Go donate to Japan. Do it.

Yeah, something really crazy happened over there, or something, and they need some MORNING RESCUE, so go find some Japan Red Cross outlet to donate to Japanese relief efforts. Isemiya and WOMI would be grateful, I’m sure.

RKS 1.06a - Replay Speed Increase

They really weren't kidding when they said they increased the speed on the fast-forward.

Freudenstachel Replay Time Glitch

I was messing around with the Freudenstachel demo today, and I found something rather interesting. Check out this replay to see what I mean. (Note: Watch the timer.) This is probably doable in the original as well, but I'm using a Freudenstachel replay, so hey. PS - You'll need 0.04a, which I'm sure most everyone has.

Introducing KreuzChannel, RKS HQ's Official YT Channel

I'm sure some people were wondering why the video I had uploaded to YouTube were deleted, and the reason is this! I've been working on transferring the videos over to an "official" Schwer and Schwer Alike channel called KreuzChannel.

This channel will be the one-stop YT channel for pretty much any videos that get showcased on this channel from here on. One thing to note is that I have now included a glitch showcase video (see below), and I changed the Grollschwert C72 Trial to contain all-new footage and a new translation of the opening. Some videos, such as the hidden Freudenstachel stages, mod vids, etc. will remain on my personal YouTube channel, mostly because they're annotated, and I really don't feel like doing that again.

The channel serves another purpose, though. This channel is for you guys, the Schwer readers as well. We will be accepting contributions. If you have a replay or something like that you would like to showcase, I'll record it to video and toss it up on the channel with the proper credits. Future challenge submissions or time attacks also have a place there. My intention is to create what amounts to a bulletin board of various things from the RKS community, much like how this blog is something of our public forum, since setting up an actual forum to my liking, is cumbersome for me.

Well, I hope this turns out to be something great.



2ch has started their 7th RKS thread, but it looks like discussion is pretty much dead until either Summer Comiket rolls around or some major update happens, like the web trial, so we won't be hearing much from that end for a while. In the meantime, I'll do my best to give you guys something so you don't end up bored. If anyone wants to contribute anything like fanfiction or art or whatever (AND IT'S REASONABLY WELL DONE, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE), it may give me something to put up in our downtime. We shall see.

RKS's Best Kept Secret

Further Assistance Required

I've received more than one instant message claiming that my challenges are evil. So I uploaded this for you guys.

Here's a set of replays that I made a while back. In them, I defeat the Cross Wall with both Spiritia and Grolla without taking damage. Use this as a reference. Are there better ways of handling it? Yes, especially with Tia. I just wanted to give you guys a little help, considering everyone finds the Cross Wall so impossible. :3

And if you don't remember how to download things from the RKS Uploader, here's Luste again.

Video Replay: RKS Freudenstachel Demo (No Damage Clear)

RosenkreuzStilette player FallenAngelVeronica has posted a YouTube video displaying a No-Damage "run" (see comments) of the RosenkreuzStilette Freudenstachel demo using only Freudia's default weapon, Freudenstachel. Available in the comments is a mini-review of each stage.



I would love to see more of these, so if people in the community have replays or reviews they'd like to share, please let us know!

Video Replay: Grolla Mode - 1-Life Clear

RosenkreuzStilette player Kilgamayan has posted a 6-part YouTube video set of himself clearing Grolla Mode without dying. Considering the difficulties of a few of the fortress bosses (Cross Wall and Yellow Devil come to mind), this is quite an accomplishment. Be sure to check it out, and leave comments!

Here's the first video. I'm sure you can use links from there.

Also, the Pizza Delivery Challenge is still in play, and as of this posting, we've got 3 entries! The competition is fierce, so try it out, and submit your replays (even if they aren't so good). While you're at it, spread the word!

Edit:
Here's a link to the replay file, in case your connection isn't so YouTube-friendly. In case you're not sure how to download the files from the uploader, here's Luste.
