CPS1 Knights of the Round 3 player Co-op multiplayer playthrough at ESA Summer 2024
10One of the many multiplayer playthroughs I've recorded in the latter half of July 2024.
The game: (CPS1 Arcade) Knights of the Round is one of the many post Final Fight beat em ups released in the early 90s.
Player 1 = Greenalink as Arthur
Player 2 = Aeshmah as Lancelot
Player 3 = Panda as Perceval
The game stands out for being able to split big food/treasure into smaller pieces which is vital for getting more points to allow your character to level up sooner. It also has a reverse Smash Bros input system where you briefly hold the attack button and then use a direction to influence the next action.
So briefly holding attack and then:
Pushing forward = Power attack
Pushing backward = Block
Pushing up = Short hop.
Between July 19th to July 28th, I was at an event in Sweden known as European Speedrunner Assembly Summer 2024, raising money towards Alzheimerfonden (Swedish Alzhimer's Foundation). This was my first on-site event where I didn't participate in a full length run at all other than commentating an extra run and taking part in a Super Mario 64 Relay.
Fortunately, before the event, I purchased a second hand Avermedia Live Gamer Portable II Plus unit for like over 75% off the default price. This allowed me to record content WITHOUT a PC. There were a few caveats such as not truly supporting accurate hz output for arcade cores on the Mister (recorder will not record things below 59.8 FPS) and the recording quality isn't as good as my main capture card that is connected to the PC.
