All I hear when you speak about the bloom is that I finally have an excuse for my storm trooper aim. Also, from what I've heard, there are two ways of dodging grabs: running away at the perfect angle (can't confirm) and crouching (only works on non-plagas enemies, so not the broken neck ganados).

[@TheWildSlayer]

Not sure if it's common knowledge or if it was just luck but Leon can actually dodge a grab if you run diagonally away from them, causing the grab to only catch an arm allowing Leon to shake them off and keep running. Happened to me once so people would have to confirm it.

[@grandpurrsuivant5779]

@welowrider32 Yeah, that happened to me a few times, but I never actually tested to confirm how to do it. What I can confirm is that crouching will evade most of the enemy grab attempt animation. However, when an enemy's grab attempt is about to end, they sort of stumble and reach dowards, and that is the part of their grab that can still catch you even while crouching. So, the best thing to do is crouch while walking to the side to get out of the enemy's trail before their grab attempt ends.

[@juanmejiagomez5514]

@@grandpurrsuivant5779 I got grabbed a lot while crouching, but not when I crouched last second, so my theory is that the crouch kind of works like a dodge for grabs and punches, meaning that you can’t just be crouching the whole time but you actually have to time it properly

Sharing information is also about building on it and double-checking its application. If one person discovers a technique, they can use only that one technique. But there is a high chance that it's the lynchpin to discovering several other techniques that the original finder would never have figured out on their own. They also may not have considered additional contexts in which it can be used because of the way human memory focuses on associating information with the location or context in which it was learned. Sharing discoveries leads to more discoveries that will help everyone in the long term, including the original finder

you can reduce the effects of bloom by a ton by standing still, not moving leon or the crosshair, it is doable but messy for something like water hall archers, but super reliable for something like destroying catapults from a safe distance

[@carljohan9265]

I think it's mainly because it's the red 9 with no stock. The inaccuracy contra high firepower is kind of the point of the gun. Blacktail for example has a much smaller maximum bloom and focuses the crosshair faster.

The bloom is balanced out by having the ability to hold still and the crosshairs will get smaller. The red9 is by far the least accurate handgun, which is why I use the black tail. Fully upgraded, you won’t really know the difference in power, but it’s so much more accurate. The red9 requires more patience to get good accuracy out by holding as still as possible. Bloom is how they’ve balanced our moving while shooting, it requested you to hold still to get off accurate shots, so you can’t just move all the time and kill everything like the doom slayer lol. Is it somewhat random where the Bullet goes? Yes, but you can control the size of the bloom and how you use it to be near perfect in accuracy and precision.

I understand bloom in games where you can aim down sights, or as representation of shotgun blast radius.

Only problem with guns like the red9 is you can’t move the crosshair either without the bloom activating again so sway tends to not let you do that

[@user-cg6xq6lh6j]

You can save a ton of ammo on the Salazar fight, throw a golden egg at him and he's almost dead

[@TomahawkFoss]

I’m currently going for Frugalist, Minimalist, and silent stranger. (No Merchant. No healing. Only knife and handgun) All at the same time. Wish me luck!

[@alexguzman230]

Pure adulterated no grass power! Krouser would be proud

[@rotface6969]

lmao the sped up death grips track was killing me

[@avocadothecat]

man, him roasting standard as easy makes me feel even more shit for dying so often in standard >.< Also you can 2 shot Salazar with 2 golden Eggs btw

[@J0hnRatcliffe]

Use the Gold Egg on Salazar. Regardless of difficulty it does 70% damage

[@theguy6680]

How to beat plantera from Terraria you got to spin around a circle and use weapons like the death sickle the razorblade typhoon the chlorophyte shot bow the mega shark the uzi the Superstar shooter the bubble gun the tsunami the Daedalus stormbow those weapons delete plantera and destroy her tendrils

[@autisticcrusader1915]

I just completed this challenge on Hardcore. I did use the Sentinel Nine and the skull shaker to save inventory space(plus very occasional bonus weapons when I had absolutely no ammo). It was still pretty challenging considering I had to use boot knives up until the Krauser boss fight, then save the primal knife for the final boss.

[@shredertank1575]

Yes theres an challange gives you achievment for doing it its called the silent stranger theres also one for completing the game with pistol and knife only and one for not using any recovery items for the whole game

[@theguy6680]

I like the end you are eating goldfish

[@Thwal]

I love re4 remake, but my only gripe is the way the game handles enemies. The game does this wave thing with enemies and it can get really annoying sometimes. Had a lot of ammo? Well get ready for 3 waves of enemies that spawn out of nowhere and now u have 20 spare handgun bullets for the next section of the game. As much as I'm complaining though I absolutely adore this game and it's one of my favorite RE games ever so I would still recommend it 👌

[@zacnate100]

Knowing how Salazar can be almost entirely taken care of by hitting him in the face with a golden egg saved so much ammo for me on my first time through. I imagine if there was a speedrun category for no merchant in this version of the game, itd be a big thing to get the two golden eggs before the fight to allow you to skip the entire fight.

