I will always enjoy you star0chris

Why is Chris so biased he is meat riding bri
For strings that are removed by impressing you, as you did with starting with Wretch, you could have a few written down. So if they do them, you can always point to them and say So-and-so, now have one string removed. And also, add a few cringe traps to add a string. Like for example first one to pick up the Flask of Wondrous Physick or something similar get a string added.
Also, what if the contestants can win things to sabotage the other contestants. Like sending someone to fight another boss or making another contestant stop what they are doing and instead make them do something else like a scavenger hunt like collecting 10 mushrooms and 20 Rowa Fruit.
Charge attack build, talisman + physick add a few strings definitely :)
Bloodhound's fang use doubles your string count xD
BHF and serpent hunter should definitely be +3 strings if someone goes for it.
I told Danny that we lost and he cried, now my ties are wet
Not the wet ties! The horror!
Danny not winning is blasphemy, I question chris' judgement now 😂
I really liked the strings concept, hope you have more of these. Just set some ground rules like "only the first hitless / +0" boss kill gets strings and stuff like that. This game show concept has a ton of potential, you're always innovating Chris, rock on! Also, "cheating" a little with the strings distribution towards whoever is last could make it more competitive, and the strings could be worth more time, maybe 2 minutes.
Yeah we talked about stuff like at the end of the video :)
@@star0chris Yeah, I'm going through it now, I actually watched Aggy's perspective when it happened. But anyway, keep evolving this, hopefully one day you can make it a league or cup or something like Bingo Brawlers evolved. Tremendous potential here.
@@DiegoSouto-fy9su I think it's a cool format but it would have to change massively to become a competitive, i.e. not based on one person's whims on how impressed they are.
@@yuza1032 Well, I kinda agree, there'd have to be ground rules added. But the charm and innovation of it are Chris' whims, it's about finding the sweet spot in how that will influence the competition without making it weird. Trial and error will lead to that sweet spot eventually.
@@DiegoSouto-fy9su I'd like to keep his influence an element of the game I just think it suits a more casual format series compared to a tournament like Bingo, unless they really leaned into the meme of him as a sadistic DM.
Like potentially other people could come on as host/judge or they take turns doing it.
For the Timer thing: You could have a thing that's like "This is a short timer" if it's 5-6 minutes, or "This is a long timer" if it's 9-10 minutes, that way it's not exactly known, but it's more than just like "There is a timer, it's somewhere between 5-10 minutes"
Yeah I might do that
This is the tournament equivelant to "Look dad, I'm doing a headstand" and I love it ^^
I really appreciated you putting the discussion/feedback section in the video. It helps to invite feedback from comments somewhat, but mostly I’m just impressed by the transparency of it. Many creators would not have the humility to showcase a 3 minute segment of people critiquing them at the end of such a high-effort production.
Yeah I want to hear what the people want to see as well, as the whole point is to put on a fun show for everyone involved :)
The objective of having to impressive Chris during the run is what adds the fun here, otherwise people would mostly just play optimised
“People usually mix up the Ls and Ns in Rennala.”
Shortly after the video releases, Rellana is added to the game.
The people yearn for a Party Souls
Domo got mega robbed on cool objects minigame. Danny DeVito tie hanger didn't even have any competition.
Agreed!
disagree, big mouth billy bass is the coolest soprano reference ever. but also the dog shouldve won !!
Bro wym the big mouth bass is the coolest
Did you see the big mouth bass? It wasn't even close
@thebosstin2420 that's what I'm saying. Big mouth was forsure the coolest
Bri with that lore knowledge in her poem should have gotten an honorary something, it had levels.
@@YokeTB no clue what u watching
@@YokeTB do remember its golf rules lol
loved watching this.. chris' weakness confirmed to be pronunciations though
WORDS ARE HARD
For what it's worth as a random commenter I have some suggestions on how I think the game could be improved as a spectator.
Consider mini-games that can be done without existing the game so you can keep the momentum up, e.g. asking trivia about Elden Ring or the spelling bee while playing. That way they have to juggle decisions while playing the game.
Take out some of the harsh punishments because as a player it's demotivating to lose progress for no reason without competing. Like "lose highest upgraded weapon" should be a consequence of losing a minigame so it feels deserved and encourages rivalry. It's fun to see people suffer but if it's completely arbitrary it loses it's bite.
