I Quit This Challenge...

[@seattlekarim964]

There is reason to believe that normal has gotten more difficult. The difficulty of a level is determined primarily by the clear rate. As the game gets older, the average player gets more experienced and better.

[@erichluepke855]

100%. I've never played the game but I've noticed that Panga's older normal levels are downright easy

[@ItsMrBozToYou]

Also, a mass influx of really skilled players doing levels in one go makes them seem too easy for this difficulty, thus forcing harder/jankier levels to be a higher percentage of nornal levels.

[@xorg123]

Iron bros runs are very entertaining to watch but they are probably frustrating to conduct for the same reasons...

[@AdBlock-User]

I like regular runs then iron bro's. I warched GPB quite often. But now that he stopped play MM2 I found Panga and what a relief. Also thought GPB became like many other youtubers when they start to become "famous" that they lose their drive and become more egotistical. With Panga, it is so far the opposite. Plus Penga is clearly much nicer and distributes hearts (likes) to other players than GPB did. Which in my eyes is so much better content and entertaining.

I don't blame you. The way it started out with the stupid, arbitrary rules about pausing and changing comment status turned me off immediately. Even with the pausing thing being amended it still sucks. Normal levels are not particularly fun to watch. It's usually simple to the point of monotony, or ends with a stupid oversight from the level creator. I'll be glad to watch you do something else.

Day 348 of posting a cool animal fact: Have you ever wondered why birds such as ducks, geese and swans waddle when they walk? There are two reasons. One, their legs are set further back. This to help them paddle through the water more quickly, but on land it's a lot more awkward. Two, duck feet don't have nerves or blood vessels in them, which means they can't feel anything. Due to both these factors, they have a hard time walking!

Yeah I don't think that this challenge is fitting your play style. You're at our best when it comes to speedrun and optimization. Those challenge like ironbros and super expert with skip are for people who are very patient and meticulous (like Roryu). That's why I think your best videos are the ninji's challenge and taking world records from other people.

Never really understood the hype around doing things GPB does. Just tends to make the game too restricted and unfun for me - I remember first trying to watch him during the 1000 endless expert and it was just like watching someone stare at a life counter and complain. At least panga puts some fun into challenges, but this is just obviously frustrating for no good reason.

Day 6 of asking Panga to ban Daniel De Leon

[@Henson222]

This is a pure "only luck" challenge. I can understand, if you quit.

[@BaneWilliams]

Strong disagree. Speedrunners want to go as fast as possible 100% of the time, and don't learn to stop and measure each situation. Panga is a fantastic player, but more than half the deaths in all of iron bros have been because he didn't take time to consider what the situation could be before commiting to it. He was getting better at that as time went on, and there was a marked improvement recently. But I understand stopping due to lack of enjoyment

[@eclipseeffigy]

​@@BaneWilliams Panga will die to timing out or the level softlocking him because of jank or bad design, and even then people say it's him rushing instead of being patient. Sure those deaths happen sometimes but they're a small minority, not "more than half" of his deaths.

[@BaneWilliams]

@@eclipseeffigy I literally have a spreadsheet of all his deaths in ironbros and if they were reasonably avoidable or not. I wasn't even being pedantic with most deaths, I have three labels, entirely avoidable, avoidable jank, and not avoidable. For instance, his death in this episode to breaking the pow while the thwomp was in the wrong state was 'avoidable jank'. If he stopped and considered why the pow was there, it is reasonable to assume it's for the thwomp, as it is after the enemies. So it was avoidable in that his brain should have realised that, but it was still jank. Another cause of some deaths 'which are listed on the sheet as 'entirely avoidable' are logical leaps that someone who has played traditional mario games would make, but he doesn't, because he has mostly not played them.

I get wanting to take a break from this challenge or stopping it completely, but there's a simple solution to that that doesn't involve stopping or taking a break or playing against your will. After this attempt you just don't play this challenge again until you want to. If you never want to you'll never play it again and if you want to you will. No stopping or breaks required. I played soccer as a kid. I don't know. Am I on a break or did I quit? Neither. I just don't feel like playing soccer and if I ever do, I will.
