You Transcending history and the world, a tale of dudes and souls, eternally cold. We are the king, the starlit eye, the sea Battle for, come on, our journey Battle for Get ready to go, search for my star Deep in the night, bring me my home Expressionite, show me no Show me we'll never stay for long I can't get to the end of your soul You can't hear it all I can't get to the end of your soul You can't hear it all I'm giving my life To love To fight To love you Yeah, yo, what's up dudes alright chat were back war back and Yeah, things have transpired. Sorry about earlier Dragonball Xenoverse 4 isn't the thing that took me down my whole ass computer crashed. Okay. It wasn't like bandai Namco I was about to kill me um for for leaking Dragon Ball Xenoverse 4 um I literally I went into that studio and they're like Max we're here's Xenoverse 4 and I'm like where's Dragon Ball Fighters 2 and they kicked me out I can't believe it you mean 3 what no bitch what did I say listen to the words coming out of my mouth 4 I don't not know what the hell is Xenoverse is but this is the fourth one Anyway, they're trying to silence me. Clearly. Listen. Anyway. Yeah, we got to, we got to talk about the Xbox stuff. Hotel Barcelona hit me up for a sponsor stream a little while back and now they want to do one because they just relaunched the game. Bunch of like big changes and things like that. So that's like a suit of 51 swurry joint. We'll check it out. See what it's like for a little bit. And I really got to get back into Fatal Fury, man. I really got to get back into Geed or Geese, I'm going to have a chance to actually play this bitch at all. So yeah, we have to like check this shit out. Anyway, um, yeah. So I mean, I guess we'll just start off with this because we'll have to fire up some games at some point. So a new Xbox just got announced, not particularly the most exciting thing, considering the timeframe and turmoil that of which the industry just sort of went through. We briefly hovered around it a little bit earlier, but a lot more details have come up. And I'm assuming because GDC is happening very soon that there's a lot of dedicated time to Xbox at GDC. So we're likely going to know a lot more about what the hell is happening in the next week or so around the next week when GDC happens. So what the hell are you talking about? What is this? Let me bring it up. There was not much information, sadly, but I think it's enough to sort of dissect and talk about what it means, the good and the bad of what it means, and also my hopes of what it could be. Not like it really satiates the demand that I personally have, but in terms of bridging the gap between player bases, you know, maybe, just maybe. So check this out. This is literally it. It's called Xbox Project Helix, and this is the only thing there is. very mysterious, you know, seven second long video, Jesus, but, you know, what you hate the logo? Well, the logo isn't the I don't think it is the logo, right? I don't think that is that what you're looking at is the logo in itself. I think it's more about the project and what that's representing, you know? And the more information that comes up over the last like few hours, the more it represents the mixing of two different things, which is the Xbox player base, a console player base, and also PC players. And we've recently had these conversations. I just got a, not that long ago, an Xbox like ROG Ally X. And the whole point of that was like, oh, you know, this thing has Xbox branding all over it. Does that mean that, does that mean it can play Xbox games? That was the first question, dude, every single person had. Unfortunately, no. Unless that Xbox game is made for PC, does this thing have an opportunity to like, you know, fire up an Xbox 360 game or some shit? It does not. It was like, oh, okay. Well, all right, that's interesting. We'll pull up some more of the details so we can talk about it. The official words that have been said from the new CEO and stuff like that, Xbox. Project Helix, not to be, you know, confused with Double Helix, that this could be a. This could be a new. So, and here is the update from the CEO. Great start to the morning, the team Xbox, where we talked about our commitment to the return of Xbox, including Project Helix, the codename for the next generation console. Project Helix will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games. Looking forward to chatting about this more with partners and studios at the, at her first GDC next week. So yeah, this is kind of a big deal. And we've, we've been talking about it. So a computer, yeah, well, yes and yes. Right. Remember that thing we were talking about chat, like the Steam box, when the steam box was announced, and some like high hopes of what this could possibly be because for those that have not bridged the gap of PC gaming, even though PC gaming is getting bigger and bigger and bigger. The concept behind a Steam Box that seemed really interesting to me was that, yeah, Steam OS is great. These things have existed sort of in the past, but will the new Gabe Cube be a console that will really bridge the gap, that will prevent people from having to deal with things where their OS, their operating system, the interface regarding the in-hole thing will sort of ease you away from being a PC enthusiast, you know? People want to play PC games while getting the console experience. And as much as I would say Steam OS and things like that do certainly help, they're not quite there yet, right? They're not quite there yet. People want solutions for PC games to effectively be as plug and play as a console experience. To be real, that just doesn't necessarily exist. We thought they were sort of going to do that with that Xbox ROG Ally thing. And when you get into it, it's like, OK, there's some onboarding. But bro, as soon as you fire up the Xbox ROG Ally, what is one thing that immediately happens and starts taking over everything? Windows updates. Windows updates all over the place, bro, here and there. And it's like, it's doing one thing and it's also running another thing. It's like, oh my. So wait a minute. if I eventually just press this button, there's Windows Explorer. I'm like, oh, okay, so this is just a laptop, pretty much with a cool controller. It's like, that's, I mean, for me, that's fine because I'm always gonna be a PC enthusiast in general, I like being able to run my things, which is why we all hate Windows 11. So when you have the Windows 11 experience like severely compromising everything, that was kind of a problem. Still, what is the best case scenario here? The best case scenario is an affordable, affordable console that bridges the gap of the PC experience with console games, right? That allows people that we all know exist that don't want to have to deal with the PC bullshit and just want to play PC games like they're effectively on a console where your console will make it able to compromise and make adjustments based on the hardware immediately and there will have to be a lot of back-end that fixes that don't get me wrong. Consideration and compatibility and all this kind of stuff, it's like, oh, that sounds like a royal pain in the ass. And I'm like, yeah, it does. It seems like a lot of effort. But has anybody gone, has any big hardware manufacturer put that much effort into their operating system that exclusively is made to do that with all of its compatibility of a bunch of PC games and also console games that has not happened yet dude. So the biggest the biggest deal of this is like when you start talking about Xbox and PC games specifically from the CEOs can you get a system that does that because yeah there's an audience for that and just they're saying to somebody oh just buy a PC I think the more this and this is where this is where push comes to shove I think the more PC-like whatever this next next generation console is, the more windows directly associated, right? The more close it is to PC slash Windows 11 more than anything, the less of a chance it has to make anybody give a shit. And then that comes at the compromise of also price, because the price of making something have that higher level of compatibility to actually run a whole bunch of modern PC games in a pretty decent way. Yeah, that's going to be a big difference, right? That's going to be a big difference. Granted, there are people who are like, that's just a PC though. My dude, these systems have been just PCs since the PlayStation 4 era and the Xbox One era. They've just been PCs. So that's not necessarily a dig at where we are at in the industry. That is just the nature of it, dude. Like all these consoles are just PCs now. They're not doing anything super unique from one to the other. Their controllers do something. They have something that is a little bit better, like quick resume. But still, their functionality and abilities is still completely based on PCs. So it's not like we're looking at cell processors or any wild shit now. These things are doing the same thing. That being said, there's an opportunity for them to bridge that gap. It's just that this is gonna come at the expense of compatibility, man. Like if you're gonna have a console that bridges the gap between Xbox and PC games, like what kind of PC games are we talking? Like is this a steam? Is this just like Windows Store PC games? Like what is happening? We all know that Xbox, Brother Halo's coming out on PlayStation. Like Xbox has almost no interest in being a console exclusive sort of platform anymore. But I think we, based on the way a lot of people were hyping up the game in box and all that kind of stuff that was recently just announced and has not, does not actually exist yet. A lot of people were really hoping for something that will bridge the gap between PC players and like console players and put something all on one platform. Yeah, no, we want that. It seems really hard, but mediocrity isn't gonna be the thing that is going to bring any console up to the standards that we're looking for, like things are gonna have to do some crazy shit. And it's pretty obvious that Microsoft right now is in a spot where their console hardware isn't necessarily blowing everyone's minds because they're putting their games on everything, dude. So they need to have the console that sort of like does these things, man, that is able to pull off this shit, right? They need to have the console that does this. So, yeah, that's kind of my hope of what Project Helix is. The name also makes a lot of sense, like the Helix is an X, I get you, but the whole point of a Helix, like a double Helix, like, is to bridge the gap between two different things and make them feel interchanged, like, yeah, yeah, that's that everything that they're talking about pretty much sounds like the things that we're discussing by merging these two things together, which is the PC audience and the Xbox audience. And it's like, I think I wanted that with the, the rogue ally and it was pretty much a portable PC. Isn't that what a PC is already know? PCs cannot just play, um, like Xbox games and Xbox backwards compatible games as a reminder, like for people like me, one of the coolest things about an Xbox series X, an Xbox series S is how many goddamn games that bitch can play. And it can play a lot, dude, going back to many console generations. There was a huge portion of the Xbox One's life cycle when Xbox really was having to try and they were having to get people on their side before games pass. What were they doing, chat? They were working their butt off of backwards compatibility for 360 and original Xbox games to make it so that, oh wow, they stopped eventually because they leaned into games pass. But they were like, hey, so you know, here's a whole bunch of crazy compatibility going back several years, like going back to the mid 2000s. I still wish they didn't stop. It was clear that their goals went in different directions. But to answer your question, the difference between that and just a PC is that, yeah, with PCs, you technically can play a lot of those games through emulation, no, I get it. But like in an official device that does that shit, where it's like, this plays your PC games, is it gonna play it at the level of a 4090, 5096? No, it's not gonna do that. But that compatibility and figuring out that compatibility is a big deal, right? That's a pretty big deal. So we're asking, I think the idea, what this sets up in my head, is that an Xbox should be something that bridges the gap that makes it so that, hey, they should be the ones handling the crazy-ass compatibility of shit. And maybe we shouldn't, right? Maybe players should not be the ones that are like, ticking this and ticking that. Most people don't want that. Most people don't like that. That are people that are not interested in PC, that are completely fine with console gaming experiences. Don't give a shit about all the little bells and whistles, and ticks, and buttons that are in the options menu. They specifically don't want to deal with that shit. And that's the stuff that's fascinating. It's like, if Microsoft handles that, will it be good? And will they be able to find a way to make that stuff good? So if it's a PC game, how do you think they make an acceptable config for a game? That's exactly what the promotion is. The promotion is that at what level of compatibility can you make this console that will be apparently more technologically capable, have compatibility with a broad spectrum of PC games? Is it going to be everything? Is it going, bitch, I want you to fire up Sonic All-Stars Racing Transform, the PC version. Are they gonna have compatibility for that? No, no, like that's not gonna be there, but still it's like, if they're able to tackle like the last generation or so of like PC games that are relatively big ones and stuff and also offer a baseline median of like compatibility than maybe dude, that sounds hard. Yeah, it does sound hard. It sounds very difficult because you have to start asking questions. Does that work with Steam? Does it work with Epic Game Store? Does it work specifically on Windows 11 like store? Does it work only on Windows Store? These are where, this is where my brain is going when I see this shit. This is immediately where my brain goes, how you can bridge these audiences together and make this shit work. And it's like, yeah, you have to provide a service that doesn't really exist. And something that just gets people on board and you don't have to