Make tasks inconvenient but doable, e.g. invert controls/change your control scheme for next 5 minutes, cosplay as a particular enemy or NPC and the most impressive wins. The goal is to avoid being "last" in the pecking order moreso than being first because that is where the harshest punishment could be.
Thanks for the feedback :)
I think having powerful wheel spins like lose your weapon that applies to everyone is good since it would prevent players from doing the most obvious routing for the race and instead promotes more interesting ideas
@@star0chris That makes sense, I hadn't really considered how that meta-knowledge would affect the game.
Anyway, I'm happy you're discussing the format with your players and they're the main people to listen to. Love the videos.
i like how lilaggy at the end there when his screen shows load game screen has a character called YEP rock that is 53 minutes into the game and is at 163 level somehow
Maybe he made a video to show people how fast you can get higher level in order to prep for DLC?
miquella's haligtree in 21 minutes too
They’re all using cheats and character editors to set up different runs. There is a mod that allows you to buy any item in the game from Kale for 0 runes.
Having a separate wheel for minigames that comes around either on a schedule, or when you feel it is appropriate, I feel would avoid quit out fatigue as it happened in this game.
Also, I think for subjective calls, it might sting less for the person in 4th if you work backwards. If you can pinpoint the winner based on logic, then 2nd etc., it's less "you are last cause you suck" and more "you are last cause others were demonstrably closer to the criteria".
Fun concept, keen to see it evolve
Star0chris the kind of guy that host spelling bees with words he can't pronounce properly. Lmao
i like the minigames as they break up the flow of the runners, it throws in a wrench that no one can plan for.
instead of killing boc, how about killing kalle or killing patches (or pope turtle if you want to be evil). Its a bit slower but it throws the same wrench in their plans.
maybe a tierlist of weapons to use on a certain boss? i.e. whip on redahn is -2 strings, hitless renala -2, dagger on baneful shadow -1. just some ideas i had,
But overall HIGHLY entertaining to watch keep up the good content mr. 0chris👍
Thanks for the suggestions and glad you enjoyed :)
This is a really fun concept, would love to see more
cant wait to see whhere this idea goes; its the most fun elden ring gameshow ive seen!
33:30 Domo's advice.... LOL. I had fun watching this.
It's always great to see Yojo just being the best dude he is and hanging out and be the best sport there is....
Pre-prepared checklist is an awesome idea. Give the players a couple as a sort of bait with high risk, but keep the majority of them secret - some only attainable by 1 player:
* Be the first to kill a boss with a remembrance weapon
* Be the first to upgrade flasks to +5
That sort of thing. Maybe some random events like modifications to the goal.
* Killing Leonine Misbegotten is now required.
* Must clear X Catacombs or Y Tunnel.
* Players have 15 minutes to obtain X tear, or Y weapon.
* Players must kill a boss with an upgraded weapon.
* Flasks are now forbidden for 15 minutes
* Weapons with bleed are forbidden for 15 minutes.
* Sorceries are forbidden for 15 minutes.
Secret stuff would be like the cutscene.
Sometimes events don’t have to be followed through either. Rather than complete Millicent’s questline, have players move her to Altus, or move another NPC, or collect a specific bell bearing.
But yes, checklist 100%. Likely an Excel spreadsheet with various generalizations. Sure it puts more work on you as a host, but ensures a fairer (and much tighter) competition.
Excited for the next one!
I reckon to spice things up a bit, being more generous with the "I did a cool thing" strings and gifting proportionate string losses to how much time it took to do the thing could be cool. That way you don't just end up with a net negative by making a fight take way longer, and then only getting 1 min worth of strings back.
And therefore to rebalance the string economy, make the wheelspin timer longer, but make the string rewards/punishments from wheel tasks more significant.
This was a blast to watch, I'm excited to see more of this! I really enjoy the subjectiveness of the mini games, it gives it the vibe of something like Taskmaster, where there is some inherent unfairness which can create friction and debates, lets you rig things to keep the competition active without anyone feeling it's hopeless, and just adds the feeling of playing to the judge instead of it being an objective measure. Leaning a bit more into that with the "please the puppet master" energy will help that feel morelike an intentional theme instead of having too much friction with the on the spot decisions. Splitting things into two wheels might also be a good idea, so you can alternate between in-game challenges and mini games, so the scary events like discarding a weapon or dying can be spaced out, and the quit outs for mini games don't come back to back, helping the pacing and fatigue from repetition, plus it helps the randomness not feel as severe for boss interruptions. Having a list of what you'd consider impressive given the route for the goal while also leaving room for interesting creative ideas would probably help too: the free form nature of it is great, but some consistent structure you can reference back to when there's doubt or conflict can help with presentation confidence. The confusion and creativity for the players is great, so having those consistent details be largely obfuscated to them is fun, with the added consistency you already decided on at the end of this video. Anyways, there's my jumbled thoughts on it, great work, this is a great idea for a semi regular thing and I'm excited to see how the dlc shakes things up!
