Matt and Pat living in their own little hick-impression world and laughing hysterically at each other's jokes while Woolie and Liam completely sandbag them is kind of adorable.
+UltimateKyuubiFox I appreciate it. Pat has stagnated into this stupid trend of "let me say a stupid thing and eel face to make it funny." He needs to be sandbagged more.
+UltimateKyuubiFox It's almost as if their old Machinima 2BF episode selves took their bodies over for a little bit. Woolie and Liam partially ignoring it makes for a nice contrast.
Rouna's stance isn't wrong, Pat. Reverse blade is a completely legitimate way of holding a sword and was actually a trained skill in both Eastern and Western bladed martial arts, though it was more for defensive purposes than offensive, with the weapon (generally a dagger or shortsword) usually taking the place of a shield. Going to a carnival at night is legit, though. :p
Thank you for this, most people just thinks it's to look "cool". It's also more useful indoors, bringing the blade back in the opposite direction faster, better for closer fighting, and it's the style that you get the quickest when you disarm an enemy. It's very useful to learn or focus on reverse grip style.
It's just Rick and Melty. Rrrick and Melty and their adventures, Melty. Rick and Melty, forever and forever, a hundred years Rick and Melty, s... things. Me and Rick and Melty runnin' around and Rick and Melty time. Aaall day long forever. All, a hundred days Rick and Melty forever a hundred times.
sokumo tanaka Japanese created white characters. You can say they come from fantasy land so they are not "westerners" but bullshit those characters dont look caucasian.
hoIyforks These caucasian characters with japanese names, next you'll say mei from overwatch is white. when there's smoe concreate info of that being otherwise. Nah usually when an artist creates something, they use their own skintones/ nations in mind. Those are japanese my friend, no matter how much imprinting is done. (but keep it up, I'm loving this joke/bit)
"That's like Rachel one year later" I mean, I dunno how children grow up in Canada but I have yet to see a girl grow a solid two feet and hit puberty in a year.
For some reason, watching this gameplay makes me want another Shining Force game, and to write a letter to Sega Japan. I never even played those games. Weird.
Wasn't there a Shining Force title that was kinda like a gameplay precursor to Golden Sun? (Haven't tried any of the Shining series but I adore Golden Sun.) Also, if done right, fighters like this can be kinda fun since you get to use your favorite characters.
Whenever Fuccboiven complains over ANY anime-related material you gotta remember one thing: He watched all of Sword Art Online. Bonus points if he liked it until he found out that the majority people hate it.
Nagato Uzumaki Pretty sure Liam knows it. And this has been brought up before by Pat and last time they did react. At this point everybody just knows that Pat's trying to bait.
SassMaster9000 It did? I only saw comments of people saying how how they are happy Pat's getting sandbagged. Guess there are always some people who can't ignore bait.
Yourson Isold Yup. A lot of the comments I'm seeing now are "How DARE he say Spice and Wold sucks!" Which I find hilarious because saying it's terrible is literally all he said. People are easy to anger.
Am I the only one that thinks the character animations look like they were made in Flash? I'm not saying this to complain, it just has that sort of feel to it.
+Akariakaza 13 yeah it's forreal a shame I've played the originals and their fan translations so many times and the new ones feel so fan servicey and watered down
I like how almost every character has a figure now. Some are pretty nice (including Pairon, aka Tifa). I've played Shining Wind and Shining Blade, they're pretty average games. You guys are honestly not missing much.
Hey guys, i really like some of your videos on old gaming gems like xenogears for the ps1, it made me play it for the first time and i loved it. Any chance for a video on legends of the dragoon? i think its amazing and not that many people know it
I sometimes wonder if these Japanese devs intentionally make their titles as incomprehensibly engrish as possible just to fuck with us. Edit: Also, is that girl at 9:09 swinging a giant popsicle?
+HelicopterOctopus They do. Sort of. It's more for the Japanese kids just learning English to go "eeeeeeeeeh? sugoiiiiii~!" But I bet they get a chuckle from seeing English speakers try and parse the mess.
+TTKB Pretty much. I actually have a hard time believing they spent all this time making the game but somehow didn't spend the few minutes required to make sure the title of their game is grammatically sound.
Mr. TheSw1tcher, Could you please upload more blade arcus from shining ex videos as HD video with 1080px resolutions or 1080p60px resolutions( with clearer image( screen))?
sometimes rage is a cold thing. frosty rage. calm rage. the sort of anger that goes beyond screaming, and ends up as a calm smile that lingers. even as they do the most violent shit. rage is not necessarily fire. rage can be ice, and the rage that is ice is the scariest rage.
Actually, Pat there is reason to hold the sword in the reverse grip. From my understanding it was used as a sort of "infighting" sword style in confined spaces and at close distances. The other advantage was that when doing a quick draw it would result in the sword coming from an unusual position, potentially throwing off your opponent. Think of the stance changes in Ni Oh. There is no one ultra stance that counters all the others so it's very situational.
On the swords being held wrong: There's quite a lot of medieval artwork showing swords being held in icepick grip (the holding the sword backward thing) and quite a lot of evidence that it used to be done even in the west, but not for slashing but for throwing the swords.
So this is the first I've ever seen or heard of this game, but I'm pretty confident that Urayukihime is OP. High damage, high speed, best range. Melty SEEMS terrible, but I'm sure a skilled player can be good with her. I just don't think a skilled player can make anyone so good that Oraorayukarihime-san-sama won't have a distinct advantage at an equal skill level.
The only thing I've learned about this game prior to this video is that it features characters from the Shining series and that Fenrir is broken as fuck.
This game looks so strange. The character sprites look beautiful but there's something very abrupt about their animation that kind of kills all the effort spent making them look so pretty otherwise.
+lvl5Vaporeon and then Totalbiscuit comes right in to get the Super Best Friends to join his ongoing boycott against Sega and get them to stop playing Sega games altogether. yeah that'll show Sega who's boss.
Pat the reason that holding your sword is cool is because anyone who has done it in anime/manga/whatever ended up usually being a huge badass. So, it kind of became a 'they are so badass they hold their weapon wrong' thought I suppose? That is how I always thought it was.
Woolie's Stand power is that whatever character he picks retroactively becomes the game's boss
Matt and Pat living in their own little hick-impression world and laughing hysterically at each other's jokes while Woolie and Liam completely sandbag them is kind of adorable.
+UltimateKyuubiFox I appreciate it. Pat has stagnated into this stupid trend of "let me say a stupid thing and eel face to make it funny." He needs to be sandbagged more.

