There is one option that I thought of that should have made this list, but only if you think about it. Viriti from Kid Iccarus Uprising. She has tactical bombs that spread over large areas, bombs that freaking chase after their targets, and large seed bombs that explode into three homing missiles. If you think about it she is a great list candidate here.
Oscar, props to you for your #7 pick. He's my favorite partner from that game. I think the main reason Explosion was nerfed in 5th gen was so people wouldn't abuse it in Triple Battles. I mean, one KABOOM and half of your opponent's team could be obliterated. Obvious #1 is obvious. But still a great choice.
awww, seeing Wheatley and Bobbery on this list made me smile :) and bravo for mentioning Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness! I love that game. And yay for Bomberman!
Bomberman stadium, the only game I have ever seen where in a group of people playing someone promised to eat someone's first born child if they were touched with a curse. The intensity, the yelling, and all, it's the best PvP game ever.
Tons. He could've been a candidate for Musician Fighters as well, though I'd actually put Sharp higher myself because he's the only one to actually deal damage with his song. He can also use the Long Spears that Moblins drop in Wind Waker. He has even used boomerangs, the Ball and Chain, shields (Shield Bash), seeds, and even a freaking candle. I haven't seen him use an axe or scythe yet, though.
Personally prefer the "Demolitions Expert" over the "Mad Bomber" archetype. There's something about an outwardly calm, collected, and unflappable professional handleing overwhelmingly destructive equipment that makes the explosion somehow more satisfying. Like it's the product of an dedicated artist rather than the whim of a lunatic. Makes the explosive aftermath feel more intentional and personal.
Green Scorpion, you're awesome at these videos, but the top 10 Snipers in games was the best, especially the ending, so make more of those endings if you could
@#10: one does not simply leave the greatest video game here off the list. aniway, great list. i was expecting a top 10 snipers, since you hinted that in the las video, but that's probbably coming up. also, another idea: top 10 short blade wielders: daggers, kunai, hunting knives, AC hidden blades. if you make these 2, all of my favorite weapons: axes, swords, sniper rifles and daggers will be covered :)
Hey, as another candidate for a possible weapons month, Top Ten Jacks of all Trades. Video game individuals who are well rounded in terms of their choice of weapons and carry many of them. Multiple different variations of a weapon can be included as long as it differs from their other weapons. Master Chief, Megaman, Link, Samus, The Pokemon Trainer, Kirby, Jack Cayman (Not because he carries multiple weapons, bu because he improvises his surroundings), Red mage, the list continues...
I have a bit of a problem with #4, as there is someone also from Mt. battle that also uses this tactic, but with A legendary trio along with some other pokemon.
I think a small honorable mention should go to Bentley from the Sly Cooper games. Not only does he have your regular explosive bombs but he also has some that can put enemies to sleep and confuse them into fighting each other.
Have you ever played the Sly Cooper series? In that series is a bomber. His name is Bentley the turtle. While in Sly 1 you can't play as him (nor can you play as Murray), in Sly 2 & 3 he is a playable character. He can use normal bombs, trigger bombs the he throws and detonates remotely, use bombs to confuse enemies into attacking each other, uses bombs to put enemies to sleep AND has an item called a grapple cam which he can use to distract enemies & make it self destruct, killing the bad guys.
Wheatly... I cried when you flew out into space. Like everyone says. Yea your evil, but your funny and awesome! I will miss you... Good list, I agree with almost everyone :)
"But everything he made blew up in his face." Well I can see why: the bomb in the back with wires connecting to it all over the place. Now exactly a good idea for a power source, or any kind of source for that matter. XD
I have no doubt that Nightmare from Metroid Fusion would be on there. Sure, the player can't use him since he's a boss, but he WAS created specifically to be a gravity-controlling bio-weapon, and he has made every top ten creepiest/messed up/scariest/most disgusting bosses list I have seen so far.
There's only a few I'd give about this list, it's one of the harder ones. I would put Techies amongst one of the top, but the one in mind that takes the cake for this one for me is Overwatch's Junkrat. His grenade launcher counts, right?
Personally I would give Ratchet some credit. While he's not strictly a bombardier, he has mastered mines, regular bombs, Cryomines, Bouncer bombs and the deadliest of them all, the Constructo Bomb, which can be customised to skyrocket enemies with shrapnel. xD
There are a few certain characters in videogames that use shields, not only for defense but bash them aside, charge and push out of the way or some other alternation
I think the only time Link ever uses a musical instrument as part of a battle is against Malladus, and that only reveals his weak spot. Sharp in Majora's Mask, however, plays the Melody of Darkness, which deals damage to you every second.
