About the imperfect perfect freeze: Henry actually has an imperfect perfect freeze, allowing some units who are near the inner edge of Henry’s attack to escape without the assistance of the Cat Cannon. It’s usually impractical to know this, but hey whenever it happens it’s cool.
I believe you are wrong here. Henry does have a perma freeze on your units. So how do some units still move? Simple. A level zero thunderbolt style is enough to turn it into a non perfect freeze.
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbb It isn’t ever supposed to or probably ever going to happen. It’s just a cool fact someone found through nothing more than curious testing
I love when I have a stack of can can cats, their attacks get synchronized thanks to a boss shockwave, and the can can stack one shots a relatively high hp boss lol
I wasn't aware of the framehitting mechanic on the base, but that makes complete sense and in retrospect... I can't believe I have never tried to do that. Great video! I have been enjoying the analysis content a lot and I don't know of any other youtube channels that are filling this niche, so I think you might have struck gold!
To be fair, when spawning units, you don't have to tap their icon when the bar is done and it lights up. You can tap the icon a little bit early and it will spawn the unit exactly when the unit is available. The timing is surprisingly lenient.
In some other games like games where you can jump, spamming jump key will usually have worse timings than timing it, maybe person above you thought it applies to tbc too@@Delmont_The_Delusional
Another frame perfect that wasn’t mentioned was when you exit the game on the frame where your base reaches 0 health. If you do this on stages with continues allowed, you will be able to resume the battle even though your base was at 0 health.
Man you're epic Lucas stopped making videos like this a long ago, and you make them even better I know that funny cat game is not THAT complex, but I hope you find more topics like this since they're very interesting
One time I had a frame perfect interaction where as soon as the boss spawned it died right before my units were pushed away. To me it was definitely very cool and definitely not something you see everyday when playing the game
13:48 also another thing is in levels like puffer planet you can knockback puffsley with damage and if you use sniper item (i dont no if it works with the unit) you can knockback a enemy behind pufflsey
My theory is that the game prioritizes abilities over units, thus the unit with the double money ability (can-can ) gets the favor and gets it’s ability activated, I mean technically they hit it at the same frame, so in order for the game not to lag or crash or something else, it just does it like that But if this theory were true, you could technically have x number of units with only 1 ability and still proc, tho this is hard to put to test
Oh nice you talked about that Base one, it was so weird to me when it happened for the first time with A. Bahamut, I almost thought he was able to hit a 1hp base with his fast attack animation before the shockwave appears
I had no cyberpunk for some reason and no other good gacha units for this so sniper (pre true form) was the only gacha cat I used it's not the biggest achievement ever but I think it's still probably the most impressive clear I've managed in battle cats and it was surprisingly fun too
"knowledgable" BC player here, your explanation was basically correct lmao it checks if it was killed by an ability or not, however if it didn't it just results as a null value (-1, which it was already set to) if it is however, it checks the ability and applies it which overwrites the null value (which is now the ID of the ability) TLDR: checks for ability on hit, if no ability the value is set to -1 which is a null value, if it is, then it overwrites the null value (not 100% accurate explanation but good enough lol) as for everything else, you actually said some stuff which i didnt even know about, very informative video
Very interesting video, never heard of frame-hits, Z-kill Bahamut looks so cursed xP One other frame perfect interaction I know is with the dodge ability: when a unit has a dodge ability and is attacked multiple times at the same frame (most often happens when there's a stack of enemies attacking), there's a chance that even if the dodge ability activates, the unit would still get hit.
