    "Given the choice of skipping a Curse, i have to take it."
    I mean i know what you meant but that is the most ambiguous rule I've heard.

    Yo bro. When you started randomly doing the math equation to figure out the exact size of the knife boss I was laughing like crazy. That’s random comedy done well, and entertainingly. You deserve so many more subscribers. Please do challenge videos for other games! Keep editing well!

    Don't usually like posting "aktcually" comments, but make exceptions in the case of wanting to provide video engagement.
    At 16:20 the awakened one move analysis includes "rebirth" which I'm pretty sure just refers to when you kill and phase the awakened one. There isn't a normal "cleanse debuffs" move in their attack rotation.

    Some thoughts/questions:
    I would have allowed relics like Enchiridion and Dead Branch because they don't modify the deck list, in contrast to relics like Dolly's Mirror and Pandora's Box.
    Could you have taken Tiny House in Act 1 and skipped the card pickup? Did you consider skipping the boss relic?
    Would you have counted a forced deck modification (like the Falling event or Writhing Mass's Parasite) as a failed run?
    Would you have allowed yourself to gain curses if you had charges from Omamori to negate them?
    How many attempts did it take for you to win with the Watcher on Ascension level 0?
    I'd be interested in seeing a run that defeats the Heart and/or is on a higher Ascension level. It would also be cool to see runs with other characters!

      All very good questions that I will try to give lackluster replies to.
      I mentioned it briefly in the intro that I was trying to avoid relics that added "permanent" cards to my deck. Not necessarily caring about if the deck list changes, more caring if I had a consistent way of getting cards that weren't in the starting deck. Enchiridion gives me a permanent (albeit random) power, and dead branch would basically do the same assuming I can exhaust cards somehow. Kinda a technicality but that's why I had then in the "not allowed" list.
      Yeah I totally could have. But tiny house sucks and doesn't deserve my respect regardless of if it's allowed.
      Unfortunately yes. Not because it actually makes the video more enjoyable knowing that I'm not allowed to get parasite, but because I would have to add that as a technically which makes the rules less clear cut.
      Yeah, 100%. As long as I don't actually ever have the card in my deck then I wouldn't consider it added.
      Probably 50-75. A lot of those are early resets on the hexaghost but there were a few that made it into act 2 or 3 and just died to rng.
      If you can find a way to block the 60 damage on turn 2 and 2x12 damage on turn 3 from the heart without getting decimated let me know and I'll totally try it out.

    Honestly this is such a great video! As a youtuber myself I can only say that the intro is holding you back bro. As funny as it is for those who have patience, most viewers DON’T and a 1-2 minute intro will never do well! My tip is just to do a really fast 5 second intro where you say ”Slay the Spire, no cards, let’s go!” in a funny voice and explain the rules in more detail as you skim through the first rooms! With an intro like that, this would easily get 20k views. I’m only trying to help, I loved the actual video, and I will definitely subscribe since I know you can go really far.
    Also, playing on A1 maybe would have been better since you get more chances for elites in act 1!

    Great video, though when you pause the video to explain something like at 10:30, I can't tell in the moment whether the video had frozen, or if it was just an editing choice. I'd recommend adding some effect to show that you're pausing, both to clear any confusion, and to add a pit more polish. Hope this can help improve the quality if your videos.

      I wasn't really playing for the heart (since it's basically impossible for the challenge) so there wasn't any real reason to take the key. I certainly could have but both options were pretty useless.

  • @ODISeth
    @ODISeth 21 день тому

    I’m very curious about the fact that the gameplay’s in ultrawide but the video itself is in 16:9. Is there a reason you squish the video down to 16:9 while editing rather than just editing in the game’s aspect ratio? The video editor in me is quite curious haha

    • @Ec1pz
      @Ec1pz  15 днів тому

      Some of these older videos were actually recorded on mobile where gameplay is ultra wide. 🙃

    • @ODISeth
      @ODISeth 15 днів тому

      @ ah, that makes sense! I can imagine mobile makes it easier to do challenges that require a TON of resets
      Have you considered perhaps editing the final video in the same aspect ratio? I, honestly, think ultrawide is a really neat style for UA-cam videos and I’d love to see more of it. Since you record gameplay in ultrawide, I didn’t know if it was an intentional choice to edit it to 16:9 instead.

    Pause, would the watcher starter relic be banned given it gives you an additional card? Toolbox and pure water do basically the same thing, 1 colorless card at the start of the fight

    • @Ec1pz
      @Ec1pz  3 місяці тому

      Well, because the video is already out, I'm contractually obligated to say no. In my defense, I thought of the challenge as on using the cards you're given by default. Which would include starting relics. Sorta the same justification I used in the no damage challenge with cracked core.

  • @doriancarter964
    @doriancarter964 3 місяці тому

    Here’s an idea for a challenge run: anytime your offered a card you must take it, and you must take whichever card is in the leftmost spot. This includes preferentially choosing relics that offer cards, and means that if you go to a shop you must buy cards left to right until you can’t afford any more

    • @Ec1pz
      @Ec1pz  3 місяці тому

      I was actually thinking of something along the same lines. Issue is, there's really not a huge drawback to having a big deck other than having less ability to make strategic plays. Might be harder on A20 though so maybe I'll play around with that. I like the idea!
