Almost done getting A+ in every dark world level. It's just so difficult 
Setting up a Super Meat Boy stream. Direct-feed this time around.. fiddling with Justin.tv for something later.

Wallach is amazing. How the hell does he get 7.78 in 2-8 and 7.45 in 2-15? :lol

Still, very impressive records. It motivates me to go for my highest record so I don't end up raging. :lolWallach said:
Fucking hell, The Kid level 2 is damn impossible. The first was difficult but doable, the second I just can't get. The third elevator (going down) is evil, I can't get the timing for it at all.
I wish I had taken note of how many deaths I had before starting The Kid, because it's going to be really high after I'm done.

That bandage in 2-18. That has to be impossible with Meat Boy. I mean, what?

I'm about to break the fucking controller. Darkworld levels are just raping hard.
The fucking truth. I don't rage though, well not against the game anyways. I always feel like a moron when I keep fucking up something I know I can do.salva said:
This game is still so much fun. Unlocking stuff, the insane places they put bandages, and all the retro stuff is really fun and cool. Gatdamn is it hard though.
Teh Internets section where you can use Gish is frustrating as all hell though.
Naw, it's very possible. Just have to be really patient with the lasers and then the rest is pie.Sgt.Pepper said:
OK so I finally got to the Kid's warp zone, thanks to this thread I was familiar with its exceedingly high degree of difficulty, but my question is just how useful is he as a character? If you really need him I will likely go ahead and complete his level now, if not I will probably wait until later. Gave it about 10 attempts, could only get about 1/2 through the first level. Seems like a bitch to do.

I exclusively use Meat Boy and The Kid :lol. He definitely makes some specific levels much easier.W Hudson said:

How do you unlock the kid?
W Hudson said:
The other guy is basically correct in that Kid and Meat Boy are head and shoulders above the other basic characters, but I found some appreciation for Naija in a couple of levels. I was able to bypass a huge chunk of one of the Rapture Dark World levels with her, and probably saved me a fair bit of grief from having to deal with those face chomper monstrosities.
Finally got Golden Boy and the 100 bandage character today. Only achievements left are the Ironman attempts, and there is no way in hell I'm going through all of those.

Oh god, I'm about to attempt this, live on the stream. Super Meat Boy stream is back up and this time it's nonstop The Kid until I unlock it or die trying. The window's open and I'm on the 3rd floor. Let's do this!

Probably been mentioned ,but the game plays perfectly with stick. I got the SF4 cheapo sticks and it plays like a dream. The actual joystick part on these SF4's is supposed to be good quality and it feels like it, very responsive and satisfying. The actual buttons are a little mushy but responsive. As for pros and cons I had played to the fifth world on 360 analog when my sticks arrived and it took me about half hour to get used to stick and its a little more snappy and precise for movement imo. Big buttons on the stick are funner to press too. So if your thinkin of jumpin on a stick for this i fully recommend the madcatz SF4 edition stick as its improved the game for me.
edit: this is the sticks that I got that were recommended to me for entry level in the stick thread here on gaf, price wnet up about 30 bucks since christmas tho: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001M22VCU/?tag=neogaf0e-20 , I've enjoyed them alot and its made for some intense matches with my bro of SSF4
I finally beat level 3 and unlocked The Kid. With the effort I put into that, I'm tempted to put it onto my resume. I just checked my death count, it's at 4006; I think it was just over 2000 before I started these three levels. :lol
I started drinking sometime during the second level, and around a half hour into level 3 I'm a bit tired as well. The moving spike walls were getting blurry and started looking like this. Needless to say I'm glad I beat it.

Just unlocked the kid. It wasn't that hard, honestly. The only level I had trouble with was 2. 1 and 3 were pretty easy.
Does anybody know how to stop the game crashing? It says something about dumping the data (I only remember because it says hehehe after the word dump :lol ). It seems to occur more when I play the boss level at the end of chapter two (I can't finish the level before it crashes...). Really annoying...

Hate to admit it, but I might even prefer the The Kid to Meat Boy, which would make him my favorite character in the game. He's a bit slow compared to Meaty, but god DAMN is his double jump useful! A godsend for grabbing bandages. A miracle in any level with a lot of hazards. In short, definitely worth the agonizing effort to unlock. And I say this as an unworthy cur who took 8+ hours to do it.W Hudson said:Thanks for the response. Although I was hoping to get a bunch of "he's useless" responses so I could just go back later.

I feel lucky for getting The Kid in about an hour. Maybe in 10 years or something I'll try again :lol.

I'm condemned to at least one more run to repay the friend who spent a long time trying (and for all that effort, failing) to get me through The Kid's second and third levels. I tell you, those three labyrinths of torment encapsulate some of the best gameplay to be found anywhere. Absurdly unforgiving, but brilliant. There's nothing like that "in the zone" feeling you get after spending twenty minutes or so in a state of heightened concentration trying to clear one of The Kid's levels.darkpaladinmfc said:
So is this game still on sale on XBLA? I don't have my Xbox connected to the Internet because it's really difficult for me to do so (far away from a router and don't feel like running a cable through my house) but I really want this game. And with the cancellation of the WiiWare version (crosses fingers for retail), I guess I have to get this on XBLA.
Couple questions though:
1. Does this game use the 360 control stick or the D-pad (or both) for movement? I don't like the D-pad on the 360, but I was wondering if using the control stick is comfortable.
2. I could potentially also get it on Steam, but I have a Mac. Yes, I know that a Mac version is coming so that's good and all, but I don't know how to connect a, say, PS controller to a Mac. I'm not asking on advice on how to do it, I just want to know if it's difficult or not. I just don't want to play with the keyboard for a platformer.
3. Yes, I was hoping to use the Classic Controller for this game

The game works better on the analog stick, same as N+ did.
