time stopping badge. Oh yeah, and also, you wouldn't just die in one hit. Basically, mad props to you for getting through that fight, especially since it wasn't even the last one unlike Dream Bowser which is the final boss.

I would’ve used the term “haul ass” but that works too- I mean- I’ve never played Scott Pilgrim the game anyway so idk-
Me and my friend have maxed every character. It is... beautiful.
If you need stat boosts to impress your girlfriend, does she even like you for you?
Stat boosts are life lessons that make you a better human being according to GameChamp
Enemies: "NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST STAND IN ONE SPOT AND SLAP US ENDLESSLY!! WE WANT A FAIR FIGHT!!!!"
Kim: *haha slapping go brrrr*
Could not even imagine doing this myself even after seeing the strats. Damn good video.
The disembodied eyes at 13:00 just staring and laughing during the make-out session was just priceless
God, I know it's possible because _I_ did it, but damn, was it tough. Good work Gamechamp!
Oh snap, nice! Do you happen to have video of it? And did you have a different character or different strategies or anything?
@@Gamechamp3000 nah, but i wish i did! i did it forever ago back in 2013 I think! I used Scott and my strategy was mostly just spamming aerial kicks and blocking/rolling. I ended up getting really good at parrying, but it was too risky to use often. My rules were a little different than yours; I went with the Average Joe difficulty and farmed one-ups with the money trick but pretty much nothing else. It took a pretty long while, so I'm super impressed you managed to do it without farming lives _and_ on the hardest difficulty!! kudos!! :D
5:26 can't believe you predicted an entire p[lot point of the netflix show
Pfffffffffffffffff
I cannot even put into words how insanely funny this is
Let's hope that after this grueling challenge Michelle and Rebecca share a thousandth of the love Kim and Knives did. You've fucking earned it!
Also, as a bisexual, I am sadly not invincible while making out, but any kiss involving me IS projectile invulnerable, so ... that's something.
Better deal than gay guys get. All I get is super armor which sounds nice but it just means that I usually take more damage than the make-out session heals during it’s insanely long animation.
@@appelofdoom8211 Damn that sucks. Wonder what trans people get, just to complete the acronym.
@@austinfletchermusic We get thorns frames, it's nice because it knocks down enemies that try to interrupt but we end up taking a bit more damage than we heal. Though, that means we take projectile damage, unfortunately.
Oh shit so I get projectile damage AND am immune to projectiles?
@@HeyItsAmber99 Non binary people get to reflect projectiles on top of the thorns, but as like a trade-off when we get hit the animation is interrupted we completely miss out on the healing.
"after about an hour straight of mindless maths" ah so the gigadeon boss battle is a school exam
I have to admit, waiting to bring up the gay make out invulnerability frames until you were fighting the lesbian was pretty good.
Also I can't believe they made the third exe easier, I actually accidently did this challenge when I was younger and those fucking vegetables just annilatted your HP.
I love the psycho smile Kim makes during half of her attacks.
"get ready for the longest lesbian make out session of your life"- gamechamp, 2022
You've heard of the lesbian skip, now get ready for the lesbian strat.
Love this game and wish it got more hype. The animations and music are both so lovingly made.
After this challenge, I think GameChamp really loves the animation of Kim and Knives making out
I feel like it did get quite a bit of hype
I mean
It's the only thing in the entire franchise(?) That I've ever cared to interact with
@@Bighomie39 I can't speak for her, but I sure fucking do.
If I had a Canadian dollar for everytime I see a female NPC with her tits bouncing up and down in this game I would have enough money to buy all of the stat boost items
playing through this game casually is insanely difficult without the cheat codes... I'm wildly impressed by the difficulty and tediousness of this run
As someone who has played the games/read the books/seen the movie I have to say, Scott Pilgrim is a great series. Playing the game really makes you smile at all the references to the books and the movie is just SO good.
Two things i love: Gamechamp videos, and Scott Pilgrim.
Hell yeah!
Edit: … that last line alone makes this video perfect
I really appreciate the making-out-with-knives meta.
So the power of Lesbians is what won the challenge essentially.
The power of lesbians seem to win a lot of things, now that I think about it
I'm in lesbians with you.
@@_-Lx-_No, dude. The other L word.
We are ever so slowly approaching the point where gamechamp’s patreon shoutouts will be as long as the video itself, if not longer
Can't we talk about yhe pixel jiggle animations in this game, it's truly an art in of itself
It’s true art.
Well, seems we've officially gotten to the point where Gamechamp can BARELY say all the backer names before they scroll off screen. Well done guys.
...you do realize she can just make the backer names scroll slower, right?
