What is it? |
Re: Most Difficult OCD Mission | martinstatic | 11/10/2008 - 10:50 |
Hm, hard to say, probably ones with time limits if using a Wiimote, since that can be tricky, I find.
In general, OCD's are tricky so it's hard to pick the hardest. :) |

Fisty's Bog I tried it very often but never made it. Very frustrating. And there isn't any video tutorial yet.

I'm still working on the Super Fuse Challenge Time and Upper Shaft challenges. I think the former is just a matter of building like crazy and having a bit of luck (although at one point I was also able to have structure remaining after the fire reached the main platform; not sure how I managed that).
In Upper Shaft I'm still five goos short and I don't have a concrete idea of how to save more... but no spoilers please, I'm sure I'll figure something out sometime. |

Hard to say, There are so many out there that befuddle me. :-\
However I would have to say Weather Vane is one of the hardest for me. I don't even come close to meeting the OCD requirements. Then again, I was never able to get the one for Blustery Day, I always ended up one short.

Re: Most Difficult OCD Mission | Gil | 11/11/2008 - 04:28 |
Super Fuse Challenge was the hardest one for me. (Deliverance was also tricky)
Most OCDs have a trick which makes them much easier and not luck depended. |

Chapter 4 Level 2 "Bulletin Board System" :-\
These balls occasionally fly slower or in another angle than you might think... It's not really difficult, but can be f****** annoying!!!

Hehe, thanks for finding that, but it kind of feels like cheating, so I think I'll still try to go over the windmill. |
Re: Most Difficult OCD Mission | DEFE | 11/13/2008 - 02:35 |
I've had some difficulty completing Bulletin Board System. Super Fuse Challenge Time is tough too, but it seems like only a matter of time. It's a lot easier since I have my sister working with me. |
Re: Most Difficult OCD Mission | Soultaker | 11/13/2008 - 08:28 |
According to my data, Super Fuse Challenge Time is indeed the hardest:

What an accurate list :) | herminator | 11/20/2008 - 05:54 |
Wow, that list is accurate :)
Currently, I have just two levels where I haven't got OCD yet, and those are Super Fuse Challenge Time and Horizontal Transportation Innovation Committee. And I only recently got Bulletin Board System, Regurgitation Pumping Station and Ode to the Bridge Builder. :) |
Re: Most Difficult OCD Mission | Soultaker | 11/20/2008 - 09:50 |
Bulletin board system became a lot easier for me once I realized that the goos act deterministically, but their trajectory depends not just on their initial position and the angle/velocity that you use, but also on the edge that they're on!
That means that when you're shooting goos from a node (endpoint) of the structure, they seem to behave non-deterministically, because they are never actually on the node; instead they are on one of the adjacent edges (but it's hard to tell which one exactly).
Once I realized this, I started shooting goos only when they were clearly on one edge; then you just have to figure out the right angle to shoot at, but once you figure that out, it's not that hard (if a bit laborious) to have them all follow the same path. |
Re: Most Difficult OCD Mission | herminator | 11/21/2008 - 10:13 |
Heh, I didn't even realize that! At first, I often tried to shoot them exactly from a point, but later I didn't care so much en just grabbed the where they were, and it got easier. Never thought about why that was :)
I've also figured out a way to take the time pressure of on Super Fuse Challenge Time (ie: no more flame, but with structure and goo balls remaining), but on my latest attempt fell short of OCD by one ball >:( |

It seems that I don't know the trick. I've tried Deliverance like twenty times but the best result is 11 moves (OCD: 7 moves). When I get down to the third or fourth layer it always takes several goos to explode the wall... |
Re: Most Difficult OCD Mission | 4000a | 01/04/2009 - 11:12 |
No one will get this one: Observatory Observation station! I looked at chapter five in wog editor and there was a flag , so it must be some easter egg in the code. |
Re: Most Difficult OCD Mission | xolotl | 02/17/2009 - 12:49 |
Nice list, Soultaker! I'd be interested in seeing some updated numbers if you've got 'em.
I think that those two are the hardest simply because there really isn't a "trick" to either of them. You've just got to be good at building really tall structures (which I'm not, really). I almost managed SFCT the other day, but one of the beauty goos decided to take a suicide leap off the side of the structure, so I'm sitting at 31 goos on that currently. And then on HTIC I seem to be getting actually worse the more I try it - I've only managed to tie my second-time-ever-trying-the-level score, which was three short of OCD. Ah well. Eventually!
(Edit: Oh, I guess there is the trick for HTIC. I hadn't realized you could get OCD that way on it, had figured you'd accidentally kill too many goos. i suppose not, though...) Last modified Tue, 02/17/2009 - 12:55 by xolotl |

Many more players, although the figures didn't change much. Super Fuse Challenge Time is still by far the hardest: half as many OCDs as the next hardest level. The second and third hardest levels swapped. No surprise to see Water Lock is still the easiest, as you can basically keep on trying until you get the OCD. |

How did you build through the windmill like that? Every time I tried, it failed.
Oh -- I managed an OCD going over the top. Came up one short, but eventually I managed to break my trail, and free up one ball in the process. |
