Title: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 01/11/10 at 18:10:10
Hello everyone, I have an unusual question but maybe I'm looking too hard into it. Does anyone know if Warthog's special has any special properties? It's just that practically every character has some sort of quirk to their moves. Here's a list I've made and tell me if you agree or disagree.
Crimson Fury = Longest range special and you can send it even further with a bit of turbo. This technique applies to virtually all specials. Shadow = Can detonate. Has slight homing abilities. Direct contact bounces the enemy up and the damage is stronger compared to getting hit by the blast radius. Mr. Grimm = A bit stronger than a power missile, need to hit with both pumpkins. Spectre = Best homing but weakest special in the game. Twister = Hits multiple enemies. Damage is twice as strong if you don't pick anyone up with the startup of the special (very subtle). Warthog = Decent homing. Anything more? Slam = You can hold the special before following through with it. You can and should use machine gun during the special. If you miss it creates a shockwave. 5 shockwaves is the equivalent to one grab. Hammerhead = Gain super armour and speed. Weak unless you drop mines while on top. Can be VERY powerful. Thumper = If you freeze someone, move up close and use it as they jump it can hit for better damage. One hit kills to the cpu some times! Sweet Tooth = Can hit and kill yourself with it if you're not careful. Outlaw = Keep tapping L2 to drain health. Does not break people out of freeze surprisingly. Darkside = Super speed and armour. You can hit up to 4 times with just one special if you're careful. One of the most powerful specials in the game. Mime = Get any special close by. Axel = Between fire and homing for the first missile. Subsequent missiles have great homing ability. Hardly miss. Trapper = 1 hit = 2 = 4 = 6. If the monkeys hit any walls or vehicles they split. If you throw this weapon into a wall the monkeys will track you and split once they hit you. Piecemeal = Outlaw Hammerhead Darkside specials in inventory and other specials nearby. I really enjoy using all of the vehicles but can't shake the feeling that there may be a better way to use Warthog's special ._.' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHmFPL3aWfY Please watch how strong Thumper's special really is at 0:52.

I'll admit, I learned a thing or two from this post. Good job.
As far as I know about Warthog, he's probably the worst car in the game. Weak special, weak armour, and I believe he's slightly fast, but that's all he has going for him. His special was fairly similar in TM2, where all you had was three missiles that did Ok to decent damage. At least TM2 Warthod had heavy armour to make up for his lack of a good special. The way it was used in the PSX version, was that, the further away you shot the missiles from, the more damage they would do once they made contact with an enemy vehicle. You can possibly try that, since TMSB implemented a lot of aspects from TM2.

Hyeah, I gave that distance thing a go but no luck. It just seems to be a weak special ._.' It's hard for all of the missiles to hit too. Point blank and long range don't seem to have any difference. You can shoot a freeze missile with it to look like Minion's old special though ;p Shucks, wish they didn't make Warthog so sucky. Maybe it really is just a cruddy special.

I never use this car in Small Brawl He's the only car I've never liked as the special seems so vanilla.
I still think Warthog should really have been an SB version of Grasshopper. Character (and vehicle) would have fit better imo. And when I first saw that car in previews I thought straightaway of GH not warthog. Can't wait to see what WH looks like in the new game since he gets a new look every game. They should stick with the Hummer tho.

Rather informative. I will remember this the next time I play as Shadow in Small Brawl. Thanks.
For Warthog, I never really played much as him, so, I am not too sure as his special would have different ways to be used.

Speaking of Shadow, I had a very unusual experience with Piecemeal (boss version). He shot Shadow's special at me, but it homed in like Spectre's special. I guess he gets extra properties the big cheater.
There's one thing I haven't been able to do again in the game. Maybe others will be up for the challenge? In the Holiday Havoc level I managed to get on the top part of the couch. It was early when I first started playing the game so it didn't seem like a big deal at the time. Now I'd really like to get back up there. I just learned today that you can jump onto breakable things so long as you land with wheels only. I mean stuff like the Christmas presents around the tree or the plate of gingerbread cookies. Heck, I got Mime to jump onto the soda cans around the couch. Whether or not you can jump on everything needs further testing. Up down right doesn't use up your battery power and it does your special if you have any. Useful if you don't want to waste time scrolling to select your special. Found that tip on game winners I think but felt that i should put it here too_^)

