What are some games with difficult controls that require great precision in order to get from point A to point B without dying?

WipEout 2097's Piranha ship is an absolute beast to control and requires great amounts of precision. It's like playing a different game.

Sometimes I get that jump on first try, other times it takes like five minutes.

And that's not even the really tough one! It's the jumps in City of Forever that I usually get stuck on for a while, even after all this time.

>>2570879 (OP)
Fighters and Shmups are probably the two big genres for this. A no deaths run Gaiares is probably one of the most challenging out there.

Honorable mention goes to Tetris when you get to level 9 and above, having to start pressing the direction you want your next bock to move before it even appears on screen.

gaiares is too hard for its own good. the hit detections seems to be a little off as well

Hit detection is a little odd at times, but you get used to it. Personally I love how tough it is, it hits that shooter sweet spot of getting just the right upgrades at the right times and the tension of knowing getting hit even once means you may as well just restart.

Flashback is a cinematic platformer. If you think that's precision, you're mistaken. It's pretty much the opposite of precision as Conrad moves on a "grid" of sorts.

[Anonymous No.2574612]

>>2574590
well you are right in the sense that you may not need a huge spatial precision since the game does it "by itself", but you do need a timing precision, which is still precision of some sort...i guess

Which exactly part from these games you need some precise platforming? For S2 I can only think the area in Mystic Cave zone where you must avoid because is a unescapable spike pit, some jumps on Metropolis Zone and the Wing Fortress Zone, the rest is pretty forgiving. And S3 is even more forgiving in this sense. The first title requires you to proceed cautiously way more times

Original oddworld oddysey and exodus. 100% run.
Ive done it many times so not that difficult now. Theres 3 parts in particular which I fucking hate though.
This pic isnt one of them, but can be tricky. I just posted it as was showing a friend the other day who couldnt believe how many fucking slogs you have to shoot

Here's how I got good. Some may shit on me for it, but I don't care. I started doing a full playthrough with cheat codes on once before practicing on doing actual runs. I would still try to play normally and not get hit, but know that if I did then it wasn't a big deal and I could continue going through, learning the patterns and which powerups I needed to steal. Eventually I was good enough that I could get through the whole thing on my own. It took a long time though, I had a security guard job back then with hours and hours to do nothing but practice.

Also the great thing about dying in Gaiares is that you get to hear that baller level 1 music again!

I don't think I've legitimately even attempted City of Forever even once. The shortcut is honestly much easier to just accidentally stumble upon than it is making that first jump.

It's really not all that bad, you just have to get the hang of it. Plus there's air there and no enemies so you can try all you want. I didn't even know about the short cut semi recently.

[Anonymous No.2575997]

Op here
I always thought Sonic 2 and 3, and Mario 64 had great controls, in fact Mario 64 controls seem perfect and almost miraculous to me, they got 3d platformer controls right the first try, the problem with Mario 64 was the camera, not the controls.

I will try Glover, Wipeout 2097, Oddworld and Double Dragon 2, thanks.

I think the first Rayman has a reputation of being a game like the one I am looking for, so I might give it a try too.

Yeah, Wipeout is brutal. Even the modern incarnate on PS3.

When thinking about fuckhead precision though, Battletoads on NES pisses me off even to this day.

I still don't think this game is nearly as hard as people make it out to be, but there's no denying that it requires the most tactile precision of any Zelda game.

I've pretty much mastered the part that was probably giving you trouble; the part where you have to run on top of that gap then jump to the pipe

I can also make the jump if I jump from the very very edge of the pipe in front of the gap and get a running start

[Anonymous No.2577308]

>>2570879
The pc version of G-Police because you had to navigate Not-Blade-Runner world with arrow keys so it was like a constant flurry of keypresses to maintain a path since each keypress would put you near but just over the path you wanted to take so by aiming 35 directions you didn't want to go over the course of a second it averaged out to the direction you actually wanted to go.

Yeah but even this trick requires *some* degree of skill.

As does killing fokkas and dark link without cheering it in the corner. I stand by my statement that it's the Zelda that requires the most tactile input.

When I was a kid the n64 controller was the best thing ever (until the joystick wore out; my thumb got the worst blisters just for trying to make Link run and I could only manage a light jog if I wasn't zigzagging). Now I have pianist hands and it really is godawful.

i was playing it on an emulator on my psp and it was sped up quite alot for some reason. the part u mentioned wasnt so much an issue, was the fucking goomba coming down the steps after the next missile launcher i kept forgetting about. cuz of the 1up right at the start, fuck i mustve tried this level about 30 times, shit you not. completeing smb1 no warps running 130% speed is trickeroo.
