CutmanMike's random streams BREAKING MY MM8 VIRGINITY NOW

[CutmanMike]

Okay here's the official topic for my personal random streams.

I will edit this first post when there's a stream up and make a post at the same time. Yay!

/me checks to see if there is a secret stream going on now

Awww, nope. Brawlman be ready, if we're both in there, the battle for the second coolest continues!

[CutmanMike]

there is!

Castlevania NO WHIP with INFINITE CROSS was a complete rapefest, I don't recommend it.

If you want to see my torture myself by making a game harder, go ahead and request.

[TERRORsphere]

Streets of Rage II on Mania, 9 lives. If I can do it, so can you.

[VGS2]

Super Ghouls and Ghosts with just one rubbish weapon!
...Or is that just suicidal?

[CutmanMike]

I assume making a code for that would be easy but I don't really enjoy playing that game cause, as you probably know it's already brutal!

Even easy games can be made tough keep in mind. That's what I like to show off!

Play an entire Kirby game without ever getting a Copy Ability.

Just inhale stuff and spit it back out again! No Sword or Tornado to save you now!

[CutmanMike]

Now that's more like it! But which one? I think I heard Kirby Super Star requested at least once or twice.

Or better yet, play Kirby without flying!... well okay, the first large path is always impossible. However, after that you have to get creative.
I.E. Using Burning to ram yourself up walls, using Fighters Uppercut to climb up the air, etc.

I know I've done this in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror with the exception of the first part which has no way of having an ability that can get you over things without using Kirby's puff up and fly.

Pahaha, but that's the fun of a lot of those old games.  Some of them are stupid STUPID difficult but still really fun, so it feels so good to get good enough at them to actually win without cheats or savestates etc.
Besides, back when I used to play SG&G I pretty much exclusively used the Dagger, though laser daggers are hardly a "rubbish weapon".  I'd love to see someone finish it with just the Torch.

Anyway, though, a good "challenge" that actually proves extremely fun to me is Grant-Only in Castlevania 3.  Even better on Hard Mode (finish the game, press start at the end screen and you're back at stage 1 on hard, with whatever partner you had before).  I've done absolutely everything and every path in that game with Grant alone (on Hard even) with the sole exception of beating that hard version of the first skeleton knight boss, that spews bones as you hit him.  Aaaaaauuuuughhhh that's hard with Grant.

[CutmanMike]

Is grant rubbish or something? I haven't played CV3 before

He's weaker defensively than Trevor (the main guy, who plays like Simon in CV1) and his weapon is weaker, has much smaller reach and can't be upgraded.  And the only subweapons he can use are the knife, axe, and stopwatch.  However, he walks faster, jumps higher, can be controlled mid-jump (probably his BEST attribute), can climb on walls and though his attack is weak and short-ranged, it's VERY fast and can thus stunlock many enemies.  If you practice with him, IMO he's by far the easiest/best character, even though Trevor at first would seem better for most situations, and Sypha (the mage character) is pretty much the most OP thing ever if you find a Thunder spell for her.  Alucard, with the exception of that bat form which you can use to skip some hard platforming segments, is actually be far the worst/hardest to use IMO... his attack is very weak and very slow, he can use no subweapons except the stopwatch, and he has the tallest sprite and thus it's very hard to avoid things with him.  Playing with him alone may indeed be the biggest challenge in the game.

I've replayed pretty much all of Kirby Super Star doing this.  It's nowhere near as hard as it sounds.  Time consuming?  Yes.  Difficult?  No.

Here's a (very impossible) challenge for you:  Contra...with one life.

[Max]

Kirby Super Star, killing all enemies with the SLIDE only.

Yes, it's possible.
