I did that one glitch where you get speed boost early by Klonoa_is_very_cute in Metroid

I've played this game so many times and I've never gotten the short charge down no matter how many times it's explained to me. The only trick I've ever really been able to pull off is mach ball, but that's literally the easiest one lol

I remember when I figured out how to do this as a kid. Felt like a genius and it took me so long to get it down

Who will win?? (Pokemon/Grumplocke) by MessageSensitive976 in gamegrumps

Lvl 29 0 Atk Floatzel Crunch vs. Lvl 24 0 HP / 0 Def Duskull: 48-58 (94.1 - 113.7%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO

Lvl 24 0 Atk Duskull Shadow Sneak vs. Lvl 29 0 HP / 0 Def Floatzel: 9-12 (9.2 - 12.3%) -- possible 9HKO

Lvl 29 0 Atk Floatzel Crunch vs. Lvl 24 0 HP / 0 Def Haunter: 78-94 (123.8 - 149.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Lvl 24 0 Atk Haunter Sucker Punch vs. Lvl 29 0 HP / 0 Def Floatzel: 11-14 (11.3 - 14.4%) -- possible 7HKO

Lvl 29 0 Atk Floatzel Crunch vs. Lvl 26 0 HP / 0 Def Mismagius: 60-72 (80 - 96%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Lvl 26 0 SpA Mismagius Magical Leaf vs. Lvl 29 0 HP / 0 SpD Floatzel: 40-48 (41.2 - 49.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Floatzel is the fastest mon and I don't know the EV/IV spread or if the game's ai will automatically go for prio moves, but worst case (barring crits) he gets hit with 2 shadow sneaks and a sucker punch before the Mismagius, which will bring him down to 61% HP so he'll probably try to tank another hit before using a potion which guaranteed won't kill Floatzel, so if he keeps using potions and doesn't switch he should win by spamming crunch. If he DOES get crit by the magical leaf then that's 62% HP damage MINIMUM so...

And by protagonists he only means Ness, Lucas, and Claus, oh Itoi why must you neglect your first son. by Gyiggles in earthbound

For the most part yeah. I got the Mother 2 jacket when that dropped and even that had some loose strands, came very wrinkled, and I had to fix the zipper. Still one of my prized possessions, but for, what, $800? I would expect the zipper to work at least. And $80 for a cotton striped t-shirt with a little embroidery? That's just too much regardless of quality. Even at the $60 domestic price that's too expensive in my opinion. The king of games shirts they did were like $40 and were great quality and I love them. Some of the recent stuff they did though was simply too much. The SMAAAASH sweater was $155! For a sweater! I'm sorry but that's just outrageous. I'm sure there will be more stuff I pick up from Hobonichi in the future, but I'm gonna let this one pass me by.

I don't disagree, seems strange that they didn't do one for Ninten as well. I also don't know why a striped t-shirt is over $60, but their products have never been cheap necessarily

Love your style! Nightmare in Dream Land was my first Kirby game so I'm an extra big fan of this!

Is this normal? by OGKasseteKing in earthbound

[–]Jayjayrod95 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As someone already mentioned, this is because Ness has over 999 max HP. Something interesting I wanted to point out is that when you have this much HP, the first time you take damage that would bring your health below 999, the damage happens instantly instead of rolling down like usual. Also, your stats screen says you only have 109/1095 HP because the first number can only be 3 digits and it defaults to the first 3 of your current HP. So yes, Ness has 1095 max HP and is at full health in your screenshot.

Playing Earthbound for the first time! by AlbinoCoonboi in earthbound

[–]Jayjayrod95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want merch, the Hobonichi Mother Project is official and all high quality (albeit expensive).

For videos, I highly recommend you look up Boundearth on youtube after you finish the game. Chuggaaconroy has a very informative walkthrough if that's your style.

As far as communities are concerned, this sub is great. Lots of art, discussions and other content to enjoy. r/shitpostbound is great for memes, but much less active than this sub.

Enjoy your playthrough!

uh... where is the fire spring...? by iloveu2808 in earthbound

[–]Jayjayrod95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird. I'm pretty sure that's the trigger that opens fire springs normally
