Oh yeah, one last thing (99% certainty),
it is advised to switch the key layout to a layout where you can run,
jump and attack simultaneously more easily.
I have:
Run = Shift
Jump = Space
Whip = F
That way I can teeter-totter my thumb and fifth finger
like it ain't no thing.
That has actually made the game easier by minimizing key locking. Thanks for the tip.
And something else that made me a bit happy. I finally got a PS2 emulator to work properly on my machine and slayed my first colossus (though some of it, graphics and sound, was a bit choppy). Now I no longer need to try to leapfrog my PS2 from my room and my sister's room.
I've had enough of doing that, and I can think of some uses of PS2 emulation on my machine anyway; for one, easier memory card maintainence, properly playing my old games again (backups of course) along with some rare titles one cannot find anymore (like Ico for example) and I think I can backup my games and not have to worry about my CDs' usual fates whenever they're borrowed (it's not a pretty sight). And lastly, I might be able to livestream them; of course, I'll have to uber-nerf the graphics and maybe even sound quality to make it playable.
Now then, to claim my birthday/Christmas gift of an upgrade or 2 for my computer to further help out within next week. My machine could use a little boost, at least for the PS2 emulation. Considering that, I might get around to playing FFX again, that game was pretty decent.
Darn shame XBOX emulation hasn't been improved upon yet. my old machine's a dust box, and I don't have any working controllers (plus one of my others sisters has the only working controllers). I've been wanting to play Panzer Dragoon Orta for the longest time. That was such a fun game.
Well, before I can commit myself to some next-gen classics, I gotta go finish Bloodfist first.