@@timothymclean yeah, by spamming snake seeker and slowing the scrolling down.
Mega man 3 quick man joke, that she did to defeat the quick man rematch.
20:56 - This Alberta just joined a poly relationship, getting a smooch on each cheek.
I find this one especially funny because self-improvement is a major theme of the comics. Great video as always!
I played this game as a kid and legitimately didn’t know there was upgrades until I let my brother play the second to final level.
Every video of yours is a masterpiece of storytelling, humor, genius lines and a testament of skill.
Ah, yes. Scott Pilgrim vs the world. This game was a major part of my childhood, where I played it on my Xbox 360. You've reminded me of that childhood, and I truly thank you :)
The game got rereleased, so go play it again if you want!
Me and my friends played it way back when it first came out.
We had no idea stat upgrades existed. We made it to two phases through the final boss.
We got ridiculously good at the first two sections of that fight, but could never make it through the heart/arms. As soon as we finally looked it up and realized we were completely missing the stat upgrades, we went and spent all of our money and beat the game first try.
5:25
"And even his super duper vegan mode had the vegetables patched out with the Wallace DLC."
Did.....did this game's patches predict Scott Pilgrim Takes Off?
Major props for reading out all the Patreon backers. It’s commendable.
I've never played this game before. I love the fact that you heal by being a lesbian
Besides Knives, I think it's fair to say that Wallace is the best character in the series.
Fun fact about my playthrough of the game: I wasn't aware that the stats were a thing and I didn't know how to upgrade them and I just beat the game without leveling them up. It wasn't until I tried beating the game a second time that I discovered how to max out the stats and felt like an idiot
We need a "zero stat upgrades" category in speedruns for this game.
They’re working on it, actually.
"Local lesbian kills a god using the power of PDAs, more at 7"
I remember spending hours on the final boss with a friend when we were younger on normal difficulty and never managed it, so this is insanity
How a sneezing lesbian beat the entirety of Toronto
"I'm gonna beat up the entirety of Toronto without learning anything!" -Scott for the first few issues of the comic
Always a joy to see this channel in my feed.
the fact a significant part of this run is just girls kissing really says something
About society
Been binging your videos for a couple of days and seeing this appear before my eyes gave me whiplash
Scott Pilgrim vs The World The Game is a game where the ultimate weapon is your lesbian girlfriend
Definitely one of my favourite videos of yours, the tactics like endless makeout with Knives is hilarious.
I love Scott Pilgrim so much. The movie is excellent, the writing bangs, Scott goes from being a shit head to a decent human being, and the game is fuckin killer.
Eh decent human being is a bit an overstatement, he became less bad
@@cheezbunni3530 by the end, he wasn’t a shit head.
I don’t think he was bad at the end of the series. He learned to not keep running from his past and to deal with the consequences of his actions
I’d call that decent.
@@hotcofi2969
Yeah that’s fair
Idk why I started this I love the movie it’s a top ten for me.
@@cheezbunni3530 ye it’s literally my favorite film and book series.
Also, you good.
really happy to see a video from you after a while. thanks so much for your videos!
HELL YEAH!! I saw some of the streams for this, super excited to see the vid!!
Here's an idea for a future VG Myths episode: Can you beat Super Mario World without activating any of the colored switches? You have to beat every world, and that includes every Star World level as well as the Special Zone.
If you're talking about all 96 exits, I think there are a few that explicitly require the switch palace blocks. Special World 8 in particular.
@@becomingsentient1208 Not all 96, just enough to beat all seven Koopalings as well as Bowser. I've beaten the entire Special zone without any of the colored switches. Let me give you a hint: One of the special Yoshis is the key. I'm not gonna tell you which one; I'll leave you to figure that out for yourself.
@@linkthehero8431 would you allow a guess?
Isn't that just showing off how broken the cape is for a third of the levels?
@@velvetbutterfly Not the cape, one of the special colored Yoshis found in Star World.
14:41 reminds me of Dream Bowser in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, except in that fight, you can get wayyy more time with his weakpoint open by using a time stopping badge. Oh yeah, and also, you wouldn't just die in one hit.
Basically, mad props to you for getting through that fight, especially since it wasn't even the last one unlike Dream Bowser which is the final boss.
Nega Scott died because Kim refused to wear a mask.
20:58 kim and knifes are just kissing the alberta on the cheecks!
I think self improvement is overrated is such a comic Scott line
This game is one of my favorites, glad you made a video you on it, while I’m sick
Thanks for the nostalgia, absolutely love scott pilgrim, comics, movie, and the game. So looking forward to the newly announced scott pilgrim anime