deal with shit. Sounds complicated, sounds like a big ask. Don't get me wrong, we're not at, I don't think. Bitch, I'll be real. Let's be real. You ain't going to get ahead in any of these industries if you're just doing the exact same shit as everybody else and expecting change, right? Unless you're offering something that makes sense and is like, damn, that sounds really cool. This device is doing something that I've wanted them to do or that I've been asking them to do for a long time, that would be really cool. Is it going to be to be able to deliver on everything? No, but at least promoting something that does something different, that sits on your desk and provides something different is like, all right, that's the whole point of video game systems, man. We've sort of forgotten this because all of our systems have turned into anamorphic blob in our head. They all do the same shit for the most part. So we have to start asking on the back end. It's like, OK, so what is everybody else doing? Well, this pisser tech that's going on at PlayStation is starting to make some strides. It's taken a long time. DLSS stuff that's happening over at Nintendo in cooperation with obviously AMD and NVIDIA, those sort of things are providing software and experiences that the hardware does in the backend. That isn't just sticking in more RAM or sticking in an expansion pack. No, they're figuring out how to make things better over time with upscaling. So it's kind of working. It's kind of like, oh, okay. So this is pretty, I already expect something like that to be happening here if it's hardware, but at the same point it's like that directly benefits compatibility because if you just have a ton of games that are PC games that you're trying to make work on a console and also run the console games, then in what way can you provide the experience to be better for the console games that you had before and also PC games? Starting to talking about really creative upscaling things, if not frame generation or things like that, maybe. I'm just saying maybe. That could be the spot where they find a way to bridge the gap between the users and to give them something that hasn't really exactly been done before. So these are all the hopes, right? This is the hopes of what it could be. Does that interest somebody like me? Not really. I mean for this this feels like it's almost designed for people that aren't for PC gaming, right? Which exists? This is a lot. This is this could be a sizable amount of people that are really interested in this shit So a steam machine for Windows more like a steam machine, but you got a really fucking try like a steam machine that You you don't control any of the compatibility in a steam machine, right? it more like the steam machine does all of that shit for you. And they figure it out. And they figure out the compatibility. And they figure out the interface to make it not just like a steam machine, to make it all curated and solvable. That's a dream. It's a dream. The problems. Now that we're out of our fantasy world, which is the whole thing that we were talking about before. This was the whole thing that we were talking about before. Now the reality sets in. Dudes, how the hell are these guys announcing a new console in this current economic situation? How? Like, there is the PlayStation 5 Pro is like $700. And that's already like, everyone looked at that shit and went, holy moly. I don't know how you produce a console in the next like year or two. Especially considering what just happened over the last couple of days also in this country on top of all the other shit. It's like, my dude, this thing is going to be so expensive. It's going to be insane. There is no chance the gas prices are starting to go up, my dude. Like, I don't know, I don't know how you create something that has that level of compatibility and memory for under $1,000 and $1,000 feels generous now, but feels generous. A cloud device, we don't want that, dude. I don't think people are looking at this stuff being a cloud device as being like interesting. You know? I don't believe that's, I don't believe that's it. like, we've had those things before and it's like convenient and nice, but is it the problem is that the infrastructure of the world does not support that shit, bro. That's for people that live, live near metropolitan cities and shit. The majority, the, the, the, the joshmo asshole that is just sitting here playing this stuff does not have the bandwidth to support PC cloud gaming. Like it just doesn't exist. So, until things get much better, you know, in terms of connectivity between each other, yeah, that could change. But not everybody has access to, like, even 5 megabit download everywhere, not at all, much less upload. Holy crap. So, I don't think that's it. I just don't know how you can release a system in the next couple of years based on everything that's happening and have it be in any way affordable. the whole point of this is that it would have to be affordable. They're going to take a hit. Don't get me wrong. They will take a hit in some way to get like, to adopt their user base, to put people into their store, to buy games, to buy the compatibility, to get their old games, like all that kind of stuff that will happen. But still, I don't even see a reality where that can happen in the next, for next few years. I hope it does and I hope it's like competitive and they have to be competitive because almost all of the popular consoles that have existed in the past have been at the behest of losing money at the start to build a user base to make the money on game sales to make the money on additional sales outside of that memory cards and controllers and all that kind of shit. That's what I eventually makes the money, you know. So that's what I'm thinking. The next darkest aspect of this is that I don't mind this system having AI, quote unquote. You could put AI upscaling all over this bitch. You could. You could make all of the smartest models that NVIDIA and AMD and all these bastards have been making over the years to upscale shit, DLSS, and all this like FSR tech, and this shit is awesome. AI upscaling is godlike, dude. This is literally like saving performance in many ways in the industry. There's a big difference between AI upscaling and generative AI, and also AI bullshit that you have to talk to, and it gives you shitty answers and stuff like that. I don't want language model bullshit in, I don't want co-pilot in a goddamn video game system, dude. I don't want that. So these are the differences when you say like AI. Yeah, to a degree, I'm okay with that because Xbox does need AI upscaling. It does need the ability to do some of this shit. But all this extra language model generative assholery, I get, dude, it's not going to go well. It's going to go extremely bad because historically it has gone extremely bad for a lot of things, you know. And most games that have that stuff is like, oh, now this is going relatively bad. I am trying to create a understanding chat that people see, people learn the word AI and they do not understand that DLSS and AMD FSR is AI upscaling. It is. is a completely different thing than Generative AI as well as a language model AI shit, completely different. So I'm sitting here trying to like, yeah, you need to do this because Switch is doing it and it's working great and PlayStation 5 Pro is doing it and it's finally showing some, it's finally showing some resolve. It's like, damn, these results are pretty good. Pissertek is getting better. Nintendo Pissertek could be getting better too. Either way, I hope that get the co-pilot shit away from it, man. Get all the language model bullshit. I don't want it anywhere on there. I don't want any microphone that we're talking to to have to like address something like that. Like I don't want any of that shit. That gets back into the connect aspect of stuff where you're talking into your controller. I sweet Jesus, man. Hey, Cortana, do something. Copilot Xbox on, like, dude, you are literally repeating the Kinect shit. It would literally be repeating the Xbox One era and the shit that people hated about Xbox One. That did not go well. It did not. I don't want my Xbox to be a person doing shit for me and talking to me at like, please, dear God, it has a voice. in all this it's jover it's officially jover it's so jover dude so anyway that's my hopes and dreams but the reality of the situation is that uh what xbox needs and what it has had in the past has been clear since day one and it's a dedication to actually making games building an audience and making an audience of games that people are looking forward to playing um i think it's pretty telling that it's been pretty hard for Xbox to make games. They made a few, they made some, but it's been fairly difficult for this company to like produce and make games and keep the company and keep the companies that are making the games like a float. Clearly like making, buying everybody didn't necessarily work. And there were some good diamonds in the rough that came out over the last console generation for the pretty decent ones. But a lot of shit was rough, dude. A lot of shit was extremely rough. Games just could not get made. So, just bring back K.I., that's all you got to do. You know how much, if you bring back killer instinct, it's like the moment when Dan got announced for Street Fighter V, right? And to give you an analogy that makes sense, remember when Dan was announced for Street Fighter V and everything changed? It was like, oh, they actually care. Wait a minute, this is not, this game isn't like soulless and they're not just trying to eSportsification the whole thing. Wait a minute, they're actually just doing a fan favorite character for the hell of it? Whoa, this is nuts, man. They would never do that. And then they did and everything that happened after that was all pretty good. It was the sign of them like turning. It was the shift that needed to happen. So yeah, who makes the new KI? I know several people that would really like to. I'm pretty sure we all know several devs that would love the opportunity to probably do that shit. I don't think it's that weird to go out there and look around the environment at the people that have either made this shit before or could be potentials to make new ones. I'm just saying all we got to do is now K I know shut up K dash A I know oh god. No, I don't like it. This is the world where Aria gets control. No! Shut up, chat! I don't like talking to you anymore. Damn, Monkey-Paw Curl. Bullshit. K.A.I. Ugh! Hey, Jago! Soap! Boot-up K.A.I. All right, bro. Oh my god, dude. What are you drinking? Blood. Orcoza, thank you. Dread Helsing, BimaFlo, Donovitch, ferox Le I see I the ray gun gaming ADHD Zelpiko and Perian Shinwa Bob. Thanks for the five looks like we won't say Xbox and PC and game trailers anymore We'll just say whatever a helix's final name is. Yeah, but everything end up calling it. I Don't know it already has an Xbox logo down there. You see it. There's already a freaking X my dude literally is an X Here's the thing, what do I actually get excited for this outside of the opportunity of like maybe Microsoft growing a brain and making games that people want to play? It's just going to say it like the level of backwards compatibility could be really cool. What it does for older games could be really cool. That's going to take curation and again, Again, Chad, the reason this did not work out in the late 2010s, the reason why this stuff didn't, they stopped doing this is because it was expensive. They were having to spend money on this shit, dude. All this backwards compatibility with Xbox 360 games, 360 games looking better, running better, Xbox One games, I'm sorry, OG Xbox games, getting like upscaling and like running way better. And like, like there were several OG Xbox games that legit run in 1080p and 4K now. It was godlike, dude. And they were getting huge, like they were, they called them like expansion packs. These expansion packs came out and they were like, here's a bunch of old Xbox games and bam, here they are. And it's like, this is really neat. Is it appealing to everybody? No, but this is actually very cool. This honestly is the most important thing of Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X to me. It's like one of the only unique things of the system is how cool backwards compatibility is for it. So yeah, I'm fascinated. Straight up, I'm fascinated by what that means for Xbox One games, for Xbox Series X and S games. I'm fascinated by what that means for overall compatibility across the board. And why did they stop? Fair question. Why did they stop? Because all their budget and money started going into a very specific thing, chat. And that was Game Pass. Xbox Game Pass was all about getting exclusives for Game Pass, which were expensive. Game Pass like Xbox now and it comes out of the things later. They paid a shit ton To make those games available on game pass day one and also buy studios to make the games for game pass So that's where the majority of their budget went and then obviously Multi-billion-dollar Activision Blizzard deals and shit, right? But that was still at the benefit of making game pass like a Better value and more things that you could get with it. There's more people will buy it like that That was what their thought process was of course But now it's got more expensive, you know. Now it's not necessarily a great deal anymore as much as it is a service. So yeah, you know, yeah, backwards compatibility is more PR and goodwill. No, no, no, yeah, you have to, you have to PR and goodwill the shit out of people right now, dude. Based on what just happened to the company, you literally have to PR and goodwill the shit out of people to do something different. Like that's the way this shit has always worked until lately, where everything is just getting worse. That is the way this shit has always worked is that you have to provide a service or a device that does something better than the others. I mean, yeah. Yeah. That's the way this works. Can they go back to making 10 gigabyte games? I mean, they could. They just won't look as good. We haven't solve that shit yet, bro. Like, there, there was some hopeful solutions for that shit and Unreal Engine 5, it did not exactly pan out entirely. I'm having the data be less. Marathon's 18 gigs kind of looks like it. I mean, the art style of the game kind of looks like it. Based on this, what I've seen so