I'm glad that Blob actually made it! I recently got into the swing of this paint glob's parkour, but jeez! Blob impressed me with how good his game was!
That's one of the big reason a love Okami so much. *The whole game IS art* and Amaterasu is the artist "enhancing" the beauty of the "painting" (Nippon) with her control over nature. Every time she kills demons they turn into a batch of flowers, every time she runs she leaves a trail of flowers, *every time* she does something she does it with such finesse and beauty. She went over the "mistakes" of the "painting" (Nippon) and enhanced an already beautiful place. Such a beautiful game. And you can make it very difficult (try going through the game with no upgrades).
#5 - His personality is a bit tedious but he deserves to be on this list due to ability. #1 - You can't compete with someone of that much power... That reminds me, I need to get back into the game!
10. I'm glad to see that you mentioned De Blob. I've played both of his games for the Wii. =) 9. Bowser Jr. even used his Shadow Mario disguise and the paintbrush for his Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS! 8. I wish Adeline would appear in another Kirby game. 7. Why does this guy have a toolbox for a head? 6. I never knew this guy was based on an actual person! 5. I've never played Dynasty Warriors before, except for Hyrule Warriors. 4. I've played Link Between Worlds, but I still didn't see Yuga coming. 3. Smeargle FTW! 2. I had a feeling that Relm would be on this list. 1. I should've guessed... Great list!
I know this has been out for awhile, and I've already watched it like ten times, but excellent job as always Oscar. I especially like your voice work and the footage you used for this one. The segment for number one was great!
Okay. Let's go for it. Mickey also used Paint Thinner too so he definitely doesn't count. And neither does Splatter Phoenix from Darkwing Duck. 10. De Blob kinda makes sense. He's bringin color to the world. Also kinda stinks that there's no LoL Champ that uses paint. But hey, maybe someday. 9. Ooookay. Now then, Bowser Jr. is the target of hate to lots of your fellow countdown artists, but him as a painter, kinda works. Brawl 4 will see the return of his paintbrush. 8. Well what about Drawcia or Paintra? Unless you never played Kirby Triple Deluxe Paintra is the boss of Lollipop Land, she can attack with portraits, and she breaks the fourth wall by painting the screen. She's also a living paintbrush. Nonetheless, I like Adeline too. She's so adorable. Also, Ado paints Ice Dragon, Sweet Stuff, Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright and Kracko, all from Kirby's Dream Land 2. Adeleine paints an NZ, Bronto Burt, Mariel, Mumby, a mosaic enemy, Ice Dragon, and Dark Matter. Not bad. Kinda wonder if she painted Paintra and Drawcia. 7. That's kinda unoriginal. The design of the character is good, the name could be more creative, none the less, he does a good job. 6. I was hoping this guy would be number 1. But still, gotta respect your opinion. And all this we did not know. You could be the next Gaijin Goombah. 5. Okay, okay, no need to get mad. Anyway, Ma Dai kinda fits this list. Plus, he looks pretty cool. 4. Yuga, ah yes, the guy that is a cross between Ganondorf and Ghirahim. At least according to Quarter Guy. This is the type of Grafitti you do not want to mess with. Plus, bravo for having this guy almost accomplish what Ganondorf, Zant and Ghirahim could not. 3. Now this could be a jack of all trades. Imagine a Smeargle that knows Aeroblast, Sacred Fire, Roar of Time and Spacial Rend. Plus, he's the make it your way pokemon. 2. Relm. I never played FF 6 but a ten year old girl? Man, Adeleine could have some competition. Now for that tradition most countdown makers are not doing. The recap. Number 10: De Blob. Number 9: Bowser Jr. Number 8: Adeleine. Number 7: The Painter. Number 6: Brauner. Number 5: Ma Dai. Number 4, Yuga, number 3: Smeargle and number 2, Relm Arrowny. 1. I'm not a big fan of Okami, but Amaterasu, a dog beat all the human artists? Im-pres-sive. Not bad for a wolf whose the reincarnation of the sun goddess. Your martial artists list is coming up. I just hope fighters like Senel Coolidge, Jude Mathis, Sophie or the Grappler Radiant make the list.
#10: Does this count as a fighter? #9: Do I even have to mention how he uses it in [Title Redacted] as a move? #8: Knew she was going to be on their. Love this game #7: That guy was kind of creepy #6: Gotta love what that series does with historical figures. #5: Same as #6 #4: Spoilers, Oscar! Just kidding #3: Looks kind of like a derp to me #2: Knew she was too. Also, that glitch...that evil glitch #1: Pretty obvious choice. Who cares how obvious it is though,
Elliot Tipton Just warning that there are spoilers to the list, so The Sketch Glitch for Relm is pretty much a game-ending bug. There is a relatively large chance that using Relm's sketch ability will cause all sorts of problems on the party. Some characters will be inflicted with status ailments that just make the sprites do random things like go upside down, float, or even be petrified. Even worse is that, with this glitch, you can't use any inputs, and the enemies won't attack. So, you pretty much have to reset the game. All of this caused by a little girl who paints monsters to use their effects.
