Zantetsuken is actually very useful if you use dancing blades it basically gives you 3 to 5 charges if you hit enough enemies and you are invulnerable when using it.
Start fight, dancing blade. Then just top of the gauge and fire lvl 5 Zantetsuken with no hassle. Works great for clearing waves of trash mobs on final fantasy difficulty and saves a ton of time.
Yeah it's essentially like raiden shogun burst from genshin impact right
Name of raiden shogun burst is called musou no hitotachi
For me, after knowing how to get lv 5 zantetsuken quite reliably...i dont feel any needs to change to other aeons. Changing Odin is handicapping yourself.
Equip dancing steel to Shiva. Use cold snap and permafrost to ensure the first hit lands
@jmella1788 that's a good idea never tried that, the first hit is the hard part since it's easy to get knocked out of the animation
I don't understand the Zangief entry. He's a grappler. His whole playstyle revolves around getting in on the opponent so then he can mix up with his high damage command grabs. Do you want him to be able to grab you with his highest damage tool from half the screen away or something?
Edit: Yeah, just got to the Shuma entry. Whoever wrote this video has absolutely no idea how command grabs in fighting games work and why they work the way they do
Thing i noticed for number 1, once the sword is equipped just start dodging and the guage fills up pretty fast. So doing it against multiple enemies or aoe attacks is very effective once you know how to use it
Kudos for the spoiler free comment. It's small but appreciated.
@@CourtsmithJames please don't give me too much credit. I was just to lazy to butcher the name or say enemy with an actual health bar
Shout-out to damn near every character's Soul Edge weapon in the Soulcalibur series
Lmao you are so right 😂
Hard disagree on zantetsuken there were multiple easy ways to restack it to 5 plus you could store a full charge zantetsuken for the right moment
I miss outros on whatculture. Is it that hard to say "I've been Jess from whatculture and I hope you all have a good one." or something like that. The no endings is just jarring.
Definitely, it's making me want to never watch their videos since every time it forces me to see a commercial when I was expecting more video.
i do hope you have a good one :)
@@jessmcdonell Aww, you too Jess! Love your videos, just miss the endings. I've been @_smarf_ from youtube and I hope you have a great day lol. ☺
Bro shut up and stop crying
@@Mavsforlife41 I'm not your bro. Bot comment.
"Zantetsuken" number 1 = lack of gameplay ability.
You build up the ability very quickly when fighting normal mobs just by perfect dodging .
And for bosses, you need to equip lighting rod, dance steel and void shift, you stagger the boss, activate limit break then just activate lighting rod, use dance steel and that combo is enought to fill the gauge. Then use Rift Slip to immediately use the LVL5 Zantetsuken .
The rest of the list means nothing to me. Golden Sun was mentioned! Love this! ❤😂
I wish they would come out with a new golden sun game already.
@@kevinburke1325 facts
On the topic of the double-bladed lightsabers/saberstaffs - "If you know where one blade is, then you know where the other blade is too". Basically, most of it's effectiveness came from it being rare, so not many knew how to fight or defend against it, and it's intimidation factor. Which, in fairness, both work very well for a Sith or Dark Jedi using one.
Shadiversity’s “Sellsword Arts ATTACKS the sword community calling us ARMCHAIR WARRIORS that you shouldn’t watch?!” video, has a segment about double bladed swords, in which Shad and Nate talks about, demonstrates how that isn’t true. Don’t take my word for it, go watch video and see for yourself.
I think you were able to negate the gloom sword's effect by fusing it to a different handle
Wow this video is talking complete nonsense about Zantetsuken.
Using it was literally the one recommended build for beating Final Fantasy difficult easily up until some of the more recent DLC stuff made other strats way more viable.
All the other Odin abilities, especially dancing blades, are literally purpose built to synergise with it and build up the charge because they do lots of small hits instead of single big ones.
Unless you are just getting the sword out then not using any other abilities you basically get to fire off 1 ability, that you are invunerable whilst using, to get to max charge and then unleash it and wipe every single trash mob around you and deal major damage to stronger mobs.
“Zantetsuken is bad”.
Skill issue.
Glad to see Golden Sun getting some love, but there is an item in the game called the Fairy Ring that lets your character ignore the cursed effect.Its found in the same secret dungeon that the Thunder Crown is in.
You just fuse the gloom sword onto the end of another weapon, and you take no damage from it.
I would have put in destruction magic scaling in Skyrim.
That ending was very sudden
They always do that in WCG..
Best workaround for the gloom weapons in TotK: fuse the gloom weapon on the outside so it's not the weapon in Link's hand. Enjoy your new badass weaponry, curse-free! 😀
That’s what the Tears of the Kingdom game guide recommends players do. Even the game guide knows it’s not a good idea to hold the Gloom weapons without fusing them.
@krvgames9258 I just used common sense, cuz I didn't use my guide til I absolutely had to. That was one of my biggest regrets with BotW, using a guide pretty much from the start.. ☹️ Having a friend playing through to talk about/figure out stuff was nostalgic aF.
