Let's Play Digimon World 3: Pick My Solo!

[Espinosa]

You know who's overrated? Agumon. Hogs exp and all his evolution paths besides MetalMamemon offer nothing but useless magic spells of the same two or so types. Even his finishers are all magical for a while (though often you'll just switch to the next evo and not learn any).

[Terrador]

While Agumon is a bit milquetoast WRT his techs, he actually does get some rather solid ones later on, particularly Giga Fire. His stats aren't shabby, either (bar Speed) and he's got fairly quick access to SkullGreymon [after Zanbamon, so w/e level you're at then] for a much higher damage output, then BK WarGreymon soon after. Your track from then is up to you, but he actually gets to either Imperialdramon PM or Diaboromon in rather reasonable timeframes. Not likely in a three-mon run at all, but still very reasonable in the grand scheme of things.

[Terrador]

[spoiler=Go North]Alright, I can't remember what we're doing. Going to North Sector to kick the next Leader's ass and open fuckwhateveritis, right? Yeah. That.

The rise of Kabuterimon!!

Here we are in the Circuit Board, with Digmon! I went in at Central Park... and I have no clue where I'm popping out. U-ho!

The hole in Central Park got us literally nowhere... where goeth this one?

...literally nowhere, as well. Of course.

This one...?

...I should probably go to Asuka Server first. Seeing as that's where the actual Leader and shit are.

Back to the TOMBS!

WHERE WILL THIS POP OUT?

Huh--Raremon.

>connected to Amaterasu

Nope.

This one...?

NORTH SECTOR--FREEZE MOUNTAIN

ALRIGHT! I AM HERE!

...but where am I? Pretty sure I gotta go find a town somewhere...

Frigimon? Seems like a pretty... cool guy.

Battle Gate--intimidating. Can I simply walk into Mordor?

Yes! One can! This is Genbu City, the last held by the good folks at MAGAMI.

After a bit of dicking around and healing up, I climb to the top to find the love child of Lance and Brock Genbu Leader.

And nobody saw it coming.

Puedes decir "big guns"?

Also, Vikemon is big and mean and hits like a truck. And may or may not be able to counterattack, a la Counter Crest. Yeah.

Terra Destroyer, man. Terra Destroyer ♥

Hey, monkey man! What's up?

Not bad. Only a delay of the inevitable, but... not bad.

Gosh golly, a 12HKO!! Whatever shall we do?

DEATHRABBIT

awww yeah. This guy is a pushover.

Also, fun fact: Kabuterimon gets Hammer Rush (!!) at L35. Pity I'm only using him for 5 more levels and that he has the lowest attack modifier of anything I'm likely to use anymore. Pity.

Aw yeah!

Bitch, don't apologize. That took 240 PP and 301 HP--so 1/10 and 1/12 of those respective reserves. And all of five minutes. It was not a problem--not for all that tasty, tasty EXP~!

Kulon Mine? Kulon Mine. Wherever the hell that is...

Mojyamon. It's a furball!

And now, Ares shall be a Mega forevermore! Starting with Imperialdramon! U-HO!!

IMPERIALDRAMON MOTHERFUCKERS

THE ONE

THE ONLY

THE UNSTOPPABLE.

Every last one of my orgasms. This is THE tech. Heal myself pretty much completely? SHORE LET'S DO THAT FOR A MEASLY 74 MP.

Circuit Board confirmed for not useless! This is Boot Mountain; Kulon Mine is below.

This guy's just peculiar. He is a FIRE GOLEM. Awesome and odd.

Also, he uses a mid-level fire tech. Neato.

Did I say "below"? I meant "adjacent to".

Huh--manlier Ogremon! Is Lisa here...?

DETOUR TO THE LAKE OF ICE

WHATEVER THE A.O.A IS DOING CAN'T BE THAT IMPORTANT, RIGHT?

Octomon! Under the Lake of Ice!

Tiny, but surprisingly bulky!

