YouTube video by labmemb3r Archive Luigi's Mansion 2 HD - New Game+ in 2:49:56

Kept the local recording this time around

Luigi taking a nap at the end of Luigi's Mansion 2

New Game+
2:53:28 -> 2:49:56

Best clear times
A-2 (4:25), A-Boss (2:20), B-Boss (3:46)

Mission complete screen for the King Boo fight at the end of Luigi's Mansion 2 HD

New Game+
2:54:34 -> 2:53:28

Really glad Prime 4 is going to have a snow level

If Echoes had a snow level it would be the 2nd best game ever (the 1st being Mario 64)

New Game+
2:54:34 (first run)

Haven't finished cleaning up individual missions but "'tis the season" as they say

Mission complete screen of the Treacherous Mansion boss level in Luigi's Mansion 2 HD.

Treacherous Mansion (NG+)
36:49 -> 34:13

Still bad at boolossus 2, practice on E-2 and E-5 paid off. Also got a new spectral weight record which made me lose time lmao

PB had a 7:37 but was any% and not new game+ so probably had a slightly weaker poltergust.

End screen for Mission E-2 in Luigi's Mansion 2 HD with 6:49 clear time

I didn't really document my initial LM2HD arc when the game came out last year but this feels pretty good

LM2 initial benchmarking done; 2:49 in New Game+ would be an ideal start and I'll try and clean up from there

This game's structure ought to help me step away from single segment runs. Recklessly diving into single segment RTA and not keeping up has felt like a waste of time in many cases

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD mission select screen after a 24:31 Secret Mine run

Secret Mine RTA (NG+)
26:14 -> 24:31

Just had to remember what the hell I was supposed to do I guess

Luigi's Mansion 2 mission select after finishing a Secret Mine RTA in 26:14

Secret Mine in 26:14
Again set a really low bar for myself with a 25. If I can figure out D-3 I can maybe get a 23

Livesplit image of a 33:22 Haunted Towers RTA run of Luigi's Mansion 2 HD

First Haunted Towers RTA (33:22)

Initial goal was a 32 based on a fake 2:47 comparison but I can do much better than that

Luigi answering a call from E Gadd in LM2HD while a tablecloth is caught in the vacuum.

One thing I find funny about this game is that if the Poltergust gets caught on something when E Gadd calls Luigi the object (in this case the tablecloth) will stick to the vacuum as it retracts back onto Luigi's backpack

Gloomy Manor (NG+)
29:09 -> 28:27

Getting back into things

Might be time for some LM2HD 🎃 will try to balance with Mario since I'd like at least a 1:55 in 120 for now

Very likely to put LM3 behind me, much like LM1 and a handful of Sunshine/Dread categories where I simply failed to meet basic benchmarks in a reasonable amount of time

Ante 8 victory screen for the Jokerless challenge in Balatro

All challenges done, last one was kinda meh

Heavily reliant on investment tag ante 1 w/ the right vouchers and planets. Even then I'd just get straight up unlucky with some bosses

Winning attempt injected aces and steel cards into the deck, investing in 3 of a kind before pivoting to 4 of a kind

❤️ :)

My run's done but there's plenty more of the event! Go check it out :)

💚💚💚💚💚 :)

Thank you for the request!!!

New Hinoka in Fire Emblem Heroes!

Another win for flying unit enjoyers

Looking ahead I think FE8/10 has to be next right? The two best rosters in the series so I'm looking forward to it

My bad, I think blue stake is getting something other than "-1 discard", kind of like how gold stake used to just be "-1 hand size". Whether it ends up being easier or harder, who knows

Apparently blue stake is supposed to be made harder in an update? So I'm kind of putting that off until that happens so my accomplishments don't get like downplayed or anything

Ante 8 victory screen in Balatro for the Golden Needle challenge

Golden needle (1 hand, 6 discards, each discard costs $1) was an interesting challenge

Essentially the strategy was to fish out three lucky 5s from my hand every time and hope at least one of them gave me $20 to keep buying upgrades

Jokerless is the only challenge I haven't finished
