^Might be something to do with this version running at normal speed. Our original PAL version was quite a bit slower than the American one, making certain things slightly easier (like the timer for every one of those mini-games).
I got to something like 170 lightning strikes then failed on my last run XD. I got it in the end using that one spot, but it took me a really really long time to get into a rhythm with where to move and when to press the button. Butterfly minigame I think I one-shotted, but that was the main bane for me when I was younger on ye olde PS2. I think I struggled most with the lightning this time around, but it's the one I was least worried about going in. Weird.
I see. So this may just mean I was good back then because it was, in general, easier
- What a lie to live! I can't just put it down to slow reflexes on this occasion, no? Just slow reflexes since forever?
I have probably said this before but I actually exchanged memory cards with a classmate. He did the lightning dodging for me and I did some blitzball for him. I was good at that!!
Blitzball was great once you started levelling up and gaining skills. I kept the original Aurochs the whole way through to level 99, even when Keepa was a shite goalie
(Anybody ever get Keepa to level 99, though? Somehwere from about level 80 onwards or so, one stat begins to increase - by level 99,
)
