@@admiralAlfonso9001 nah people liked her before she even got a new character announced anyway. Not sure why they decided to just make her absolutely busted
To be fair, in the case of Leroy, it seems to have been at least partly intentional *spite* from Harada himself--EDIT: at least for his part in the character's development--instead of pure greed. Still not okay, but at least in that case the (main) motivation was provably not greed even if it was something at least as petty.
@@tobydunn7240 negans more of a scrub killer, but every character released recently have been problem, Lidia and Fahk were both considered to be top 1 until their nerfs and Kuni is a top tier who’s small model basically makes her non existent most of the time
I’ve been saying it since she dropped, that grab super actively moves your character down the tier list because of how important damage is in this game. She’s the only character in the game who can DROP YOUR CHARACTER DOWN THE TIER LIST MID GAME
I literally looked at this character day one and thought "I mean... this doesn't look that bad as some other dlc fighters." and then I started seeing the videos that explained her better than my brain did and I just thought "Jesus f*cking christ who at Arc and Bandai smoked what and can I have some?"
Look at leroy, fahkumram, lidia, ganyu from tekken. Then look back to this. Oh yeah, is definitely bandai works. (Is just a joke, I am pretty sure bandai doesn't exactly make these characters, it was the dev team. Is just, you would think after leroy from tekken, bandai will take notice on the character they dev team is putting out, so that another busted character won't happen again. But I guess they are allowing it then)
Between telling Piccolo to go “harder” and this whole “step on me” schtick, is there something you’re not willing to admit, Gohan? Also: When the the 1st form of a boss character (Labcoat) feels more like a “Final Boss” than the 2nd one (Majin).
The whole "Broken on purpose" thing isn't even exclusive to DBFZ. If you utter the names Leroy or Fakhurahm around a Tekken 7 player, you'll strike fear into their salt filled hearts. This is a very deliberate tactic, likely from the suits higher up at Bandai Namco.

@@nameynamd9212 True, although at that point, a character that is "If I survive x seconds you lose at least 1 stock" is still really, REALLY good. Although I stopped following the meta past Banjo, so I didn't know Kazuya was that good.
I think it's fine imo for her to nerf damage, but I think the best way to balance it is to either A. Just decrease damage for limited time without buffing her damage, B. Just buffer her damage for a limited time, or C. Keep it the way it is but when you tag out the debuff is gone, same with switching her out with a dragon rush swap
@@justamugofcocoThe fact that she’s the only character with a debuff and it affects all aspects of the opponent’s damage options alone is enough for it to be removed. It’s a ridiculous mechanic of the game.
Not really. Why nerf the damage when you can tod the opponent off a kii blast for 3 bars with zamastu? Why choose to try to make use of a debuff when you can just kill
I know that there’s a common misconception about Brawl Meta Knight being banned, because in the end he was never banned since basically 75% of players played Meta Knight, no one would wanna play tournaments, which included Japanese players. So it was up to TOs to say whether he was banned or not. So because TOs wanted people to actually go to Brawl Tournaments, most tournaments never banned him So Labcoat 21 getting banned this fast already outclassed Brawl Meta Knight
Meta Knight technically did get banned, it's just that the backlash and decrease of players would be so massive that they had to leave it to the TOs. An optional ban, if you will. I still agree LC21 outclasses Meta Knight though.
Well one is a game in which you only control one character while the other is a game in which you can easily compensate for a character since you control three.
You're correct on your history but banning a character in a team game simply isn't the same as doing so in one where you play a single character, it's much more pheasible both for the player's to recover and go justify to everyone

Okay, no joke, that first minute of the video is THE COOLEST thing I have ever seen from DBFZ content creation. That fight scene got me chills, and the video "didn't even start yet." Massive respect to not only that, but using the new Camera Mod with such efficiency. The quality of this is BEYOND great, and you are an actual inspiration. 5:45 - I mean is he wrong 8:03 - The debuff was an actual menace to this game's... everything. The meta, its fanbase, the characters in it. I feared this game would die due to this one move. Good thing hArcSys said they would do more updates. The MetaKnight analogy as well as average tournament time fact really put into perspective how scary this one abomination of a move could be.
10:22 what’s crazy is that Meta Knight was never banned from big tournaments, just part of a suggested rule set for brawl tournaments. The reason it didn’t go into effect was that Japanese players wouldn’t go to Apex (the biggest smash tournament at the time) if they couldn’t use MK. Lab Coat 21 is just entirely different. I haven’t payed attention to her that much because I’ve gotten into other games than DBFZ and busy with my personal, I knew she was good but not this good.

