Trivia / VG Myths

• Creator Backlash: The pacifist run of Cave Story splices in footage from another run of the game because a trick to get one boss killed by an AI-controlled Curly Brace was not discovered until the video was almost completed. Gamechamp posted an apology for not stating this in the video's comments section and mentioned this in her video ranking the runs from seasons 1-3, expressing her discomfort with her reasoning at the time that the rest of the run was unchanged. She has since redone the run single-segment.
• Development Hell:
  • "Can You Beat Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Without Spirits or Skills?", which took seven months to complete.
  • "Can You Beat Rockman 3 Without Getting Hit?", which came out 3 years after the Rockman 2 video (mainly due to being stuck on fighting Doc Quick Man, even describing the Wily Stages afterwards a "victory lap").
• Inspiration for the Work: The Jumpless Mario Odyssey run was inspired by pannenkoek2012’s A-Button Challenge for Super Mario 64.
• Series Hiatus: Due to hand injuries sustained during her 1 card deck run of Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, Gamechamp had to put the series on hold after the beginning of 2023 while waiting for her hands to recover. In October of the same year, she returned to making videos by releasing a solo white mage run of Final Fantasy where she admits that she had been playing some games with her feet instead of her hands.
• Shrug of God: She is unsure whether to count getting hit (for no damage) by the Giant Metall's invisible hitbox post-death as failing the challenge, preferring to sidestep the question by just avoiding the hit entirely.
• Trolling Creator: Near the end of her successful Rockman 3 run, she beats the final of the eight robot masters during the Boss Rush and pretends she's softlocked... only to walk to the teleporter without issues.
• What Could Have Been:
  • "Can You Beat Castlevania Without Breaking Dracula's Stuff?" was mentioned by Gamechamp during "VG Myths Season 1 Ranked By Difficulty", where she stated that she couldn't find a way to defeat Death without breaking his scythes. She later confirmed said video to be "dead" during "VG Myths Season 3 Finale: Ranking Seasons 1-3."
