Welcome, Comrade, to Super LP Bros.


Super LP Bros is a website mainly dedicated to the magical world of "Let's Play's". A Let's Play is a video or series of pictures in which the creator plays through a video game (usually from start to finish) and explains all about the game and shows off little-known details along the way. Our aim is to bring the LPing community together. It's our goal to offer help to anyone who strives to improve their own Let's Play's. If you've read to this point I'd say it's high time you join our little community. You'll be making new friends and improving your LP's in no time. We may not be the most "Politically Correct" forum out there, but we all have a good time. Registration is simple, fast, and only requires you to sell us your soul.

Lol, people actually get worked up over this.
I don't have time to edit or upload my run tonight, but I'll hopefully get it up by Wednesday.
Thursday at the latest.
Yeah, I've been to the dark side. They lied about the cookies.

I did commentary to make up for the lack of interesting gameplay.

Edit; My part's done.
Also, on a side note, I think I left some of my soul in Norfair. And I think it melted my brain. I was texting someone just after I finished, and I don't even remember saying some of the stuff I said. >_>

I inadvertantly gave everyone an extra day... could have sworn it was the 23rd.

Regardless, I've seen and tallied most of the runs, I'm just waiting on two participants' submissions. They've both contacted me and said though they're nearing completion they could use just a little more time. Understanding I only gave some two weeks to put together 1-3 hours of footage I've granted them some extra time. The final tally should be coming soon.

I don't exactly know if its time, but I went ahead and made my videos public since this is almost over.

You can see them at the CountyLineGaming forums if you're interested.

No worries Sharky. We've been talking back and forth and I know you've had a lot on your plate. Best of luck. To everyone else, I'll have the totals posted here shortly, sometime tomorrow, I've got all the runs watched and tallied, just need some time to put together a slightly more involved post.

The final tallies are in, and the winner is...
Posted Image

BMS won first by a wopping 15%. If you want a quick summary of the crazy crap this guy did, he got the Screw Attack. I shouldn't need to say much more than that. He's also got quite a few impressive moments worthy of winning him the Mochball badge.

Some quick calculations say that to beat BMS in the final rounds at this point he would essentially have to throw the game. Myself, being in second, would have to collect more than 15 items in the coming rounds that he does not collect. Since there are only 28 items left, he merely has to collect 13 items I also collect, which is exceedingly easy to do, to win the entire match. For reference, I count at least 16 remaining items that are pretty much out in the open.

Due to this, and not wanting a single person to walk away with 3-4/4 badges for a single contest, I'm retooling what the Power Suit badge is, since BMS has mentioned he would prefer the Gravity Suit badge if given a choice. BMS has reserved the Power Suit badge, but should he win the Gravity Suit badge, he will instead take home that, and the Power Suit badge will go to second place overall. If someone manages to out do him, he gets the Power Suit badge, and the final winner gets the Gravity Suit Badge.

To the discussion of later rounds!
This has complicated scoring some for later rounds. So here's what I'm going to do. Since I got second, I'll keep myself as the 0 point. Points are as follows:
BMS: +15
me: +0
Cfalcon: -5
Jason: -7
MP201: -12

If you want to try stealing first from BMS, every item on this map marked in red will no longer increase your score.

However, if you're only going after second place, every item on this map will no longer increase your score.

You do not need to specify which you're going after, I'll tally up both scores and if you win first, you win first, if you win second, you win second.

Our next discussion then, for those interested, is which boss we're fighting next. Beating any boss will open up more of the map for us to explore, and we've got a few to choose from:

Kraid and Spore Spawn
Crocmire
Phantoon

The remaining bosses and minibosses are either impossible to reach or many of us failed to reach, and I'd hate to make a round someone simply couldn't participate in. I'll add a poll to the topic for us. Each round I'll have a poll letting us decide which boss to fight and as such which parts of the map are opened. If a boss becomes mostly useless I'll group him with another boss.

Congratulations to those who finished, this was the largest and most involved round. The later rounds should be much, much shorter. I'll remind everyone that if you're going for the Speedbooster badge you do need to have 100% of the items by the end of the game. Also, to those of you who have uploaded your runs to Viddler or YouTube, feel free to make your run public. You can even post the links here if you'd like. I'm making my run public as I speak and it should be available shortly in the playlist on my DrGodPants account.

I'll give the poll a couple days until votes slow down, no real deadline.

Wow...I thought I'd do a little better than that.
Then again, that's what I get for doing a challenge of a game I've never played.
Seriously, though, 72%?!
That's almost as high as you can possibly go!
I didn't expect to be competing with people who are actually good at the game. -_-
Good job, everyone.

First off, congrats everybody. The fifty percent range is pretty damned good, especially considering you had to go into Norfair varia-less, which is an accomplishment in it's own right. Deep Maridia and Lower Norfair, you really need to excel at 3 tricks in order to get anywhere: Crystal Flash, Underwater Wall-Jumping, and scaling mountains by way of frozen enemies.

As for the vote, I say let's tackle the Crocomire first. If we beat either Kraid or Phantoon, we'll get another suit which will make this challenge a lot easier, (hell with that!). Plus, getting the Grapple Beam would still allow easier access to Deep Maridia, without having to scale that damned mountain. But either way, we need to save the Gravity Suit for last!
I'll make you suffer a fate far worse than anything ever experienced before!

Well dang I did worse than I thought. But anyway, I vote Phantoon. Also, I'm still gonna try and grab every item I can, since I've never beaten this 100% before. No offense to Crocomire, but the grappling beam isn't even necessary to beat the game.