"Terrible anime spice and wolf" The bait is real tonight boys!
Pat's cruisin for a bruisin
+Rose Nakahara I just love the fact that there is some awkward silence after the statement.
he thought it was porn and hated it when he found out it was about economics
+Rose Nakahara What is this new "Pat has good taste" meme?
+Rose Nakahara ANNNNDDDD IIIITTT'SSS WORRRRKIIIINNNGGGGGGGG
They're finally playing Blazblue. Now people can shut up.
finally
+Desert Hobo .... you know your fucking right haha
Now we can complain about them not playing what they should have played ages ago: Psychic Force 2012.
When Rage learned the "Kawaii anime boy" technique he didn't realize how life changing it would be
He only pulls it out in the most dire of situations.
Woolie doesn't get how to play half the cast because they aren't final bosses.
in other words, he can't cheese.
+The Alpha Rooster you know if woolie could play shao kan in MK9 and gon in tekken 3 he fucking would.
Rouna's stance isn't wrong, Pat.

It's very useful to learn or focus on reverse grip style.
I was on the fence about watching Spice and Wolf but Patt's hatred has convinced me to start it
That's how you know it's good, cause Pat hates it.
It's just Rick and Melty. Rrrick and Melty and their adventures, Melty.
Rick and Melty, forever and forever, a hundred years Rick and Melty,
s... things. Me and Rick and Melty runnin' around and Rick and Melty
time. Aaall day long forever. All, a hundred days Rick and Melty forever
a hundred times.
Rick and Melty dot com!
Rage finally switching over to the winning team.