I’m glad you addressed how hard it is to avoid her debuff grab-some people just hop into training mode and dodge *just* the grab without any mix ups or set up at all and say they don’t understand why people are complaining about it- and it also gave more clarity to me as to why she’s so broken. Damn 21 how come your mom lets you have 6 lows?
bandai really said "My oc is the COOLEST,STRONGEST,BESTEST OF THEM ALL, FRICK YOU >:(" before the recent patch honestly, I ain't even mad, I'd do the same lmao
Seriously, the editing is so good I can't fucking tell what's gameplay and whats editing until some funny shit that's completely out of character happens
I will admit I mainly purchased LC21 since I wanted to play as a "good" version of A21, since the default version outside of the story is her evil version, and I really like personality of her good version in the story. I had no idea she was this purposefully broken however, its nuts. Impressive presentation and showcasing of your points too btw, both entertaining and very insightful.
@@crackersandpie136 Yeah, as long as they nerf her to the point where she's still good but in the "this doesn't feel like cheating anymore" good. Inb4 they go overboard and nerf her to the ground...
Seeing characters like this always confuse me, since there's so many easy ways to nerf LC21 while also leaving her as a strong character. Casuals will still wanna buy the character for... aesthetic purposes, and more hardcore players will want to buy her as she's got a really good toolkit, but doesn't steamroll the entire roster for literally no reason. It also continues to confuse me how bad Arcsys keeps fucking up on zoning. They're either Frieza levels of bad, or they're an entirely different archetype that also happens to have the best zoning tools. Like, Z Broly has some of the best zoning tools despite being a fucking grappler with super armor on almost every option. LC21 has great zoning options while also being a rushdown. It makes absolutely no sense. There's easy ways to nerf her, imo, while still leaving her identity as a character intact. Like, the 21% damage debuff could easily only last until a character is downed on either team and the "next round," so to speak, starts. That still allows the character to have her own unique design choice, while being balanced around the aggressive playstyle that Arcsys created and be balanced around the strong comeback mechanics that the game uses. Or hell, maybe even only make it until the character is switched out, that way an entire team can't be nerfed all at once. Not nearly as strong, granted, but still forces your opponent to want to switch, meaning they can easily be baited into a punishable switch. However, it also allows your opponent to handle the debuff if they're smart and stay calm. How about only her vertical lariat is immune to ki blasts while her horizontal one isn't? Or vice versa, whichever one makes the most sense. Maybe the "step on me mommy" special should only be available as an EX option, that way you're forced to spend bar to continue combos, or maybe it should be considered a super and take a full bar. Still a powerful tool for maintaining combos and getting extra damage, but isn't literally free.
@@mrosskne that's a good question, but you could argue that it'd be to sell the DLC character. I generally dislike a character that has such a powerful ability, but it's unique and, with some tweaks, wouldn't necessarily be super op. It'd almost definitely put her in the top teir almost immediately based on that alone, unless she was really bad, but it didn't necessarily have to be broken.
@@beancheesedip8337 Not what I was asking. Does the inclusion of the ability improve the game? Was the game worse or less interesting before it was added? If the ability does improve the game, is the improvement significant enough to offset the amount of gameplay degeneracy it introduces?
I just want to say I love your videos. I don't even play DBFZ anymore, but there's something about your videos that are so incredibly entertaining despite that.
I don't even play this game and still sit here like "Yeah, this makes sense". Srsly, your videos are amazing. Everything is very well explained. And the editing is superb. Even makes me want to learn DBFZ.
Bandai Namco had something similar happen with Leroy and Fakuhm where both were obscenely broken. Leroy had versions of key moves from other characters, but they were BETTER than the ones on those characters. It makes me wonder how much of this stuff is really an "accident"
They seem to have already learned quite well. It makes money, so they'll keep doing it. Not touching DBFZ 2 with a ten-foot-pole if that's the case, but it is really cool to learn about it through these videos. They don't need to be this well-edited, but I'm glad they are. Just uh...get, get some sleep, yeah? :D;
Lythero and Moldy releasing an edited out of their minds DBFZ video almost on the same day makes me wonder if these two are in an editing arms race. Seriously, these two are beyond mortal in their skill.
Well. Now, Lab Coat 21 has received a good amount of nerfs. Her spins are now registered as Ki Blasts and can be reflected when blocked and 21 now has a whopping 50% CUT TO HER METER GAIN.
i dont even play this Game and never really watched any Videos to it before. Yet i still got this Video recommended and watched it fully. You Sir, did a great Job at keeping me interested.
I genuinely believe that, completely opposite of the "Buy my DLC theory", Arcsys truly wanted to make their OC as busted as possible. Not to mention the characters' being referenced in other pieces of lore and such. I'm sure Bamco saw it as an opportunity to make tons of money though, prolly made it easier to greenlight
I don't know who Yasha is, but he's immediately sympathetic to me for not bending over and actually doing pretty well without going the EA route. 100% Chad