Elliot Tipton For more on this bug, here's a link to BrainScratchComms LP of the game #2 where they come across this glitch Final Fantasy VI - Part 36: Phoenix Cave, home of the--FRHGFHSSKMKXZ010111
I heard the glitch is only on the SNES version. I don’t think the GBA and steam/android/iOS versions have it. :) I only played the iOS version and I can see why FFVI is the best 16 bit RPG games of all time. :) (I enjoyed iOS Final Fantasy versions)
And here I thought there was no possible way that Relm could not be beaten in this category. I completely forgot about Amaterasu and the fact that Okami's main mechanic is painting. xD I guess I was just too fixated on how freaking amazing Relm is.
Aw, come on. Drawcia can turn an entire dimension into a painting and paint herself a rap sheet of magical powers. That could've even given Ammy a run for her money!
Your #5 is justified for the fact that Ink is used for art and painting as well considering Sai from naruto being example the fact that art in someway is involved counts pretty much art is the weapon if your thinking about it with more perspective
Somehow I had a feeling Amaterasu would be number one. Then again she is a goddess who uses paint for just about everything in her game and the same goes for her son In Okamiden.
As an artist myself, I have to give props to anyone who can use their painting abilities in combat! I didn't realize there were actually that many battle painters in games! I didn't know about most of these, either. You totally botched Heart Swap's pronunciation, Oscar. There's a one-letter difference between heart and heat, but it makes a big difference in how you say it.
Jason and new Jason Genovese I... I'm hardly qualified to be giving lessons when there's still so much I need to learn. I'd recommend one of the Art Academy games if you're interested in drawing!
Ammy might use her godly powers to paint over the world like you said... Or she just uses her tail as a brush, since you know, its modeled after one xP
Officially Ammy's tail is her brush but I think your theory holds water :-) unfortunately Splatoon doesn't come out till 2015 so the inklings couldn't be on this list but hey good list
Like Musician Fighters, this was an odd list with very few choices for you and all the entries I expected to see, especially at #1. Overall, another fun & creative list from you, Oscar! Good job :D Can't wait for Martial Artists! Many people, including myself, have been waiting for that one for a long time :3
Hurray for Number 1! Who needs a sword when you can summon the forces of nature though a simple paintbrush? And yes she still carries a sword as well, but it is nowhere near as powerful or amazing as her skills with a brush. Artwork is very powerful, and this character shows that in the most literal sense possible.
One of my favorite video game artists would have to be Zeri the Painter from Dawngate. She bonded with the spirit of Vibrance, and she fights using multicolored paint from her GIGANTIC brush. She can also summon a stat-boosting butterfly that, apparently, can eat your face. Plus, she's the student of the magnificent sculptor Renzo. But we must not speak too much of Renzo, for fear of becoming lost in awe of him.
*sees himself not only making it onto the list, but someone who seems to really like him as a character* YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!! THANK YOU, MR. GREEN SCORPION!!!!! :D
This is ridiculously Off-Topic scorpion, but i JUST heard u donated to Maximilian_DOOD on his livestream about him inspiring u to be a better countdown artist, HOLY SH*T i didn't know u watched the guy! I LOVE HIM! Awesome to know u follow his stuff too :D Also, as for a tip for dudley? I'd suggest you learn his hit-confirm normals to perfection and there u go, that will set you up so many free combos to dish out a lot of easy damage and win you the ground fights everytime :)
OSCAR! HOLD ON!! Bowser Jr is using his paintbrush again! In the new Super Smash Bros, that is, and it's his final smash, Shadow Mario. However, it's can be a little annoying to go around when activated, since Bowser Jr covers the screen with a HUGE orange cross that does damage to your opponents, and it covers your vision, unfortunately. Oh, well, it's not as bad as the damn Nintendogs assist trophy.
As cute as they are, yes I agree that the Nintendogs are annoying! :( They could at least attempt to do some damage. I’ve yet to play Ultimate, the only Smash game I haven’t played yet, so I don’t know if the dog is in it. I’ll probably play it by next week.
I know a lot of people are disagreeing with this... SPOILERS FOR NUMBER 1 BTW But I'm pretty sure GS isn't pronouncing Amaterasu incorrectly. There's a few schools of thought on how you pronounce this name regarding whether or not the "u" at the end is silent. Now I don't speak Japanese, but I have multiple friends who do, and even among them I have some telling me the "u" is silent and some saying it's not. It has to do with whether or not you're trying to pronounce her name in English or Japanese, what dialect you're using, and some of it might have to do with whether or not it's at the end of the sentence. I've even heard that the "u" is not silent but kind of meant to be trailing the word to the point that you just barely hear it. I don't entirely get it myself to be honest, but I know GS' pronunciation is at least somewhat suitable. I mean that's how they pronounce it in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, which to my knowledge is the only game in which this character's name is said with actual voice acting. Even if it's not THE most correct way to say it, at the very worst it's about as wrong as ending a sentence with a preposition; we've all done it before.