Thanks for all the feedback and I'm glad you enjoy :)
Also yeah basically everything you mentioned I did for the next Strings Attached episode (video soonish) except for the 2 wheels. I did split it up though and decided to just do a minigame (that I chose which one myself) or spin the wheel whenever the timer was up, but yeah 2 separate wheels could be better
Chris your youtube vids have been so, so good recently mate. Hope to see more of it x
The revenge subplot between BB and Aggy was _golden_ LMAO
And we learned once again, Revenge never pays off lol
I like the convept, and I think this round was better than the last one, but I think one thing that could be improved is the mini-games. A lot of the mini-games in this round were pretty time consuming, with each player taking time to create/find something, then present it, then get judged, etc. And it kills some of the momentum of the race. I felt like most of them went on too long. I liked the Grafted Scion minigame because all four players could do it at once, and it was a lot more exciting to watch. I think the mini-games need to be quicker overall, have a clear goal like killing Grafted Scion or finishing the Wordle from the last round, and not be judged so that they finish quickly and keep the action moving.
this is one of the most entertaining elden ring vids I've seen tbh, really entertaining group of guys and gal and a neat concept
So good i was laughing a lot in this video, such a cool concept. Great content Chris
Loved the concept, great vid! My favorite souls creator!!
Really dope concept! I definitely would love to see more!
39:34 telling aggy he got the eye on the wrong side when hes the only one who got it right is criminal
it's on the wrong side tho. it's meant to be on her right side
It's on her right eye, Melina has her eye thing on the left eye
But have you considered that she's looking in a mirror??
I really loved the video, but my favorite part was how you had the integrity to keep in the Q&A session at the end. It was very big of you to seek criticism, and you accepted it very well
Chris probably does the most fun challenge runs and Elden Ring content ideas I'm kinda regretting I havent subbed for this long after seeing him in Aggy videos.
a fun idea could be to spin a wheel at the end to see how much time a string is worth, just for the chaos
I love that domo was still going through the challenge even after all that feedback talk. Still had to kill adula and get to ranni, dude didn’t give up
This was super fun to watch, Chris. Love your content. Also, Josh is killing those mini games. Great poem and paintings. Josh is so talented.
40:13 - If you ask Miyazaki, the feet matter most
This is such a cool concept with a lot of potential and imo can be better than most other competitions with bingo and what not though with what aggy said maybe having some mini games that don't require the players to quit the game could be more fun like trivia or something like that to encourage players to maybe take a risk for playing longer and risk the wheel spin
Bri: "I have all the details that matter except the feet apparently"
Ranni stans will tell you you're missing the ONLY detail that matters
Yo chris i know you always like comments like a maniac, but i wanted to tell you that your vids have become something of a comfort zone for me and when i want to relax i watch any of your challenge runs and it brings me so much happiness and peace idk. Keep doing what youre doing youre insane + W streamer
Thanks for the kind words :)
Marry Ranni
YoJosherino: "I don't even know if I know how to do this!"
Never been more disappointed. He has sinned in many ways.
32:12 underrated joke
Lmao for real, best joke of the race. I didn't even realize Domo said that until watching the video back hahaha
for sure the most fun Elden Ring video i've watched in a while. Super excited to see where this goes!
Bri showed up with the best poem, legitimately leagued above the rest
no hitting red wolf and radahn but then dying to mimic tear twice is such a mood
This guy really hates bri lmao
Her poem was too big brained for me lol
For real dude. Genuinely upsetting.
Thank you. I was getting bored while I waited for the DLC to drop.
There's no shot the best drawing got called the worst. This is riot material.
as someone who studied poetry and japanese art and literature in university, bri got robbed on the poem lol
Just finished the previous "fun" race, so this is a great surprise to see that a new one just came out c:
This was such a fun watch. Great video concept. Looking forward to your next video
pls keep this series going it’s amazing
Dude you are the king of souls comedy holy shit this was a blast
once again, commenting that NSA3 is very strong. i like the direction NSA2 took but i am glad points arent arbitrary or "subjective" anymore. the wheel + mini games are great mix-ups but i think the "secret objectives" are the magic bullet. also your choice of players deserves a shoutout, i know aggy and its nice to watch/discover new souls streamers!
idk how many more episodes you're gonna make, i will for sure watch out for #4!
