any % is a category, I assume you're not awfully familiar with Speedrunning in general but you'll find speedrunners will usually abuse glitches, you will literally have separate leader boards/categories for glitchless runs. there's nothing unfair about it, its about finding the fastest route, you'll find everyone running in this category will be using the very similar routes and the same glitches and no body in the any% category has got a chance without using these glitches and the majority of the glitches are actually quite easy to pull off, the heat of this particular run now is in the finesse not the route, the route is pretty much already figured out everyone goes out of bounds in the same places, its completely fair.

As far as i know you can still get it on console as long as you use a hard copy, but i could be wrong im unsure.

@mapogo835 I did a fair bit of testing and it doesn't seem to make a difference if you have 1 or 2 alphas, it's also easier to breed the passives you want into a non alpha so honestly I'd recommend breeding a non alpha with the desired passives with an alpha with as little passives as possible OR matching passives for the quickest results, it can be a lengthy process either way, unfortunately patience is key with this one.

@@courtenayskelly6286 awesome glad to hear it!

I actually believe it depends, the cooldown reduction doesn't really matter for mounts, because you can just insta refresh their cooldowns whenever.

@@hughjass2640 you cant. The cooldown for their skills when they're mounted and the cooldown for their skills when they're not mounted just have seperate cooldowns. You can ride them and use their skills and get off them and have them use their skills again but then they go on seperate cooldowns and you have to wait until they're back up again.

@CGHawkatoo it's pretty low, not sure on the chance percentage exactly but it's all a waiting game anyway, the hardest part is still getting the passives you want, then breeding them into an alpha is just a matter of time, it's good to have multiple breeding farms going at once and to just leave your game open whilst you're doing things or whatever, it's alot of grinding for the perfect pal

@@themightyjaboccon Ya don't say...

there is no difference in basic stats apart from health BUT the health improvement is BIG so if there are some pals you want to be a bit more tanky then this is a good option. As for caves your best option is either a Necromus or Paladius that are not alpha, the reason being is they're not only fast, but they're really thin and they have the double jump so they fit through every doorway in a cave, using my Necromus I can speedrun a cave in about a minute, ignoring enemies and running through collecting the chests. I actually never chop my pals, honestly running through caves with Necromus, even turn up the drop rates on things if you really want and you'll get the upgrade books and pal souls really quickly and easily, you can actually ignore most of the enemies in a cave and just hunt the chests you'll be done in no time. Though Alphas certainly are not useless, bare in mind the game is getting more raid bosses and more world bosses and you might need some healthier pals for these harder later fights, they have come in handy for me certainly, I've put this to the test in another video where i put my Anubis against 3 of the world boss anubis and they got roasted by my anubis. here's the 3 v 1 anubis fight if you're interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIvVlWR6i7earq8 also a good one I'll add, I have a Lyleen Noct for the healing partner skill works great as a support pal, as well as a warsect which has a defensive partner skill, add some defensive passives on that puppy and breed him into an alpha and it'll work as a perfect tank. Sorry for the wall of text 😂 I hope this helps :) Oh and as a final note, if you breed an alpha like a shadowbeak with good passives, I'd say its worth leveling and keeping around even if you're not using it in your party, fully leveled alpha pals work wonders against the raid bosses, you really need a good army against the 2 harder versions of it.

He didn't have to answer you.

@@Nextgenneptunia you have some kind of point to make?

@@johnhamilton6768 what do you think?

@@Nextgenneptunia I think your just jumping in and mouthing off at things you have no place doing so!

Yeah for sure, I did mention in this video that it is possible to breed alphas with regular pals, Though I did a fair bit of testing with all 3 combinations and it certainly felt like the rate of alpha hatches is increased if you have 1 alpha parent, but it is not a necessity and 2 Aphla parents didn't feel any more impactful than just 1. I've now got a few alpha pals in my party and I've been keeping to the same system and it has been working for me, breeding the desired passives into the pal you want and breeding it with an alpha, it has given me quick results 😀

<3

Yeah not gonna lie mate I've spent too much time on this game, think i've got nearly 500 hours in it already XD There are definitely better teams for this if you want the "perfect build" but I kinda love the team i've built, I've also got some other great pals stored in one of those cage things you can build We need to hop on and play again kezzy :D I put it down for ages but picked it back up recently cuz of the updates, there's apparently a big summer update coming too :D

There is still an active discord for Spark and there is still a way of downloading the game and sharing your creations, some of us refuse to let it die completely 🤣

​@@themightyjabocconcan this still be played if I buy the disc for console I heard it stutters ????

hahaha, I love the chaingun and everything it does don't get me wrong, it gets its use, though I adore this games entire arsenal, I like to get fun with it rather than just using the most effective methods all the time, if you're doing the doom dance without style you're dooming wrong! XD Every underutilized weapon and weapon mods are underrated, they all have their use, I really praise this game for making every weapon so fun and useful even the starter ones.

I totally agree! if you haven't tried this mod I very much recommend it, I've spent hours and hours just listening to music playing that mode!

Havent played doom eternal in a while, might try this mod out when i have free time. Is it available on nexus mods?

@@Jiro1357 www.nexusmods.com/doometernal/mods/1049 It is indeed my friend. Yeah this game for me is one I just can't put down, it has ruined other shooters for me, Eternal is peak pve shooter gameplay 🤷

@@themightyjaboccon yeah its one of if not the best fps game ever

Ahhh, yeah the beetles are in almost every Pikmin game, its just one of those things i guess, if you know, you know 🤷 I also did the same thing at first, its almost just instinct that you want to collect everything 😅

Yeah this one was tricky! hope this helped :D

Tbh its a mechanic that only catches you off guard once, once you know whats going on its very easy, but it makes for an amazing first experience.

with 100 rocks you'll notice in this video masterhop is a push over ;)

It is very unfortunate, though this being said the Spark has an active discord and there is actually now a way of downloading and playing the game on PC again, and its still possible to share game files through the discord. I appreciate the love, I'm considering posting more from the project soon :) here's a link to the discord if you're interested. discord.gg/Q2XFuY2YKj

🤣 They can be tricky, you may have seen me complete it but you missed me trying over and over! glad to have helped!

more like a Travis Scott concert 🤣

I'm a little sceptical of that record hahaha

@@themightyjaboccon nah i managed to get the melon at the very second qvq It was painful

Fixed! Thanks for the correction!

@@themightyjabocconYou Forget Put The Snowfake On The Short

Well pikmin 1 and 2 famously have amazing soundtracks but I'd struggle to hum you a tune from Pikmin 3. I think Pikmin 4s music got better as the game went on, infact i really adored the overworld music to Giants Hearth and I loved the return of some old Pikmin 2 music sprinkled in there, but I think generally the music in Pikmin 4 rarely has much of a presence unfortunately, I don't think its bad, it complimented the game nicely but I didn't put the game down still humming to the tunes like i do with 1 and 2.
