Kale has the most advanced tech in the entire world and loses to a guy with a trash collector arm and an iPod3
Right after getting his ass handed by a robot cat, too.
"What you lack... Is this! ❤"
@@admiralpepper6933 "What do you think, that I can't handle a CAT?" Moments before disaster
It'd be funnier if it was not even an iPod, but a Zune.
You know, in hindsight, I like to think Kale lost partially because he never got his coffee.
Woolie screaming when he realizes he made Chai a Male Viola was so good.
Except Chai is fun
Not content on stealing Viola's seat at the cool kids table, Chai steals Viola's drip as well
@@chero666 No shit, Viola is cringe from top to bottom
I love lots of stuff about this game. But one of the little things that makes me smile is earlier in the game when you're repairing the data cores at the end Chai says "I did it!" and Peppermint corrects him that "WE did it" as you had to use your assists to do it. Then at the end here after beating Kale, Peppermint says "you did it Chai" and he corrects her that they did it together. So nice, I love the emphasis on team work/team attack.
Chai at the ending saying he was learning guitar just in case his new job didn't go alright was total character development. He's planning for the future!
I love at the ending seeing Viola superfan Woolie remake his favorite character of all time. Chaiola was looking pretty good.
Even better when you realize Chai came to get his arm fixed anyway. I think it's hinted at that he's had a non-function arm for a long time or maybe all his life which is why he never learned.
@@feverdreams17 John Johanas confirmed that something was wrong with Chai's arm at the start of the game, though he said that they purposefully didn't address it.
@@ShawnFaux it was later clarified in an article, they had a whole backstory planned to explain why he's there for real(including the specific disability on his arm I suppose), but John Johannas judged it better to keep it a mystery to focus on his character development instead.
@@FaelumbreProject Oh, I didn't know there was a follow up. Thank you, that's cool.
@@FaelumbreProject Adds extra weight to Chai dislike of the term "Defect".
Glad to see that both Pat and Woolie just made Viola as their idealy customized Chai
I was watching him purchase the exact same outfit that I did, and now I realize I also just made Viola lmao
And both lost it over Korsica's suit. I'm surprised Woolie didn't insta buy it like Pat.
Honestly, she deserved to be in another game series. The Writers and Game Designers fumbled hard in implementing her in the game.
to be fair, Viola does have a good design
Who’s Viola?
The boys talking over the only lyrics in the credits, when the credits are specifically about the dev process, and thus TOTALLY misinterpreting the message is just the wooliest thing ever
Disappointed in Pat for skipping credits, thought Woolie would hear it but he just completely missed it cause he was lost on his own joke. What a shame.
And thus, the final payoff to a joke set up back at the Zanzo arc. SYSTEM RUNS ON DECAF.
I love that. Headcanon is they never figured out how to fix it.
You don't know how blessed I feel that I found that email independently and could appreciate the joke just unfolding throughout the game.
Coffee bot won.
It's really rare to find a game that's hitting straight 10s from beginning to end, but somehow Hi Fi Rush pulls it off
Well it's made from the og of resident evil, with the soul of devil may cry poured into it, so yea
And they didn't even get to make the game they WANTED to make!
Hey it hit gay 10s in the credits too
@@The_Devil_Breaker_
What was the game they originally wanted to make?
"I killed a game studio with my freaking mind!"
When "no one" is in control of 808 "Call Me Bob" the Cat, isn't that just what she's like when synced to Chai? They definitely seem to share a brain cell most of the time.
Me: Huh, Woolie made the same chai clothing choices I made
Reggie: Isn't this Viola?
Me and Woolie: GOD DAMNIT
I had different shoes but exactly same lol
I love how Korsica's suit outfit is just so perfect it is an insta-buy for almost everyone.
And with the short hair, it's like it was MADE for woolie.
"Wanna know the name? Hi-Fi Rush."
Damn Reggie got that last hit in good with the Viola remark.
shat should I google to get that reference?
@@TheGuwrovsky He outfitted Chai to look very similar to Viola from Bayonetta 3
If Kale's second phase was more aggressive and there was a mechanic to not be deflected, it would be the perfect boss fight. Going from Vergil, to Doc Oc, to Armstrong while channeling Handsome Jack and reflecting the prior short comings of our protag.
Can't wait for the Maxor video on the game
Is Maxor making a video on this game? I've got something to look forward to, then.
I believe people found that if you attack him in the second phase, you can force him to use the special attacks way sooner. Not great that a "fix" had to be found, but it's something.