Gahh, I'm soooo close! I tried taking Crimson Viper off the ramp to reach the top of the couch but there's no way he can reach that sort of spot. I had to get creative and jumped on Darkside, had him jump and turbo jump off of him while he had me on his back <@_@) Just a little short V_V Mime is probably the best at being carried because she's the smallest. It's too bad the bottom car can't drive around with the other on their back because it looks cool when you both fire your machine guns_^) If you're well balanced you can both rotate in opposite directions like a machine gun turret too. I figured I'd try Piecemeal because his car was the tallest but he's too hard to balance on properly. :(

Interesting post.
On a side note, how do you get Trapper? I swear I beat the game with everyone, but I still don't have him. I might still need to do Axel, but I think that's it.

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 01/12/10 at 04:45:03
Beat it with everyone pure and simple along with Mime, Darkside, and Axel. Easy way is to refer to the endings you've earned. I wish you the best, Trapper is fun, but his special has a lot of faults. Watch this video to get some insight into some of his problems:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Suu40-AYj1A Oh, and Shadow Assassin, I made a mistake. Shadow's direct hits do more damage so try and hit them dead on if you can. ;D

Well I've been unsuccessful at figuring out Warthog's secret to his missiles and reaching the top of the couch. Maybe someday I'll find out how to. It's a shame remote control bombs don't let you go higher. I might try and experiment with using Shadow's special as an extra boost because it seems to bounce people higher than remote bombs ._.' Some of my last thoughts are that this game really is a lot of fun despite the graphics. It taught me not to judge a game by its graphics (and for those of you who own TM III and 4, they can be fun as well even if they ain't nearly as cool as Singletrac/Incog stuff).
Oh, I also didn't know you could destroy the playhouses in the first Playground Peril stage OR shoot down the slabs of meat in the Meat Your Maker level. I wonder if they can damage people if they land on someone. No way to test it for sure because 2 player mode they don't have slabs of meat come out periodically v_v LAter!

good question. I havent digested TMSB to such a degree but from what I noticed theres nothing special about Warthog's weapon.
almost forgot Axels special worked that way tbh.. that Sweet Tooth's rico like special is what made me like playing the game haha. one thing too - there is no such thing as looking too much into it at TMA. We're hardcore.

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 01/13/10 at 06:41:12
Thanks for the encouragement. I actually sat down and tried a tournament with Warthog to see if I couldn't get some sort of insight. I got killed by the grinder in Meat your Maker with 40 power missiles and 5 specials and said Frick. But I did learn you can put up a shield to prevent yourself from getting killed so there was some good that came out of it.
After playing around with Warthog I'm confident to say that you have to break out of the mentality that he's tough like in the older TM's. He's a very hit and run type of character. What's more, is that his special works very well in that fashion. It's all your eggs in one basket in one shot unlike Crimson Fury. Just shoot, hope for the best and go. I think the biggest find I made was the connection with freezing though. Typically, there's two ways to unfreeze someone, napalm and a special (except Outlaw). Warthog's special hits once so it's easier to manage than compared with someone like Thumper or Trapper. Here's an example of what I mean: 1. Special 2. Freeze (in rapid succession). This means the second they get hit they get frozen so you can use other items. If it were Thumper you'd unfreeze them and besides, it's not easy to aim with his super. I suppose you could use this same method in playing with Shadow. Hit them stop them keep hitting them run away etc. I'm looking into this way too much :-[ Oh yeah, Archminion, I didn't respond to your opinion and I felt bad for leaving you out. I do agree, Warthog doesn't look very Warthoggy. The game definitely could have used more than 2 girls. If they are to make a new TM game for PS3, I know that they'll be able to do something fitting for Warthog that we'll love. He hasn't missed a tournament yet. Hmm, come to think of it, this version of Warthog looks sorta like Pit Viper, does anyone remember her?

