I DID IT! -Off Topic Edition-

[Blinge]

So people would stop sarcastically saying they believe I can beat the Yellow Devil, I recorded myself beating him again to prove that I can actually do it.

I was going to say something complimentary, and maybe yank yer chain a bit more by saying "now do it with mega blaster" or something..

But the very end of the video says it all really. Amazing.

No one actually doubted you can beat the video game, kid..

[trap15]

lmfao

[Durandal]

That's how I'm going to record my future Ketsui 1-ALL.

[atheistgod1999]

So wait, am I better than an average kid my age at video games or not?

[Shepardus]

...does it matter?

[atheistgod1999]

...does it matter?

Yeah? Want to know.

[Shepardus]

Probably, at least at Megaman. Kind of hard to say when most people play entirely different games.

[Squire Grooktook]

I could easily beat Yellow Devil when I was 10-13, but then again, I am the reincarnation of a legendary warrior philosopher.

I imagine most kids today are much worse due to not growing up playing or doing much challenging stuff.

At any rate, unless you plan on playing in tournaments for money like professionals do, I wouldn't worry too much about how good you are at video games compared to others. Just enjoy the games.

[Skykid]

So wait, am I better than an average kid my age at video games or not?

Probably yes. Most kids your age haven't had much opportunity to encounter challenge in video games.

[WelshMegalodon]

What about competitive League of Legends?

[Squire Grooktook]

I have no idea*, I hate that fucking game and its entire genre.

Spoiler

Probably not though. I imagine they've built up better reflexes and concentration from competitive play.

[Shepardus]

Competitive League, Dota, CS:GO, etc. players are very good at what they do but they're a very small percentage of all players. In League only a minority even make it out of bronze and silver leagues.

I played CS:GO once and the people on the server were just talking about MLG memes and put on songs like "Mom's Spaghetti" and Darude Sandstorm.

I got in a couple headshots, but overall I got my ass handed to me. If I played more, I'd probably be better (obvious, I know).

[Specineff]

Try VVVVVV next if you want a challenge, AG99.

[Squire Grooktook]

There are lots of great side scrolling arcade action games talked about frequently in BIL's thread. It is for those of magnanimous taste.

[KAI]

Cleared Umihara Kawase (SNES) in 58 secs!

[atheistgod1999]

I have Ninja Gaiden and I haven't played it yet, so I'd probably play that instead.

I think I should be playing Gradius right now because I haven't actually beaten a shmup yet and it's the only one I own.

[MX7]

Cleared Umihara Kawase (SNES) in 58 secs!

Nice. My first sub-one minute run was proably my greatest achievement ever. A few years back I tried to do 10 full runs in 10 minutes but I'm wildly inconsistent. Managed... 5 or 6?

[atheistgod1999]

Beat Ninja Gaiden NES. https://youtu.be/Qqurqf6z4QQ

[Blinge]

SEE. HE CAN BEAT IT.

Part of the reason I found your proof videos so funny, kid (other than the indignant shouting^) is that they're not really necessary.
Correct me if I'm wrong people, but I assume:

A) People either don't care enough about the games, nor think it's such an amazing feat that proof is required
For instance, a top ranking score in a difficult shmup would probably require proof because it's much harder, and considering the competitive element.

B) People aren't automatically so distrustful of new people on the forum that they'd need proof for this.
Afaik you haven't given us a reason not to believe you when you say you cleared it.

C) If posting proof videos makes you happy then by all means continue.

Also congrats . It's a famously tough game, i'll try it myself one day.

[ryu]

Why does he only record the ending?

suspicious................

[BIL]

As much as I love a good bit of falsificare, the low score and lack of subweapon suggest he took an honest beating to reach the end credits.

[Vludi]

1cc'd Armored Warriors/Powered Gear, my only remaining Capcom beat 'em up to clear. I appreciate the game a bit more now but i stll much prefer other titles. Will probably revisit it later using other mechs and weapons, but for now i'm quite satisfied.

[Blinge]

You are a machine Vludi. Congratulations!

.. I need to get back on SoR2.

[andsuchisdeath]

I finally took the time to learn Elevator Action Returns, and I cleared it with
a no miss.

[Vludi]

Thanks Blinge and good luck with SoR2! the game tricks you to think it's easy in the first 5 stages, but 6 onwards are hell so practice them well.

Good job with Elevator Action 2, i have to give it a serious try later.

[maximo310]

Congrats on the 1cc of Armored Warriors! I barely got a 1cc myself a few years ago; its such a brutal game. The last few stages can screw you over pretty easily if you're not very careful.

[electricgrave]

Awesome!!!

Love that game, did you get the PCB?

[andsuchisdeath]

Awesome!!!

Love that game, did you get the PCB?

Hey homie. No, I didn't. It was the Saturn port that I've owned for like 9 years.

[atheistgod1999]

After getting sidetracked by other games and stuff, I finally beat Far Cry 3 on Master difficulty.

Spoiler

I chose to save my friends. I laughed my ass off when Dennis accidentally killed Citra.

Also: WHY THE FUCK IS THERE NO FINAL BOSS!?
