General Guy No Jump, No Hammer Stats: 10HP/10FP/3BP (Level 2) Badges: Double Dip Items: Egg Missile, Dusty Hammer, Fire Pop, Life Shroom, Thunder Rage x2, Thunder Bolt x2 *Shy Squad* T1: Charge, Egg Missile T2: Charge, Double Dip (Dusty Hammer+Fire Pop), Charge *Stilt Guys* T3: Charge, Star Storm *Shy Stacks* T4: Charge, Double Dip (Thunder Rage+Thunder Rage) *General Guy* T5: Headbonk, Double Dip (Thunder Bolt+Thunder Bolt) You can do this at Level 1 as well (with 5HP Mario), by using one more item, or by guarding the attack T1. Either 1) Double Dip Egg Missile+Thunder Bolt or 2) Guard 5/9 of the Shy Squad hits. You can do this at Level 3 as well (with 15HP Mario) with a Dusty Hammer T1 instead of an Egg Missile, which also looks cooler. However, the Life Shroom only heals to 10/15HP in that case, which doesn't look as clean. I did it at level 2 because I thought it looked cleanest. (Life Shroom heals exactly 10/10HP, Egg Missile does exactly enough to not need to guard or to use an additional item - 8 items also just looks cleaner to me than 9 which you need for Level 1) 5HP/10FP Mario also feels like it's cheating a bit to achieve "Level One" lol I don't like how many items you need for this strat, obviously, but I do think it's impressive getting a 5 turn KO with these restrictions. The "glitch"/second partner turn is necesasry, as you simply won't have options to KO in 5 turns. Even with Jump/Hammer, you'd be hard-pressed to find a 4 turn KO without pre-damage peril setup. --- Other strat ideas I had: -Counting up from 1 to 11. -1 and 2 damage hits on Shy Squad -3 and 4 multi-hits on Stilt Guys (perfect damage) -5, 6, 7 hits (one multi, two single) on Shy Stack -8 on Bulb (perfect damage) -9, 10, 11 on General Guy (perfect damage) -Hammerman variants -Standard hammerman -Mario Alone -Pacifist Partners None of these worked perfectly the way I wanted them to, so I went for more of a silly strat. Shoutout to Aaran for finding this glitch. "Pacifist Partners" is the only one that I got to work "perfectly", but I didn't like the condition itself that much if it didn't give me a really cool strat. Hopefully coming up with something a little different than my usual "hammerman + [x]" still goes well. LOL ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8E_1fluJa4
