[203] Acavado Spikes

Isnt this exactly like the Acavado spikes but a bit different looking?

 

I see it as there being three different designs for this. My design listed above is used on hills, and is made so you can squeeze jump through it safely and it's impossible for ai to just jump over. (Due to it being on a hill.) The trap spikes allow allies to safely pass through while murdering enemies.

I think Luigi made the design for flat ground, with a team door. The benefits are that you can use top and bottom spikes, as well as walk right through and it's completely safe on flat ground, but moron knight allies like to stand in the doorway and then the enemies kill said knight and charge through. Pisses me off too because they do it all the time.

The other method is to take my design, place it on flat ground, and improvise with a stone block instead of a team door which forces allies to squeeze through and not keep the damn doorway open >.>

Basically, if your allies aren't morons, luigis design is superior and it kills faster. If they are, and trust me they usually are, my design is better as it removes 30% of their stupidity options. (Except people still stand on top of the kjfhgdfkgfhding traps even when told not to.)

 

At least both traps have their legitimate uses. I'd use yours a lot more often if my teamates were actually on my team :|

PS: Luigi, you and I should do a solo run sometime with the goal of winning without killing a single bot. I devised a method that makes it possible and I think it'd be a fun challenge to attempt :D

 

the thing is most people are too lazy to try get around and will try brave it especially the newest batch from this week i watched as a whole team of reds went through my avocado at least 4 times each

 

This is in no way different from acavado spikes... Acavado spikes are nothing more than the principle of using rearranging spikes in connection to trapbridges to make enemies that jump into them die, acavado spikes were always about that, putting them on a ledge so that enemies will vault into them with a lot of speed. Same thing this does just placed in a way that it also allows people to squeeze through. If anything I would put this in the acavado spikes thread, it doesn't really justify its own thread at all. Its like me posting the exact same thing you just posted but like this in its own thread:






I call it DEATH TUNNEL and its completely original. NOT.

Please refrain from posting slight changes of established designs in their own threads. We don't need 10 threads exploring the many MANY different iterations of acavado spikes. Thanks.

 

Um... the difference is that it utilizes glitch jumps to instantly murder enemies. Avacado spikes can be avoided if you're nimble. Not to mention that these spikes are made especially for co-op mode.

I recall saying this in this thread at least 3 times now. I already know what avacado spikes are. I even borrowed a portion of the design from them >.>

 

and lo. The thread merger fairy sprinkled dust over the two threads and they where one.

 

Heads up, this no longer works. Ceiling spikes went poot this build.

Here's a workaround.



Yahhh.

Use that instead.

 

that version worked or me

 

Spikes are iffy in this build. Sometimes they work and sometimes they dont. At first I thought it was spikes placed by editor or the map didnt work but now Im not so sure. Regardless spikes dont always work now.

 

Spikes are definitely hit or miss this build. From what I've seen if you're actually falling a few tiles they work, but if you drop off a tile or are sliding it's iffy. Horizontal movement into spikes is also a little odd, and I've seen floor spikes do damage on touching a left-side wall... I'm sure a lot of it is because of the "elevator" glitch that's going on now though.

 

Not everything, obviously. I wasn't able to walk left at a wall and get stabbed on ground spikes. Also yes, able to evade spikes on one tile yes. Being able to slide and not take damage on spikes some of the time? New. The trapbridge issue is distinct on what I'm talking about, but definitely still an issue.

 

Also there can appear a mineable gold or stone block.

Alchemical process demands bloody sacrifice you know.

 

So... Acavado is an alchemist ?

 

It actually works with phases. Every another hit changes tiles under it a little bit. That's why I don't use any ceiling spikes. Way too glitchy.

Also:

THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE IS MADE OF PEOPLE!

 

Alright, I'll remove the Acavado's from the structure overview thread for now, maybe in the next build!