I said it on your Top Ten Animals list and I'll say it again: Amaterasu FTW! May I also say thanks for putting Brauner on your list b/c "Portrait of Ruin" is my favorite "Castlevania" game on the DS.
zeldasmetaknight Shantae yes Bayanetta not sure she doesn't seem to be dancing as such during combat but it really come down to the specifications as to wether or net ether of them apply tho i know Olivia from fire emblem awakening would qualify.
I always thought the paint brush in okami was amaterasu's tail. The brush looks just like her tail when you use it, but that may just be a coincidence. Any who, I really like the concept for this list! Really starting to cover the more obscure ideas. Maybe sometime you should try doing one on mechs, as in people in robot suits. Another one I'd like to see is people who use some form of animals as a weapon or using the essence of an animal. Like an animal spirit fighter or something...
You see, that section on Okami is a perfect example of PROPER video game analysis. My biggest beef with Joshscorcher calling the Shroobs the darkest thing in Mario, or Fawful's Minion calling Cyrus the best Team Leader in Pokémon is that they are basically taking lazy writing, and twisting it to seem intentional (though I haven't played Partners in Time so I could be mistaken with the Shroobs). This takes actual evidence from the game to expand upon the experience. The thought that the game is played through the eyes of Ameterasu as the goddess is brilliant. It justifies the artstyle, it puts the painting mechanic into context, and and works with the way the game explains Ameterasu. Bravo to you, Green Scorpion.
I know you said this a long item ago and many generations of Pokemon have passed since then but I haven't found a better boss in Pokémon than Cyrus in the years since. I've found ones that were better written or more fleshed out, but not one that's so goddamn horrifyingly relatable or does so much with so little.
Were you planning on doing a Top Ten Animal Handlers for this month's list since you're covering unconventional means of combat? If not,it's just a suggestion. :-D
Nice list Green Scorpion. I do have two suggestions for you: A list of illusionists, and a list of robot users. As in an individual who uses machines designed for battle. One example being Solatorobo, or perhaps knights of the old republic. What do you think?
Hay! Green It been sooooooo long, missed u A LOT!!!! Im updating and watching ur videos, Hope u dont leave us any more! :D Watching list ok and I happy! :D
it actually dawned upon me of a painter that i think i can nominate. the game is from the anime one piece but the game itself is not related to the show but is its own stand alone. this character is Patrick redfield from unlimited world.
10. No LoL character? THE END IS UPON...oh, yeah, I don't think Swords had one either. 9. Cue Bison. And let's not forget his Final Smash... 8. Oh, man...I haven't played anything of Kirby's, but that cute little artist deserves a revival. Oh, yeah, Ribbon, too. 7. *blink blink* O-kaaay... 6. Ah, that explains the title. 5. Ma Dai, this peace is what all true Warriors strive for! (I'm so sorry...) 4. Hmm...might need to pick up this game. 3. Cue Bison...again. 2. She did seem in the realm of possibility... 1. Whoa, didn't see her coming! Though I guess I should have, considering the main gameplay element... Also, nice touch including TAG in the intro.
For number 1, I always thought she used her tail to paint, but I guess your theory makes some sense too. Also, you don't strictly need paint to paint. All you really need is to spread some sort of liquidy substance for it to be considered painting.
Actually ammy's tail is her paint brush, the same applies to chibi, hense the black colour on the tip, she paints with quick flicks of the tail, though that may be her physical body reacting to her godly power
Amaterasu definitely deserves the number one spot! Happy to see Ma Dai and Adeline on the list too! Too bad Splatoon wasn't out by the time you made this video.^^
Actually, Bowser Jr. didn't abandon his paint brush. He still uses it as a weapon of combat via Mario Sport Mix and SSB4. Plus, I think Paintra and Drawcia are abit more formidible than Adeline IMO. Great list, as usual.
I just thought of something, the girls control could be connected with the painting. though not said, she could not just copy the enemy, but draw the picture of them, putting the strength behind it to control the enemy, making them a puppet with a mere piece of paper.
If you're ever considering another installment for Weapon's Month (the upcoming one is the last entry of this one, right? I'm not counting wrong), would you consider trying out doing a Top 10 Disabled Battlers? I don't know if there is enough to really make a whole list, but I think it would be a neat topic for a future list. Preferably the people on the list doesn't really become "treated" in the process of the story, they actually stay handicapped and keeps beating ass that way.
I should've known you picked Ammy. It's too obvious. You've probably figured it out by now, but her tail is the brush. ... I love Okami. I'll have to thank Chuggaaconroy for introducing me to it, and you for giving the sun goddess a rightful place.
