I now know all that I can know in No More Heroes. Technique-wise that is. All of the Lovikov Balls have been found, and all seven of the hidden techniques have been learned. It was a good way to distract myself from grinding up to £250,000. I'm now about 25,000 away from the next title bout. Hopefully the hidden technique that grants a bonus based on rank speeds up the whole cash gathering process.
Actually, the techniques learned in exchange for the Lovikov Balls are pretty useful. Particularly the one that lets you dash if you hold down "B." The ability to move faster than the jog, but more slowly than the motorbike was really handy in homing in on the Lovikov Balls. They're interesting things, those balls, from a technical standpoint.
When you approach a spot on the map that marks one of the balls you won't be able to see the ball. But, as a clue that you're in the right place, a tune that sounds a lot like the Wii menu music will play. The ball doesn't actually show up until you get quite close to the exact spot that's marked on your map.
On the one hand, I wonder if this is just to make the balls harder to find (which can't be the case, because it only delays rather than deters their discovery), or because drawing them once you approach them was easier on the game's processing speed.
Whatever the reason for the balls' appearing only when you're near to them, having collected all of them makes me feel like the game is one step closer to being finished. Also, you can ride your motorbike off of a ramp and into the ocean, but as of right now doing so appears to do nothing except drop Travis and his bike back at the No More Heroes motel.
