This topic is for the purpose of discussing #269: Valagard's SNES Sparkster in 27:27.72

I would like to add why two boss fights take a LONG time. The 3rd last stage boss (When your in the top down mech fight) is -VERY- tricky to beat, if you hit him too many times too quickly he goes into a beserker mode (Which he does in the movie, I hit him alot of times at first to save some time) after which you have to feint and dodge his attacks, sometimes attacking open air to keep him from charge uppercutting you. Its then a LONG process of takeing out his arms so he dosen't go into a beserker mode again, after which its a easy kill. It LOOKS sloppy, but that fight was a TON of re-records to get right. My guy jabs at open air at times but thats only to keep him in block mode. The second fight that takes a long time is the 2nd last stage mid-boss, the reactor core. When fighting the core the circle minions start off slow, but as the jewels take more damage they speed up to the point where its impossible to even dare try a boost attack because of the midair pause-spin you make every time you hit them. Then it becomes a tedious process of jump slashing at the circle minions till you wipe most of them out so you can hit the jewels from afar. Watching the movie I noticed 2 parts that I need to improve on, and thats the act 2 boss (I pause for a tenth of a second between attacks) and General Lionoss (2nd last boss, I flip over him and I attack to the right accidently, then slash him twice) When I look at the lionoss boss thou there where I miss the slash I still would have only smacked him twice instead of 3 times due to his long invincibility flashs Anything else that could be improved? Hmmm I dunno. I take a hit at the act 3 mid-boss but that was unavoidable, otherwise I would have to wait the half second before boost attacking him. Act 4 I have to take hits with the Lens laser genorator in order to kill it, otherwise its a 15 second wait between laser blasts. Also the act 4 boss I take a hit in order to get onto his other side, because if I diden't I have to boost up over him, flip 4 times to get around and then boost attack and that takes longer then just takeing a smack and going through him. The act 5 orb (The purple one you walk across backwards to make move forwards) I pause for a second before going, but thats so I can make it through the other 4 spikes in one clean motion without stopping. Act 6 is about as fast as its ever going to get =). The part with floating off the basoons and then flip/flip/flip/flip/boost/flip/flip/boost through the cymbils was really pushing my luck (Since you do 6 flips quickly in 15 seconds your guy gets dizzy) Act 7 (3rd last stage) is just me goofing around. The stage proceeds at a set speed so its not very interesting, so I just try to blow up enough bass heavy things to make it interesting (I love the bass effects in this game) Act 8 (2nd last stage) where I am crawling on the ropes I take a hit on purpose, otherwise I have to sit and wait for the charge to pass for 5 seconds before its safe for me to go. And thats about it =) I'll be working on version 3 in the future, working on some other games ATM right now. (EDIT) I see 3 no votes. I would like to know why you guys are voteing no without explanation. I can't fix things if you don't tell me the reason why. So please if you vote give a explanation so I can make version 3 better

I thought the boxning-battle with your copy was a liiiiittle to long. Maybe you could found alots of improvments there. And here and there you miss shots... or does it have some kind of function that you have to hold the button to increase your jet-meter?

Question: Why don't you play on a difficulty higher than hard? Using built in cheat codes to access higher difficulties is allowed. Crazy Hard mode (yes, that's above even super hard, which you unlock), according to GameFAQs: Go to the Set Up Screen, highlight Level and press Left, Left, Right, Right, Down, Up, Down, Up, A, X.

I have not played the game myself so I might be wrong, but at many times in the boxing battle you seem to do nothing, you just sit there waiting, as does your opponent. One other boss that bugged me was the brain with the 4 blue crystals and the shield thingie. Can't it be done any faster? It really seemed like you were using some sort of a safe but slow tactic. You apparently don't have to destroy the shield at all, but you almost do. That's a lot of wasted shots.