This will be an interesting topic for a countdown let's see... 10. Hey I wanted Beat from JSR but hey it's not my list. 9. I figured he'd be on here and hey he's in Smash bros 4! 8. Ah she's a wonderful choice! But we don't see her that much... 7. Well I got the game but I need a controller for it. That aside this boss looks funny 6. Hey QG talked about the final bosses of this game oh... nice background... 5. A dynasty warriors character? Cool... 4. Yes! I knew he would be here somewhere. Still not as good as Ghirahim though 3. *slaps hand to forehead* I like pokemon I really do... but if it were me he'd be at the bottom 2. Yeah for a child that's powerful! 1. Yes yes yes! Frickin yes! I love this character and I love this game! Oh crap forgot my Josh shield...
i have a odd list for you regarding weapons month. how about a top ten generals, puppeteers, summoners, necromancers, etc (make the title whatever you want). what i mean is any sort of one person or deity that goes into battle using the powers of others whether it be through leadership, tyranny, manipulation, summoning contracts, etc.
As an artist myself (albeit I still have a very, very long way to go), this is a very eye-catching topic for a list if you ask me. There were some very interesting choices here, and all this talk about painting and drawing is starting to get me out of my artist's block. (which is a huge pain to deal with >_
Regarding Smeargle, I LOVE the concept and gimmick. But I think the real big issue isn’t the low stats, but rather the tedious process of actually creating the dream moveset you want for it. Breeding and training the perfect Pokémon for competitive play is one thing, but for Smeargle, you have to put in at least 50 times more work to find and Sketch the moves you want. It’s a different story in Pokémon Showdown since you can build all your Pokémon from scratch right from the get-go. And if you’re playing with a Hackmon ruleset, you can change their ability to alter the playstyle even more. (Skill link + King’s Rock x multi hit moves = stun lock salt) But in official games? They could stand to get a buff, both in and out of battles. Maybe make it so they can “remember” any move that other Pokémon in your party has learned already?
have you done the top 10 hand to hand fighters (i know it's WEAPONS month but still ...) there are some awesome brawlers out there like brahms from valkyrie profile and gene from god hand these two can take down gods with their fists.
I didn't really expect this character to appear, but if you had played the game, I'm sure Beryl from Tales of Hearts would probably be on the list, haha. The number one is one of my favorite characters :D (btw, when Japanese romanization has two "e"s, it's still pronounced as one "eh" but longer, not as a long "ee".)
I'm almost 100% positive the "brush" Amaterasu uses is actually her tail.
yuga managed to manipulate hilda extremely effectively that has to count for something
I'm glad that Blob actually made it! I recently got into the swing of this paint glob's parkour, but jeez! Blob impressed me with how good his game was!
That's one of the big reason a love Okami so much. *The whole game IS art* and Amaterasu is the artist "enhancing" the beauty of the "painting" (Nippon) with her control over nature. Every time she kills demons they turn into a batch of flowers, every time she runs she leaves a trail of flowers, *every time* she does something she does it with such finesse and beauty. She went over the "mistakes" of the "painting" (Nippon) and enhanced an already beautiful place. Such a beautiful game. And you can make it very difficult (try going through the game with no upgrades).
As an artist myself, I can appreciate this list.
This man actually have a hoot about Smeargle. That is impressive
#5 - His personality is a bit tedious but he deserves to be on this list due to ability.
#1 - You can't compete with someone of that much power... That reminds me, I need to get back into the game!
I knew Relm and Ammy would be high in this video. Just didn't know they'd be THIS high xD
10. I'm glad to see that you mentioned De Blob. I've played both of his games for the Wii. =)
9. Bowser Jr. even used his Shadow Mario disguise and the paintbrush for his Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS!
8. I wish Adeline would appear in another Kirby game.
7. Why does this guy have a toolbox for a head?
6. I never knew this guy was based on an actual person!
5. I've never played Dynasty Warriors before, except for Hyrule Warriors.
4. I've played Link Between Worlds, but I still didn't see Yuga coming.
3. Smeargle FTW!
2. I had a feeling that Relm would be on this list.
1. I should've guessed...
Great list!
I think a cool idea for a countdown would be Top Ten Hemomancers and/or blood mages
With Relm I think you've done a good job explaining her.
I know this has been out for awhile, and I've already watched it like ten times, but excellent job as always Oscar. I especially like your voice work and the footage you used for this one. The segment for number one was great!
i got 3 words for number 1: PRAISE THE SUN!
Okay. Let's go for it. Mickey also used Paint Thinner too so he definitely doesn't count. And neither does Splatter Phoenix from Darkwing Duck.
10. De Blob kinda makes sense. He's bringin color to the world. Also kinda stinks that there's no LoL Champ that uses paint. But hey, maybe someday.
9. Ooookay. Now then, Bowser Jr. is the target of hate to lots of your fellow countdown artists, but him as a painter, kinda works. Brawl 4 will see the return of his paintbrush.
