Best Friends Play God Hand (Part 13)

[@aivalera]

While Montreal was dying, Woolie was studying the hand.

[@Hol-Horse]

Why do you think Montreal was dying? that's right, Woolie tested the God Hand on people.

[@4Wilko]

As in a Poker hand.

[@carom1]

So I did some grinding offscreen

[@brainflash1]

But we can't play the rest of Persona 5 without getting paid.

[@exploitativity]

- Woolie instead of Pat somehow

[@sousedmonk7418]

welp, no sleep for me tonight

[@Jasper_Silva]

So I did some gambling offscreen...

[@Zer0BloodX]

So I played some Pazaak off screen...

[@josephphillips2071]

11:42 - The subtitle in on the orange item in enter the gungeon is "You're not Alexander" and in the ammonomicon the description reads "With this orange, your style... it's impetuous. Your defense, impregnable."

[@Maioly]

ok, I officially have to stop hating enter the gungeon now, cuz someone working on it had good taste.

[@0LIMBO0]

Maioly that's an unhealthy way to think.

[@GabDLV70]

Maioly you hated Enter the Gungeon??. What was wrong with you????.

[@djh491]

The scene where the goon politely moves in front of the window is absolute gold.

[@Chadius]

That cutscene really is God Hand in a nutshell.

[@ShadowWolfRising]

10/10

[@overlordk8030]

Pat: But you're cheating. Isn't that what Gene does every time he uses the Godhand? Just ask Tiger Joe.

[@otakon17]

Kevin K so, EVERYONE had trouble with Tiger Joe, not just me?

[@gaminggoddess85]

Pat: "You're really killing it today!" _Woolie proceeds to die several times in lame ways_

[@goodvillain1015]

Woolie followed Pat's strats of grinding a little bit off-screen.

[@Riggs_The_Roadie]

Goodvillain 101 I've been wondering for the longest time, why do people have a problem with that? I genuinely don't really understand it, they get done with the busywork, they hopefully get better at the game, and the rest of the LP goes smoothly. I understand if the grind included story or lore and shit like God Of War. That kind of sucks and we don't get to see their reactions to cool shit, but otherwise I don't see what's wrong.

[@4thSurviver]

I for one am glad. I felt that the start of each new session should have had Woolie warming up. They really don't need to be recording its just one of them playing and they aren't trying to show something off. I kind of wish they'd warm up more often considering how much we see them start a new session like weeks later and call johns about forgetting how to play a game.

[@dedeedo9355]

For one it's extremely boring, like a silent reaction. Or worse, someone reading a strategy guide to you while you're playing (Pat)

[@4thSurviver]

I don't really agree about it being boring so much as being nothing. It doesn't add or take away anything from my viewing by itself but I hope it at least reminds them how to play. If there needs to be grinding what is your preference on the matter would you like to see it all, have them just not to do it, or have it happen between episodes?

[@dedeedo9355]

" It doesn't add or take away anything from my viewing by itself" Have you played the game before? And by grinding you mean dying over and over until you get it? because this isn't dark souls with leveling and other stuff.

[@Shininanigans]

Woolie to Pat: "Stop trying to make Granny Smacker happen. It's not gonna happen."

[@SionBarzhado]

But those grannies gotta be smacked!

[@gomitax92]

woolie: so i have been punching people off screen... and also played the game

[@4thSurviver]

Punching? Woolie is calming down in his old age and his body count is slowing down.

[@DrunkenCameraBeard]

"Make me feel like the boss." Woolie Madden, on fighting game character select screen.

[@Radoh1017]

Man, Woolie's sense of direction continues to astound at how bad. He checked the same three pillars in the desert like 3 times.

[@Stevetheanimeninja]

Each of the Drunken Fist moves will stun the Great Sensei. You can permanently stun-lock him and make the fight a cakewalk. However, the only hint to this is a single NPC in the casino.

[@SwagbitoUchiha]

If only this LP could go on forever..

[@superapm9620]

If only God Hand2 existed to elicit another LP

[@BeamMonsterZeus]

This seems like one of those TMS spite comments

[@SwagbitoUchiha]

I have nothing against Pat and Woolie Vs. Idol Culture, it's just that Godhand is so much stronger

[@BeamMonsterZeus]

You mean Matt and Woolie?

[@slifer875]

and the TMS lp would be cancel....

[@kingnaga619]

Pat's undying lust for Granny Smacker warms my heart.

