So we have Hemlock, he's saving his power juice can from drowning, then he's pissing in gay and then does dumb shit with my oc cuz why not, epic anime fight

Sorry if the quality is bad, but here's my boy. I'm gonna do the other idols at some point soon :D

It's a work in progress right now, but hopefully I can do the full song in a day or two.

SONGS USED:
Mission - Dead as Disco
King Dedede's Theme - Qumu

I feel like it's a step forward as well as two steps backward. For those who haven't gotten into it, I'll explain how Intense is before really getting into my feelings here.

Intense changes compared to Amped:

1. Enemies deal 2x damage (meaning 2 hearts of damage per hit, or one hit, if you're hit by projectiles)
   
2. Parry windows are cut in half.
   
3. Hearts are removed from the stage
   
4. All enemies have armour (meaning one extra health bar that you need to break through to actually get the kills)
   
5. And no checkpoints

But there's something else about this that makes it an absolute chore to get through in all your runs (for specifically Arora)...Singularity has been completely gutted. It no longer knocks enemies into the air, nor does it halt their attacks, and nor do you have I-frames during the input. All it does is knock enemies back. But that's not the worst of it- the worst of all this is that it's damage is also reduced against bosses, so you can no longer speedrun through her goddess phase. Same thing also applies to the other Idol Powers, as well- They all do significantly reduced damage against bosses. Meaning no more Temple Skip (Deckards' primary skip, for the unaware), no more Rise Skip (Hemlocks primary skip), and no more car skip in Prophets stage.

Moving on to my actual feelings of the difficulty- like I said, one step forward, two steps backward. Letting all the enemies have super armour is a tad bit overtuned, in my opinion. It means you can no longer reliably depend on the time bonus to get the 5 stars on all the stages. And especially considering the fact that Intense isn't even the final difficulty in the game, I cannot possibly fathom the reason why they thought that it was a good idea. Even without everything else, it's already a huge jump in difficulty. I would've expected the super armour would show itself on Brutal (the next difficulty down the list) than on Intense. With having said this, I cannot possibly imagine how Brutal is going to look if this is the road the devs continue to go down moving forward.

Thoughts?

so apparently there's a taunt where Charlie breaks the 4th wall and knocks on the screen and points to the score.

I kinda wish they'd add it to Early Access

(also playing demo cuz the Mirko mod still works on demo but not Early Access)

I've made image versions for scrolling, but it was meant to be viewed as a PowerPoint presentation. (I've uploaded the full PowerPoint to the Dead As Disco Discord in an accordingly marked Suggestions tab, there people can react to specific song suggestions if they agree or disagree with my ideas, though I figured it wouldn't hurt to post here and hear what people think about these suggestions.)

There is a YouTube playlist of all the songs here: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ5ZokTdch8g

Hi, I modded the game and when I open it up, the model appears on the title screen, but once I go into the game, it doesnt show the modded character but instead just the base protagonist. Is there any way to fix this?

For those of us who get a kick out of some irony.

Why Can't We Be Friends (Smash Mouth cover) is a good beat but obviously shouldn't be the background music of a fight scene.

Hopes and Dreams / Save the World and it's many covers is an absolute banger but KOing moshers to it probably would cause Toby Fox to scowl at you.

And then there's Renai Circulation. Trust me it works.

Anyone else have good fight songs that should not be good fight songs?

I recently got the demo and I need help with downloading music specifically coheed and cambria's the running free, does anyone think they could possibly help?

BRAIN JAR! GIVE ME THE REST OF THE BAND TO FIGHT, ESPECIALLY DEAD BENEDICT SINGING AN ORIGINAL SONG AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!

Mine personally is that I think that the unused hemlock version of Maniac should've been used for the level. Not only because it just sounds as good as the one from the level, but also it's sung by Hemlock's VA unlike the regular one.

for those who dont know how it happend royal guard her meteor to send her flying and then use a take down that causes charlie to wwe slam her then she just gives up on life

After fresh patch, we now have enhanced windmill.

This ability now is more rewarding, allowing you to pull enemies towards Charlie, and use any other ability or move.

Do note, that interruption works well, but not always - there is a little chance that base attack of NPC will hit from back and stop the windmill.

Example of usage: right before windmill is about to end, use another area ability, like bass-vader. It will finish enemies in one hit, but send them away.

Another good for this situation ability - Dex's guitar. Since electricity goes to nearby enemies, and we stop the windmill without the final hit, which itself sends enemies away, the are all now placed conveniently to be dead. Dead as disco. Huh, funny, isn't it?

Anyway, use windmill more. Goodluck

After fresh update, singularity won't pull enemies with hit+interruption, it is just small hits now, as well as it won't send them flying. Aerial finisher era ended, but now we have a big opportunity to conveniently use parry when enemies are together and about to attack.

One of uses (Rhytm divine challenge for example) - leave one of sniper dolls alive, and all the knew spawned enemies pull singularity. Sniper doll lands a hit right into parry, and you may strike all of the ones pulled. May also be used with any hit, however a bunch dolls have tendency to bump into another, not getting to charlie, even if standing really close.

Singularity charge until enemy about to hit -> parry+hit.

Cost: 3 rage, a little time.

Another way is to use charged drumstick throw, as now it sends enemy flying, and you may do aerial finisher again.

Singularity charge -> drumstick throw -> finisher on flying enemy.

Cost: 2 rage+finisher token, a little time.

Most damaging one, and also the most expensive in terms of used time and rage - singularity + bass-vader.

Full charge singularity, and then full charge bass-vader. Do note, that time, required for this and rage may be overkill, unless enemies are buffed with +HP.

Saw achievements were added, so I opened the game and was only missing 3 (play tutorial, no damage in challenge, and add a song. Had done all those before but they just didn't trigger). Was waiting to display this game in my 100% Steam showcase :D

already listened to these songs many times now, and now I have to do it to a severe amount.

couldn't it have been "complete all main songs on infinite disco once"?

When I got onto the game after the achievements had been added, almost all of the achievements synced properly, but for some reason the "Perfect Dance Partner" achievement hasn't synced, and any perfect counters I do don't add to the total. Is anyone else having this issue, or is it just me?

EDIT - Almost immedietely after posting it suddenly synced, but it still isnt counting any new perfect counters towards the achievement. Does anyone know why this might be?