8. Well what about Drawcia or Paintra? Unless you never played Kirby Triple Deluxe Paintra is the boss of Lollipop Land, she can attack with portraits, and she breaks the fourth wall by painting the screen. She's also a living paintbrush. Nonetheless, I like Adeline too. She's so adorable. Also, Ado paints Ice Dragon, Sweet Stuff, Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright and Kracko, all from Kirby's Dream Land 2. Adeleine paints an NZ, Bronto Burt, Mariel, Mumby, a mosaic enemy, Ice Dragon, and Dark Matter. Not bad. Kinda wonder if she painted Paintra and Drawcia.
7. That's kinda unoriginal. The design of the character is good, the name could be more creative, none the less, he does a good job.
6. I was hoping this guy would be number 1. But still, gotta respect your opinion. And all this we did not know. You could be the next Gaijin Goombah.
5. Okay, okay, no need to get mad. Anyway, Ma Dai kinda fits this list. Plus, he looks pretty cool.
4. Yuga, ah yes, the guy that is a cross between Ganondorf and Ghirahim. At least according to Quarter Guy. This is the type of Grafitti you do not want to mess with. Plus, bravo for having this guy almost accomplish what Ganondorf, Zant and Ghirahim could not.
3. Now this could be a jack of all trades. Imagine a Smeargle that knows Aeroblast, Sacred Fire, Roar of Time and Spacial Rend. Plus, he's the make it your way pokemon.
2. Relm. I never played FF 6 but a ten year old girl? Man, Adeleine could have some competition.
Now for that tradition most countdown makers are not doing. The recap.
Number 10: De Blob. Number 9: Bowser Jr. Number 8: Adeleine. Number 7: The Painter. Number 6: Brauner. Number 5: Ma Dai. Number 4, Yuga, number 3: Smeargle and number 2, Relm Arrowny.
1. I'm not a big fan of Okami, but Amaterasu, a dog beat all the human artists? Im-pres-sive. Not bad for a wolf whose the reincarnation of the sun goddess.
Your martial artists list is coming up. I just hope fighters like Senel Coolidge, Jude Mathis, Sophie or the Grappler Radiant make the list.
"You painters always...painting!"
#10: Does this count as a fighter?
#9: Do I even have to mention how he uses it in [Title Redacted] as a move?
#8: Knew she was going to be on their. Love this game
#7: That guy was kind of creepy
#6: Gotta love what that series does with historical figures.
#5: Same as #6
#4: Spoilers, Oscar! Just kidding
#3: Looks kind of like a derp to me
#2: Knew she was too. Also, that glitch...that evil glitch
#1: Pretty obvious choice. Who cares how obvious it is though,
What is this oh so evil glitch?
Elliot Tipton Just warning that there are spoilers to the list, so
The Sketch Glitch for Relm is pretty much a game-ending bug. There is a relatively large chance that using Relm's sketch ability will cause all sorts of problems on the party. Some characters will be inflicted with status ailments that just make the sprites do random things like go upside down, float, or even be petrified.

Drawica is an honorable mention
I heard the glitch is only on the SNES version. I don’t think the GBA and steam/android/iOS versions have it. :) I only played the iOS version and I can see why FFVI is the best 16 bit RPG games of all time. :) (I enjoyed iOS Final Fantasy versions)

Aw, come on. Drawcia can turn an entire dimension into a painting and paint herself a rap sheet of magical powers. That could've even given Ammy a run for her money!
I am so glad Relm was so high on this list. She's easily one of my favorite characters in all of Final Fantasy.
Well, that's what I call a beautiful artwork among countdowns.
Way to go, Greeny!
"Greeny"?
Your #5 is justified for the fact that Ink is used for art and painting as well considering Sai from naruto being example the fact that art in someway is involved counts pretty much art is the weapon if your thinking about it with more perspective
You make like the most amazing top tens I have ever seen
I'm so glad that De Blob is getting noticeable recognition for once!
Relm, oh shadow if only she knew
Thank you for putting the sun goddess on here!!!! Okami is amazing and people should play it.
I like your take on Ammy's brush powers, but I'd think it's more likely that her tail is the brush.
Somehow I had a feeling Amaterasu would be number one. Then again she is a goddess who uses paint for just about everything in her game and the same goes for her son In Okamiden.
As an artist myself, I have to give props to anyone who can use their painting abilities in combat!

You totally botched Heart Swap's pronunciation, Oscar. There's a one-letter difference between heart and heat, but it makes a big difference in how you say it.
Yeah, there was a typo in my script and I didn't even notice it. Oh well, nobody's perfect.
The Green Scorpion My bad XD
Both this and the Musician Fighters list just goes to show you that anything can be used as a weapon.
ClefairyRox as soon as you said your an artist I thought you would be a good teacher can you give me lessons please
Jason and new Jason Genovese I... I'm hardly qualified to be giving lessons when there's still so much I need to learn. I'd recommend one of the Art Academy games if you're interested in drawing!
