You know you're in deep into GoW when you comment on a 16 view video an hour after it releases.

@@-VenemicI’m here only because I couldn’t find anymore Jak II TAS and wanted to see if GoW had some 🤣

I was expecting the spear's attacks to take 40s but it's actually not that weak, What's also interesting is how close the BoO is to BH, considering it has range on top of that sweet dmg. Overall very "educational" , thanks for your efforts.

>range To be fair, the beams are harder to land at a distance than what one would think.

Barbarian hammer truly is op

I'm surprised nobody has made a TAS about the entire game...

It's because TASing this game for extended periods of time cannot be done with the current state of the emulator. In fact, certain games (such as DMC) are lucky to even have TASes of their own at all (as this problem mostly applies to several PS2 games, and sadly, the GoW games are among these games).

0:07 >an idea Fair to say. TB cancels on BH with those heavies at MAX with good P%? Yeah, we've got an idea. As P% dwindles, I'd sooner lean towards MAX BoO (gap closing). As upgrades are stripped? Depends on if RotT (depending on its level) is boosting. SoD needs a lot to have relevancy in most scenarios (ignoring collisions). Can't exactly stop the clock for CC in the books of some, but if it ain't gameplay, I'm not fussed about it (like the timer for a trap wouldn't be). Potency on statues is another matters. 0:12 >high execution through TAS that isn't pratical BR will love it. 0:23 >PoP spam Kek.

>not its bag Yeah. Like I said in another tree, its strengths lie elsewhere. NOTE: I got two victories against TR- *suspended* ahem, the Translator. GKPAIN+. Didn't go for PAIN+ because that goes beyond what I can do with a keyboard (redirecting dogs is mapped to the right stick, and I haven't trained my brain to immediately go for the right keys on the keyboard **as it stands, I rarely used rolls with a keyboard**). Still, I believe I have a decent grasp on the issues with the fight now (first hand experience). I'd even go as far as to say it goes beyond Clone War (there was one time when all the enemies all lined themselves up in a way that no matter where I wanted to redirect the dog, it would have still hit the Translator **such bastards**, so there was basically nothing I could do **though to be fair, such moments can happen in the Clone War, but typically, putting yourself in that situation can be avoided, whereas this happened just as I grabbed the dog**). I also did it with MIN meters, so besides the Translator dying left and right, Kratos was also killed by being jailed (dog bites + Sentry slashes) a couple of times as well. And my second victory was ND. The best part? I wasn't even aiming for it.

His lack of recording options for GoWII really limits things (for the lag it causes, so it could be both detrimental and beneficial **the latter in a way that shouldn't normally be possible, i.e. the game slowing down enough that it gives you plenty of time to react, think about what action to do next without pressure, etc.**). Besides, I've only got a night's worth of experience. Really makes you wonder how Hotel got past it. And since I got to see how bad things can get, it's really all the more baffling that he got stuck IN THE ER. That aside, I will be uploading the ND win. Would you mind evaluating it for possible improvements I didn't think of? And I mean other than using Valor to knock a dog straight into the Translator (don't know what I was thinking). >with none around, (L) Yeah, forgot about this. >tricking I meant for even basic stuff like traversal. I just use fast forwarding in the emulator to speed things up while running. In actual fights? That basically never happens. That's how untrained I am, but at least I had to get used to it to get to the first Priest faster. >would have made it an exception Not a bonus credit? >Clone War On that note, do you ever see yourself having a go at it again, just for the 'heck' of it? Not so much to prove anything (not that you need to do so at all, as every vet can attest)... just because. >RotT So NUR/NUR+. Also didn't think of this. >GK NGR+ PAIN+ Don't give Dante any ideas (that's how NGR+ Clone War was born). >lack of tells for how hurt a dog is Caused several failures (though everyone with experience on this fight can relate). >lots of luck Just so. >just like you You mean you got an ND win for this fight as well? >Iberia Sounds a bit familiar, actually. >'Chosen' were cousins to >relating to such people Ouch. NOTE: Here is a fun fact of my own. The Translator has 80HP (already noted this fact in the Miscellaneous Data doc). Very amusing when you consider the fact that Kratos' family (or Lysandra, if we say that she's the one taking all the hits **either way, amusing**) has 100HP. Just think about it... the Translator, a male, can resist less hits than Lysandra, a female. Puts his 'nickname' in another perspective.

>damage output in GoW1 in relation to 2 In 1, each hit did 6 damage (on par with t0, i.e. Plume's ender), so 12 damage total. In GoWII, its output is halved (3 damage per hit), so the total is only on par with t0, which can benefit from deep hits (deep hits are also a thing in GoW1, but t1 still outclasses it considerably in terms of DPS). >SoD not worth it for DPS Pretty much. Its strengths lie elsewhere. >surprised about t1 cancels winning Same. >fall off without TAS Probably. NOTE: When you can, check your PMs on Stinger.