+N00BSYBORG ....white?
These are japanese characters, thou of course whites gotta insert themselves somehow XD
sokumo tanaka Japanese created white characters. You can say they come from fantasy land so they are not "westerners" but bullshit those characters dont look caucasian.
hoIyforks These caucasian characters with japanese names, next you'll say mei from overwatch is white. when there's smoe concreate info of that being otherwise.
Nah usually when an artist creates something, they use their own skintones/ nations in mind.
Those are japanese my friend, no matter how much imprinting is done. (but keep it up, I'm loving this joke/bit)
"Floor ice cream gives you health!" -Pit
glad Pat's spice and wolf comment got sandbagged
"That's like Rachel one year later"
I mean, I dunno how children grow up in Canada but I have yet to see a girl grow a solid two feet and hit puberty in a year.
+Love Taps
They have to grow up fast in Canada or they'll be eaten by a moose.
+globox123456789 Not Moose, but mystical Canadian Men.
Charles Bronson losing screen:
"'dis ain't over."
"What's that weapon?"
Don't worry Pat, you'll eventually become very familiar with it during the Dark Souls III playthrough.
man i have to say this i never get tired of this intro
I tried to fast forward past the intro and I got stuck on a picture of pat for a solid 30 seconds
Off to a great start.
27:01 Speaking of Kamiya, how's that Yakuza 5 LP coming' along guys?
but no, seriously, I cant be the only one who thinks the goddamn sprites look as if they where animated in flash... back in 2005 or something

MY NIGGA
Woolie's right about this game's Rage. Reiji works as an ice name and given he's got a katana, that's probably it.
This game looks like Blazblue, but it's not, so I guess it is okay to play
Who can challenge Roselinde? A woman who _uses_ Pyramid Head as a melee weapon?
Pat's laugh is magical.
Oh come on guys, that's totally Rage. That's The Rage of Nihon.
The dueling carny/hick impressions were amazing.
"She's in a battle dress."
Woolie. It's a combat skirt.
Yeah!
+kylerqaz22 you guys know what's up
*fist bump*
Pat was totally right about Rage actually being Reiji! Holy shit.
That was woolie
Well, whoever it was was super right.
Yes, continue to tease us with the slight hope of the Berserk PS2 playthrough.
+Tigre Didn't they already play it? Or is Sword of the Berserk not the one you're talking about?
+AstralMuffin105 The one they played was the one on the Dreamcast, and I was talking about the PS2 one that showed up in one of the mailbag videos.
Tigre Oh, I guess I didn't know that. Thank you for the clarification.
For some reason, watching this gameplay makes me want another Shining Force game, and to write a letter to Sega Japan.
I never even played those games. Weird.
The original Shining Force (Genesis) is one of my favorite games ever.
Woolie has an ability where history is rewritten to make the first or second character he picks in a fighting game into the boss character.
All bow before the power of Woolie's stand! Swamp Thing!
The daily grind doesn't cramp your flow, your title says assistant but your hair says ceo.
Iaido (ee-eye-do) is the style where the sword is rapidly drawn for a slash, then resheathed before the next attack.
I really wish they'd make another Shining Force game.
So When Does Freq potara fuse with Rage here to become True Rage from Fight For NY?
A moment of silence for what Shining Force used to be. A moment of silence for what we lost....
It's a little soul crushing that the once amazing Shining Force series has degenerated into this...
Wasn't there a Shining Force title that was kinda like a gameplay precursor to Golden Sun? (Haven't tried any of the Shining series but I adore Golden Sun.) Also, if done right, fighters like this can be kinda fun since you get to use your favorite characters.
Nathan Bourn Golden Sun is more like the spiritual successor to Shining Force, as both were made by Camelot studios.
That one Roselinde overhead may be slow, but it literally does 50% lifebar if it hits.
Ok guys final battle:
Pat: I'll pick who I'm worst with
Woolie: I'll pick the boss again
@TheSw1tcher 1:01 The Rumble Fish? 2? When???? How????
I'm so inclined to fall for pats spice and wolf bait.
I love the idea of a character with a name that contradicts their personality cause it makes me think what was he like when he earned that name
Got something to say about Spice and Wolf Fuccboiven?
He isn't called Sensible Opinions Pat, y'know. He's callef Angry Pat.
Whenever Fuccboiven complains over ANY anime-related material you gotta remember one thing: He watched all of Sword Art Online.
Bonus points if he liked it until he found out that the majority people hate it.
I'm so happy that everyone sandbags Pat's mindless attempts to get a reaction by insulting Spice & Wolf.
They didn't react because they didn't know and/or care what it is.
Nagato Uzumaki
Pretty sure Liam knows it. And this has been brought up before by Pat and last time they did react. At this point everybody just knows that Pat's trying to bait.
+Yourson Isold And yet it still super fucking worked.
SassMaster9000
It did? I only saw comments of people saying how how they are happy Pat's getting sandbagged. Guess there are always some people who can't ignore bait.
Yourson Isold Yup. A lot of the comments I'm seeing now are "How DARE he say Spice and Wold sucks!" Which I find hilarious because saying it's terrible is literally all he said. People are easy to anger.
How far the Shining series has fallen. Anyone remember the Genesis entries as well as Shining the Holy Ark on the Saturn?:(
Am I the only one that thinks the character animations look like they were made in Flash? I'm not saying this to complain, it just has that sort of feel to it.
they look like 3d models to me
+DarklordKyo They look more like 3D models, that being said they are still really bad animations...
I hope Tifa Lockheart fights Holo in this.
Match at 10:00 starts

