/vr/ - Retro Games

>>780997
Pic-related. The mod/hack helped improve the balance tremendously, but I still breezed through the game after making adjustments.

>>781029
Also: Why aren't you participating?

Challenge me, /vr/

I need something more difficult than the superhuman antarctic challenge.

Do your worst.

>>781050
1v3 as Jigglypuff against 3 Level 9 Captain Falcons. Make it team battle so they're all against you.

No 5 HP run please. I've done it thrice and I think it's easier (if still more fun) that playing normally.

>>781091
Challenge accepted. Timed or Stock?

>>781075
Only rookies.

Been itching to play through this again, haven't done any challenge runs in this yet.

>>781120
try a reverse boss order run

Pokemon. Just harder.

-Choose any starter.
-Only 5 Pokéballs during the playthrough.
-Only 6 Potions throughout the playthrough.
*Once you unlock the next tier of potions, you may sell the remaining number of potions for the same number of the next tier (i.e. 4 Potions to 4 Super Potions, etc.)
*The same can be done to Pokeballs. Poké→Great→Ultra only. No other kind can be used. Pokéballs that are found (i.e. Master, GS, etc.) are nullified and voidedified.
-HM/TMs are allowed.
--Key items can be used for your journey. 5 Repels are allowed, but cannot be upgraded. A one-time trade of 2 Repels can be made for one extra Pokeball, and vice versa. (i.e. 4 Pokeballs and 7 Repels or 6 Pokeballs and 3 Repels)
-Only 6 Full Heals.
-You may only heal once in every town, once on Victory Road, and once going into the Elite Four. If someone offers to heal you, or you find a bed to sleep in, you may do so once.
-No held items. (i.e. No Leftovers, Berries, etc.)
-You may buy Pokémon from games, but in doing so, you must throw away one Poké Ball.
-No trading from other games.
-Obtaining a Pokémon via in-game is legal (i.e. Game Corner), but doing so costs a Pokéball. You may trade with characters in-game only. Oh, and if you buy that Magikarp from that one guy, that counts, too.

Here's the kicker:

-If any of your Pokémon submit to faint, you must release it. You may not catch another, you may not buy more Poké Balls, and you may not buy a reviving item. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.

>>781114
7 stock. No items. Sector Z.

I normally speedrun this on Hard in 8:30

FF5

>I'm not ready.

>>781150
Is that even humanly possible?

>>781110

You end up doing that on Superhuman anyway.

>>781162
I can't think of anything that the Four Job Fiesta couldn't provide just as well.

No Magic run?

Guess that'd just leave items/chemistry.

>>781167

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW3Ttt2rBpg

>buh-buh muh varia suit...

>>781158
>can only heal once per town
>6 potions
How do you level up if you can't grind

>>781186

>no magic

I'm horrified at the thought.

>Party consists of Faris and Lenna being Berserkers and Bartz is a Dancer, Galuf a Black Mage

Can't beat a few required bosses without magic, unless you grind a shit ton so you can instakill them with a rapidfire/spellblade

>>781191

Learn to leech seed m8

>>780997
D&D: SoM, via MAME.

Do your worst, /vr/min.

>>781120


try a crawl-less Metroid run

Castlevania

I'm in the mood to play this again. let's get this going,

Let's see what you can come up with

>>781243
I'd also be open to any mega man expect 2 because it is terrible

>>781251
no heart containers and only dash upgrade

>>781251
Pacifist.
Don't shoot anything that isn't required to complete the game.

>>781251
Must beat the entire game without taking a single damage.
Yeah, just like Mega Man Powere Up.
Fuck that challenge.

>>781251
No projectiles until bosses

>>781157
This is way2hard

>>781293
Okay, Still 7 stock, but stage and items of your choice. If still too hard you can go Timed.

pokemon or super mario 64

>>781237

Crawl-less? What do you mean?

Sim City.

Give me a town or goal to aim for. Nothing dealing with the scenarios please. I just need an excuse to make a huge town so I can burn it down later.

I won't abuse the money glitch unless you honestly don't care.

>>781307

[Suicide Pokemon]

>>781308

>>781203
Spellblade is magic, you dumdum

>>781254
b8

>>781237
Bullshit. I tried this on Metroid Zero Mission and it's fucking impossible. I got so far too...