Stats-wise gloom weapons are built for being the outer fuse too, only beat in raw damage output by white/silver Lynel horns, every weapon in the game caps out below gloom weapons as the base weapon without their ability.
Royal guard pristine Claymore caps at a 49 base +10 while the Royal caps at 44 base +10, everything else caps around 38 including the "boss" weapon "upgrades" from things like Colgera and the rock crab.
Gloom Club is literally the only base weapon you can upgrade to a 60 power +10 by itself but not as great a fuse as Silver Lynel item due to the fact it will break before the other part of the weapon.
Too bad that the Gloom weapons have bad durability, so even if you fuse them onto your base weapon, they're going to break before that +25 extra durability threshold for most weapons is reached.
@@timothypitcher7996 I like them for that reason, they are mid-high tier replacement weapon fuses that can still be used as weapons themselves unlike the metal spiked boulders(9 for Zonai version often found pre-fused or in shrines, 15 for normal in camps at the gate), Talus hearts(14 normal, 21 luminous 27 elemental like 33 rare), or flux cores(+10, 20, 32, which gets boosts appropriate to Zonai weapons with the destruction trait oppose to horns adding the cutting bonus) by comparison these deal more damage and can be used as a base weapon if need be. They also counter the bow(it adds +11 fused btw) making the duo of items contrary OP loot, as early game you want the weapons for fusing and late game you want the 60 draw bow and maybe use the item fuse briefly or use them to hold other boss monster parts while risking other weapons.
Edit: as a whole it also fits Gerudo and bone being the strongest early but brittle, Zora/Yiga being the strongest situationally and the Rito/Goron being situational and coming together as a full set with the destruction swords and breeze adding sword/spear and bows for Arial combat.
I'm sure this list could have been filled with weapons that constantly drain your own health. And I mean constantly, not only when swinging the weapon, just having it in your hand is enough. For example there is a dagger in one of the Yakuza games that sets your enemies on fire, but because the dagger is literally on fire it also drains your own health.
somehow this reminded me of "legacy of Kain Soul Reaver".
the protagonist, i think his name was Raziel, is constantly losing health, and always needs to feed.
the only away around this it to find the titular Soul Reaver weapon, which will prevent that constant loss...
but ONLY when he is at FULL health!
PS: the final boss can ONLY be hurt BY the Soul Reaver, which you can ONLY hit him with when you at full health.
he's also a coward who will ONLY attack you when your back is turned!
10 best games in/about outer space would be an awesome list
Jess and Jules are my two favorites from WhatCulture and honestly it’s always amazing to wake up to a list from Jess showing disappointing yet awesome things 😎 Have a great day everyone. 😊
With the right load out you can fill that zantetsuken gauge easily
The Zentetsuken I think its a skill issue hahahaha I use it all the time even on FFmode, it saves a lot of time with rank-and-file enemies and is a saver when it comes to level up fast.
Seems like someone at Whatculture didnt know how to build around the Zan 😂 its broken af and I loved using it
Zantetsuken has a lot of ways to get around the charging required. Dancing Steel + its Darkness accessory is enough for a full charge on 1 move. plus that's what Heavens Cloud and Gungnir are for, to make the charge faster (plus parrying)
It requires more skill, but its totally worth it
I never even used the flame thrower in resident evil 5. I just found it easier to draw him into the chamber going one way an out the other.
on other downside to the double-bladed-lightsaber: you can't use a "saber throw" move unless you turn it half-way off.
this can be a pain when dealing with flying enemies.
Technically doesnt count for this list, but I thought about it since its so recent: No Rest for the Wicked. The Purple Enchantment Items
Giving a purple enchantment to your weapon makes it super powerful, however, it gives you one huge tradeoff. Some of which are typically capable of bricking your character and the weapon and can render even using the weapon completely useless. Like the one where you lose experience on death and damage taken.
The reason it wouldnt count is because you can apply these to any weapon rather than them being a single weapon themselves.
It's always the Catch-22 Frostmourne. Either you pick it up and doom Lordaeron, or you don't pick it up and doom Lordaeron.
So, not to take credit away from Mario 64 for everything that it did, but it wasn't the first 3d platformer. I think it was a game called "Alpha Wave" that came out in 1990.
Unlaboured Flawlessness... is FLAWED!? :o
Fissure the pokemon move because it can give you a instant ko but it fails almost every single time 😂
The winged cap gave me trauma flashbacks
My nominees for the list: Mega Man Battle Networks Dark Chips and Kingdom Hearts Anti Form
In Mega Man Battle Network 4, it has these things called Dark Chips. They are more powerful than regular chip variants, however, the tradeoff is that by using them even once, you lose 1 MAX HP permanently. And there is no way to recover this lost HP at all. You can increase you HP stat, but you can never recover the Max HP loss. This only stops once you lose a total of 500 Max HP, or are down to 1 Max HP. Thats it. Just 1 HP for the rest of the game, post game, everything. In its entirety. That, or you focus on dumping all your stats into HP to bring it above 1, but it will never be as high as it could have been if you never used the Dark Chips in the first place.