With perfect fram attacks it also works with enemies eg. If you knock back 2 capys and they're perfectly in sync, they won't move through your meatshields as fast but they will be doing x2 damage and kill something that may only usually get knocked back from a single attack if that makes sense
Finally, a battle cats video comparing it to GD! also, the comparison, is like Maze of Justice, a Blade of Justice remake where everything is deco, but the actual path to victory is INSANELY randomized.
Wtf i just got this video in my recommended not even 30 seconds after I beat floor 30 using the exact strategy used in the intro (sending a perfectly timed mohawk but with a kasli in the back instead)
For Z Kill with Bahamut Cat, it works since when the enemy is hit at the same time, the state of the enemy will change the next frame. Since they attac at the same frame, the enemy will receive the traits of their attac before updating its state. (this is just a theory but I made a Battle Cats game and can confirm that it can happen)
You have no idea how much adrenaline I get from buffering frame perfect spawns with 4 meatshields on baron Seal with speed up. Or crazed cat + Manic eraser 1 second inbetween spawns on Horrorpotamus.
My favorite frame perfect interaction is in the first Growing Purple, where if awakened bahamut hits the base, it will kill the gory black and doge dark, get knocked back by SBK, and then perfectly hit and get hit by SBK at the same time, killing SBK and getting knocked back. It works every time.
not sure if this is quite relevant here but I think since cats attack first in the order of operations if a cat has an ability like freeze or weaken and the enemy and cat hit each other the same from the enemy will not attack in the case of freeze or attack weakened in case of weaken
Frame Perfect Momento: In August Gauntlet I (Houseguests 1 - 10) if you bring Rich Cat combo (Itchy Riches & Offshore Accounts) and you inmediately deploy Bullet Train you can kill Zroco when BOSS Wave happen, not enough with that you can also trigger Lord Enma attack Another Frame Perfect interaction is with Li'l Dark and Wild Doge
One time my Kai was about to kill the tomb and I knew she would come back, but at the same time, the rare zombie tank (I don't remember his name) attacked and the tomb died immediately.
Reminds me of using balrog to kill ulala at floor 40, balrog hits ulala like a single frame before ulala does his hit, and nothing else can be on the field because it will mess it up with the range and the time they start attacking
Idk if this counts but I do remember having to sync capies in Morning Rush Hour so that all of them delete 1 meatshield instead of 3 Weird how if there are alot of Mohawks standing at the same range anway from the capies and if the Capies are perfectly synced(including position ofc) they will all target the same Mohawk Another level where you can try this is Out of Despair
That has to be the longest intro I've ever seen in a video. Also one time I was playing Moon and Mitama and Bun Bun killed each other at the exact same time.
I think the way frame hits work is it says that an enemy died to 2 different units and if either of those units have an effect like a killer or money up then it applies that effect which makes me curious about if you kill something with a frame hit with like double bounty and another double bounty
I once got a frame perfect hit from catasaurus on cat ticket chance! When the metal hippo spawned and my catasaurus' frame perfect hit was a critical so the metal hippo instantly died
By the way, the Z-Kill occurring as long as the enemy dies the same frame a Z-Killer hits it, means that having a Gardener Cat attacking a Zombie gives it a 1 in 9 chance of being Z-Killed. If you can manage to stack 9 Gardener Cats exactly 1 frame apart from each other that would always give you a Z-Kill. Not practical but just thought it was funny
I think Pc timeEst named the run "The PC run" because 1. He played in a PC 2. Everything he did mattered cuz *one single misclick would add additional pressure to the player* 3. Idk
Watching the PC run gives me anxiety. I know that if they screw up a single deploy of manic mowhawk by just a few frames, all your dragons are gone, completely killing your momentum.
i dont know if this is frame perfect i just use cat cannon in scorching sand and hit all enemy except the one with wave immune so it didnt get knockback and it get knockback by sniper the deadeye

