The Pawns Have Evolved to Hold SPEARS!

SG King: The Final Checkmate Part 19 - that might get in the way of my blade build. It's rank 9, and this may be the first difficulty to finally get me. Strap in tight, it's gonna be a good fight.

It's pretty clever to try and "trick" the algorithm by omitting 'Shotgun' in the title and description + shortening the game name into SG King.

[@jaymoney5090]

I just hope it works! All the regulars here know the game from the thumbnail anyway, so all good by me

[@jack229111]

Fun fact, taunting hop's extra turn works with soul cards, so you can rook, bishop or queen hop from a distance and get the extra turn

[@MistressNebula]

Yes, you can chain as many extra turns as you want as long as you're getting them from different effects.

Gonna suggest this here too: a match where you flood the board with as many pieces as you can. Also, hi Edit Tylerer's, you're doing great.

[@maxyang3386]

You know Tyler's "Never pick Court of the King" rule? Yeah, that's there for a good reason. Add enough pieces and they'll checkmate you within ten turns.

6:16 You also neutred youre chances of secret ending as theocracy, the other card needed for it, only appears if there are 2 or more bishops Edit: a little game knowledge for ya btw, i believe secret heir activation counts as an enemy turn of sorts, you wont die if you discovery check to a rook behind a king with a secret heir (i think this could be wrong),what i do know tho is that secret heir doesnt properly activate during the boss fight, so you dont have to go out of your way to look for it

[@DragoonDyte]

Fun Fact: as the Move Indicator says when you select a piece, the Boss King can only move horizontally or vertically, he’s restricted from diagonals

[@pyromainia4710]

I love how the white cards he got kinda tell a story if you rearrange them. King had a secret mistress which lead to a secret heir. To keep the secret, the King put the son into the army and made it so everyone would get Pikeman training so he'd be safer. Then the bishops started to read from the red book, only to be overthrown by the pawns... Funny little coincidence here

[@user-wh5qv7rk4t]

Cool

[@DiamondRoller37]

(Potentially) fun challenge idea: normal game but you try to build a synergy for white rather than yourself

[@MistressNebula]

That is asking for death on any difficulty above rank 1

[@michaeljonathan9715]

Unless you want to do an achievement that 0,1% players have. Or for secret ending because it's card let bishop leader escape almost all the time assuming they aren't out of materials to not be a cowardly.

[@ejnemo7037]

hopefully the game title edit works better for the algorithm

[@Viscidsquare040]

8:58 I’m pretty sure Secret Heir gives you an extra turn when the heir spawns so you’d still be fine

[@AceFuzzLord]

You never realize how hard some of these games he plays are until you play them. I got a copy of this a while ago and it definitely is difficult enough that my usual play style for games tend to cause me to lose more often than not Also, within my first few games I unlocked the 4 blade required gun and have been constantly using it because "why not?" logic

[@ddunfuh9239]

From my experience in shotgun king, the blade gun ‘nakeda’ and the three shot gun ‘Richard III’ are the worst in the game due to their low base damage and the extra shot or melee aren’t worth it, the starting gun ‘solomon’ and the knockback gun ‘Ramesses II’ are the mid tier guns and the one you chose depends on if you’re willing to trade fire arc for knock back and finally the single shot gun ‘Victoria’ is the best gun in the game due to its ability to 1 shot all pieces before cards are added

He's too good and entertaining lol. His playthrough of Card Sharks made the game appear to be even though in reality its medicore playing it yourself.

The speed of an unit counts as how long it takes before it moves. The higher the amount, the slower the piece is.

[@yousseftamer4943]

I really wanna see if a 360 degree arc is possible. Also I love the blade, best strat ever, especially with Bushido

[@blackbot7113]

14:20 "I don't wanna risk chaining extra turns just in case it fails" he says, just after chaining extra turns. 😄 EDIT: Though maybe he meant blade-soul-blade-normal, so getting two Bushido turns before taking the regular turn. That'd make sense. 🤔

[@Infernallosu]

You should do a run (probably on an easier difficulty) where you just pick the best synergies for white

[@zarnox3071]

By the way Tyler, hitboxes take up the entire tile the piece is on, so if the fire arc fits within the tile an enemy is on, every pellet will pass through that tile (assuming you don't have Saboteur doubling the arc of some bullets). The best example of this is that it is practically impossible to shoot an enemy diagonally from you if you have two enemies adjacent to you orthogonally.

[@lava2istrue]

Taunting hop is actually quite a bit better than it seems at face value; since it counts as a move, and as such let’s you regenerate ammo or reload your gun.

[@plasmapea1704]

If you want the secret ending you need to leave a bishop alive with the red book at the boss then there are 2 endings that come from it if you have a shotgun shell in the chamber you destroy the book when you kill the black bishop if you don’t have a shell in the chamber it gets passes to a white pawn and it’s the end

[@karanrime8948]

as I recall, theocracy will only show up if white has at least three bishops already, so trimming the number of bishops down removed it from the pool.

[@PopeMical]

It only needs 2+ bishops, not 3, but yeah when he went back down to 1 bishop it meant his last 4 cards couldn't be theocracy.

[@enderwiggin9155]

Don't sleep on Taunting Hop. I did that too because it used to be unplayable, but you get an extra action whenever you use it, which is absurdly powerful actually.

Taunting hop can deal with kite shields easily. Sadly, the pawns having this much range makes it a dangerous idea. I guess not taking it wasn't really a bad choice.

[@drottningu]

Blade build is so satisfying.

[@swordzanderson5352]

The thing about Sacred Crown is, when you get it, and you use soul cards EVERY time you get one to get MORE soul cards, you practically have twic the amount of turns of white, and just one extra turn is already insane. Imagine an entire 100% extra, and that's not counting bushido. The white pieces are basically paralysed because to them, you're moving at 3 times the speed of normal humans and picking their people off before they can even react.

[@sawchuk519]

The casual disrespect for taunting hop here is brutal. I generally consider it to be the strongest card in the game. It allows you to move for free on most turns. Moving for free allows you to reload without spending a turn, gives you free ammo regen and allows you more options to flee check since you can move twice in 1 turn. It also allows you to move into check to kill things with blade which is handy.
