/vr/ - Retro Games

If someone posts Yellow Devil I'm gonna explode a fucking building.

>>2639316
He's not harder than the end boss. But Shadowdancer's end boss is worse, even though the rest of the game is pretty easy.

>>2639316
> Wario's Castle

>>2639321
Which one?

>>2639321
Yellow devil is the textbook definition of a meme boss

Most people can buster only him on the first or second try, only 12 year olds who repeat what their YouTube idols say claim the yellow devil is difficult.

The bubble boss in Wily stage 3 and elecman are significantly harder (assuming be buster only)

>playing Metal Gear Solid on extreme difficulty
>Hind D fight comes up

On every difficulty but extreme, the Hind D is about middle of the road difficulty-wise for bosses.

But on extreme it's the hardest in the game bar absolutely nothing

>>2639362

>entire game is comprised of short, simple stages
>except for the final level which is a gauntlet with a three-stage boss at the end
>and no checkpoints whatsoever

>>2639419
I burned through my hoard of extra lives and had to switch to easy mode to beat all that shit.

>>2639316
Shinobi 3 was really easy until the level where you have to keep jumping on the falling rocks. But that's more from me being an idiot who still can not get a hang of the double jump mechanic more than a difficulty spike.

Not sure if too recent, but Jak 2 was bullshit all the way through.

>>2639368
Which youtuber has said yellow devil is hard?

>>2639679
Don't bother asking. Blaming Youtube is just the trendy thing to do when you disagree with someone but don't feel like bringing up any valid arguments.

>>2639362
>>2639419
I love how everyone seems to have this story about Mario Land 2.

>Oh yeah, I got to Wario's Castle with 99 lives.
>How many did you have when you beat the game?
>...15.

>>2639368
I don't think the Yellow Devil is hard, but he had that reputation before Youtube was even popular.

Cmon, son, if you're really /vr/, you would have remembered those discussions on the internet. Hell, when Mega Man Anniversary Collection came out, threads about it popped up.

>>2639316

Not at all, you probably just sucked as a kid.

>>2639623

^ This is where the difficulty spike happens.

>>2639350

Rest of the game is moderately challenging, nothing too bad. The last boss isnt difficult, hes just unfair.

>>2639316

Come on, just master your double jump and win.

Stage 6 of Ninja Gaiden. Everything else is pretty easy, then it gets frustrating.

You can literally just kick this guy to death. Pretty sure there is a free man at the top of one of those goo walls too.

>>2639793
>free man

It's called an extra life.

>>2639804
>extra life

It's called one up. ;)

>>2639812
>one up
It's called extend, n00b

>>2639813
Nah man. It's called Borrowed Time

>>2639976
Nope, it's called Extended Play.

>>2639990
Come on, man. We were doing a thing here. Way to ruin it.

>>2639990
>being so mad you shopped in a lie

everyone knows lives are called marios

>>2640021
Maybe in Italy, in the rest of the civilized world we call them Jesus.

>>2640030
Until Jesus came along, everyone called them Persephones

>>2639316
Are you kidding me? That boss is really easy. The difficulty spike happens at this boss.

>>2640415
>that boss
>hard
Kabuki is only difficult if you don't know how to block.

>>2639316
Not really, the final stage, now that was on an entirely different level of difficulty.

>>2639623
Don't forget ypu can use your ninja magic thing to jump really high.

Shinobi 3 on expert wasn't as hard as Revenge of Shinobi on Normal

>>2640439
You cannot block all the attacks by that boss, especially if you're trying to counterattack during the short moments when you can damage him without being damaged yourself. What makes it more difficult than the other bosses is lack of screen space and the traps/objects thrown about when fighting him.

>>2640456
revenge of shinobi has coin-muncher design, with too many bottomless pits setups. Gets tiresome after a while.

>>2640459
learn 2 dash attack through everything

>>2640456
Good thing Shinobi 3 is more fun and has more fluid gameplay. I guess if you like walking everywhere slowly and awkwardly platforming Revenge of Shinobi might be your thing.

>>2640456
That game is just ruthless. Owned it for 20 years and never finished it, i just lose my shit after a while and have to play something else.

>>2640465
Dash attacking is a good technique, but it's not some unstoppable move. Stop saying stupid shit, faggot.

>>2640461
>>2640467
>>2640468
git gut

I like the better challenge on Revenge, the enemies are actually lethal instead of pushover. My only complain is the bullshit jump on Round 7 we all know about, it can get a bit annoying.

>>2640449
I don't use the powers because seeing that 0 at the score screen makes me feel empty inside.

