The one good thing about Love Slap we can all agree on: the sound effect is very satisfying

[@fictionalmediabully9830]

It also pierces through defense without using FP like Piercing Blow, so that's two good things.

[@StudiosGATO]

Its like the balanced version of the bow slap

[@hypotheticaltapeworm]

​@@StudiosGATOmore like a weaker version of Watt's Electro Dash. It does less damage and can only hit grounded opponents. It's also way less effective than stuff like Power Bounce/Multibonk, which can easily cause damage in the double digits. Bow's Slap was balanced by the fact it was a multi-hit, making it ineffective against enemies with Defense. Yoshi's Ground Pound works closer to that.

[@supernova9014]

Honestly, I was half-expecting the cursed run to cap off with the all Dull Bones audience and go kaput right there for lack of SP. However, with how impressively you performed here (Supernova BM included), I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to work around Dull Bones with Appeals. Good stuff.

[@gravity8120]

It might've not mattered too much since Koop relegated Mowz to Appeal duty due to Love Slap generating basically no SP anyway. Would've taken longer for sure though.

I know we usually give ms mows crap as a partner in this game, but she put in WORK 😂

[@gravity8120]

Do people give her crap simply because she's the weakest or is there more behind the story?

[@GMHGames]

​@@gravity8120it's because her skills are semi useless in the modern age of the internet where we can Google all the treasures plus she only has love slap in battle arsenal. Smooch is fine but you can heal Mario in other ways or dodge with Vivian and stealing badges and items is not super helpful if you have the item or badge already.

[@Sephiroth08150]

​@@gravity8120She is not too bad for a partner - having a basic attack that bypasses enemy's Defense means you can bring her in when you need to save FP, Smooch can save you if you don't have any items left, Tease is a bit RNG, but can make enemies miss... All that sounds great on paper, but then you have Goombella, Baby Yoshi and Vivian, who you get through the story, have more useful abilities and you may have upgraded already. It's really a case of "why should I use a newcomer when my team is already stacked?". She tells you where treasures are, but let's face it, people nowdays will look the location of hidden stuff online instead of doing it themselves. In this case, Internet killed the Mowz. There is one thing about Mowz that actually makes her useful, as seen in the video - since she can't do too much against bosses aside from attacking or healing Mario with the cost-heavy Smooch, she can get to use Appeal to fill up the SP. Other partners always seems to have something else/better to do.

[@StrangeMetaphorEnthusiast]

6:56 Wait. I didn't know you could superguard with defensive action storage. For some reason I thought you would always get hit. Anyway good job with the clear.

[@XavierTheFallenHuman]

Can you explain to me what defensive action storage is? I can't seem to find a good explanation anywhere

[@StrangeMetaphorEnthusiast]

@@XavierTheFallenHuman So here's my understanding of it: When Mario and his partner are attacked in quick succession of each other, whichever defensive action is taken by whomever is in the front will also act upon whomever is in the back. But if for some reason one of these attacks misses the front character, but hits the back character, the game will instead use the last defensive action that had occurred to determine which defensive action that character should take. In the timestamp that I was talking about Ms. Mowz superguarded the breath attack because at 5:58 Mario superguarded the stomp, and no more defensive actions took place within that time frame. Conversely, if he'd been hit by the stomp he would have also been hit by the breath for the same reason. I was just confused because I thought that the game wouldn't know what to do if this happened, and would always make you take damage by default. But I guess I was wrong about that. Been playing this game for eight years now, and I'm still learning new things about it lol.

[@varietygamer95]

@@StrangeMetaphorEnthusiastDude, I’ve been playing this game for almost twenty years and I’m still learning new things about it. That actually explains a lot; I thought I just had to time the second character’s guard perfectly and I was getting lucky every time. I just don’t understand why the front character fails to block but the back one succeeds at times

[@gravity8120]

@@StrangeMetaphorEnthusiast I still don't understand; how do you know that's defensive action storage and not Koop just superguarding the attack with Mowz? Didn't the breath miss because of the Lucky Day badge kicking in, which should be independent of any defensive action taken, during that turn or the turn prior?

