spawned from the discussion in the 'have you ever beaten NiGHTS?' thread. i personally HATE THE TORNADOS.

... that is all.

ps- EDIT: thank you for fixing it wonderful admins/moderators!

[NNR07]

I've never had that much of a problem with Wizeman. Then again, I go kinda slow with him, so....yeah. I think I got a 2.0 with him once, but I'm not sure.

But, those cursed tornadoes D:! I hate them ><.

[Huruyami]

i dont know. i wouldnt know because IVE NEVER GOTTEN TO WIZEMAN AAAH

[Purgatory]

I didn't know what you wanted the poll itself to be titled, so I made up one. ^^; If you can think of a better one, I'll change it. But anyway ,I fixed it up and added tornadoes for you. Good, because I say tornadoes!

[animejosse]

God good, those tornadoes! I've only managed to pass through them once >__<

[Lavos]

Gah. The torandoes.

I don't even think NiGHTS' head fits through that small gap. >_<;

[Purgatory]

Ha ha! Yeah, I used to think it was damned impossible. In my more pathetic times, I would completely run out of time because of them!

[Exu]

Tornadoes, for sure.

[Huruyami]

from what you say about the tornadoes, i feel kinda glad that ive never gotten there.

[gsk]

Grr, I meant to vote Meteors, but voted tornado accidently... They're the most difficult because if you want to beat 70 seconds, you need to dash before they appear and you its hard to judge where exactly they'll be...

oh you need to dash to get through the tornado, as NiGHTS is a little bit smaller then than when hes flying normally

btw, by flying rocks I assume you mean the fireballs? I always took it that he used the four elements

Hmm... drilldashing. That's why I've never had a problem with the tornadoes....

[Tyson Toast]

It's always the flying rocks which get me. They always spawn directly on top of me, destroying my chances of getting a 2.0 on the multiplier.

[Purgatory]

I'm an idiot and I drill dash into the frickin' tornado. XD

[Innotech]

I REALLY needa buy a Saturn and NiGHTS so I can properly finish the game.

[Huruyami]

wow this is giving me some tips.....bring on the tips in case i ever get there xD

I know what you mean buddy!

[Sweep]

yeah you have to drilldash through the tornados but i always dash into them too! XD and yeah, the flying rocks i mean the fireballs but i almost put fireballs down and my sister was like "THEY'RE ROCKS." so i put rocks. evil sister D:

and thank you for fixing it! those tornados! grr!

[~Tsuki~]

Tornados are the evil. XD I usually end up in the tornado even if I try drill dash. lol

[Angela-Marina]

It's the fireballs for me. =( I usually get close to Wizeman, and then he'll hit me with a fireball, which is fine, but as soon as NiGHTS recovers he'll launch another and penalise me for another five seconds. Most frustrating indeed. >.<

I agree with gsk about the whole 'elements' thing, that's what I thought as well.
Fireballs/flying rocks =Fire
Meteors/Large rocks= Earth
Snowballs=Water
Tornadoes=Wind

PS.
Is it possible for you to rename the 'flying rocks' option? I voted meteors because I thought that was the 'fire' option (shows how smart I am). No offense, but both of them sound like the floating rocks that bob up and down.

[Feniiku]

Tornadoes for me

Though I've never had a problem getting a 2.0 on him, despite getting hit by a couple of tornadoes.

Eh.

And the elements thing- never noticed it before but it does make sense

[AYRiES]

I have never done the tornadoes right. I always miss that little gap! I do great on all the other parts, but the tornadoes are just ARGH.

[Sairus]

I've only fought him once or twice in the last decade, but them tornadoes have always stuck out as an annoying obsticale...

[Angela-Marina]

True, you think you've got the right spot and then, BAM! You've lost five seconds. >.<

[Purgatory]

Ha ha! Seems everyone hates those tornadoes! Good thing we managed to get it in there!

[Q-Lok]

Loathsome tornados! I hates them good! I've only ever gotten through the little gap once, and I'm still not even sure how I did it. >.<

[Huruyami]

i see that these tornadoes are quite bothersome.

