We recommend making a backup of the original file and your saves (just in case, although saves shouldn't be affected). The mod works by replacing subtitles, so when you have subtitles on, you will see the damage display, and when you turn them off your game will work normally! IMPORTANT FOR RUNNERS: if you're going to submit a speedrun, your game must be vanilla, that means you can't have this mod installed when submitting a run, even with the subtitles off! And I forgot to mention that the coin power display mod is separate from the damage display mod, and I don't have it on hand to share a link at the moment. I'll ask around and see if I can find something. EDIT: I had to mute the gigachad segment because the video got blocked for some people. I think the community is more important than a meme. (Besides, you can probably hear the song in your head either way!)
@@Biggiecheese7168 I tried reuploading it: drive.google.com/file/d/1HDer97y7C7DDOstVQaw146JlDKpD19S4/view?usp=share_link I think I will make an installation and usage guide today after work, and maybe make a few backup links. Until then, see if this one works.
If you want to practice railcoinpunces without dmg mod spawn a Ferryman to do so, if you do tech corectly it one-shots him. edit: Bad news guys, after p-2 nerf Ferryman have 30 hp
Actually excellent tip. Somebody upvote this man so more people see this! I would pin this comment, but I need to keep mine pinned, as youtube doesn't allow me to post links in my description yet.
And if anyone's wondering, the nerf to the ferryman health thankfully does not affect this method. A failed railcoinpunch will do 27, so it still doesn't kill
@@kyyourneutralisminekiske7104 Actually, it kind of does affect it. Landing a railcoin punch will do 34 damage, which will kill the ferryman, but landing the best railcoin punch (without coin adding) goes all the way up to 42 damage. After the patch, you won't know if you're throwing the coins too high up or not, only if your punch timing is good.
@@Sheba7660 well, that's why we say these things so people can correct us haha Is there any other enemy with that sweet spot HP where a well-timed RCP will kill, but a just okay one won't?
@@kyyourneutralisminekiske7104 V2 (first encounter) has 40 hp and no resistance to rails, so it should work. He is a bit small though, so it will be difficult. I like practicing on targets that I would usually use ot against (Minos, Sisyphus, Gabe...). Thankfully, you can display health bars in sandbox now, so it's an alright approximation of the damage display mod, but the mod is more granular and readable.
@@YOUAREANIDIOTHAHAHAHAHA1 This community WILL grow over time, no matter what anyone does. The game, the memes, the speedruns, everything is just too interesting for the game to stay small. And the more people get in here, the louder the small minority of bad members becomes. Best we can do is enjoy it while it lasts, and try not to ruin our own community by being overly protective (and also don't promote bad behaviour - for instance, negatively rating the game 'cuz of memes)
@@yektaagra741 To "symbolize" in the same "format" that the game is considered "easy" to learn, you should "say" that the "floor" is rather "high" rather than "saying" the "floor" is rather "low", as originally the "saying" that the "skill ceiling" is "high" means that "mastering" the game is "hard" because the "skill ceiling" is "high", meaning it is hard to "reach". Thus, you should "say" that the "floor" is "high", because if you "say" that the "floor" is "low", you are saying that the "ceiling" is hard to "reach", which goes "against" what "you" are saying.
@@Carnifier skill floor is the minimum amount of skill you need to play a game skill ceiling is the maximum amount of skill you can show in a game Think of the soldier and sniper from tf2. Most players playing soldier can play decently with just splash damage from rockets; but they can immensely improve their performance by learning direct hits, airshots, rocket jumping, secondaries etc. There is so much to learn and master when playing soldier. We would call this a class with a low skill floor and high skill ceiling. In contrast, if you want to be decent at sniper you HAVE to have good aiming skills. If you cant half-consistently hit headshots, youre only a liability to your team. And if you want to get better, the only way you can do so is by improving your aim. Unlockables and secondaries dont have much to teach you either (with maybe the huntsman as an exception). We would call this a class with a high skill floor and low skill ceiling. Im using class based shooters as an example, but this can be applied to any game. The difficulty of getting to a higher level of skill or getting to the skill ceiling you are talking about can be defined by the "learning curve"
@@yektaagra741do you think that a new player on standard can beat Ultrakill without mastering weapon combos, timings and enemy move-sets, movement (sliding jumping slamming), and parrying? I mean mastering either most or all of these things. Also, do you think someone who has naturally slower reaction times, basically someone who could play Far Cry but not CSGO, someone who can’t manage large diverse groups of enemies due to mild lack of coordination can beat this game on standard? Cus I’m thinking of a game like Far Cry. I feel like anyone can beat that game. But I don’t think everyone can beat this game. I also think that even cognitively normative individuals who could otherwise beat things like Risk of Rain 2, Metrovania titles, or Baulder’s Gate 3 wouldn’t necessarily be able to beat this game. I feel like this game, like Souls games, requires someone with a certain kind of cognitive acuity that’s apt at working memory, reaction timing, multitasking, and executive function during stress in order to BEAT on standard. Furthermore, I think it requires a gamer that approaches games with a “hardcore” or generally more dedicated attitude than people who play games casually or play them to “unwind and relax”. To me, this distinguishes successful Ultrakill players as apart from 80% or so of all people who play video games. Maybe someone just messing around _could_ best Ultrakill without movement and weapon mechanic competence, but that would be success by luck, not skill. My point is, I feel as though there are soooo many other games that people who wouldn’t be able to beat Ultrakill would be able to beat, meaning that the skill floor is not the lowest possible.
informative, entertaining, well made, great video! as someone who thought coin adding was the deepest it went, i'm ELATED to have to tech to practice, especially when explained in such an easy to understand way.
That was the idea behind the video. I stumbled upon SRCs by a complete fluke, asked around some speedrunners, got in touch with Jmacca and then realized it was just the tip of the iceberg. Took me around a month to practice and understand the timings and mechanics. I didn't u n d e r s t a n d SRC timing until i was editing it and going frame by frame. It was a really fun learning experience that I'm really thankful to the community (especially Jmacca, Herb, Ross, Floof...) for.
Just now seeing this (at least while I'm actually concious lol) and this is amazingly well done! I was secretly hoping someone would do an advanced coin video, so thanks for that! You did a great job with the editing and explanations as well. It's nice to have another potential guide maker/editor in the community. Hoping to see more things from you eventually! PS I'm not just saying this since I'm featured :P
I have a few more guide ideas, but I also have some plans to branch out a bit. It will also be this well edited, but I don't wanna say what it is at the moment.
Lmfao what does Hakita think about this kind of stuff bro? Like, the community suddenly using a tech that a guy discovered just because the ULTRA-PLOT needed it, that must be really cool, just giving some tools to a large group to have fun with, W.
I've seen people do this in videos and I did it on accident a few times in sandbox but I thought that it was just a glitch or something. Good to know this is an actual feature and that anyone could learn to use this.
Dude, you are the fucking GOAT! This is the kind of shit I and other lower tier Speedruners needed for learning this insane tech. With timings to boot. This is 10x better than looking at the Speedrun and trying to copying exactly what is happening and hoping I am doing it right.
Thanks! I guess I'll keep making more edited videos like this, as the reception for this video has been incredible. For now, I think the existing guides cover most of what is in the game, so I am not sure if there's anything that needs to be covered. Maybe a level by level speedrunning analysis when the game fully releases (since routes will change drastically with every addition)? Gonna post one or two short videos in the meantime, as I'm working on the next bigger video. I think I might have something interesting to work on, but it's not a guide, so I hope the people who subbed because of this video enjoy that, too.
Since the damage calculator mod is broken atm, know that you can listen for railgun hits in the game audio, if you hear 4 then youve done it correctly, if 3 then you messed up somewhere. Also, you should punch the coin right after the second hitsound if you're having trouble with that.
if you feel like you can’t do most of these, there’s something really funny you can do: on bosses with long monologues (like gabriel rematch and minos prime) you can whiplash coins to make them bounce a small bit. I don’t know how to deadcoin, but i think whiplashing it could be absurdly useful in future runs
Heyyy, glad to hear! You should stop by the speedrunning discord, those guys are really supportive. They'll teach you stuff and help you improve. Lemme know if there's maybe more stuff I could cover? I can't think of anything special at the moment
A man of culture. I am thinking of making a sort of montage of cybergrind set to space dandy music. Since I started making this guide, I went from my PB being wave 23 to 68, so I got some neat clips! EDIT: what's your favorite episode?