@@Tekh09 Kinda but the instant stagger you get from the bounce back really ruins the flow.
@@Tekh09 yeah its still kinda an ass phase but you can at least way shorten the time you spend in it
@@kpxtreame If they just let Macaron damage his shield arms when he's blocking too instead of only when they're stuck in the ground would have gone a long way to improve the flow of phase 2
Peppermint, the selfmade only child.
She does what Azula only threatens
Hey! It was a team effort.
@@planguy9575 the real dead siblings were the friends we made along the way.
Listen, Korsica is the HEAD OF SECURITY. She's the last person who would use a password like that... therefore, it's the best password, because nobody would guess that.
Korsica is three moves ahead of everyone.
I thought it was just an example of corporate humor. I mean she should know better, but...
Woolie said it "Perfect until proven otherwise"
As far as I'm concerned, the lack of lock-on and the combo breaking shields is the only gripe with the game and that really minor gripe.
Maybe the support summons should auto-lock on their specific shields too then your target, but then again minor.
The more I look at this game the more it has similar to vanilla DMC: Devil May Cry, gameplay wise.
@@jasonterre1056 If this helps: Early on I found that there's this sort of lock on that's invisible but surprisingly reliable. Just imagine there's a tiny arrow pointing from Chai in the direction you're inputting with the left stick. The enemy most in this directional input line-of-sight is what you'll lock on to. I found that you can actually pretty seamlessly pick and choose which enemies you're attacking with this in mind. It's actually very precise. Once I found this I actually preferred it to DMC's lock-on which can cause problems with attempting to focus one guy in a crowd. I almost never have problems hitting my target in Hi-Fi Rush now, it's a really well done soft lock on.
Defeated by the power of friendship. And this gun Peppermint uses. And Macaron's fists. And Korsica's accent. And a cat.
Especially the cat
Chai and 808's team up attack on Kale was legit the hypest one. And they were all ridiculously hype.
Did you notice Macaron's glasses start to slip off in the costume thing because he's being so still?
I'm glad Woolie had the same exact energy and response I did when we first saw the Korsica pinstripe suit outfit. Just fucking *chef's kiss*. And the let down hair makes it all the better.
I had the same reaction and honestly, the fact it's the only alt costume in the game with a hair style change has me convinced that it was her original design or at least concept art that just barely made it in. I mean she is one of the CEOs so she should be in a formal outfit like the rest of the bosses.
The best part about the ending animation is that Chai's real guitar has old decals from Peppermint; so she gave it to him to make up for that jab!
I love their surrogate sibling relationship so much
God, what an amazing game, especially off the disappointments with Bayo 3, and even more amazing LP.
The great thing about Chai's real guitar is that it was created by his reality altering musical super powers. Slamming his guitar into Kale was what did it.
@@planguy9575 The game actually never clarifies that. The one he uses during the game is a Flying V, the postgame one is a Custom Crimson.
The way Kale says loser with a hard r always kills me lmfao
Really hope there's a sequel for this, if not, then I'm alright with it.
Considering the reception, definitely a sequel. I mean, no one expected an Evil Within 2.
Let's hope Chai gets an actual rhythm trigger mode in the next game
Hi-Fi Rush II: Smidge's Lo-Fi Revenge
Oh no who killed comment 3?
In all honesty I can see a side campaign that either fleshes out Peppermints backstory or Korsica's missions after joining the squad, and a DLC or Update thats all VR Mission type stuff called the CNMN Challenge seems like a gimme if its not a trophhy already
This was one of the most effortless games I've played in a while. Not that it was easy, just that just about every moment felt like a joy to play.
Defeat Cyborg Vergil with a big team attack. THAT is how you end a boss fight.
Everyone getting their own baller freeze-frame comic strip panel was so awesome. Especially the one with 808 lol
At last, his blood-lust sated, our hero's murder-spree comes to an end. Kind of convenient that their entire body always just disappears afterward, so you don't have to think about it.
It has scott pilgrim's mechanics: they didn't die, they just respawned at their houses
One of the selling points of Project Armstrong was self cleaning corpse.
50:16 When Reggie pointed out the similarities to Viola, I thought Woolie knew already and was playing up a bit
It all comes back to Viola. Nice one Woolie.
Wollie going through the bit that Chai did not even play Guitar at all before the game started, yet wanted to be a Rockstar, forgetting that the first time we see Chai, his right arm is in a sling, and he goes to get it replaced to have it work
Never change, Woolie.