Imperialdramon leveling up, Agumon leveling up, and Imperialdramon learning Mechanical Bash, all in one fight?

...not bad.

I think DA BEAR is retarded, seeing as the Legendary Gym is... y'know... right here.

Speaking of: with the 20 TP burning a hole in my pocket, Agumon's Spirit and Wisdom have been Super Trained. I get the feeling that his core stats are getting kinda ridiculous...

I'm probably gonna focus on Speed, Wisdom, and Spirit from now on; I'm gonna have some handy special attacks, Speed is always welcome, and special attacks are coming thick and fast now.

...also, apparently, Mechanical Bash is outpaced by Imperialdramon's ordinary swat. Dayum, Imperialdramon. You scary.

Exploring Boot Mountain more, pretty much literally because why not.

Snow Mountain: it's like Ice Mountain, but tamer.

ZERO REASON FOR THAT DETOUR MATES

SO MANY DIGIVOLVES AVAILABLE

For those of you who aren't aware:

Greymon, MetalGreymon, WarGreymon

SkullGreymon, BlackWarGreymon

Growlmon

Kyubimon

ExVeemon, Paildramon, Imperialdramon

MetalMamemon

Dinohumon

Stingmon, Kabuterimon, GranKuwagamon

Angemon

...yeah. Also: GRANKUWAGAMON ENOUGH SAID

DEMONIC INSECT

MEGA LEVEL 2

GET WRECKED EVERYBODY ELSE

GranKuwagamon: the most powerful Insect Digimon in existence. SO STRONG!!

LEVEL 50

WE ARE OFFICIALLY IN THE BIG-BOY LEAGUES NOW

BIG-BOY LEAGUES

...now, if you know how this ends, don't tell me.

Kulon Pit! From here, we're going to the EMERGENCY EVAC CHAMBER, which should be quick and easy to access.

>"Ares, wanna kill this chucklefuck for greeting us here?"
>"But Terrador, my GranKuwagamon form is weak to Pepper Breath!"

>"..."

1) I can see nothing but metal.

2) Why is the EMERGENCY SHOULD-BE-QUICK-TO-ACCESS REAL-WORLD PORTAL BURIED BEHIND THE DIGI-EGG OF SINCERITY, A FUCKING DUNGEON, PROBABLY EVEN MORE DUNGEON, AND THE FOUR LEADER PASSCODES?! WHYYYYYYYYYY!!!

...because nothing can just randomly be positive.

And yes, this is an ice-sliding puzzle.

Ice Digimon? Giga Fire. Why not? I certainly have the MP to spare!

This... just screams Giga Fire.

Ohh, this is gonna be toasty~

...we were supposed to be stopping the A.o.A from launching this huge-ass Juggernaut battleship, right? But here we are roasting snowmen. Fuck yeah.

Awwwwww yis.

Oh...? A Water Digimon. I think I'll have to do this the fun way.

...with presumably-critical claw swipes.

In other news, 534 Cha gives a delightful amount of crits.

Being abhorrently fast is nice, too~

Ohhh, man. This is gonna be good.

Mammothmon used Ice Shower! It's Super Ineffective! 36HKO!

See, Ares' Giga Fire, on the other hand...

Channel the WarGreymon, Ares. He will carry you, when you only see three sets of footprints.

...alrighty then. Sounds like fun.

Fire Dungeon. How much d'y'all wanna bet it's gonna start fucking me up?

FIREBALL NUMEMON

IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE ENEMIES PAST GRANKUWAGAMON'S ENORMOUS BULK

Yeeeeeeeeah, that... just happened. IT'S A TRAP!!

Gawd, I love healing techs. SO MUCH.

Hey, man, I've kinda got the motherfucking A.o.A to deal with, so if you could get out of the--

...or you could suicide your firemongers on GranKuwagamon. That works, too.

SKULLMERAMON

SO SCURRY

TOTALLY.

...that... was a high-order fire tech. HOW.

...this is gonna be a whole thing with you, isn't it.