[@webbowser8834]

So a couple of random questions 1. IIRC this was a challenge run to only use badges found in the pit. If that's the case, why do you have so much BP? Wouldn't it be better to spend some of that on extra FP? Or was that part of the challenge? 2. I believe Mario has a second stylish input on his base hammer attack, but I noticed you were not using it. Does it also not give any extra SP like the Love Slap stylish, or did you just forget about it in the heat of the moment?

[@Koopatrol]

1. SPOILERS: This was not a real challenge run, hence why I call it cursed. I used cheats to give myself random-ass stats and warp myself to Floor 99 just to set up a ridiculous one-off scenario where Tease might be useful. (And that fight still took 10 tries... so f*** Tease and its uselessness even in that situation.) I was also not planning to do the Bonetail fight, but seeing how well the Floor 99 video did, I thought why not. 2. Does not give extra SP.

[@webbowser8834]

@@Koopatrol Carry on. Appreciate the explanation. I legit did not know some stylish inputs don't give SP (makes me feel a little silly for always doing all the silly flips after Power Hammer, but they were fun so whatever).

[@iamkakashi20]

very nice. and you were at right level for this.

[@justad00d76]

just sharing in case it's niche knowledge, but when you do Mario's stylish command and backflip after the hammer, you can also tap A when he lands and get a second "stylish" command (he raises his hands up like an acrobat doing a perfect dismount). A lot of attacks actually have multiple "stylish" opportunities that you can stack. Koops' powershell breakdance can end with a pose if you press A as he's ending the spin, for example, and headbonk type attacks let you press A at the apex of the jump one time after each bounce off the enemy, or with some characters, the chance for the second "stylish" command is available during walk back across the stage, etc. With the power hammer, you can actually do a ton of backflips one after another and get a special sound effect when you do the last "dismount" pose. Idk, just play around with it, there's a lot more button spamming available than you'd guess at first glance

[@MisterAssasine]

they know about 2nd hammer stylish and I expect the other stylishes as well - for hammer they didnt choose it as it doesnt give extra sp. Guess the same for the other abilities

[@justad00d76]

Wait, does it really not increase the amount of sp you earn? That doesn't make sense to me 🤔 like, that would mean the only point to pressing A would be to amuse yourself

[@Koopatrol]

Subsequent stylishes bring in more audience members, nothing more.

[@justad00d76]

@robertwyatt3912 it's a remake. The assets are completely new, so it makes it a remake. A remaster would just be scaling it up and making sure it works, while adding QOL improvements. A re-release is a remaster but without the QOL, and a re-imagining is a different game with the same plot and characters.

[@stronautninjatoxic]

​​​@@BlueBerry20071 Spoiler alert if you care. Also, great job with your definitions in the reply. They kinda did nerf it. Probably not in an intentional way though. Now you're able to retry right from any battle you die at, including bosses, which means Bonetail too. A good part, in this case, is that this is optional, and you can still retry from the last save instead to make it harder for yourself, if preferred. Tbh, this might've been the best way to do it.

Looking a lot like a Prologue Pit of 100 Trials Bonetail fight, this. Mostly the Sweet Treat spam.

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

I always assumed it was because the game interpreted the first "hits" of Love Slap as attacks that do 0 damage, and thus the entire attack gets the "failed attack" penalty for some mysterious reason

​​@@jimmygarza8896 Yeah, it's not useful at the point in the game you're supposed to get it, but on its own, I would say it's pretty good. It would make a lot of fights in the early-mid game easier, not to mention that it's literally just a permanent Spite Pouch, making the entire Item obsolete... although all of these arguments are invalidated by the first thing I said. REMAKE SPOILERS I know this doesn't apply to this version of the game, so feel free to ignore this part, but there's also 1 new fight you're intended to do during the post-game, which the badge can help for. There's also another one only accessible at the bottom of the Pit after beating Bonetail, and Return Postage could help on the way (although not for the actual boss.)
