Best Friends Play Metal Slug X

[@N00BSYBORG]

Really sad to hear that people don't appreciate this spritework. Between this and all the KoF games, SNK had some of the best sprites ever.

[@idon896]

+N00BSYBORG B-but muh 3d

[@jugemujugemu4690]

Did you ever see the Imgur of fighting game stages? Makes me wanna die...

[@jugemujugemu4690]

+Angel almanza why are you like this?

[@N00BSYBORG]

Your Next Line is It's nice to know someone is still making Dreamcast games I guess.

[@N00BSYBORG]

Nagato Uzumaki Arc System Works still has some amazing looking stages.

[@akathesk]

For those who don't know, metal slug 3 is when the REAL hype will start

[@edgardossss]

They are totally right about Mexico being SNK land, imagine being a kid in ar third world country and the only fun you can have is a trompo and the arcades en la tiendita de la esquina, thank you guys for remembering my childhood. btw the name of the guy in the last mission is Allen O'Neil

[@electthelambda]

There's some XCOM happening in the background, believe it.

[@10120003]

Woolie - $4.75 Liam - $4.58 Together it was $9.25 They did little better.

[@SympleSymon]

What's this...?

[@adcon00]

the amount in USD quarters they spent on the game, if 1 continue = 1 quarter

[@SiegmundCG]

+David B Andrews How much they would've spent on extra lives if this was an arcade machine.

[@SympleSymon]

Ah... Wow, that's cheap compared to the 50p/£1 credits over here.

[@SiegmundCG]

David B Andrews Yeah, those prices seem unfairly fair to other parts of the world.

[@direweeb]

"Everyone just gave up" That describes the gaming industry really well. Everyone just gave up. Everyone just gives up.

[@Goraka91]

+Ryan Silva ...Truth.

[@Nano4211]

They're totally right about SNK in Mexico. That was all I played when I visited there.

[@love_otter]

"THIS IS SPARTA!" is a recent movie line that really hit the zeitgeist.

[@ShadowWolfRising]

+love_otter also "TRAITOR!"

[@SympleSymon]

That's recent to you? Gee, you must still be reeling from "You talkin' to me?!"

[@love_otter]

David B Andrews Recent when compared to "I am your father" and shit. Only 10 years ago.

[@Orb_Weaver]

+Master Ofu Hail Hydra

[@RohanSpartin]

+Master Ofu Liam hates Broforce AND Mercenary Kings. He's a fucking Commie.

[@everettvonscott]

+Master Ofu I don't know if he was joking, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was meh on Broforce because there wasn't animu.

[@HSnake5]

"Here comes the train! Quick, run as far back as you can!" Dohohohoho

[@MagoDSnowman]

Mexican here. Can confirm that SNK and Metal Slug were the fucking shit here

[@gregoriolupercio5535]

+Mago The Snowman First time I played metal slug was in Mexico there were SNK machines everywhere.

[@whenneeded551]

I swear KoF and Metal Slug was all that mattered. If SNK wasn't around there was something wrong.

[@black0193]

Man, when I would travel around Mexico via buses I always checked around in the stations to see if they had any Metal Slug arcades. Shit was the best.

[@bazzjedimaster]

+Mago The Snowman Chilean here, we used to have a lot of snk cabinets everywhere too but sadly they are disappearing nowadays.

[@Nyarlathothep1994]

+Mago The Snowman Fuck yeah Jack Frost

[@ZeroSSOX]

well, I hope you HAVENT recorded the rest of the series but shoot button + jump button equals the suicide slug attack. you were more aware of the fact in MS2, but seems like you guys are starting on a clean slate again.

[@DragonZeara]

Can't wait for MS3! That game gets so hype at the end!

[@Hillthugsta]

+DragonZeara The Music is INSANE as well.

[@FullmetalSonic260]

That ending makes MS3 for me.

[@CRAZEH247]

Every time Woolie says Eye-carry Warriors... My blood boils.

+Zane Seibert She's ready for this kind of party.

[@vincenzopaollogrieco9385]

Liam said something bad about Broforce? hope Matt don´t see this video or Liam salary will be cut for sure

[@endlessmisery15]

+Vincenzo Paollo Grieco When he eventually gets paid, of course.

[@cd2220]

+Vincenzo Paollo Grieco But Broforce is an excellent game I've played through it many times. It's not a perfect game of course. But the characters all feel different and have a learning curve. The levels allow for many different strategies and routes and are fully destructible. I enjoy it very much. I think it's a very good game. I had a lot of fun with it.