Ares: "I am... in my home environment, here. I sssshall shred my opponents... DIMMENSIONAL SCISSOR!!"

Terrador: "...yeeeah, that's gonna be awhile, bud."

Ares: *proceeds to shred his way through Dark Dungeon in sheer undiluted rage*

...mother.

Also, generic Dark Elemental did 537 (!!) to Ares. Goddamn.

That was quick. Also, obligatory:

And, as expected...

We are officially doing this the hard way.

...that was quick. BUT LET'S HOPE HE DOESN'T--

...get double-attacked and wrecked before he can uncan Dark Elemental. Aight. I can roll with this.

Something tells me this thing hits like a goddamn freight train.

The "almighty" Dark Elemental...

Yeeeeeah, Ares sweep go.

>implying I don't have a Digimon capable of singlehandedly, no item support, defeating Galacticmon on a leash at this fucking second

Pleb.

RIGHT

WE HAVE TO GO SHRED THE A.O.A NOW

LET'S GO DO THAT.

LET'S GO SAVE THE WORLD

After 180 seconds...

So this thing spits me out in the Real World. On the undersea base Magasta. For three minutes.

...what the fuck is real?!

We'll find out next time, in Undersea Base Magasta and the Hunt for DDNA! Totally Unrelated Things!

[Terrador]

[spoiler=Undersea Base Magasta and the Hunt for DDNA! Totally Unrelated!]

"Goodness, I hope I don't have any random encounters! Those would drain my timer very quickly!"

There are no free-roaming Digimon in the Real World, one would hope. Certainly not in a military base. I mean, it's not like they couldn't secure it against--

...OH COME ON!!

HOW ARE THERE WILD FUCKING DIGIMON IN A MILITARY BASE? ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO BE GUARDS? HOW REAL ARE DIGIMON? WHY ARE MINE WITH ME?!

HOW AM I EVEN HERE?! DID THIS THING RESYNTHESIZE MY BODY TO THE NEAREST NEURON, BUT IT'S SO UNSTABLE THAT I'LL FUNCTION AT FULL POTENTIAL FOR THREE MINUTES, THEN BE DEREALIZED--WITH ALL MY MEMORIES OF THE TIME HERE INTACT.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

...and, of course, the encounter doesn't count towards my three minutes.

Also, these guys exist.

WHALES

ON A BASE

AAAAAAAGH

And... a pufferfish Digimon?

(skip to :31 or so.)

Yeah! Because he can't gun me down or anything? Y'know why?!

Because he can't beat my awesome GranKuwagamon!!

Giromon! It has a chainsaw!

...and can DO COUNTERATTACKS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Nice job fixing it, Junior.

Also, it's been a long time coming, but Ares is LV 51 now!

OH NOES

A.O.A PLAN IS SUCCESSFUL

REAL WORLD BEING TERRORIZED BY JUGGERNAUT

GOVERNMENT PRESUMABLY POWERLESS TO STOP

SMALL BOY WILL SAVE WORLD!!

But first: DDNA hunting!

WOOP LET'S DO IT

...challenge accepted.

Stronger than I suspected, by far. Pity he doesn't even scratch GranKuwagamon's hide.

The last partner: Kotemon. Its Ultimate, Kyukimon, should put up quite a fight...

Or not! U-ho!

...holy shit. They're implying that this Guilmon ate his buddy Agumon because they got lost in Mobius Desert.

Y'know--for kids!

...carry on.

KUMAMON IS HERE!

And nicknamed Hestia. And at 0 EXP, forever.

Stay in the kitchen. Or go fix Gyazo.

These levels are coming at 100 kills a pop nowadays!

Tune in next time for Asuka City (Again) and Beyond: Race to Get Diaboromon! I Mean Stop the A.o.A!

[MacLovin]

man, I really should get around to playing the digimon srpgs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digimon_Adventure:_Anode/Cathode_Tamer

wonder if Agumon is top tier for ltc .

oh and I've been playing digimon world: dawn/dusk. The latter leans more on status effect type things and the former is more on having an offensive lead and a ton of popular digimon being in the starter packs.