I dunno about mine... maybe the season 2 finale, or the fish episode (the one where they teleport) or the chameleonean episode. But pretty much all of them are amazing and can be rewatched many times. Except the musical episodes... I kinda don't vibe with those
happened across this video now, was astonished how accurate all the info was and then saw jay pop up, which definitely explains a couple things lol not sure how i missed this until now, but still wanted to comment this is probably the best breakdown of these pretty niche coin techs outside of incoherent speedrunner ramblings on discord, which, for just about everyone, likely is not nearly as helpful as a video like this very glad a video that explains how all this works is out there, especially one this one well put together :)
Thanks for stopping by! I had no idea that this video would blow up the channel. My mic was bad, and I rushed the video towards the end because we were working on it for a month. Aaaand there was a few export issues because I was upscaling it to 4k, since small channels get their videos super compressed unless you upload in 4k. Wish I could redo it, honestly, but it still came out better than expected.
honestly, id have never noticed any of the problems you mentioned here, everything turned out super good also, huge props for sticking through with it to the end as well, that can easily be one of the most difficult parts
This is awesome. I just uploaded a video of me doing this with coin adds and whiplashing the 4th coin to get 16x ultraricoshot (wasn't sure how to measure the damage but I did it in the Sisiyphus fight and I'm definitely missing on some extra damage due to timing).
Gameplay depth is what keeps people coming back. You can discuss the graphics, story, progression, etc. as much as you want. But overall, especially over a longer period of time... gameplay is KING. Look at any game that has tech. You'll have people optimizing, exploring the mechanics, practicing for speedruns, making guides, etc etc. That's what I think, at least. (I still love good stories and pretty graphics, but if the gameplay is mid, I tend to never replay those games, or in the past few years, not even finish them).
@@Sheba7660 I searched for like 3 hours couldnt find anything and gave up And then this video properly explains it which allows me to properly learn it
Deadcoining is simple to execute, the hardest part is learning when to start doing it. Railcoin punches aren't TOO hard to get, as long as you are going for the 35 damage one. 42 damage is a bit harder, but you should be able to get it after practicing a few times before playing. The coin add is really hard, though, but it will feel easy once you master the previous steps. Once you learn the 35 damage one, regular railcoins will become so easy you'll be able to throw them out whenever. The damage display mod is in the pinned comment, it will help you get this tech down!
It's not that hard to lans the 35 damage one. And you get to PUNCH LIGHTNING. I am waiting for Jmacca to come back and then we'll set up a download for the damage display mod. You'll learn it easily!
It's written in the pinned comment, too: " replace the file by the same name in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ULTRAKILL\ULTRAKILL_Data\Managed". We recommend backing up your original file, just so you don't have to redownload the game if something breaks. Also you might wanna back up your save, just in case ( \steamapps\common\ULTRAKILL\Saves). Turn on the subtitles to enable the mod, turn them off to play normally. I didn't have ANY issues with the game after installing, but you can never be too careful!
I even removed the install tutorial from my channel. I guess I have to remove it from the comments here too. It hasn't been updated in a long time, so it doesn't work anymore.
Mfw a fucking coin has enough tech to fuel 33 minutes of informational videos and several spreadsheets 🗿(thanks a ton tho, imma practice this now to deal with P-2 easier
The music not only got copyright claimed, but it also blocked the video for everybody in Russia, Eastern Europe, and several other countries (even I couldn't watch my own video lol) Letting more people upgrade their coin tech > shitty meme :)
One day I will achieve mastery of the coin. Only then will I finally like defeat Minos? He still kicks my ass every single time, I'm barely P-Ranking the rest of the game xD
Holy shit, I P-ranked all levels (except P-1, lel), and thought I was good at this game. Oh, lord, after watching this vid I understand how wrong I was.
