I like it because it reminds me of bridgeburner, the first level that really felt fun to P-rank 😌
Levels are a big part of the music to me
Death Odyssey and Sands of Tide are great songs
but they’re even better because of the great levels that fit the vibes exactly

Our overexposure of Bridgeburner was due to the P-Rank funnily enough.
It took us so long to get over the bridgeburner hump, barely missing out on time and style each time, and we're just like. Sick of its taste.

No shame in it, I put it on and as I got better I slowly turned it down. still haven't reached 0 yet but w/e
it'll help you with things like flicking coins you throw or just making sure something gets hit with your shots
My initial % was 11 but adjust to your liking
Second thing is to learn some of the weapon interactions
for instance, if you put a magnet on an enemy, rockets near it will be drawn towards it
and frozen rockets get pointed at it until unfrozen (which make them homing)

i didnt learn any parries aside from "wow i can do this" and the maurice shotgun parry because it's easy
hell i only know shotgun parries
also spamming punch when a swordsmachine rolls up
spark cradle
let me list exactly why violence loves parries then
verbal mortar
mannequins blue orbs im guessing
spark cradle
||falling mannequins die to punches instantly, gutterman shields can be broken with the red arm (including the blast if you hold it) and give a parry, gutterman will get better at tracking your movement until it loses line of sight OR you bait out it's punch by getting close and parrying it. Guttertanks will try to lunge at you and punch if you get close, if you dash away they'll stumble and have a huge parry window getting up. the boss for 7-1 has a parryable attack that takes a huge chunk of its hp off, the boss for 7-4 has a huge parryable projectile when you get it to low enough health||
also yeah orbs can get parried
parrying refills your non-hard damage empty health and refills stamina
parrying enemy attacks*
being stylish makes hard damage go away faster, and parrying is p stylish
verbal mortar
i know parries are good i just cannot be asked to learn them
spark cradle

my maurice onetap method is sharpshooter
it's silly and dangerous but damn does it do work

Is it worth using standard attractor nailgun with an overheat sawblade launcher or no?

i used to do the opposite (standard saw, overheat nailgun), having one of each covers a lot of bases
I think it's worth it

We generally have a better opinion of the attractor saws and overheat nails, but the reverse should be fine.
heady pelican

sawblades orbit and nails fill the circle they orbit and the basic principle of that got me through a lot

the nail/saw weapons really do feel like specializations to choose between vs the revolvers alt just feeling a lot better as the slab var imo
also what're we thinking the next alt weapon will be?
besides base marksman bc i don't think hakita can make the base marksman any cooler than it is

Honestly swapping out the Big gun for a gun that is relatively big though smaller which can fire faster would be neat
heady pelican
I forgor, how do I customize quick swap again? I can't reliably hit ultraricoshots anymore now that the rocket launcher comes after it in the weapon order, cause now instead of just "toss coins, swap to railgun" it's "toss coins, pass over rocket launcher, swap to railgun"

iirc there's dedicated inputs (at least on M+K) to take out a specific weapon, swap weapon variants, and take out a weapon next in the order that they're placed in the terminals. there's also an option for the game to remember which variant you last used when you're swapping
that's abt all I remember
you could keep the normal weapon cycling and just bind the railgun to a specific button
that works for you

any tips for p-ranking 4-2
i hate platforming in this game

spark cradle
I'd have to do it again to tell you, I'll do it when I'm home
spark cradle
I have a full video of me doing a p-rank without doing crazy shit (i hope?) if you wanna see
but here are my tips: you can skip killing the filth that spawn on these two platforms
heady pelican
Still need to figure out how to unlock the secret level there
spark cradle
there's two strays that spawn here, if you know how to do split shots you can do one and take them both out really quickly
spark cradle
Still need to figure out how to unlock the secret level there
oh god i dont even remember
you need to ||do something with the sun i think||
the cerberus that spawns here can be killed via any cerberus instakill method
or quickkill
which include saws, nails, or the S.R.S. cannon
and then shoot it a little if it doesnt die immediately
after you do that you can jump off of the platform and just slide until you reach the end and jump onto the next, if youre falling a little short you can dash too
if you want to get really fancy with it, you can slam storage off of the pillar and just ground slam onto the maurice face and trigger the next spawn
it's kind of hard to get health in this section so i usually try to parry everything i can and do some shooting
if you use the ground slam-boosted jump, you can just hop over the pillars and skip the stairs
jump, slam, jump, slam, jump, hold forward over the pillars
i just railcannon the virtue and throw a bunch of coins to kill the soldiers
kill the maurice however you like, preferably with style for the p-rank
prepare for a maurice insta or quick kill, i used the red revolver to explode its projectiles back into it but do whatever
kill these three fuckers that spawn after as quick as you can. i used saws
if you killed them quickly, you can set up something to quickly kill these two as they spawn. i didnt do that
i did line myself up to hit both cerberus with the blue alt fire and a railcannon, use aoe to your discretion
you can ground slam then jump up on this. i dont actually know how youre supposed to walk up normally
this thing is most of your style
get one, throw a bunch of coins as enemies spawn and kill all the light enemies at once for style points
projectile boosting your shotgun shots gives a lot of style, you can use that on the maurices and virtues that spawn
or rail coin
jump around in the air a lot for a style multiplier too, switch weapons every now and then
ideally switch weapons as much as possible but that could end up hurting you if youre not used to it
whenever you get a skull, zoom in with the railcannon and whiplash it onto the pedestal
kill the insurrectionist fast, you can set up nails or saws to hit him when he lands/jumps at you
explosions to set him on fire
parrying his attacks deals a huge chunk of damage back
out of everything do that ^
then the level should be done

