Apparently, Mario Party has Ranked now

[@matthewsteigauf470]

Bots online can be found by looking for: 1. Instant shopping 2. Using human names 3.Slight delay in the items and menuing 4. Readying up last 5. Being able to fast forward 6. Skipping item mini games. You will almost never get 4 real people in a game. Kinda a bummer. I'd trade map selection for that if I could

[@lucassavvas7956]

there r discords u can join with or without voice chat with people that dont leave often

[@Nerdywolf18]

They also don't have high scores on the mini games that display high scores

[@hithere9438]

its so lame, killed any interest i wouldve had to grind this

[@MelodyLumina]

PartyPro15 vs. LIL•NESS•X, the battle of the century also the names don't disappear anymore but if you can fast forward someone else's cutscenes or they buy something without the shop ui coming up they're a cpu

[@dracoshield2344]

I think that means the Koopa was an npc

[@mikerob12]

yeah koopa was an npc from the start since they could fast foward for them right away

[@DJ_Dave]

PartyPro15 is alright but LilNessX is better tbh

[@noz9516]

Boo and Koopa became bots almost immediately after game start (The names do not change in this game mode which is funny). You cannot fast-forward other real players. Only bots and yourself. 💔

[@johnsmith2875]

Yea I think they were always bots. The rank matchup is usually one other person and two bots unfortunately bc its so bad

[@CrazyGoat8]

It's so funny to watch the game knowing this, because I noticed immediately, but Jacob and Jo thought they were playing against real people

[@Pixel.1003]

10:37 Koopa addressing bowser jr as 'your majesty' is such a small yet adorable detail. Like ah yes this tiny little man is prince I I respect him

[@cypressidy]

no community note, it's real

[@antray6848]

Looking at it I'm fairly certain that both Boo and Koopa are bots, not only from behavior on the board and in minigames, but mostly because both use real names as their username. For future games this is probably a good way to tell a real player from an easy bot lol

[@novacoore]

Yeah Toadette was the only human in the lobby, that’s a common issue with Mario party queue is that you usually end up with two human players and two bots in each lobby

[@novacoore]

38:20 ahh..woops.

[@doodledoofus3708]

Jamboree does not do online multiplayer the same as Superstars does. It will fill the lobby with bots with generic names if there aren’t enough players, and if a player disconnects their name does not change, only their board behavior.

[@sirboringname]

This video slowly turns into Jacob and Jo becoming conspiracy theorists and calling people androids

[@archduke2277]

we need a mario party betting market. imagine losing the house to a fucking chomp call

[@AriesZero]

Imagine a Chance Time...

[@alenor210]

For that we’d need live Mario Party competitions that are regularly viewed by a decent number of people. If we can get that, someone will set up a betting market.

I didn't, thanks for telling !

[@AverageKatz]

thank tell! ing!

[@buddymmx3936]

Fking spoilers smhhh

[@kingshark422]

Crazy how it only pairs you with ONE real person. Immediately from the beginning you could tell Toadette was the only real one if you payed close attention

[@kylepantoja-KP]

Saying the ranks are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Plat, Diamond. Does this foreshadow the next change to be Alpharad Diamond

[@koolooc726]

I have not finished the video but I hope jacob realizes that in this game their names don't change when they disconnect. This is in fact made because its pretty common to have CPUs from the start Edit 1: 10 minutes in and I already see the only real player is toadette Edit 2: 38:04 he is already realizing it

[@CrazyGoat8]

"Koopa is definitely not a bot" Koopa was definitely a bot

[@BoardHoard]

19:30 So I guess I know what the channel is gonna be called next year.

[@gl1tch857]

Yeah at most points when playing online Mario party, it’s rare to see even 2 human players with you, it’s mostly 2 bots each game, and you can tell because they all act the exact same

[@yoshimario40]

Alpharad beats up two bots and a kid. Edit: That final star steal is crazy.

[@scarlet7960]

dude spoilers

when PartyPro15 has a bad day at school he spams stickers

I'm actually invested, I would watch alpha and Jo climb the mario party ranked ladder lol

Holy cow I didn't know that you're a computer :o What's life like as a Nintendo bot?

[@dropfish3109]

damn he was the koopa

[@zachburch6741]

loved the anti-persperant joke this video, definitely my favorite part!

[@NaichiSendou]

i wasn't the koopa, but emotionally i am that koopa

[@frostyclouded]

ramen had major 12 year old vibes. old enough to be capable of conscious thought but not yet a real hardcore gamer

[@terenceosorio6680]

Idk if it's going to be brought up in this video, but I've noticed something very deceptive from Nintendo and this game lol. The bots in this game will disguise themselves with "real" names instead of just the character's name. Kinda lame Nintendo. Have any of you guys noticed this?

[@CheesyLizzy]

Ohhh, I really thought these were just turn 1 disconnects cause the servers are bad But you're right they could be bots from the start. Toadette was for sure real though. We were able to see her records in Minigames and she didn't wait for Jacob to be ready for minigames

[@terenceosorio6680]

@CheesyLizzy Yeah, minigame confirmation is the biggest tell for sure. That and shops, but you don't always see shops

[@bomberbosses]

They somehow downgraded the worldwide online multiplayer from SuperStars

[@terenceosorio6680]

@bomberbosses yeah :(

[@sirboringname]

Nintendo online games tend to do that a lot. I noticed in Fzero 99 that the same basic names always show up

[@Waltimate]

Yodhi's Wooly World is a delightful game, and you cannot convince me otherwise.

[@Crazy56U]

I wasn’t paying attention at the start, so it took me a solid minute into the board to realize you weren’t Toadette.

[@loneXolf]

They need to fix match making, games get instantly created when 2 players are found, 4 real players + random board should had been it for pro rules.

[@Sunnylyndis]

I think Boo and Koopa were easy bots. But I'd get nervous if I saw a 150 button mash >.

[@agents6276]

Thanks guys! So glad to see all the support for indie games like this :)

[@TopityTurvity]

[@onebear6504]

Video starts at 4:25

[@ron5348]

1:41 💀

[@Jojothejman]

7:35 if you watch the ready checks you will see that toadette readies immediately, she is clearly a person. Boo and Koopa, on the other hand wait until Alpha readies, then ready in perfect rhythm one after the other afterwards. If you check every mini game they will do the exact same rhythm for readying every time. They were bots the whole time.

[@Jojothejman]

You can also kinda tell if you pay attention to the rhythm of their turns.

[@BananHippi]

My source tells me that the classic video game Phantom Dust has ranked now; you should play it perhaps

[@Pearl_Blossom]

4:55 Jamboree actually doesn't do that, you're thinking of Superstars However you can tell someone is a bot when the character moves spaces faster and instantly buys items from shops instead of opening up the selection and manually selecting something Also CPUs can't use stickers but that's less reliable since some players choose not to I think 21:24 - 21:39 is a really good example for the CPU signs I'm describing

[@lililovesdimitri7771]

as someone YEARS AGO that LOVED SMASH CASUALLY you all said my gsp 100,000 was GSP HELL and THE WORST OF THE WORST, hearing joe say, it was probably just some 25 year olds that were really bad at videogames made my soul come alive. I was just a 17 year old, who was bad at video games. Thank you.

I honestly feel like on this grind, if it is a grind, should definitely be fought with a controller that can use Turbo for the mashing minigames. Just because.

Fyi queue sniping is super easy in this game if you and a friend queue at the same time. it's garunteed you'll be in a game together, just a question of bot count.
