Tons of deckbuilding games exist where your attacks are basically consumables and once they're used in a single battle they're gone until that battle is over...

@@CassiusStelar Honestly that's the key difference. Most games with consumable attacks in combat are refunded at the end of a battle. Modern Paper Mario doesn't do that and that's why its battle system is terrible.

6:20 When he says he was folded 256 times, it probably means folded 2^8 times, or 256 times thicker than usual. Still is improbable due to the “unable to fold a piece of paper 8 times in on itself” rule (nobody else said this so thought I would)

You can fold paper more than 7 times, but the paper has to have a smaller thickness:surface area ratio than your standard printer paper.

​@@jasonkeith2832i thought u could fold paper as many times so long as you had a big enough piece and power to fold it. For example, mythbuster had a massive warehouse filled with a massive roll of paper that I think they used human and machine power to fold 10 times or so