And now I kinda wonder, is V1 actually the good guy here in a sense?
I mean I know it's just emptying hell, but like
Most of it is just suffering
At this point it's putting people out of their misery
prime gull
i guess? its suuuuper debatable
mint fulcrum
Hell probably shouldn't exist
but also V1's obliterating - permanently - everything in it
prime gull
now that its not 1 am, here's some thoughts:
-While yeah i guess V1 is "putting them out of their misery", machines, including V1, are the reason that they're in Hell in the first place
-I guess V1 "could" (but probably can't) theoretically free the souls inside, but honestly any attempt would likely be unsuccessful anyway due to the other blood-fueled machines currently storming hell by the thousands
verbal mortar
im guessing he’s going to continue on to heaven after hell is empty
heady pelican
Most likely, yeah
prime gull
V1 is a very powerful machine designed and built, to kill. I don't think V1 has a concept of "morality" or anything.
heady pelican
That as well
Though the fact that you can give the ferryman a coin seems to indicate he has some sense of morals somehow? Idk though, might just be pragmatism.
prime gull
V1 is most certainly doing bad things, but I don't think that makes it a "bad guy", because I think that implies that V1 has a choice to be anything else, at least with what we know. Violence is all it knows and all it can be.
spark cradle
i dont think V1 is
a bad guy either

V1 is a very powerful machine designed and built, to kill. I don't think V1 has ...
oh you said that
spark cradle

but there is a good point to be raised in
How much of the game is strictly in service to V1 acting as V1 and how much of the game is dedicated to Doing Cool Shit or otherwise being in service to Being a Game
V1 can read text and make decisions on what's relevant and what's "REMAINING TEXT: IRRELEVANT"
I think not killing Gabriel as soon as he's down in the first encounter might also mean something?
And iirc, hakita was talking about the blurred lines between strictly organic and mechanical beings in the second dev commentary
i guess none of that inherently means that V1 would still have a sense of morality, even if intelligent

Brutal difficulty stray are actually dangerous! It's great! They have a leap attack that they can and will use to cross pretty large gaps, and that causes them to go prone and so reduces their silhouette. I haven't felt any real difference in any other enemies while I've started P-ranking brutal, but damn if the stray aren't sometimes a real threat.
Also, the sawed-on shotgun is a fantastic melee anti-stray weapon. You just rev it up and charge at them and it takes them to pieces.

The going prone part does make them play dead sometimes, which I'm sure will be a massive pain once I get P-ranking levels that have a proper time crunch, since I've already had an incident where I had to run all the way back to the start to get some stray strays