Protip: Xiaomei is actually a cat. No, seriously, she's a cat that turns into a people. She probably has used a litterbox at least once.

It's already at the other side of the planet. That's why we get all those Chinese games.
Your mistake is thinking they are still in the barrel
I like how almost every character has a figure now. Some are pretty nice (including Pairon, aka Tifa).
I've played Shining Wind and Shining Blade, they're pretty average games. You guys are honestly not missing much.
That's why people pine for the old games - the new games under the "Shining" brand are very different in style and strikingly mediocre.
Hey guys, i really like some of your videos on old gaming gems like xenogears for the ps1, it made me play it for the first time and i loved it. Any chance for a video on legends of the dragoon? i think its amazing and not that many people know it
I never get tired of this intro!
Zylo was fantastic. I wish there was a new Shining Force game...
> Picks Roselinde
Sheit they picked a boss already. She was brutal in Shining Blade.
I like that Matt and Liam and totally in on calling boss character shenanigans on Woolie for no reason. Woolz we love u
When will 2hu appear in a fisticuffs or scrublords I wonder.
This game actually looks pretty fun. If I knew someone who already had a copy, I'd totally go a few sets.
The intro always makes me feel so welcome
liam took that win over wooly so non chalantly. I was literally yelling with joy.
Rick and Melty the best adult swim show
Technically every character is the final boss since the game ends with just a fight against a black version of your character.
+CommanderCorson
So that means you'll be fighting Black RAGE?
BAKANA.
I sometimes wonder if these Japanese devs intentionally make their titles as incomprehensibly engrish as possible just to fuck with us.
Edit: Also, is that girl at 9:09 swinging a giant popsicle?
+HelicopterOctopus It's revenge for Hiroshima
+HelicopterOctopus They do. Sort of. It's more for the Japanese kids just learning English to go "eeeeeeeeeh? sugoiiiiii~!" But I bet they get a chuckle from seeing English speakers try and parse the mess.
+TTKB Pretty much. I actually have a hard time believing they spent all this time making the game but somehow didn't spend the few minutes required to make sure the title of their game is grammatically sound.
+Philloboy123 I guess French Bread has the hardest revenge boner out of all of them, then
HelicopterOctopus nah man, that's just a desperate attempt. Then you tell them to HURRY UP WITH MY DAMN CROISSANT
You guys are just scrapping the FISTICUFFS barrel right now.
+Kaiden Krueger The barrel is I N F I N I T E
+HermitBlake I think they may've changed barrels at some point.
Mr. TheSw1tcher, Could you please upload more blade arcus from shining ex videos as HD video with 1080px resolutions or 1080p60px resolutions( with clearer image( screen))?
I appreciate the subtle Kingdom Hearts references, Liam.
Is this coming to the US? I play Valkenhyn, Sabrewulf, Tabain, Beowulf, and I would love to add Fenrir to the list! How do I get this now!?
sometimes rage is a cold thing. frosty rage. calm rage.
the sort of anger that goes beyond screaming, and ends up as a calm smile that lingers. even as they do the most violent shit.
rage is not necessarily fire. rage can be ice, and the rage that is ice is the scariest rage.
+Salty "Tranquil Fury" is the best way to put it. Getting so mad, your anger sends you full circle, putting you into an almost zen-like state.
+Granheldt Garmov that's the kind of rage i feel every day i live.
So............are we still gonna get Touhou IAMP (and maybe ULiL) for Fisticuffs?
It has to be Hisoutensoku and ULiL; deckbuilding and weird gravity for all!
Actually, Pat there is reason to hold the sword in the reverse grip. From my understanding it was used as a sort of "infighting" sword style in confined spaces and at close distances.