Thank you for drawing a little special attention to one of the main enemies of balance in games: Profit margins. I couldn't count on a hundred hands how many times I've seen developers create problems just to sell solutions, or worse, create problems that you have no choice but to perpetuate just to get by. I get they gotta make money, but why is it always at the cost of the playerbase's overall enjoyment?

In DBS super hero it's revealed no 21 is based on Dr. Gero's wife, Vomi. Yep, the character is literally named after vomit, you can't make this stuff up.
Honestly, Omega Shenron could have been a much cooler (and balanced) character to make a DLC. He’s got tons of reference material and potential gimmicks, so he could have made it in and added more. Of course, this is just my opinion, you all can disagree if you choose.
I've been begging for Omega in a game like this ever since i picked up xenoverse 2 and went "this feels like it should be cooler than what i'm seeing."

bandai really said "My oc is the COOLEST,STRONGEST,BESTEST OF THEM ALL, FRICK YOU >:(" before the recent patch
honestly, I ain't even mad, I'd do the same lmao
Lmao
Cringe af
Seriously, the editing is so good I can't fucking tell what's gameplay and whats editing until some funny shit that's completely out of character happens
12:14
She was so shocked her glasses magically re-appeared
I will admit I mainly purchased LC21 since I wanted to play as a "good" version of A21, since the default version outside of the story is her evil version, and I really like personality of her good version in the story.
I had no idea she was this purposefully broken however, its nuts.
Impressive presentation and showcasing of your points too btw, both entertaining and very insightful.
Man gohan being a simp and a nerd in these videos are hilarious, especially this time 5:37
As someone who's a huge fan of lab coat 21's design and wanted her playable for a long time, please just nerf this woman
Please just nerf her into a state where I can play her without feeling horrible for my opponent.
@@crackersandpie136 Yeah, as long as they nerf her to the point where she's still good but in the "this doesn't feel like cheating anymore" good.
Inb4 they go overboard and nerf her to the ground...
@@megablueflash1816 She’s a dlc character so they’ll probably pull a GT on her,which will suck.
Seeing characters like this always confuse me, since there's so many easy ways to nerf LC21 while also leaving her as a strong character. Casuals will still wanna buy the character for... aesthetic purposes, and more hardcore players will want to buy her as she's got a really good toolkit, but doesn't steamroll the entire roster for literally no reason. It also continues to confuse me how bad Arcsys keeps fucking up on zoning. They're either Frieza levels of bad, or they're an entirely different archetype that also happens to have the best zoning tools. Like, Z Broly has some of the best zoning tools despite being a fucking grappler with super armor on almost every option. LC21 has great zoning options while also being a rushdown. It makes absolutely no sense.
There's easy ways to nerf her, imo, while still leaving her identity as a character intact. Like, the 21% damage debuff could easily only last until a character is downed on either team and the "next round," so to speak, starts. That still allows the character to have her own unique design choice, while being balanced around the aggressive playstyle that Arcsys created and be balanced around the strong comeback mechanics that the game uses. Or hell, maybe even only make it until the character is switched out, that way an entire team can't be nerfed all at once. Not nearly as strong, granted, but still forces your opponent to want to switch, meaning they can easily be baited into a punishable switch. However, it also allows your opponent to handle the debuff if they're smart and stay calm.
How about only her vertical lariat is immune to ki blasts while her horizontal one isn't? Or vice versa, whichever one makes the most sense. Maybe the "step on me mommy" special should only be available as an EX option, that way you're forced to spend bar to continue combos, or maybe it should be considered a super and take a full bar. Still a powerful tool for maintaining combos and getting extra damage, but isn't literally free.
That would be how most combo extensions work in most of FGC such as BBtags Ragna's death scythe except terumi in bbcf (99 b i think) and lab 21