Could you do the a request for weapons week? As I'm sure Top Ten Gunslingers is coming soon enough. My request is... TOP TEN VIDEO GAME LANCE WIELDERS! I'd like to see how you handle that, PLUS the Lance is my third favorite weapon (you've already covered The Scythe and The Sword PLUS The Whip which is number 4) oh and the bo-staff :)
If you don't know or haven't played the game. In red dead revolve their is a character known as Pig Josh. He was an ex-circus performer and his main weapon is dynamite i think. He has tons of it strapped to himself. I was kind of expecting him to be on this list. But if you haven't played the game i guess its okay than.
List of weapons. Daggers, knuckles, pickax, clubs, poles or staves, crossbows, chain weapons like flails, shield, pistols, and sniper. By the way great weapon count down, as usual, and I say your #1 a mile away.
WHEATLEY! ... Sorry, had to get that out of my system as soon as I saw him. XD Anyways, another ver nice list. I look forward to the next one, and I'll keep the advice about Ziggs in mind the next time I play League of Legends. :)
A list of bomb users. It perked my interest right off the bat. I knew Bomberman and the Demoman were gonna be on her, hell even the goblins. But I do wonder why you never put Napalmman on here, but I bet it's under 'Play before put rule', right?
Or maybe top ten Improvised Weapon Users, those who don't specialize and can use anything they pick up and/or make? Frank West (and by extension, Chuck Greene), the Lone Wanderer (and by extension, the Courier), the Dead Island heroes, etc.
Top 10 gun wielders. I know guns are a staple of most FPSs and pretty ubiquitous. But I still think there are characters that embody the weapon better than their peers (in their own game and others.) Or who do things with guns just as improbable as cutting mountains in half with a sword. By this logic, true video game gun wielders could represent an odd balance or constant struggle between skill and pragmatism.
If you do one on gunslingers look up the Disgaea series. More specifically asagi and Rosealine both of them are pretty good at dishing out damage. Asagi using magic to shoot magic bullets that explode and Rosealine pulling out a mini gun
He could actually have made into the hammers list and the whips list, probably even to the snipers list!(If they weren't arguably better choices of course)
19:06 "THUS BEGINS MY THOUSAND YEAR LONG RAIN OF BLOOD!" That should have been used in some kind of movie. XD
Demoman: "One crossed wire, one wayward pinch of potassium chlorate, one errant twitch... and KABLOOIE!"
If she were out at the time, Ziggs would most likely have been replaced with Jinx.
I haven't played a bomberman game in ages! Glad to see he's number 1. He really deserves more recognition.
"What makes me a good Demoman? I WOULDN'T BE SITTING HERE TALKIN TO YA IF I WAS A BAD DEMOMAN!
BOMBS? You want it? It's YOURS, my friend! As long as you have enough- *Cue Fiery Joker Outro*
I really do hope we see Bomberman again sometime in the future. I miss him and his awesome games!
There is one option that I thought of that should have made this list, but only if you think about it. Viriti from Kid Iccarus Uprising. She has tactical bombs that spread over large areas, bombs that freaking chase after their targets, and large seed bombs that explode into three homing missiles. If you think about it she is a great list candidate here.
I definitely should not be the only person who saw #1 coming.
Oscar, props to you for your #7 pick. He's my favorite partner from that game.
I think the main reason Explosion was nerfed in 5th gen was so people wouldn't abuse it in Triple Battles. I mean, one KABOOM and half of your opponent's team could be obliterated.
Obvious #1 is obvious. But still a great choice.
BTW. I love that you made this list. Exposives in video games are awsome!
awww, seeing Wheatley and Bobbery on this list made me smile :) and bravo for mentioning Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness! I love that game. And yay for Bomberman!
I just now noticed that you used my now famous Halo 3 grenade throw clip. Holy shit I just got a smack of nostalgia.
Awesome list. I ROFL'd at the Fluttershy squee at the end.
HAHAHA!! That portion about Link was hilarious and awesome! XD
this list was.....a blast! *cue rimshot and booing*
Too bad overwatch wasn't out yet otherwise junkrat would've definitely been on here.
Oh yeah. He would probably be either number 2 or 3.
Funny enough I always considered those who handled bombs as patient and calculative. This was an interesting top 10 because it shows another light.
oh, oh, i got an idea!
Top 10 Insane Protagonists
I like how at first you were like "No Link is not number 10!" and then after careful thinking you realized he damn well deserves that spot >XD
You should do a Top 10 Transformable Weapons list sometime. You always talk about your love for them on your videos.