There is no one ultra stance that counters all the others so it's very situational.
Did Tony Taka do the art for this game?
+skolkor Yeah, he's been doing the art for all the Shining games since Shining Hearts.
How many hits you can confirme in the frozen time.
can anyone tell me if this game has a replay channel? or can a player upload a replay to their profile so others can see?
On the swords being held wrong:
There's quite a lot of medieval artwork showing swords being held in icepick grip (the holding the sword backward thing) and quite a lot of evidence that it used to be done even in the west, but not for slashing but for throwing the swords.
From the tumbnail I sense bad anime and instantly jump in head first.
+sokumo tanaka theres good anime?
withadeafeningcry You have a long way to go.
The DLC code may not be expired, you may just have to use it on whatever PSN store the game originates from, probably JP or TW in this case.
So this is the first I've ever seen or heard of this game, but I'm pretty confident that Urayukihime is OP. High damage, high speed, best range.
Melty SEEMS terrible, but I'm sure a skilled player can be good with her. I just don't think a skilled player can make anyone so good that Oraorayukarihime-san-sama won't have a distinct advantage at an equal skill level.
+Captain Doomsday yeah Urayukihime's sword is so powerful compared everyone else
Is Play-Asia that one site where you can buy hentays?
The only thing I've learned about this game prior to this video is that it features characters from the Shining series and that Fenrir is broken as fuck.
so are they just done with hour long episode?
isnt the upside blade style for defensive purposes?
This game looks so strange. The character sprites look beautiful but there's something very abrupt about their animation that kind of kills all the effort spent making them look so pretty otherwise.
You know it's going to be a good Fistifcuffs when you can barely understand the name of the game
YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PAIRONS

That intro never gets old.
I waited for this game since 2013 can't believe they actually made it. I'm getting the ps3 import

i say this everytime i see this game but god i love Tony Takas art work
I felt Pat's Dis on Holo.
I fucking love Shining Force. Pat do a full playthrough of Shining Force 1 and 2.
Pat the reason that holding your sword is cool is because anyone who has done it in anime/manga/whatever ended up usually being a huge badass. So, it kind of became a 'they are so badass they hold their weapon wrong' thought I suppose? That is how I always thought it was.
looks cool
is it released here or is this from the Liam Storage
+Mr.Glasses "Thanks play-asia"
hoIyforks ?
+Mr.Glasses Play-Asia is a online store where you can buy pretty much any entertainment product that comes from Asia.

When are you guys gonna play Bomberman 64 or DK 64 for this or Scrublords?
Once again we see evidence of Pat having a minimum Fights Per Episode quota when evaluating anime.
When do we see The Outfoxies? That was some old-school Namco sweetness.
This game is sweet!
You know, just once, I'd like it if they just looked at the move list
