Cheap Cheap

cheepcheepHey guys.  After yesterday’s game night, I got to thinking about what tactics and gaming nuances drove me nuts.  It also got me curious as to what was or is the cheapest thing you(Techpedition Techers) have experienced or witnessed in a game.  This topic is pretty much comprised of 3 questions.

1.  What is the cheapest Tactic a human has ever used against you?

2. What is the cheapest Tactic a game(AI) has ever used against you?

3. What is the cheapest Tactic “you” have used against another human or AI?

This does not have to be a fighting game.  Any game type, any scenario, that made you want to tear your hair out.  What was done to you can either be a game glitch, purpose programming, or physics exploit.

Here are my 3:

1. This title goes to Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance.  Bo Rai Cho player.  Character weapon(staff) was glitched where it would hit you from impossible distance with a nearly unstoppable and if you were able to block you would then be unable to stop the grab which would set you up for a punishing juggle.  Online kombatants would rinse and repeat this.  They were impossible to beat.  This was a PS2 game so no patching was possible.

2.   I played and beat Super Mario RPG by square on the SNES.  That is right, Ceezsa played a Square RPG and to completion none the less.  There is a bonus hidden battle you can fight that doesnt have to be fought to win the game.  The character was the master.  All his attacks had insane damage but that wasn’t the problem.  He had an attack called “Silver Bullet” I think.  This attack was instant death to one of your team mates.  There was nothing you could do about it.  It was completely random who he picked.  Your armor and hit points meant nothing.  He would dash across the screen and appear behind one character and then they would die and be un-revivable.  Oh it gets worse.  He would use it again and again.  One time he did the attack to all three of my team mates on each of his turns.  I said screw it and did not waste my time fighting him anymore.  I am not a grinder so my level was not super high but high enough to beat Smithy at the end of the game.  He can be beat but probably by a super high lvl team that does unrealistic damage.

3. This one is short and sweet.  I farted on my friend after eating some Tyson Spicy Buffalo Chicken Balls(real title) they look like popcorn chicken dipped in buffalo wing sauce.  Fumes were so rank my opponent(friend) eyes were watering.  He stuck in there and tried to finish the battle but was no match for my combo of excellent Blitz 2000(Testaverde) skills and chemical warfare.  Be careful using this one though.  My eyes were watering too.  From Crying Laughing.  But seriously that was a powerful poot.  I will never eat them buffalo balls again.  Burn on the way in and the way out.  Sry for that one.  >:-D

    1. What is the cheapest Tactic a human has ever used against you?
    I had a dude yank the controller out of my hand once while playing NFL Blitz 2000 on N64.

    2. What is the cheapest Tactic a game(AI) has ever used against you?
    Blind platform jumps in all 2D sonic games, that is the cheapest way to make a game hard.

    3. What is the cheapest Tactic “you” have used against another human or AI?

    1. Rinse and repeat of quick moves that can just run together. I.E. Talim in SC4. They take awhile to understand how to compensate for. And any type of lag just screws you.

    2.Diego from KOF Maximum Impact. This boss is the cheapest I have ever seen. You almost could do nothing against him.

    3. High low mix-ups for ring outs. I’m sorry but I think winning by ring out is really cheap. But sometimes you just got to use them.

    1. What is the cheapest Tactic a human has ever used against you?

    If anyone of you have ever played NFL Gameday 99 or NFL Gameday 2000. There is a major glitch/flaw in the game in which you can ‘juke’ constantly to keep breaking tackles. If timed correctly, i.e. if you ‘juke’ again right before the animation is finished, you could do it again, and the player is invincible as long as he is in the sequence. It cannot be stopped. I had a homeboy, ‘Q’, from the ATL who mastered this, and would do this constantly. I mean, it was ridiculous. He would ‘juke’ left and right, all the way down the field. MAJOR FLAW.

    2. What is the cheapest Tactic a game(AI) has ever used against you?

    I would have to say that the spawning of enemies on Geometry Wars is just evil. I can’t name a specific instance to explain, but just play it, you’ll see what i’m talking about. I hate it, but I love it. LOL.

    3. What is the cheapest Tactic “you” have used against another human or AI?

    That’s easily the M. Bison slide, which i wore out on SFA2.