Bomberman stadium, the only game I have ever seen where in a group of people playing someone promised to eat someone's first born child if they were touched with a curse. The intensity, the yelling, and all, it's the best PvP game ever.
black powder has been used since the 100bc and was a product created from several early versions of musket like weapons in china.
Tons. He could've been a candidate for Musician Fighters as well, though I'd actually put Sharp higher myself because he's the only one to actually deal damage with his song. He can also use the Long Spears that Moblins drop in Wind Waker. He has even used boomerangs, the Ball and Chain, shields (Shield Bash), seeds, and even a freaking candle. I haven't seen him use an axe or scythe yet, though.
I don't know if you've made a list like this yet, but a list on Video Game's greatest tacticians/tactical fighters would be great.
Personally prefer the "Demolitions Expert" over the "Mad Bomber" archetype.
There's something about an outwardly calm, collected, and unflappable professional handleing overwhelmingly destructive equipment that makes the explosion somehow more satisfying.
Like it's the product of an dedicated artist rather than the whim of a lunatic. Makes the explosive aftermath feel more intentional and personal.
Loved seeing my favorite insane, cackling yordle make the list, and at a respectable #5. Fear the Inferno Bomb!
...Did he just squee at the end?
i like the bombardiers it makes for some really interesting characters, nice list
Well done, as usual!!
Green Scorpion, you're awesome at these videos, but the top 10 Snipers in games was the best, especially the ending, so make more of those endings if you could
You're such a cruel man, you destroyed my dreams of having the Poppy Bros here...
Nah, just kidding, nice countdown :D
@#10: one does not simply leave the greatest video game here off the list.
aniway, great list. i was expecting a top 10 snipers, since you hinted that in the las video, but that's probbably coming up.

For those of you who don't know. Protagonist armour is the special rare X class armour that disables the heroes death in cutscenes.

Aw, no Napalm Man! Dang. And how did I not see White Bomber coming? IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE! Good list either way.
I have a bit of a problem with #4, as there is someone also from Mt. battle that also uses this tactic, but with A legendary trio along with some other pokemon.
I agree with a earlier post, top ten sheild users(sheild as a weapon not just hiding behind)
I think a small honorable mention should go to Bentley from the Sly Cooper games. Not only does he have your regular explosive bombs but he also has some that can put enemies to sleep and confuse them into fighting each other.
if i made a list i would put him in number 4...just because hes not the best in the world

BEHOLD!!!!!
THE BOMBINOMICON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved number 10, it works on so many levels.
ihave a suggestion for a countdown, top 10 videogame healers?
Wouldn't it be better to call Bobbery an admirably sane Bob-omb? LOL
straburyred Boooooo! Get off the stage!
I have no doubt that Nightmare from Metroid Fusion would be on there. Sure, the player can't use him since he's a boss, but he WAS created specifically to be a gravity-controlling bio-weapon, and he has made every top ten creepiest/messed up/scariest/most disgusting bosses list I have seen so far.
Drifblim is my favorite Ghost-Flying Pokémon. It was my favorite partner in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness.
"If i ever see her again, do you know what I'd say?" "I'm in space.."
Yeah!!! Bombardiers!!! Great list overall and what do you think to put Top ten CHAINSAW wielders??!!
There's only a few I'd give about this list, it's one of the harder ones. I would put Techies amongst one of the top, but the one in mind that takes the cake for this one for me is Overwatch's Junkrat.
His grenade launcher counts, right?
Yes, Junkrat is a bomberdier
I was definitely waiting for when Demoman would show up. XD
Personally I would give Ratchet some credit. While he's not strictly a bombardier, he has mastered mines, regular bombs, Cryomines, Bouncer bombs and the deadliest of them all, the Constructo Bomb, which can be customised to skyrocket enemies with shrapnel. xD
Oscar, thanks to you, I have FINALLY started playing LoL. And honestly, it looks like my thing. thanks=)
Please! Thank you for bringing it up!
i didnt even have to watch this whole thing to know who number 1 was. But i did anyway because these videos are great.
Well greenscorpion, I guess you just ended weapons month....
*Glasses on*
... with a bang.
Nope. He ended it with Snipers.
Favorite game grump moments should be a pretty good list. I think I'll do the same.
The soldier is also great for destroying turrets. It has always worked for me.
There are a few certain characters in videogames that use shields, not only for defense but bash them aside, charge and push out of the way or some other alternation
YES!!! the Demoman was in here!!!!! I play him every chance I get!!
A good list. A favorite of mine that didn't make it here is Kage the Kannonier from Brutal Legend.