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 01/13/10 at 20:29:00
I think the conclusion I've come to in regards to Warthog's special is that its main strength is its homing ability. Although it doesn't have Spectre's special homing ability it does decent damage if you string enough together. After seeing how much damage 5 specials equals to on Piecemeal in a versus mode experiment Warthog is probably average at best. 5 specials does around half of Piecemeals health and it's certainly better than Spectre's accumulated damage. Warthog is a fun challenge to play as and his special is effective from longer distances. However, if I were to consider him in a tier list he'd probably fall in as second last in terms of his special ability.
Fun trivia for Small Brawl: What happens when you take Darkside's special against Hammerhead's special? Both get increases in armour and speed. Both can handle quite a few power missiles with their specials on. The answer is, although Darkside still has his special on, Hammerhead will do regular damage to Darkside and take hardly any damage. So, if you're ever using Hammerhead against Darkside, you know what to do_^) I think that's all I have to say about Small Brawl. If anyone got suckered into getting TM III or 4 and think it's garbage I will say two things. It's only garbage if you don't know how to play it properly. The core of TM is driving unique vehicles with unique stats and blow stuff up in good environments. Maybe these tricks will renew some respect for these games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVcW6fb5AcU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCpz1G9J3c4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4UhYN9MURQ Sorry for the quality, I'm here to share tricks on unorthodox play and make people play old stuff again. Hope you find it interesting :-[

I started playing Small Brawl again.
Your tip on Shadow's special worked great, and I was able to beat the game pretty easily. I forgot how tough Trapper and his Monkey special can be.

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 01/13/10 at 23:26:16
I remember my first few times fighting Trapper were a nightmare but I could hold off Piecemeal. If you know how his special works it ain't so bad but the fact that he has a lot of power missiles is what makes him more difficult to deal with. If you want to make his monkey special useless go into tight spaces. It should make the monkeys miss more. Also, if you use Trapper in tournament mode in that stage his monkey special is bigger if I'm not mistaken.
Ah, one last thing I noticed about Shadow that you probably already know is that it only works on one level and doesn't hover through the air so much. So if you know there's someone below you, using the special will make the grim reaper drop straight down I think. I haven't really looked into Shadow more but I know his special doesn't bounce people higher than remote bombs (crud).

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by XShadowAssassinX on 01/13/10 at 23:29:59
Yes. That I do know.
I use Shadow the most, so I do know when to strike, and with what weapon. Trapper is far more challenging than Piecemeal. Since, he runs away after a while.... then comes back. I'm glad I came back to this game, I still play Black pretty regularly, but, this game is pretty fun as well.

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 01/13/10 at 23:46:03
I like all the characters in the game but I'm more of a Darkside Hammerhead player. I bought Black and got everything (I cheated) but the game is still a pretty big mystery and I'm not as well versed with everything like I am with the other ones haha. Same with Head On, haven't fully dissected that game personally. One thing I dislike heavily in Black is that feeling of the cpu teaming up on you.

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by XShadowAssassinX on 01/14/10 at 00:05:58
Yeah, it does get kind of old when all the opponents just go after you. It can be challenging, but, kind of cheap, too.
As long as I have Shadow, I do pretty well. Head On is fun, the Lost part, too. I can't help but wonder, what could have fully been the Harbor City world.

I think I need to put down small brawl and go try out Black. Recently I went and played it again and took it slow just to explore the stages more thoroughly. I had no idea the one city stage with the carnival had a girls girls girls place. All these little things you can miss amaze me hahaha. Black had the best atmosphere and voice actors. Sweet Tooth's monologue was very good. When I first played it I was wondering where the napalm was. The original team really knew how to make it a fresh game again but retain some of the finer qualities. So instead of napalm we got gas canisters that you can drop at will. Nice_^) Playing it without cheats will be scary but I think it will be a great experience. I can't imagine Small Brawl with cheats now that I think about it. I must be missing out on 3/4 of the game by using cheats. Shadow has two specials doesn't she?

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by XShadowAssassinX on 01/14/10 at 02:11:32
Yes, Shadow has two.
The Soul Shadow and when you press up three times, you will get the second special, where she comes out the top and shoots a turret. It's kind of like Outlaw's.

