    Well, it happened. This is now the most viewed video on my channel! I honestly did not expect so many views all of a sudden, and even though I'm a little late for Thanksgiving, I can say that I'm very thankful for all the support I've gotten on this video. Since I can't make community posts, I'll ask a question here. Should I make another ranking video like this one some time in the future? If so, what should I rank? Ranking videos are fun to make, but I feel like I should get some input before making another. Again, thanks a lot everyone, I really mean it

      For one thing, congrats on landing a combo on every single beat. I've beaten the game, but I couldn't do all of these no matter how much I practiced. This was a great video!
      For another... hm, not sure what other rankings you could do. Just concerning Mother 3 stuff, maybe you could rank all enemies and/or bosses by difficulty. Or rank battle songs just by how much you subjectively enjoyed each one, because some are just fine for what they are, and others are legit masterpieces.

      Yea idk why there are only 3 combo sounds either, it not only makes 16 hit combos less satisfying but makes combos harder for 80% of the songs due to the way the character instruments adjust for speed. Maybe they didn't have the space for the sound files, the game does push the hardware to its limit in terms of sound design.

    @RNBW20 2 роки тому +72

    I was doing some combos of Battle Against the Masked Man, and I learned that the beat for the song actually goes into half time during a distorted version of the love theme for about 16 beats or so. I’m fairly certain this is the only tempo change in the entire song, and only makes the song more difficult if you’re trying to 16-hit combo the song
    Also, even after the turn the Masked Man attacks Flint, you’re still able to combo the song until the flashback

    if I'm really paying attention, I can pretty consistently get 4 hit combos on almost any piece, but anything beyond that is pretty much outside the scope of my capabilities, idk if my simulator screws up the beat timing a bit or if I just suck in general, but frankly just spamming PK Love n' Freeze seemed to work out ok in the end

    I super agree with Bothersome Guys(#2). I managed almost every other notes 16 combos quite well but this theme drived me crazy. I feel like it has narrower time for accepting note as valid.

    Back beat battle is one of the hardest ones, not because its hard to get it, but because its very hard to start one before the hame wont let you due to its very slow tempo

    13:27 It looks easier to me when you pay attention specifically to the hit effects on the enemy rather than anything else, assuming it keeps repeating that one pattern.

    13:27 #8 was my first 16 hit combo. I always thought of it as: 1 2 - 1 2 3 - 1 2 3 4 - 5 6. But even that took me more than one playthrough to do.

  • @Fronkaos
    @Fronkaos 5 місяців тому +2

    I know this isn't common knowledge but Strong One and Strong One (Masked Man) are not in their respective 15/8 and 29/16 timesignatures! Those are only rough approximations of what is actually going on with this song. It's actually 4/4 with crazy tempo changes that give you this weird sounding song. Amazingly because of this the heartbeat is actually quarter notes all the way through. (Link for more info in below)
    This video will explain better: ua-cam.com/video/Qp9PL4EbWi4/v-deo.html
    If you're not okay with opening links from strangers the video is called "Everyone was wrong about the Strong One (Masked Man) Time Signature" by Cadence Hira

    I know it's too late, but your Even Drier Guys combo is so good. 🤤 Seems to be in C minor, correct me if wrong.
    Got the best Lucas Keytar variation, started at the beginning of the measure with 2 beats so the legato could be heard on the next 2 beat measure, AND the melody allowed to finish from a G to a C for resolution. It's beautiful.

    I find it funny how you list back beat battle first. I thought it was simple (and…it is), but it’s now become the most difficult song for me to combo, besides battle against the masked man and stuff like that.

  • @ParaternalSkies64
    @ParaternalSkies64 10 днів тому

    For some reason, Hustle for Pride and Smashing Song of Praise are some of my best 16-hit combo songs. So much so that I lost against the Steel Mecharilla because the 16-hit combo made Lucas unable to heal Kumatora in time

    I've never had trouble with either but tbh I feel Back Beat Battle and More Mischievous Blues should be switched bc I know hitting the offbeats can be tricky at first for alot of people and a slightly higher bpm really isn't too important

    Strangely enough, Fate/Serious was always incredibly easy for me compared most of the other beats that are below and above it. I'm surprised it's so high on the list, since the beat is actually really easy to hear and then follow.