far. Yeah, compression magic hasn't gotten that amazing yet. It's gotten a lot better as time has gone on but that's what it is. I want one terabyte games chat. I want Final Fantasy 7 remake part 3 to come out and that shit ships with an NVMe drive. It ships with a 500 gigabyte NVMe drive if the game already installed. Hell yeah bro and you just like stick that shit in there. Comes with a guide on how to open up your PlayStation 5. Holy shit. Wow. Sorry, not $500, $500 gigabyte, $500 gigabyte NVMe stick, because the game's gonna be like 400 gigs, dude. Mother of God. It's gonna be so big. I know the day. That's not happening. It's not happening. show up on a very thick disk. It'll show up on a thick disk that you have to feed to your system like it's a pizza. Full circle to cartridges. Yeah. Yeah. MGS2 master. Thank you very much, dude. Chat, I did fire up. I did actually download Warzone on my PC in anticipation of the Blackout update next week. And, um, yeah, dude, I got predator. He's working. He doesn't have to go to like black ops six or whatever the hell it is. And he's still selectable in there. So yeah, my predator skin is still good. It'll still be compatible, uh, with that game. So I can't wait, dude. I can't wait. We're going to have, I'm going to literally have the dudes over like next Thursday or whatever it is, whatever it launches. I'm going to have the dudes over and we're all going to land it up. I'm going to get multiple cameras on this camera. I'm gonna have the room camera. I'm gonna put like a webcam over this shit over here. And we'll literally land this bitch up and see how it goes. I'm very much looking forward to it. Everything about that game looks fucking awesome. So yeah. Yeah, well, I'll order a pizza for you, champ. Was Blackout that good in Blackouts 4? Blackout was my favorite thing, one of my favorite multiplayer things I have played in the past 15 years, dude, of like Call of Duty shit, like no joke. Blackout was incredibly fun, incredibly fun, dude. It was my first BR, don't get me wrong, but I have just not been engaged by any other battle royale since. They just don't do it for me. You don't play online, but Blackout had you hooked. It was an old school BR, it was very punishing, You know, but God damn man, what a mode. I could not stop playing that shit, dude. Fortnite win, wait till the cloud shows up, come on. Jesus. Have you tried RedSec? Everyone that I've said, everyone that I've heard that has talked about RedSec, I said that RedSec is about as close to blackout as you possibly can be, but it lacks the charm. Like it has a lot of the functionality about like ground loot and all that kind of stuff. But it does not it does not actually like really play out and have the fun factor something about it so I don't know I have not had a chance to oh it has loadouts that doesn't seem nice. Star Knight thanks for the 20 dude I've been loving the post I've been making about playing Astro Ball with Ripley can you please tell us more about your experience it's been really wholesome to see. Yeah Red Sex Fine it's just no blackout that's what I've heard and watch people play it and I'm like, no one's really into it. I'm like, weird. Yeah, me and Ripley are at like 99% on Astro Bot. We got to the end of the game and it unlocked a whole bunch more bots to find. We found like 301 bots so far and all the puzzle pieces. We just did the final, I have to do the final puzzle piece with her, but it's pretty much been a game where I sit down and play it and then she, I get like a new thing and she She plays it and she's able to finish some levels. She does a pretty good job. That game is magical, I think. That game tricks me into thinking that PlayStation loves its franchises. It tricks me. It does a very good job at it, too. Yeah. That's all I got to say. that you play it and you feel PlayStation magic. You feel that like God damn, there's really nothing, nothing out here like PlayStation. And then like the reality sets in when you're not playing the game, you're like, God damn PlayStation, dude. Fuck. But when I play that shit, it seems like it feels like PlayStation magic, dude. And I, I have to give Astro bought a ton of credit wire. Here's where I think it actually deserves a game of the year. It maybe does the little things better than almost any game, like straight up. I honestly think it does some of the little things even better than games that I've played like Mario Odyssey and shit, even a little bit better than Donkey Kong. What do you mean by the little things? I mean like direct feedback loops, you know? Like really fascinating feedback loops of how the character engages and interacts, the sound you get, the feel in the controller, how the controller directly responds to all that kind of stuff, like how all of that happens. Like it feels like they gave a shit so much. Like everything has a very distinct feel. There's honestly only one part of the game that I think is like not good. And it's almost like they knew because you almost never do it. And it's the monkey gimmick. There's a there's a monkey grabbing ledge gimmick that sucks. And it's just like it doesn't respond in the way you think it does or works in the way you think it should. If this monkey thing sucks, bro, not the monkey clap, but like the grab and the grab and like this just sucks. Compared to the rest, dude, everything else is like 99 percent of the game is godlike is godlike. And the entire game is built on a premise of gimmicks. Well, point is gimmicks. Every time you go to a certain place, you don't just do the same one thing over and over again. gives you a new gimmick that you can mess around with and that gimmick comes down to like unique PlayStation things throw Kratos' axe shoot the guns from uncharted like all these kind of things which is really cool um but they're limited but in general like the normal gimmicks are so charming they're so cool like every time I get like the frog punches Ripley's like ooh let me play and she just sits here and punches the shit out of everything and all this stuff is flying all over the place particle effects and things and you go and you run on these things and they feel tactile it's like damn dude this game makes me feel like a god damn kid again it really does so that's where I think that game deserves all of its flowers my dude like it's so in terms of it being an actual video game and the whole point of what video games are going back to like the 80s and shit it does very well shockingly is a ridiculous amount of effort and emphatic enthusiasm for everything that came before it. So I really like it. I think it's fun. It wasn't a game where it's just like, oh Ripley just likes this, you know? So we're just going to run through and I'm going to beat it with her. My dude, we literally found everyone. We found every fucking bot. Now I'm in like the final moments of the game where we're trying to discover and explore the last like 15. We found everything. So and it was it was a it's we now play games with it because, dude, straight up. I'm not a collectathon kind of person. I don't like that shit in platforming games. Do I need to get everything? No, let me just beat it. I'm not. However. When you're collecting stars, which is what you're doing, The bots are just stars in Astro Bot. Bro, when you're tangibly collecting bots, AKA stars, and they have personality, they are like references and PlayStation history, and you collect them and they all go back to your planet, and then they do things for you on your planet. It's like, oh, I am seeing a tangible growth here instead of just getting access to new areas, which is the Mario 64 aspect. No, I'm seeing a tangible growth. Like my community gets bigger. All the people that I know and all the references of games just begins to grow and grow and grow. So you literally see it growing in size and stuff like that. And like the cultivation of all of those characters, all of those references, all of those, that feels so satisfying. Holy shit. It makes me wanna grab everyone, like everything. And every time there's like a game that Ripley sees, like who's that from? Like I don't know or that that person's from this they're from that with that game about and then it's like yeah This is an uncharted game. It's about treasure hunting and she's like oh Like it was it was genuinely really cool. It was really cool So I like it man. I think that aspect of the game is like Extremely neat and then you have to like you get all this customization and stuff you get all these costumes if your question is What is Ripley's favorite bot? She likes the Spider-Man bot at the top of the PlayStation. Spider-Man guys hang out on top of the PlayStation, you know, as it's being put together. So she likes Spider-Man. But I'm not lying when I said, when I came into the room and she was dressed as a blood-borne hunter, messing with Cloud as Cloud was omnislashing her as a blood-borne hunter. I walked into the room and she was doing that and she continued to do it for a few minutes. And I was like, I'm like, Jessica, are you seeing this? And she always, she always has known that like cloud is like dad's favorite character. So she always, she's like, where's the bot with the green eyes and the spiky hair? She knows, like she gets it. So even she is, she is definitely like engaged by like cloud in some way. Where's the guy with the green green eyes and the spiky hair? I can't find him. And then he does the Omni Slush. He's like, yeah. Cool. This is cool. I haven't found Sephiroth yet. We have not we have not discovered Sephiroth yet. So I have to eventually find that. Um, anyway, she's already playing Poca Pia, Poca Pia, whatever the heck that name is. Pick a Poca Pia, Poca Pia. They're already my wife and J.J. are already playing it. Is there a Mega Man? No, nothing yet. Anywhere the clouds can now there's you only wear like first party skins for the most part There's a whole bunch of demon soul stuff all over the place in it too. We found the girls of you guys Those guys are really early. Yeah um Yeah, no astro box of joy I think it's just like I honestly feel that like Like this is just a love letter to games Is really what it feels like and even all the others very few stages that I didn't find to be any fun You know like there's a shit ton of levels and all of them are just ridiculously fun man so much fun I don't get it Those are just so much fun all the bosses. It's not a super challenging game There are some challenging levels, but it's just like in an enjoyable ride. I'm having such a good time Oh, the music is cod-like man. The music is so good Holy shit music's amazing talking about astro bot. I'm playing it for the first time with my daughter Yeah, the challenge levels are good. The X-square triangle circle, yeah. It's that game feels like something that PlayStation has been straight up missing for a long time since like the PS1 era. No shit. I feel like Astro Bot fills a gap that that has been pretty missing in In PlayStation sad dad library, which has been around for a while Yeah, dude like since literally the ps1 something that really hits home like in a crash bandicoot kind of way Yeah Yeah, a little big planet did to a certain degree a Little big planets were more of like a make-your-adventure sort of game instead of going on an adventure, right? Anyway You're right, Max. Everything you said is correct. It's time to shut the studio down. I thought Team Asopi was a bunch of Europeans. Chat, are they a bunch of... I think it was produced by a different sides of Sony, but the developers, Team Asopi, is all in Japan. It's like a Japanese dev studio. I was like, whoa, are these sort of ex-team, what's it called? what's it called? Sony Japan guys? Japan Studio devs? I'm wondering. Is it X Japan Studio? It used to be Japan Studio. Shocking. Shocking. Shocking. I mean, it's amazing. It's amazing. It deserves all of its flowers that it got. It deserves all of it. Some apescape guys are still there. That's why apescape, which is not even a first party PlayStation game gets as much love and reverence. There's a lot to Ape Escape in that game, which is also very fun and very cute, even as somebody that didn't play Ape Escape. That's a very fun level. Yeah, Pat-upon is all over it. Yeah, all these PSP games and shit. Ape Escape is owned by Sony, but it's a Konami game, right? That's a Kojima joint. You know, Cram, what's up, dude? It's Sony, really. Why was there a mixture of Kojima and Apen? Why did that happen? Was it a Kojima game made by Sony? Thinkin' Monkey Ball? No, no, no. He just collaborated. Oh, okay. because it was funny. Okay. Yeah, I thought it was a Konami game. Legit. Yeah, R.A. 9 is very fun, Grimm. It's a fun game. It's weird that Sony is obviously doing better at the moment, but both PlayStation and Microsoft in terms of their software output are going through similar issues right now, like where they were buying all this shit out and doing all this stuff for the big buck and it's not exactly working out. So Microsoft has very much lost their software identity in terms of like what they provide and what people like over the years. And now it's starting to happen because of all like the hero shooter-ness and I'm sorry all of the games as a service-ness and Sony for a while now. Yeah, they have a strong 2026, but I think in totality of this PlayStation generation Rain nowhere close to what the ps4 was man and nowhere close to like the amount of crazy first-party shit No, we're close And it's not like I like I said Sony's doing way better. Don't get me wrong. Sony is doing way better It's just in the two big Bads There's been an issue of them trying to like find what makes them them and it isn't your console dude It's your games, right? It's always been your games where third party has been carrying both of these guys like quite a bit I mean if we push really wants to come to shove chat If it wasn't for fucking Minecraft Roblox and fortnight these systems wouldn't be doing good at all Like they're practically carrying them I don't like it either so So way better, not a good way of putting it. It's just because Microsoft is doing so bad. GTA, that shit ain't out yet, dude. That shit is not out yet. But yeah, GTA is always gonna be there. GTA has been assisting the industry since like PS3, you know? Nintendo is the only one not being carried by them. I mean, Nintendo is like a head for the most part for the most part because they just have been unmanipulated by anything in making