In Kingdom Hearts 2, Sora has the Anti Form. This form was designed to be "powerful yet troublesome". While each of Soras Drive Forms in this game specialize in something, and strengthen Sora. The Anti Form provides even more power than the base Drives, but at the cost of everything else. The Anti Form increases Soras speed and agility drastically, and makes moving around for him insanely fast and he is able to evade moves easily, and rapid fire hit targets and take out crowds. The tradeoff is that Sora will lose both partners when using this form, so no backup, he cant use magic or anything else while in this form, he is physically weaker in this form so you are able to strike multiple times, a lot faster, but also those said hits arent as strong, you cannot use items, so you also cannot heal while in this form if you are in danger or in a pinch, you also cannot gain experience from defeated enemies while in this form.
How about sepiku in Elden ring? That ash of war hurts you for a small increase of bleed chance that has to be recharged.
I'd have said R. Mika's Heated Mic Performance would right higher for "not worth it" moves
Golden Sun FINALLY gets coverage. You get a ring that negates Cursed effects for one character... looking at you, Garett.
10 games that failed to distract us from the bad basic functions with crazy abilities
No you use the gloom weapons as materials for fusing. They are harmless that way.
Destiny 2 Beyond Light's Stasis subclass was amazing in PvE but it had to be nerfed cause of course, freezing stuff in PvP is broken and PvP dictates 99% of nerfs in the series.
Love the darkness abilities, but man, Stasis was something else when it first released
Day 2 of asking for 'Games where the bad ending is the canon ending'. The Shadow Hearts series are an example
I'm not going to lie, I've played every resident evil game and I've never seen a flamethrower in my play through 😢
Can't believe you completely ignored the thunder slash from FF9 in favor of Zantetsuken from FFXVI. The FF9 one was actually useless. Commonly used by Beatrix to rain pain upon the party, when you finally get the skill yourself the disappointment cannot be anymore palpable when you realize the damn skill only hits every once in a blue moon, because of one major flaw; that it's accuracy is set to zero.
Martyrs Bolt from Dragons Dogma 2
To use gloom weapons just attach it to a normal weapon and you'll be fine.

This thing per definition does not make me work for it. What about "unlaboured" did you not understand?
Why do Jess's videos seem to cut off early? I have been seeing this for a while now and wondering if it's an editing problem.
Whatculture decided to stop doing endings. It's a really weird choice. Not just Jess's videos.
@@_Smarf_ Supposedly ppl turn off during the outros and that goes bad with the yt algo...
Nah Zantetsuken isn't bad. All the other abilities of it charge up the gauge so getting to level 5 isn't that hard. Dancing Steel does have a long wind up time but you can just use Will of the Wykes beforehand so you don't get knocked out of Dancing Steel's startup. Also don't equip the cheat ring that lets you auto combo and instead equip one of the items to increase Zantetsuken gauge gain and you'll be getting to level 5 quickly and often.
Tell me you've never played FF16 without telling me you've never played FF16 😂
Honestly, the Gloom weapons are not worth the effort at all, and not just because of their Gloom Toll effect. Their durability is also poor, so they end up breaking rather quickly, even when you fuse them onto a weapon to negate their flaws.
wow
So tell me, do any of these weapons involve a risk-reward tradeoff scenario? 🤔
Haha I second that
You are SOOOOOOOOOO wrong about the saberstaff in Jedi Academy. First of all that's the correct name, not double sword. That would be the dual wielding of 2 single bladed sabers. Obviously you haven't played the game :). At the time, 2003, you must have been a kid.
About the "ultimate moves". They are called kata, same as in martial arts. Whether you use single, dual sabers or the saberstaff, which is my very favorite because of the spinning, buzzsaw move, all of them have kata. The saberstaff has 2 and the 2nd one is the ultimate. It's the butterfly jumps, which Ray Park (Darth Maul) is performing in the 1999 movie Star Wars The Phantom Menace.
As for the kick, combining it with force push, it's very convenient for pushing enemies off bridges and other high places, to their death. It's not meant to do damage by itself but rather get the enemy off balance. It's of strategic importance.
Weird how lower budget channels with less staff have the time to time stamp videos... Class it up...
Alright that last one was just a lie. Dont spread misinformation. It first of all, doesnt even take long literally one move fills the entire guage or up to 3 bars. Perfect Dodge attacking also fills it. And thats pissport easy to do. You can fill it in literally 20s. It doesnt take long and the reward literally is worth it.
Dumbest take on number 1. Use Orin’s other abilities to power up Lvl 5 Z. It’s almost overpowered
I strongly say that the Safi'jiiva from Monster Hunter World is the worst
Lol anyone else thought Bloodborne would be on here?😅
Okay you really don't understand fighting game balance
Im 2nd
Oh wow I'm first
The Gloom Sword has a good reason why it’s a bad idea to use. Gloom is a bad status effect. It drains Link’s health and while the weapon is powerful, it’s more effective when fused with another weapon.
Y’all have ZERO idea what you’re even talking about with some of these
