I think this quote sums up exactly what difficulty spikes are: "I'd like to think of it as taking a comfortable hike through a park, or something fairly smooth. Imagine the process of getting the best ending to be like a sudden 5,000-foot mountain to unexpectedly appear at the end of your hike, with your house nested at the very top of it." SomeCallMeJohnny

@shadwmage8115

Жыл бұрын

@@reecemota4028 Well, for starters, the boss does not have an Ice Weakness for you to exploit, that is moved to the enemy it summons when it reaches a certain amount of health. Second, that enemy it summons does not disappear in the vanilla version until you whittle its health to zero. In Golden, it leaves after a certain amount of turns and never comes back. Third, the powerful Burn to Ashes skill that is normally telegraphed, is not in the vanilla version, meaning randomly, you will get hit with a LV. 2 Fire Spell, which one of your party members is weak to fire, meaning it is likely going to get a second move, probably going to use Chivalrous Rondo on the downed party member, knocking them down to kill range(Kills outright on the hardest setting), if they are not dead, the summoned enemy can just attack them anyway to kill them. So, combine a Boss that you cannot knock down, a summoned enemy that not only buffs the boss and attacks too AND never goes away until you kill it, Powerful attacks with no telegraph, and you got probably the hardest main boss in the game.

I'm gonna be honest, I feel like Undyne the Undying is a larger spike in difficulty than Sans. Sans is difficult, yes, but he's the FINAL boss. Undyne is halfway through a so easy as to be boring game (Genocide Undertale) and is considered by some to be HARDER than Sans (mainly due to the randomness). Not sure I'd agree there, but I think it's fair to say the difference between Undyne and the no difficulty of Genocide is larger than the difference between Undyne the Undying and Sans.

The problem is that lots of youtubers, and players seemed to know that Undyne would be hard. Sans works on both game and lore points. Yes some people expected him to be hard, but almost everyone was surprised by just HOW hard he was(the first attack really puts him in front). I mean, who kills you 20 times with their first attack? Also, he literally is the weakest, most fun-loving character in the game. No one would expect him to be a literal god who understands how his universe works to a point where he can talk to the player themselves!!!

3 additional points about Whitney: (2 & 3 are remake exclusive) 1: If attract immobilizing your males wasn't enough, Miltank's high speed means that she can flinch you with stomp. And feet don't recognize gender. 2: if you think you can avoid stomp with a Ghost type, guess again; Miltank's passive ability let's it use normal (and fighting) moves against ghost pokemon. 3: You mentioned using status conditions but Miltank hilda a lum berry which will automatically cure the first non-volatile status you hit it with. (NV status is anything that has a symbol, so burn, sleep, para, freeze, or poison/bad poison)

As a kid my Bayleaf probably in the mid 20s crushed that cow effortlessly. I had a lot more trouble with Jasmine to where I needed to fight her after beating Pryce to stand a chance of winning. Johto is a region where the males tend to be pushovers, while the girls provide real challenges. The remakes added the Kimono Girl Gauntlet that gradually weakens you. I feel bad for the Nuzlockers who died from their surprise boss rush that wasn't in the original game.

With the Biggoron's Sword, Dark Link completely falls apart to the simple method of backflipping and following it up with a stab (it can be done with the Master Sword, but the Biggoron's Sword's increased range makes it more accurate).

Personally, I've always had more trouble with Bugsy's Scyther than Whitney's Miltank, probably because I hate Onix and Geodude (I hate all trade evo's). I almost never run with Cyndaquil either, there are some Pokemon that are cursed for me and Cyndaquil is one of them.

You also forget the fact that after finishing off Trunks; Beerus and Whis will proceed to wombo combo you, leaving you no other choice but to dodge, power up and spam supers if you manage to survive their hits.

If you have not played the vanilla version of Persona 4, but have played Persona 4 Golden, let me tell you something. In Golden, most of the bosses were balanced to be more consistent in their difficulty, and this statement could not be any more true with Shadow Yukiko. This boss specifically got heavily nerfed as the one in Vanilla is one of the hardest in the game without any prior knowledge. Do you need to know the differences if you are not familiar?

Forgot how TAAAAAAAALL Whitney is in the anime pd. I always found Morty to be much harder, mostly bc I am pretty unlucky and get hit with Hypnosis all the time. And Sleep in Gen 2 can last FOREVER!

I'm really glad you have Shadow Yukiko shown every time you count down each example. She is an EVIL difficulty spike in my favourite game. xD

In this context, my favorite fight was against Majima and Saejima, where they remind the players that they're still powerful characters.

The only way I was able to beat it in Black, and Black 2 and win the battle against this D-Bag was due to my starter's ability that being Samurott's Torrent in Black, and Serperior's Overgrow in Black 2, and RNGesus being merciful enough to let me get a successful critical hit with Hydro Cannon, and Frenzy Plant respectively.

Honestly, I thought you were gonna add C. Hook from KH chain of memories instead of maleficent.

11:15 Teaser for another video? 12:38 Jigglypuff, Snorlax and Dunsparce can learn rollout by leveling up in Gold and Silver. I think they're able to use this move because either the Pokémon has a sphere-like shape or they can just simply roll, so that's how normal types can use Rollout.