Ammy might use her godly powers to paint over the world like you said... Or she just uses her tail as a brush, since you know, its modeled after one xP
I had always assumed Amaterasu used her brush-like tail to draw all the symbols.
Officially Ammy's tail is her brush but I think your theory holds water :-)
unfortunately Splatoon doesn't come out till 2015 so the inklings couldn't be on this list but hey good list
Will you do a Top 10 Video Game Dancers?
Could we expect Olivia, Lalum, or Ninian?
Smeargle is a really good support in strategy.
I used to colour the blob red and make anarchy symbols everywhere, good times.
I love how Ice Dragon has EVERYONE summon them.
Like Musician Fighters, this was an odd list with very few choices for you and all the entries I expected to see, especially at #1. Overall, another fun & creative list from you, Oscar! Good job :D
Can't wait for Martial Artists! Many people, including myself, have been waiting for that one for a long time :3
This is probably the weirdest list you made yet. But, well done, good sir!
3:16 To quote DBZ Abridged's Mr. Popo: Called it!
Hurray for Number 1! Who needs a sword when you can summon the forces of nature though a simple paintbrush? And yes she still carries a sword as well, but it is nowhere near as powerful or amazing as her skills with a brush. Artwork is very powerful, and this character shows that in the most literal sense possible.
battle painters? very nice, i did call brauner on here, but amaterasu completly slipped my mind.
good list, can't wait for the next weapons month!
I'm still waiting for Bo Staff Wielders in Gaming. :)
Kilik or Xiba from Soul Calibur should be on that one.
If you redid this countdown, I expect to see the inklings in there in the top 3.
One of my favorite video game artists would have to be Zeri the Painter from Dawngate. She bonded with the spirit of Vibrance, and she fights using multicolored paint from her GIGANTIC brush. She can also summon a stat-boosting butterfly that, apparently, can eat your face.
Plus, she's the student of the magnificent sculptor Renzo. But we must not speak too much of Renzo, for fear of becoming lost in awe of him.
Smeargle is also usefull for catching pokemons thanks to its abillity.
*sees himself not only making it onto the list, but someone who seems to really like him as a character* YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!! THANK YOU, MR. GREEN SCORPION!!!!! :D
This is ridiculously Off-Topic scorpion, but i JUST heard u donated to Maximilian_DOOD on his livestream about him inspiring u to be a better countdown artist, HOLY SH*T i didn't know u watched the guy! I LOVE HIM! Awesome to know u follow his stuff too :D
Also, as for a tip for dudley? I'd suggest you learn his hit-confirm normals to perfection and there u go, that will set you up so many free combos to dish out a lot of easy damage and win you the ground fights everytime :)
Finally, Bowser Jr. gets a positive review.
18:16 Pfft, I almost forgot that Locke broke the 4th wall at some point! XD
Top 10 chakram users in video games
Also I think it would be cool to see Amaterasu appear in super smash bros
FINALLY! a list with no LoL characters!
There's no painter character in League... yet.
@@MrChaotic4 Give a warm welcome to Hwei.
OSCAR! HOLD ON!! Bowser Jr is using his paintbrush again! In the new Super Smash Bros, that is, and it's his final smash, Shadow Mario. However, it's can be a little annoying to go around when activated, since Bowser Jr covers the screen with a HUGE orange cross that does damage to your opponents, and it covers your vision, unfortunately. Oh, well, it's not as bad as the damn Nintendogs assist trophy.
True
As cute as they are, yes I agree that the Nintendogs are annoying! :( They could at least attempt to do some damage. I’ve yet to play Ultimate, the only Smash game I haven’t played yet, so I don’t know if the dog is in it. I’ll probably play it by next week.
I know a lot of people are disagreeing with this...
SPOILERS FOR NUMBER 1 BTW
But I'm pretty sure GS isn't pronouncing Amaterasu incorrectly. There's a few schools of thought on how you pronounce this name regarding whether or not the "u" at the end is silent. Now I don't speak Japanese, but I have multiple friends who do, and even among them I have some telling me the "u" is silent and some saying it's not. It has to do with whether or not you're trying to pronounce her name in English or Japanese, what dialect you're using, and some of it might have to do with whether or not it's at the end of the sentence. I've even heard that the "u" is not silent but kind of meant to be trailing the word to the point that you just barely hear it. I don't entirely get it myself to be honest, but I know GS' pronunciation is at least somewhat suitable. I mean that's how they pronounce it in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, which to my knowledge is the only game in which this character's name is said with actual voice acting. Even if it's not THE most correct way to say it, at the very worst it's about as wrong as ending a sentence with a preposition; we've all done it before.
I said it on your Top Ten Animals list and I'll say it again: Amaterasu FTW!
May I also say thanks for putting Brauner on your list b/c "Portrait of Ruin" is my favorite "Castlevania" game on the DS.