Chai getting a robot arm was the first step in his ability to even attempt being a rockstar.
The dude was a college dropout and could do parkour without his arm. When Peppermint calls him out on his slacking, he can't defend himself because defective arm or not, yeah, he's a slacker.
If he got his arm without the events of the game, he might not have even started practicing.
Woolie confirming he would've loved viola in a different game. Bayonutters rise up
I appreciate that ***everyone*** drools over Suited Korsica and Korsica in general.
Also, perhaps an unpopular opinion, I love Prep Chai more then any of the other costumes. Black and Pink are DOPE together
Suits are hot. That's a fact.
I like her weekend and sporty outfit better. I'm only down for suited ladies when they're demons.
My only gripe with the Prep Chai set is that the vest is clipping in every animation. Wasn't a problem at first, but with Photo Mode I need to switch it out;;
Woolie giving corporate advice at the end is fucking hilarious. I wonder if he recognized the "QA-Mill" joke with the first boss.
The fact Zanzo is the only one that is still alive he's going to wake up in an unemployment line with a black eye and have no idea what just happen
Roquefort might also be still alive, just pinned down under a heavy gold pile
80% of this video is looking at the cosmetics and it's the best part of the LP. Fucking incredible.
I like how both me and woolie had the same reaction to Korsica in a suit of just "Damn, ma'am"
I think the last CNMN costume is a reference to Chappie.
Yeah, especially with the "Who?" name.
FYI, if you buy the "full costumes", you can mix and match the individual pieces. Except for the shark, for what I assume is an obvious reason.
This game not only looks fun and has an amazing soundtrack, I havent laughed so hard at a game in years. Everything about it just work and never feels old, a rare feat in this day and age. Props to the team, and i hope to see Chai and co in the future!
I legitimately can't think of any game I've laughed at much less, one that had me laughing with pretty much every joke. What's so crazy is that in an interview with 8-4 John Johannes said that due to the pandemic they couldn't focus test or have many other people hear the script so he just had to go on faith that everything worked. Ironically I think the fact the script wasn't muddied up or made more "marketable" for general audiences is the reason it was so funny to the audience that would actually play this game.
This game is what every piece of media that tries to inject "Marvel humor" is trying to be.
I'm excited for sequels. The next game could be about fighting Vandelay's competitors who are even more ruthless than the bosses in this game. It could give insight as to why Kale thought brainwashing their consumers was a good idea. He thought the competition would eventually destroy his mother's business and took matters into his own hands.
Loved watching this throughout the weeks. It always made my day better whenever I saw the new episode uploaded. Definitely gonna buy this on steam when I get the chance!
Viola should have had all of Chai's moves except change the junk for fairy energy. This thought has been with me since Pat finished this game.
I saw this somewhere so it's not mine but imagine an alternative version of the game where Chai recruits the bosses instead of killing them: training physically with Rekka, going along with Zanzo wacky experiments to upgrade your tech, learning show boating tricks from Mimosa...
What an incredible game. Looking forward to hearing Woolie talk about it some more after he's had some time to think about it. I hope he checks out the Spectra stuff / Rhythm Tower on his own time because its a blast.
On a side note that ending cutscene is so lovely but why the hell is Chai so much taller than everyone, this is Manlet erasure people
I'm pretty sure the people in charge of the animation don't know how important it is for Korsica to be towering over Chai.
@@planguy9575 sometimes I forget how much bad taste most of the world has.
pro-tip you can just spam combos on Kale while he's "shielding" to force him to make himself vulnerable to Macaron, you just need to memorize a sequence of parries it goes like Hit > Hit > Parry > Parry > Hit > Hit > Hit > Parry > Parry > Hit > Hit > Hit> Hit> Parry > Parry
Awww, look at the guitar, it has a 808 sticker. Maybe Peppermint made it not even knowing if Chai will learn to play?
This entire playthrough led up to woolie seeing the korsica costume
I had the same reaction to Korsica's suit and honestly, the fact it's the only alt costume in the game with a hair style change has me convinced that it was her original design or at least concept art that just barely made it in. I mean she is one of the CEOs so she should be in a formal outfit like the rest of the bosses.
i think because Korsika was kept in the dark about what spectra actually was and knew that the only way for anyoen to even access the password screen was via 5 admin keys, that's the reason why she made the password so . . . "idiot proof"
So I played this game on Hard mode for my first time through. Kale Destroyed me like 20 times in a row. The Hard mode damage is HUGE and you are constantly taking hits in Kale's final phase as you try and sus out the parry timing.