Poor Domo. Great vid!
I think you should somehow balance the mini games so they aren't all at the end like this
Maybe set every 4 spins is guaranteed a mini game
I definitely need more of these concepts. I've seen so many "Elden Ring but I only do X" or "every boss x50 at lvl1" and it's getting a little stale. So this stuff is really fun and refreshing.
Although, if I had to name one aspect I'd like to see changed in coming projects it's the definition of what does and doesn't reward the runner. That way they don't do any crazy strats that gain them nothing in the end. (I know it has been said before but I wanted to chime in anyway).
THIS IS SAUR COOL I EXPECTED PEOPLE'S SUGGESTIONS BUT I DIDNT EXPECT THIS MANY
These are so much fun, and I think they'll just get better as the format is refined
This was great, I think it's a great mix-up on the formula :) I'm sure you have lots of people you plan on inviting, but I would absolutely love to play in one of these if you're ever looking for anyone :P
Mb add mechanic which revolves around the number of strings the player currently has. For example, the more strings you have you need to get worse punishes. Mb like, person with the least amount of strings needs to destroy only current armor, and the one with the most, needs to destroy all of it. It creates negative feedback loop for comebacks, but mb make it so, successfully completing a punishment removes more strings for them. I just like the lore idea, that the more string you have - you get worse punishments. Also you can add some betting mechanic, like, I m betting N strings for completing this boss hitless. Or straight up items, like your are immune to the next challenge, or make another person complete a challenge, something like that.
Blueberrybri's youtube link in the comments doesnt work, great video btw!
Thanks for letting me know! Should be good now :)
Until it came up here I actually forgot that Fort Laiedd even existed lol
Get ready for an Elden Ringame Changer! I’m hour host Star Chris, and I’ve been here the whole time!
Great video. Ton of fun to watch.
gotta do more like this! this concept may be my fav Elden ring vid
"For the challenge you must marry ranni"
30 mins later
"Ranni is cringe, I don't really care"
dogging on Bock is big sad, He's my boi and his insecurity's distinguish him from all the other charecters reminding me that there was a world before how the lands between sit now. Bock is friendly fellow trying his best and I love him for that!
Foudn this video late, but I thought this was great. Would like to see giving people strings if their boss strat is "cringe" or too optimal just to punish optimal play which is funny
Never too late to watch a video :) and yeah that could be funny too lol
The impressive things should be listed beforehand I think! You can have the list for ur stream or just to show after and that way the runners dont need to keep asking/begging for something to remove strings.
I also liked somebody elses idea about doing the minigames while the run continues. Trivia/spelling bee sort of stuff could be fun to pressure the runners in intense moments
You should get chat to vote on some of the more subjective mini-games, judging poetry is tough. Hoping to see more episode of this, super fun concept!
In Bree’s defense a noun is a person, place, or thing. Dog would fall under “thing” category, justice for doggo!! Dogs are very cool.
This concept is fire. Super excited for the next one!!!
I'm so glad I get to watch this in the stupid hour I have to wait for the dlc.
It’s like a combo of bingo, um actually and taskmaster? I like it, quite entertaining!
Great concept! If you do this again I think it'd be a lot smoother with the contestants streams on something lower latency like VDO Ninja. I used to do stuff like this a lot so if you need help with the production lmk!
I like this mario party version of elden ring lol, maybe make note of the cool things players do throughout and give those out as "bonus stars" at the end rather than announcing them as they go. Could cause some more surprising twist endings
«Fuck boc dude» is fighting words
How many strings would it have been if Dom had died to Rick
Idk at least like 3 lol
Really loved this video, think live would of been such a fun chaotic time. Looking forward to the next time!
This is such an amazing concept, it's like a speedrunner Taskmaster! Love it ❤
I love this concept, one of the best elden ring videos i've ever seen
This is like Jackbox for Elden Ring and I love it
did i just come across an actual elden ring GAME SHOW??? i hope this video pops off its rly fun
When Chris said that there was a random objective, my mind immediately went to "marrying Ranni", only to be surprised when that was actually the goal.