[@DevonPalmer98]

I hope the next glass break is woolie playing arkham asylum

[@EbonMaster]

Or Dante's Inferno lol

[@MrJade12]

Witcher 3

[@supersayan1962]

Or DMC marathon before dmc5

[@aivalera]

Hybrid Fucking Heaven. What better way to follow up an action game about punching and kicking demons than an RPG about punching and wrestling aliens?

[@SeruraRenge11]

No, Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. A game Pat wants to do an LP of but says he's too dumb to configure.

[@lowpolybreakfast]

Pat: "...but I'd rather time travel." Time traveling to make all his crazy talks, crazy truths.

[@CaptnMarvelous]

Maybe it's just me but when Gene ends a combo I hear "BUUUUUUUUUURN!" rather than just a generic yell.

[@TheSpartan451]

It's not just you.

[@TheSaderV]

I've been hearing that too.

[@jeanne-emerycoleman214]

I thought thats what he said

[@spinningchurro]

I always it was "BRAY!"

[@gaminggoddess85]

I can't tell if I hear "burn" or "bang".

[@Sprech41]

So with Great Sensei's cloning technique, every level you have adds one clone. So on level DIE, he summons FOUR clones and it is absolute madness

[@KF-hf4nt]

And that's why we keep La Bomba 1 on the roulette wheel to clear out that nonsense

[@TheTsugnawmi2010]

Markus is weeping somewhere for that robot Gene decimated

[@slifer875]

Markus: If only i could touch him.....

[@jakerelind5577]

Looks like we're near the end, but damn do I wish there was a successor to this game that could live up to it's fun.

[@WastedPotential17]

It's called Resonance of Fate. You get God Guns instead of one God Hand

[@maxspecs]

Pat learning how to control Crazy Talk to save the LP. "I don't think you're gonna get health items on this one." *Woolie immediately finds an orange.*

[@ShadowWolfRising]

The goon just lining up for Gene is pure gold.

[@thelaughingrouge]

Just cuz he's a hired goon doesn't mean he can't be polite.

[@DanielAvelan]

"I'm just gonna wait for my hearth rate to go down" Jeez Woolie.

[@boldandbrash9447]

**IMPRESSED WHISTLE**

[@thelaughingrouge]

Perfect!

[@TheMilhouseExperience]

I didn't know about the stomps. That's rad! Good on whoever told Pat that. Another tip is whenever you have a pummel or spank, after initiating, you can mash any or all of the face buttons and the game will register it. That's why the button prompt during is unlabeled.

[@Brandonious15987]

That first cutscene is a winner. Not so bad its good, just proper campy nonsense. I love it.

[@note4note804]

Man, throwing weapons is really underappreciated isn't it Woolie? Yep it's a good thing I learned how strong that is Pat. Now be quiet while I dash through 12 barrels against this enemy that only has melee attacks.

[@jmrboosties0]

the random voice saying "sensei onegaishimasu" before the katana guys come in always makes me laugh

[@malacara1335]

Protip: The real Sensei is the only one with a shadow.

[@jeanne-emerycoleman214]

Ign's godhand score: 3/10 Woolies Granny Smacker Score: 0/10

[@TrickyJebus]

PROTIP: If you wanna test out all the roulettes even the ones you haven't bought yet, do it at the fighting ring. the girl on the left will give you a mokujin looking practice dummy for you to go all out on with your roulettes and god hand meter.

[@Urnstick]

So Genes weaves are probably the best defensive move in the entire game. It's contextual but they work for everything that isn't vertical. Which is a lot of stuff. The fact that they haven't figured out with weapons guy that they have the pattern of hori hori vert with the counter being to weave and sweep is kind of aggravating.

[@bigbrowski410]

If the people behind Gungeon know about God Hand, that means Devolver itself probably know about God Hand and considering what Devolver is doing or has just recently done...

[@PAGESIXVALENTINEFARRIS]

Just knowing about god hand gives them POWER

[@otakon17]

DKing they could do a port!

[@redsohc]

Quick! Someone! Twitter them this LP!

[@nefariouscritter2436]

Gene for FighterZ

[@teiced]

This game is really fun to watch, the combat is so good it's satisfying just to see it in action. I think I'll have to get this game at some point.

