    Poor Launch even gets forgotten when naming a character who looks very similar to her (Ayla)

    Good 'ol Goku. He doesn't die when he's killed. You can't beat him, but you CAN join him.

    "Can you beat Chrono Trigger with only Crono?" As at least one other comment already beat me to the punch to say, not only yes you can, but to obtain one of the New Game Plus endings (Developers' Room via facing Lavos using the NG+ Telepod portal before taking Marle back to the castle for the trial) it's pretty much a requirement! Through experimentation I found that not only can you trigger this sequence with only Crono solo before going to 600 AD, you can also still get the ending by going through the Telepod's NG+ Lavos portal while Marle is still in your party after you rescue her but before you take her back to the castle to trigger the trial. The Mature Lavos Shell is still an annoying battle with just two characters, but it's way more manageable than Crono by himself, especially since you have a healer.

    "Yet another reason why Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all-time." You and me both, dude.
  • @kinggoldark3853
    I’m not sure if the Dragon Ball names were an intentional tribute to Akira Toriyama or not, but it’s touching all the same.
  • @mackrjj
    "And i sob watching the final credits" I feel you, bro. CT is the best RPG of all time, pun not intended.
  • You can actually skip the first part of the Lavas fight by flying in on the Epoch. It sacrifices the ship and gives a different ending.
  • @glennrugar9248
    I like how you used various square enix boss music when fighting bosses. I think there was even some persona mixed in too. Well done!
  • @SirVyre
    By the laws of power levels and the fact that it's an intrinsic part of NG+ (it's the alternate requirement for the dev room ending, other being beat Lavos in Zeal before Crono's death), yes. Yes he can! With enough levels and tabs, almost anything is possible! My friend Moore once challenged me to solo Lavos with a level 37 Crono, and I did. Still be interesting to see the hiccups caused by trying to do it from the start of the game though.
  • @LeoSmashRoyale
    For what its worth, I love your challenge run videos. Its a lot of fun to see how crazy it can get.
  • @battdriver7553
    30:13 You missed a golden opportunity to make a laser nipples comment, it's how my young brain thought of that attack and can now never be changed. Also- great content as always
  • Tantacles: Chrono Trigger heavily depends on party sinergy. Child me: Luminaire+Flare+Dark Matter go brrrrrrr.
  • @PlatinumAzure
    I honestly expected this to be a bit harder, but it didn't seem like there were that many bosses with a true wall of "must hit with some other element". Nicely done!
  • @mnm2317
    LOVE CT as well. I'm wondering if, and how, you'd challenge-run the game with almost any other character. Not having to revive Crono would be interesting.
  • @mwbwyatt
    Its crazy how old this game is, but has such a good combination of systems story and likeable characters that it STILL holds up to this day. Absolutely timeless rpg.
  • Love Kefka's theme, Dancing Mad. And the FF6 battle theme, and FF8 and Victory theme
