How big was your school? We had a cafeteria in ours, but we also had a student lounge and I ate there, then after eating I played Marvel vs Capcom 2 or Foosball.

My graduating year was about 40 people. I think there was about 500 in the whole school.

No, 'cuz Canada - there was no lunch room, no cafeteria. You ate your bag lunch or used the vending machine.

Of course, that was at the time - nowadays everyone uses the in-house McDonalds (thanks obama)

Yes, but it sucked ass and it didn't even feel canon (nearly all FM games are canon and it's one of the most supplemental material heavy franchises around). I want a real Front Mission you know, an SRPG with a nice story.

It's also possible the person from the wiki was just generating an average. If the base damage is 10 (10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80), then you'd generate an average of 45 assuming no weight... which is roughly consistent with the numbers.

The damage in Hexen has very small ranges of variance, so it's possible it's d8 or 2d8 plus an offset.

The sapphire wand is certainly small enough to be base damage 3 or 4, but stuff like Fighter Punching is like 2d8+30

Not sure

Ok, Hexen damage

Yes, Iceshards does have an alternate melee attack.

For reference, the damage I have is based on Fighter Punches, which do 40~50 damage, with the 3rd punch dealing 80~100 (so it's a 2punch).

Iceshards, by comparison, does about 7 damage per shard... pitiful. BUT, the melee attack deals 90~100, so ice in melee is about equal to the Fighter's 3rd punch. Likewise, if the fighter is using the Axe, he does about 35~50 damage if he has no mana, or about as much as a regular punch... and 80~120 with mana... or a 3rd punch. 80~100 is also the damage of a Firestorm impact

Data isn't exact since I'm going from a garbage wiki and not .WAD data.

Sapphire Wand is 24~36, or about half+ of a punch, and the Cleric Mace is garbage doing 25~40 so it's only a token stronger than the wand, but at best can tie a punch at worse.

Currently doing a Priest run on the default difficulty (the middle one).

Hexen also did something smart with the difficulty settings; on higher difficulties weapons are placed in different places, and unlike doom - monster that respawn don't always respawn as themselves, they can respawn as a basic Ettin instead.

I missed a few secrets already 'cuz I forgot you can jump in Hexen.

Ya, I noticed that about playing Castlevania 1 with scrutiny lately - you get special weapons at very specific points and it's rather useful.

Stage 1, you get the whatever knife (also, did you guys know about the hidden treasures in the game? Try jumping past the gate to the castle)

When you climb the first stairs a panther jumps over you and you realize it is quite fast, might hit you even if you swing... the stairs slow you down enough so that the first panther safely jumps over you. The item at the top of the stairs is the holy water, which puts a small spot of deterrence (fire :D) on the ground... which will intercept the next panther handidly. The third panther is on a slightly lower platform, you'd have to either fall off and get hit (if you fail whip) or jump... landing right on it... .... or just use the holy water.

Likewise, you get an axe right before the first boss, and it's virtually essential. It's an easy boss, yes, but being able to attack it constantly is more enjoyable than waiting upwards of 10 seconds for it to dive down.

IE: The NES combat platformers that weren't about shooting

I specify combat platformer since, well, Mario isn't heavily combat focused, the enemies are just essentially agility hurdles (athletic?). This also includes arcade classics like Mappy or Goonies where combat is peripheral to technical performance.

And I'm specifying non-shooting as well to filter out greats like Contra and Megan Man

This is an incredible plane. It's stealthyou can't see it. So when I talk to even people from the other side, they're trying to order our plane. They like the fact that you can't see it. I said, "How would it do in battle with your plane?" They say, "Well we have one problemwe can't see your plane." That's a big problem. Stealth, super stealth. The best in the world. We make the best military equipment in the world. Also, remember this: jobs.
Amazing job. So amazing we are ordering hundreds of millions of dollars of new airplanes for the air force, especially the F-35. You like the F-35?... You cant see it. You literally cant see it. Its hard to fight a plane you cant see.
"With the Air Force, we're ordering a lot of planes, in particular the F-35 fighter jet, which is, you know, almost like an invisible fighter. I was asking the Air Force guys, I said, 'How good is this plane?' They said, 'Well, sir, you can't see it.' I said, yeah, but in a fight -- you know, a fight, like I watch in the movies -- they fight, they're fighting. How good is this? They say, 'Well, it wins every time because the enemy cannot see it. Even if it's right next to it, it can't see it.' I said, 'That helps. That's a good thing.'"

Of course, I mean RECENT releases... or at least semi-recent

Stuff like Titan Souls would be good, but it's not a platformer, but it IS the kinda area I'm going for.

There'd Awesomenauts and ... well, I guess Freedom Planet (I didn't care for it, but it's ok)

Super House of Dead Ninjas didn't do anything for me either... I think it was the flickering graphics.

Dreaming Sarah is good - and I recommend it to all

Luftrausers was also fun for a hot minute... and about that long.

1001 Spikes? Nidhogg? Sweezy Gunner (is good)

I mean, have you guys played Hydra Slayer?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/432380/Hydra_Slayer/

edit:

You are facing a nine-headed hydra. Your flaming longsword cuts five heads in each swipe (no more, no less), which will kill a five-headed hydra, but a larger one will regrow two heads after each swipe. Your storm scythe cuts exactly seven heads, but it makes ten heads grow back if the hydra is not dead. Is it possible to kill the hydra? What if you also had a silver dagger, which cuts just one head, but makes five heads grow back?

Solution: It is impossible without the silver dagger (the number of heads always stays divisible by 3), but possible with the silver dagger, for example: 9 -> longsword -> 6 -> longsword -> 3 -> dagger -> 7 -> scythe -> 0