I picked dusk since it had tentomon and keromon in a starter pack. I can't resist Hercules Kabuterimon and Diaboromon.

Although Dawn has the agumon/guilmon lines availible in starter packs, I like dusk's starters better. Perhaps stuff like Gaomon+Solarmon, Tentomon+Keramon, or Black Agumon+Gabumon are just tooo fun.

fun fact in digimon world dawn/dusk:

Kumamons natural mega form is babamon.

I cannot fathom how this makes sense.

[Pull My Devil Trigger]

I played Dusk a little once, these two games and Digimon World DS were pretty cool, I have to play them again sometime.

Terrador, why do you have Guilmon and Kumamon if they are not going to be used? I know you said something about backup partner but I really don't know how would that work.

Also, if I want team with Agumon (Diaboromon), Guilmon (Beelzemon) and Veemon (Imperialdramon-P) should I use Agumon for a possible second healer or try Angemon line for Guilmon for the healing techs since he has more MP(at least I think he has, I'm not sure)?

EDIT:By the way, I'm loving this LP, keep up the good work

Edited October 18, 2013 by Tonton

[JSND Alter Dragon Boner]

Imp-P skillset does everything, so you don't really need extra healer or stuff like that

Well, I'm just carrying Kumamon around because she's popular. I find it amusing to make fun of DA BEAR which needs to GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN.

As for Guilmon: in case of a freak accident, I leveled him enough that he can take initiative and use a Life Disk, if Ares somehow gets knocked out. Further, he helped get me to DRI requirements.

And as for healing: honestly, it doesn't really matter what you do. You'll have Mega Heal in the field from Imperialdramon 5, and Power Charges go from "handy, but not to be used frivolously" to "so cheap that you can pretty much spam them" rather quickly. That said, you're probably best off carrying around Imperialdramon (for loaded Mega Heal), GranKuwagamon (for loaded Impact Rush, which I'm pretty sure will outdo Diaboromon's ordinary swat), and, of course, Diaboromon.

While I'm at it: you probably want Guilmon to detour into MetalMamemon => MetalGarurumon => MegaGargomon for tough fights while you're building Digivolutions [trust me, he'll have many levels to do it]; drop Growlmon as soon as you get MetalMamemon. However, I'd highly recommend an 80-level (yes, but you don't hit the bump in that time) dip into WarGrowlmon, for loaded Mega Protection and Mega Strength. Gallantmon can stick around for loaded Speed Up. That said, you could still make Stingmon/ExVeemon 5 and Imperialdramon 15 dips for loaded Mega Heal over Gallantmon's loaded Speed Up. Your call.

That said, if you want all three of those Tier 3 Mega Digivolutions by the end of the game...? You'll need to do a lot of grinding. Just one example: even assuming Agumon's low enough level after getting through Jungle Grave that you're just barely hitting Greymon 50, I would be very surprised if you hit Diaboromon before ~130k EXP; I still have something like 1300 DVXP to pour into GranKuwagamon before I get Diaboromon (which is to say somewhere between 250 and 350 battles, depending on how strong enemies are at the time).

and thanks; I thought it's been pretty lackluster! Hopefully my PURE UNDILUTED HATRED amuses y'all.

Also, I think I should've gone for Imperialdramon-Paladin. MetalMamemon => MetalGarurumon + WarGreymon + Imperialdramon + Imperialdramon FM +Omnimon is... 3100 DVEXP, whereas Stingmon => Kabuterimon + Imperialdramon + GranKuwagamon is... 3050. So it is faster! It's felt pretty slow, though. At least I'm running a Tier 2 Mega now!

And boy howdy, I cannot wait for GranKuwagamon to start getting some useful techs... which is to say Impact Rush and Dimmensional Scissors.

[Terrador]

[spoiler=Asuka City (Again) and Beyond! The Race to Get Diaboromon... er, Stop the A.o.A!]