I saw this when I was watching my trapped d'arktanyan and it was so painful seeing him being SO CLOSE to escaping but just barely not.
I’m so

Did not say that and no

"Yulala Finger"
That's what Lucas like to call
bro why none reply this?
Idk
What do you mean by that 🤨
one frame fact you didnt mention: if both yours and the enemy base go down to 0 at the same time, your base will get 1 health and you'll win!
Oh yeah I think I’ve seen something like that before
happened to me one time when doing sol 4*
Tbh this would only happen with zombies
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbb It isn’t ever supposed to or probably ever going to happen. It’s just a cool fact someone found through nothing more than curious testing
@@Geology051it's very possible with zombies
I love when I have a stack of can can cats, their attacks get synchronized thanks to a boss shockwave, and the can can stack one shots a relatively high hp boss lol

I remember how once in ul my btrain clipped thru like 10 enemies and activated boss 💀. Frame perfects are just soo wierd in cat geam.

This is actually very useful if you can master it. It allows you to meatshield just as perfectly as the CPU can and it really helps.
I really should have scrolled a bit more comments in the video didn't I? I literally never knew of other people with this knowledge.
@@juancarlosmedina3597you never tried to rapidly tap a unit before and accidentally find this out?
In some other games like games where you can jump, spamming jump key will usually have worse timings than timing it, maybe person above you thought it applies to tbc too@@Delmont_The_Delusional
Yeah that buffering is ungodly helpful 😂

It happened to me one time

I know that funny cat game is not THAT complex, but I hope you find more topics like this since they're very interesting
it's absurdly complex but only if you hyperanalyze it down to its very foundation
Lucas fell off
This stuff was what made Lucas content stick out to me, good to see someone carry on the torch

The production quality on your videos is super nice, you’re very underrated!
returning player of a few years. Got the game again abt 2 weeks ago. never knew all of these mechanics, this was really helpful
5:06 i always love it when geometry dash is mentioned literally anywhere not gd related
Me too!
dude... the quality of your video is insane. great job :)
I agree, Saki is the best uber, especially with strong talents now.
My theory is that the game prioritizes abilities over units, thus the unit with the double money ability (can-can ) gets the favor and gets it’s ability activated, I mean technically they hit it at the same frame, so in order for the game not to lag or crash or something else, it just does it like that
But if this theory were true, you could technically have x number of units with only 1 ability and still proc, tho this is hard to put to test
What happens if like Cancan and Bullet train get the kill on the same frame? do you get more money?
@@zombifiedoll1388 double money ability doesn’t stack
Oh nice you talked about that Base one, it was so weird to me when it happened for the first time with A. Bahamut, I almost thought he was able to hit a 1hp base with his fast attack animation before the shockwave appears

I always buffer my inputs to get frame perfect mohawks so it's not insanely hard. Also I just use talented Balrog to lmao Yulala out of existence
Yulala with ubercarry is a joke

0:34 Not to be that guy , but ... TERRARIA MUSIC !!!!!1!!!
when i accidentaly do a frame perfect boss wave thing i feel like a god
even though it was pure accident and not on purpose
I really love the terraria music in this video!
Keep it up!
REAL!!!!!!!!
this is a good solar sands esque channel. I hope you get big! this is great stuff
God, your production quality for such an unsuspectingly complex game always astounds me. Fantastic work!
Framehits can also be seen in floor 47 when owl brow and crazed moneko seemingly giving owlbrow crits randomly when owlbrow should not have crits
11:28 this is why I use a maxed out thief cat
personally ive NEVER had idi trade with puff, she ALWAYS seems to come out on top. idk why
Finally some battle cats content with thought put behind it. Next topic of discussion: the art of speed running?

they should update the framerate from 30 fps to 30.5 fps so that mmohawk timing is frame-perfect
Wtf i just got this video in my recommended not even 30 seconds after I beat floor 30 using the exact strategy used in the intro (sending a perfectly timed mohawk but with a kasli in the back instead)
Sad to tell you but timings on floor 30 are easier than in floor 40
You can even beat Floor 30 with crazed cat and not manic mohawk
12:22 this actually happend to me when i was trying to get EoC ch2 superior treasures.
Just a first few minutes in the video and you have already earned a subscriber
Another banger! Great stuff man!

I put my meat shields on frame perfect deploys on every stage I play. It’s not difficult. Just tap it about 1/4 of a second before it’s ready.
Me: thinking only spamming cats
The community: **calculates*
My favorite frame perfect interaction is in the first Growing Purple, where if awakened bahamut hits the base, it will kill the gory black and doge dark, get knocked back by SBK, and then perfectly hit and get hit by SBK at the same time, killing SBK and getting knocked back. It works every time.
5:12 basically a top 150 demon
not sure if this is quite relevant here but I think since cats attack first in the order of operations if a cat has an ability like freeze or weaken and the enemy and cat hit each other the same from the enemy will not attack in the case of freeze or attack weakened in case of weaken
Frame Perfect Momento:
In August Gauntlet I (Houseguests 1 - 10) if you bring Rich Cat combo (Itchy Riches & Offshore Accounts) and you inmediately deploy Bullet Train you can kill Zroco when BOSS Wave happen, not enough with that you can also trigger Lord Enma attack
Another Frame Perfect interaction is with Li'l Dark and Wild Doge
Funne
Congrats on 1k subs man
I only now noticed that your voice sounds similar to that of Terrasteel.

