still planning on doing 999 title defenses if the game gets into GDQ lol

SK @swordsmankirby.bsky.social · 7h

Tried doing some title defenses on Teleroboxer, and it looks like the main problem to solve is Ikanger. All the other fights are cheese-able if something goes wrong, but the Ikanger strat for the main game has no room for error.

did someone say double fire?

SK @swordsmankirby.bsky.social · 4d

got a 13.64 Tukikage (-3.30 lol) but the strat is garbage to try to optimize

SK @swordsmankirby.bsky.social · 4d

10.10 Dorihey (-0.80), one frame away from optimal for this strat

Results screen showing 10.10 on the Dorihey fight.

found the list of words for Mickey's Ultimate Challenge in memory, but I highly doubt that all of them are used in the game ("UXORIOUS"?)

found new strats for Dorihey which apparently save 0.58 (typical single-segment RNG) and 0.78sec (after reset RNG) over the old ways

long story short, just do the ending charged hook like five times, except randomly he might not give you the hook after disappearing

SK @swordsmankirby.bsky.social · 16d

(on emulator) actually, now that I'm playing around with it, it seems really finicky. maybe okay to do in an IL setting, but pretty risky in a full-game run

SK @swordsmankirby.bsky.social · 16d

got some 13.xx's in a few attempts (previous record was 16.9x)

SK @swordsmankirby.bsky.social · 16d

just kidding, just found the lamest tukikage strat imaginable

SK @swordsmankirby.bsky.social · 16d

got 14.92 on Spokong. probably going to take a break on this game now and just play through random VB games

SK @swordsmankirby.bsky.social · 16d

spokong, then vb stuff www.twitch.tv/swordsmankirby

If Teleroboxer gets in I'll do 999 title defenses lol

SK @swordsmankirby.bsky.social · 17d

Hastily threw together AGDQ submissions: Teleroboxer, Goodboy Galaxy, Amazing Mirror (100%), Innsmouth no Yakata, and Dandy & Randy (w/ Bbforky). If I have time (and I remember), I'll go back and revise the blurbs.

SK @swordsmankirby.bsky.social · 17d

got a 2:12.60 full-game and a 15.16 Spokong today. might go for sub-15 on the latter, but it's a hard fight

2:12.60 IGT on LiveSplit

SK @swordsmankirby.bsky.social · 17d

I can just hear the Summoning Salt video playing

SK @swordsmankirby.bsky.social · 18d

while Spokong starts steaming, you jab to start the second phase as usual, but you can actually buffer a body blow right after. if you got a punch cancel earlier this eliminates all the RNG from the fight

SK @swordsmankirby.bsky.social · 18d

finally got this last IL (-0.28), but it required a new strat. 15 tomorrow lol

16.08 Spokong

SK @swordsmankirby.bsky.social · 18d

16.96 on Tukikage today, found a strat for 9.18 Pagero, and finally figured out the stun meter: only hard hits count of course, but you can cancel them counting to the stun meter by jabbing in a 3-frame window (explains why you have to delay on Pagero and why the Spokong fight sucks lol)
