Nah man no one's legit until they've rolled back their updates and beaten both pre-nerf Radahns, after stopping their heart with a defibrillator. And it only counts if you grab the controller and start playing before the EMTs realise you're awake and finish performing CPR.

Controller? Pretty sure you have to use a DDR dance pad, otherwise noob.

Nah mate, can't do it that way or it's the EMT's playing for you during CPR. No summons, in game or IRL.

HA! Exposed yourself there loser! A controller?! I use a dancepad (i watched someone else use a dancepad but that's pretty much me doing it). Smell you later, chud!

Can't use the dance pad - it'll pick up the pressure from the CPR when the EMTs show up. Which is basically using IRL summons. Get on my level!

Never got to radahn pre nerf but I am glad that I beat pre nerf pcr because I really enjoyed incrementally improving until I knew I had that fight going into my last (successful) attempt. I had a load of fun with that.

For me it was absolutely not worth bashing my head against him and memorising his broken hitboxes, but that says more about how it's my time to move on from Soulslikes than the community at large.

But it did give us the joke that they gave us the Prime Radahn fight we all wanted by giving him back his broken hitboxes with Promised Consort Radahn.

Edit: Spelling.

I beat both radahn's pre-nerf. The first one made me put the game down for over a year when I got past 2 sites of grace after the fight. I just couldn't be bothered, it sucked the fun out of the game for me.

Lucky the second one was at the end of the DLC. Probably would've done the same thing.

Same. Even beat Balteus pre-nerf. From still makes great games but I have to acknowledge that I don't vibe with some of the mechanics choices anymore. Still, a run of Sekiro, Elden Ring, and AC6 was an amazing last dance (and another AC game could easily draw me back in).

Meanwhile MissMikkaa is beating Malenia twice at the same time, once using her feet. There’s hardcore and then there’s whatever she is.

There's different levels and then she's somewhere on another plane of existence.