I P ranked the game, excluding P-1, like you. I thought I was good. Like 6 months later I came back and P ranked P-1, along with layers 5 and 6. I thought I was good. When messing around i accidentally landed an SRC and went down the rabbithole. Learned some new tech and I thought I was good. Over the next two weeks I went from cybergrind wave 23 to wave 68. I went from being unable to chargeback consistently to landing chargebacks mid rocket jump. You'll learn crazy stuff almost every time you boot this game up. You'll get really good with some practice, don't think any of us were great at the game when we started. Just practice here and there and develop your own style!
im still trying to do the rcp tech in sandbox,but even then the railgun either hits the first coin before i parry it or when i parry the coin,it does at maximum 2 ultraricoshots
2x rico is usually when you hit the close coin first. This happens because the rail has such a huge hitbox. You should watch the new coin video, too. There's some simpler stuff there, and SlCPs have like, a 2x longer timing window, so once you figre those out, RCPs should be a bit easier!
I really don't know what I'm doing wrong with deadcoins: I'm doing the setup, punch the coin into the ground 3 times and while it's in the air throw another coin and shoot it and repeat 3 more times. (4 more dead coins) I punch the coin into Minos 2 times but it doesn't deal the massive amount of damage and the style meter just says ricochet x4
The high ricoshot counter is purely aesthetic (it doesn't do more damage), and you can only get it by doing deadcoins during the split window (when the first coin is flashing or singing). As for the low damage... I'd say you're either dropping the combo somewhere, or you need to deadcoin more (some runners deadcoin even more than 4-5 coins because they use the whiplash to hold the coin in the air). If you need specific tips, ask around in the discord, especially speedrunners. Someone will surely be willing to take a look at your timing.
You could say so. But the amount of people capable of executing these strats all at once is really small. But as a viewer, having most boss fights done before pretty much during the cutscene and the second after can be somewhat samey. Only when you try to maintain a saw trap and a deadcoin combo do you see how hard it is. That being said, I do wish we had bosses where even speedrunners would have to improvise and adapt to attack patterns.
I tried reuploading it here: drive.google.com/file/d/1HDer97y7C7DDOstVQaw146JlDKpD19S4/view?usp=share_link I will probably make an installation and usage guide today after work, so if this link doesn't work either, just be patient a bit longer and I'll try to get it sorted!
do you think its possible to slab rail and throw extra coins if your fast enough, like lets say you jump toss 2 coins slab rail press 1 twice to go back to marksman and throw the rest
It is possible, but it won't do much more damage than a regular SRC. The only real bonus damage would be from passthroughs. The real scary combo would be to combine deadcoining and SRCs (a lot of speedrunners do this already, just check the clips in my guide and you'll see both deadcoining and SRCs in many examples). I would love to see a deadcoin, slabrailcoin, and then adding 2 coins. That would be pretty cool! Fun fact: you can railcoinwhiplash, too. It's really stylish, but does less damage than railcoining.

I am thinking of making a sort of montage of cybergrind set to space dandy music. Since I started making this guide, I went from my PB being wave 23 to 68, so I got some neat clips!
EDIT: what's your favorite episode?
@@Sheba7660 Damn, 68? Nice dude
I think my favourite one is episode 8, it's just damn good
I dunno about mine... maybe the season 2 finale, or the fish episode (the one where they teleport) or the chameleonean episode. But pretty much all of them are amazing and can be rewatched many times. Except the musical episodes... I kinda don't vibe with those
My word
Never knew rpc and src existed, each day I always learn something new about this game!
happened across this video now, was astonished how accurate all the info was and then saw jay pop up, which definitely explains a couple things lol
not sure how i missed this until now, but still wanted to comment this is probably the best breakdown of these pretty niche coin techs outside of incoherent speedrunner ramblings on discord, which, for just about everyone, likely is not nearly as helpful as a video like this
very glad a video that explains how all this works is out there, especially one this one well put together :)
Thanks for stopping by! I had no idea that this video would blow up the channel. My mic was bad, and I rushed the video towards the end because we were working on it for a month. Aaaand there was a few export issues because I was upscaling it to 4k, since small channels get their videos super compressed unless you upload in 4k.
