/vr/ - Retro Games

There's a part where a hornet is set up specifically to take out Dixie and make the game impossible to progress in unless you have expert timing.

What the fuck are you talking about. Everything in this game can be done with Diddy no problem with the exception of some bonus rooms.

You'll get used to it OP, and then you won't have to worry about it anymore because there's only a few hive levels in the game, just remember to push upward when you're climbing for maximum speed.

Diddy a shit.

>>2004064
How is it possible to beat later stages with Diddy? He's useless as fuck when you need to make certain jumps unless you consider trial and error fun.

What am I reading?

Diddy is the best with his high speed. Dixie was designed to be an easier character to play but everything in the game can be completed by Diddy alone.

Do you not know that you can cartwheel into a jump to gain distance?

Casuals.

yeah, hard boss... took a few goes...

>>2006032
You're full of shit. I've been trying the last five minutes to get any more airtime jumping from a cartwheel and its the same as if you weren't doing a cartwheel.

>>2006049
I mean if you roll off of a gap, you can jump off of the cartwheel, so you can clear longer gaps.

>>2006051
Look at this. On the ice its impossible to get over these 2 hornets.

>>2006059
never mind. got it. Had to hold a button down while diddy was coming down from a jump.

Diddy goes full Sanic speed when you know what you're doing.

Always surprised how the DKC games manages to look terrible in a still image but beautiful in motion.

>>2006820
Controls are better than fine they're damn near perfect

>>2006864
I think they look beautiful while still too.

>tries to up-sell Diddy
>doesnt provide a timestamp example
>90% of the speedrun is him with Dixie

You've actually compromised your POV, you would be detrimental in a court of law.

I always liked how if you stayed on the honey long enough they'd eat it.

It's a TAS, so it's not exactly shit you'd pull off yourself, but it does show that at an optimum, Diddy is at least faster most of the time.

The swamp levels in particular (somewhere around 7-8 minutes in) show some pretty quick shit.

I see what you mean now.

That seems to generally be a Nintendo thing.

>>2010465
Yeah, it's adorable! :3

Definitely missing the parallax effect on the water in a still image.
