I feel like killing the normal Roman using the second big one as a whip makes the spawn even more consistent

failentin

WCW run today. 5 shields instant shields in village

froster_xxl

XXL 2 runs are so weird

Okay can somebody help me here. As you see already 8+ romans are spawned. You should get the potion in 5-12s. The game has enough not damaged romans, so why I cant get the potion in the correct time. I mean 21s I lost... that is horrible. 😆 @adrientd found something (perhaps it is that): "Something that could happen is if ever the game decides to give a tips bonus to Larry Craft, since the only input sequence you can make is the Ground Pound, but the Ground Pound probability is 0, it will kill the tips bonus, and find another one. Though if I'm not wrong, if it happens that the game fails to find a valid tip bonus, the next decision will happen on the next frame, not after the random period". With 5 shields you have a 3/4 chance to get potion in the village and combined with Larry 2/4. I must have a special game xD

Maybe something we could try is to "debug" the game by logging every time calls to the code that generates the tips bonus, along with the time it happened, and check if the bonus generation failed or not... That could give us some insight.

froster_xxl

yeah could be. I mean this scenario is ultra rare. But yeah then its the village and when I need 6 shields I will lost time in the target section.

I wanted to test the Larry skip. It happened again.