"Heat Swap"? I think you mean "HEART Swap".
yeah I noticed that too.
Who cares? He screwed up Arceus's pronunciation. The C makes a K sound.
Why does everyone say Arceus with a “K”!?
@@turbogoomy1965 in the movie Hoopa clash of the ages its pronounced with a soft c sound
@@turbogoomy1965 I pronounce it "Arkoos".
As soon as I saw this list, I knew Ammy had to be on here : D
so we have had musicians and painters i get the feeling we will be getting dancers at some point.
Would bayanetta and shantae apply to this?
zeldasmetaknight Shantae yes Bayanetta not sure she doesn't seem to be dancing as such during combat but it really come down to the specifications as to wether or net ether of them apply tho i know Olivia from fire emblem awakening would qualify.
i can defiantly see some potential with the dancers Etrian Odyssey IV
Maybe for someone in the top 5 we should have Phantom R. Whos with me?
I come back to this and notice... VS Adeline was used in Kirby Fighters and its eShop sequel. As the main menu theme!
I always thought the paint brush in okami was amaterasu's tail. The brush looks just like her tail when you use it, but that may just be a coincidence.
Any who, I really like the concept for this list! Really starting to cover the more obscure ideas. Maybe sometime you should try doing one on mechs, as in people in robot suits. Another one I'd like to see is people who use some form of animals as a weapon or using the essence of an animal. Like an animal spirit fighter or something...
So, what are the most requested top 10 topics these days?
I have an idea for another weapons month countdown, top 10 mechanical suites!
Please tell me I wasn't the only one to think Yuga was a girl.
Also, YAY AMMY! She definately deservses #1!
You see, that section on Okami is a perfect example of PROPER video game analysis. My biggest beef with Joshscorcher calling the Shroobs the darkest thing in Mario, or Fawful's Minion calling Cyrus the best Team Leader in Pokémon is that they are basically taking lazy writing, and twisting it to seem intentional (though I haven't played Partners in Time so I could be mistaken with the Shroobs). This takes actual evidence from the game to expand upon the experience. The thought that the game is played through the eyes of Ameterasu as the goddess is brilliant. It justifies the artstyle, it puts the painting mechanic into context, and and works with the way the game explains Ameterasu. Bravo to you, Green Scorpion.
I know you said this a long item ago and many generations of Pokemon have passed since then but I haven't found a better boss in Pokémon than Cyrus in the years since. I've found ones that were better written or more fleshed out, but not one that's so goddamn horrifyingly relatable or does so much with so little.
Were you planning on doing a Top Ten Animal Handlers for this month's list since you're covering unconventional means of combat? If not,it's just a suggestion. :-D
How about a Top Ten Chainsaw wielders list?
Nice list Green Scorpion. I do have two suggestions for you: A list of illusionists, and a list of robot users. As in an individual who uses machines designed for battle. One example being Solatorobo, or perhaps knights of the old republic. What do you think?
Hay! Green
It been sooooooo long, missed u A LOT!!!!
Im updating and watching ur videos, Hope u dont leave us any more! :D
Watching list ok and I happy! :D
it actually dawned upon me of a painter that i think i can nominate. the game is from the anime one piece but the game itself is not related to the show but is its own stand alone. this character is Patrick redfield from unlimited world.
10. No LoL character? THE END IS UPON...oh, yeah, I don't think Swords had one either.
9. Cue Bison. And let's not forget his Final Smash...
8. Oh, man...I haven't played anything of Kirby's, but that cute little artist deserves a revival. Oh, yeah, Ribbon, too.
7. *blink blink* O-kaaay...
6. Ah, that explains the title.
5. Ma Dai, this peace is what all true Warriors strive for! (I'm so sorry...)
4. Hmm...might need to pick up this game.
3. Cue Bison...again.
2. She did seem in the realm of possibility...
1. Whoa, didn't see her coming! Though I guess I should have, considering the main gameplay element...
Also, nice touch including TAG in the intro.
Whips didn't have a League character either.
For number 1, I always thought she used her tail to paint, but I guess your theory makes some sense too. Also, you don't strictly need paint to paint. All you really need is to spread some sort of liquidy substance for it to be considered painting.
Actually ammy's tail is her paint brush, the same applies to chibi, hense the black colour on the tip, she paints with quick flicks of the tail, though that may be her physical body reacting to her godly power
Amaterasu definitely deserves the number one spot! Happy to see Ma Dai and Adeline on the list too! Too bad Splatoon wasn't out by the time you made this video.^^
Actually, Bowser Jr. didn't abandon his paint brush. He still uses it as a weapon of combat via Mario Sport Mix and SSB4. Plus, I think Paintra and Drawcia are abit more formidible than Adeline IMO. Great list, as usual.
smeergle is one tricky son of a gun to master, and when someone does master him, he's tough to beat.
that last one,...actuly the brush is the tail, it even states that in the sequel that She paints (or draws) with her tail
Smeargle used Fly! It's super effective! And makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, but screw logic!
