      Got to the Forest Maze last night. Attempting to get as many cheevos as possible to limit my playthroughs.

        I’ve never more than casually played this in the past, but it seems like timed hits are a big part of the battle system. For attacks you can hear the little chime to let you know you’re doing it right, but for timing defense is there any way to know when it’s the right time to press A? I’m doing a bit of grinding to try to figure it out, but it seems to be totally random.

          @obsidianspider it’s generally right before the attack happens but it varies based on the enemy. Each one has a moment in their attack animation that is the moment to time the block.

          There are some enemies I cannot block consistently for the life of me.

            Just beat Boshi in the race on Yo’ster Isle.

            I THINK I’ve gotten all the hidden treasure boxes up until this point too. 🙏

            Edit: Just did my first mine cart in 2:56. 40 seconds slower than the cheevo...that’ll take some practice. 😰

              Is Culex more difficult than the final Smithy battle?

                      I’m somewhat close to having beaten this already. I’ve got 37/66 achievements. I might need a game of the month for the second half of January. 😂

                        I've never actually beaten this, but have always enjoyed it. Sadly, this is one of the few games that do not work on my SD2SNES, so I'll be using a Pi unless I come across a great deal on an English cart.

                        You won't regret this game! Imho one of the best RPGs on the SNES with average difficulty grade.

                            Nostalgia hit me hard after I watched the video. I still remember playing this as it was the first game I ever played on a console.

                              Now you've reminded me to go back to this game and beat it! I've played it several times and always making it to the Axem Rangers and I would always stop after that for some reason. Hopefully not this time.

                                I wish there was a good fan hack sequel to this game. :\

                                    I’ve nearly got the game finished. Took a break from playing anything this past week. Planning on picking it back up this week to finish it.

                                    I’ll never be able to get the mine ride or goomba stomp achievements.

                                      It's about time to start thinking of games for February. Give some suggestions below, I'll throw one in:

                                        Has anyone beat this? I’m going to finish it tonight. Currently in the Factory.

                                          @livefastcyyoung I tried starting it several times but just couldn't.

                                          Losing my granddad knocked me so far on my ass I haven't felt right since. But whoever finishes the game picks the next months game plus the cheevos challenge. If no one wins, or if multiple people finishes the game will each put in a suggestion which I will pick out of a hat...or Strawpoll, whichever is better.

                                            hey guys remember me?
                                            no?
                                            okay that's fine.

                                            Anyways, WOOO! Super Mario RPG!
                                            I finally got a working SNES so hopefully i'll try to find a physical copy of the game. The retro store I went to said it costed about 60 bucks for just the cartridge, and 100 for the game with a manual! Holy crap!
                                            I'd also use an SNES Flash Cart, but some don't support this game (it's also sorta costly). I might have to scour on eBay to find some deals.
