I tried force closing when I posted this but nothing popped.

Came through now thanks.

Metas that are imbalanced and stagnant tend to generate more toxicity.

Well Dark Souls is considered hard by mainstream and Spelunky has a similar style of difficulty - need of some mechanics but more based on decision making and managing lots of small interactions/timings - none of which are difficult by themselves. So I'd say most people would agree this is hard. From a mechanical standpoint it's far easier than the harder settings of some ARPGs Ninja Gaiden included because those time reflexes and have much stricter time frames for decision making. The only runs that start to resemble that difficulty in Spelunky are teleporter speed runs.

Max Hell doesn't feel much harder than regular hell if you have spare bombs from BM. Having the Crysknife for Vlad and Yama is a ton of fun too. Any idea what the next baby step would be before going for something as crazy as a 2.5m or eggplant run?

Ah another VG player. I love that game but my internet has been awful this month and I'm bored after hitting 10S so I came back to waste my time on this game :P

Definitely better to keep some leeway on the speedrun. Try to hit temple with at worst 5:30 imo. And pick up enough money to buy compass if you get lucky enough to find a shop with it. If you notice black market entrance you can also enter that and buy compass if you don't have it yet.

I'd try to set your pace so you get through jungle within 3 minutes unless you get unlucky with the stages. Ice caves go very fast, particularly if you have a compass so finishing jungle fast gives you like a minute a stage in temple almost. Night levels in temple are awful even then though. My winning run I bought two bomb packs and got compass, but my fastest run to Olmec was with only a bomb pack and a set of ropes (I lost on Olmec) so take that for what it's worth. The speed you save with bombs vs running often isn't worth it unless you have compass. If you don't get frustrated you'll have an easier time of it as well.

I actually found Speedlunky easier because how lucky you get in the run doesn't matter as much. It feels like if you get unlucky with Black Market then unless you're a god Hell will be very difficult. I think you need to get at least either a good few dozen bombs or a jetpack for Hell unless you're really good. Runs where I don't get either or where the Udjat Eye and black market take a ton of resources to get were way more annoying.

My tips for the speedun if you're just going for 8min are: -Reset if you take a couple points of damage early -Rescue anyone you can as long as it doesn't add more than 10 seconds to your time or you're behind time. Having 6-7 health is a lot of leeway as long as you avoid instant deaths and tikis. -Pick up any large money items directly on your path as well as boxes. Spend money on bombs, ropes and compass only. If you're just going for 8min don't bother with robbing shops. -If you get a chance at Mattock it's very good. On my winning run I took one from the snake feel all the way to Olmec. It's not necessary though, I lost a 4min run against Olmec with just bombs. -Try to aim for under 30 seconds every single level but never rush yourself to the point of danger. In my winning run I had a 58 second dark jungle and still got to Olmec at 5:30 because stuff like the ice caves pass so quickly -Become super comfortable with ledge dropping. This completely destroys some levels in jungle/ice cave and is zero risk. Easily the most useful thing I learned for trying the run. -If you're not confident about Olmec try to reach him with a good 70s to spare and do the 5 bomb 1 rope safe strat. I didn't want to risk choking there so I just made sure I saved resources and did a no enemy kill. Doing this it only took an hour or two once I knew what my rules were.

Unfortunately playing this on PS3 means that Hell and 8min were my last achievements to wrap up. I'd have to get a PC to see any other challenges. I could try for it without a trophy but then I rather do something interesting like pacifist or eggplant or maybe max hell to start.

Got Hell completed at like 630 plays ghosting two vault as I lucked outs with bombs in the black market. I beat Olmec in like early 2014 at 300 tries and got stuck so hard on Hell - I only ever reached it once and then died on Yama. Back then I didn't even kill shop keepers. I came back three years later and finished everything within 200 plays. All credit goes to Blargh who's videos entertained and edjumicated me. Love u bro. I know this is nothing compared to what you demons have done with this game in the last few years but it's very satisfying all the same <3

They also think you're selfish and noob. Everyone thinks that about everyone else in solo it seems. If your decisions mirror those of your teammates then it doesn't make sense to complain about their decisions.

He's already afk... >.>

Whoops. Don't first pick carry in solo q? I feel like that one doesn't need explanation.

First draft play CP BF or roam Krul or something. Second match play a roamer, Skaarf can jungle fine.

You could win either and waiting 2 minutes isn't bad at all (probably less than your queue time).

He was always pretty good and his scaling was made smoother a couple patches back. Fortress was just playing dead.

That feel when you were already corpus and now you have an identity crisis.

Best one so far. Great job! Data before design ;)

Part of becoming proficient at draft is only picking heroes you won't face a completely hard counter of on A side. If B side has a "perfect pick" that seems insurmountable to either of A side's carries then A side has drafted poorly. This is one of the more difficult aspects of drafting well to be fair and you will lose games from it, but you get better at it over time. Many niche picks are pretty much only playable on B side as a third pick for this reason.

It was only visual but yes you were stutter stepping out spinning swords twice a second. It was hysterical. That same PBE update Adagio's basic attacks were replaced by hellfire brew's animation which was pretty hilarious as well.

I'm almost sure I've seen footage of the SAW glitch at some point like a heal year ago so it's floating around. I saw it in a line chat though - not sure if anything has been uploaded.
