The penultimate episode of Story mode has arrived!

Episode 32: Mop Up Video

Like I ask in the video, do you want to see more of the Agency's Choice or should I move on to the final battle? Either way, I'll probably have some multiplayer stuff up in the meantime.

I don't think there's a need for more of the non-unique battles. I'm guessing you plan to show off the final battle with both the kind of team you might have on a first playthrough and another time with Team Badass Supreme?

Something like that. Kou will be using a first timer's team, but there's a few ways to cheese GE after a few runs.

You've done a very thorough job of showing everything off. I think wrapping it up at this point is just fine.

Ok, it looks like I screwed up somewhere technically and our commentary isn't syncing properly with the video for some reason. If I can't sort it out I'll just have to re-record a run. I'll ask again though, would you rather see one long video or have the run broken up into smaller ones?

If its long enough to be broken into ~20 min chunks then go for it.

It is, and so do I. The back of the box talks like you can, but it's probably just referring to Versus and Challenge mode.

Really cool seeing some real teamwork and the unite morphs.

The only hard part is firing the Cyber Beam, it's pretty simple otherwise.

The player using the Head Borg controls movement and melee attacks, the Leg player only has to worry about shooting.

So Leg Borg can aim away from where Head Borg is facing?

Yep! It's a bit more obvious when Cyber Atlas is the Legs, but Machine Blue's missiles can go in other directions as well.

I wasn't able to get that before Bleeder and Kaze had to leave, but I will have a video of that soon.

Galactic Emperor sounds like the kids are playing pretend and the one that got stuck with the villain role is really getting into it. It fits.

It's a good thing the Gotcha Force somehow managed not to destroy any civilizations when they turned giant.

I never thought of it that way, but it fits incredibly well.

I always assumed they were actually standing on the literal Stratosphere, never touching the planet's surface during that fight.

Glad to see this back.

I figured there was at least one borg that would take advantage of the fact that Galactic Emperor is stationary and has a huge hitbox. It was still surprising how effective that last team was.

Isn't it though? :allears:
I didn't much like Drill Robot when I first got one, so I threw it into the box and forgot about it. Then, one day I was messing around in Special Mode and the rest is history.

On an unrelated note, Splatoon is inkredible and anyone with a WiiU should seriously consider picking it up.

I can tune a fish.
I used a different but very similar cheese strategy back when I played the game (since I just couldn't deal with those final phases). Proto Titan's energy lances work much like drill missiles, though I wanna say they're not quite as outrageously effective, and thanks to the comparative rarity/GF cost of Proto Titan compared to Drill Robot, not quite as efficient either. Worked a treat for slowing the game down to single digit framerates though. :allears:

Again, thanks for LPing this!

I'm amazed that you can "control" The Emperor without the game crapping out. What would have made it wonderful would be if since you can't control the guns and such then instead you could press buttons to have the Emperor say different taunts. You could spam his "Ha ha ha!" line to annoy your friends.