Either DIablo 1 or 2, I'm not fussy.

Make it a good one

>>782634
>Make it a good one
Nope. All Jesters.

Perfect Dark

i dont have access to the N64 version, so gimme something i can do in the port

>>782631
Beat Diablo 1 without ever going back to town.

>>782678
Oh nice. I've never tried an Ironman run before.

>>782659
play it using your feet.

>>782693
pfttt haha, sounds like a plan, but my feet are kinda messed up so its a no go

>>782709
with your face then

>>781162
white mage only no switching to freelancer/bare everything else is okay

>hard mode
beat byblos before giving up

>nightmare mode
beat atomos

>1800 minions of beezelbulb eternally dismembering you and not a single chance of gf mode
no holy

bump

Also decide if I'm playing the SNES or DS version.

>>781251
No upgrades. X Buster only. Chill Penguin stage last.

Ape Escape

>>783783
No guns. And SNES version.

>>783797
That's easy, though.

Here's one for the Sonic 2 players.

Collect only the absolute minimum number of rings.

>>783798
You're being nice. Should be able to get everyone armed with melee weapons and missiles.

make it good /vr/

I've already done a no swordian run

>>783832
how about the image this time

Banjo Tooie anyone?
No health upgrades is a given, I'm just sitting down to playing it all over again

>>783819
Should've said no projectiles. Never tried it before, so I'm not sure if it's viable without large amounts of luck.

>>783892
>Hell's Wall
Going up against them without missiles is suicide.

For OOT lovers, try 3 hearts, no upgrades, no sword until final prompt. This is possible, but some bosses you need to get creative.

>>781158
Makes me think of pic related

HALF LIFE motherfuckers
original, I have already done crowbar run which took me like a fucking week, get me something fresh.

>>783953
>Players cannot let their Pokemon evolve
>Protestant edition: do the hell you want
>picture looks like Pope robes
>MFW the Catholic Church has never been against the Theory of Evolution and that it's extreme Protestants that are against it.

>>783978
Speedrun it in under an hour.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk4kX9WEcZA

>>783982
fuck speedrunning is not really my thing, but I guess I should try.
results soon.

How about Ninja Gaiden? All I can think of is no power ups or no damage. Any other ideas?

Any ideas?

>>784005
orignal contra on NES?
if yes then do a no powerup run

Okay, Thunder Force 4.
First reply sets the challenge. Try to be creative, like 'only 25% speed and hug each bullet like its tohou' or 'use only the unupgraded back shot on mania difficulty'

>>783982
Friend (Quaker) here.
I was unaware that Catholicism was not against evolution so when I read your post, I looked it up for myself. Turns out that while Catholicism neither supports evolution nor the concept that the earth is over 65 million years old, nor does it scoff or balk at these notions. Its official position is that the story of creation as told in Genesis is mostly allegorical and that neither evolutionary and old earth theories contradict scripture. Evolution itself, according to Catholicism, may explain the origins of species but not the origins of life and matter; God had put it all in place, evolution included, if the theory is correct.

Just so ya know, Orthodox Friends (Liberal Quakers ie me) mostly support the theory of evolution while Conservative Friends (Richard Nixon, Herbert Hoover and their ilk) are generally torn on the subject but boast a far greater number of detractors of evolution than other types of Friends.

>>783996
Can only kill bosses, nothing else is to die unless it's required to continue.

>>783885
Minimalist run, or sudden death, be at 1 Honeycomb at all times, if you get any more than that immediately kill yourself or something.

Ikaruga, Bullet Eater playthrough.

What do you mean it's been done before?
That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, wuss.

>>784069
I can barely get past the 2nd level of that game on easy.

>>784082
I've done it once before. I honestly wouldn't wish it on anyone else but at the same time it's a fantastic practice in reflex training.

Lay it on me. I await your challenges. I'll even do the one-hit-kill cheat if you want.

>>781164
Beat the game without killing any single enemy (except bosses)

>>781238
Magic user, no magic.

>>784121

Daymmmm I remember this game. I could never get past the part where you fight the boss while climbing up the side of a castle? If I remember that rightly.

>>785186
Doesn't sound like anything I know.
Puppet Tower, maybe? An endless climb against your puppet rival.