The brush is her tail. Notice how it is darkened like it is dipped in ink, also notice the same swirl appears on her tail as does on the brush
Yeah when I saw this list I knew Ma Dai would have had to be in it, and Ma Dai is Ma Chao's Uncle? "Don't quote me on that" :)
Awesome list. :)
I just thought of something, the girls control could be connected with the painting. though not said, she could not just copy the enemy, but draw the picture of them, putting the strength behind it to control the enemy, making them a puppet with a mere piece of paper.
"Not very useful in competitive play"
It's all about Smeargul's huge moveset. He's very niche but that allows him to fit onto most technical teams.
If you're ever considering another installment for Weapon's Month (the upcoming one is the last entry of this one, right? I'm not counting wrong), would you consider trying out doing a Top 10 Disabled Battlers? I don't know if there is enough to really make a whole list, but I think it would be a neat topic for a future list. Preferably the people on the list doesn't really become "treated" in the process of the story, they actually stay handicapped and keeps beating ass that way.
This is awesome. I like how random the weapon is.
amaterasu's brush is the tip of her tail. if you look closely you can see ink on it at pretty much any point in the game.
I thought Amaterasu used her tail to draw. The shape of the brush and the Ninetails boss kind of hints at that.
I should've known you picked Ammy. It's too obvious.
You've probably figured it out by now, but her tail is the brush.
... I love Okami. I'll have to thank Chuggaaconroy for introducing me to it, and you for giving the sun goddess a rightful place.
eh bowser's still young and hip with the kids, plus who do you think made all of those robots
Iggy?
*****
well probably bowser's blue prints
AWWWW!! you missed a perfect praise the sun joke
This will be an interesting topic for a countdown let's see...
10. Hey I wanted Beat from JSR but hey it's not my list.
9. I figured he'd be on here and hey he's in Smash bros 4!
8. Ah she's a wonderful choice! But we don't see her that much...
7. Well I got the game but I need a controller for it. That aside this boss looks funny
6. Hey QG talked about the final bosses of this game oh... nice background...
5. A dynasty warriors character? Cool...
4. Yes! I knew he would be here somewhere. Still not as good as Ghirahim though
3. *slaps hand to forehead* I like pokemon I really do... but if it were me he'd be at the bottom
2. Yeah for a child that's powerful!
1. Yes yes yes! Frickin yes! I love this character and I love this game! Oh crap forgot my Josh shield...
Certainly a unique list and the hardest for me to make a list of.
Finally Okami appears on a list! Go Ammy!
Did you see his list is animals in Video Games? Ammi was Number 3.
interesting list. great job. though i always thought Amatarasu used her tail as a brush cause her tail looks a lot like the brush
i have a odd list for you regarding weapons month. how about a top ten generals, puppeteers, summoners, necromancers, etc (make the title whatever you want). what i mean is any sort of one person or deity that goes into battle using the powers of others whether it be through leadership, tyranny, manipulation, summoning contracts, etc.
As an artist myself (albeit I still have a very, very long way to go), this is a very eye-catching topic for a list if you ask me.
There were some very interesting choices here, and all this talk about painting and drawing is starting to get me out of my artist's block. (which is a huge pain to deal with >_
Heat Swap, huh? Sounds like a move that would turn Ice-types into Fire-types, or vice versa. Oh, the possibilities...
Very interesting idea for a countdown!
All these, and now we have the squids from Splatoon... wow, there sure are a lot of "battle painters"!
smeargle is actually pretty used fairly often in competitive play.
Regarding Smeargle, I LOVE the concept and gimmick. But I think the real big issue isn’t the low stats, but rather the tedious process of actually creating the dream moveset you want for it. Breeding and training the perfect Pokémon for competitive play is one thing, but for Smeargle, you have to put in at least 50 times more work to find and Sketch the moves you want.
It’s a different story in Pokémon Showdown since you can build all your Pokémon from scratch right from the get-go. And if you’re playing with a Hackmon ruleset, you can change their ability to alter the playstyle even more. (Skill link + King’s Rock x multi hit moves = stun lock salt)
But in official games? They could stand to get a buff, both in and out of battles. Maybe make it so they can “remember” any move that other Pokémon in your party has learned already?
I knew Amaterasu and Bowser Jr. would be here. Should've expected De Blob (I have that game why didn't I think of it) and Smeargle though.
have you done the top 10 hand to hand fighters (i know it's WEAPONS month but still ...) there are some awesome brawlers out there like brahms from valkyrie profile and gene from god hand these two can take down gods with their fists.
I didn't really expect this character to appear, but if you had played the game, I'm sure Beryl from Tales of Hearts would probably be on the list, haha. The number one is one of my favorite characters :D
(btw, when Japanese romanization has two "e"s, it's still pronounced as one "eh" but longer, not as a long "ee".)
