If anyone gatekeeps you from ultrakill ask them why Hakita would ever add assists in his game, but also allow railcoining. Then let them know Hakita would proj boost his loogie into any gatekeepers face and tell them to go back to practicing their fist only prime minos no dmg run.

[@andrehashimoto8056]

and add to that that the GREEN railcannon (the one that fires a DRILL that deals DoT) will get some new fancy ways of being a mean green monster of your arsenal (imagine if it becomes that you can PARRY BOOST the sucker for EVEN more damage or it will be a combo with a new weapon in the fifth layer)

[@albertovelasquez9027]

"The Beggar's Bazooka of ULTRAKILL" I loved that

[@TTMR]

not only is this a fantastic guide, your outro bit fills me with hope for the community. I've seen other shooters like this garner communities that are gatekeepy as hell, demanding only to play in a certain way or on a certain difficulty to be a True Alpha Gamer or whatever and its turned me off some games completely, but from what I've seen of the main players in the ULTRACOMMUNITY this isn't really the case and it's refreshing. Everybody agrees if you gatekeep or shame people for playing on lower difficulties or using assists to enjoy the game, you're cringe, which is a nice change of pace from the usual 'xd gaem journalist' pissing contest

[@IOSIRIS]

The most I’ve been gatekept from the community is challenging friends to have CG high score rivalries

[@meyr1992]

its crazy to me how you are easily swayed and effected by other people’s opinions of you, do you seriously need a supporting community to feel comfortable with yourself? why do you care that those other games have these toxic players? you are not forced or needed to interact with them at all to enjoy the game

9:32 to 10:15 THANK YOU! I'm not a complete jackass at the game, but one thing I love about the complexity of the game is that it makes each player's unique form shine brightly. If you're a mechanical god that can do insane combinations with multiple weapons in the thick of the action, it shows through. If you like to style on the enemies, it also shows through. If you're one to stick to what you know best and be aggressive, albeit without flamboyant and constantly pulling flashy moves, it also shows through. Even if the game might not reward the Pragmatic Professional as much as it does to the Flashy Styler, the game still rewards good gameplay. Get Good, and your very own Form will push through [your hellish opposition].

I love the short and concise segments, nice little treats of ultrakill knowledge all wrapped in a 10 minute video!! Love it!!

[@glowing_purple_girl]

I’m gonna keep this on hand. I’m realistically not going to put a lot of work into mastering the coin stuff, but this does reveal little things that I’d love to add to my arsenal of techniques and improve the game for myself. I gotta get way better at movement for example…

[@stargazingsongs]

Honestly knowing the combos in your arsenal makes such a big difference. It took me 1h 15min to beat v2 for the first time, but the Gabriel fight only took me 8min. Railcoining really is something else.

[@русланбуйло-ъ8т]

lol it took me 20 tries total, i was streaming on discord and turns out i somehow parried one of his attacks and half-killed the second phase

[@SuperCoolZomb1e]

I don’t even know how long it took me to beat them but I do know I started playing the game at 10 and by the time I beat v2 it was 1

[@catalpi1650]

I love the ending statement. The point of a game is to have fun. I think it’s really cool that the developer added assists. Anyone can have fun with this game. Anyone can feel like a badass no matter how they play it. I love your video guides because you always say that this game is pretty hard and you should be able to have fun anyway you play. A lot of other KZbinrs guides are just “get better at this” lmao

[@meyr1992]

i can not see the appeal to this game if you are going to play it on the easy difficulty with assists, like the whole fun of the game is the deep mechanics and the difficulty. are people playing it for the lore? retro graphics?

[@DrGandW]

@@meyr1992 The fun mechanics don't stop losing their meaning without the difficulty, and at any moment if someone decides to they can raise the difficulty again. Some person wanting to use the mechanics and try stuff they're not good at outside the sandbox but not wanting to die in the same place a bunch for the sake of seeing what's in the game at a desired pace should be pretty easy to understand.

[@El_chara]

@@meyr1992 Well, people play for different reason, if a game is too hard for them but they enjoy it, why not make it easy. You enjoy the game for the mechanics but some might like it because there's a lot of shit happening on the screen, so why not make the shit happen more easily if they like it ?

I've P-ranked everything in act 1 on Violent (except Minos Prime, just couldn't ever do it), but I hadn't played the game for a long time. Decided to watch this for funsies now that act 2 dropped after finishing it. I had no idea about a lot of these things and now I feel like such a newbie. The game is still mad fun. I like how the clips were short and concise with very clear explanations. I thought I couldn't like it more but that clip about gatekeeping at the end proved me wrong. This was a fantastic video, well done :)

[@spookyboi4784]

Ahhhhh god this video is a life saver. I had thought you could shoot the shotgun cores but I never hit it to find out and assumed it wasn't a thing. All the tech in this video is getting the brain going. Hope my family dose not need me for a month or so. I'm finna do my best to become a coin punching lunatic

[@Sgt_MajorProblem]

As someone who can't even afford ULTRAKILL and has only played its demo, I can say with 101% perfect confidence that once I got the basic hang of the mechanics and have managed to master proj boosting and a few coin mechanics, ULTRAKILL is genuinely the ULTRAFUCKING ULTRACOOLEST ULTRAGAME I have ever played.

[@darksan7094]

Okay I was one of the players who just used the revolver piercer shot to kill everything (and railgun), then I watched this. I implemented most of the things shown in the video and oh my god this game is on a whole other level now.

9:45 noooo, you should only play ultrakill on UMD+ difficulty with sanded enemies mod while blindfolded and with electrodes attached to your reproductive organs to punish you for whenever your score modifier drops below x3, and if you aren't getting a current world record time and score consistently, or, good heaven save your soul, you are failing to do it all while taking zero damage, you should uninstall all your games and only ever launch adult visual novels! /s Nice guide, totally will send this to my English-speaking acquaintances when they will pick up the game

[@GHyze]

Thank you! For the mal-face parry, they do a lil flash and a sound effect when their attack is charged. Its the same flash as the swordsmachine melee. Parrying when and after that flash appears blows the charge attack in their face

[@AnimatedAndrew]

Very beautifully said at the end there. I’ve gotten the game recently and have been playing on Standard difficulty. Never gotten any score over a B and it’s mostly been a lot of D’s in Levels/Acts 2 and 3, so I’ve been feeling kinda not up to snuff with this game XD Even though I managed to get into the flow of Doom Eternal on UV difficulty, I’m still just not very good at these twitch-type games. I’ll try and see if Lenient Difficulty is a better fit for me?

I'll be honest, I find it fun finding combos and then building other combos AROUND those few specific combos, so essentially I'll have combos that lead into my favourite combos, and that's basically my playstyle. I find it really fun to master a few combos and then have some other ones to sometimes pull, instead of mastering EVERY combo, ya know? I dunno if that made sense lol.