[@vincenzopaollogrieco9385]

cd2220 i did not say it was bad, just made a joke about Liam saying how the theme or the "joke" of the game was old to him and since Matt really like the game and have a abusive boss/coworker realationship(joke also) with him i though that Matt was going to punish him for saying it (joke also)

[@cd2220]

Vincenzo Paollo Grieco Ohhhh I see, my mistake then o

[@NaderinZim]

+Vincenzo Paollo Grieco Yeah,all those exposure bucks.

[@TobiTheHedgehog]

Yes, Liam, Mexico is hispanic. Not Latino, just Hispanic. ¡Ole!

[@Oujouj426]

+Rochasaurus Rex I mean, one of their ministers *is* a turban wearing Indian immigrant, but the more northern people probably emphasise the "white" in Great White North.

For anyone wondering, the two "Item Girls" are named Rumi and Madoka Aikawa, the P.O.W. who can pull off Hadoukens is named Hyakutaro Ichimonji, and the huge, muscle-bound boss with the machine gun is Allen O'Neil.

Man i remember bringing Blazblue over to my friends place and his dad asked why the graphics were old/bad.

[@Rockymann27]

+Wartooth91 Why were they though?

[@Chadius]

+Wartooth91 Guilty Gear and SF3 got a lot of shit for not being 3D. Usually people just say "It's not 3D, so it's bad"

[@Wartooth91]

***** yeah that was basically his attitude about it.

[@DarthEnderX]

There's too much time in between episodes of this!

[@supergoron1]

Ya, hopefully we won't have to wait another month for the Metal Slug 3 video.

[@AnotherSyouz]

remember one of your old videos of friday night fisticuffs??? CVS2 was the game... you guys said that when rugal and guile fight the intro was inspired on the guile handcuffs or something like that... play kof 94 reach rugal and see his statues.... If you dont he has a statue of guile, fei long and akuma in the back that's why he does that intro with guile i hope you guys see this comment... Greeting From Mexico!

[@benjaminlewis4900]

Holy crap Mexico way to be on fucking point. Our worlds collide in Baja. I am proud of this.

[@AnotherSyouz]

Benjamin Lewis i live way south from baja, Veracruz my town is call :v

[@KMS2K]

+Another Syouz I pointed that out too. In that same vid, Woolie refers to Karman Cole as the boss from Art of Fighting 3 >_

[@tank7013]

If you look, the logo is on the larger ship as well on a little panel

[@TheProphessionalGeek]

Bro force is good because memes?....I don't think action movie characters from decades ago qualifies as memes.

[@Tarkenfire]

As much as I like LPs from the super salt bros, the best zaibatsu working pair, I almost sexually need that minecrat video.

[@behemothbear]

+Michael “Tarkenfire” Mancuso I dunno, Matt/Woolie have lots of gold, especially anything Cryme Tyme.

[@tank7013]

+Michael “Tarkenfire” Mancuso If you ask me that lp IS going to be the super salt bros.

[@carnificus]

+Michael “Tarkenfire” Mancuso Matt and Liam are also great together, not having two people take the piss out of each other at every turn is pretty refreshing sometimes.

[@nocturnPhoenix]

"We don't get paid to play Metal Slug." ... b-but... this video exists. You got paid for it. You are LITERALLY getting paid to play Metal Slug.

[@bravelordspeedo4836]

"It's fine."

+nocturnPhoenix pseudo Disclaimer is pseudo

[@SuperSymn]

Matt is paying Woolie but not Liam but shh don't tell him.

[@plaga378]

Damn, I forgot myself I kept thinking it was Alex.

[@xenodile]

Whatchu talkin' about Lima Bean? Mercenary Kings was great. It had some rough spots, but it was still a good game.

[@DTKloves8]

Holy shit I used to play this game a bunch when I was a kid and didn't even realize what it was until now. It was in one of those weird unmarked/gutted and refitted cabinets that had had like, 4 different games in it before this one.

[@snusnu4]

Been waiting forever for this. Thank guys!

[@lloyd011721]

wait was that a giant shoe under that guys knee in the bottom right corner?

[@maxberry158]

+david w I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT. WHAT THE FUCK.

[@BadInfluenceMan]

You guys should do a "Mission all Over" tally at the end of the Metal Slug series where you list how many quarters you guys burned on each game and see who did the best Love the series BTW

[@jeanmiranda6613]

the guy with the big gun is called Allen O'Neal I think

[@Zerotrance11]

I've never gotten very deep into the Metal Slug series at all, but I must say, I really do like the little nuances in the animations for even some of the most insignificant characters. It gives them a lot of personality.

[@DrakeVagabond]

I was going to say they should have made a Saturday morning cartoon for Metal Slug. But, It already exists. Its called Street Fighter

[@Chadius]

+DrakeVagabond JUSTICE. HONOR. COMMITTMENT.

