Watching you attempt those literal pixel-perfect jumps over and over boggles the mind. I mean, what level designer thinks painfully precise jumps are a worthwhile obstacle?
"Hey guys, you know what would be a fun and interesting challenge? A platform that you can juuuust barely jump to! Ha ha! By the hundredth attempt, the player will really be having fun!"
Schadenfreude comes to mind.
That game looks..painful.
Ugh. I HATE those kind of jumps that require you to be on the EXACT right pixel. Those really suck.
Priceless!
great video.
If you like quintet's stuff check out SoulBlazer for the snes. Many call it the first in a "trilogy" with illusion of gaia and terranigma and it's a severely good game .
Yeah, their later games were definitely better.
About Death Heim: You were correct the first time ;-)
I have a suggestion: Demon's crest, that game is insane especially the secret bosses, I can't beat it even using an emulator (and save states), please do an until we win about this game. Greethings from México
Jason,
Hey, you really improved on this video with making sure the onscreen events match what you are talking about - every time you talked about a boss, BAM! we see you fighting him.
Great video, good job!
I second Demon's Crest; I can beat all but the final secret boss without cheats or savestates, but it took nearly three months of nightly play to do it. The game is wicked hard to beat all the way through, but the fantastic music alone is enough to merit a review.
I love soulblazer!!!
I knew this game would be beaten (until you win) ever since I heard your podcast. Too bad you didn't leave us any clues as to what the next game would be :(
If any of you saw lordkat´s ustream of the making of this UWW you surlely knew that the dificult of this is way higher than it seems, this game is far beyond insane!!! but anyways, awsome UWW!!!
O_O Happy harry challenge http://www.blip.tv/file/3655881
Most people don't like it, but I love your pronunciation faux pas. It's become sort of a regular thing for you in UWW. "Poexl...Poexal?...Poxe..eh... he's a huge skull..."
"Hayubu...huya...shubadaboo...?" "Hayabusa." "Whatever."
And now Death Heim. "Heem? Hame?" XD
When does lordkat usually do his ustream? I want to be there this time. : )
Mmmmh, there are three lines for T-Shirt merchandise for UWW:
Until We Win (Obviously)
You will die ...alot!
Pixel Perfect Precision
Anyone got any more? :D

About the Jump in Benefic you can actually jump from the second half of the Platform and don't have to Pixel Jump from the Leaf :o
It's .. a tad easier that way 8D
DUDE!
I know this isn't about the video! but HVGN totally referenced you in his Krions Conquest game quickie video!
My biggest problem with Actraiser 2 was the walking speed of the main character. It's SOOOO SLLOOOOWW!
if you shield up you can block the snails boulders that drop, and that pixel perfect jump isnt as hard if you do it from the right platform. but you prolly knew this! and when will you do Captain Planet and the Planeteers!! do it
Two things:
(1) Awesome job beating a game I gave up on because it was too hard. Kudos to the master. (:
(2) If you haven't seen this already, then I do believe you've been called out by the Happy Video Game Nerd!

He even specifically uses the phrase "until we win" at the end. Are you gonna take that?! ;)