[@broceratops1337]

that last few min against the boss, I was in FULL CLENCH

[@NaotaGray]

I really appreciate the fact that Woolie warmed himself up prior to recording. I've noticed it's the kind of thing that shows its payoff when it comes to the audience perspective of LP channels

[@Gojiro7]

Pat forgot to mention that description for the healing Orange in enter the gungeon, says "Your not Alexander! "

[@Raphie009]

One day, Woolie will learn to front and side dodge.....one day.

[@TrickyJebus]

GODDAMMIT WOOLIE! Do a frickin FRONT DODGE FOR GOD HAND SAKE!

[@StriderHoang]

I was rooting for great sensei to blow Woolie up for relying on backflip

[@FunkBastid]

29:57 Shouts out to Pat for abusing Crazy Talk to help Woolie in his time of need.

[@bennymountain1]

oh shit, so much bar. Now Woolie can keep on mashing random buttons and never die.

[@ZahnShiiro]

If there's one thing I've learned from this game, it's that demons love to dance.

[@TheJokerscene]

Woolie needs to learn that the Axe chicks should always be killed last because they have the slowest moveset and can be dodge farmed for meter.

[@ScorpioTheScorpion1503]

Thank god (hand), I was needing my fix.

[@GohanEgret]

Woolie got huge in both this and TMS. DOUBLE HUGE.

[@SinHurr]

35 degrees sounded like absolute heaven right now (Arizona boy here) until I realized he was talking Celsius. Poor boys.

[@blueblazer9991]

Cheesing through the masses with the God Brace off and then doing big combo on the last guy after he is already almost dead Classy

[@VerbalLearning]

Woolie has gotten better but he could still use to up dodge and side-step some more. And i can't believe Pat still thinks that doing a pummel right as a god hand ends is "perfect timing" i guess he doesn't know that pummeling during a god hand does more damage.

[@lpenrike]

after months of painful training and practice, woolie has found out that you can press the triangle button when holding a weapon

[@morbidabyss12]

Man, that slide whistle has been putting in some work. Much like the firestorms that plague Montreal today

[@jcace13]

Woolie gets huge and then still keeps getting killed. These are the dangers of the God Hand.

[@MattManDX1]

Huge health grants him huge overconfidence

[@ccproductions5262]

29:59 was this a rare beneficial use of crazy talk?

[@4thSurviver]

Luckily for us Pat didn't even recognize that it was. We are still safe as long as he can't learn to harness it.

[@iller3]

He might have done it before one time unboxing HOTS boxes... ?

[@BeamMonsterZeus]

Looks like Woolie ate prior to this session. Look at those guard breaks land!

[@JackMetJill]

B O I, I can't wait to get back to my favorite Godhand LP where Woolie doesn't lose his way by becoming huge :^)

[@proslackernurpleckl3545]

Ok KZbin, please show on the doll where the bad LP touched you.

[@Personified134]

welcome back to HUGE HAND, everyone

[@jackofalltrade378]

Wow, Crazy Talk saves the day in the end.

[@JPGameStuffs]

The orange is even called "You're Not Alexander"

[@TrueUnderDawgGaming]

If you love big health-bars, the Blood Omen 2 is right up your allley! It starts off small, but eventually it grows all the way to the bottom of the screen!! It's a vertical health-bar...should have mentioned that first.

[@exploitativity]

Some great fuckin fighting in this episode. Great job Woolie.

[@SunGawdRa]

Pat's seen The Wire? Awesome.

[@willg8035]

Woolie has finally done it. He got HEUG.

[@basegoku]

i'm so scared of Godhand killing someone via a heart attack

[@weir-t7y]

Woolie died like 5 times running for items, jesus

[@matosz23]

This game is great. This game truly is great. Now where is that mandatory IGN review comparison...?

[@Oddly-Offensive]

I LUV IT!

[@alexanderespen6634]

That Dr Ion intro is great

[@davidpadgett4013]

Arkham asylum please. Shit is soooooo goooood.

[@MrUnimportant]

Great Sensei is a monster to fight. Kudos for beating him in two tries, even after getting huge.

[@Version2LP]

Woolie's first HUGE! I'm so proud!

[@josephmahar8809]

30:48 You COULD low-profile, but better back away from everything and make the game harder on yourself. I know that Woolie said he's not playing to show off and to talk, but I'm willing to bet he plays this game the same way at home; LIKE GARBAGE.

[@ilovehertodeath]

I really want a Sanji challenge run of this where you are only allowed to use kicks.