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 01/14/10 at 05:43:39
No no, no cheats for Small Brawl. I said I cheated for Black but I think it stole a lot of fun from the game. The next thing I mentioned was that I couldn't imagine playing Small Brawl with cheats, it just wouldn't be the same at all. However, games where you don't have to unlock everything the old fashioned way and have cheats means you don't need to save a file and I really enjoy those games the most.
Speaking of cheats, there are gameshark codes for Small Brawl and I am thinking of getting one so I can use Darkside and Primeval from III (don't hate me! I always wanted to use those guys!). Any games with glitches and altered ways of playing are welcome bonuses to replay value I say_^) Heck, now I can finally use Dark Tooth in TM2.

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 01/14/10 at 14:41:36
Wow, people really don't like it do they <@_@) I will admit it's got horrendous endings. It went from TM2 awesome nitty gritty still images and wonderful dialogue (Axel's was so awesome for his ending) to everyone getting bad endings (III) and choppy frame rates in 4 (Sweet Tooth juggling very badly in the background). My friend in highschool pointed out how bad Calypso's ending really was in TM4. Some boy finds them inside the ring that takes souls . . . . . . fighting over a smaller ring. Wow that's bad hahaha.
I'm still new to this site but I can only assume there was a lot of bickering about TM III and 4's legitimacy. Ah well. I was thinking about Small Brawl again last night and checking out Mr. Grimm's special. I think I saw one of the pumpkins hit the ground which would really limit it's effectiveness from longer distances. Granted, you're better off using it point blank so you don't miss anyways.

I have a set of TMSB game shark codes which I can't use bcos I don't have the damn GS (or a ps1 anymore)
There are codes here that let you play as the big BOSS versions of Trapper and Piecemeal kinda like Dark Tooth from TM2. If your interested ask and I'll post the codes here Let me know if anyone has these working mainly the ones for Trap and Piece.

Oh man, are you serious? That would be really cool. If I end up getting a game shark and being able to use the boss versions of Trapper and Piecemeal I'd totally put vids up on youtube_^) I've had like, two game sharks that you plug into the back but my oldest Playstation died so I never got a chance to use either of them. Having said that, I've had a very bad history with gamesharks but always wanted to get them to work. I should order one off ebay soon to give it a go!

I've never used a gameshark really so I don't even know what to do when the time comes. Scary, but exciting. So you can use them in any stage?

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Archminion on 01/15/10 at 23:02:44
I reckon you might be able to have big and little in one match.
just a guess like. But the GS code digits are different for the playable and boss versions. I think the game would consider them 2 different cars. btw. Everyone hates TM3 and 4 with a passion here but a little bird used the GS codes and told me Primeval and Darkside are fully playable in TM3. Primeval is (allegedly) very cool with a wide wheel base so no flipping and great armour, speed and special. I wouldn't know anything about that though...

Ee hee, I'd probably give that Darkside and Primeval thing a whirl too. Always wanted to see what Primeval's special was really about but I've only been able to make some guesses based on youtube vids. Either way, so long as I get to use the boss versions of Trapper and Piecemeal it'll be worth getting a gameshark_^)
Oh, that whole jumping off cars thing. I tried it in the Meat your Maker stage because there are some holes near the grinder wall. You can't go inside unfortunately <v_v)

What do you mean?
If you use the codes then you have to play as only that car until you reset the machine. (if this is what you mean by locked unlocked) I know on TM2 and a certain *other* unmentionable TM game when you use a code for an unplayable boss then when you play the game you will alwaysd be that boss. Its unlocked with the code. In fact I think if you assigned 2 different boss codes to the same player then the game would probably crash or just ignore the first one entered. I know it goes by player as well. So you need to make sure that you have the code set for the player who you want to be that boss. If this makes sense....cos it sounds like greek salad to me...

yup,
it works like that in the other games. You could pick slam, grimm whoever. when you start it'll play as the character you put the code in for. Some of the newer gamesharks don't work with some of the older tm games btw. I don't know about Small Brawl as the last time I tried a (newer) GS with that it wouldn't work. Though I didn't know about these codes at the time.

if you google around you'll find out the early versions of the gs.
(1.1, 1.2 etc) if you buy off ebay most sellers even say which version it is. just get as early a version as possible. my old one was great. the newer one i had didn't work with any TM codes! i ight pick up an old ps1 just to try out the small brawl boss codes. And smokey, its a decent game and very cheap now, why not pick it up to pass the time till tmps3? just don't expect a game as good as tm2 or black...

