AAC: Aubergine vs. (VPC4) Daily Drive: 29-Feb-2024 (Offline, non-Steam) (Full Chain)
0Assault Android Cactus+ (PC(W,M,L)/Steam)
Version 190430s (2019 Apr 30)
Daily Drive: Thursday, February 29, 2024
(Offline, non-Steam)
Aubergine run: 1P (Full Chain!)
& 4P Virtual Player Count
So... for those of you who don't already know, AAC's Daily Drive does actually support Virtual Player Count (as well as all other EX Options, I think)... but only if you run the game directly, and not via Steam (i.e. find the game directory and run the "cactus" executable yourself... if you run the game via Steam, VPC will be disabled for the Dailies, even if Steam is in Offline Mode)! =)
----------
[A little extra info for anybody interested]
[Location note: If you don't know where the game directory is, you should be able to find it by right-clicking the game in Steam, selecting "Properties" then "Installed Files" then "Browse"]
[Save file note: Running the game directly uses a different Save File location, so if you want to use your Steam AAC save file (which you should be able to find at "Steam/userdata/(user#)/250110/remote" (or a similar location, depending on your OS or other factors)), just copy that save file (game0a.sav) into the "cactus_Data" subdirectory in your game directory]
[Gameplay note: Because you're not running the game through Steam, the game will look at your OS for date and time info... so you can actually choose any day you want simply by changing your OS's date and time! Also, the game will allow you to play the Dailies as many times as you want, instead of just once (the Offline Dailies use a different set of seeds, though, so they will be different from the Online Dailies)]

So... once again, I realized that Leap Day (29 Feb) was coming up... and since I'd recorded an AAC Daily Drive for both of the previous two (2016 and 2020)... I kind of wanted to record a run this time as well. =)
- 8 years ago, I recorded a 4P solo Daily, wondering if anything interesting would happen, given that Leap Day is such a rare Day... and sure enough, something interesting happened. ^^;
- 4 years ago, I recorded my first ever Accelerate-only Daily attempt... and actually got a 0-knockdown win, which I was pretty happy about! =)
- And this year... I was thinking about maybe trying for my first ever 1P VPC4 Aubergine FC. ^_^
Although I have gotten a pair of 2P VPC4 Full Chains with Aubergine before... each time I'd tried a 1P VPC4, the Daily had a Boss Battle in it (which, given the much higher health the VPC4 Bosses have... pretty much guarantees the Chain will break)! So I was kind of hoping that this year's Leap Day Daily would be kind enough to be a non-Boss Daily...
And perhaps there was some Leap Day luck at work, as... sure enough, the Daily turned out not to have any Bosses in it. =)
Anyway, long story short... this VPC4 Daily was a bit tougher than I was hoping it'd be, and I definitely had to make some strategy adjustments in certain spots in certain Layers... but eventually... this run happened. ^_^
So here it is... my first ever 1P VPC4 Aubergine Daily Drive Full Chain win! Hope you enjoy!

0:11 Layer 1
2:34 Layer 5
4:05 Took a bit of a risk waiting for this Accelerate to turn into a Shutdown... but it paid off! ^^ ...though not having Accelerate did almost cost us the Battery after this one! ^^;
8:19 Layer 10
9:02 3000-chain ("We're unstoppable!")
- The quotes are randomly selected, but interestingly... this time, Aubergine happened to select the same quote for 1000, 2000, and 3000. =)
9:13 Initial chain ends (3040) due to win.
9:14 Yay, finally, my first ever 1P Aubergine vs. VPC4 Daily Drive Full Chain win! ^_^