[@Lurdiak]

These guys go on and on and on and on about how their busy scheduling interferes with things, but I still find it really hard to believe they couldn't figure out a way to play these 45-minute games closer to each other so they don't get rusty in between each.

[@MaxCaufieldsHellaCopter]

knowing the Best Friends will soon continue XCOM fills you with DETERMINATION

[@Fedakeen]

Metal Slug with friendly fire would progress as fast as an actual slug.

[@bravelordspeedo4836]

An actual slug coated in actual metal

[@Xunkun]

5:17 - "We're getting better at this game!" Meanwhile, at 2:38 - God damnit, Liam.

[@C24U_]

Wait, didnt this video already go up?

[@SuperZergMan]

+Christopher Christ Metal Slug X is more or less the same game as Metal Slug 2, which they already did.

[@helicopteroctopus6543]

+Christopher Christ It's a remake with just some minor changes here and there.

[@623RIOT]

Finally another Metal Slug episode. Just 14 more months until the next one! Woo!

[@Thorrison]

The day the Super Best Friends properly sync their audio is the day the Super Best Friends cease to exist.

[@FredCracklin]

How dare Liam dismiss Broforce, that game is amazing and it's not because of memes but the actual gameplay. 4 player Broforce with the current retail build would be great for this channel.

[@ThisAlbino]

The only series on the channel that I look forward to, same as the Castlevania series that Liam and Matt did. Great work again.

[@ReshiramOfFlame]

i didn't notice at first, but at least, later on there... seems to be a good half-second to a second of audio delay.

[@Agent00555]

Those trains still come in for single player ... they're brutal! Gotta button mash like a madman

[@raveguy821]

Mexico does love its SNK games. I remember running down to a mom and pop shop where they either always had KoF or Metal Slug. Very few people there could beat the games on a single coin. It was amazing to watch

[@JonThePrettyOKGuy]

As much as we all want to, Let it Go hit the zeitgeist SUPER hard

[@globox123456789]

+Jon The Pretty OK Guy Fuck the Zeitgeist.

[@TheSnapshotKing]

The "dog dying" sound effect at 8:32 is the same as the "pointing a camera at a magnemite" sound effect in pokemon snap.

[@nexusgiga]

i actually marathoned these games last week, there so amazingly goofy, but beautiful

[@FullmetalSonic260]

They're fantastic games! :)

[@jaderabbit898]

Now I'm just waiting for them to play Metal Slug 3

[@crunchbite0108]

So, getting info from Metal Slug Defense. the hadoken POW is named "Hyakutaro". That guy that got eaten by the whale is "Allen O'Neil". I also got the name of the bosses, the tank with the flamer is "Iron Nokana", the land battleship is "Big Shiee" ,the plane is called "The Keesi II", The walker on the train is called "Dragon Nosuke" and that big tank you guys fought in the subway is "Shoe". Don't have the names of the mission 2 and final names though

[@bravelordspeedo4836]

i'd love to name a tank fucking shoe

[@crunchbite0108]

+Bravelord Speedo They actually fought the exact same one on mission 4 of Metal Slug 1. It was paired up with a similar tank by the name of "Karn"... which sounds cooler, in my opinion.

[@TheOtogi]

Question to Mexican and Central American SNK fans: What do you think of that Fatal Fury Embers trailer?

[@sofija1996]

+TheOtogi (I'm just leaving this comment here to track the comment chain...)

[@ryukenxx2]

About time for more of these.

[@2sappy]

Man, I loved Warhawk. My favorite thing to do in it was to get a dropship and hook a tank onto it. Then get someone into the tank as well as six other people into the dropship, go where all the enemies were, and drop off the tank while activating siege mode where the giant guns pop out from the sides and the missile pods pop out from the top of the dropship, and have everyone in the ship go nuts. That was one of the most satisfying things to do in that game.

[@StonnedFoxx]

If you do not want to hear Woolie and Liam complain about issues and bugs with their game, skip to about 2:00. Two minutes in is when the video really starts.

[@darkenwarrior]

Woolie burning all the bridges in this, the hypest gameplay on youtube

[@Arrowdodger]

Bill Pullman, Woolie. You said Bill Paxton again. And even then, you're thinking of what Randy Quaid did.

[@Kurgash1]

I can't wait for when they figure out the invincibility frames getting in and out of the slug. Hopefully.

[@Weareonenation303]

X is pretty much an enhanced, harder MS2. The biggest difference level wise is the final boss in mission 1. In MS2 you fight the same Aircraft you encounter as a mid boss during mission 3, except it doesn't drop tanks at you due to difficulty differences between both versions. Other minor differences include enemy placement, additional boss attacks (IE: the mission 2 boss never launches electric balls at you in MS2) and super weapons not obtainable in the original game.