games, making games specifically for their audience. They're just doing it, dude. And here's the thing that that has been faltered a little bit with the Switch 2. The Switch 2 hasn't had the most powerful first year. It's been pretty good. But like their games aren't as large scale. So they, there's a reason why they are as cocky and as expensive as they are and it's because they've just been committed to it. They've had the money to be committed to it for a long time. They don't need to get you on their side, you're eventually going to go over, you know. Yeah, this also relates to PlayStation dropping first party PC support. It does. Damn, that could be directly related to this shit dude. Right? Chat? I think it's kind of this is that convenient where Xbox is like our next console generation is all about Xbox and PC games And then Sony is like just a couple days ago not done directly, but like heavily rumored Sony's like hey no more PC games Hey hey No way it isn't a factor. I mean, they must have they must know like behind the scenes what Xbox's plan was right They must know so I mean All of a sudden your Xbox your Xbox branded console is Playing all your PC games and shit. I mean chat your your Sony PC games chat I literally turned on my Xbox ROG Ally X and I downloaded God of War and I was playing God of War at like 30 FPS I was playing God of War at 720p on an Xbox console. I pressed the Xbox button and the Xbox thing popped up. God and Kratos is running around. Maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe, maybe, maybe. I don't know. I'm not saying it's a direct confirmation of it, especially if moving forward into the future, they're really leaning into more PC game compatibility. I mean, yeah. Who knows? You did this. It was that video. Sorry. I thought I thought it was a novel effort. I took Spider Man. Yeah, token safe because it's a multiplayer game. I don't think Sony's gonna relegate after Helldivers Sony's gonna relegate anything specifically to just console in terms of multiplayer games that you need to get as many people on board as possible. No con is staying on PC. It's coming out on PC, bro. Um, but I fired up Spider-Man, big-ass first party Sony game on my Xbox, ROG, LIX, and it was like, damn, this is crazy. Back in the day, I'd have to wait for a, uh, I don't have to wait for the BLEEM cast. Not doing cross-play for fighting games and suicide these days. Not doing cross-play almost for any multiplayer game is suicide these days, And it's not like, how did it work before? Before you didn't have as many options. You just have way too many options now. We're gonna get into Hotel Barcelona in a second shot, don't worry. But yeah, there are so many options of good running online fighting games that have cross play and shit and all these things that compared to 10 years ago or even five years ago, there's just so much more. So it's not like, oh, this game I'm kind of excited about but I can't play with anybody. Well, I'm going to go to play the game that I know I'm always going to get matches. OK. All right, that might be a fun little jaunt. It might be like, oh, let me just check this out for a second, but then I'm eventually going to go back to my game that I know works. Yeah. This is why Fortnite dominated everything. This is why these things sort of crushed and destroyed everything. They are out here trying to establish themselves for new games in the industry, like new big games as service games. And it's hard to compete because the big few the big few for a reason. People have thousands of hours and thousands of dollars invested into their accounts in all of these other games. It's tough. They're too big. Black hole games, yeah. So, as Wolverine and console exclusive, it's not directly confirmed yet, but yes, pretty much. I think like the last big PC PlayStation game might be like Death Stranding too. Talk about the new steam machine factors into this. I mean, it doesn't because they're not even going to make that many of that thing, dude. Like Steam isn't doing it to compete, but that's the thing we had to learn. The question behind what is Valve going to be doing with their hardware is that does Valve want to compete with the consoles? Do they have any interest in actually competing? No. It's a novelty item, dude. It's a novelty item similar to like the Steam Deck. They are literally novelty items. They're not here to like shake up the entire industry, they're just doing a thing that seems like it provides a pretty cool idea, but are they iPhoneing it? No. No, they have no interest in doing that. And it's because as a company, that's just not how they operate, dude. They have a cool little convenient device that they would like to bring to a few people and they know that like a few people will buy it. It's a little niche thing, you know? That was why it was a question. It was a question of, oh, is Valve getting into the console market with an actual device that bridges the gap between console and that consoleizes PC games? Are they doing that? No. They're not. It just runs SteamOS though. SteamDead did change things. Right. No, no, no. It definitely paved the way for devices like that to exist. But, bro, in the grand scheme of things, do these devices sell nearly as much as like even the less popular consoles, no, they don't. They're providing like a cool service. The Switch is the thing that did that, yeah. That's why it's literally why it's not subsidized, yeah. They don't have to appeal to shell holders. That's why they're not making a billion of them. That's why it sells out all the time where they're just like, we're just not making that many. Okay, shit, okay. Anyway, it's interesting. Right a weird part of the industry right now, you know? Right a weird part. Steam Deck sold 3 million while the Vita considered a failure sold 11. I mean, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Like it doesn't even, the sales of these like not switch handhelds, PC handhelds, isn't anywhere close to that of even the systems that failed. They're not trying to be that. PS6 will cost $800. No, we're not thinking about the PS6 anytime soon, dude. No, no, no, no, no, we're not there PS6 and happening anytime soon They were they just said that too Yeah, there's big production and then there's Like a Nintendo launch like a launch of a big system like an Xbox or a PlayStation PlayStation, there's a shit ton. Yeah, and to be real, the Xbox Helix probably won't be a thing for a while either. It might not be a thing till like 2028. PSSR dude, I still think I honestly think and granted not everyone gets to enjoy this, but like the PlayStation 5 Pro and also the Nintendo Switch 2 can literally get better graphically with an update Like the graphics for your games can literally get better With the console update whoa like that and we're watching that happen right now with the PlayStation 5 Pro Which is kind of like you we are literally downloading RAM type shit. It's like Wow Cool, and that'll that'll get better on switch eventually to that'll happen on switch to sorry So it's like Damn what is that? No one's ever done that shit before what is that? No one would dare No one bro. Nobody would dare. That's crazy She brought with she but smooth it's still going brother that shit is still scrolling. Oh My god. Oh my god. Oh my god What the fuck?

Holy mother of god Holy mother you broke it If anybody else subbed earlier. Thank you guys Your dude notification is going to be going on all night. No, no, no, it doesn't it doesn't it It takes the amount of gift subs and makes one notification for it I think maybe not unless I'm trying to get to the front hold on the big tortellini you sure about that streamlabs might be confused Hatless? Hatless, are you in the chat and did you just get a gift sub? Oh my God. It's still going, isn't it? I might be wrong. JD Lightside. Dude, this shit destroyed Streamlabs. Do you have to make a preset for a thousand? Hell no, dude, I would never do that because I don't want to encourage people to have to hit that. that again getting visited is already the highest notification we got the lightning strike and that kind of stuff which is which only goes so high yeah that's what I mean like I wouldn't want to dare make a unique notification to egg on people to do a thousand just if it happens it happens I never thought it would I've never seen it happen holy shit devil fox hold on where are you in here. It's so hard to see. It's so hard to see. Holy shit. Ultra combo stream. Legit Ultra combo stream. Yeah, all right, all right. Chat, we gotta get this thing started. Ultra combo so much. I didn't get the thousands, don't even see an option. I think it only appears on certain platforms. Jesus, Zed or Zero, it's still going. Thank you for the 10 gift subs. Jesus. Uh, thank you again, Chiba. I haven't had a chance to see you in the chat because it's been ridiculously, ridiculously fast. Let's play KI, name of the celebration. Celebration. I have a quick sponsor. Um, the dudes from Hotel Barcelona recently like fixed a whole bunch of stuff and they're like relaunching the game. And I'm like, yeah, cool. And it's like a, like a suit of swary kind of like joint game. And I'm like, seems interesting. And it's a rogue client. I'm like, I'll try it. And they just wanted me to check it out on stream. That's it. So, yeah, they literally, they check out the dock. There was a thing early on where they literally apologized about it having AI stuff in the game, AI bullshit. And they addressed it. And that's like the whole point of this is that it's gone and they're trying to make it right. So, yeah, that's good. It's novel that there's efforts being put into that stuff. That's cool. They did right by it, yep. You dodged that and you lost the lottery? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Let's check this out. Which game? Exclamation Point Hotel Barcelona. If somebody can copy the link in the chat and put it over here. I'll just turn it on. Let's just start it up and see what it's like. All I know is that it's an action roguelite And yeah, I've seen a little bit of it. I imagine it's going to be weird. It's going to be weird made by, like, deadly premonition folks. You know, it's going to be weird. I read it. I'm going to do it. Let me uh chat who is here for the deadly premonition playthrough on giant bomb back in the day Was anybody anybody watch that way back in the day that was that like the dawn of playthroughs my dude Like brinny brinny brad and Jeff and stuff like that my god Oh god, dude. Changed this. Missed that arrow giant bomb. It was way back in the day. That was like 15 years ago, dude. It was so long ago. We're still ultra-cobbling over here. Thank you. And thank you, Zedder0 for the 10. Okay, so this version of the game is called Under New Management. The whole point of it is that it's gone through a revamp. A whole bunch of stuff has changed. They've they've changed aspects of the back end of the game Some things have changed new systems who surprised this familiar place I may not remember the same way guess another worlds have arrived bringing in new collabs check back in and also I believe the game is Discounted right now. I think it has like a 30. Let me just verify. I think it has a 35% discount on steam Yeah Yeah, 35% off right now So exclamation point hotel watch the loaner to check out the game shout-outs to them for sponsoring the stream Let's get into it play a little bit and yeah Gotta get the steep thing out of here You think the VGA had any effect on high guard dude, I think I think VGA It's probably the reason as many people played hide guards as they did right Because think about it, if it just didn't resonate and keep people, that wouldn't have changed regardless of the VGA thing, you know? That wouldn't have changed. So if anything, it probably got way more people playing it than they were initially ever going to get. Did it end up fixing anything? Unfortunately no. that it ended up like changing the situation, unfortunately, no, but it's like, yeah, yeah. Just didn't hit. That just happens now. And that's the scary part of making games that are just entirely free, super free, and hoping that it hits is that you're taking the biggest risk for potentially the biggest reward, right? It is literally a lottery now with all the big games as a service games. taking the biggest possible risk by just jumping in and being like you love it and how much do you love it and you better help people really love it dude like oh my god check out a few things I'll shut up Frame rate limit. Let's do it on. I'm gonna be decent if I just make sense. Alright. I don't know much about the outside of the basic stuff. I've seen a trailer. Let's just get started. I want to see what a run is like. Cleggzilla, thanks for the 5 gift subs dude. Appreciate it. Chillin with special blood of one in the world. Their bodies grow out of some of their powers.

And yet, look how spirited you are, besides... I'm talking over her head! Sorry. Oh Yes, yes Person would never be able to serve as my vessel right you've got great potential in that regard right Wow, what an accolade Yeah Finally make it all the way to this beautiful hotel and I can't even enjoy myself Oh well, at least I still have the breakfast buffet to look forward to. What are you babbling on about? Don't tell me you already forgot about what happened last night. Watch the opening scene? By back! What? I Whoa, whoa, brother There it is again hey is that GPS broken or something no it's working properly We're going through the mountains now, and we keep crossing the state line whenever we hit a curve.

Shut it off, driver! I don't want to hear another word out of that thing! But this is a government-issued navigation system! And besides, I'm a U.S. Marshal, I'm not your driver!

People always say you're not supposed to pick up hitchhikers these days anymore. Cool it, black cat. Don't you know that hitchhiker is a derogatory term? H-h-hitchhiker is, sir? That's right. We live in an age of diversity now. You need to select your words more carefully. You heard of me, bigot asshole. I Is this crowds are public servant isn't just harassment. It's occupational discrimination And I will permit no matter of discrimination I'll shut up all the bigots even if I need to rip them limb from limb because I'm a guardian of justice Justice the sole ethical authority that the human race needs mad fury Better watch your mouth around me unless you want to get banished.

