T Kemper and the odds.

Lucky Cynic

In case any of you are wondering, I did have T Kemper pop up recently and did quite an astounding 999 damage to a rabble of mimes recently. Just in case those of you wondering if he actually could do more than '1' damage. Yes. Yes he can.

Doubt I can replicate it though. :P

There is more to the feline than many of us are used to. I am still quite unsure if it really is 1 in 2 million odds. I guess I am quite lucky after-all.

I've had that twice through the time i've played it. It's rare, but it happens.

I really did not know that. nice.

torian

he actually did that the first time I used him, and then NEVER AGAIN.

Yeah, he did it exactly one time in the two times I've beaten it, on my first playthrough.

Well, I did get the 999 damage once, I'd say maybe on my 3rd or 4th use of T. Kemper, though I didn't get the PS3 Trophy associated with killing a foe using T. Kemper. Most likely, the enemy was already damaged, so it seems it really has to be entirely T. Kemper damage for it to trigger.

I try to hold out on damaging enemies until T.Kemper is ready at least once per battle, in hopes it will eventually 999 again.

I think the "1 in 2 million something" odds are really just for fun, it's likely better than that

Doesn't the achievement specifically require that T. Kemper kills the monster with his 1 damage attack?

torian

yes.
"Kill an enemy using T. Kemper's basic attack." From the achievement list

1 in two million? Come on lol. I've hit the 999 jack pot at least five or six times, albiet not in the same play through.

I always liked T kemper anyway. He eats up a lot of time so you can build up your attack.

Inzoum

Well, I did end up figuring out the 1-damage T. Kemper trophy thing.

I've played through Episode 1 two times, going for the "Immortal" trophy on the second run, and all in all, I've had T. Kemper's 999 damage attack about 5 times out of what, 40-50 times?

The odds are pretty good, I'd say, only offset by the time needed to re-fill the gauge

You don't seem to understand chance

The odds are one in two million that his big bad will come up

It does not take two million t kemper attacks before it happens

While it can happen multiple times in a row if you are lucky, by the vast majority of people in this thread who didn't even know it was possible, it should tell you the odds are slim.

HappylilElf

I would submit that they are not 1 in 2 million slim.

Tube

Yeah it's nowhere near that

subedii

Personally I think the odds are 1/20. Everything else is based around a D20 roll, and Kemper's attack is sufficiently rare in its success that this would fit. Basically rolling a critical.

Lucky Cynic

Oh wow, I just never heard of someone actually getting it before. Kemper makes a great time sink hen trying to build up a slowly increasing special attack, so maybe in another play through he will tick again.

I had three mimes all down to one hp and used T.Kemper and I got the trophy for it.
