Did you know about this? Currently trying to do it on the Joy-cons. He uses an arcade stick, but I won’t be able to use mine unless I get this for PC.

Finally picked up Code Vein since it was on sale for $20. It’s pretty fun so far. Dark Souls meets anime tiddy

Interesting…might take some practice cause I can easily see my self screwing that up and getting the straight jump.
Probably a marketing decision. Wow people who don’t usually enjoy Platinum’s fare with “F*#@ YEAH Devastator!”

Apparently the straight jump was taken out because of this technique? I didn’t know about straight jump either, until I saw this video, and started seeing other videos.
I didn’t know about the a lot of the techniques in this game, lol. I just found out that Sonic 2 doesn’t have speed limit on slopes if you run on the normally vs being in a ball.
Learned it a lot in the between yesterday and today. Doing the piano method on the Joycons right now. Can’t get the fasted run animation, but I’m confident I can before the end of the week.
EDIT: Looking at the video again, I’ve hit it a couple times actually since I’ve gotten that close to the flower. It’s going to be muscle memory of letting go of down, after the last button press. 
EDIT 2: I’m sure I know what the Straight Jump is, I’ve probably done it before without knowing the name. @SonicH do you have any links on this?
I really enjoyed that game. I’d have SS ranked it by now if if were using Bayonetta rules.
That’s exactly why it was done. This figure was released around the same time.

I didn’t know that’s the name that people call it but it makes sense. It’s just a Spin Dash jump done on near frame one after release.

Gotcha. A lot of the naming is new for me.
These are the videos I’ve seen when looking or ‘Under the Hood’ stuffz
HDL: I already linked the Perfect Frame Dash, here’s the other ones.
English(?) dude. Mistakes are made here but good stuff here. I thought the normal run thing only applied to Sonic 2 slopes. He says it doesn’t.
Same as above. Some good info’s.
I read some things have changed with Plus? Gonna have to recheck that at another time.
Wow it runs worse than the PS3 port of the original.
I hope this hits PS4/PC, I like me some SWERY.
I hadn’t really watched much mania speed runs but good lord does Ray not give a shit about level design

Yooooo that looks sick!
I did own it at one time. I hated it for everything it did right 
. I was a decent release, but there were some articulation issues with the individual figures. I am pretty certain that they’ll be taking another swing at it in the next couple years.
I got my copy of the game is signed by Gregg Berger (Grimlock) and Dan Gilvezan (Bumblebee). I’d like to get Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime), Frank Welker (Megatron), and Michael Bell (Sideswipe/Scrapper) to sign it as well. I think those were the only voices from the original show that returned.

It’s a good one. The DLC is weak as hell, though. Very quantity over quality.

Anybody ever play a game that gets so boring that it becomes work to finish?
I’ve been playing nier Automata since February and it’s getting hard to finish that game…
Eventually the combat gets so silly and easy that I’m struggling to stay interested between cutscenes.
Plus the late game doesn’t seem to have a lot of bugs and performance issues
Are you playing on PC?
PS4. I keep getting stuck on objects, clipping through stuff, and the AI is wacked out as hell.
examples I’ll spoiler cause of, uh, spoilers and it’s a wall of text.
Summary
During the last mission you play as 2B before you start playing as A2 the YoRHa units that you were supposed to be supporting just stopped moving and the game wouldn’t progress. I killed all the enemies and the game would not progress, so I had to push the remaining YoRHa around the map till i found an enemy that would kill them.
Next huge issue was when 2B was dying from the virus and limps around everywhere. Was trying to get to the waypoint and an enemy punches me so hard I flew into the big hole where the alien spaceship and everything is. The only way out is a big ladder, then when you get to the top you have a weird double jump to get out. Problem was, that 2B will go from limping to normal movements where she’ll limp for 30-45 seconds, then move normally for like 10. I didn’t have enough time to climb the big ass ladder. I got it once then had to wait 45 seconds to attempt the jump, fucked it up and just reloaded a save.
edit: Frame rate has always been really spotty