U-HO LET'S GO

No shit...?

Alternatively, e-mail? That shit can work even if the Matrix Chamber is FUBAR, y'know...

...okay, that's actually pretty handy. A+, Teddy.

Hit it with a SPACESHIP!

She would never lie to us about how to stop the A.o.A!!

See? She just politely refused!

And, after Lisa talks about surrendering...

Yay!

A.o.A exec of the year!

Let's go to Amaterasu's North Sector and get that last Leader pass to deactivate Knightmon!

Translation: we're fucked.

...that is not good.

Quite apart from the fact that transferring Vemmon's data into this warship lets it act like a fucking Transformer.

Engineering does not work like that!!

Destromon... the You're-Fucked Digimon.

Also, I can get into Bai Hu City [read: Bizarro Byakko] now, apparently! Kickass!

Impact Rush, U-ho!!

Now I can smack things even harder! Yaaaaaaaaaaay!

Get all the levels!

And now: The Hill. Each level is going to take five times as long as normal... I'm not even halfway done with GranKuwagamon. This should be... fun.

At least I get OHKO GUN at L90!

Level 82! The halfway point!

and I'm leveling so much for such a short journey because CARDGAME DETOURS!!

LEVELS FOR ARES

MUEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

Card Battle: You probably don't care, but I kicked this guy's ass.

Brown Numemon are in AM Jungle Shrine. I'm gonna find a boss in here, and kick its ass!

Level 55! Ares is unstoppable!!

AW YEA DIMENSION SCISSORS

TIME TO FUCK SOME SHIT UP

Challenge accepted.

As it turns out, Dimension Scissors actually does minimal damage [~8/9 normal] on a non-OHKO. Impact Rush, on the other hand...

Dayum.

...if GranKuwagamon wasn't so ridiculous, this fight would be very, very difficult.

Wait--Speed. Suck it. DOUBLE-ATTACKING GO.

Hey, look, wild devil punching bags SkullSatamon!

Wild Littletooth in Ether Jungle! Goodbye.

Blue Tortomon is a jurk.

Wisdom and Speed up! I think I'll save future levels for Machine and Dark tolerance, though. I need to raise those for the final battles.

Doesn't look very kingly to me.

Hey, I can go to Bai Hu City now! Neato!

"Yes. And you're a moron. En garde!!"

...I must admit I'm impressed.

That is... mildly irritating.

Hrm. Go figure...

Bai Hu Chief wiped. Satantrips achieved. One hit taken. Good work, Ares.

Woop woop woop woop woop woop

...it's time.

DIABOROMON!!

Every time I can't find North Sector makes my victory more complete.

Seriously. I am fucking lost.

Ah, Amaterasu's Boot Mountain... victory is in sight!!

New generic we don't care about!

AOA CHIEF DETECTED

PREPARE TO DELETE

CRUUUNCH

ADDED TO THE HEAP.

Tune in next time for Amaterasu City: The Final Campaign Begins?

[JSND Alter Dragon Boner]

You need to do level 99 Imperialdramon to get FM, so its definitely much slower

EDIT: Whoops forgot about 99 Grank lol

Edited October 19, 2013 by Choujin Sentai Chesnaught

[Terrador]

Also--already done.

Diaboromon achieved /thread

[Terrador]

[spoiler=Amaterasu City: The Final Campaign Begins?]

We start off on a swell note, with Ares rising to L58. Diaboromon's skill level is coming along nicely, too, but I highly doubt that we're seeing Cable Crusher this run.

The final bit of training. LET'S GO!

Shut up, Teddy. I am about to turn off the Knightmon!

So only AMC is left... alright. Time to go watch some Walking Dead!

Aww. Didn't get to kick any Knightmon ass. They actually aren't that OP, if their damage is anything to go by. Maybe as strong as [endgame miniboss]? Not that bad.

Meanwhile, in the Real World...

This is what happens when you dick around and play Card Battle.

...well, that's a buzzkill.

...at least I get to go Blitzkrieg the Admin Center! Woo!