why should there be a damage debuff attack in the game at all?
@@mrosskne that's a good question, but you could argue that it'd be to sell the DLC character. I generally dislike a character that has such a powerful ability, but it's unique and, with some tweaks, wouldn't necessarily be super op. It'd almost definitely put her in the top teir almost immediately based on that alone, unless she was really bad, but it didn't necessarily have to be broken.
@@beancheesedip8337 Not what I was asking. Does the inclusion of the ability improve the game? Was the game worse or less interesting before it was added? If the ability does improve the game, is the improvement significant enough to offset the amount of gameplay degeneracy it introduces?
Yeah good ideas
I just want to say I love your videos. I don't even play DBFZ anymore, but there's something about your videos that are so incredibly entertaining despite that.
Thanks!
I don't even play this game and still sit here like "Yeah, this makes sense".
Srsly, your videos are amazing. Everything is very well explained. And the editing is superb. Even makes me want to learn DBFZ.
"Lab Coat 21 was made broken on purpose"
*Laughs in UMVC3 Vergil*
Maximilian Dood sold his soul to play as Vergil in order to beat SNK Galactus
Bandai Namco had something similar happen with Leroy and Fakuhm where both were obscenely broken. Leroy had versions of key moves from other characters, but they were BETTER than the ones on those characters. It makes me wonder how much of this stuff is really an "accident"
"The Pay to Win Disease"
Raid Shadow Legends ad at the very beginning of the video. Oh the irony...
Bruh the raid shadow legends sponsorship is more of a disease than 21
0:50 This is as close as Moldy'll ever be to playing the Story Mode💀
maybe someday
They seem to have already learned quite well. It makes money, so they'll keep doing it. Not touching DBFZ 2 with a ten-foot-pole if that's the case, but it is really cool to learn about it through these videos. They don't need to be this well-edited, but I'm glad they are. Just uh...get, get some sleep, yeah? :D;
4:45 love how the invinsibility is shown by t posing
Assertive
I see… Two man of culture as well
And 8 months later Steve gets banned in ultimate. I wonder who’s next.
Lythero and Moldy releasing an edited out of their minds DBFZ video almost on the same day makes me wonder if these two are in an editing arms race. Seriously, these two are beyond mortal in their skill.
5:39 I legit was saying " the big momma step" Gohan caught me off guard i'm dead 💀
5:55
Cooler gain that proper on the most recent patch and honestly i felt that makes much sense
I’ve been waiting for so long for this especially after someone else did this
Well. Now, Lab Coat 21 has received a good amount of nerfs. Her spins are now registered as Ki Blasts and can be reflected when blocked and 21 now has a whopping 50% CUT TO HER METER GAIN.
i dont even play this Game and never really watched any Videos to it before.
Yet i still got this Video recommended and watched it fully.
You Sir, did a great Job at keeping me interested.
I missed these videos, they're always so fun and interesting to watch 😊
The tournament is over now in 2023, came back to this video after so much disappointment, she still unbalanced.
The whole opening was the coolest thing I've seen you make. Honestly felt like something out of the show.
Man put a raid ad on the pay to win video what a savage
man i hope youre thriving bc i cannot imagine the amout of work you put into editing as a self taught editor myslef lmao
The legend has returned. Also that animation at the start was firE 🔥
I genuinely believe that, completely opposite of the "Buy my DLC theory", Arcsys truly wanted to make their OC as busted as possible. Not to mention the characters' being referenced in other pieces of lore and such. I'm sure Bamco saw it as an opportunity to make tons of money though, prolly made it easier to greenlight
Was 21 purely Arcsys' OC? Didn't Toriyama design the character? I'm not certain.
Tbh my impression was that they wanted an OC and Toriyama drew it, kinda like SSJ4
@@MoldyBagel Toriyama designed Android 21 but it was ArcSys that came up with her lore
Bardock if planet vegeta never got destroyed: 0:08
I don't know who Yasha is, but he's immediately sympathetic to me for not bending over and actually doing pretty well without going the EA route.