Doom Berserker Challenge:

Beat an episode with good ol' fisticuffs only. Berserk Paks recommended (sans cheating them active).

Don't worry, they last an entire level when you find one.

Added challenge: 100% all 3 tiers (enemy/item/secret)
God Mode Challenge: Get the best time possible + 100%s (post times)

>>781158
Personally, I think a team as full as you can make it with the game's HM requirements and made up of medicore Pokemon and no grinding is actually a great deal more interesting than a lot of the elaborate challenges for gen 1-4

>>784005
no ducking

>>788305
Impossible to beat the game, then.

Anyone got ideas?

>>788531
use only initial equipment. or never use dragoon powers

>>788605
I did both on both version, still too easy.

Piss easy up until the last level. Any ideas?

Chrono Trigger

Disregard I've played it 3 times straight now.

>>788736
Beat Lavos the first time you meet it and get the Developers' Room ending.

>>788741
Did that 2nd run.

>>781158
lvl. 80 voltorb used explosion!
FUCK

>>788736
Find some sort of paper or poster board and tape it to half of your TV vertically. Beat the game without seeing that entire side of the TV the entire time.

RE 1
Already done knife only and no healing runs, anything else you guys suggest?

>>788781
Play through without using your thumbs and have the TV at max volume

>>788797
>>788761
NOW WE'RE COOKIN' WITH GAS, BOYS.

>>785157

Bring it!

(Is for original, too lazy to find picture)

Super Mario Bros.

I've beaten it many times , I don't think you can get me here.

>>788820
Play only with your feet.

>>788817
>That moment when
>forgot my picture

>>788820
Don't kill anything

Any ideas?

>>788761
At least you're trying, but I don't want something that just inhibits my vision.

>>788820
You can't look at the screen but you still have the controller, have another person look at the screen for you and call out commands like when to jump, go forward, etc. See how far your teamwork gets you.

>>788736
Any combo of these:

No restorative items used (easy)
No shelters
No buying equipment (found stuff is ok)
No selling anything (lowered income)
No using MP (except on immune enemies)
No using tabs/capsules

I can't think of anything too difficult...

>>788820
Hold the controller upside down

>>788825
I'm most fucked here.

>>788838
Gonna try this one.

>>788827
I'll try this next.

>>788832
I'll try this when I get to campus.

>>788834
Wouldn't make much sense to have a lowered income if I can't buy anyway, but this will be my guidelines. Thanks!

>>788820
Also try holding the controller facing away from you. Press the buttons with your middle fingers

>>788846
I'm doing this with the backward controller right now, just game overed on 1-2 but coming back strong.

I'll do it without warps if you guys say so.

>>788856
That goes without saying

>>788826
Nothing? Really, nothing?

>>788861
por su puesto.

I'll post a pic or video demo whenever I finally beat it

>>788863
I never thought that game was very hard.

How about playing it with your elbows and with the volume muted?

>>788797
My fucking sides. Ok challenge accepted. I start tomorrow after work.

I can perfect run Star Fox 64 in under 15 minutes. Try me.

>>788890
Hold the controller upside down

Resident Evil 2

>>788894
how do you even hold an n64 pad upside down?

>>788617
Every time you fall down into a hole or into lava, link dies and you have to restart from your last save because that's how it should fucking be. Water is ok though.

>>788820
>>788838

Hell, why not go one step further? Put your TV upside down and hold your controller upside-down.

>>788927
No, then the inputs will make sense.

>>788939
You'd still be playing the australian version which is probably pretty challenging without being ridiculously hard

>>788617
Don't steal from shop, don't buy heath potion from Crazy Tracy, don't get the boomerang. 3 hearts.

>>788953
eternal suffering mode: Upon entering any room with pots, so long as you lack the power bracelet you must go and push up against every single pot in the room at least once.

>>788617
Go Through The Wind Fish's Egg Blind.

>>783842
Im bit late, but;
>all characters manual
>dont use menu in-battle

>>788890
Expert mode, pacifist run (minimize kills), no powerups.

OR: play blind. Having played the game a lot myself I think this could actually be somewhat viable (maybe not so much for dogfights).

>>788975
you autistic genius, you
