[@senkichi]

I really like these videos. It's not about making it as difficult as possible, it's about how far you can push one fighting style.

[@abrahamsandwich]

Good to know!

[@blackshard641]

Not even necessarily a fighting style. It's more about fully exploring the absolute limits of the game's creative freedom by artificially imposing a focused and unique restriction. Think of the permadeath run, for example. "permadeath" kinda has to exclude the end of Act I, but otherwise, yeah it's totally possible. You're right that the key element is pushing the restriction as far as possible, because this approach tests both the player and the game. Speed runs are basically one very specific version of this. It's also the most likely way to discover unexpected (and potentially hilarious) edge-case experiences.

[@fardass3535]

honestly i think that is one of the big things as to why ymfah has such status in the challenge run community, his videos arent just struggling for the point of a challenge, its about setting rules for a run and seeing how op you can get within those boundries thats usually way more entertaining to watch than just sitting there while some guy wails on a boss with 1 damage weapons for 3 hours or smth

[@lil-trashcans-_-]

I just realized, placide may be the smartest (and most annoying) enemy in the entire game, uses a sandy so you gotta get close to damage him, but also has a shotgun so if you do actually get close to him you'll get blown in half like Johnny back in '23

[@mallardofmodernia8092]

Or do what i did and play "the floor is lava, the walls and ceiling are shrapnel and the air is poison".

[@ByteSizedGamer]

Just used a tech precision rifle and shot placide thru the wall.

[@lil-trashcans-_-]

@@ByteSizedGamer I don't like using tech weapons, they feel weird

[@nellzdablackking]

I usually spam grenades from the top of the train near the exit.

I always just one tap him through the wall with Comrades Hammer. Games so insanely easy with ping and tech weapons.

[@jovialhovis107]

When i found the quick retrieve mod for throwing knives, i couldn't resist doing a warp dancer throwing knife build. Even without a sandevistan, being able to pepper everyone with blades every 2 seconds is an immensely fun way to play. Pretty sure the legendary punknife recovered even faster too.

[@abrahamsandwich]

Yeah the punk knife is the best for recovery! It’s a lot of fun!

You don't need a mod legendary knives auto retrieve in 3 seconds that give you enuf time to throw both extras by the time the 2nd leaves your hand the 3rd has returned. Allowing you to repeat the process using sandy until room is dead

"Struggle if you wish!" Says adam smasher who now has knife handles for eyes

[@requiemagent3014]

Smasher mentioning Rogue makes perfect sense. For the secret ending you are required the Ebunike. The old stomping ground of smasher. That's why he knows of your connection to Rogue.

[@abrahamsandwich]

True!

[@3lloGuvner]

I think it's because Smasher thinks anyone in NC who would be bold enough and have the skills and connections to stage another assault on Arasaka directly like this must know Rogue, since she's the only remaining member of the '23 assault she would be an obvious person to contact for someone looking to do something similar. Also, it seems like they have some kind of score to settle, possibly something to do with the short time they worked together after '23.

[@KinaIchi]

I HAD NO IDEA THEY COUNTED AS BLADES!!! That’s sooo broken. I love this game so much because it’s not afraid to be generous with buffs and such, best power fantasy

[@chrisguzman3090]

Was wondering if you’re planning on doing more Cyberpunk 2077 build videos. Always fun to play around with different builds especially ones from your channel. With that said, you deserve so much more views for the quality of content that you bring.

[@abrahamsandwich]

Thanks man! I kinda ram out of builds I wanted to make so I’m jot site right now 🤷🏻‍♂️maybe with the dlc something new and cool will have me make another!

[@monkyk1ng]

so satisfying to not only see someone else encounter the fan UFO glitch, but also try to jump on it for a while just like I did 😂 great vid

[@abrahamsandwich]

Haha I finally landed in the fan too in one of my runs! 🤘🏻

[@LeeAndrewVideos]

That Royce fight really went well, I was expecting this one to not only take a while but be painful, really surprised. In patch 1.3 I had a knife & hacker build, was so much fun, but not managed to get anything like it in 1.6. This build of yours looks like a nice candidate.

