Team Four Star General Thread

They clearly won't to me. Just saying it now so I can refer back to it later.

As long as they have 99x3 max potions they'll never wipe unless they get critted.

They're not losing. Ripley can't be oneshotted by Garchomp, even with a crit and with over a hundred Full Restores, they'll laugh off anything Cynthia does.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

Calm Mind + super soaker for the victory.

Summarize please?

‘My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’

that was actually somewhat satisfying.

Secret Signature

Ripley and Mr. President go down to some unexpected 4x supereffectives from Bertha. They get through Flint and Lucien alright, and get through one-third of Cynthia’s team before Poppy falls to Togekiss. After that, they decide to buff Narkama to max with Calm Mind, and promptly proceed to sweep.

Kind of cheap, but considering that they had already lost their best options, and even they thought they would die here, I thought it was a pretty good final battle.

Oh God! Natural light!

Hearing they actually lost pokemon does make it more interesting.

I mean, it certainly helps that Mr President (“GET DOWN, MR. PRESIDENT!”) and Ripley’s (no, the Ryperior doesn’t know Ice Punch...but it DOES know Avalanche...) deaths were both pretty memorable.

Oh God! Natural light!

When i saw the episode length and that it was the finale, I fully expected them to wipe. Glad to see that I was wrong. And losing about half their team seems like a fine ending. That is more then they usually lose.

I was kinda expecting Mr.President to pull a King Soupspoon (basically the guy who shows up at the last stretch of the game, but leaves a damn good impression) But then again with a mon who's slow, has weakness up the ass AND took a quad effective hit when he's already damaged...yeah.

Still an enjoyable finale.

¡PONLE QUE DIGA!:"¡HUMONGOSAURIO HASTA LA MUERTE!"

Looks they will be playing Vampyr next. They are trying something new where they stream their recordings on Twitch, then edit it down into episodes to upload to youtube.

Hey, their first DONTNOD game.

DONTNOD?

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!

The developer of Vampyr. They also made Life Is Strange and Remember Me.

Well they've got the Stream Four Star channel to upload the full stream VODS on, so going back to Stream Highlights (which was the first thing that made me aware they streamed) for the main TFS Gaming channel is a good idea.

That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.

They said they won't be uploading the Vo D to the archive channel for this. No point when you are uploading an edited version to the main channel.

Ooooooh, I see now. I misinterpreted. I thought you meant that they'd be editing down their actual streams, not the recording sessions for actual episodes.

Bit annoyed whenever someone discovers Monomyth first time and immediately misunderstands the point of it

I never realized how annoyed I was at their gameplay (or more specifically Grant and Kirran's gameplay) of Metal Gear until 4.

Seriously...how are they so bad? Grant keeps running in close during the first gunfight with the FROGS to melee them instead of taking the much safer option of shooting them and Kirran is pulling a Dark Souls 3 and outright refusing to try and fight them. Seriously, he ran by the whole area then gleefully dove into a bunch of laser-tripwires and killed himself.

I stopped watching most of their LPs ages ago for that very reason. Their LP of Dragon Ball FighterZ is pretty enjoyable, though, since Lani and Grant are both pretty good at the game (or at least good enough) but this is kinda hampered by Kaiser being kinda bad. Kiran is also pretty good whenever he's around.

It’s a combination of them having to talk and entertain an audience, not playing for at least a week at a time, and even when they are playing, with all the controller switching, a single person only plays for about a third of that at best. And that is generous. One week Lani had the controller the entire time. So they never really get a chance to improve, since when they die, they keep switching till someone manages to make it through.

It's funny that nowadays, Kaiser is really good at Fighterz.

By the way, here's the FMK poll for the Summer Season.

If anyone's curious, I voted for: Angolmois, Asobi Asobase, Banana Fish, Chio-chan, Grand Blue, Happy Suger Life, Cells at Work, Planet With, Angels of Death, and Revue Starlight.

Thing is, these are the only shows that the guys seemed even remotely interested in watching. Maybe switch one or two shows around, but almost everything else on the poll looks like straight-up garbage.

Harukana Receive is apparently actually pretty damn good. It's an ecchi anime loaded with yuri bait but there's also apparently a lot of really good discussions in there about what it takes to be a good partner and what it means to rely on someone romantically. At the very least, it was good enough for Goeff of Mother's Basement fame to recommend it.

Ben watched the first episodes of both of the booby sports anime that Geoff suggested, and he hated them both and thought they were extremely boring and flat. They tend to disagree with Geoff really severely on some shows, like with Wotakoi. Kaiser and Ben's review of it was "it's mediocre, and there are so many missed opportunities, I wish it was better" while Kirran's was more along the lines of "these characters are all flat, predictable stereotypes and this show fucking sucks and insults my intelligence". On the other hand, Geoff's review of the show is nothing but praise for their deep, realistic, and relatable writing.

I'm not saying that the two girl sports shows are objectively bad by any means, but I don't think the panel will like them very much.