just seen a video of an obscure hard game (done by the HVGN)
The Krion Conquest on NES
the HVGN claimed he couldn't get very far in it
I wonder if this could be the game that finally defeats lordkat
No.
In fact, I'm kind of offended that you're even thinking about this.
Have you so soon forgotten about Snake, Rattle & Roll; Battletoads; Who Framed Roger Rabbit; Mission Impossible; Super Ghouls N' Ghosts; Bebe's Kids; and Ninja Gaiden? James isn't the final authority on everything that is video games, you know, as Jason has proved MANY times in the past. Seriously, if it takes one game for you to lose his confidence in him, I wonder why you're watching this series at all.
Pleas stop taking LordKat's gaming ability so seriously this show is not about being the ultimate skilled gamer its about showing you how to beat the game the best he can, LordKat is on a tight schedule so he uses certain emulator tricks to help him beat games so please understand that he can beat any game quite easily and for that matter so can you.
Hey anon.....We could also be douche bags like you too....do you use emulator tricks for that?
Save states allow him to get the footage and mark his place. They do not help with pixel perfect jumping.
Get a life.
Douche bag, really? also you do know he uses save states to beat the game he even said it in his latest VLOG, so please get your facts right and do not lie about it. I only commented here because of the posts about LordKat's gaming ability.
Great Job Jason. Still requesting Superman sunsoft sega genesis. Maybe as a cross over with Linkara.
btw off subject great job with the crew from that guy with the glasses even laughed at the bloopers maybe you could do a vlog about it.
Great video figured I'd get active on this. When's the meetup vid gonna be up? I found myself in a lot of the pics randomly it was like where's Waldo.
I should have mentioned snagit but I am glad someone did.
This is the dude from csi Daniel Agman btw.
ok fuck you're famous now and I feel like a friggen fanboy for some reason but yea Petingi ( the assembly class guy) still talks about you he always asks how you're doing. Now I have something to tell him.
To everyone else I'm the guy who told the story of the blind code debugger at the meetup. Ok no more from me
ok now I'm done
Yes really Anon-douche.
Save states help him to beat the game as it allows him to save his place in front of a tricky jump so if he fails to make it and drops on the spikes of instant death he doesn't have to make it back through to that jump. It does not make the jump for him. It does not figure out the boss's weak point. It does not give him endless magic/ammo/flying power.
I have seen every UWW so why don't you get your facts straight when you are done spewing that vinegar water out your mouth, douche?
Damn you people that are harassing him like he is using a game genie.
Get over it.
Name calling still does not help your cause, being about to have infinite attempts at certain parts of a game not only is cheating, it is going against the original UWW rules, as LordKat said "no SAVE STATES, Play it like it's on the NES".
Because he is constantly repeating hard sections of a game and using rapid fire (you should also know he uses rapid fire, you have watch all of his videos yes?) we are just bringing it up not to harrass him (I am not addressing this reply to LordKat) but just to bring out the truth so viewers watch his videos without being mislead.
Being a chicken Anon doesn't help your crybaby cause either.
He told you why he does it. If you can't respect it then gtfo.
Everyone has infinite tries on a certain part. Just start from the beginning of the level and make your way there. Or if you run out of lives restart the game and get there again.
The difference is time. People like you who have nothing to do in their lives but cry on the interwebs (like anyone cares about your opinion) can't seem to understand that.
Now I am done replying to Anons....keep crying and hopefully your computer shorts out from it.
Hey do you know that its much easier to beat a hard jump with save states because you can try it over and over again instantly and don't have to get through the level to get 1 try and die again? It's called practice so yes it IS EASIER WITH SAVE STATES EVEN IF IT DON'T JUMP FOR YOU -.- Stop defending him he has made clear he's using them.
Thats why he fell from my personal top reviewers list and got mediocre. There are a lot of reviewers out there using help. Being one who don't use any emulator cheats made him something special because then it's a matter of skill. But he has that tight schedule he said and that's why he "can't" do it without save states. And because of the "good money" he's making. He said that himself! It's ok but don't expect some people not being dissapointed. And btw im not that Anon from above.
I played many hard games and it often took many weeks..thats why i wanted to see someone who can beat them fair in a shorter amount of time or even games i haven't beaten yet. I wanted to see a more skilled gamer than i am but was dissapointed here. So i stop complaining now. He has his reasons. I have my opinion. End
The problem with infinite tries is that it trivializes the difficulty, when you were not meant to be given that many attempts in continuation at certain more challenging parts of a game, if you or anyone else thinks otherwise then I feel sorry for them.
As I said before I understand the time issues and that is fine, the issue is people still believe he does not use any kind of aid to assist him and that is just untrue.
I would prefer you not to reply to this as I get the feeling this discussion is past your ability, you are attempting to attack me personally rather then giving new ideas on the situation.
Simple fact. You can't use savestates and then say you're not using cheats.
USING SAVESTATES IS CHEATING! It's playing the game in a way the original designers never intended. LordKat is taking software from outside the game and using it to manipulate that game in his favour.
My anonymity doesn't negate the facts.
Heck, by using emulator copies of the NES games, isn't that also piracy?
Or do the LordKat fans who support his lies so blindly also support his theft?
Okay, I see the point the anons are making. They are allowed to post "LordKat sucks" just as much as the rest of us are allowed to post "LordKat is awesome". I get it, Free Speech and whatnot.
But accusing the guy of theft? You have no proof. Say all you want about his admitting to using savestates, since you can back that up, but don't accuse the guy of stealing just because you are pissed off. I'm sure he gets his copies legitimately, or he'd have legal problems with making money off them. Give the guy some credit.
Everyone, just STFU and enjoy the video. Take your fighting elsewhere.
These comments are on topic and are made post watching the video so I see no reason to stop this discussion, the piracy/legal issue is gray area as Nintendo clearly say any emulation is illegal even if you back up your own ROM using the hardware.
There is the US law about making backups, but it seems you must create a backup of your own cartridge using a backup someone else created is still illegal even if you own the original game.
Thank you Lordkat. Now I know I'm better than you (I do not use savestate).
;-)
You should change the name to "Until We Use Savestates".
Lordkat is a fraud! I want my money back. ¬¬
We use savestates, Until We Win! LOL! XD
You need to change your catchfrase: You gonna use savestate, A LOT!
LOL
Dear people who comment on Savestates : Go fuck yourself
To all the geezers supporting save states. I can beat Contra and Super C without dying ONCE, go buy yourself a pair and talk to me when you are a legitimate old school gamer. No, seriously, put a cucumber where it fits best.
Also, I really wouldn't care about the whole save state thing if he made it exempt in the rules and also if he didn't berate the AVGN for not beating Ninja Gaiden.
With the game Bloodwings: Pumpkinheads Revenge, I really wanted to see you beat the game legit as it was a challenge, but it seems you may not of even played the game at all :( at least you did state in the end credits that you used youtube footage of the game so respects for that, still I would of liked you to play the game. I know save states don't work for PC but please don't tell me that is why you avoided it.
The video was still funny as Spoony is awesome but the portrayal of you that is made as being this awesome gamer is flat out lying to your audience and shows them a lot of disrespect.
Nixon didn't get this much flack and he lied to the world.
STFU and GTFO already
Can the people defending LordKat maybe say something constructive, repeating the same lines over and over again and just saying STFU shows the immaturity of some of his fans.