>>2640479
I know it's only about getting gud, but i just lose my nerves way before that. Still really great game, wouldn't change a thing.

>>2640479
>implying I can't perfect Shinboi 3 on its hardest mode with 0 shurikens with little effort
They were just asking for a boss that ramps up generally boss difficulty which does not expressly mean that it's hard in the grand scheme of gaming, just harder than the other bosses in the same game. You tryhard. You're so desperate to whine about Shinboi 2 in comparison to 3, fucking pathetic.

Why the fuck was Shinobi X such a massive step back from this game?

>>2640506
>full defense mode because of dumb reasons
That's actually really pathetic, are you autistic of what?

>>2640506
>being this defensive for retarded reasons
That's actually really pathetic, are you autistic of what? can't handle a conversation decently? grow the fuck up.

>>2639419
I beat that stage like twenty times when I was on vacation.. Took me a lot of time to git gud at it though.

>>2639368
Meh. I only beat MM1 for the first time a couple years ago, it took me about ~20 tries. I was drinking the entire time and between each tries though.

And no, a 'meme' boss would be Bowser: three hits to kill.

>>2640520
Dang bruh no need to be so upset over getting BTFO OUT!

>>2640541
Whatever you please spergfriend.

>>2640543
That's hilarious coming from the guy who got so pissed being called out he had to delete his post.

>>2639316
This fuck is so annoying if you don't get to it with the power up.

>>2639350
Same for final boss.

>>2639362
Now that's one hell of a difficulty peak.

>>2640415
Learn to block.

>>2640463
Fuck. This. Shit.

>>2640549
without*

>>2640549
Sonic 2 is weird with its difficulty. It's possibly the easiest game in the entire franchise right until Metropolis Zone where the difficulty takes a dramatic spike upwards.

On Game Gear.

>>2640541
Nice reverse troll.

>>2640543
It's not even me.

>>2640554
Why'd you have to remind me?

Must happen around stage 4-6.

Pretty much every time you face Death in Castlevania.

>>2640550
I swear my skills are reverse aging in odd ways. Most people say you're supposed to lose skill as you get older but I'm gettin better. I went back and played this and this boss used to wreck my shit as a kid, now I can beat him without gettin hit.

Megaman x6 as a whole still wrecks my pooper

>>2640548
I just rewrote it, see, you are being the autistic one here caring about shit like that.

>>2640565

>>2640569
Says the guy caring so much about his posts that he deletes them when he screws up to save face on an anonymous image board.

>>2640570

>>2640568
>Most people say you're supposed to lose skill as you get older
Literally who? This is the first time I heard that.

>>2640570
I personally think death wasn't a challenge until metroidvania's. There was always some ultra simple method to beat him. I mean, yea...in castlevania 1 he can be a headache, but once you learn the way around the sickles he aint shit but a moving hitbox.

>>2640572
Death in SCIV is way too easy honestly, I mean yea sciv is generally easier but cmon.

>>2640573
Are you saying Death didn't wipe the floor with you when you got to it the first time? And the 10-20 following ones?

>>2640576
I'm generally pretty good with learning patterns and movements, I probably lost a whole lot when I was younger (if we're talking about Castlevania 1) it's why I do good in fighting games despite not training myself into the ground.

If we're talking about SCVIV I cant remember the last time I died to it, I musta been 8.

>>2639316
He's not hard you spastic just hit his eye then spam the down jump kick on his head to dodge the hand rinse repeat.

>>2640461
Jesus christ you cunts and your excuses for being total shit and refusing to learn or improve is shocking. Hurrr its da game fault it haz coin muncher artificial difficulty anti spastic designz therefore is bad.

>>2640479
Which jump, that one over the sea in the first section? That was probably the hardest part for me in the whole game.

>>2640571
Cool assumptions there, anyway keep crying blood just because someone said Shinobi 3, i'll just silently chuckle.

>>2640584
sure

>>2640576
No he's a piece of piss especially if you have 3 crosses and if not you can just stand next to the block holding the whip up and no projectile can hit you.

>>2640589
Bet you didn't even do it on 1 credit or normal difficulty or higher, plebs gonna pleb.

>>2640591
Revenge is actually not too hard to do with 1 credit or normal difficulty or higher in 30 minutes when you know the game well.

There's just that one bullshit jump in the harbor.

>>2640591
maybe. watch out for that ulcer tho. being so sour isn't good for your health

>>2639321
>>2639368

I seriously thought Yellow Devil was one of the easiest bosses in the game because his pattern was easy as fuck to follow.

>>2640593
I know it isn't that hard that's entirely my point.