Yep I'm sure.
I can use UK ps1 games in my UK ps3. I'm quite sure it was the same with the US version (just the ps2 compat removed). You can grab small brawl for a few bucks now ... In fact I've seen them sell for a cent on ebay

The earlist ps3 (us and jap only I think) did have backwards compat with ps2 but sony removed it for europe and later releases in the us and japan, I think my facts are right but they might be a bit off.
But all ps3's have compat with ps1 if I'm right.. go ahead try it. You must have an old ps1 game kicking about?? an old demo disk would do. Thats how I found out as I automatically thought all the backwards compat was stripped out and the psn download games had ps1 software built in to run them.

Oh, and I wanted to ask, does anyone know if you can use a rear freeze attack in small brawl? I've seen the computer do it to me but I haven't figured it out yet. :-/

I'm going to guess and say a CD based GS might be to recent for this stuff to work (I only ever had the cartridge based GS) I might be wrong though and if you can pick one up cheap enough I'd say its worth a try. btw found mine and its version 2.2 and the TM codes DIDN'T work.

Hyeah, I'm going to bid for one probably. The thing that strikes me is the time Small Brawl was made. It happened at around the time when PS2 was in its infancy which means it was probably one of the last or later ps games to be released before Sony abandoned their psone system maybe. I hope it works out in the end. I would really like to use Piecemeal and Trapper on my little psone :P

Bought it, now I gotta wait for it to get shipped over here. I'll be crossing my fingers the whole time hoping to make things work out. I've been experimenting on Boss Piecemeal lately with different specials and noticed that Hammerhead's special is useless on him. It doesn't seem to do any damage whatsoever BUT, it does allow you to sit nicely on top of him while he tries to shoot you heh. I also noticed a computer car breaking one of the movie seats, is it possible to destroy them regularly? I had no idea you could <@_@) Also, I took Hammerhead against Boss Trapper (Normal difficulty) and took out a quarter-half of his health with 5 specials and using up my battery bar for mines. Pretty impressive damage ;D

I'm guessing you won't have paid much for your small brawl?
I think they made way to many copies than actually sold lol. It got some pretty poor reviews. I think it was probably the least popular (sales wise) and because it was still a wide release is very cheap to pick up. I think it does have the worst balance of all the games in the series. The playable bosses aren't all that hot and many of the normal cars are way powerful than others imo. Twister is the best I reckon. One hint of advice: power missiles! Still it's great fun and I love some of the level design- not the best but still a worthy entry in the series. Keep us updated if you get your boss codes working...

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 01/29/10 at 16:43:47
Yes, I bought mine for a relatively cheap price (brand new on ebay actually and the price was surprisingly low still). I recall the first time I laid eyes on the game (THOSE ARE GOLF BALLS!?) but it's the one TM game I play the most strangely enough. I find it interesting you say Twister is the best (very surprised actually). I think out of the whole game Darkside and Hammerhead are probably the best, and therefore Piecemeal is the strongest especially with that Outlaw special included. You're also right about the power missiles, I definitely try to get 40 by the last stage. I will definitely keep everyone updated to whether or not those boss codes work.
As a sidenote, I found some other interesting tidbits in Small Brawl. If you're using a large vehicle in the Carn-o-maul level you can get in the tunnels and to the health faster. In the tunnel there is a health but there is also a ledge above it (which I frequently use to jump on and just snipe at cpu cars who get stupid and keep shooting the bottom). Anyways, if you jump on that ledge and don't fully land on it you may get forced down to the health. So far I've done that with Piecemeal, Trapper and Darkside. One other thing I wanted to mention was using Mime against Boss Piecemeal. If you have Hammerhead's special you can basically call it a day. It will let Mime climb up on Piecemeal but if you hold onto the brakes you'll be sitting on him and slanted down so you can just keep feeding him power missiles until he's gone. Oh, and those seats can be destroyed but it takes forever, that's it for now_^)

