The Melty Blood did not disappoint.

As a H-VSion main I laughed when Pat said every character in this game has an amazing DP. Also, it's a pity Woolie didn't explain/didn't know about Reverse Beat, because it's one of the cooler things about the game. You can cancel strong normals into weak, safe normals! On block! It's bullshit! (It's awesome)

MB is fun.

Sony just said Transistor and Yakuza 4 among others are free on PS+ next month. Is 4 a good place to start, because I really wanna play Yakuza so Pat's shilling is not in vain.


It's not a bad place to start if you can't help it, but it's best to play the other games first. The recaps can tell you stuff, but all they'll really do is spoil the other games if you ever intend to play them. I played 4 first because it was the most convenient one to get, and I regret it.

Although if you go through with playing 4 first anyway, I can't really fault you, because Yakuza 2 is hard to get. They really need to give us 1 & 2 HD already so that starting the series from the beginning can be a more viable option.

I feel like Pat's doujin game comment and complaints about roster variety give the impression that Woolie and Liam didn't explain to Matt and him that this franchise wasn't originally a fighting game.

Also Woolie got lore wrong and this is a high crime

I thought Pat's comment was "Isn't this based on a doujin anime"? Weren't they talking at the beginning about how it was an anime

The kind of mindset that someone who used to actually MAKE those characters seriously would have.
It's a celebration of a lot of the worst things about M.U.G.E.N, I.E. DBZ BS, broken hitboxes/health, and so on.
Whereas Woolie, and certain people like him, thought it'd bring about a new age of crazy cool fighting games.

Clever Betty
I don't like it when Pat/Liam get into talking about something and just start mindlessly thumbing through dialogue boxes/not paying attention at all to the game, it happened a lot during Barkley as well. They missed some of Booster's fantastic super goony dialogue, among other things like on Marrymore Hill, Liam started talking to Pat and kinda just meandered down to the lower path and stuck there. I'm fine with them missing the crown, I don't know what sort of TV they were playing it on so it might not've been incredibly apparent to them. Got the "best" result though.

Yea I can't blame him for being salty (eh? eeeeeh?) as a dude who actually put (puts? Not sure if he still uses that stuff) work in to made decent things, and then got excited to see it get 'mainstream' (ish), and then realize 'oh so people mainly want to see broken poo poo or goku with blue hair and all, well drat'.

Tsukihime was an porn visual novel that got an anime at some point that nobody liked and then Melty Blood happened which is the greatest thing Tsukihime gave us.

The jaunty version of Green Greens the Best Friends usually use is the one from Kirby's Epic Yarn, specifically. I'm not sure where the metal covers for the new Machinima intro and the podcast intro come from though; I'd guess they're fan covers.

Oh man Magfest video ruled until it got to Woolie's showoff corner.

Either A) He got a Kirby amiibo and didn't want to admit it because of his huge hateboner for Kirby
or
B) He takes his friend with him as a travel companion.

If it's B then the video is saved though. Also did Liam get anything or was it deemed Too Anime For Youtube.

I think that the Melty Blood video confirms Woolie is more anime than Liam ever was. I mean, "Di Gi Charat :syoon:"

Yeah never noticed it was a Innsmouth thing till recently.

To be fair though the off toads did steal their wallet and aren't even trying to act normal.

Probably the part where he and the boss both mysteriously gain health.:) Shame the audio is so low, missed out on the best music in the game.

I rewatched it, I don't think that's supposed to be a secret edit. I mean, he even says "let's try that again", and there are easily better places to cut seamlessly (when the batting prompt appears for example), but I can see how it comes off that way. The video was already on the long end, keeping in two fights on a boss fight as long as Bad Girl is obviously bad, but I don't think it's an attempt to look cool while girls are watching, just editing to save time.

I had a feeling Ubisoft didn't really care much. Thanks for the info Matt.

I'm sure a bunch of Youtube commenters probably mentioned it by now but you can still train with Thunder Ryu's blue, transparent ghost. It's pretty neat.
And if we're going with the whole sexuality theory, Bad Girl kinda sounds like an allusion to prostitution, what with the "It's just a job" comment and all.

Okay, so what happened, is that my mailman rang the door bell again (this also happened during the Destroy Man episode) I have to answer the door, sign for a package, (which took a full 5 mins) as soon as I unpause, a GIMP came flying at me, and killed me. I screamed.

I HAD to edit that out and restart the fight, I mean, what would you do? And like I stated several times before, I edited the hell out of this LP to begin with. It's not like I was trying to be sneaky. And I don't want to force people to sit through the entire fight again.

If you want me to be super truthful thought, that is the only time I die in this LP.

EDIT: I know about Thunder Ryu's ghost. I train with him in the next part.

Just wondering, are you gonna slow-down the fast-forwarded backstory of the final boss?