Wish I could redo it, honestly, but it still came out better than expected.
honestly, id have never noticed any of the problems you mentioned here, everything turned out super good
also, huge props for sticking through with it to the end as well, that can easily be one of the most difficult parts
im gonna try these right now, 120 hours in replaying the same 2 hour capign in diffrent ways never gets old.
This is awesome. I just uploaded a video of me doing this with coin adds and whiplashing the 4th coin to get 16x ultraricoshot (wasn't sure how to measure the damage but I did it in the Sisiyphus fight and I'm definitely missing on some extra damage due to timing).
Great video! I've been looking for a guide on railcoinpunching for ages.
Doctor i dont feel so good
Nice vid btw
I prescribe railcoinpunching every boss that ever gave you trouble twice a day. Early in the morning and once before bed.
really good guide this helped a lot
Hakitas reaction to those strats when they first came out must have been hilarious.
Ultrakill players are like hollow knight speedrunners, they stretch the game to its limits just to squeeze off two milliseconds
Gameplay depth is what keeps people coming back.
You can discuss the graphics, story, progression, etc. as much as you want.
But overall, especially over a longer period of time... gameplay is KING.
Look at any game that has tech. You'll have people optimizing, exploring the mechanics, practicing for speedruns, making guides, etc etc.
That's what I think, at least.
(I still love good stories and pretty graphics, but if the gameplay is mid, I tend to never replay those games, or in the past few years, not even finish them).
@@Sheba7660 exactly! This is why some games like tf2 are still around
Awesome vid
Oh so what I’ve been doing was a cruder version of RCP. I never knew it already had a term but neat.
finally
someone that actually explains slab railcoining
You're welcome!
@@Sheba7660 I searched for like 3 hours couldnt find anything and gave up
And then this video properly explains it which allows me to properly learn it
The bosses see you as the boss at this point
Fantastic video
I knew coins were the strongest thing in the game, but I didn't expect something that was this strong... HOLY SHIT!
It will be a very scary day if the devs decide to add another hitscan weapon
@@Sheba7660 good news :]
Red Revolver Variant on the 27th
@@drfranklive2222 Looks super cool! I wonder about all the new interactions it could have...
I'm only a 1:18 in, and you have to be the first UA-camr I've seen to say "and now that I have your attention" and actually get to say it lmao.
I knew I had to show some crazy clips before getting into the 15 minute long explanations
I FINALLY LEARNED HOW TO DO THE GABRIEL, APOSTATE OF HATE TRICK! Thank you so much
Happy to hear that! Go kick his ass!
i was thinking that i would know all of this stuff but i couldnt have been more wrong💀 great video btw
Thanks!
I'm currently researching my next one regarding keybinds (what do high level players use and why, including speedrunners)
Hakita was making ultrakill and was asking himself, what could I make coins do?
Oh I know, *YES*
i can handle slabrailcoin but not the other ones
i simply do not have enough reaction time to do such
Deadcoining is simple to execute, the hardest part is learning when to start doing it. Railcoin punches aren't TOO hard to get, as long as you are going for the 35 damage one. 42 damage is a bit harder, but you should be able to get it after practicing a few times before playing. The coin add is really hard, though, but it will feel easy once you master the previous steps.
Once you learn the 35 damage one, regular railcoins will become so easy you'll be able to throw them out whenever.
The damage display mod is in the pinned comment, it will help you get this tech down!
jmacca really is a complete chad
100% agree
Love the editing :)
Thanks!
"if your sound is even registering input then you aint playing right."
good video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! The Jmacca gigachad bit got muted by UA-cam copyright though. :(
I know, I had to mute it so everyone could watch, as it got blocked in a few countries after I posted it.
space dandy reference appreciated
Hell yeah, baby!
Thank you
No problem!
I've noticed that the railgun hitstun is framerate dependent making the coin timing harder on higher framerate
I did not know this! Nice find!
Literaly Pay-to-lose
bro what
only 300 views???
it's a start!
Ultra kill fighting vs ultrakill fighting when people use all their tools
Deadcoining for 3 minutes until you can kill gabriel in 6-2 with a single coin punch is pretty good practice
15 minute coin video 2
pretty much, yeah
My brain hurts from the slabrailcoining but its ok :).
Would you believe me if I told you it still kinda feels like that for me, too?