I don't recall stating this before, but an interesting little tidbit about Dark Link in Ocarina of Time: once you reach the island and cross the waters to walk to the other door, your reflection vanishes. I don't think it vanishes if you don't walk across the island first, meaning even if you walk to the other door, he won't spawn unless you walk across the island first. This suggests that Dark Link will ONLY APPEAR if your reflection is stolen, or spirited away, by a foreign obstruction. I'm surprised Gaijin Goombah hasn't done a Culture Shock analysis on this phenomenon since it sounds like it'd be right up his alley. Anyway, the more ya know. :3

Forgot a few things about Whitney's Miltank that make her even more painful: - It has Stomp, which can make you flinch, so yeah, have fun trying and failing to attack for 5 turns in a row cause of that and infatuation! Next 2 are only for the remakes of Gen 2: - Miltank has Scrappy, so you can't use a ghost and hope that'll save you since normal type moves will still hit. - It's holding a Lum Berry, which immediately cures any status condition it gets once, so yeah.

“Fawful’s Minion liked the video”

I didn't really have a hard time fighting Maleficent, just hacking and slashing while hitting her with spells while my teammates drew her fire; Riku killed me way more. The one I remember was Roxas in KH2: Final Mix; the game up until that point was pretty easy and while some bosses gave me problems I just switch my strategy a bit and won. Roxas however kind of comes out of nowhere and if you aren't great at dodges or counters he will destroy you. There also aren't a lot of areas to level grind until after this battle so everything past him is pretty easy. As far as Gen 2 goes in Pokemon, I feel like Morty doesn't get the credit he deserves. While Whitney is annoying, Morty's Gengar will put you to sleep and hit you with Dream Eater a lot. He is also pretty fast as a fully evolved Pokemon and in the remakes it has Levitate, so ground moves don't work now either. The rest of his team aren't exactly pushovers as they can also put you to sleep or Curse you. Clair is also harder then Lance in my opinion, as his 3 Dragonite have a 4x weakness to ice and moves like Ice Punch can be bought. Clair has Dragonairs that don't have that 4x weakness and will paralyze you if you can't knock them out in one hit. Her Kingdra is only weak to other dragon attacks which aren't that common until after beating her.

That fucking Miltank, *GOD THAT FUCKING MILTANK!* I remember having both heart gold and soul silver, I rolled up with my male quilava, and easily thrashed whitney's first pokemon, but then that thing kept spamming Attract! I stood no chance as it rolled me flat, then bulldozed the rest of my team who I didn't bother to train since wasn't that great at pokemon and mainly relied on my starter!

In the case of the RPG Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria, the difficulty spike after chapter 3 was so ridiculously huge that the bosses were still difficult even after ridiculous grinding.

To be completely honest, Miltank is a double edged sword. Rollout is only 90% accuracy with chances to miss every round. Why I say double edged? MILTANK IS EVEN MORE BROKEN WHEN THE PLAYER GETS IT. Seriously I'm doing a miltank only run of gen 2 and the only reason I had to grind at all was to get her to level 34 for rollout bc all the other moves are normal type and I needed to beat Morty. Also another reason whitney is probably cheating because she's 14-15 levels below learning it.

My personal tip for beating Whitney: trade in a Pokémon with Headbutt, then catch yourself a Heracross for fighting type moves. The tree where it can be reliably found in is in the town with the second gym.

10. Never got that far due to errors that would ctd my game at first map station. 9. Haven't played the original Megaman series, save for later games that can't really be called "originals", like 11, so I don't really know the Nintendo difficulty ones. 8. Even with PS2 GameShark giving you "infinite" health and Ultima Weapon early, she can still hurt you, possibly one-shotting you on harder difficulties, and still take an hour to kill. 7. That. Bloody. Dragon. Took me two hours to kill that thing, even with maxed items at level 50 on the PS2 version, just because of those spores... 6. Miltank is notorious, but can be easily done in with a lvl 30 Machoke. Though, yeah, that's the grinding thing... 5. Barely started the series, so I don't have 5, yet. 4. OoT DL was a pain. Took 30 minutes to beat him, since I had grabbed every heart piece I could find, and beat him with the BGS with half a heart left. 3. Not a fan of fighters for the most part, but it looks fun, so I might play it. But that fight is just bs for doing that. 2. I really couldn't stand when my buddies and I played Genocide, not because of the difficulty, but because we'd just played True Pacifist, and really enjoyed it. 1.

Honestly, I don’t know why most people have such a difficult time with Whitney. Meganium is my favorite Pokémon and Bayleaf has no trouble getting past that fight. Bayleaf has high defense, is a grass type (meaning the ai won’t use the rock type move rollout against it), and will have already learned several useful moves by that point in the game (reflect, synthesis, poison powder, and razor leaf are just a few examples). Sure the first two gyms are a little more difficult if you chose the grass type, but the fight with Whitney is a total cake walk with a Bayleaf on your side.

whiteny original fight was a lot heavy on the rng (rollout chain, stomp, attract, clefary metronome), which coupled with milktank, weel, tankiness, made it more of a war of attriction, especially if you reahed there the first time the remake made it more balanced and only slightly unfair (with the fact milktank can hit your ghosts); the thing is, it's not a battle that require much preparation, but it's a specific preparation, which does not always come naturally for the usual pokemon non-competitive player, and up to now thre was no real need to do

The fight may be a war of attrition if you picked Chikorita, but it is still a fight in your favor. Reflect cuts all of Miltank’s attacks to half power, poison powder does constant damage every turn, and razor leaf has an above average chance of flinching. I am not saying that people should pick Chikorita specifically to deal with the Whitney fight, I am merely pointing out that the fight is a lot less difficult if you did pick Chikorita. Plus, if you were lucky enough to get a female Chikorita, then the fight is basically already over. The ai still won’t use rollout (or at least, it shouldn’t use rollout), milk drink just prolongs the inevitable, and attract will have literally no affect at all. They only thing you really have to deal with in that fight if you have a female Bayleaf is the damage (and flinching chance) from stomp. Witch you can easily take care of with the move reflect and some potions.
