God, there's a lofi quality to romhack videos that's really starting to show through. They're so genuinely unscripted, have lower quality mics, and this strangely anarchist vibe. I know that sounds dramatic, but our closet popular relative now is the curated Mario Maker. This just hits different, even more so after all this time.
Jesus, coming back to these videos after years has certainly been a treat. Jon, azure blade, icrangirl, all of them. Im really happy all of these are still here ^u^
There's a massive different between how they're used in the original game and how they're used in difficult hacks. Usually in the original they were used to accent a secret in the stage, but 9/10 times in hacks they're used as cheap kills.
Frantically remembering watching this 10 years ago and rushing to watch it again and still love every minute is a testament to the greatness of this video and ProtonJon himself
Jack Registeel Ah, okay. I know that feeling... I started working on mine several years ago and still haven't finished it because I keep taking reeeeally long breaks XD
Man....sometimes it's nice to go back to Jon's romhack videos and see where it all began. He was the first LP'er I ever saw, and still my favorite. I've probably gone back and watched all these hundreds of times, and I'll be damned if I ever stop.
Watching just the beginnings of Jon's videos from the start is awesome, you can watch his resignation grow with every new romhack as they break his spirit, one by one.
Yes. and here, it only makes sense that in the Anglo culture it was originally called "Most Extreme Elimination Challenge" by Proton's attitude. Otherwise, it was mostly just about invisible coin blocks.
Going to have to try this one. The invisible block puzzles don't so much annoy me as just present a reason to constantly be on edge, and be prepared to always have a backup plan when jumping.
I think takeshi's revenge is the "revenge" of the TV show takeshi's castle. The 1st part with the wall is referencing it because on the show, the 1st challenge is to scale a large wall.
I think that rom-hackers use invisible coin blocks with let's plays in mind. The fact that they are so rage inducing makes the video fun to watch, even if it doesn't make the game fun to play. Schadenfreude and whatnot.
None taken. Honestly no one on this site gives criticism about videos here, they either love it or despise it with all of their soul and won't say why. So when someone actually gives me a REASON for not liking a video, it's refreshing.
Hey good commentary! Almost as fun as psystarcraft. Good points on the invisible blocks! I really like most challenges in Kaizo Mario but invisible blocks takes the fun out as you say =)
This probably demonstrated worse use of invisible coin blocks than Enigmatic Mario stage 3. I think the whole point of the first part was to bring a Yoshi and use a glitch to avoid moving vertical while hitting invisible blocks (given the pattern you revealed with Lunar Magic). Maybe even Gamelun1 stage "Adventure Begin" also did worse than Enigmatic stage 3.
ROFL!!!!!! I think many small pieces out of the whole video are very funny. especially when you said "it does not rain football players in mario land" at 5:26
After years of playing ROM hacks on my channel, I figured it was about time to go back in time and see the birth of RU-vid ROM hacks. Wish me luck friends, I'm going in. EDIT: Oh my God how have I never watched Proton Jon before?