@@Sheba7660 yes
im definitely experimenting with this tonight
*Lore Accurate V1*
I think the giga chad joke is infinitely funnier with the mute, it was so jarring
Well, that makes me feel somewhat better about it!
V1 sitting on roomba is the best ultrakill meme
Changr my mind
great vid bruh
You gave me great clips to use, bro
@DrFeelGood based space dandy reference btw
@@Westaxle ayyy, thanks! Amazing show, honestly. I was thinking of doing some cybergrind highlights synced to some space dandy music!
That intro made ULTRAKILL in to INFINITEKILL
0:01 you mean "Counter Strike 2's" video?
Ultrakill players go hard
We do a little coining
equivalent to charging up your charged stagger punish knock down
God I literally cannot wait for update any longer
Im gonna explode
Bro, same.
Try learning some of this stuff while you wait! It'll keep you occupied for a few weeks!
I met the guy who currently holds WR for all P-1 categories in vrchat he’s a cool guy
Yeah, Westaxle is a pretty chill dude. Honestly, every speedrunner I talked to has been really nice. Wholesome community!
not gonna sugarcoat it
I thought i was smart because I could do railcoin, but ultrarailcoinpunch is too much for me
It's not that hard to lans the 35 damage one. And you get to PUNCH LIGHTNING. I am waiting for Jmacca to come back and then we'll set up a download for the damage display mod. You'll learn it easily!
Damage display mod is up! Check the pinned comment!
@@Sheba7660 how do I install this
It's written in the pinned comment, too: " replace the file by the same name in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ULTRAKILL\ULTRAKILL_Data\Managed". We recommend backing up your original file, just so you don't have to redownload the game if something breaks. Also you might wanna back up your save, just in case ( \steamapps\common\ULTRAKILL\Saves).
Turn on the subtitles to enable the mod, turn them off to play normally.
I didn't have ANY issues with the game after installing, but you can never be too careful!
subbed just because of the space dandy reference, goooood shit
Just tried to install the damage display mod, had to delete ultrakill and reinstall it!
Things going so good rn
👍👍👍👍
I even removed the install tutorial from my channel. I guess I have to remove it from the comments here too. It hasn't been updated in a long time, so it doesn't work anymore.
Mfw a fucking coin has enough tech to fuel 33 minutes of informational videos and several spreadsheets 🗿(thanks a ton tho, imma practice this now to deal with P-2 easier
Working on an in-depth guide on p-2 at the moment!
I'm trying to get it out as soon as I can, but I can't give an exact time, so when it's done!
5:37 periodically used in this video to showcase the dama- silence
slab piercer 5:57
The music not only got copyright claimed, but it also blocked the video for everybody in Russia, Eastern Europe, and several other countries (even I couldn't watch my own video lol)
Letting more people upgrade their coin tech > shitty meme :)
@@Sheba7660 👍
ultrakill
I guess shooting a coin is a martial art after all
I always carry 4 coins in my back pocket for self defense
Bro after act 3 is out you'll be able to do do a major on ultrakill weapon techniques
Looking forward to it! Would be nice to update my guides, since I think my quality drastically improved since this video
Guys I'm not so sure if I'm good at the game anymore
At this point v1 should be a god indestructible and can kill primes souls, angels and thousands of enemys with just a coin and other weapons
You just described the average speedrun
[ok this is crazy] meme here
One day I will achieve mastery of the coin. Only then will I finally like defeat Minos? He still kicks my ass every single time, I'm barely P-Ranking the rest of the game xD
I just managed to do an RCP, I'm getting close >:D
i somehow made 43 damage with a normal rcp lmao

Who made the thumbnail I love buff ultrakill
I did! I just traced over Joseph and Caesar's pose and added a few touches here and there. If you like buff men, you can't go wrong with JoJo's
@@Sheba7660dang nice I thought it was Baki cause of how thick v1 is
@@omasopa2575 when p2 releases, I should draw the boss as yujiro hanma
@@Sheba7660 definitely would be great
Holy shit, I P-ranked all levels (except P-1, lel), and thought I was good at this game.
Oh, lord, after watching this vid I understand how wrong I was.
