Talk:Barrel Pirate

Resistance

The resistance of Barrel Pirates in Revolution is kinda hard to evaluate, mainly because of rebounding shots. Could anyone please count the number of standard yellow shots needed to defeat one (making sure it doesn't get hit by rebounding shots, which excludes areas such as corridors; the room with crates in the PS2 version of the Echoing Caves looks like a correct place) and take a snapshot after each shot (preferably using an emulator and a native resolution)?

I'm also quite perplexed, see this video at 3:48, a fully charged Power Fist-empowered yellow shot takes about one third off the Barrel Pirate's health, which in any case is not coherent with the values I have come across. There's probably a rebound involved, but could anyone please hit a Barrel Pirate with the same shot in an open area and take a snapshot right after?

Last but not least, it would be great if several of you took some time to help me out; the more, the quicker we'll come to a conclusion. — 19:32, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Sure thing Hunch, I'll load a game up as soon as possible. --iHeckler9 07:29, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot iHeckler. If I'm not mistaken, you're not using an emulator, so don't bother with snapshots, except for the one after hitting the Barrel Pirate with a a fully charged Power Fist-empowered yellow shot if you don't mind. Spiral, Haruka, Stacey, are you guys available? — 16:04, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Is it ok if I just revisit the correspondent level with all powerups bought? I can give it a try if it isn't a problem. --Haruka 16:07, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

The ideal solution would be to do it without the rebound from the Magic Well, but if you choose an open area and make sure the pirate doesn't get hit by rebounding shots, then it should be all right :) — 16:36, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Guys?!? — 23:03, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Sorry Hunch, it has been quite hard... ^^' Especially now that I'm with the bad luck of having my desktop PC broken up, since it needs fixing since almost 2 weeks. --Haruka 10:07, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Me too, I had 3 viruses and my Internet shuts down randomly. --iHeckler9 09:42, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

My computer seems fixed now, but the problem is that my holidays are nearly ending. Damn. --Haruka 19:55, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry guys, your real life is a priority, but I just wanted to make sure you hadn't forgotten about it! From what I've seen they take 14 yellow shots to defeat, but their exact resistance is slightly lower and successive screenshots (see details above) would be a great help in order to determine it. I hope you'll be able to work on it soon =) — 23:23, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Here ya go! http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/6267/dscf1271k.jpg Turns out it doesn't do one third-much less in fact. I'd say it's about a sixth. Also, sorry if this may cause havoc, but I bought Accumulation 1 from the shop beforehand :/ oopsie. --iHeckler9 14:08, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't look like you had a Power Fist, did you? — 17:49, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
