You can go back into boss rush after teleporting out but only before 20 minutes pass

I accidentally hit A instead of B on character select when I was checking which bosses I needed to beat
Had high damage/guppy/abaddon too

Damn. Satan's way harder than isaac IMO.

I have amassed an army.
I also have triple shot brimstone with proptosis, so essentially six brimstone lasers at the same time
edit: i just one shot mega satan
J182 YVD3
Guppy's Hairball + BFFs = Holy Shit Huge
So this was my first run after I got the d6. Seed's at the end.

Suddenly isaac is much easier to play.
JB28 ZKVC. Played as azazel but I'm sure it'll be fun regardless. I forget what happens cuz I was drunk but you get max's head somewhere on the first 2-3 floors and then later mutant spider, proptosis, polyphemus. So uh yeah too much damage. Also you can guppy so your flies can 2 shot bosses.

Oh yeah also BoB so I don't know what the multipliers are but that is lots.

And I believe magic mushroom but I am not certain.
Anyone else feel that Blue Baby is easier than the Isaac fight?
Every time I get an OP run, I get really cocky and end up dying from dumb damage.
Spiders man. Those little fuckers, always them. ALWAYS ONE OF THEM

They're both incredibly easy compared to how they were in the original game it feels like
The original mechanic of it firing crazy amounts of bullet at you if your fire rate was too good was dumb as shit, so I'm kinda glad. I think ??? needs to be buffed though, as a boss.
[QUOTE=StreetLights;46962511]Anyone else feel that Blue Baby is easier than the Isaac fight?[/QUOTE]
Isaac's only real threat is the light waves. In phase 1, he fires directly at you and never moves. In phase 2, he fires a bit more sporadically and spawns an occasional angel baby to fight you and random beams of light. In the last phase he has a flurry of tears that fire in the exact same pattern no matter where you are and it's easy to just keep whaling on him while he's doing that, and of course the beams of light coming in a wave formation.
??? has the same first phase but with occasional homing tears. Second phase has the same stuff as Isaac but without the angels and instead spawns bugs to attack you. He has no beams of light and spawns some eternal flies to circle him to make hitting him more of a pain in the butt. His final phase has him flying around and teleporting aggressively while spawning more mook enemies.
Both are pattern recognition, which is fine. But ??? is perceived as easier because he doesn't have the same grace period as Isaac where he'll just become intangible during the light beam attack. ??? just takes the hits on the chin if you manage to get past the eternal flies all around him.
you do know you can just hide in a corner and isaac's light waves won't hit you, right?
They should have did something really cool with ???, cause he's just disappointing right now. I had this image in my head of ??? in a 2x2 room sitting on a throne, surrounded by a ton of flies. As his health would drop, the chest would start to open.
It's weird how different the satan and lamb fights are, yet they did almost nothing to make isaac and ???'s fights different.

Not entirely true, sometimes the beams will hit you in the corner. I've never been hit hugging the top wall though.
Just finished a run where I had Pyromaniac, Anarchist's Cookbook, Mom's Toenail (Which does fucking explosive damage, amazing), and Technology with a fuckload of Tears Up and HP. It was glorious.
Kind of unfortunate that Ed made that time cutoff for ideas, having a good one after the fact means it'll likely never get noticed.
Damage Up + Tears Up. You are only allowed to have 1 tear at a time now. You'll never really experience the tears up unless you stick your face in an enemy's face. For items like Brimstone, Mom's Knife, Ludovico Technique, this is just a free stat-boost. Avoid Soy Milk and Tiny Planet like the plague. For multi-tear effects like Monstro's Lung, 20-20, Inner Eye, and Mutant Spider, the group of spawned tears are treated as one. You'll be unable to attack until all of them are gone.
It's basically King's Blade. Although with Ed working with Nicalis it may have already come up as an idea.

If you hide in the opposite corner that the wave started in then you're good
[editline]18th January 2015[/editline]
Top corner*
So I just lost my 33-0 win streak.
A homing troll bomb blew up literally as I was playing the animation for picking up Dead Cat. Kinda gutted.
I'm just gonna stop picking up Dead Cat in general. Getting stuck in a one-heart revive loop on Mom's Heart for the third time in a row is the end for me. Might as well just die at that point.
I love dead cat. I just decided to run into a challenge room with half a black heart (I had a lot of damage though) for the risky chance that I might get soul hearts from the 3 red chests. Got overexcited and ran at Dead Cat when it appeared and boom. Fuuuucked.

yeah I should've clarified, hide in the top corner that's opposite to the wave and you'll never get hit

Reminds me of the first time I beat Mom (not the heart) in the original game.
I had the Scapular and the Cursed Skull, I got reduced to half a heart while facing her and was teleported out of the room, after the second time it happened I realized that I was effectively invincible, needless to say It took me a while to beat her without taking damage.
I think it was very frustrating.

Only pick up Dead Cat if you don't care about red hearts (a lot of DMG, a lot of blue/black hearts). Having 9 lives is utterly useless if you can't endure a boss long enough to defeat it
Can your luck roll over or something, because I was like maxed on luck and did way worse on slots and shell games than I would normally.

I went into blue baby blind and was expecting something on the level of satan/the lamb, but was pretty disappointed. Hell, even [I]mom's heart/it lives[/I] is easier than blue baby IMO

Edmund said the fights were gonna be more bullet hell, I honestly was disappointed by how easy Isaac and Blue Baby are.

AFAIK luck doesn't affect shell games/slots. At least it seems that way, since I still mostly lost money on those games while playing runs with max luck.
I know that luck DOES guarantee better random drops from clearing rooms and higher odds of proccing certain effects (tooth shot/poison shot/mom's contacts, etc.)