I caught that little text in the bottom right. Two years of watching Milpy's vids have me looking out for stuff like that in fighting game content.
For real though, hope you got some good rest after this video went live, judging by that text, you needed it.
What does it say, to be honest I found it as well but can't read a damn bit of it
@@dragonmaster3030 "Fuck I just remembered 16 has one too but I've been working for 30 straight hours and need to render this before I crash from the caffeine."

I LEGIT FUCKING DIED

Relateable frfr
Long have I waited for this day, and I have not been disappointed.

The Best OTG is a Fucking Internet's Fetish!
World is a fuck
Caus everyone get cucked
The most famous fucking internets fetish is the best OTG.
raid shadow legend sponsoring a video titled "the p2w disease" is hilarious and no one shall say otherwise
"you stupid.."
"On the contrary, actually."
"whats 9 plus 10?"
"..."
It's just the fact that the game was centered around this original character and wasn't even available from the jump 😵💫
Thank you for drawing a little special attention to one of the main enemies of balance in games: Profit margins. I couldn't count on a hundred hands how many times I've seen developers create problems just to sell solutions, or worse, create problems that you have no choice but to perpetuate just to get by. I get they gotta make money, but why is it always at the cost of the playerbase's overall enjoyment?
"Namco-Bandai, this is not okay."
N-B: How does this effect us?
"It's shady business practice and people will look down on you as a company"
N-B: *I missed the part where that's my problem.*
Literally every season is a new hard meta character. Bardock S1, Gt Ratku S2, UI goku S3, and pan coat S4. Never a base character thats truly broken
Ah it's not everyday you see a character so broken in fighting games to the point where they literally prolong tournament matches
In DBS super hero it's revealed no 21 is based on Dr. Gero's wife, Vomi.
Yep, the character is literally named after vomit, you can't make this stuff up.
Labcoat 21 is so OP that she made herself cannon
And then she got nerfed...
...from the best character of the game to the best character of the game but nerfed
5:40 I love predictable jokes, heck, I was making it as I watched this. Then Gohan came in! 🤣
8:00 the zoom in took me straight into an ad😂
A21's was such a double edged sword for me. She's one of my fav characters in the series. But she was blatantly broken lmao
Same like I just like the character and got a lot of hate for playing her. It’s not my fault she’s really good.
the -21% part actually made me fear for my life.
Honestly, Omega Shenron could have been a much cooler (and balanced) character to make a DLC. He’s got tons of reference material and potential gimmicks, so he could have made it in and added more. Of course, this is just my opinion, you all can disagree if you choose.
They coulda just added him too. Still plenty of characters could be added
Android 13 as well
@@SuperFusionAJ93 hell yeah!
@@MoldyBagel Tbh, it’s a bit uncertain if they will. There are rumors that this most recent patch could be the last one.
I've been begging for Omega in a game like this ever since i picked up xenoverse 2 and went "this feels like it should be cooler than what i'm seeing."
Dude your INTROS keep me more entertained than some of the fights in the actual show😭. Great video as always, and keep up the stellar work!
Your editing is genuinely so impressive, I love your content creation style