this is so interesting lol, nice vid
Wow that was really good
i'm loving this kind of content dude
keep up the good work
The frame hit with the zkill ability has happened to me so many times
The only one I’ve seen before is bear vs doge dark, it’s always really satisfying to watch when doing xp stages
also, black gory and seafarer's evolved form trades as well. I discovered this while grinding sweet xp.
I once got a frame perfect hit from catasaurus on cat ticket chance! When the metal hippo spawned and my catasaurus' frame perfect hit was a critical so the metal hippo instantly died
so the frame perfect base kill i managed to do on the challenge battle when im like chapter 2. it set my score to be the integer limit
By the way, the Z-Kill occurring as long as the enemy dies the same frame a Z-Killer hits it, means that having a Gardener Cat attacking a Zombie gives it a 1 in 9 chance of being Z-Killed. If you can manage to stack 9 Gardener Cats exactly 1 frame apart from each other that would always give you a Z-Kill. Not practical but just thought it was funny
frame perfect levels are impossible for me. any level with Bakoo or Doremi is not fun for me to cheese
do you remember when you installed battle cats and you expected to have cats and dogs fighting together?
That 1hp frame thingy happened to me with my uber (sharpshooter) at a random level in eoc 2
Terraria music. Also very good video :)
I think Pc timeEst named the run "The PC run" because
1. He played in a PC
2. Everything he did mattered cuz *one single misclick would add additional pressure to the player*
3. Idk
I remember accidentally clipping A. Bahamut once.
It was hilarious
00:01 the boss was so op that players even how strong got kecked
the video: help the macho cat is too cheesy
Watching the PC run gives me anxiety. I know that if they screw up a single deploy of manic mowhawk by just a few frames, all your dragons are gone, completely killing your momentum.
Great video I love the terraria music
I had a frame perfect while fighting with the alien queen bee when a browlo flew directly into my dartanyans sword drop
I had gotten a boss kill on Ch3 Brazil with Boshi or Cutter idk who did it but it was cool.
I’ve found that Awakened bahamot can have all three interactions against the black kangaroo. (Assuming they one shot each other)
Epic terraria music
can't believe I just gao'd the stage. Might try it again with a cooler loadout.
Another frame perfect trade I've noticed is Immortal Yukimura and Cadaver bear
Give this guy an award, the effort he put into these vids, and the math 😂 IT IS INSANE!
i cheese this stage w balrog every time it comes out, strengthened one hits fo like 400k and it just cheeses the whole shit
Comparing nine circles and acropolis to far over 50 two-frame perfects is crazy

5:05 weird coincidence, i was actually already making a GD level just like this, lol
Isn’t another frame perfect interaction when the enemy base and your base die at the same time your bases hp is set to 1 and you win?
HAH luckily I have mizurrin she can tank and warp immune
i dont know if this is frame perfect
i just use cat cannon in scorching sand and hit all enemy except the one with wave immune so it didnt get knockback and it get knockback by sniper the deadeye
u make some of the best battle cats content ur like lucas iv for 2023 players 😊
ramen and doge dark have a neat interaction
We got the terraria music over here! Les go
I once did a base boss wave frame hit thing totally by accident
I did a trade with LeBoin and lil UFO cat and they both hit at the exact same frame.
love the music of this vid
Wait which treasures change the amount of time an enemy is frozen?
i applaud you for using terraria music bro i listen to stuff more better with familiar music
Terrario music as background music hits
99% yapping
1% perfect interactions
While playing love metel hippope (hard) one of the metel hippoes die when the boss spawned
The first song is terraria night song i think
