Hey Nathaniel, I don't know if RubberDuckyAssassin mentioned it in his talks with you, but I'm currently the only one (as far as I know) that has done a full challenge board speedrun of Brawl without using hammers. It took me almost 80 hours with somewhat optimized routing, so it's definitely not an easy task. I would be happy to help you out a bit with the sticker/trophy routing for the game if you do get enough likes to try again, since I have a good amount of ideas from my run and what you attempted here that could potentially spare you some pain next time around. If nothing else, I respect you for trying the full challenge - I genuinely hallucinated a bit during my run, so I can't imagine doing it for almost two weeks straight. It truly is a mind-numbing challenge haha

[@NathanielBandy]

I don't think he mentioned you! If you have contacts with him, feel free to shoot him a message since I might come back to this and finish getting 100% in Brawl eventually

[@filthyscrubVODs]

@NathanielBandy he asked me a couple of questions about stickers/subspace enemies when he was talking to you, but I'll be sure to keep on the radar if/when you try again!

[@fedora1776]

So I checked the doc and as someone who has 100% the game here’s some useful information: - for one it’s important to remember where certain items are in the shop. Misc. fighters spirits like Koopalings and player 2 characters are in the shop. - Also for spirit battles equip eithier Medusa or the great zapfish to be giant and then play Ganon or Pyra and just mash smash attacks to quicken the spirit battles - I also recommend using the hammers for taking out the online challenges and that Sunday flash sale if your not doing this during a Sunday - All the smash challenge can be easily done it’s just setting up the rule sets that are annoying but for example for the robin flurry kill on a level 9 cpu just do it on a walkoff and Ridley skewer either a a level 1 cpu or you control the character. That’s some advice I can give great video

[@SonicTheCutehog]

You technically can't 100% Melee without hacking because of the Mario & Yoshi and Samus Unmasked trophies and the milestone obtained from getting them along with every other trophy.

[@Dark14Bruh]

🤓☝️

[@mxm8029]

You ain't wrong. So technically without hacking it isn't possible

Would it really count for a non-Japanese version though?

[@SonicTheCutehog]

@ It's still in non-Japanese versions

[@AyyKayy-n3u]

​@nintendo-relatedchannel5810 it's almost like a Pokemon event, where you had to physically be there to "upload the trophies" to your memory card. What this actually did was unlock them from deep within the game's code. Both the Mario & Yoshi and Samus Unmasked trophies are on the Melee disc, it's just a matter of how you obtain them legitimately. In this case, it's never unless you hack the game and unlock them that way.

For the new timer, I'd go for 224 hours as the new amount, that's 16 hour days for 2 weeks. or round it down to 200 hours, to cover the bathroom and meal breaks and setups etc etc. being about an hour and 40 mintes a day removed from the timer equivelant.

Good lord, yes PLEASE pause the timer in the future. I can't imagine the stress of having it constantly going. You need to be able to have time off in-between the challenges, otherwise you'll go insane. It'll also give you the benefit of actually *taking days off.* I'm certain that, with the extra rest, managing your mental health, and having more control over the timer, challenges are going to be FAR more enjoyable, and even a bit easier to complete! Either way, I wouldn't beat yourself up too much over not finishing all the smash games. You took on a monster of a project, and the fact you got as much as you did done is insane!! Well done, and please get some rest!!

Ngl Nathaniel, I 1000000000000000000% percent agree with you about the timer. Your not playing the game, if your sleeping and the like. If that timer is one while your said sleeping and such, the game is more playing you. Like with the 2d mario 100%ing you did, you where reviewing mario kart at the same time, so that's LOADS of time chewed up. (I think it's the mario vid. Mainly have your vids for background noise as I play a buggy game.) So, feel free to stretch your rules as much as you need! We're all rooting for you each time in every way!

I agree with the idea of pausing the timer for breaks, not only do you have so much more control over your life style and can take care of your mental health, but it also makes more sense for the challenge, it's 2 in-game weeks, two actual weeks of time spent soley in the game, instead of being 2 irl weeks, it makes more sense imo, and even tho some people may disagree and think that 2 irl weeks is better, in my personal opinion, the risk is not worth it, and nobody knows how devastating the 2 irl week format is more than Nathaniel himself at this point, so I stand with the decision

Insane Video and it was really fun to watch. I actually did all challanges on Brawl, Smash 3DS, Smash Wii U and Ultimate without ever using a hammer. I did not do it in 2 weeks of course, I think Brawl and Smash Wii U took me several weeks or months at that time, but I did not feel like its really 100% when I use a hammer. So I still have all hammers left while every achievement is unlocked. And yes, a lot of the challanges are annoying, like completing All Star with every char, but it is not meant to be done so quick. I had fun with it, cause I did it over a long time and when I felt like playing Smash, I could just hop in there alone or with a friend and play the game. It never felt exhausting.

Hey NB, awesome video! I wanted to share my ideas on how you can continue the series going forward. I’m so happy for you announcing format changes to prioritize your health. I’ve really enjoyed the marathon formatting you’ve had so far because of how you’re able to essentially turn each day into a story for us. It’s a really nice digestible format that leaves super nice stopping points for these longer videos. So what if you kept the “marathon” format similar to how it is, but set limits on playtime per day (10 hours per day?) and don’t have to play all (or any) of the days in a row. You can even keep the clock counting down the number of playing days left and hours left in the session for viewers to see. Another way to continue the series is move away from the “marathon” schtick and really focus on the development and execution of these speedrun routes you’re developing. I really admire the effort you’re putting into the development of these speedrun routes and enjoy when you talk about these optimizations, and I imagine many of your other viewers do as well. You could publish videos answering how long it takes to 100% the game(s) and dive into these routes and how you’re minimizing time loss. Thanks again for taking the time to make all this amazing content for us. Wishing you all the best!