Wait, but how am I supposed to know where to go now? Keep your eyes on the road! You're confused beyond belief. Have you ever seen deadly premonition? Just a question. I've never seen deadly premonitions. Nope. Alright. the the last night we were in the process of escorting that mob character to a hotel bar so this is a swarie game this is a swarie suit a collab game so it's like it's like both of the crazy It's like a double dose of it, dude. It's already very pseudo-like, but it's also swary, so it's like, okay. Expect to be confused. All these games have a very... unique take. and you failed your mission, correct? Look, I'm not disputing anything. I'm just saying I'd like to go check out the breakfast buffet first. After I eat a full breakfast and organize everything in my head, I plan to deliver a full report back to HQ. Oh, there won't be any need for that. What? Just take that mob character's place, eradicate the criminals, and instead... What? But I could never remember. Don't worry. I'll be happy to give you all the help you'll ever need. You don't need me. Why the long face? I'm telling you, this is your big chance. You've volunteered to be their driver. Dammit, Chad! Because I wanted to capture the witch. I'm gonna put myself in the middle of the screen. Well, yes, but... Then what are you hesitating for? Do you think the witch is really here in this hotel? Yes, I'm sure of it. Well, how can I even trust you in the first place? Just nod and say, yes, I'd never lie to you. Only weaklings need to rely on the light. They're playing on PC. It's 35% off on Steam right now. So it's only right that I help you chase her down. But if that pact's so important, why won't you tell me anything about it? Don't make me repeat myself. The rules of the pact prohibit me from speaking about its details. How convenient. Go figure it all done whining. Good. Now hurry up and get dressed so we can begin the killing.

My side? that's right I want you to escape from this place just as much as you do I overheard you talking about destroying the barrier or something let me help you as an accent but how are you going to do that as far as I can tell your body's being sure my two souls right shared more like I've been possessed without my permission which means what are you doing You have a special power, but you're trying to eject it, dear. Your soul link has yet to be completed. If you were to accept that other soul, dear, it would surely grant you greater strength than what you have now. Meaning? The stronger your soul link becomes, the more your power will grow. But then, wouldn't I just be letting him gain full control over my body? No, you own powers to make garments within you, dear. Incredible powers. The pitch is worth a thousand words. Although need you look one of your abilities for free, then you'll see. Why are you in the closet? A lot of people use up all your blood when your specter, blood splatter gauge maxed out to activate a Carnival Awakening? Sure. Maybe we didn't have that before. Unlawed? Allows you to deflect the attacks by guarding and syncing with the enemy attack? Yup. Damage stats. Where's my resources at? Skill tree, closet, Tim the monster. Bitch literally says Tim the monster.

And, I'm not sure how to put it, but I can sense a dark shadow deep inside you. What? Are you really a U.S. Marshal? It's quite hard for me to believe now that I can sense how cruel your heart is. They seem more like a serial killer to me. Um, well... Sorry if I offended you. I can hear people's souls, you know. Desires that not even the people themselves are aware of. Hey, servants, don't listen to a word that woman says. I'm warning you, end the conversation and get out of there as soon as possible. What? But... Don't tell me you're trying to speak to the Dark Shadow inside you right now, aren't you? Whatever are you talking about? Listen to me carefully, Marshall.

I'm at half HP. Brother. Just trying to play it extra safe. Bosterman no healing, just play perfectly, yeah. Okay, back left, block. Back right, dodge. It was not dodge. Retry boss? Let's go! This shit. Shit. That did not get hit! I did not! Look! of all of the god there's a command grab The How did I miss When please God of the of Jacob Baggins. Boy, was he a handful. According to the FBI, he's one of the 39 murders committed over the past 20 years. And 34 of them were baseball related. I managed to capture him once, but then he could be one of the most... Baseball related murders. ...since he escaped into the night. Yes, now it meant that he did possess monstrous strength. Apparently he grew up near a lake in New Jersey and was raised by his mother. Perhaps the landscapes he reminded him of his hometown. What are you talking about? This is America. Baseball fields? Time and dust in this country. But the document stated this baseball field was closed up after an accident happened in here. Right? An accident? One hot summer day. The boy ran off the field in pursuit of the long fly-by and ended up falling into the lake. Apparently, the camp counselors were so busy trying to get lucky with one another that no one ever noticed. Well, you'd be hard-pressed to come up with a more human summertime story than that. I don't see what's so funny about this. The following year, while preparing the field for more baseball, the groundskeeper found a mountain of corpses in the grass. The police claimed the bodies were those of the counselors that abandoned the boy, and the college girls who once seduced him. Clanged? Every last one of their faces had been smashed beyond recognition by a blunt object. Most likely a metal bat. Ever since then, similar serial murders have occurred in that baseball field every several years or so. Intriguing. Perhaps there's some sort of link between that dead boy and this monster. You think that monster's baseball nut came all the way here to avenge the death of a boy whose misfortune simply happened to mirror his own? Yeah, I suppose it's a bit too far-fetched. Not necessarily. The witch is known to abuse powerful emotions like that. Really? Yes. Having faced her twice myself, I know what I'm talking about. Unlocks a new latent ability? Okay. The lower the boss's health becomes, the less damage the boss takes. Oh. God. Remember that's good for me? Axe and handgun. Long peg steakhouse. Bro, is that a chicken? Go to stage 2 for the chain bonus or return to the hotel. I think we should return to the hotel and keep our loot, right? Or do we just run it? We're so low on health. I don't know if I get any. I'm at 5 HP, bro. I should go back. I have a lot of stuff now. I have 5 HP, my dude. Okay, good. It's good. It's that full HP recovery. Ah! Ah! Never listen to the chat again. Never again. Perry HP recovery boost. It allows you to press A to perform a recovery while taking damage midair so you get a Ukemi. Increase the distance of your dodges and aerial dodges. Seems good. Why Triangle to do a heavy launcher? I... Yeah, up Triangle, sorry. Range damage by 10%? Okay, I have stuff to spend. Is he one additional success card when enhancing weapons at the casino? Oh, wow! That... is good. The shotgun. That's kind of huge. Feels huge. Makes enemies affected by your parries drop materials. This is the timing in which you can perform parries. Those were my parries smashed, I'm guessing Y, I'm just succeeding at a parry. Let's try that. Further dodge does seem very good. Ah, crap. I feel like the heartburn's getting worse. Of course it is. You transcend the barrier between life and death every time you're sent back here. Hey, cut it out with the creepy stuff, okay? What's going on with those paintings waste too much time and you may lose your ability to transcend the barrier one day Okay making progress chat for those that don't know what we're playing on it's called Hotel Barcelona It recently recently just got revamped and it's out on steam right now 35% off exclamation point hotel Barcelona the devs were swamp kind enough to sponsor the stream for a bit it's a pseudo slash swery roguelite so you know you can imagine what that's gonna be like unlock abilities this is where this stuff is okay yeah I want to run it again homie I really do run it back the long pig steakhouse so do we have to go through the campground to get to the Steakhouse?

You just like ears my dude, but I can turn bones into ears Wait a minute bones to unlock skills and purchase some weapons. I have a lot of bones bones. Bone necessary to unlock skills. No, this looks like it's costing me ears. It's if I want to get bones. Yeah. We just have to trade four ears. Everything costs ears. So I can't even afford the retry ticket. Okay, okay, okay, I read it wrong. Um... Yeah. I'll accept any number of years you're willing to part with. Um...

No, I didn't really have any plans to play another play through right now. I liked it. I really liked our United. I thought it was really fun, but I Didn't love it enough to want to play through it again The Leon sections were unfortunately really lacking for me Interesting You only okay R9 randomized. I don't know how you do R9 randomized. I don't know if it would work that way If you if you played R9, you know what I mean Right it the game does not really probably would not work with a randomizer There's also not that much to actually randomize like legit get ready uhmm wow okay oh oh oh oh wow and you can pick up after it That's the wrong one, I needed the knockdown. Oh, it's really late. Come on, buddy. Then it's fireball forward, fireball forward kick. Come on, buddy. There we go. Yeah, you have very much delayed timing. Okay. Super delayed. get ready close yeah Wow, do I have to wait? What? If this flips the direction... Oh, okay. Damn, my bitch ass got overheated. And then it's pretty much fireball forward and then double fireball forward with kick, okay. Alright. Maybe that needs the corner? Micro walk forward? Yeah, micro walk forward. Shit! I'm really getting that instead, aren't I? Oh, okay, you can dash forward and buffer it, and that's much easier. But it's got to be fast. Wow! You can do it too fast to get DP. Wow, that is really not wanting to come out. I don't have to manually input deadly rave Wow I don't even have to manually input it It just goes. Huh. That's surprising. I wonder. No, that doesn't grab. So that figured. Okay. Get lost. Interesting. This maybe is a late delay. Any early? Interesting maybe it's really early that's really early that's it when you Launcher into super Aye-aye-aye-aye-aye D.P. Can I special cancel this? Cool Bitch Where's the timing? Cool wait that did not work. Oh, I did the wrong super He gets wild shit from raising storm in the corner cool Wow, that's cool that it gets that from this range Um... And I'd have to do a fireball back. Okay. Cool. Get ready, fight SPG! Close, uh, big, this faints into what? Wait a minute, am I doing that right? What I am? Uh oh, okay. Right. I got to EX cancel it. It's all about BATCH! What? There's so many crazy OGG states. Yeah, if you do the old school buffer, it works pretty well, it works pretty well. Get ready. Close HP faint. Gotcha. Wow, I almost got that in one go. Oh, you jumped you dickhead Must be quicker must be quicker Pretty cool, pretty cool combo. That's the big cash out. Oh, is that really it? It's it. No, there's more. Is that? That's heavy. Gotcha. Gotcha Okay Got it That really combo He's got some timing in here. What the hold? Get lost. It's the hold again, okay. Wow, that's a lot of effing damage, bro. That's a lot of damage. Um... Get ready. Fight, P.G. Whoa! Come on, P.G. They burned, ass-hat. You want me to do the big stomp so it's like big stomp, fireball, this, big stomp again. Big stomp, fireball, this, big stomp, grab, big stomp, fireball, uppercut, big stomp. I think I have to do yeah, it's got to be a combo Bro come on Whoa why is that happening? That's how you do it. Got it. Oh. Shit. Wrong order. Brother. Well, maybe I can do it after the toe tap, right? Yeah, it's giving me a cancel. It's giving me a cancel. But I don't think it... hold now i don't know there's the bounce and then i do i do ex this to that into rev blow super wow jesus bro This is a big one. No! Damn it, bro. That's what I need. That's the timing. Buddy. Okay, this, uh, have to go back forward. Think tough. As God intended. As God intended. Okay. So I can do it after the toe tap, or before. Good to know. Oh, shit. Okay. Oh come on you So that one I have to cancel out of much later much later Oh Shit Too late Wow, that's the DP motion, yeah Fireball's back, it's Fireball forward. It's a new move. Oh, wow. That drunk. Damn it! Am I drunk? Oh! Because it doesn't want me to do the hold stomp. It wants me to do the normal one. That's it. That's what's going on. Okay Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's me do single hit cancel into this that that input's crazy Why would you do the stomp sometimes? Dude, yeah. I did the wrong thing. I didn't hold the right one. Jesus. Oh Bunch and it's showing me holding that I'm not meaning to This one's legit tough I Damn you, Geese Sometimes he is doing the stomp and sometimes he's not I'm really confused by what is causing like this, you know Sometimes he's doing stuff, sometimes he's not. Shit! I think we're that time. Like any holding of any button seems to cause it. Yeah, okay, even if I'm holding punches, it's still doing it. Bodge. Even if I'm holding punches, it's still