In both my "Speedrunner" and "Below Zero" feats, I spent, like, FIVE TIMES the effort I spent for the Congealed versus the rest of my playthrough. It's as if the Congealed is the ultimate final test designed by Yacht Club Games to determine if the player really is willing to get these feats; and the playthrough up to that point is just the warm-up for that.

I still got the fabled Feat Accompli, though! And overall, it wasn't nearly as difficult as I was making it out to be in my mind once I started to tackle them. I wish everyone else the best of luck with their feat hunt! You can do it, too :)

Hasebe and Mami ain't got nothing on them :D

You can even hear applause and stock laughs in the background. Also, most of the names seem to be based on the actual people from WayForward who worked on the game. The first two names to appear are Colleen Fannin and Jeremy Pryer, who are the producer and QA manager of River City Girls 2, respectively. They are also the co-owners of the hidden potion shop in Flatiron forest!

Pretty cool easter egg!

Just got this mail from OpenAI.

Apparently ads have started in the US last February, but have they started to roll them out in other countries, too? I don't live in the US.

Haven't used logged-in ChatGPT, like, for a year, so apologies if this is old news.

Is logged-out ChatGPT also affected from this?

Thanks for reading! Again, apologies if this was already discussed here before.

It took me 2 first aid kits (which recover 60% HP) worth of healing during the fight, but I DID IT! The fact that Hasebe and Mami were the only boss I had to use healing for while I managed to defeat all other bosses - Sabuko included - at Level 1 without healing speaks volumes about their difficulty spike.

Hasebe and Mami's main gimmick is that unlike every other boss in the game, they don't wait until the last phase to unleash their most powerful moves. They start with those moves right off the bat at 100% HP; not to mention them being unpredictable. Mami's cheer drill move is much more dangerous than Hasebe's (at least 50% HP damage and potential one-hit KO); so I kept Mami busy by hitting her to prevent her from doing that.

During the last phase, I let Hasebe be the last one standing; as her attacks seemed much more manageable to me. It was still the most tedious phase, though, since I could hit Mami's ghost only once before it bounced around for a few seconds until it became vulnerable again.

Adding to that the main disadvantages of my character being Level 1 (no move for attacking knocked down enemies on the ground and the ability to store only 2 healing items, as well as low defense and walking speed), it becomes clear that this is a tough challenge. Also, I could have improved my stats a little by eating other foods at the stores and buying Level 0 moves from the dojo; but I wanted the maximum handicap possible for this challenge.

The Result: For the first time in their lives, Hasebe and Mami messed with the WRONG "weakling"; and suffered the most humiliating defeat possible. They could have as well fought at the school at their very first encounter XD

Of course, reaching this fight with Level 1 is not possible legitimately (lowest possible legit level to reach Hasebe and Mami is 11, as far as I determined in my console playthrough; which is attainable by keeping one of the boys at back-up at all times).

I modded the PC version so that all XP gains are set to zero. This is the follow-up to my previous post, where I had also shared the links to that mod:

And if you are struggling with River City Girls, remember this post and image! You can do it!

I know Godai uses the terms "friend" and "pal" very generously, so what I think happened here is that during the first game when she was in charge of Sanwakai Tower, Sabuko had used Godai as a spy to gather intel for her around the city. That way, she would be one step ahead of the Sabu clan's enemies. Sabuko probably talked to Godai a couple of times face-to-face (probably in discretion and somewhere secluded), and what Sabuko considered a purely professional and annoying interaction was enough for Godai to classify Sabuko as a "friend"; similar to how he gleefully calls Misako and Kyoko his "pals" even though they hate his guts. I mean, if Godai had never met Sabuko, why would he call her "his old friend"?

I had not realized this for the longest time, since it was just a tiny Honkr message :O

Like in RCG, Tierney is the scriptwriter. The illustrations belong to Saspy. Apparently, Tierney has completed this in 3 years.

I thought fans of RCG could be interested as this comic also seems to feature a spunky teenage girl as its main character. In the comic's trailer, she has been voiced by Cristina Vee!

I haven't purchased or read the whole thing myself, though, so would love to hear people's opinions!

Tierney also seems to be doing signing activities for this comic, and it has received praises from creators of shows like Amphibia and OK KO!

I dug these up from River City Girls 2's data by using the AssetStudio program. They look like they have been used by WayForward at one point to promote the game, but I have never seen them before. If you saw these anywhere else before, let me know in the comments!

>!Normally, after every 5 offenses, Lionel asks the player if he still needs to go on; and finishes the cutscene after 20 offenses (randomly picked out of all offenses in that playthrough) are announced in total.!<

>!I already know doing 0 offense gives you the option to go for a secret ending, but have never seen a version of this cutscene where the number of offenses is somewhere between 1 and 19 (understandable, considering that an average playthrough easily gives more than 20 offenses). Does the execution change drastically; as in Lionel just announcing the single offense you have done and then moving straight to the end of the cutscene with no option to join him?!<

Mind you, I already beat the game from start to finish (Sabuko included) while I was always at Level 1 with the lowest possible stats (i.e. stamina, attack, etc. are all 1) in my mod where I set all XP gain to zero. Hasebe and Mami is the only boss fight I failed to conquer, AND I HATE THAT! I'm seriously stressed out at this point, and I think I need a break. Would love to see someone else beat these brats for me though!

Link to the modded dll and save files if you're interested in trying it yourself:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mLxOGl6164GgWhF7ENjLtqLA9oE2YQ0S?usp=sharing

The link includes save files right before fighting Hibari, Abobo, NOIZE, Sabuko, and Hasebe and Mami in their corresponding subfolders. The save is in the third (bottom) slot.

Here are the steps if you want to try my mod:

1. Download my Assembly-CSharp.dll file from the Google Drive link above.
2. Copy the original Assembly-CSharp.dll located in your RiverCityGirls\RiverCityGirls_Data\Managed folder to somewhere else (so that you have back-up if something goes wrong).
3. Replace the original dll in the Managed folder with the dll you have downloaded from the link.
4. Copy the original save file in your C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\LocalLow\WayForward Technologies\River City Girls\_savedata folder to somewhere else.
5. Replace the save file in the _savedata folder with the file you have downloaded from the link.

Thank you :)

By device I mean any computer, console (PS4/5, Switch, Xbox etc), and phone. And I am referring to the UI language setting of the device on which the game is running, NOT the game's own language setting.

I'm specifically asking because I saw River City Girls (another WayForward game) have major issues when played on devices whose UI language is Turkish (link here); and I recall someone mentioning to me that the remastered port of the original Shantae game had issues with save files when played on French consoles. So if all Shantae players have had similar experiences, I would love them to be gathered here in a single thread!

I am looking for issues and bugs in Shantae games that disappear simply by switching your *device's* (not your game's) language to English (United States). Would be awesome if you could also let me know whether you reported it to the official WayForward Support address here: support@wayforward.com (I would recommend you to let them know if you already haven't; someone always reads and responds to those mails!)

Since I don't have an IG account, I wasn't able to access the version without IG's slider dots (I just took screenshot). Hopefully those with an IG account can get the full res image from the source link.
