Version 150922d (2015 Sep 22)

Stage 5-3: Convection
4P Virtual Player Count + Mega Weapons
S+ run using Starch


So I decided to take a little break from Liquorice by taking a closer look at another of the new additions to the game: Mega Weapons! And what better place to test out what they're capable of than in a frenetic "sink or swim" environment? So I decided to try them out on VPC4 Convection, figuring that if there were any significant weaknesses (or strengths) to using the Mega Weapons, VPC4 Convection would probably reveal them fairly quickly. =)

Based on what I've seen so far... it looks like the Witch Beam team did a pretty good job of balancing the Mega Weapons. Of course, since the Mega Weapons do replace your character's normal Secondary weapon... and since each character's playstyle was balanced according to that specific Primary+Secondary combination... using a Mega Weapon means you're going to have to play your character differently (sometimes quite differently!) than normal.


Starch's Mega Laser is perhaps one of the easier Mega Weapons to get used to, mainly because it bears more similarities to the Secondary it replaces than pretty much any other Mega Weapon. High damage & long range, just like Strach's normal Secondary. But you do have to aim. =)

Oh, and for anybody who was wondering, I think the Mega Laser does the same amount of damage from any range (unlike Starch's normal Laser, which does more damage from up close than from afar)... though I haven't formally tested it, so I'm not absolutely positive about that. Though of course, aiming the Mega Laser from close range is easier than from afar, so technically, you can still consider it to be more effective from up close, based on the fact that less of the Mega Laser is likely to miss, when you're aiming it from up close. =)

Anyway, here's my first ever Mega Weapon Starch vs. VPC4 Convection S+... hope you enjoy!
