I guess it's more a problem that they left a lot of the fails in...and those would make up most of the video.
But their commentary makes up for it...somewhat.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I'm not gonna lie, given that apparently the Kienzan was remote controllable, I'd have liked to see some kinda combo tech that fires off the disc, then catches the enemy with a more standard laser blast before dragging the Kienzan through them from behind. Enemy's all "Ha! I've caught you're laser!" and then suddenly BAM, organs taking a permanent vacation. Bonus points if because of the shock of, y'know, bisection, they stop blocking the laser and get vaporized.
It just seems to me these techniques could be awesome if they were put together or utilized in tandem, but are bad on their own. Like, if filler hadn't decided Cell was immune to Kienzan's for some reason, imagine if during the big beam struggle between SSJ 2 Gohan and Super Perfect Cell, Krillin just sorta sneaks in and cuts off Cells arms? Would have been hilarious.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/lb_i.php?lb_id=13239183440B34964700 Alfric's Fire Emblem Liveblog Encyclopedia!I don't mind having the DB XV 2 ep 1 video here, since it's just episode 1 and alerts me to the fact that they started it, even if I don't intend to watch.
As for bits in let's plays, specifically Slowmara in their Nuzlocke:
The difference between a Let's Play and a game movie or a walkthrough is that the point is to watch other people's experience. It's not like they said it was original footage and then uploaded some basic "____ reacts!" video or something. Also, a Nuzlocke is intended to create personality and attachment for the Pokemon. That and the challenge are the main ideas of doing that style of play in the first place. Plus, some things, like the first Slowmara deletion, or MC Pinchee's accuracy, are just ripe for comedy. Not everything was particularly forced (straight to trash was lame, but at least the tiered friends list made up for it).
Besides, wouldn't most of the villains be able to sense the Kienzan's energy without needing to see? I know the early Saiyans and Freeza wouldn't but everyone else would probably think "Huh. Giant energy skewer. Let me get out of the way before I can feel my intestines."
Solar Flare doesn't just blind but also tends to... basically incapacitate the fighter. Remember Cell used it to escape Trunks, and Trunks logically should have been able to still track him via sensing his energy. But instead Trunks straight up stopped moving when he was hit by the Solar Flare.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.Vegeta/Krillin Duo Tech! Vegeta fires that useless ki spam that he loves so much and while the enemy is standing there loltanking it, Krillin nails them with the Kienzan.
It's hard to focus when your retinas are on fire.

Hey, to be fair, while I don't remember who Vegeta has successfully beam spammed in canon, the Kienzan was the attack that ultimately landed a fatal blow on Frieza at 100% power.

Goku can be a very generous person when he wants to be.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/lb_i.php?lb_id=13239183440B34964700 Alfric's Fire Emblem Liveblog Encyclopedia!Actually, unrelated to the Kienzan joke, what condition was Frieza in after the planet exploded? He was pieced back together into Mecha Frieza, but I don't remember what his situation was. Was he a bunch of scattered parts that got picked up, or a ragged top half? I know Cooler somehow survived being put into the sun but only had part of his head left after it, but I don't remember seeing anything like that for Frieza.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/lb_i.php?lb_id=13239183440B34964700 Alfric's Fire Emblem Liveblog Encyclopedia!I don't know, actually. The kienzan successfully scarred Nappa's face once and cut off Frieza's tail tip for a while. It's not much, mind you, but it has done a tiny bit of damage to foes.
Has anyone ever been adversely affected by Vegeta's ki spam? I can't recall a single instance where the dust settled and the recipient wasn't revealed to be either a) entirely unfazed or b) not even there because he dodged super fast.
I'm not counting Frieza defeating Frieza or Android 18 defeating Goten and Trunks in the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai because I'm mainly focusing on Krillin's use of it. It's unfair to compare Vegeta's ki spam versus anyone's Kienzan.
Props to 18, though. She threw it one time and got more mileage out of it than Krillin ever has.

didnt do much against Cell either times, and even Gohan managed to keep dodging it back in their first fight (Cell and Goku didnt have much luck with it either when they used it)
I'd say the most succesful user of it was Vegeta himself (and he learned that technique somehow?)

It'd be preferable to have both the personality and the well played...
Too much fail can kill the deal, not all the time though.
