| 22:23:02 [nathanbp|work] | Sam |
| 22:23:05 [nathanbp|work] | Ridley is hard :( |
| 22:23:35 [nathanbp|work] | Perhaps I should try a strategy more complicated than "spam super missile button in general direction of boss" >_> |
| 22:24:18 [Puyopuyo] | He IS hard. |
| 22:24:41 [nathanbp|work] | Also, what are you supposed to do to the 2 enemies in the room before Ridley? |
| 22:24:44 [Puyopuyo] | And how many super missiles do you have? You want to make them count, because once you run out, your best source of damage is either rapid firing missiles or charging the Plasma beam. |
| 22:24:50 [nathanbp|work] | The ones that reflect most attacks |
| 22:24:58 [Puyopuyo] | The Golden Space Pirates? |
| 22:25:04 [nathanbp|work] | I guess, yea |
| 22:25:19 [Puyopuyo] | Either pop them in the back with a super missile or screw attack them, if I recall correctly. |
| 22:25:42 [nathanbp|work] | Ok |
| 22:25:45 [Puyopuyo] | After they do their jump kick, I think there's a frame where you can nail them with a charge shot as well. |
| 22:26:10 [nathanbp|work] | I wasn't able to get screw attacking them to work |
| 22:26:33 [nathanbp|work] | so I just sat around spamming attacks until they were attackable for a short period |
| 22:26:58 [nathanbp|work] | Do power bombs not damage Ridley? It looks like they do if he's in the explosion radius |
| 22:27:13 [nathanbp|work] | I have 35 or 40 super missiles |
| 22:27:16 [Puyopuyo] | He always flies away. |
| 22:27:29 [Puyopuyo] | The only power bomb that hurts him is one that you drop right as he starts appearing from the background. |
| 22:27:33 [Puyopuyo] | Otherwise they're just a waste. |
| 22:27:41 [Puyopuyo] | So you've got most then, as there are only 50 super missiles max. |
| 22:27:46 [Puyopuyo] | Yeah, Super missile his face in. |
| 22:27:51 [Puyopuyo] | How much energy do you have? |
| 22:27:52 [nathanbp|work] | hmmm...It looked like he was getting hit by them sometimes |
| 22:28:02 [nathanbp|work] | 9 + 3 reserve tanks |
| 22:28:52 [Puyopuyo] | Are you topped off before you take him on? That's a little low for my tastes. |
| 22:29:09 [nathanbp|work] | Yeah you can top off in the room right before him |
| 22:29:22 [Puyopuyo] | Then keep trying, I guess. |
| 22:29:35 [Puyopuyo] | Remember, his pogoing SUCKS. But he's a good time to nail him with some super missiles. |
| 22:29:46 [nathanbp|work] | I think I was getting close judging by how red he was |
| 22:29:52 [nathanbp|work] | I only tried twice so far |
| 22:29:54 [Puyopuyo] | You might have already killed him. |
| 22:30:08 [Puyopuyo] | Ridley has one last trick, which is that even at 0 health, he can keep fighting until he grabs you and self-destructs. |
| 22:30:18 [nathanbp|work] | Oh that's a lot of fun |
| 22:30:24 [Puyopuyo] | You can keep shooting him and make him explode, and I don't know what that cut off is. |
| 22:30:34 [Puyopuyo] | Or he'll just grab you and you'll win. |
| 22:30:40 [Puyopuyo] | Regardless, you should be able to take him down. |
| 22:30:44 [Puyopuyo] | You've got enough weaponry. |
| 22:30:51 [nathanbp|work] | well I'll have to try that power bomb at the start thing |
| 22:39:35 [nathanbp|work] | I feel like the required skill at combat and reaction times is very different between bosses and the rest of the game |
| 22:41:44 [Puyopuyo] | That is generally the case. |
| 22:41:56 [Puyopuyo] | It's okay, the final boss is a lot easier. Ridley is considered the hardest boss in the game. |