>>2640594
Not at all just bored of seeing countless tards in these threads using bullshit terms and excuses which all amount to them just being shit.

>>2640594
kek well played

but seriously what is with this shinobi II shitposter ITT??

>>2640585
Yeah that one, funnily i had no problems with it the first time i beat it, but then it became a problem.

>>2640598
RoS fanboys can't stand their precious game being criticized for some reason.

>>2640586
>Cool assumptions there

There is no assumption, only fact.

I never figured out the trick to Giga Gaia in Chrono Trigger. I don't know if I was just underleveled or what but he hits like a fucking truck and I never seem to tear down his arms in time to prevent his best attack.

>>2640602
>RoS fanboys can't stand their precious game being criticized for some reason.
Except the discussion started because of this shitlord talking crap about RoS.>>2640467 >>2640506

>>2640605
crono/ayla falcon slash then crono/frog spire

>>2640598
>kek
15 are we sir?
>>2640598
>but seriously what is with this shinobi II shitposter ITT??
shinobi II is the japanese title for 3 btw and he's talking about revenge of shinobi.

>>2640606
>shitlord

That has got to be the most retarded sounding insult out there. It makes me think of something a first grader would say after discovering they can get away with swearing when adults aren't around.

>>2640606
>conveniently ignoring the posts they are replying to where you're trying to lord over everyone because you like RoS
And he has the nerve to call others shitlords!

>>2640615
There is nothing wrong in Shinobi 3 being an easier game, unless you want to go full autistic about it like the Shinobi 3 shitter (you) did.

>>2640618
This whole derailment started when >>2640456 came in and starting waving their dick about how hard RoS was for no reason. That post has absolutely no relation to the topic at hand and was just made so they can imply that OP sucks at video games.

>>2640618
Bro you're the biggest shitposter in this thread and everyone knows it.

>>2640621
>waving their dick
>difficulty has nothing to do with the topic
>imply that OP sucks at video games
Holy shit your paranoia is taking this shit way too personal.

>>2640641
The topic is difficulty spikes not the overall difficulty in the game. If that poster mentioned a difficulty spike in RoS then you would have been right about Shinobi 3 fans shitting up the thread but instead the RoS poster just brings up that RoS on normal is harder than 3 on expert which is an obvious jab at OP for claiming that boss in 3 is a bullshit difficulty spike.

>>2640647
Don't bother with him. No amount of logic or proof works on shitposters.

Both Shinobi 2 and 3 are great, stop this madness.
Hardest parts :
the jump in the harbor in 2, I fucking hate it,
and the moving platform with electric traps in 3.

>>2640658
>and the moving platform with electric traps in 3.
That one can be a bitch, but I personally feel that the traps level is harder since it's a constant instant kill via falling.

>>2640659
You mean the falling rocks part?
Yeah that's pretty brutal too.
I guess I understimate it nowadays because memorization and ninja secret tecnique of super jumping.

>jump
>daggers
>jump

Shinobi 3 is piss easy until the last level. The last level is GOAT.

I would recommend Shinobi 3DS. Its very very inspired by 3 and has amazing platforming in the last 3 levels. But that's not retro so....

>>2640774
>jump
>daggers
>jump
>daggers
>jump
>daggers

I guess that works if you play with the shuriken count starting at anything past 0.

>>2640774
I don't understand it either. I remember buying it, taking it home with some Sonic drive through and beating it that night. It was nowhere near as difficult as the original or Revenge of Shinobi. I still enjoyed it thoroughly and it was the last great Shinobi imo tbh.

>>2640794
>jump
>dropkick
>jump
>dropkick

Anyway don't you have to intentionally set the count to 0? Pretty sure default settings starts you with around 30 or 40 of them each life.

>>2640794
>>2640849
Make a video of yourself beating the game this way. Oh wait, you can't.

>>2640794
[rolling eyes]
you gain shurikens at the start of each stage.

>>2639625
Yeah, it's not retro sadly.

That fucking part with Daxter on the missile though.

>>2640468
are you me?? still sits there looking at me when I open my cupboard. I mean I remember the day I beat "Another World". Damn that was a good day, took me 5 years though....

>>2643256
The fuck is that even supposed to be? An eggplant?

Early 3D graphics were so shitty.

>>2639983
Nah bro, it's a blip blop hobbly pop.

>>2643537
found the Brit

>>2643481
believe it or not, it's even harder in 1

>>2640565
Yeah especially in Simon's Quest, where you just walk past it.

>>2640554
Why did Sonic even have to kill that thing? He could've just jumped over it and kept going.

>>2643708
technically it dies on its own