giving me the stomp from the kick move. Yeah, there it is. There it is. Yeah, I'd like to lay it Well, I don't know if it matters if the stomp kick comes out or not, right? I don't think it does practice this part Weird There it goes there it goes, okay And I need to do that Damn it, that's so many holds. This shit's a lot, chat. Oh Almost had it Oh Why does this dude what what constitutes the stomp coming out right? like What constitutes the goddamn stomp to come out? I'm bling that one a bit. That all dude it's like sometimes he does it This is so confusing. Ignitions, yeah. Okay, so Fireball 4D's too. No. That's counter. Where's the stomp? No, bro, where's the stuff? counters bro. These are all counters. Chat am I drunk? Nightmare geese. There it is. The hell? The heavy and rev versions let you perform a follow up offense on prone opponents after knockdown. Let me? You'll let me? You're letting me. You're letting me. What, you're letting me let me do it come on do it I don't know how I was doing it I don't know how I was doing it and I don't understand Is it proximity based? I'm doing the slipper! of the of the of the of the of the of Oh my god damn you geese Why are you doing that? Son of a bitch This trial was so frustrating, it feels like the game is trying to keep you from doing it a little bit. I'm feeling it. Dude, I'm doing the super and what the shit is happening? What? Is it not a special cancel? It's a juggle? that it isn't a special cancel. Oh my god, it's a... also not working. There we go. Dang dude there's a lot of weird shit in that one. Damn bro there's a lot of weird shit and weird timing in that one cool he's got some dude that half circle back forward motion uh is painful getting it to come out with the right timing and the right buffer it was always getting wrong stuff gotta figure out what the the trick is like there's always a gimmick to it right and what that gimmick might be Geez, man. That one's tough. That one's legit tough. Let's immediately go in and fix this issue that Geese has. Geese has an issue. I'm kind of upset that he does not have an absolute gigantic counter super, you know? Like that shit? I kind of miss that shit. Uh, where is it? The ultra predictable? Yeah. I love these colors of geese chat. This shit's my favorite. The color steam that Capcom gives him is really sick. I'm trying to get that. make his G slightly off white bluish. Yeah, check this out. Maybe a little bit green. Picker? Yeah. Yeah. They don't lean all the way, but they lean like a little bit over here for the white. Which is a big difference. We'll make a big difference. This shit's red as hell, bro. This shit's supposed to be white-ass red. There we go. Much better. Right? Much better. He doesn't have his wrist wrist straps unfortunately Okay Classic the classic yeah, trying to go for his oj look I don't love his His gold drip look I'm not a big fan of it Bob Bob Bob Bob They gave him a full on command grab? Wow. now. That's pretty cool. What's damn, damn, damn. What was they, they said he had a command. um neutral heavy punch neutral punches interesting i wonder if this is like a whiff punisher Wow cool uh do you know the left is a guy with a three on his shirt maybe a signal Fighters 3? Yeah? I think, uh, I mean I think, chat, Capcom vs SNK3 is a guarantee. DIE! Oh my god. Oh my god. Uh, Sompdown does that. Oh, it seems very different but also very fun. This seems pretty goddamn fun. He seems really fun, dude. He has so many different routes and things than he had before. Brother Role It's got to be close H H H HK right of the Jesus! Damn it, brother. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it's not already used that juggle there. Oh, that's not an ideal way of doing it at all. I Shit Shit No, but it doesn't work. Okay, that seems like a pretty good route. Oh, oh, oh. Oh God! Can I do this? It's Southbound California now, it's Miami. I Bro come on No, I don't think I'm getting anything much out of that of the one that is good route is like which one you want to do what it seems like you do record like Right? Wow, that's very expensive for very little damage. RAP POORKIN! Ummm... Whoa, that doesn't work. Maybe it's just a light one. Fireball DP punch stomp after? Yeah, DP punch. Does that, it's different though. You're not chaining, right? So it's like 65% raw, which is nuts. It's like it's a lot. Oh, he has ship pukins. What the hell? He could faint air ship pukin? Wow. He has the rock shit, bro. Wow Wow Wow What? Dude, you can faint into it. It's crazy. Damn, he's so cool. Holy hell, he is so cool. Jesus, dude. Do I need EX to pick up there? I'm mine. He's belligerent. Yeah, I think I need Edox to pick up there. Or not. Maybe it just won't work off the regular one. Really? Interesting, because these you can hold down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think this can be timed. This looks like it can be time Wow You can with with the wreck of stomp I'll fragile come on buddy no that doesn't work it doesn't work there we go that actually worked Oh, dude, not enough. It's not letting me pick up. At all! Interesting. It's locking me out of it. I wonder why that is. I think it needs to be an EX. Nah. A lot of what you're using, you're used to doing a Geese Needs Meter, yeah. This looks like it needs meter. What does the pretzel motion look like? Uh, what is Geese's pretzel motion for, for this? That's, I think I found it. Fireball forward, half circle back forward. Let's find out. Here is the regular one. 128. one twenty-eight three six two four one twenty-eight one fifty-eight Wow 143, what is happening 128 What's the gimmick input half circle back to down for pee yeah yeah wow that's so much more damage does it work off level one 237. Oh it does! Wow! Terri has SPG as well so less damage. I thought that only happened at the final... Does this work? Um, this is the auto combo, right? Light, light, medium, medium. Yeah. Okay, gotcha. It's light, light, or AACCD. Right, AACCD. You also can't cancel into this, which is funny. I Circle back half circle forward K then the usual Circle back a circle for K put a circle back half circle for K Nice! You still can do it! It's dink, dink, dink, dink. Oh, three LKs. That's... okay. That's... you know. Does that happen normally? No, you get an animation. Wow, that's really cool. That's really cool Um How do the cancel activations work in this and you do ex into Yeah, you can right you can do like No You can do ex into level one or level two Oh shit, the X into Super is only on the Street Fighter characters. God damn I've been playing Ken for too long That's right You need a juggle yeah Gotcha I Completely forgot So let's get the fattest ass, right? The stomp you dumb bitch of of the of the edge Okay. You can do EXTP into EXR Fireball and to Red Blow Land, deadly rare super. of the like delayed out of action land super into the XDP into the XFAR ball into rev below land Delay red blood and mine into super. It seems difficult. Yeah, I landed first. I got the double ship Pukins, but it didn't give me the rest. My game's stuttering a bit. Are you guys seeing stuttering in your room? That's easier mid-screen. the Oh That doesn't give me like a juggle point bro, so I gotta do You got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. No, no. Wow And that's the gimmick right there. That's the big shit. This is pretty close to the challenge, right? Shit! Shit! I figured out what it is. The Stomp has to come from them being on the ground. pretty much it. Oh my god, you can delay that. Jesus, brother. That's crazy. That's crazy. You have to hit button, then hit. God damn is that weird. What the damn is that so weird? Oh, that wasn't working. Oh no, no, no, I didn't... I don't even think I cancelled it. I didn't even cancel that one, it wasn't working. Is it because they already used it in the combo? That's it. I already used it in the combo. God damn it. Okay. You can combo after his raging storm during a juggle if they're high enough. Example, counter hit 2-1-4-C into raging storm? 2-1-4-C. Really? Okay. Okay. Bobo bread brookin. That's a shit ton of damage, though. Hmm. damn it that doesn't work I need to do fireball big thing FODGE Got it. Okay. I think I got it. Nope. Oh god. Shit, bro. No, it's because you can't do the same EX move twice in one combo. Am I wrong? I don't think you're allowed to. I'll shut my ass, I'll shut my ass right now. in the air one on the ground these are both oh wait a minute yeah alright no I was right I was right it doesn't work it legit does not work I don't think you get super after this, right? No. It needs to be in a juggle state of some kind. That's the tough part is figuring out how you... So how do you get to the juggle state at the end with him? What combo round do I need to use? It almost has to start from this thing. So the Jucko save you have to end in the DP motion. So. Maybe. I don't know if I'm gonna bounce. And if I did this, there's no, um, yeah, I'm stuck. So that isn't an actual juggle. Is this an opportunity to go into another EX? Is all it really is. Yeah, whiffed completely, close HK faint HP, 214 HP, 214 EX, yeah so maybe you do the EX EXOTG grabs first. I see what you mean. Right, like that. EXOTG grab. Deadly Rave, yeah. Yeah, I can see it even with the... So check this out. I think I got it. Yeah, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Fudge! No! This is a corner thing. Son of a bitch. It's a corner only thing. Okay, good to know. Not bad. like that yeah pretty big cash out right pretty big cash out so that's like like what? 660? We did the mid-screen one. Son of a bitch. Ken would dream for that kind of damage. Really? Got it. This is just me being lazy. Son of a bitch! Pretty much after that juggle I'd want to do super, you know? And then I could just do... 220? 30 more damage! It's 30 more damage. That is really good! Holy mother of God, dude! This bitch is cracking 550! Wow! That's big ass damage! Does he get anything off of lights? I'd imagine not, right? Like, probably just get. you know. Like heavy faint light into special. Um, no, more like light starter, right? Like Ken can do crouching, crouching short, crouching jab, like EX Tatsu, uh, kark like faint into stuff, you know? So I don't, I don't know if he gets anything off of lights. I don't I don't think any of his bullshit is fast enough. Yeah, yeah, it's not. It's not. How much plus are you here? You're plus two. Good. That's so tough. That is so much god damn damage for 37% at a level 1 off of a jump in bro. dude this is gonna work Wow. Oh, okay. And there you go. Now that's starting to make sense. Now it's starting to make sense. Still mega good damage. Holy crap. Like super good. The only time you're getting the fattest, like the biggest damage he's got. is out of this shit buddy pretty cool Wow! Ha ha ha ha. Whoa. Wow. Whoa. It does work from mid screen really easily. 659. Wow. Whoa. That isn't even with counter hit. What the hell is this counter hit, man? Probably that, or... I'm trying to see maybe it's got to be wild punish. Yeah, yeah, it's too wild punish. 97 damage while punished 86. Oh my god dude war crime-ass character Over for you Six eighty seven we can faint bash faint other stuff on counter hit So not wild punish Six eighty seven with SBG defense. Yeah So, generate close D into faint 6, 6 into close C. Generate close D. I mean that's already working. Close D, uh... You know, it's still working. Trying to get more, you know? Trying to get even more out of this shit. Counting it close D into faint, 6-6 close C. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh shit, it takes a little bit of delay. bro bro Bro! That's a lot of damage. Yeah, actually have a lot of time, you know. Wow. Wow. Make it with deadly rave. Yeah, let's try. That the raven is Um, I thought it was the latest ever so bit Double shipper pin So you can see after D is that not what you're supposed to do. Can I right close D into faint 66 plus C? Yeah. Damn bro damn bro Yeah This game kind of looks good visually, or it might just be the stream quality. Uh, this game looks nice. It always has. I've always liked the art style. This takes some getting used to. Pitch! Oh, three light kicks. God damn it. Haha Partial bread labor Not this game's player, but they're playing it. I Get matches in this faster than I do Tekken usually Wow! Jesus Christ, that's so much damage for a level 1. I'm not even doing the hard shit, dude, that's so much damage for a level 1. Good lord! Brother, come on, you can do it. Um, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Emotions during raising storm as an anti-air leads to juggles and OTG combos, so they give you extra juggle points What is it have circle back after come back down forward What's the input What's the shortcut half circle back half circle back is it forward or down forward Up forward 284 You get more damage if you do 214 of the of the of the exotg grab there OK I think I see what you mean of the of the Oh Mama Mama my god Dude I can even get more out of that check this out I get a little bit more Jesus dude this character is nuts this character is nuts You can do so much shit Come on Bitch of the no SPG super there, why? Ah, if I... oh, damn, I can get even more! I can legit get more! Damn it, I couldn't get more! that doesn't work they let you combo into this shit probably not no no no no um of 364 374 I did the bad one of the counter hit That's not enough! Not done yet! That'd be really close! dude this is SPG damage 641 my god Shit. Is that Neo-Deathly Rave? Really do more or less than this. Bitch, it's comparable. It's legit comparable. That's what's insane. Wow. The other wave does look cool, I agree. Man, cancel lightning some, then cancel to OTG grab. Yeah, sure, but you can't do it off of this, right? work off this. If I do. No, I don't think I get anything there. What the- Wow, so much shit. You're gonna throw so much shit out at him. Cancel lightning sump and cancel into OTG grab. So where do you set up the lightning sump with? Because I know about that. I know about this. Shit. Oh, the problem is that it doesn't work for mid-screen, it works on the corner. of the death of death of and I may lose that. I think I can do fireball there. BITCH! WAH! This is such a lab monster character. I love it, dude. This is gonna do a lot. Kraken 683 now. Holy shit. Holy shit. 647. It's a little bit less, right? It's a little bit less, but god damn dude! God damn! Not as a cancel, uh, not all as cancels, not lengths. Okay, I see what you mean. So you I like run forward like Oh shit to geese chill Is this the one we have to be a little bit closer Fudge, dude! Getting that micro walk forward with half circle back forward is tough. Holy shit. Oh, they don't get... Wait. Yeah, he has to do... That's so cool. He has to do shippuken from a jump forward. The jump back has to be EX, similar to rock. You can do EX or DG grab right after you don't have to delay it. Let me try Try this. It's Launcher. Buddy. Okay! Was I just drunk? I didn't hold it down I had to hold it down like a big dumb bitch this is pretty cool right this is pretty cool only if you hold the HK follow-up okay so that that has to be a link and not a chain after you get this shit Wow dude, come on. Pretty sick dude. You can cancel into it, not delay it. Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright. Here we go, here we go. Really cool. This is a big combo. It's over for you. 681. Right around there is about the most we're getting right now, you know? It's right about the most we're getting. But still, it's hella good. And that all things considered doesn't use that much, like... Pitch! Man, the pacing of these hits. Yeah Yeah Yeah that deadly rave is great because it's really dropping the SPG gauge as well 600 damage practically At like 40% usage in one bar is nuts. As nuts, it's so good. That's so good. Is EX full body? Or is it just mids? This is mids and lows. This is highs. Is this everything? Or is it just mids? Um... how do I get you to... The attack Play Just bids okay This is not working. What am I doing wrong here? 125 frames, right? Can you decide a button for play recording? Ahhhh, god damn it. Do I? Hmm. Gonna sign a button after damage or guard. Weird. You would think it would just play after you press play. Versus recording this play. Countdown 1, 2. It's very confused. This is not working the way I think it would. Funny enough. Usually the right stick button on the joystick there it is yeah I can just do that I have an RS button I wonder what you do here shit Shit. FWAD. FWAD. Shit! Shit! Sleep well. I need to do immediate grab perceptible Wow. Wow. Wow. Oh Man oh man He's a shit Yeah, hard scaling because it's a counter. Yeah I have to hold it dude Jesus Christ of the daily rate of stuff but it's it's really fun after a member That was the auto one crap crap that was the auto one perceptible I want it. Damn it, it just didn't take him out of SPG. Shit. Shit. Damn it! It just didn't take him out of SPG! Shit! Shit! Yeah, it's cool that deadly rave cancel is back. It is. I always forget what the hell the manual input is for Raging Storm. I think it's Fireball forward, half circle back down forward. of the two sixty one two eighty four yeah it is Yeah, that's pretty easy for a catcom. For a Capcom brain, I like that, you know. Pretty good. Wow! Wow, that looks devastating as shit, dude! 683? Bro, his manual supers do a fuckload of damage. Oh my god! They do so much! My bitch hasn't even done the good shit. Holy hell! Oh my god, what is it the other way? Fireball forward, half circle back, down forward. Fireball forward, half circle back, down forward. launcher into pretzel storm? like that. And I could probably OTG there. I'm assuming you just stomp them or OTG. Goddamn dude. Oh, shit. Oh my god. Wow, dude. Wow that is so cool that is so cool dude holy moly I Damn you can really push that shit you can really push it Yeah, I have to stand still immediately. Oof man, combo trials here. Fludge. watch much later than I think it is much later Ha ha ha ha! However, um, no, if that doesn't work, I think I'm screwed. Right? Do another 2-1-4 C after the first one in the corner. Okay, it's a cancel, it's a link, sorry. Oh my god, it's all the time in the world Wow, bro Wow I'm messing up the timing, bro. Terry's going to the moon. Cool Nah, never ever! Um, you just want to end this normally, right? Like Fireballback. One of those. Oh, that does more. Wow. It's so neat that the manual combos give you shit. So cool. No, I have to end it differently. I gotta end it differently, dude. Yeah, there you go. There you go. Right. There you go. That one's cool, but it isn't like the premium one, you know? The premium one is getting both his level ones in the combo together. That shit's amazing, man. Wow, dude! Geese is so... Goddamn cool. Like, he's so cool. Kind of like mind-blowingly cool. They really... They really did a number on this guy, man. Like, he's got so much shit. I think I have to do this. of the the the the the the I Get it high enough I'm asking it up Where do you exit Man. Yeah, I see. I see the vision. Oh, sometimes it just don't hit. That one must not be the manual one then, right? See the vision? I see it. There we go. Oh no, this is so cool. Oh God. This probably only works after the level two Jesus Christ, bro Geez us that is so cool. How neat is this shit? it. Um, man. You definitely don't get that after a level one. If you do, this is amazing. No, no, no, no, no, no, too much. That goes too far. We're breaking limits, you know. some very neat shit here dude Yeah, that one you can only do I think level three, right? I'm a little three Geez man Yeah, I run out I run out No, this is actually pretty slow, funny. of so much god damn damage did so much god damn damage uh what a cool guy seriously what cool Jesus, such a cool guy. You get anything neat after this? Right, like... I don't think you do. I don't think I get anything. Eat it! Man. Yeah, it's like Rock has the same thing where his double wrap hook in the corner doesn't lead to a lot. Oh, not a whole bunch? That sucks! How do you feel about Geese in every fighting game, especially being a guest in Tekken 7? Any difference? Ah, no, he's a lot different. In fact, I loved Geese in KOF 14. He's so much fun. And I really didn't like him in KOF 15. I just mixed up around it and enjoyed it. And this game, he seems mad fun. 214. Yeah, this launch is unhit. Right. Wow. Wow. Oh Very cool works midscreen as well If you dash if you dash twice into OTG So, okay, so I have to do the manual there. What? Oh, I have to let the dash rock. No, no, no, no. Am I getting it wrong? I think I'm getting it wrong. two full dashes I have to do the uh I'm gonna do the uh the shortcut dash Jesus Christ Okay, man. So slow. So goddamn slow. see if I can actually buffer this hold on is that all this one's very specific this one's tough Yeah, I see it. I see it. It's just weird. I don't know if it's necessarily worth it. a lot you know but it's cool so much shit no Yeah. of the the the the the even that's really need They really cooked with geese dude. They really did. There's just so many options. There's so many goddamn options. That has to work. It does work. Okay. He's loose as fuck. He really is. In the best way. Stompin' on shit. Come on bitch Oh my god. These are really good in the corner. I think I'm doing the full combo there Jesus Man, I gotta get my brain around this. Random counter hit 50%. Just a random ass counter hit, dude. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. He's just awesome. You can car cancel 4D into either of his command grabs. Bro. I one bitch. This is the combo for this. I won't let you get hit by the camera I won't let you get hit by the camera Damn it! Wait a minute, that should have worked! Maybe only one command grab per? I think it's only one command grab per I won't let you get hit by the camera So little damage. Jesus. So little damage. Yeah, you don't get much after that. Not much. I think you only get one actual physical command grab per combo now, that's a limitation. Kill EX Rekka to EX Stomp instead of Linking. Yeah. Yeah. Car canceled OTG grab. I mean, I think I do. Funny, it gives you only grab. So tough. It puts tough. I got to figure it out. There's got to be a shortcut for it, man. That OTG grab can work anywhere. Wow. I have to see how people play this character. He's so, I'm so blown away. He's so much fun. He's just ridiculously amount of fun. And this music is great. Holy hell dude, this theme is awesome. I wonder if it's like Capcom inspired. Yo Ginger powder, thank you. A.A. Ron. Soldier Angelus. Dark King Rigo. Mr. December. Exo. BitCloud. Bye DOS, Tuakas. Dead Silence, Empire Dying, appreciate it dudes. Yeah, there's sound design. There's sound team codes. One sec, chat. This is probably one of the better mid-screen routes that you could do. Hold on a second. Uh, let's turn the camera head off. Not random, bro. I need to stop- I need to get that checked. That's probably it. That's probably it. I think these are still chaining together too. They are. Oh my god, dude, 570 damage off of a fucking jump in. Bro. 570 damage off of a jump in? This is probably going to do a shit done too. 266. Man, it's a little bit more. It's a little bit more. That doesn't work. Whoa! His Rippukins actually look badass! Whoa, I didn't notice where Pukins look like this. They're power waves. What the shit? Let me check some frame data. minus nine minus five minus three don't just save Minus five might be jab punishable, but that's about it And it's nine minus two Oh my god, I can fucking hold it minus three Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's nine Plus three Wow Minus 10, yeah. Wow, wow, cool. Wow, even that's minus two. Let's do as well Wow stomp is plus two on EX He gets a lot of plus frames all over the place, dude. You're gonna have to rev guard this guy. He's just gonna have to. I do this this song on repeat is great like I hasn't gotten old we've been listening to it for freakin ever and the song hasn't gotten old it's just wonderful holy shit and I understand how to read the frame viewer um well the thing you're looking for the most is advantage so on hitter block right what What does it mean? Negative bad. Right? It means not your turn usually. But positive good plus three good. So it's advantage to the left. One under your character's head. Positive good. So I can counter hit, okay. I even like his, you know... Is this a hard knockdown? No, it kind of is. That's a cool combo, dude. It's like legit a cool combo. I want to do some shit in my head, hold on. What the hell's going on here? Gotta get them juggling. Yeah, that route sucks. That route sucks. I think the best route for him is literally this. But no delay. Yeah, that's his best route for sure for sure I did it right So much goddamn damage dude! So much fucking damage. Wow. You can hold the HK follow-up to get another OTG grab at the end there. Oh, sorry. I should get to know how it's like. Sorry. Now it's great. No, it's great. It's a lot. It's not super long, but it's mostly all killer, no filler. You can hold HK follow up to get another OTG grab at the end there. So. At the beginning. like after that after the stand-up let me see just talking about right like after after the on the ground at the end so it's like right there after the EXDP so HK follow-up what does an HK follow-up after the XDP what we're talking about Is there another little bit that I could get? Fudge. The 214 LP HK follow-up. Really? You're gonna just do that at the end? that half circle back HP and to charge HK Rekka HK hold after DX DP okay you tell me why not the EX one because that won't work again we already use it in the combo the message You mean the regular one, not the EX one? Shit. I mean, I know I can get the regular one, but... does it give me what does it give me like another bounce or some shit I don't know if it does do the regular after the extp you can get another OTG grab I thought you really allowed one OTG grab per and because we already use it maybe like a regular command Interesting. Didn't realize that. So one EX, one normal per combo. So that's my finisher. And I don't get anything after that. It's Jovo. But still, pretty sick. And I think these do the same damage, right? 2-13. 