[@Jonkleriscoololol]

Gordon Ramsey after chewing five gum

[@bulbadyshka]

Man, even though I haven't played Cyberpunk for like 3-4 month, every video you release about it just makes me wanna play it again. And as I saw your videos when I started my first playthrough, every video also brings the nostalgia of the moments when everything was new and every single minute spent in game was a new discovery. Makes me wanna lose my memory about the game and play it from scratch again. Thanks for your vids. They make me feel good every time.

[@abrahamsandwich]

I get that same feeling all the time! The first time playing it was so fun and interesting!

[@AaronKimmins]

Throwing knives are so fun... After putting in some practice, getting used to the mechanics, they are my go to in my melee builds early game. Can't get the monowire for a while but I can throw knives real quick!

[@AaronKimmins]

And love the @gordonramsay direction you went!

[@doraozuysal]

Changing the type of combat you play in different parts of the game could be fun. Ex. stealthy in Act 1, blades in Helman's arc, pistols in Takemura's... Kinda like a skill-upgrade run now that I look at what I wrote

[@junoasciimov3944]

This was the run I was excited for, and it's just as satisfying as I was hoping. Kudos.

[@michellamoureuxm]

I did my first ever playthrough with stealth throwing knives, thankfully I started just after the update that let us recover them. Had a ton of fun doing it this way, completely forgot about quick hacking that run lol

[@kislayparashar]

i think he knows rogue is in cahoots with you because rogue is the one who tracks down hellman for you and also if you do johnny sidequests, she comes with you to kill grayson, so he defs knows she is somewhat involved also love the vids, all the cyberpunk challenge runs are super fun

[@Shadethewolfy]

I always get thrown for an absolute loop when I'm watching these pre-2.0 videos and see the old perk screens. Oh man.

[@rosshaikenleonen1416]

After watching that long Adam smasher fight. It would be really nice if his last phase is that a container appears in some way, his lackeys show up, and he gets a new prototype body or something from that container and regens a quarter of his health instead of V bullying Adam Cripple. Gives the sensation of "You tried, but i'm just better" when you finally kill him.

[@arnowisp6244]

Yeah. The fact his fight goes from Hard to Easy towards the end.

[@AHHHHHHHH21]

When his nervous system is that damaged and beat up I don't think it's that easy to just plop his head on another body, you need full on surgery for that

[@Koi_Boi14]

I did this too on my run, It was a ton of fun and the best time I had in cyberpunk, just barely beating my snipers only run. Love seeing you have fun.

[@spiderz5145]

7:40 omg that was amazing. Excellent video btw, I’m loving these.

so the dodge slow down with the knife throw, "you were expecting gordon ramsey but no, it was me DIO!!"

[@NateDoes3D]

"what are you!?" "A gonk sandwich 😭"

[@Oddlysponge]

Throwing knives are honestly the most satisfying weapon to use in the game. Or well, the top one spot belongs to using savage sling to throw people off of high places and onto the cars below. So the top second spot.

[@lucaskelley]

We need a new version of this after all of the updates and iconic knives added

[@VVen0m]

My favourite build in this game is 3 throwing knives + Mantis Blades. So satisfying.

[@manleychenoweth8144]

Nice run, although Gordon Ramsay would've called smasher a f*cking donkey😂

[@abrahamsandwich]

Facts haha!

[@Samuel034]

I JUST got off from my first real play through and just discovered the joy of corpo three knife man insanity (and just how OP it is with headshots and stealth.) The speedy bois who can dodge just gets the quick hacks blind and then quietly CIA’d

[@freak0429]

At 41:24 you question why he mentions Rouge. He knows that we have the chip, he's been working with arasaka so its safe to assume he would know sort of.

Bold of Arasaka to cross a knife chucking maniac with MANY KNIVES

[@Hoigwai]

The orbiting fan thing. Yeah, I've gotten that a couple times, sometimes it will go away if you re-load, and other times after you jump-start the power but I've also had it hang around forever. My first play was a mixed bag of everything. 2nd one was hacking, 3rd was knives only, 4th was nanowire, 5th (2.0) was revised hacking and my 6th right now is katana/knife with no chrome other than the starting eyes and grip. The Chimera was the insanity of juking and avoiding stomps/poison clouds. I'm going to take a break after this play with 747 hours currently. I think my next I will do a Gorilla arms only build and I hope Orion will be much closer to release.