Yeah on hard mode I was forced to learn how to parry everything at that point it took me hours, but at least I could spend more time with the game. The only thing I do regret is not realizing how effective Korsica's wind is for stunning enemies. I mean I don't have an LP tax to blame this on, but it truly felt like it wasn't doing much when I started using her so just never switched to her unless there was fire.
Chai Viola will not get out of my head now, thanks
I like to think of the soundtrack as the concept album Chai put together to talk about his adventure. Not the most intricate guitar work, but it's got heart.
Was expecting that Woolie played this game's "Bloody Palace", but both the rant and the "dress up Chai" were very worth it.
This is indeed a good ending (except for Kale and the other bad guys)
Eh, they had it coming. (and Kale like, actually blew himself up instead of taking the L, so it's not like there was a choice)
In which everyone, including myself, is weak as hell to women in suits.
Korsica dropping the bomb on woolie at the end, fantastic.
not often you see a shadow announcement/drop of a awesome game but here we are
I would honestly just say that never happens, but I would love to hear any other examples.
14:40 Chai, the anti-wingman, interrupting Peppermint as she shoots her shot.
Instead Cock-Blocking, Chai is Pussy-Blocking
Eh, she wasn't that upset about it. Took it in good humor. Besides, I think Korsica is out of her age range. She's 32. Just a crush on a cute older lady.
@@planguy9575 Peppermint is 23 it's fine
@@planguy9575
Damn 32? she looks to be in her mid-twenties, goddamn.
@@admiralpepper6933 Well, now I feel old.
woolievs the algorithm NEEDS that Chai-ola bit from the end. IT CALLS FOR IT, IT HUNGERS FOR IT.
Who woulda thought that the Hi-Fi was the Rush we made along the way
11:35 Technically, only three. Zanzo was knocked out, and Roquefort was just buried. As for the rest, Chai can just claim self-defense.
And of those three two of their suits malfunctioned and self-destructed. Only Mimosa could be considered definitely killed by Chai directly
No straight roads is a little less "to the music" than this game. It was made by a small team, so not everything matches up to the beat. But it has a little more heart than Hi-Fi, a much wilder art style, and a much more varied musical selection. It's not as clean as Rush is, but it is still a lot of fun, if not just for the love the team clearly put into it with what they could.
It's even got a Woolie in it. I think getting a game or two in between Hi-Fi Rush and NSR would be for the best though, cleanse the palate.
And thus, we reach the moral of our tale: If you ever get into a fight with Woolie, bring photos of women in well-tailored suits.
And don't forget the short hair.
The game has great original tracks but man, I wish they could've hear the perfect drug in the final fight.
While I like no straight roads and the Idea of woolie playing it, even I as a fan had to admit that it has it's fair share of problems and I hope people are not going to be to disapointed.
As long as the music is good I can overlook a lot
@@thelegalsystem Well I learnt about it from a video game music channel I follow, and have DK West's song stuck in my head time to time so yeah.
The only thing I can think of is get a game in between Hi-fi Rush and NSR just to cleanse the palate. It's not bad, but it's not Hi-Fi Rush.
@@NEEDbacon I'll check it out sometime then!
Remember that Korsica originally thought Spectra was just a routine firmware update. She didn't likely think it was important enough to put a heavy password on it.
Streamer mode tracks was banging i almost dont want to know the other half
Honestly the only DMCA ones I think are better are the last two levels, specifically "Whirring" by the Joy Formidable since Woolie described the streamer mode song as kind of typical, but Whirring has such a unique sound to it, I almost feel like that could recreate it without just copying it.
@@Kango234 I didn't mind Kales song he had instead of "The Perfect Drug". "Invaders Must Die" is absolutely the better choice over "Intruder" though.
Kale's fight here really shows my one problem with the game: the bosses are clearly not designed for the highest difficulty Rhythm Master. Many of them have long waiting periods where you cannot attack them. Your only way to keep your style meter above D is to attack the air while you wait, which is not fun and also doesn't always work. It sucks.
Woo:the true finale....
What a fun LP and what a fantastic game. Thank you for playing, guys.