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 02/16/10 at 02:43:32
I got my gameshark and I finally got a chance to use Big PIECEMEAL. So far I've still been experimenting with my gameshark but for those of you who want to use the larger bosses, it's a short lived experience but I think everyone figures that if they think about it. So what does he play like? He has the same speed as a regular car, the feel is the same too and he has some tight turns. To be honest, you're probably better off with the smaller version but it's neat to be able to use the huge guy. There are a lot of stages where he plays poorly though because for some reason he can't move well on flat ground but moves normally on slanted ramps. He also doesn't telegraph what his next special is which is very frustrating. It's very random but from what I've seen he does favour the Darkside and Hammerhead specials a lot. PIECEMEAL also suffers in terms of height. He can't exactly pick up items very easily. Sometimes I need to jump and get the items from the impact of the jump. His armour is very high, highest probably. Oh, and PIECEMEAL can have a damaged look to him unlike the cpu version unless I wasn't looking very well.
TRAPPER has higher armour and his special is actually different than the smaller Trapper special. Well, the monkeys are bigger and they seem to home in a lot better but they still suffer a lot of the flaws they had before. One last note is that in two player mode the camera pans out for both of them so you can't exactly see very well even if you adjust the camera. However, in one player mode it's fine. If anyone wants me to make some vids I'll do it. If anyone has any specific questions to either of these bosses feel free and ask and I'll do some research on it_^)

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 02/16/10 at 02:58:53
. . . . I just noticed that when using TRAPPER in one player mode the camera is always panned from far away so you can't be any closer. Once you get to the level where you'd fight yourself you can't fight. The spot you start on will be empty and you'll see enemies try to shoot at you as if you were there. Shucks, and he was so fun to use already .-. Maybe if I wait and let everyone kill one another . . . .

That was radtastic. The scenes were well constructed and there was a lot of motion and explosion in most of them_^) It always was a cool feeling to follow your missiles haha. The double kills were pretty dramatic. Well, Double KO's always are ;p I liked how you showed Twister picking up a lot of people, that special never seems to last long enough ._. The last set of dodges with Hammerhead were boss. Rare footage or hard footage to get of someone dodging that many weapons consecutively only to be killed by weak machine gun bullets heh.

Heh, hyeah, I noticed the double H's right away, it's definitely a good design on the back of the vehicle. Hmmm, something just popped into my mind though. When Hammerhead uses his special on you you can't drive but you can jump, which would lead to me to believe that you can put up a shield. Whether or not you'd still take damage is a mystery though. I've also seen times when Hammerhead would run over me but he wouldn't grind with his wheels and he'd just slip off right away. Maybe the computer has different versions of specials like Darkside being able to hit only once with his ram :-? Gonna give the gameshark another whirl today. Hope I stumble on something cool!

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 02/16/10 at 23:11:19
I'll put up some (crappy quality) vids once I finish some more research on the gameshark codes. When I try using PIECEMEAL in tournament mode the game won't load and with Trapper he can only play 3 stages. Maybe I can enter one of my saved game files and force the game to use one of the bosses though.
I noticed something more with PIECEMEAL's specials. Sometimes he doesn't do anything and I thought it was sorta weird to use up a special. Turns out it was Outlaw's special but the electricity is invisible (kinda cheap when you think about it). His Hammerhead special is hard to get working too because it's hard to touch another car when you're so tall. The Darkside special is also much different. Unlike the regular Darkside special where you have to avoid contact to connect another ram, PIECEMEAL gets a two hit ram with one ram. So, getting 4 ram hits is a cinch but I'm not sure if you can get more in there. Last thing I found out is that TRAPPER is FAST. Just way too fast. Both of the bosses have such high armours that you don't really need to grab health. Last note is that TRAPPER's specials have less range but because they're bigger and don't move as far away from the target as the smaller version, they're better at hitting. And they do more damage.

We really need to request that if there is going to be a new TM game in the future, don't skimp us and let us use the big versions PLEASE. I'm talking about Big Minion, not puny minion like in TM Black. This might be my last Small brawl post unless I find something super awesome. Just wanted to say, it was definitely worth it to get a game shark to use Boss Trapper and Boss Piecemeal, Darkside, Primeval (that's right) and to be able to do things not normally possible in games_^)

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 02/21/10 at 17:35:59
I wish you the best in finding one. An update for what other things I noticed was that it is possible to have one of the players designated as Boss Trapper and let the other player use mini trapper. The size difference is pretty surprising. Whenever there is a Boss Trapper and there's either a mini trapper, Mime or Piecemeal they'll use the larger version of the monkey special.
One last thing I noticed was that Boss Piecemeal (and probably small piecemeal) actually have 6 wheels. There are the regular large hind wheels from Axel and two in the front that you normally see but if you move closer you'll see another set higher up and between the other two wheels. Pretty neat 8-)

Will you be uploading some Piecemeal vids ? would like to see the big guy in action. Its interesting that both big bosses crash the game sometimes- like TM2 Dark Tooth. Darkside and Primeval are fully playable and never crashed it for me. maybe these 2 cars were intended to be playable? Just makes it more bizarre that they weren't.