[@crusadr_4966]

Dayum and bro did this all without any of the Unique knives. Hats off to you man

[@Diegothefox-q6s]

yes you can, prior to the knife patch about a year ago it wouldn't have been possible but now, easy as pie, it's quite strong

[@abrahamsandwich]

Yeah probably would have been a lot harder.

Always love watching your challenge runs. And the way you become hung up on little things, like in some of the first ones where you always played Roach Race, or commented on Yorinobu and Saburo's tap dance off. And this one, with the random ceiling fan loading in at the raffen shiv ambush section, hilarious. Keep up the great work!

[@dominicsunton2551]

I can just imagine Yorinobo Arasaka watching the replay footage, and seeing Smasher (supposedly the strongest person ever) get absolutely destroyed by some guy dressed as gorden ramsey throwing knives at him.

[@chris.6349]

My coworker kept on telling me about his cyberpunk build every time i worked with him. He kept on messing up his sword build so he restarted the game like 5 times. Anyways he messed up the last time and said "im just going to the guy to i can pay for a respec of my build". He played 70 hours of the game constantly restarted when he found he could have just paid to fix his build.

[@abrahamsandwich]

Oof that’s rough.

[@thecolonel63]

15:23 had me crying

[@GuyFromCanada]

These types of runs are my favourite. They’re not hard just for hard sake, they require a certain set of skills, and at the end, turn out pretty powerful

[@BlackWolf41529]

Christ on a stick throwing knifes are more op than I thought. Great challenge video. Hope you do challenges that are builds from other game characters or people in like. Like Joshua Graham.

[@rhodes3983]

On my current run my only two weapons are my cyberdeck and my throwing knife. I also have Johnny's pistol but I have like zero points in firearms and all of them in hacking and stealth soooo...

[@varmdurd7417]

After phantom liberty this knifes only run is alot more doable

[@dredgen0268]

I love your vids and your streams! Out of curiosity what’s your favorite build to run?

[@abrahamsandwich]

I think my favorite is my gunslinger build! It requires a fair amount skill and it has crazy good damage!

[@FangornAthran]

These are great videos! One possible run suggestion would be a full non-lethal stealth run (well as much as possible). You can use quickhacks and any weapons you chose but can't use the cyberware that makes all your attacks non-lethal as that would just trivialize everything. Also goal is to be as stealthy as possible, ideally never be seen but I understand there are parts where that isn't really achievable.

[@abrahamsandwich]

I mean I a did a pacifist run 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Stoic_grimace]

Schwing! Would love to see some Skyrim playthroughs. Maybe you'll meet Reanu Keeves carrying a fork 😉

[@abrahamsandwich]

[@-Titania]

The heist makes replayability much lower and irritating. I was playing today and I had got a low level sandevistan in waston before the heist I then got yorinobus pistol and the katana from the roof (I have been getting really good at stealth but if there was to many enemies I'd just resort to a power shotgun that could charge and shoot through walls. I had gotten better versions of the gun while farming street cred) but then I used the silencer and made it through the next part with the camera by shooting the camera with my silenced pistol. Then I picked up a sidewinder from one of the guards and it was over I just mowed them down with the smart bullets but when I got to the part outside with the drones chasing delamaine I got reminded of how hard it was for me to pass this section last time and I got irritated after a couple trys. My character is some levels higher than they should be for the heist and so I figured I'd shoot them down with ease but nada. And with the silencer it deals less damage. Why can't I have a smart pistol or something. The drones don't even stay steady enough to shoot.

[@skeletonbirdanimations7486]

Tip for matilda you can steal her hammer (at the corner across from the one you enter from) and then sneak up to sneak attack, much like the mech cyber psychos this disables healing and cuts out 25% of her health, fight is a cakewalk after

[@dankerbell]

if it does damage that fails the challenge

How about a high noon, rootin tootin revolver QuickDraw play through?

[@roboter3254]

Seems like the fan is still in the correct place inside the building, but its blades are shifted so the fan spinning makes them fly in circles. That would be the same as a character with one of the body parts shifted somewhere, when that character turns that one part will circle around because it has to stay on the same side at all times. I think I've seen this before not with body parts but guns.
