Hey all you Lupus lovers! For the longest time I thought it had to be possible to make other weapons besides the plasma shotgun and Floyd's laser fire at faster than normal speeds. I always kept note that switching weapons happens incredibly quickly, and always thought that it might be possible to fire off some weapons faster than normal by using fast switching.
And it's possible! check this out!
Run, little bugs, run! Juno has a machine gun Tri Rocket Launcher now! What now, beeeeeetches!
youuuuuuutube
Yeah. Fast. I think this rate of fire is 2x faster than normal. There's 13 frames in between each normal tri rocket fired, and 5 frames in between each rocket fired with this method. When I go for 15 rockets in a row, I'm pretty sure I lagged the game up, which is why the rate of fire doesn't seem that fast. But this is firing about every 4-5 frames, in a 40 FPS game. I also wasn't using rerecording, just with timing. Which is:
Z to fire
wait 4 frames, then press A
press B and Z on the same frame
Wait 4 frames
Press A
Press B and Z on the same frame
Repeat
There may be some faster variant, I didn't test.
This should take bosses down real fast. I also think it will be immensely helpful in removing those nasty minions of Mizar. What do you think?
Edit:
Here's the power of the plasma pistol