2-13, they're the same damage. Um, yeah, not necessarily worth it, but you lose oki, but it's like the most non meter damage ender you could do, you know If you skip the EX Thunder Stomp, he will grab you. X command, right? So, I mean I can skip the EX Thunder Stomp and probably save meter. It might not be even worth doing. This thing did a half goddamn health and I didn't even use a meter yet I think I'll get another EX command grab there. If they don't quick rise, he will grab early. Okay, good to know. So it's like a cheeky reset. Wow, man. Combo damage went up from 419 to 487 as well. So it looks like the EX Thunderstomp, that state, is scaling it too much. Oh my god, man, 581. Five fucking 81 for a level. Which one does more? 237. So 237 versus 220. Raging Storm does a little bit more. Does a little bit more. We're both forward. Merger storm. Wow, man! Man! Fudge. Brother. They're about the same damage at the end of this combo, right? That one does a little bit more, I think. I think at the very end of it, Neo-Deadly Rave or Deadly Rave does better scaling. It's kind of like Ken's. Jynrai super scales better at the end of combos, just in general. Which makes sense, right? Which makes sense. End your combo into red blow if you want to set up his safe jump. Gotcha, so... what's the safe jump is it like jab frame jab frame kill jump probably not that the rave is cool because you cannot do the last hit and get an ex command grab fuck you really fuck you magic number for safe sense is 39 plus plus 72 So, you don't have to frame kill it somehow. I wonder how it sets up for safe jump, if it's the grounded one? Or... 214C, super jump for safe jump after grounded rev- after a grounded rev blow. Gotcha. Gotcha. Don't have to take a while to learn that shit. You know what's wild is that I see all these Ken still playing the game and they're playing it so safe and not moving around like crazy when Ken can move around like fucking crazy. His dash and his back dash dude and his hyper hops are nuts and no one's really using them that way. It's weird to me dude. Ken moves in this game and people are playing him like footsie bro and I'm like feel like you can definitely push him a little bit more. Maybe that's hard against some characters. That's what it is. That kid is mad good now. He feels like he feels like he's good now. Now, Geese isn't just good, he's kind of amazing. Like of all the different Geese's that I've played in a lot of the games, I think this one might be one of the best ones, like straight up. He has everything. They gave him everything, and he seems insanely fun. Maybe his neutral is bad, maybe his buttons don't end up being as good, but what he gets to do is just crazy. He's so much fun! Boom it does kinda suck, and he has to like, do some of this shit from fullscreen? Man, oh man. Oh, yeah, they're here. Man, oh man. I'm so impressed. Does he have a run now he does and he's a dasher. I'm so impressed. Holy shit. He's so cool. Yeah, it seems like he has weaknesses. He's even so good he should play it more. Man, I don't get to play anything. Too much shit happens. Yeah, it seems like he has weaknesses. It's even so good he should play it more. Man, I don't get to play anything. Too much shit happens. I've wanted to get Ken to, like, a higher rank in this game. Really bad. Like, really bad. He's so much fun. His anti-airs and defense are his weakness, so he has no wake-up, like, DP or anything. Right? He has no wake-up EX. He has to do level one. He has probably no decent anti-air, even down HP. Might not be good. Right? What the hell would his anti-air even be? Like, he has to do high dodge? Ooh. That's not so great. Counter sucks. No, you don't want to do that. You're like committing to an animation and if they didn't press a button, you're fucked. That's not good. Just see. I'm gonna press the button, dude, too. I haven't played a rank at all, really. Oh God demon hours. Yeah, it's a demon demon ish Give it an Excel Oh, you can turn off edited colors for other people. That's very cool. That is very cool. Do I like Fatal Fury more than KOF 15? I do. Yeah. I think KOF 15 was very fun. I think I ended up liking Fatal Fury a little bit more. I'm not going to find anybody. Sheet. Sheet. Yeah, this game really tickles. You know what? You know what it also is? This is legit, like, the most Capcom-y SNK game I think I've ever played. It's throwing it out there. It really feels like it. Like there's so much of this that is so close to Third Strike, which is funny because Third Strike was already very close to Garo. Round one. Get ready, fight! Shit! Projectable! Hahaha! God damn it. Yeah, this guy's doing crazy. Okay. Got to use to it. So you're saying SVC is coming? Oh, it's coming! Oh my god! I don't think that's free in this. Okay, buddy, okay, buddy. Shit. Let's go! Awesome! Let's go! Already doing shit! So you have chosen the path of rage he's talking on normal. Why is he all talking on normal? Wow Oh shit, howl brother stuff my shit I Yank Shit man Wow, okay Everyone's all McDonald's out here. Too easy! Damn geese. Damn geese. Oh my god, he's so cool. Yeah, we got big combo opportunities here. Oh shit! Oh Now my SPG super don't you dare he did it he's there he dared Oh my god, oh my god, I'm a stupid big idiot I messed up my brain died dude my brain straight up with you know what the hell to do so you have chosen the path of rage the path of the hunter you have the ambitions but do Do you have to? No, you're chosen about the bridge! Like, did not come out great. This line needed to be something else. So, you're chosen about the bridge! Oh no, he's really fun! Oh no, he's super fun! Fardee! A and C are his best folks, yeah, yeah. Okay, I'm getting the hang of it. Here comes a new challenger! I think a geese so far I think it's one of the most fun characters I've played in this game might be one of the most fun characters I've played maybe up to 4 a.m. now I'm goosin' the geese is lease You bitch! You bitch! Double jibber gun! No, Mr. Morgan! What the fuck is happening?! Oh, shit. What is happening? You have to say the names of the moves. No, Mr. Morgan! Got him! What the fuck? What's going on? Get out of this pose, man! What the fuck? What is this Akuma canceling a demon shit? Here we go. Bitch! I'm dying. I Got Okay God, I don't know why I get such enjoyment out of playing a good geese man Like whenever geese is good in these games. He's so much fun. I loved him in cds2. I loved them in KOF 14 Get that fuck out of here! Oh my god. Holy shit. oh shit oh shit you bastard you bastard this combo damage is wild let me just End something if I can in like a big super Jesus brother This is gonna put him into SPG dude it almost did Shit! What? That was not ready. Oh, was that ready for the command grab? Just to throw it on the other side and do nothing. Man, that was my moment for a combo. I'm learning. I'm inspired here, okay. morning. I'm inspired here, okay. He's so funny. Oh shit, I gotta get the Japanese one in here too. We're on some AM demon mode shit right now. So you have chosen the path of rage. Gatso! Man, I'm still getting used to the character, but I got to remember all the crazy cancel shit you can do from Block. Oh my god, I'm not even thinking about it. I'm not even thinking about just offense I Don't Godown Holy shit, he's so cool Shit I Go God Thanks God damn it Oh my god! Dude, I thought I did my super! And this bitch did his! I legit thought it was mine and I'm like, wait a minute, that's not my face! Oh my god! Wrap-Rap-Rap-Ring! Raaar! Jai-Stah! So cool. So cool. A lot of Street Fighter collab content in this game. Wonder what that means. Wonder what that means. Okay, the roll into me is really kicking my ass. Oh Shit Wow, I've hit him in the overuse. Holy shit, I did the wrong move. I'm the biggest God damn combo ever, too. Oh my god, I messed it up. Where are you belong? Wait, the DP again? Alright, let's go. No! Okay, dude, mess up the super. Mess up the goddamn super in the end. Alright, alright, alright. It's fine. This, uh, finisher. Very funny. This finisher is very funny. You're supposed to DP. You gotta get people off of you, man. But the thing is, against Geese, that's scary. Because if you... If you mess up one with DP against Geese, it's 50% and he doesn't even lose much. His damage is so fucking high, it's insane. Uh, he has like, Terry damage. Which seems almost impossible. Terry damage is bonkers. He gets so much for so little. new challenger. Geese! Geese! Terry just deletes people, yeah. Very little I Holy shit, that was cool AF brother God damn it Man you need to die now He was trying. Okay. SPG! If this counter hits... Shit. This grab is very good. Holy shit, this grab is very good. Okay, get mauled. Dude, I just want to punish you. Oh, no, okay. Too busy thinking about my moves. Troy Aikman! Ah, that whiffed. Okay. Shit. You piece of shit! He did it. God damn it, man! Okay, that I gotta use to where a stand-light kick actually reaches from, messin' me up. You stupid bitch! Try it, man! This is interesting. This is an interesting strategy here. Oh my god. try to try to try to try to get a sneaky knockdown grab in there did not work. Get off me. Wow. Okay. Oh, this is so cheeky. Oh my god, please god All right, we're back in this. It was looking bad. He's got a lot of meter to work with here, though, but I need to start using my Troy Eggman's Man, I'm my brain is just fried I want to end with super. I want to end with super. Give it to me. I want it. I'm like, where's the cheesy one liner in the end? Where is it? Yeah, Joss Blacks, thank you dude. He's very fun. Holy shit. Holy shit. I might have two characters that I really enjoy this and believe it or not, they're not Terry or Rock. I'd imagine Rock got a lot better, but dude, it's like Ken and Geese. I'm literally playing CBS 2 again. so funny. Yeah, I've been hearing rock is really good right now too. What I like about Geese is that he has like clear weaknesses, but shit, it doesn't matter. He's so much fun shit don't matter he's fun this version of geese is a ghost they literally write them into the story geese yeah all that matters is that he's fun to shit the play Oh this is 280ms. Boy howdy. Get ready! Fire at me! God damn that was cool! I Missed I fell for it Damn, um, I forgot where the wake up buttons are, like, how do I roll? This one, it don't feel like hard to know how to knockdowns. Not bad. Not bad. Bad lady rave! Full combo. Nice. See if I've got one. Wow! Oh, Jab-Jab does not combo into Fireball back? Holy shit, that's not good. Not good. Ooh, that is not that fast. Okay, okay. Hold the light buttons in a direction for short rolls. Heavy for long rolls. Alright, alright. Yeah, for high ping, this is running really good. Get ready Oh shit Oh my god, where's my red blow please game Revis Bluish. The runaway begins. Okay, he's always overheating a lot doing a runaway fireball. Does anybody know anything about it? Remember a combo. That isn't plus. that's preacher man I'll kill you. Where is it? He was pressing buttons, man. Bugs reading press over here. This game has really good netcode. Now it does. It's very good. Very good. Man, I'm gonna get you to stop running away, buddy! I'm gonna get him to stop running away! Damn it! I've tried to do jumping Shibuken as well. Damn it! Oh, that's the only input delay here. There's just no air. Wow! Okay. He's spending it. Man. I deserve it! Oh my god. Nice, good stuff. You can jump up back SPG with these. That's really good. That's actually extremely good now that I think about it. Because you can see an approach and you now have a completely safe armored, like, aerial cancel. Holy shit, I need to use that. That's mad good, dude. Holy shit. wait for Rev Blow when in the air and the SPG. Yeah, I get it. It's that I get it. I don't know if many other characters can do that. I guess they can. I think it's the fact that his angles at a dive kick. That makes that so good. Do they have a special intro or something I don't think no this game gets special intros some have it. No, that's definitely not special. Nothing special about that. Ready, my SPG! Burning! I'm down. I'm down. I Damn it, dude Okay, I died I don't like Rock in this game as much because he's not edgy, but he lost his character. He's all soft now. I actually don't like his characterization very much. Rock's a Boy Scout now, yeah. Shit! Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Round two get ready God damn it I See you see a weird this game. No, he feels amazing My god, dude, that was an armored jumping bullshit There that is Holy shit, oh my god, I lost you ship whoa Did a lot that's it a lot great fight party It's in the Kage will fight yet against Terry new yeah, I know it's in the game, but I haven't seen it I'm doing sqardion accident Is this gonna kill didn't almost did almost killed man holy shit of death of death of death of death of death Oh my god, I canceled it into dumb shit I'll take the normal one not even the manual input is even the normal one Well, I think the the conclusion is that this bitch is fun This is a very This is a very fun version of geese, you know like he is Legit enjoyable like we need to come back We need to come back and play more and actually learn better combos I'm gonna go watch people that have played geese and see what the heck they're doing in neutral and shit um yeah and as expected his buttons are a little funky buttons are a little funky and his defense isn't necessarily good you know but shit dude shit they nailed this character man I honestly think it's one of the best characters they've added to the game so far all right chat good stuff thank y'all Um, there's some crazy Twitter combos to try out, I'd imagine, dude. I'd imagine. I just want to see what people are doing off of confirms, you know? How confirms are working. I'll blaze, thanks for the prime. I'll be back. I'll let you guys know.