[TehLazyOne]

I've always found the tornadoes and rocks to be troublesome... while I'm flying, the rocks just appear right there before i can react.
mostly though, its the tornadoes for me... its hard to see the point at where your supposed to fly through.

[animejosse]

Oh yes, the rocks can be annoying as well. I know you're supposed to fly in a variation of over-under-over, but I tend to mess that up.

[AirMax]

I hate those tornados! I'm always out of dash at the end of the stage, so when I get caught I'm already at 69 seconds. There goes my multiplyer...I only just got the hang of them a week ago...
Also, the fireballs got me mad, but I didn't vote for them. I'm right up on Wizeman, pushing his sheild, and he shoots me, gah! -5 Stay on the bottom or top when hitting him then!

[Sweep]

again, sorry it says flying rocks instead of fireballs, angela. i got confused and just put it down under the insistance of my sister. |D;;

[Sage]

Dang, the tornados were the least of my worries XD

I hate the snowballs myself. You automatically grab them if you touch them and they move so fast in the opposite direction that one wrong move completely screws you.

I'm pretty good at navigating the tornados actually. ^^;; *hides!*

[animejosse]

*gnaws on Sage* How do you do it~? *ahem* Seriously though, for some reason the snowballs were easier for me to avoid. I just wish I could remember how, seeing how I've only managed to actually defeat him twice

[Sage]

Well, one advantage I have is NOT having a back up cartridge XD. Every time I play NiGHTS, I start with all the default data. I don't know if the attack patterns change every time you play, but normally I have little trouble flying circles around Wizeman. Those snowballs just piss me off because of the ground you lose trying to get free. *grr*

How do you navigate the tornados? There's a tiny space you can fly through at the exact center of the two twister cones. Aim NiGHTS carefully to that spot, and drill dash right through. You should be able to get past it with little trouble. I admit it took some practice, but like I've said in another thread, I've owned and played NiGHTS for 10 years. ^_^ I've had PLENTY of time to hone my m4d m4r3n sk1llz.

[YamiLover13]

I'm an idiot and I drill dash into the frickin' tornado. XD

Thank you! I am not the only one! I am going to miss no matter what I do anyway. So I might as well speed to my doom as quickly as I can. lol

[Blue Fantasy]

I always get stuck on those stupid friggin snowballs. I try to dodge them but it's difficult at the angle, and then you grab them and they spin you and ugh! Never seem to have much trouble with the tornadoes, and the meteors/fireballs only hit me once in a blue moon.

[EZEKiAL]

I REALLY don't want to be hit for saying this...but...
I always found Wizeman rediculously easy. Even whenever I used to suck at the game and barely get C's, I got 1.9 and 2.0 every time I fought him.

*ducks in cover*

[Golden Charm]

The snowballs.

I was thinking tornadoes, but at least there's a gap in the middle. The snowballs are sporadic eeevils... randomly, fired, large in number and snag you for a while.

I think the tornadoes have caused me to miss him more, but I just hate the snowballs.

[DiGi Valentine]

It's always the flying rocks which get me. They always spawn directly on top of me, destroying my chances of getting a 2.0 on the multiplier.

Exactly!
I can charge my way past fireballs/meteors, i can dodge almost all the snowballs, i can gun through that tornado 9 times out of 10....but whenever that jammy git spawns the rows of flying rocks he always puts it right infront of where i'm flying and knocking 5 seconds out of me.

All the attacks he uses are shot, unlike the rocks which just SUDDENLY appear infront of you. >.<

[animejosse]

Sage: Hm, I've tried aiming for that space, but never while drill dashing... I should try that out.

[wyldflowa]

Yeah, go for the little gap in the middle of the tornadoes - you can just drill dash through it~

Wizeman is eeeeeasy. I think he's a bit of a disappointment for a last boss to be honest. Jackle and Gulpo are harder for me to beat than Wizeman~ If any part annoys me its the snowballs - but that's only on the rare occasion that they spawn to a different pattern to usual and throw me off my rythmn.

And anyways, I always drill dash after him when he rushes past you after you hit him meaning that I skip most of the next obstacle anyways. XD
