Red Light / Green Light

[AzTech 2064]

Ok, here i thought the gc version of the minigame was hideous... at least you could trick around a little with that one. i have literrary finished my first playthrough and have nothing else to do before my second run... has anyone figured any´rhing out that makes this particular minigame doable? i mean i tried it for 2 hours yesterday and another 4 hour straight today, an i was 9 times ALMOST wining... still only almost. most of the time you will be bumped around immediatly and have no chance at winning whatsoever.

a few things that help on level 3 i figured are NOT taking the first step before everyone else, so that you start a little after all these demon kids, hopefully to bump them back and hoping that they eliminate themselves, but that only works 1 out of 10 times, and even than you have to be really lucky.

the biggest problem is that everyone moves faster than you, and those little demons are all over the place, seemingly aiming to only kick you out if you have any kind of lead.

so if there is anyone that figured out anything that might help, even using a trainer or whatever to ♥♥♥♥ing instant win this minigame, please tell me, i am literally open for anything that helps beat this game at this point. HELL i even consider cheating a valid option Oo

Did you get both the weapon and title? You only get the weapon near the end of the game so if you want a full collector's book... :X

[AzTech 2064]

yeah i waited till i had nothing else to do. perhaps farming figurines, since you can farm the rare pellets in the casino now... but i got my title and the weapon at the same time... thank GOD i remembered that from the gc version XD

I usually don't do this but I wish whoever programmed this to suffer...a lot.

[AzTech 2064]

second that^^

[Broso]

If only you could do the stages individually. WHY DO I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE FIRST TWO STAGES EVERY SINGLE TIME JUST TO GET ANOTHER SHOT AT THE RIDICULOUS THIRD STAGE. For god's sake!

[AzTech 2064]

because... well i don't know. at least it's normally impossible to loose on the first stage, and as long as you don't trigger the red light due to... well whatever you are doing on your second screen (tv,pron, whatever^^) to distract yourself from the bottemless boredom and hate this minigame causes^^

[Broso]

Done. "That was fun! Did you have fun too?" HELL ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ NO.

God I wish you didn't have to redo this ♥♥♥♥ every time you want to get Genis' ultimate weapon.

[AzTech 2064]

just don't do it^^ i did it one time only.

This game is partial luck, if you spawn on the side during round 3 you should be good to go by just spamming the move button like no tomorrow when the Katz isn't looking. If you spawn in the middle, you're probably going to lose...

[AzTech 2064]

i advise you to not use a headstart, cause in 99% in round 3 you will be bumped back. after that you just have to be a little lucky. if you get a headstart, you most likely will be targeted by all kids from the start, and that will ruin all your chances, it doesn't matter if it's side or middle, sides just minimal the chances^^

No, no, you don't get it... those little monsters are FASTER than you, even if you get to move entirely unmolested. I had a lucky break on the third stage, started on the extreme right, and the two kids to the left of me tripped each others up right near the start. I was completely untouched, went perfectly straight, and pounded the button as fast as humanly possibly. And lost to a kid on the extreme LEFT, who had apparently ALSO gone untouched and straight.

Heck, I've frequently noticed that the third-stage kids can move faster than is possible for you even while bloody zig-zagging. It's ridiculous!

Seriously - there has to be SOME sort of TRICK to it! Playing 'fair' simply doesn't WORK. As it is, it looks like the only possible way to win is to not ONLY luck out and get an advantageous position, but ALSO get lucky enough that EVERY OTHER KID ON THE FIELD gets obstructed somehow. And if you're THAT lucky, you're wasting it on an old JRPG when you should be playing the lottery...

[Broso]

I did not notice any trick unfortunately.. I had to grind this until I got lucky enough.

Well, I searched far and wide, and found out... apparently, the glitch from the GC version hasn't been ENTIRELY fixed. If you're fast and careful, you can still use 'plinking' to move forwards while the cat is looking. Hit the button (B, in my case) and START (to pause) at the same time, with the B just a MILISECOND earlier, and you'll move forwards a step while the game's paused, unnoticed by the cat. It's risky, 'cuz if your timing's off by just a LITTLE bit in the wrong direction, you'll be noticed and sent back - so it's usually best to err on the side of caution (in which case you just won't move at all.)

A risky trick, but if you're in a situation where you obviously can't win Round 3 'honestly', it's worth taking a shot at it. Getting a few free steps can put you back in the game. 's what I did. SCREW doing this thing honestly - I stole something like six steps, and managed to win that way. And good riddance to this awful minigame!

[CaRmAgE]

I never knew about the glitch from the GC days. I just knew that you could pause the game to get an extra step each time he turns around and not get caught (which still works).

wow, talk about nekroposting XD