This was really fun to watch thank you Chris
this was really good. Nice innovations
Great video Chris, looking forward to the next one
Aggy drawing a Mortal Kombat character and coming 2nd triggered me hard haha
I love these kind of games, maybe it was said before but I'd suggest to tell the contestants that there are X amount of secret goals (like watching Ranni's cutscene could have been one).
"Im too poor, i have a mind hut"💀
Please do more of these. It was fun to watch :)
any thoughts on if minigames were slightly less impactful at giving/taking away strings, but doing well (or maybe even getting last?) in them would give clues to more obscure out of the way hidden objectives?
I don't think I'll make mini games less impactful, but the hint for a hidden objective could be cool, thanks for the feedback :)
The spelling bee felt a little wack, Hoarah Loux into Nepheli Loux, the difficulty of the words felt really random, also, the amount of strings gained and lost during minigames felt very random, such as everyone getting minus strings for the killing scion spin.
Dear Ranni,
Your hair so blue, like monster drink,
your smile so cold, it makes my heart sink
Your arms so nimble, they give me a rush,
your fingers so dexterous, they make me yearn the blue gush
Your hat looks so cool, like Harry P,
that's why I ask of you Ranni, please marry me.
My entrant to the star0chris poetry slam contest :)
As I was watching I was thinking: to prevent the wheel from giving you too many minigames in a row or non-minigames in a row, you could have 2 wheels, one for minigames and one for other stupid tasks/commands. Then you could time them around each other, and do say 3 tasks/commands, and then do a minigame. I’m sure having no structure makes it way more fun and unpredictable lmao, but at least that way the contestants could maybe at least know that the next wheel spin would be a minigame? Just trying to throw an idea out there 👍
Chris is getting big enough that I'm starting to become worried about his logo. As much as I love Beedle, Nintendo don't mess around with use of their IP.
I love to see how much the channel has grown in the past few years, though. These types of events are a lot of fun and deserve the large audience gained from them. I'm excited for the next one.
Yeah it's something that has been on my mind for a while, but if Distortion2 can use Gourmet Guy from Paper Mario then I'm probably fine lol
The poem minigame ranking was way out of wack, it should have been bri or dom winning, josh in third, and then aggy- heres why:
Aggy's haiku follows the false american belief that haikus must follow a 5-7-5 syllable structure, when they abolutely don't have to. Furthermore, haikus focus on grace/elegance and highlighting nature. Aggy's haiku is a low effort grade-school level poem.
Josh's poem rhymes with an AABBCC rhyme scheme, and has a pleasing syllabic flow. However, he focuses on superficial facets, like Ranni's blue skin and puppet body.
Dom's poem, rhymes with an ABABCC rhyme scheme, and has a pleasing syllabic flow. However, he addresses Ranni and says plainly "I'll do what you want, even against the wishes of the rest of the nobles (crime)." That kind of commitment is exceptional.
Bri's haiku, elegant and pleasing to the ear (focuses on flow and feeling), also focuses on facets of Ranni that she *chose.* Ranni chose to cast aside the birthright, chose to seek an end to the cycle. By focusing on the aspects of Ranni that she chose, it shows a deeper understanding of her wife, and a deeper commitment.
Either Dom or Bri should have won, because Dom actually addresses and speaks to Ranni, as this is a poem *for* Ranni, or because Bri wrote the best poem by far, utilizing the poem's strengths to convey a deep understanding and appreciation for Ranni. Since I can't fix this injustice, I'll settle for explaining why Chris' ranking was wrong. Have a nice day!
Art is Subjective :)
Thank you, the way the poems were ranked was making me crazy. I also thought Bri's was the best and most poetic while also being lore-based gave it a huge plus to me as a poem "for" Ranni. If I were Ranni I'd rather my consort talk about my life, ambitions, and spirit instead of just the fact that I am blue.
Also Aggy called her a goddess when her whole thing is that she is an empyrean decidedly NOT a goddess and DOES NOT want to be. That would be more of an insult to call her that
love the video, id like to suggest a minigame, players have one minute to find the coolest item in the game they can find and do a show and tell on it
What in the world happened in Domo’s run to be so behind
He just went for things to try and impress me that didn't end up being worth the time for how many strings he got removed, which is mainly on me since I didn't really consider the time spent on a "challenge" compared to how many strings should be removed to make it worth it. Something I'm keeping in mind to improve on for next time for sure
This but with a randomizer attached should be on the menu at some point