I P ranked the game, excluding P-1, like you. I thought I was good.
Like 6 months later I came back and P ranked P-1, along with layers 5 and 6. I thought I was good.
When messing around i accidentally landed an SRC and went down the rabbithole. Learned some new tech and I thought I was good.
Over the next two weeks I went from cybergrind wave 23 to wave 68. I went from being unable to chargeback consistently to landing chargebacks mid rocket jump.
You'll learn crazy stuff almost every time you boot this game up. You'll get really good with some practice, don't think any of us were great at the game when we started. Just practice here and there and develop your own style!
@@Sheba7660 Woah what a motivational post! Thank you!
i like to think rcp is the v1 ultimate move
I agree! Only V1 could have the bright idea to p u n c h
l i g h t n i n g
im still trying to do the rcp tech in sandbox,but even then the railgun either hits the first coin before i parry it or when i parry the coin,it does at maximum 2 ultraricoshots
2x rico is usually when you hit the close coin first. This happens because the rail has such a huge hitbox.
You should watch the new coin video, too. There's some simpler stuff there, and SlCPs have like, a 2x longer timing window, so once you figre those out, RCPs should be a bit easier!
This is a sequel, but I can’t find the original by Herb Messiah
I think something might be up with his channel or youtube. I'm sure he'll get things back up as soon as he can!
@@Sheba7660 OH yeah just saw, hacked apparently.
@@Yee-Haw_Bird Sad to hear that, but I'm sure he'll figure something out! Appreciate all of the people who are supporting him through this!
I really don't know what I'm doing wrong with deadcoins:
I'm doing the setup, punch the coin into the ground 3 times and while it's in the air throw another coin and shoot it and repeat 3 more times. (4 more dead coins) I punch the coin into Minos 2 times but it doesn't deal the massive amount of damage and the style meter just says ricochet x4
The high ricoshot counter is purely aesthetic (it doesn't do more damage), and you can only get it by doing deadcoins during the split window (when the first coin is flashing or singing).
As for the low damage... I'd say you're either dropping the combo somewhere, or you need to deadcoin more (some runners deadcoin even more than 4-5 coins because they use the whiplash to hold the coin in the air).
If you need specific tips, ask around in the discord, especially speedrunners. Someone will surely be willing to take a look at your timing.
Noted. I'll try to record a clip and ask about it in the server
@@con3_bar0nif you get an answer please tell me 😭 im suffering with the same thing
3:00 u forgot about the 1-4 speedruns
I said *almost*! 1-4 is a pretty unique case, when you look at the game overall.
I didnt master the basics, im just here to learn what the f*ck happens when certian tecch is done.
New coin tech video is dropping this week!
55 minutes lol
Also im playing ultrakill as i speak
So if you're a speedrunner in Ultrakill, literally every boss is basically worthless and easy to defeat unless they remove coins i suppose.
You could say so. But the amount of people capable of executing these strats all at once is really small. But as a viewer, having most boss fights done before pretty much during the cutscene and the second after can be somewhat samey. Only when you try to maintain a saw trap and a deadcoin combo do you see how hard it is.
That being said, I do wish we had bosses where even speedrunners would have to improvise and adapt to attack patterns.
How am I able to download the damage display mod? Every time I click it it says access is denied.
I tried reuploading it here: drive.google.com/file/d/1HDer97y7C7DDOstVQaw146JlDKpD19S4/view?usp=share_link
I will probably make an installation and usage guide today after work, so if this link doesn't work either, just be patient a bit longer and I'll try to get it sorted!
do you think its possible to slab rail and throw extra coins if your fast enough, like lets say you jump toss 2 coins slab rail press 1 twice to go back to marksman and throw the rest
It is possible, but it won't do much more damage than a regular SRC. The only real bonus damage would be from passthroughs. The real scary combo would be to combine deadcoining and SRCs (a lot of speedrunners do this already, just check the clips in my guide and you'll see both deadcoining and SRCs in many examples).
I would love to see a deadcoin, slabrailcoin, and then adding 2 coins. That would be pretty cool!
Fun fact: you can railcoinwhiplash, too. It's really stylish, but does less damage than railcoining.
