Team Four Star General Thread

It doesn't matter if they get better at an underwhelming game.

True, but they went straight into the story without even doing the tutorial, so they're missing how to do super moves and stuff.

why are they like this

They don't even know how the find the tutorial.

Would the gameplay be much more interesting if they actually knew what they were doing? So far it's been pretty dull

Not really no.

Ultimate Tenkaichi is just an inherently boring game. The only fun in Ultimate Tenkaichi is in the schadenfreude of watching others have to play it.

Well getting better means they're less likely to get stuck

And while UT is not a great game, it's certainly not agonizing. It can be a very cinematic experience with the supers and pursuit chains.

Not terribly different to Spike's other games frankly.

Also, it's better complaining about a game if you know how to play it than blaming it on your own incompetent

So, this LP is no different from every other LP TFS does? Good to know. It's why I stopped watching them ages ago. They're hilarious but their incompetence at every game they play other than one or two is painful.

In absolute fairness, them being so bad and inept at everything is what makes them playing souls games and things like Tien Vs. Super Buu entertaining.

...The problem is that even those moments are few and far between, and them sucking so bad works out to be more frustrating than not, on average.

Yeah, their Soulsborne playthroughs were pretty great largely because you expect people to die a lot and everyone drinking made it even funnier. It also made those moments of sheer badassery like Kirran killing two bosses in one life or Lani achieving what we now know as Ultra Instinct -Omen- and obliterating the Shadows fo Yarhnam despite not having seen the second and third phase even better. I was on the edge of my seat for those and cheered like a madman when "PREY SLAUGHTERED" appeared on the screen.

But then you have them failing constantly on things that are really simple and the game was very obvious about and that's endlessly frustrating.

They also do good in Doom and games that they're actually enjoying. I imagine that since it's not a good game they don't really care enough about it to play it right and are just doing it for the commentary.

Yeah, if the game is good, then they will put in the effort to get good at it. But if a game is bad, then it isn’t worth the effort of being good at it.

They grind, have a rematch against Zarbon, grind and try to face the two bosses only to get stomped

So there's gonna be a lot of grinding

Yeah, the game is really grind-heavy.

Yeah as an added note, they've played really competently in both Hitman games on the channel too.

That oozaru sure is strong

Also bullshit QTE

Yam Yam trained hard and gor stronger...still can't beat the oozaru because QTE, but at least he was able to beat Piccolo and unlock super saiyan...after almost losing but whatever

God lord, I can imagine the cries in despair they are gonna make when they see the next story boss is golden oozaru Baby

Forced story damage...how negative.

At least it heals you.

Yep. What would have made that scene better is if they allowed you to try and beam-struggle or Guard or something but he'd still prove too strong for you. Better than you just standing there and taking it.

Luckily enough it's not near crippling to the point it causes you to lose the fight, at least it doesn't look like it

Still bull but eh

What are the other giant QTE bosses, aside from the Oozaru? I know there's Golden Great Ape Baby, and Ultimate Shenron is the final boss (neat idea for a Dragon Ball final boss, by the way, just fighting one of the wish dragons). I feel like I remember seeing Lani fight Hirudegarn and Wire Metal Cooler, but I'm not sure on that.

I don't know why games never use Janemba's first form as a giant boss, is it just because Super Janemba is stronger, more marketable, and human-sized? Because they could easily just make Super Janemba a more difficult boss than giant Janemba was.

Dragon Ball fighting games are notorious for some of their bullshit.

The Raging Blast games liked to have certain missions that start you at 1 HP. Awkwardly, they did not use this the way you might expect.

You might see that and go, "Oh, so like, Tenshinhan versus Cell would be a 1 HP fight. Cell's so powerful that he can waste Tenshinhan in a single hit. That makes sense."

No. That is not what that means.

Their logic was instead things like, "Frieza versus Krillin should be a 1 HP fight. Frieza so thoroughly surpasses Krillin that even letting Krillin touch you once is a failure to adequately represent the character of Frieza in this fight."

The idea was to make you feel powerful by forcing you to play a perfect match. It frequently had the opposite effect, however, because being killed by Krillin in one hit does not make you feel powerful.

As an example of that:
