I've triggered Spiritual Larsa in boss practice with a 6 bomb stock to start in Futari Black Label. It's not that serious a feat as with enough time you'll eventually get through any boss or section with a bit of luck if you're doing training on a small portion of the game. Clearing one boss in stage practice without dying (with a full bomb stock to lean on) is very different than having to learn and then pull off a complete game clear, and is nowhere near as noteworthy a feat as an actual 1CC of the game would be. Hell, just getting to Aki with 6 bombs stocked in a full run is extremely difficult as it is. There's no pressure involved when failure simply means a quick restart as opposed to facing off with a super hard boss at the end of a grueling 30 or even possibly 60 minute run where your endurance has been pushed to your limit, and that pressure is a huge factor when you're going into the final boss with limited resources left after a difficult run and you know it's going to take all your effort to pull off the win.
And dude, you've taken a 3:4 aspect vertical game and stretched it, in one case all the way to a 16:9 widescreen aspect as in your DFK video. To put it politely: that kind of stretching is extremely unpleasant to look at, and does a disservice to the original artwork. You're delusional if you genuinely expected nobody to comment negatively about it.
Listen, I know what you are saying is right, that's not what this was about. I did have a rather harsh comment, normally I respond politely to any negative comments, and I have had plenty of comments about the aspect ratio. I had some... bad experiences with bans in the past which is why I wanted to make it clear that part was not acceptable, but I realize I did not really word it well.
I know that getting a 1CC is very difficult, and I never said that I've done is better or worse. I personally don't like to make comparisons, and I know that people have achieved many things that are far harder than this. I know that very long endurance runs with a TLB at the end put you under a lot of pressure. Although I will just briefly mention that Spiritual Larsa is actually one of the easiest TLBs alongside Black Label Hibachi in DaiFukkatsu.
I know people don't like the aspect ratio, don't get me wrong. That wasn't even the reason why I responded like I did. I honestly couldn't care less about negative comments, really, although I felt I had to say something to make it clear that talking about bans was not acceptable. There was nothing else to it, I wasn't actually angry and I didn't convince myself that the aspect ratio looked good to a lot of people. I just thought I had to say something, and I guess I didn't end up wording it as well I thought I did.
I've thought a lot about the aspect ratio, to be honest. I don't know, perhaps I will change it in the future, although it's a bit late now or a few videos.
And one more thing I wanted to say, the whole respect thing? That's not even really true, I mostly just play the games for fun, I never really wanted to be competitive or have people admire me or anything. I just thought, if this person is being like this to me, they're probably like this to everyone, so might as well tell them to be a bit nicer.
