[@RolyatSille]

Veil’s really cool. You can use it out of battle to listen to the funny birds and I wish they put in more of those eavesdropping interactions.

[@bestaround3323]

I think the issue is he just isn't skilled enough for it

[@ThePondermatic]

@@bestaround3323 He said outright at the beginning of the video that he wasn't allowing super guards because they would have made the video uninteresting. 1:33

[@bestaround3323]

@@ThePondermatic ...that's the joke

[@AidanWR]

While it wasn't directly stated, it was indirectly stated why Damage Dodge is worse. The interaction with Last Stand is why. In 64, Damage Dodge triggers after Last Stand, so if it reduces the damage to 1, Damage Dodge makes it 0. In TTYD, that's not the case

[@DannyCheezits]

Damage Dodge is outclassed by locating the B button on your controller and pressing that instead

[@zsasha2004]

It was directly stated tho

[@MarioMastar]

Actually the real reason he calls out Damage dodge in particular is because of the piercing damage moves. If you can't defend you can't get the benefit of damage dodge. Though he didn't mention it, he kind of made the point clear when he mentioned "In PM 64, Bowser couldn't pierce and defense was a straight reduction, now almost all the end game bosses pierce defense..." Just have to remember what he said about Damage dodge. Also Magnus Von Grapple 2.0 is similar, he explicitly says "But he has no defense piercing moves, meaning we get +6 defense out the gate" as the first battle has that quake move which can't be guarded.

[@GreatAngryPotato]

I didn't think you'd be able to do the pit or the shadow queen. Shouldn't have doubted you, holy crap. Those strategies you used were wild. You should do more videos like these, the way you make and edit them is very entertaining

[@The-Omega-Blade]

TTYD is a very unhinged game in terms of crazy strats, you can 1 round almost everything in the game if you spend enough time doing setups/ glitches/ farming...

[@Sykar24]

Kappy’s “unsuperguardable attacks” short coming in handy for a prediction here. We can’t superguard Hooktail’s or Gloomtail’s bite, as well as 2/3 Shadow Siren attacks, and Shadow Queen’s attack with the hands that pull you under the stage. So I expect it’s only possible if there’s a consistent way to kill those enemies before these types of attacks go off.

[@WhirlyBeepBoops]

And then the mad lad just goes "we're banning superguard" That takes guts.

[@The-Omega-Blade]

Hooktail, Gloomtail can both be 2/3 rounded with perfect setups and Shadow Queen... you can cheese very easily with a giga glass cannon set up and/or perma farm power badges...

[@anaceattorneyfangreatgame9770]

you were right for one of them

[@kingbeerz7978]

I will now defend Veil. She's actually one of the best characters in Fire Emblem Engage, her unique class serves as a dragon unit, meaning that she can get maximum benefit out of many engage rings, especially Soren if you've got him. She also has quite respectable stats and is useable from the getgo, and has a signature weapon that's actually really good. In addition, she has a useful passive ability, which whilst not as good as Alear's can still make a difference and save your units at times. Not even counting gameplay, she is also one of the few characters who is actually relevant to the story, along with Alear, Mauvier and Hortensia. Most of the rest of your units don't really have much importance sadly. She gets some really nice critical hit lines and some genuinely great moments, even if they are a bit silly and- Wait. That's Veyle, not Veil. Yeah, that move sucks..... Sorry for wasting your time.

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

Chapter 10:

[@Alexs23743]

Shut up and take my thumbs-ups! D:

[@ndimensional15]

I had this same thought in this video, and yes the Veyle/Soren crit build is really funny to pull off. I really hope Intelligent Systems updates their little Petalburg gamer Toad to play Fire Emblem Engage.

[@ShyGuyXXL]

Wait what? I've known this game since I was a little kid but I've never known you could attack Grodus' wand! That's crazy!

[@marcopereira1735]

Same. I was today years old when I learned.

[@griffinbaker-royo1209]

I've done six playthroughs of ttyd including as an adult and even did an itemless challenge run, but I never knew that either

[@MarioMastar]

There are ton of little secrets like that, most people didn't even know about badge farming when it first came out and even then not every badge effect stacks like you'd expect (or they don't stack in ways you'd expect, stacking item hog, heart finder, flower finder and money money all cancel each other out, it just manpiulates the odds of getting one of the four drops relative to each other and while 32 is the max number of units that can drop, item hog is more the chance an item drops period and is based on the type and number of enemies you defeated, but item hog only affects the odds an item WILL drop period, not the odds you get an item from the enemies.) Same for how much the dodge badges stack their bonuses to make Mario nearly unhittable. It's pretty cool how indepth things are. Just a shame it's all overkill even to casual players. Hope the remake makes a challenge mode.

[@supergamingwarriorgamerult4705]

"If u kill Beldam first, then she can never complain", ain't that a dream for Vivian?

[@OmegaVideoGameGod]

🤣

[@Polarthief]

Both damageless videos were great. Can't wait to see a damageless video for the third Paper Mario RPG we get in the future.

