Assault Android Cactus (PC(W,M,L)/Steam)
Early Access Version 141122b (2014 Nov 22)

Stage 1-5: Embryo (10.1)
Secondary weapon only
S+ run using Cactus


So, quite a while ago, when AAC was still in Early Access, I actually did some damage tests, because I was curious to see which characters had the strongest secondary weapons (of course, due to the way the secondaries are balanced against the primaries, a stronger secondary doesn't mean a stronger character (for being as different as they are, the characters in AAC are IMO remarkably well-balanced against each other!)... but theoretically, a stronger secondary should make it easier to recover from knockdown (knockdowns can decrease primary weapon strength, but secondary weapon strength is always constant!)).

My suspicions at the time (based on what I'd seen while playing the game) were that Cactus and Shiitake probably had the strongest secondaries. So I did a bunch of secondary-only runs against Embryo with each of the 8 characters (for S+ purposes, each Embryo phase is essentially "do x amount of damage in y amount of time")... and sure enough, after quite a lot of testing, the only characters to emerge with one or more S+s... were Cactus and Shiitake. ^.^

So recently, I came across these old recordings... and I realized I'd never tested Liquorice's secondary like this against Embryo (Liquorice hadn't been a playable character at the time). So... now I have. =)

Anyway, though I originally recorded these videos for testing purposes, I figured some of you might find them interesting or amusing or something, so... here they are! Hope you enjoy!