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 02/23/10 at 02:57:39
Yes, actually I did upload some Boss Piecemeal videos but I forgot to give the link last time. Just click on my username Toomnyusernae on Youtube to find 5 videos of me playing as him. They are just vids of him in different stages and what problems he might have in those particular levels.
From what I've seen so far these bosses don't crash the game unless they have something to do with Tournament mode, so just stay away from that. It just sucks that I can't use them in the unlockable stages though (I really wanted to climb that couch!). But having the bosses is reward enough. (TM 3+4 haters don't need to read the following) Hyeah, I got to use Primeval and Darkside and if you beat the game with either of them, the game crashes but since they don't have endings you're better off playing with a CPU ally. So that means you can use one of he bosses while your ally is the other, nice mix_^) Using bosses that weren't available is what I've been using my gameshark for primarily, so it's an opportunity to finally get at an itch that's been bothering me since highschool <@_@) I finally got a dream of mine to work in TM 4 with a rapid fire code and an all weapons code. For those of you who do watch it, skip to 2:17 for the good stuff to start_^) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msy-HmU0Qcw

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 03/05/10 at 03:08:54
I say this every time but I think this is going to be my last post haha. Went and did a couple of minor experiments with Boss Trapper and Boss Piecemeal. First test, speed test, who is faster? Quite frankly, I think they're the same speed, which is pretty dang fast. Crimson Fury, the car with the best regular speed (Darkside and Hammerhead get turbo basically during their specials) can't outrun Boss Trapper and even with turbo can barely catch up to him.
Second experiment was the armour test. Who has the highest grade armour? Did a test with regular trapper because his special was powerful enough and consistent compared to other specials. Boss Trapper could handle 9 of trapper's monkey specials while Boss Piecemeal could take 12 of them. That's pretty dang impressive seeing as how Darkside takes such a beating from a couple of trapper's specials ._. Hope this was interesting to someone.

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 03/06/10 at 18:10:51
I feel like an R tard but what is PM and what are you referring to for deathmatches? There's still some things I need to try out with the bosses but it sucks I can't take them to the unlockable stages for some reason (won't load). I posted earlier that Boss Piecemeal could withstand 12 of regular trapper's specials. So what's the damage difference between the small one and the real big one? Boss Trapper only needs 8 specials to kill Boss Piecemeal (zomg, sooo powerful, and I swear the special goes further and the subsequent monkeys don't swing as far as the regular trapper's).
I've never played this game with a friend so there may be some interesting research that can be done but if both players are using the bosses the camera angles are just horrendous ._.' You can't see items and that means enemy cars up close unless you use that indicator everyone has over their cars.

(hey hey, I said I feel like an R tard, not I am an r tard hahaha)
So, Archminion you'd like to see some matches as demonstrations am I correct? I went into cooperative mode to try some stuff out with the bosses. I had P1 as Warthog and P2 as PIECEMEAL. Pretty neat experience. I had infinite specials for Warthog to see if I couldn't find that insight I've been looking for these last few weeks. I let PIECEMEAL just handle hits while I went and killed everyone. Once I got to the Mini-golf Mayhem stage PIECEMEAL was taking a beating and Slam actually got the grab on him (I'll have to see what angle he did that from). So Trapper showed up, killed him, moving on. Everything was the same until the final stage. P2 was just not there and the camera was just idle until the boss came out. The camera would follow the boss in the 2P screen and when he took enough hits he'd disappear and the camera would sit still again. I can only assume this is the same case for TRAPPER if one were to use him. I got the ending for Warthog which was cool because I didn't know you could earn endings with two people playing. One thing I did notice with Warthog's special was the random force it had ._.' Sometimes when they hit the cpu the car would go sliding and I could see the marks on the ground. Maybe at max distance it has special properties after all? More research on the way! One thing I'd like to know is how many Sweet Tooth specials can I have sliding around_^)

