Great work for starting out my dude, overall good production values! I would advise perhaps investing in a pop filter in the future; your voice makes some nasty pops here and there into your mic which is a little painful to listen to, but otherwise I really enjoyed this! The OG Star Wars Battlefront games are quite fun games, so it's nice to see content made on them in the current era.

The fact that you made it to Naboo with only 26 kills when it's really easy to have somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 kills by this point in the campaign is impressive.

It's been years upon years so I may be wrong, but I do believe you can use the fusion cutter to repair the bookshelves on Coruscant. Being that you only need to keep one alive, it's *probably* possible to baby one through the assault by the Jedi.

Repairing a previously destroyed bookshelf does not reset the count, but repairing may allow a longer window of time for allies to kill a few more Jedi. Additionally, use of dark trooper lightning to wound and stun, but not kill, some Jedi could help your allies get more of the kills, and I would suspect this is a larger impact than repair.

Even if that doesn’t work, wouldn’t it technically be possible to cut the Jedi’s health down to almost zero, then let your allies finish them off? The AI isn’t great but I think it should be possible given enough attempts.

Princess Leia doesn't count as kill, you were obviously ordered to set blasters on stun.

@datzfatz2368

Жыл бұрын

that may be because the Remote Rocket Launcher is an Award Weapon and probably the hardest to get out of all of them. I only know this from the PS2 Version because thats the version i always played so if its different on PC somone let me know, but on PS2 at least you have to hit 4 Vehicle Weakspots with the regular Rocket Launcher in one Life to get the Award once, and to get it permanently you need to get it 64 times. Very hard/almost impossible to do in regular gameplay because where the hell are "Vehicle Weakspots" even located and ionce you know hitting them is almost impossible while they are moving and it only counts on manned Vehicles, not empty ones. I personally cheesed it back in the day by doing an instant action on Hoth with 0 AI units and shooting the Necks of the ATATs, because they always count as manned for some reason^^ The weapon was actually one of my favorites because it was very silly. You could literally just park your ass next to an ammo droid and become a guided Missile support system and give precise Artillery support to your teammates. The explosion radius of the Rocket is huge and if you sprint during the flight the rocket gains enough speed to oneshot every unit in the radius. I can only imagine what a squad of 4 or more boys with one of these all firing at once could do hehe^^ Highly recommended its hillarious^^

Awesome video! :) I will share some knowledge I gained from my attempts on this challenge: -The Holocron Jedi on Coruscant is killable by the other clones. ;) - On Naboo I was wondering why sometimes I had to kill like 9 Jedi and some other time only 5. Apparently they just fell out of bounds xD -I totally forgot about that Gizor could fall into the Lava... - My PB on Hoth was once 12 kills but I recorded only an 19 kill attempt. Just got to much tragedys there.. I got rid of the Library Jedi on Coruscant and Leia through friendly fire. ^^ My final kill count was about 38 and I also came to the conclusion that 0 kill Hoth is possible but just incredibly unlikely.

@Kazumus_Speedruns

Жыл бұрын

Glad you enjoyed it! I had completely overlooked enabling friendly fire simply due to it being the norm for the speedrun, although I am surprised that there are some enemies that the AI are able to kill 100% rather than hard coded to only take a certain percentage of damage. I didn't know about your video until I posted mine onto the discord but I'm glad that I didn't watch it beforehand as it shows the different methods that we took and it's interesting to compare! Although that doesn't stop me from kicking myself for not even considering using a fusion cutter on those Coruscant bookcases! Thanks for the support!

You can cap the command post from underneath the platform in that deathstar beam room, saved me a few times

It is theoretically possible to get less kills on Corruscant in the library. You can actually repair the shelves like how in space battles you can repair the shield generator for your ship if it ever gets destroyed though it does take awhile so rng will also be a factor there

There may be a way to not kill any jedi during the defense of the holo books. You can repair the books shelfs as the engineer. I always used to strat to protect just one book shelf

Man, this video was a sooo great finding! I played this game a lot when I was younger and now I'm revisiting it.

Very well put together video! Thank you for sparing all those lives. I look forward to more content👍

Great video! Just some light criticism: Try adjusting mic settings to prevent breath feedback from your mic (it's kind of distracting as I use headphones and can constantly hear it.) Other than that, you just need to clean up editing between sequences/scenes and you got a 10/10 video. All in all, the structuring and pacing is great, excellent choice in music and the chapter timestamps show you put great care and effort into the video. Just need to go that extra step to bring everything closer to perfection.

Regarding killing the Jedi masters as Anakin, you could theoretically put them in an infinite force choke, they'd be stuck in place and would then be free to be shot at or blown up by nearby clones. (If you don't know the infinite choke glitch, since it's primarily a Hero Assault thing, you just swap your power from force choke to saber throw while still holding down the choke). Doing this also gives you more freedom to move around, you can even sprint while choking like this, although you would very quickly run out of range for the choke.

I look at these maps and remember almost every single one of them from my childhood. Especially the Hoth one. I loved flying on those speeders