For the next Weapons Week, how about the Arm Gauntlet or Claws? (Not as in animal claws, but more Wolverine-esque ones).
I think the only time Link ever uses a musical instrument as part of a battle is against Malladus, and that only reveals his weak spot. Sharp in Majora's Mask, however, plays the Melody of Darkness, which deals damage to you every second.
top ten boomerang weilders would be a interesting countdown
Wonderful choices. Some I knew, others I didnt, and there r those I didnt know were bombers
Oh I can see that on the list, definitely.
Bombadier? Bang on!
Yeah, let's hope he cna do it when he comes back. I would love to see the charactes and his opinion and observations
Could you do the a request for weapons week? As I'm sure Top Ten Gunslingers is coming soon enough. My request is... TOP TEN VIDEO GAME LANCE WIELDERS! I'd like to see how you handle that, PLUS the Lance is my third favorite weapon (you've already covered The Scythe and The Sword PLUS The Whip which is number 4) oh and the bo-staff :)
I'll make that as one of my videos coming up! Thats a pretty good suggestion. But i'm gonna make other top 10 videos first. I'll make it soon though.
I know Steve from Minecraft is not specialized in demolition, but he can blast a world apart with explosives made from gunpowder and sand.
How about the creeper
Cyrax from Mortal Kombat. Bombs are his THING.
But it's not what his entire moveset is based around. He also has nets and spinning blade wheels. So we kinda have to deduct some points on Cyrax.
maybe a top 10 hand-to-hand fighters? there are alot of them and it would be nice to see who'd win. my bets on D.K. being on the list.
If you don't know or haven't played the game. In red dead revolve their is a character known as Pig Josh. He was an ex-circus performer and his main weapon is dynamite i think. He has tons of it strapped to himself. I was kind of expecting him to be on this list. But if you haven't played the game i guess its okay than.
If there was a remake of this list, I bet Junkrat would be here.
Top ten bat weilders next? ("Cough" Scout "Cough").
Well, we can safely say Quarter Guy'd be happy to see that one.
I think Fatman's skates are to use the weight of his blast-suit for momentum to translate to speed.
The Green Scorpion did it again!
First
Love your videos man, great work making the top 10 videos :3
Any chance you can do "Shield Wielders" ?
Here's an idea for your next Countdown month: Elements Month, with the Top Ten Pyrokinetics, Hydrokinetics, Aerokinetics, and Geokinetics.
Can you do a top 10 novelty weapons characters?
top 10 Claw Wielders!...n_n good videos *gives him a hug*
List of weapons. Daggers, knuckles, pickax, clubs, poles or staves, crossbows, chain weapons like flails, shield, pistols, and sniper. By the way great weapon count down, as usual, and I say your #1 a mile away.
I am not sure if you know that but the bomb arrow was originally from the GameBoy game Link's awakening.
17:08-17:15
That was the funniest song I have ever heard in my entire life! XD
next time on weapons month: top 10 pilots in video games.
WHEATLEY! ... Sorry, had to get that out of my system as soon as I saw him. XD
Anyways, another ver nice list. I look forward to the next one, and I'll keep the advice about Ziggs in mind the next time I play League of Legends. :)
A list of bomb users. It perked my interest right off the bat. I knew Bomberman and the Demoman were gonna be on her, hell even the goblins. But I do wonder why you never put Napalmman on here, but I bet it's under 'Play before put rule', right?

By this logic, true video game gun wielders could represent an odd balance or constant struggle between skill and pragmatism.
#7 is my favorite, its a walking bomb. how AWESOME is that. #3 is my 2nd favorite.
I like your Top 10 Archers video . u should do another weapons month
man your very well knowledgedf no wonder you make so very well detailed top whatevers pardon the whatever part the lists are always different numbers
If you do one on gunslingers look up the Disgaea series. More specifically asagi and Rosealine both of them are pretty good at dishing out damage. Asagi using magic to shoot magic bullets that explode and Rosealine pulling out a mini gun
top 10 anchor weilders
cant have a bomb themed countdown without bomberman
no one for samus? power bombs, regular bombs, regular missiles, super missiles, and other types of missiles in some games.
i believe the only one you missed was ice missiles
still, lots of explosives, all used to devastating combat effect and some interesting puzzles in the prime series
Nice
I have a suggestion: fear, those who use fear as a weapon you know, like Scarecrow and the Sorrow oh, also Slenderman (MWAHAHA) :3
He could actually have made into the hammers list and the whips list, probably even to the snipers list!(If they weren't arguably better choices of course)