Brutal Prelude P-ranked
midnight turtle
hey so i finally bought the game yesterday and i wanted to ask a question
is v2 a "you just gotta bang your head against the wall untill you beat it" situation
or should i try to increase my rank and hunt for objectives beforehand
my rank in the other missions i mean
by objectives i mean secrets
mighty narwhal
i turned on aim assist and beat v2 immediately, maybe you'd benefit?
midnight turtle
perhaps but i'd rather avoid that for now
i'm just wondering if this is a "gotta step back and rethink" or a "just gotta get good" situation
heady pelican
Gotta get good, unfortunately
round cobalt
or should i try to increase my rank and hunt for objectives beforehand
Hunting for objectives won't help you, but going back and doing previous levels is always good practice. V2 is a real gatekeeper boss, and so it's pretty normal to get stuck on them. I ended up beating him for the first time using richoshots and shotgun projectile boosting, but when I redid that level for P-ranks I found that if you can figure out the (slightly unclear) parry windows it can help you really steamroll that fight.
(sorry for the ping, my bad)
midnight turtle
thats fine
well, nothing else to do other than getting good
thanks for the tips!
heady pelican
I will say
It might be good to look for the Slab revolver
Don't listen to the naysayers, Slab Marksman has its uses against bosses
midnight turtle
i have no idea what that is, but i think i'm gonna do the secret missions before v2
mostly so i get cool music to use cybergrind for practice
actually i'm gonna do the challenges i have no idea how to get secret missions yet
heady pelican
"Secret" alternate version of the revolver, everyone gives it shit for being worse but it's honestly not that bad if you're more focused on simpler ways to attain Big Damage than cool tech
I say "secret" because it's supposed to be secret, but everyone and their mother knows about it by now

it mostly depends on how much you talk to ultrakill players basically.
considering the alt weapons do give new mechanics parallel to the default model, they ARE pretty commonly discussed
heady pelican
"Secret" alternate version of the revolver, everyone gives it shit for being wor...
Like, yeah, setting up an Ultraricoshot x4 to hit someone multiple times is cool and stupid effective, but that shit is HARD
livid vale
and if you would rather figure out secrets by yourself, then all i can say is "the alt revolver is unlocked via a string of secrets scattered throughout the 1-x stages that don't have a tracker in the UI itself"
midnight turtle
i generally try to find stuff by myself first

Every move is quadrupled up. You enter the first room and the three filth perform three simultaneous and perfect suborbital dropkicks directly through your face, obliterating you in a quarter second. They continue to kick your corpse.
Also, Gabriel learns how to parry and coinpunch, and uses both liberally. He is also slightly pissier about losing than on lower difficulties.

Homebrew Weapon: THE SWORD.
It’s swordmachine’s sword, nothing more. It hits in 4 melee strikes.
- Blue Variant: HURRICANE:
- Primary Fire: Nothing Changes
- Alt Fire: While holding Alt fire, V1 charges up the weapon by spinning it around it’s head, slowing their fall in the process. Once release, the sword is sent flying in a straight line. You cannot use the Hurricane until the sword is picked up. The sword will stick into terrain or greater enemies.
- Green Variant: RUSHDOWN
- Primary Fire: Much faster than blue, but with less damage
- Alt Fire: When pressed, you will charge/teleport to either A) The Nearest Enemy or B) The Hurricane if it was thrown. The Rushdown has a short cooldown before you can use it.
- Red Variant: CARNIVORE
- Primary Fire: Much slower than the blue, but with more damage.
- Alt Fire: A slow startup Overhead Cleave, but if it hits it as an Instant Kill on most enemies, but it takes a while to recharge. Did I mention that the Carnivore is a Chainsword.

wonder about future weapons. lemme do some pattern hunting with levels and acts:
- revolver: 0-1
- alt in 0-4
- shotgun: 0-3
- alt in layer 7
- nailgun: 1-1
- alt in 4-4
- railcannon: 2-2
- rocket launcher: 5-3
notice that both weapons past the nailgun are in the second layer of their act. there's good reason to suspect that layer 8 will include a new weapon of some kind. unfortunately the current pattern of alts (1/act in first layer thereof) suggests no space for alt railcannon or rocket launcher, but who knows?

Like, he's the human son of God. The rightful ruler of Heaven in His absence. Why wouldn't he be a prime soul, if Heaven is ruled by an angelic counsel?

I'd say one of the stronger things to learn is parrying the long stab that ends a lot of Gabriel's strings. Since you can slide a lot of his attacks, recognising when it comes out and punishing it when it happens helps you get health back and deal a decent amount of extra damage.

I really ought to use firestarter more; I'm still adjusting to it and mostly just use it to make guttertanks fall over on brutal

Firestarter is setup I guess? I would use it with the nails and the attractor cause the magnets are great at helping with the rockets and whatnot but that's yet more setup and honestly the jumpstart+magnets is already busted as shit

I'm getting more practice with using it as a focused area trap
I'm actually not a huge fan of magnet with rockets because I find it screws up my aim more than anything else
And yeah magnets are just so valuable for jumpstart or sawblades that I just don't tend to use them for anything else

yeah they’re mostly a sawblade thing for me, i do use overheat nails often because of brrrt so when fighting a boss i’ll usually attach nails to them so all the nails hit
11.47 damage is a fun number
