[@jonathonvoegtli4699]

I knew about 6 of these. The game crashing ones and the tech duplicates I didn't realize. I've played and loved this game for nearly 25 years of my life. This is the perfect game in my eyes

[@Bdewd]

Its truly a masterpiece

[@alexmorpheus6762]

Thank you for this tip. Just started Chrono Trigger today on steam. The Guardian boss was hard but I managed to "breakdown" it. Tomorrow I'm going to Proto Dome and find Robo. 😊

[@Meidoification]

So... did you finish it?! OH MY GOD WHAT DO YOU THINK?!

[@jerryg4534]

same with me. dude kicked my butt three times and i finally conquered

[@rastaboy_gamesnstuff7778]

Did you get "robo rolled" ? 😅

[@Arielcorn]

Those are indeed ten things I did not know about Chrono Trigger, a game that I have never played!

[@retropwn7596]

Your loss

[@NewKasuto]

FYI Spekkio’s look is dependent totally on the party leader’s level. If you want to see Spekkio as a frog, then you simply keep Crono below level 10 before reaching the End of Time the first time.

[@MrEvilbyte]

I only knew about the Frog Spekkio. It got to a point I had to run from every encounter, and the R series boss still almost pushed me over the level threshhold.

[@Bdewd]

We see him in the speedruns due to a specific route we take. But its a decently fine line to stay under 10 due to boss exp alone

[@Greysmdl]

As a veteran of the game, and casual speed runner, I am impressed that I did not know about the last one. I vaguely remember a graphical glitch on ps1 hardware when you go to "save" Marle with just Crono. One of the battles on the left side of the forest upon defeating an enemy the sprite will glitch out during the fanfare portion and show Luca's sprite using enemies pallet next to or inside one of the bushes. I think I looked it up years ago and found an explanation but I could be totally wrong.

[@AaronJLong]

I knew about frog Spekkio, so I guess this is 9 things I didn't know. Compared to my past experience with videos that promise to tell me things I didn't know about a video game or something I adore, a score of 9/10 easily stands on top of the rest.

[@Bdewd]

Hey that's still a decent batting average and ill take it!

[@dragoon_zero]

There were at least 8 things I didn't know. Encounter skips are always useful. Even if you're playing casually it is better to be able to pick and choose which battles you want to fight.

[@Bdewd]

It took me until speedrunning to learn that some encounters require line of sight and if they never see you, you can run past! Tons of fun neat little things

[@cherokeefit4248]

I’m playing this game and close to beating it. I can see the multiple endings taking place. This game is wildly diverse for its time. Glad I have it in the collection.

[@jax597]

I just ordered it!! When and how much was yours? Mine costed $300 !! SNES IS BEST SYSTEM EVER!!

[@cherokeefit4248]

@@jax597 $285 about 2 years ago% your price is good as I see it going for $350

[@cherokeefit4248]

@@jax597 I hope they still work as the battery and edge connectors are getting old and rough. I cherish my games and even have duplicates and triples of certain games. Hang on to them. I need to beat Mario rpg and lufia 2 and have them in the collection

[@LavosTheOneEyedTick]

Interesting trivia!! I knew some of these, but it’s certainly nice to get a deeper look into speedrunning type tricks.

[@willardfasto4494]

Always do the low level spekio as you want as many tabs as you can.

[@dansmith1661]

Faster to charm enemies for tabs

[@LV99guy]

Def learned quite a bit. Go you!

[@Bdewd]

go you! i love when i learn things and love when i teach things even more!

[@on3trackmindtv]

Hell yeah

[@luisvazquez4309]

I don’t skip encounters I meet them head on. 😏

[@SchalaZeal]

10 things I didn't know... Alright, try me... I'm clicking play now...

[@jefft724]

You mentioned some funny bugs. Which version are you of CT are you playing? Everyone was saying the PC version is especially buggy.

[@Bdewd]

This is the snes version. Pc version has had some updates and such but honestly don't know a lot about it

[@Loner098]

The PC version is still currently fine though.

[@reiitoes]

fun fact: you can skip every single encounter in lab 16 through shortcuts/long routes

[@Bdewd]

I mean that's basically what I showed except instead of long routes you can use text box stacking. Didnt show the last screen but its very simple

[@PowerBadger]

You were right...those were all things I did not know about Chrono Trigger!

[@Bdewd]

Sometimes not always useful but I find it fun to learn how games work mechanically. Most of these lists are lore and secrets so tryna break that mold a little bit

[@veghesther3204]

Frog Spekkio = lvs 1 to 10v but MOST players myself included will likely have Crono at lv 12 ALL others at lv 11 so that you can't fight it I also NEVER leveled to lv 99 to fight its Pink NU form either.

[@Loner098]

Yeah, and by the time you are level 99 and have those 10 of each type of tabs/capsules, you're already strong enough to take down Lavos. So it's basically just not worth it in the end.

[@stevekempsyninja3292]

Dont skip battles, thats good xp 😜

[@Bdewd]

Most of the big skips aren't worth much, like the starting birds for example

[@stevekempsyninja3292]

@Bdewd I feel they are because you can have a higher level earlier in game. Always helped for me anyway

[@davecoppenrath]

I can’t figure how to switch party members anywhere but the end of time

[@Bdewd]

On the snes you hit the X button. On pc there's an option when you go to the menu that says party and you can swap them out that way. DS I think is the same but I've never touched that version

[@chronotriggerirony]

@@Bdewd i remember the first time i played chrono trigger i didn't realize you could swap party members in the menu until i got all the way to black omen. god, that was so embarrassing when i finally figured that out

[@MegaFeeso]

Geez people here are so mean about the title lol.

[@Bdewd]

Next title: 10 things you may, or may not, know about ff6 depending on if you are into glitches or were expecting a story/lore video and became mad because it was about game mechanics instead 👍

[@skins4thewin]

Basically all speedrunner facts. Also, I can tell this guy is Canadian due to the Aboat pronunciation. Doesn't mean anything, just sayin'.

[@Bdewd]

Aww man is it that obvious. Time to practice sounding less canadian in the mirror before the next one haha

[@skins4thewin]

@@Bdewd Lol I dunno why I felt the need to even bring it up, just find it interesting when I hear a random "Aboat" get dropped in a vid 😛

[@biz0unc3]

If I know even one of these I'm going to just unsub and then resub >:(

[@Bdewd]

Ah heck the pressure!

[@andrewdyke5561]

If you want to level ever character to 99 you cant skip

[@zodiacknightleo1209]

I'm sorry. I actually knew these things since I've been playing it since its SNES release. Good video though.

[@Terashi]

This type of video title is insulting. I have been playing this game for LITERAL DECADES. Dislike.

[@TheJosephoenix]

Yawn . Don't recommend channel clicked.

[@DillyDV]

Sounds like you have a lot of experience being a boring useless human chose to share your views. You should do something worth commenting on like taking your negative attitude and shoving up your ass. That would give you an ounce of importance in your sad existence. Peace dog licker gonna go bounce on my boy's dick to whale songs.
