The point where Sonic 2 goes from a 2/10 difficulty to the hardest game on the SNES.Have to beat the two hardest bosses in the game in a row without getting hit once. Pure memorization bullshit combined absolutely broken and nonsensical hitboxes.Just shut the game off as soon as you reach Oil Ocean if you actually want to keep a positive opinion of this piece of shit game
>>12544009if you think the sonic 2 bosses are hard, you haven't played enough retro games. the 3 genesis games are very much on the easy side for the 4th generation...save for s3&k doomsday level, that is legitimately difficult. and that's not even required to beat the game, only 100%ing it
>he didn't stock 10+ continues by this pointSkill issue
>>12544016It's not hard, it's just onehit trial and error bullshit broken dogshit hitboxes with limited continues to cuck you at the very end of the game after everything prior was a pushover Once you know the strategy it's braindead easy, but it's just more cheap gotcha trollshit at the end of a game full of cheap gotcha trollshitGod, Sonic is such a kuso dogshit overrated series, and nothing better exemplifies it than this. Anything past 1 is pure bottom of the barrel trash
>>12544009i didn't have any trouble beating sonic 2 on my snes in the 90s
>>12544028Kids back in the day would play Sonic 2 for 6 months straight and their friends or Nintendo Power would tell them the OP cheese strats for the final bosses. It's not an accomplishment, champ, nor does it excuse the pisspoor design.
>>12544009Who put the difficulty in the game if people didn't 'artificially' make it difficult. Is there a tooth fairy for proper game difficulty? This is one of those online phrases that tells you that you're talking to an idiot that doesn't understand games. 'artificial difficulty'
>>12544009The problem is that the 'safe' way to kill the eggrobo is agonizingly tedious and slow, so you're likely to make mistakes out of impatience. You have to know certain safe spots that are not entirely intuitive to kill it in a reasonable time frame.
>>12544009It's really not a big deal, OP. You might lose a few times until you get how to win, but once you do... it's quite simple. If you find this hard, avoid the Game Gear port.
>>12544009Yeah it's stupid. I can beat it but only because it was one of my only games on the system and I had the time to play it on repeat until it became muscle memory. But if you're playing it for the first time today there's no shame whatsoever in using a save state at the start of the level or using the stage select to get there (but you still have to beat the level fairly, faggot).
I could never beat the Death Egg Robo as a kid. Nowadays I have a reliable strategy but it takes so long
>>12544009i wouldn't say it's the hardest but the badnik placement and Tails ruining the bonus stages make it bullshit-tier>inb4 babby zoomzoom who only played Origins and its nerfed bonus stages lectures me about Tails not being fucking annoying
>>12544141It's hilarious when some autist comes in with a long post about how Tails only gets rings you miss anyway while overlooking that sometimes he gets pushed into the lead position when you hit a mine, thereby fucking you in an unavoidable way, which is essentially rape. It becomes a mad dash to get hit again to push him to the back again but you just both end up getting hit and the positions stay the same. Yeah, not annoying at all.
>>12544141>>12544149OP was talking about the final boss, bot-kun-tachi.
>>12544153OP doesn't own the internet, OP. we talk about whatever the fuck we wanna
>>12544158Ok bot-kun.
>>12544009IIRC it's 8 hits on mecha Sonic and 12 on the Eggman robot, so 20 total. Not that hard. The spike hitbox on the robot's arms is a bitch though, especially if you play as Knuckles (via lock-on).
>>12544009I still think its funny that Death Egg has a great tune, but you dont get to hear it for longer than 5 seconds unless you sit there and idle.
>>12544016>save for s3&k doomsday levelGenuinely a lot easier than sonic 2 death egg.
>>12544171was gonna say exactly this, only the Knuckles vs Egg Robo fight was challenging, due to his shorter jump heightjust don't get greedy with your hits and it'll be fineMetal/Silver Sonic is funnily enough the shortest boss fight in the game if you know what you're doing, as you can take him out before his second passSonic 2 was literally the first game I ever beat as a child (too young/hyper to finish anything on NES), so it shouldn't be hard for an adult
>>12544009>The point where Sonic 2 goes from a 2/10 difficulty to the hardest game on the SNES.>SNES
>>12544115the 8 bit games were never ports
>>12544009mechasonic is very easy. you just have to pattern memorize. robotnik seems hard, but hes actually just really tedious. avoid the landing, get a hit in while he's bent over. with good timing/spacing you can jump at him while he walks, but its tight. slow shit, slow patterns. just dont be impatient.
>>12544195had to scroll all the way down to see this. OP must be some kind of dumbdumb
>>12544171Beating him with Knuckles is the second hardest boss in the classic series, with the first being the Labyrinth Zone boss (actually beating him, not just getting to the top).
>>12544009sonic is way too easy
>>12544009
There is no such thing as "artificial difficulty". There are however genuine tears.

>>12544692>anything the snowflake generations do is genuinelol
>>12544549You can't beat the Labyrinth boss, you can hit him 8 times and he will start burning like usual then fly away, but you still have to go through the same obstacle course, so it's pretty pointlessMarble Zone (act 2) boss as Tails is also pretty difficult due to the jank way you have to hit him
>>12544695I'm >>12544473 and will now eat my words. Gonna have to try this out asap. Thanks anon.
>>12545062Sure but it's still the hardest end level Robotnik to get 8 hits on.
>>12544009>the hardest game on the SNESIt was probably hard to beat on the SNES because it was never released on the SNES.
People who think like OP only ever score hits on Robotnik when he leans forward after his landing attack. They don't know that just before he blasts off he pulls his arms back enough to hit him safely too.