[@kinovsthewrld]

absolver tried to do combat like this and failed

[@Sprech41]

Besides Anarchy Reigns, the only other game I know of to reference God Hand is... Enter the Gungeon! The item description of "Orange" contains two very blatant references to this game. The Orange itself resembles the oranges in this game.

[@BootlegSkeleton]

Yeah, Pat actually mentions that in the video.

[@DrTrag]

Yeah, they talk about it in the video...

[@TheMilhouseExperience]

Sprech41 There is a loose reference in DeS with the "Hand of God."

[@Maioly]

DeS?

[@Timestrider539]

Maioly Demon's Souls. I think its more of a goofy reference to Miyazaki, the creator of Souls, since the description references someone called 'Big M.'

[@willford55543]

HOLY SHIT THE ALEXANDER THING IS A MIKE TYSON REFERENCE!

[@CeZ128]

WHEN'S RUSTLEMANIA 3?

[@Knishook]

The entire fight with pai mei... Daaaaaaaruuuuuumaaaaaaa... HAS COME!

[@kdash3760]

21:38 There goes that forced hate

[@Raphie009]

Woolie is gonna' struggle harder against Angra than Pat did against Orphan of Kos. I'm callin' it now.

[@TheMilhouseExperience]

Trilmonté I don't know. Angra is pretty much a victory lap after Azel. Start with double shaolin, full health, full meter, and full roulette. Even on higher difficulties he is pretty much the same but slightly faster.

[@Raphie009]

Agreed...and, for anybody else, it would be.... ...but act like Woolie won't fuck it up. Dude used Shockwave against Demon Form Shannon....he still can't side dodge or front dodge. He'll keep gettin' plucked by Angra until he dies.

[@grapesoftime]

These stages, Shadow of the Colossus remaster looks great

[@Luthius]

I fucking die every time Pat does his Leon death noise xD

[@MagickGOATee]

I swear to Akuma if Woolie whistles one more time because of not reading moves better

[@CodenameMEGAN]

Yes! I feel the same about health upgrade. One of my favorite ever is Mega Man Zero when the size of your health bar can grow twice the length AND THEN layer on itself four times XD now THAT is what I call Boss health.

[@shinichizio]

24:55 "Wise as the wind, fast as the mountain - AH SHIT"

[@thugX52]

So Metal Wolf Chaos XD got announced and will be released in 2018 after Devolver Digital watched their video from 2016 or the Machinima one from 2012. With enough push, hopefully we can get another miracle with a God Hand HD in 2024. I hope it doesn't cost a lot to buy the God Hand license and properties from Capcom since they considered it a financial failure.

[@disflipmat]

So did all that grinding make Woolie forgot how to forward dodge?

[@SuperJv77]

30:53 that dude was nicely done, i would have chocked to get a health item.

[@crossyveltross1603]

CRAZY TALK activates at 29:59

[@Sprech41]

Woolie: "So I grinded off camera a bit..."

[@kaisercaesar5007]

29:58 Pat is starting to learn how to use Crazy Talk properly

[@lucasabrahao8482]

Now we know the reason of why he also grind in TMS. The power of broken air conditioner is strong

[@MrConshunce]

woolie clutching out that old man boss...nice

[@TobiasWhisperwind]

Full drunken fist is super good looking Wools, if you chain those sweeps and half moon kicks OOOOOOOOH BABY finesse all day

[@Tenchigumi]

A little bit of trivia: during the battle with Great Sensei, he spouts off seemingly random comments about being "swift as the wind" and "strong as a mountain." Those comments are possibly a reference to Ryu in Street Fighter, as his taunts actually compose the phrase _Furinkazan_ (風林火山), which Ryu famously wears on his his gloves and belt. The phrase means "as swift as wind (fu), as gentle as the forest (rin), as fierce as fire (ka), and as unshakable as a mountain (zan)." _Furinkazan_ is based on the battle standard used by the feudal daimyo Takeda Shingen during the Sengoku era, and is basically a series of quotes taken from Sun Tzu's Art of War. As you'd imagine, it's the perfect phrase for warrior bros looking to warrior all day.

[@SolidSDA]

I finished watching The Wire literally this morning.

[@massconnect9329]

Good job Pat. You made me laugh.

[@najibothman2607]

11:15 did the Zaibatsu actually saw my comment?! that's a big honor doods!

[@najibothman2607]

Gonna leave this here for my future self when i want to see it happen as i remembered 23:19

[@blueblazer9991]

Holy That level design could not look more counter intuitiv to that camera