That, plus a black Maildramon that couldn't even hit me. Too easy.

...funky.

Impact Rush OP.

And everybody else, for that matter.

Hey, we do get to fight a Knightmon!

HEY IT'S A CHUMP I NEED TO KILL

U-HO!!

I have to set Diaboromon loose on the world! We are on a schedule!

...maybe this guy has some spunk after all.

Okay. Maybe not.

...not bad. Pity that I have NTSC Counter Crest, Mega Heal, 4800 HP, and RUTOGASPEED.

OMINOUS!

Destromon: he went "plooie".

Also, Diaboromon's "guaranteed" status effects can't mess up bosses. Weak.

GG. Everyone is still Oinkmon, and this all happened in one day.

Yes. One. Day.

And I'm the one who has to figure out how to turn everyone back into people. Of course.

While I was looking around, Ares leveled up again! So OP!

Go power a machine nobody understands to go fix all these chumps who got Oinkmonned!

Wow... L60 really snuck up on me.

Now everybody is people again! Now, if only I could get the Matrix Chamber working again...

Stat-up chips~!!

One hell of a lot of chips and training later: suddenly, Ares has capped... every core stat, plus bonuses HP and Machine/Dark Tolerance. [with a bit of Fire Training for MP]. Interestingly enough, STR is his lowest natural stat, as equipment makes up so much of it. Because of Zweihander and Trihorn penalties, his pre-evo Wisdom and Speed are 994 and 991 respectively, but... does it really matter?

I have literally no reason to fight this chump!

Two Impact Rushes later, I can now Super Train tolerances anywhere! Neato!

Oh, boy, plot!

...everyone is Oinkmon now, aren't they.

Everyone is Oinkmon!!!

...of course. The one survivor.

U-HO!

FINAL QUEST!!

...yep. Vemmon and Oinkmon in the Real World.

I've honestly given up on this game making sense. Just... just point me at the final boss already.

Hot chick! Nerd! Nroooo!

HELLO, PREVIOUSLY-UNINTRODUCED CHARACTER.

Fucks I give about your megalomania: none.

We're gonna fight on a spaceship, aren't we.

... science, save me.

WE'RE IN THE REAL WORLD

Y'KNOW HOW GETTING HERE WAS A HUGE PLOT POINT EARLIER?

YEAH. THIS GUY JUST OPENED A WARP GATE.

INTERNAL CONSISTENCY: SHOT.

Warping around. Yes, it's that kind of puzzle part. Joy.

Yup. Boring puzzle is boring. I'll let y'all know if I see any interesting enemies.

BROTHER!!

...and we're out in space, with no perceivable life support systems in place. Of course.

After ganking a random chump in this mindless puzzle... this happened. Overkill much?

Armageddemon! A world-ending threat in and of itself... just hanging around the ship. Apparently, the only Infermon strong enough to become Diaboromon was just that much stronger than is necessary!

And you're still a Chump Ex Machina.

So, apparently, this guy made the A.o.A, who supported his bid to create a Digimon we're just now learning about, in an attempt to genocide everything. Yeeeeeeeeah.

Wait, so... a machine was able to return people's matrix data to them? Why not just use that machine to feed Vemmon?!

Guess what's not in this fucker's party.

Fujinmon, the Wind Kami Digimon. It has a lackluster normal attack [at least, when pointed at Diaboromon's caprammed physical defense], is doubled by Diaboromon, but is bulky enough to eat two Impact Rushes and a counter and still remain standing to be swatted.

Suijinmon, the Fire Kami Digimon. His attack is Fire/Machine, so far as I can tell, and actually is fairly impressive... in theory, with 232 damage on Diaboromon and up to 4 (as far as I can tell) hits. However...

His hit rate could be better.

Finally, Raijinmon, Thunder Kami. It has thunder and water attacks... which don't even cross the 10HKO threshold on Diaboromon. This fight is... a lot easier than I remember it being.

