inscrutible advice

just encountered a line in ys i that was roughly “there is a special brooch. without it you can only see your reflection in mirrors.”

please show me examples of similarly unhelpful npc advice

I don’t know if this counts exactly, but I hope it is enjoyed all the same.

Summary

it looks like you’re just supposed to hit 3 heavy punches but what this trial doesn’t tell you is that the only way to link 3 fierces is to cancel into a run upon hit, then stop the run using an additional input before pressing fierce again - all prior to the dummy recovering from the hitstun of the previous fierce. In V they were better about informing the player about things like dash cancels or micro steps to complete trial combos.

did anyone ever figure out what the “walk quietly in the hallways” sign on the second floor of peach’s castle in mario 64 was supposed to be about?

i’m thinking maybe there was something in that nintendo gigaleak