Title: Re: Twisted Metal Small Brawl question. Post by Toomnyusernae on 03/07/10 at 20:02:33
Yes, I would definitely say that using either one of the bosses makes it virtually impossible for you to lose because they benefit from such a higher level of health. The only problem is PIECEMEAL unable to pick up weapons, health and drive properly on many of the stages but he does have an Outlaw special at his disposal. I think TRAPPER is the best vehicle in the game due to the armour though. I'm uncertain what would happen if I did a co-op tournament with TRAPPER and PIECEMEAL though. Secret ending? the game will probably just hang ;p
Oh man, getting to use the actual Minion or Warhawk would be boss. I'm sure you could only use Warhawk in the building stage but getting the chance would be real fun >_< Oh and Obliverate, what's with the animosity here? I didn't refer to you as a retard.

A quick note about Shadow's special: if you play Shock Therapy in death match mode, hit an opponent on the rear with the special, it is possible to get a one-hit kill. or damn close to it.. I've only been able to do this on the PS2 with the disk speed set on high.

I presume you're using a PS2, so the issues you're encountering may be emulation-related (even though the PS2 mostly uses PS1 hardware emulation). Long ago I used to play Final Fantasy VIII and IX on my PS2 with codes (via a GameShark Lite - couldn't stand the limitations in the GS2.0's PS1 disc), but certain codes inexplicably didn't work, only partially worked, and/or caused random crashes. Using a cheating setup on a real PS1 (or maybe even a PC emulator) would likely be your best bet for better compatibility. On another note, unfortunately I don't own TMSB, and my PS2's disc drive is kind of broken at this time. So I can't test the game out with my own GS2.0 PS1 disc/GS Lite. Maybe someone else would be able to provide more assistance if you were willing to post the mastercode (aka (M)/Must be on/etc) code you're using, as well as at least one of the non-working codes you mentioned? |

I didn't explain, but my actual setup is PS1 with Gameshark 2.0. It seems to be the combination of my console, the game and the gameshark, and not which code I'm using. What I need to do is try on another console possibly. There is something peculiar with the codes though. Websites list the same effect with slight variation of code. Take for example Infinite Turbo : 801504ac 03e8 or 801524AC 03E8. Similar variation for Fire Missile: 80151ea0 0003 or 80151EA0 0009. Either way, I've tried the variation of code to same result, game freeze during level loading |

Man I haven't been here in years. A couple of things to say.
This game has codes. I didn't realize this until recently. So much easier to conduct experiments. You can't get frozen with god mode, you can't die in the treetop rumble stage or from Meat Your Maker grinders. And you can't unlock things in endurance mode. The other thing I learned? The Fire Extinguisher in the final stage. You can use one of the ramp opposite to it and fire a missile at it when ramping up to the stage. The fire extinguisher breaks the chairs and also does insane damage to a target. It can almost kill Darkside when he's not moving. It will however unfreeze opponents. Fun fact. It takes 12-17 power missiles to break one of the chairs. I forget the exact number. Pretty wild. This game is so incredibly fun. There's also one hit kill code that lets you earn your endings faster or Trapper or Piecemeal I guess. Groovy. |

Pretty cool. I had no idea about that fire extinguisher trick. |

And finally after all these years I have a better understanding of how the fridge freeze ice cubes work in the Easy Death Oven level. The freeze shots do slight damage but the ice cubes have slight tracking.
Buster's Lanes. I've had moments where a random cpu will just suddenly die instantly from the bowling balls when they have a lot of health. Not sure if there's some sort of glitch or trick to it. Same thing can happen in the microwave with full health as well. |

Fun Shadow glitch on Treetop rumble. If you fire off a special prior to dying after falling, and you re-spawn:
- Your next special will fire another reaper when it stops. It can loop when you're close to a corner. Pretty wild and there's a youtube video if you search it up. The developer has been doing commentary, streaming on Twitch as well and answering a lot of questions. Like how Warthog was originally Grasshopper but they made the change suddenly near the end. |