[@gieron666]

Gungeon - also a very good looking "shooter" kinda by Devolver that comes out 5th of April. You guys should try that one out.

[@Blackjackel1138]

I actually don't think there are any branched paths in MS2 or MSX, that doesn't start until 3.

[@JoaoLucasK]

The name of the hadouken guy is Hyakutaro, and the gatling gun guy's name is Allen O'Neil

[@blitzkriegdragon013]

Whenever I hear these guys talk about pixel art, it makes me think: "why are there no silent films anymore?"

[@Kerfuffelable]

If I'm not mistaken I think the bridge you mentioned was actually the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington state

[@MattManDX1]

The gatling gun boss's name is Allen by the way

[@DonUmbra2346]

Dude, that tank plane combo form. Beautiful

[@daOriGinooGrapeBeer]

FACT: In Montreal it's actually illegal to use bombs in Metal Slug game.

[@jaderabbit898]

Wait why?

[@PatchtheReaper99]

I see they did the Capcom update method of recoloring the backgrounds.

[@paco_da_taco]

The Devil Sergeant that dies every game, but comes back? Allen O'Neil

[@DLAlucard]

Hey guys, will you play Mercenary Kings at some point to show what you like and dislike about it? I ask because you glossed over it a little in this episode.

[@guardiansunite5013]

The first time i played a Metal Slug game was on my lcd fliptop phone in 2007, and i still think the sprite art(?) is beautiful. I don't think you have to have played this in the arcades as a kid to appreciate the beauty in it.

[@MrMoondown]

Here in Brazil people were mostly SNK fans in the arcades, KOF crushed Street Fighter around here, and everyone loved Metal Slug.

[@JasynSuin]

The return of Wilhelm!

[@Chadius]

+Zanna AUGH

[@JasynSuin]

Soliduz Znake Wilhelm 3: The Wilhelmening.

[@paxvesania2008]

Any chance for all four of them to play Helldivers? That would be awesome

[@theboihilbirt1277]

I noticed only notice Fio this version and future all versions. Change her voice of scream, of course Eri stay with same scream

[@TheMythbuster13]

When's the next one!!! I can't wait!!!

[@xdelta92]

I want the swerve of Metal Slug 3D as the next game since it has a 3 in it.

[@Chadius]

+xdelta92 It's METAL SLUG 3! ...d ...BIG

[@Artista_Frustrado]

wait a minute!! Woolie is not rooting for the aliens?! this must be the work of an enemy stand working for the Ustabiaz!

[@Horatio787]

So I have to ask, is there a reason to play X over 2? 2 seems subtler with the alien reveal and other than that they're pretty close.

[@betelgeusianmeo3086]

Metal Slug has always been on of the most amazing games ever... it's a timeless treasure.

[@mocca3633]

best game of the centurty. lol

[@DanQew]

yep, those are concept art present on metal slug 1 on ps1 i recog them

[@thethrashyone]

Anyone know where that stock "AUGH" scream the soldiers make originally came from? I feel like I've heard that almost as often as the Wilhelm scream.

[@bravelordspeedo4836]

That shit came out of fucking Bop-Its, didn't it?

[@chuckledarkly]

these games are so beautiful.

[@DH2007able]

I loved the twist at the end of Cabin in the Woods, although it would be pretty tough to homage that.

[@6027]

I didn't know how many times I played this game, really enjoyed this version better than number 2 :)

[@Nachotronix]

i was already making a list of all the things you were missing and then you mentioned mexico as snk land and i just lolled, so i'll just respond that question in particular, hadouken guy is named hyakutaro, and he appears since 2 (if you survive until the end of the level his name will appear between the names of the guys you rescued,) he's hidden in the first level there iirc, also, arcade used to cost me 1 peso per credit, so it was much cheaper than a quarter, but considering how much i spent playing metal slug, i'd probably be able to buy an original cabinet with the game in it...

[@striderzer0]

Metal Slug War Effort Cost Running Totals LT Woolie MS1:$4 MS2:$5 MSX:$4.75 CO Liam MS1:$4 MS2:$5.25 MSX:$4.50 Total:$27.50 aka 1100 bombs

[@TheMythbuster13]

Oh and the name of the mini boss that dies every game is Allen o'neill

[@TheMythbuster13]

And the hadouken prisoner is hyakutaro ichimonji

[@superrobot3187]

You guys should try to do some co-op arcade shmups as well. And not the anime ones, I mean the cool aircraft/spacecraft ones