[@groklok4377]

Did you not get the LE5? It’s in the room with the Wrench Regenerator

[@PeakWheat]

Probably because inventory space

[@archbishopofthecrusades9579]

​@PeakWheat tbh I don't think he even knew about it or the auto sniper, else he would've mentioned it at the start when talking about weapons you don't need to buy, and consideringtheres mechanics he doesnt even know about like lettibg leon aim for a second makes the crosshair smaller abd eliminate the bloom he complained so much about. But you're right he wouldn't have been able to pick it up anyway unless he thought it was a worthy trade with the shotgun or red 9

Once upon a time there was a lovely princess. But she had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken by love's first kiss. She was locked away in a castle guarded by a terrible fire-breathing dragon. Many brave knigts had attempted to free her from this dreadful prison, but non prevailed. She waited in the dragon's keep in the highest room of the tallest tower for her true love and true love's first kiss. {Laughing} Like that's ever gonna happen. {Paper Rusting, Toilet Flushes} What a load of - Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed She was lookin' kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb In the shape of an "L" on her forehead The years start comin' and they don't stop comin' Fed to the rules and hit the ground runnin' Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do so much to see So what's wrong with takin' the backstreets You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey, now You're an all-star Get your game on, go play Hey, now You're a rock star Get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shootin' stars break the mold It's a cool place and they say it gets colder You're bundled up now but wait till you get older But the meteor men beg to differ Judging by the hole in the satellite picture The ice we skate is gettin' pretty thin The water's getting warm so you might as well swim My world's on fire How 'bout yours That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored Hey, now, you're an all-star {Shouting} Get your game on, go play Hey, now You're a rock star Get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shootin' stars break the mold {Belches} Go!

[@On_Beat]

Right. Well, that's good for ten shillings, if you can prove it. -Oh, go ahead, little fella. -Well? -Oh, oh, he's just - - He's just a little nervous. He's really quite a chatterbox. Talk, you boneheaded dolt - - -That's it. I've heard enough. Guards! -No, no, he talks! He does. I can talk. I love to talk.

He's getting away! {Grunts, Gasps} {Man} -Get him! This way! Turn! -You there. Orge! -Aye? -By the order of Lord Farquaad I am authorized to place you both under arrest and transport you to a designated..... resettlement facility. -Oh, really? You and what army? {Gasps, Whimpering} {Chuckles} -Can I say something to you? -Listen, you was really, really, really somethin' back here. Incredible! Are you talkin' to - - me? Whoa! -Yes. I was talkin' to you. Can I tell you that you that you was great back here? Those guards! They thought they was all of that. Then you showed up, and bam! They was trippin' over themselves like babes in the woods. That really made me feel good to see that. -Oh, that's great. Really. -Man, it's good to be free. -Now, why don't you go celebrate your freedom with your own friends? Hmm?

-Princess, I was sent to rescue you by Lord Farquaad, okay? He is the one who wants to marry you. -Then why didn't he come rescue me? -Good question. You should ask him that when we get there. -But I have to be rescued by my true love, not by some prge and his- - his pet. -So much for noble steed. -You're not making my job any easier. -I'm sorry, but your job is not my problem. You can tell Lord Farquaad that if he wants to rescue me properly, I'll be waiting for him right here. -Hey! I'm no one's messenger boy, all right? I'm a delivery boy. -You wouldn't dare.

Say there's a woman that digs you, right, but you don't really like her that way.

There is something that I see In the way you look at me There's a smile There's a truth In your eyes What an unexpected way On this unexpected day Could it be This is where I belong It is you I have loved All long There's no more mystery It is finally clear to me You're the home my heart's searched for So long It is you I have loved All long Whoa, over and over I'm filled with emotion As I look Into your perfect face

[@starwolf5060]

There is a way to weave the grabbers. You can walk a little to the side, then sprint the other way, and they will most likely miss. Shoot them in the back of the knee and german suplex to victory

[@starwolf5060]

It's also nice to keep the first pistol for shooting barrels and having spare ammo in a gun to quickly switch to

[@sandkeeper219]

This was my first question when I started playing this game

[@arthurkurbedzis]

For now, it feels like a platinum trophy due to S+ requirement is for me something impossible.

[@GameslordXY]

So,shooting the church bell in the Village ends the chapter. It's possible with the sniper ,but with the pistol I am usure.

[@MFPICKLEO]

for someone that uses machine girl music in every video there is suprisingly a lack of neon white speed run videos

[@localcancersurvivor]

Do you think there will be a RE4 REMAKE randomizer in the future?

[@broadcastdadgelow]

Did you know you can crouch the church bell while scoped in to skip the bloom on the single moms

[@EchoDragonHawk]

I was just about to write that to him he might as well use that strategy it’s perfect for speed runs you can just skip the village all together 💯🔥