Notably: the largest EXP yield in the game, at roughly 567 a pop.

Way to not use it, ese.

Vemmon, DNA Digivolve to...!!

Forever, the most contrived BS.

The uber-being created in a lab with a long purple tail rebels against its creator! Where have I seen that before...?

Seeing as that thing just ate Megadeath, I can safely say we're boned.

Oh, boy. So he's the most powerful Digimon ever, plus a military satellite... we're SO UTTERLY BONED. At least he's letting us fight that form before he tries... oh, y'know, merging with Earth.

Tune in for our "final" episode: Versus Galacticmon!

[Terrador]

[spoiler=Versus Galacticmon!]

http://www.livestream.com/terrador14/video?clipId=flv_dbe10fe2-a430-4c54-9bdb-6d7423edf3e9

Oh, yeah! Thanks, all, for watching--however, this isn't necessarily the end! I have a save from before the Point of No Return, so if anyone particularly wants to see a sidequest or two, they can request it--but this should be the end. It's been a pleasure playing, and I'll see y'all... around! Shameless plug for M803 here or something.

Also: Diaboromon is literally the fastest playable Digimon, bar none. +70 Speed, even with a -7 penalty from Zweihander, is still stupid-fast... and he still can't get a freaking hit on Galacticmon. Dear God.

Edited October 20, 2013 by Terrador

[Pull My Devil Trigger]

The uber-being created in a lab with a long purple tail rebels against its creator! Where have I seen that before...?

Digimon was already born as the most original thing ever, just look at the digimons names for stance

Yay, video for the last episode! Although the lack of commentaries disturb me

Man, Galacticmon sure does stands for his final boss status, every other battle was so easy compared to him or at least that's what it seems from what you said about them

Maybe you could do the legendary weapons sidequest, or at least for the one that Agumon can use.

Also, do you have any plans for doing a LP of any other game? I really enjoyed this one... you should do an 100% one of something like pokemon or Skyrim, it will be really short

Edited October 20, 2013 by Tonton

[Terrador]

Well, I'm aware how tired folks are of the awful Urkel voice ruining gameplay--I know I'm no master of oratory, so I hung back on that one. I hate my own voice with a burning passion.

And yeah, Galacticmon's pretty rough, if only because his Avoid rate is ENORMOUS. Ares has about 99.5% of the maximum possible Speed in the game, which determines hit rate, plus caprammed Charisma [if that does anything], and he was hitting about half the time. Yeah, Mega Speed/Speed Up exist, but even so--damn. Just... damn.

In hindsight, I'm wishing I went for Imperialdramon-P, as it gets much better techs. And as for the sidequest... I could run and grab it, but I dunno how that would be entertaining. Maybe the legendary cards could be made somewhat interesting in that I could do videos of the card battles...? I dunno, there just isn't much to rage at when backtracking through a thousand random encounters.

And... no, I'm afraid I don't really have any other LP plans. I started up a couple of screencap FEs [including FE8 Monstrous Random Reclass, which I think wound up being pretty funny], but nothing slated for the future.

And one last thing I forgot to mention: Yeah. They were all cakewalks. I've not had to really worry about a battle since... MasterTyrannomon, and not even really then.

Edited October 20, 2013 by Terrador

[Pull My Devil Trigger]

That is true, there really isn't that much LP material left with the story finished. Maybe this card battle thing could be good, I don't know, speaking of them, how many of the cards avaliable did you finish this run with?

Also, this LP actually made me want to maybe try doing a Guilmon solo (I really love Guilmon, he is probably my favorite Rookie digimon), it doesn't seem that much harder compared to a normal run, especially with Guilmon leveling up so fast. (I could be wrong, of course)

[Terrador]

Guilmon solo should be a cakewalk. He can track into Beelzemon and Imperialdramon-P with relative ease, and has MetalMamemon VERY early to tide him over when he doesn't have anything constructive to be doing. Also, he levels fast, so he can abuse the OP [if you're willing to rig for it] training mechanic. And it's actually easier than a normal run, for the most part.