[@MarioMastar]

I genuinely don't know if it's possible to beat Sticker Star, or Origami king damageless, but I know Color Splash is impossible due to the nature of the final battle. The only "Thing card" that can one shot bowser is the card that you get after beating him, his own castle, and defense cards will prevent Huey from absorbing the black paint so he'll just heal himself like he does when he hits you normally. I think Mizztar Blizzard in Sticker Star being the only boss who's immune to being crumpled was proven possible to beat damageless, but I think you need a damage sponge for one turn cause of his multi phase battle structure. and Origami King.... that's impossible. I just remembered the bosses will hit you guaranteed as they're more puzzle based and thus no strategy can beat them damageless. Just leaves Super paper mario which should be relatively easy damageless, just "don't get hit" (and spam blocky blocks). Though a minimum damage run would still be interesting for the second set of PM games. Namely Color Splash.

[@LunaHowBoutPoona]

@@MarioMastarSticker Star is actually impossible due to Snifit or Whifit. Color Splash meanwhile is impossible because of the literal first battle.

[@CR1MSONACE]

BUg fables

[@qwantom1]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@MarioMastari would imagine the bigger problem for a super paper Mario run would be how grindy it would be since block blocks can only be purchased once flopside is unlocked and save points can be tedious to go back to repeatedly for some levels

[@rorbee]

I am so glad you showed off a lot of creativity in this run, many challenge runs tend to take the easiest way out, which doesn't always pan out great for the viewer experience. Loved the gags, went back to replay that spicy pasta ending lmao

[@MarioMastar]

I'll admit when he did the danger mario segment I was like "Hold on.... you're not going to..." but he stood by his pride and didn't. I recall he also didn't in PM64 despite mentioning it as he wanted to show every fight (including Master 3) is possible without it and he stated that "If I lower my health to 5 that technically isn't "taking damage", but it IS reducing my health so therefore...it's taking damage) and thus banned it. I really love the integrity of his run. That's what top tier paper mario gameplay looks like. Strategizing, not watching a video or hearing about a strat and suddenly becoming an expert. XD (Gosh can't wait for the remake to come out.....)

[@themightiestofbooshes9443]

14:34 "Since this is an unofficial match, you can just turn the- ITEM." Guys, I think this run is spliced.

[@jordaniuus474]

Literally, my gf wanted us to watch this video, neither of us have ever seen it and then he just straight up says my name in the intro-

[@aurastrike]

Pros for using Super Macho Man's voicelines and music during Macho Grubba's fight. Fits right in,

The "You can't AFFORD these sunglasses" earned the like on it's own. XD That was absolute ace!

[@jamawama297]

13:51 haha Grubbas dialogue

[@avmarev4230]

I love the fact you never took the easy mode and chose to do this the hard way in alignment with the challenge serious props.

[@MarioMastar]

On top of that he also explained every avenue of the "easy mode" and included why it isn't as optimal while showing a variety of different possible strats. Him MAKING Veil work on one of the hardest bosses casually was peak. and Kudos to him using defensive strats in TTYD, while it's more common in 64, I almost never see people use defense in TTYD as it's usually about Mega Rush strats.

[@Ihazkirbro]

When Grubba said "eat sh*t" I felt that.

[@HappySmilesInc]

Did Fatguy photoshop multiple frames to get that in there? Or did he import a single line from TTYD Repainted without importing all the insane textures at the same time, just so he could record that clip? I’d honestly give him insane props if it was the latter.

[@m4yr4i]

The strats and knowledge applied in this video were impressive, man. I really enjoy these kinds of videos you put out, so thanks, and hope you have a nice year.

[@umbreonespeon0902]

the studiopolis "lights camera action" is fucking perfect for the glitz pit love it

[@MarioMastar]

The music choices through the whole video (including Sticker Star and Origami King music) was absolute respect! Made me genuinely wonder how the music is going to upgrade when the remake comes out cause with new instruments and quality I'm sure they can push out some mad bangers.

[@umbreonespeon0902]

Your editing is hilarious and your strategies are genius lol. Embarrassingly I've never played a paper Mario game, but i got into Strider7x's series a number of years ago when I had a roommate who casually speedran paper Mario 😊 I've been a fan of this type of content like challenge runs for years as well, so this plus your trivia about the game are wonderful, please keep it up!

[@Tesssssaaaaa]

What is stopping you from playing a Paper Mario game then?

[@kingdyste5289]

I think more than anything I appreciate seeing a lot of weird interactions within the game and how certain bosses act. It's far more interesting tackling these challenges in this way instead of just Superguarding everything.

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

Dude, the music choices in this video are SO GOOD (And you're awesome for putting them all in a pinned comment) This video must've taken ages to edit, but it was so worth it, this was such an entertaining watch from start to finish. I could completely see myself coming back to it when I'm bored and just want a good video to watch

[@nt45dev]

I don't have to defend veil, I can just use veil and completely avoid all attacks (veil slander) for a turn. I used veil a lot when I was a kid and I still don't know why. It ended up getting me more game overs than simply trying to guard a weak attack. I guess it was cheap and it sounded cool?

[@maxspecs]

Veil only works for a turn and then what? Just double post the slander and it’ll catch you when you come back up.

[@larhyperhair]

i really love this video, usually you just sweep through bosses in your challenge runs, and i often also just kinda cruise through everyone except the shadow queen and Smorg, so i really dig how this video effectively deep dives the aspects of bosses most people wouldn't know about, for instance i had no idea krump could act through status in the three-match? thats wild

[@MarioMastar]

Syncing those animations to the music, show casing what the failures look like, and showcasing alternate strategies with a footnote of why he didn't do it really shows he went above and beyond. Definitely earned a like.