Coming in to say that thinking streamer mode songs can beat Nine Inch Nails or the Prodigy is actual insanity
Aaaah, it’s past 10pm and I work early tomorrow, but at least I have something to watch as I make and eat breakfast. This game is a gem, start to finish. Imma riot if it doesn’t get nominated for GOTY
Man, wish he went with Chai Fierri
9:21 Seriously? That was Korsica’s Password?!
The title of this video should be: CHAI! CHAI! CHAI! CHAI! (Viola). Or something like that.
Man what an amazing ride you guys were so fun to watch.
Woolie "accidently" recreating Viola is like when Brian David Gilbert "accidently" made ska.
*Game:* Its time for the feels good credit scene! Just sit back and enjoy this cool animation and song.
*Woolie:* "The perfect time for an overly specific joke that goes for way too long!"
Tbf, woolie has lived the qa life so long he had to release his rage
I disagree. It went on the perfect amount of time.
"Play a note, you fucking loser!" is an all-timer of a quote.
Watching the smile slowly creep across Reggie's face as he realizes that Woolie was accidentally making Viola and keeping dead quiet about it until he finished in order to inflict maximum damage.
45:24 and Peppermint dies of blood loss due to excessive nose bleed.
Bayo 3 still lives rent free in Woolie's head🤣
I mean if you waited like 8 years for the next entry in your favorite franchise only for it to suck I wouldn't blame. MGSV still irritates me to this
No Woolie, Korsica, the only member of the big 5 EXPLICITLY SHOWN to not know about SPECTRA, did not set the primary password for the SPECTRA command console. Not sure where you invented that one.
He saw them manually entering Korsica's password. The thing is, they HAD to manually enter that one not because it was the primary password, but because Korsica had her password memorized and not on a fancy usb stick.
@@thelegalsystem So even though it's STUPID, it's still well ahead everyone else security wise. Plus someone else mentioned since Korsica is in the dark on Spectra, probably didn't put much effort in.
8:03 KITTY CAT COMBO!
If only it was five seconds later.
GOOD FOR THEM
What a great playthrough - so happy to see this one go down.
That was fun.
Fun things are fun.
Man woolie was spitting facts about that qa. Been in qa for a few years and I can 100 percent agree with him on all of what he said.
The fact that both Pat and Woolie made Viola unintentionally is synchronization on another level. 🤣
yall need to start river city girls 2 now. want to keep this vibe up
45:20 I mean it’s understandable, women in suits are just 👌
I know it's not feasible in a playthrough context, but I'd love to see their reactions to the extra cutscene at the end of the SPECTRA challenge rooms.
wait are those funnels I see on kale
He spared no expense.
Won't lie, i feel they kinda dropped the ball on Macaron's outfits. I like what they got but I feel it doesn't come close to the other partner outfits
I really like the jazz one
@@MattManDX1 same! I just want more costumes for my boy
@@MattManDX1 It and high school are the only viable ones yeah. Luchador was ruined by the hair thing woolie pointed out, the Rockstar one is nice but just reminds me of "My Dad the Rockstar" too much, and yeah the Kung Fu outfit just isn't quite there either. I think it's more apparent when everyone else has like a bunch of good designs. Even though Korsica only has 4 options, all of them hit (Well maybe not 3 day weekend). And while CNMN has more jokey costumes they still look good.
HE DIDN'T GET TO SEE THE 808 CAT ATTACK NOOOOOOOOOOOO
What a journey, loved the playthrough!
Now those doors are open.
the R in spectra stands for RRRAS POO TEEN
If this game isn't a GOTY contender, then I call bs.
Honestly it feels Elden Ring level of "Well just give them the damn trophy now" locked in GOTY.
Woolie it is LESS paul, its named after a guy named Les Paul
Not much of a shipping person usually but Chai and Peppermint had such great chemistry I kinda wish the game ended with them dating. But they're great as friends too, so I'm glad either way.
The game takes place over a total of about 2 or 3 days, really not enough time for any kind of romance to form between anyone.
@@MattManDX1 never stopped writers before, and the epilogue has a time skip, but I'm fine either way
Peppermint can have a crush on Korsica and still end up with Chai.
@@planguy9575 I wouldn't want to overcomplicate the story and their friendship with relationship drama (plus the actual shipping community would probably raise hell knowing them), although on second thought they could probably get away with a comedic love triangle in a dlc or something
@@SinnerBeta I don't really think any relationship is likely. If anything I'd imagine Peppermint keeps her crush on Korsica while any actual relationship development happens between Chai and Peppermint. Korsica is generally oblivious to the shenanigans.