As for cards available... I'll do card album amount and current deck.

274/314 cards in Card Album.

Current deck:

2x Gold Aura

1x Control Parts

2x Freeze Bug

3x Eclipse Undo

1x Ecoly Cycle

2x Deceive Cloak

1x Chaos Virus

3x Vicious Hacking

3x Summon Devimon

1x Revival Charge

1x Chrono Balance

1x Absolute Barrier

1x Scramble Up

3x Charge Terminal

2x Digimon Charge

4x Program Charge

1x Beelzemon

4x Devimon

4x Andromon

The basic idea of the deck was to get Charge Terminals out to have a lot of toys to play with, then shut the opponent down with Freeze Bug, Eclipse Undo, Control Parts, and Vicious Hacking while a Devimon or Andromon combo was set up. Failing that, I could try to get whatever I could [hopefully including Beelzemon in the event of no combo] onto the field, and ideally pull some toys like Gold Aura or Control Parts, or just plain undermine the opponents' combos. This deck worked... rather swimmingly. I haven't seen an opponent it can't beat more often than not.

Also, an added note: For those of you who've finished the game/don't mind proxies, the card game is simple enough that we can simulate it right here!

I figured It would be easier, considering you'll basically have all the EXP go for only one digimon and only worry about equip for one of them. I think I'll go with Beelzemon, I find him really cool and besides, HE IS IN THE GAME OPENING SO HE SHOULD BE THE ONE TO KICK GALACTICMON'S ASS.

I don't believe any of the digimons I need to get him have a good healing tech though, maybe I should do Agemon line since he can get it rather easily?

Wow, only 40 cards for completing the collection. I never really went that deep into the carding game but in the save I had in my memory card which I, alongside with my copy of the game, couldn't find so I just had to go after some emulator and start all over again I remember using two decks. I did beat KingDivermon in the dueling island though. (Or at least from what I remember, it's been some time since I played this file but I'm sure I at east went there)

This looks like an interesting idea. Maybe when I get the grasp of the card game I might try it if this actually becomes a thing. Although I think that if we are to do this maybe we should create a thread specially for that, maybe in the forum games sections or something.

Don't worry about healing techs; healing items are in plentiful supply. That said, you can dip 30 levels for Small Heal once you get access to WarGrowlmon, 55 to load it. But why would you want to? If I were to do a frivolous dip, I'd go for 40 extra levels of GrapLeomon for loaded Soul Charge, hands the fuck down.

And as far as toughest opponent I've dealt with: probably the second gauntlet of Etemon. My deck wasn't fully constructed yet, and they were MONSTERS.

I recall my best deck revolved around having 4 Angemon, 4 Summon Angemon(since it summons 2 of them at once at no cost), Gold Aura, the rest where White/Brown Ultimates/Megas and the usual Charge Terminals, Freeze Bugs, Control Parts Absolute Barrier.

Summon Angemon itself I think is pretty ridiculous. It summons 2 Angemon for no cost, with 3 or more Angemon you get the bonus HP/ATK, you don't have to use it during the summon phase(so you can avoid cards that destroy all non-[colour] type and then summon Angemon after it's been used] and it technically gets double the effect of Gold Aura which is also a white card.

Usually 2 Summon Angemon and 1 Gold Aura is all you need to beat most opponents HP/ATK discounting their program cards.

I dunno--194/203 seems fairly breakable, in my humble opinion. There are some strooooooong enemy setups out there, at least in terms of raw output.

Not to say that Angemon aren't crazy-handy--they are. I'd take 'em over this Devimon setup any day of the week. Still, sometimes even 4x and Gold Aura isn't quite enough.

Aren't a lot of decks specifically designed to destroy Brown cards (broken in themselves with their lack of cost)? I don't know; just asking.

Well, at mid-levels, yes. However, lategame, with the prevalence of Eclipse Undo, Chaos Virus, and the legendary cards, running things like Disturb Gear generally isn't necessary.
