Invaders Must Chai - Best Level in Video game History

[@Thagyr]

The fact they made a literal cook variation of the Samurai bot just for a brief encounter entirely for humour purposes shows how much passion went into this.

[@Onaterdem]

With his completely unique sound effects too, nonetheless.

[@plastered_crab]

I laughed so hard when that Cook Samurai came out from behind the kitchen haha

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

Nigh-The Wonderful 101 levels of passion, true.

[@liviekumori]

It's From software's level of care

[@eltrashooter2578]

Fun fact: in the files, its a completely different model.

[@ViridianGames]

And of course the reason Chai had such a hard fight here is because Kale ordered the cafe to be re-opened because he wanted a coffee.

[@robeseller6530]

Your'e right! Nice detail, completely missed it

[@windknightavenger996]

Gets even better when one of the robot NPCs said as payback for all the stressful work he would make the coffee machine only dispense Decaf which Kale doesn't like.

[@ΣάββαςΛεμονάκης-ω5φ]

​@@windknightavenger996 I read the same log too, having read that makes all the coffee scenes that much funier

[@alexanderroy7224]

You'd think a cafe would look more like a cafe, not a cafeteria. they seem to be consuming everything BUT coffee.

[@Merc1987]

Oh my god I literally never realised that until you said it! Of course that's why they're all there!

[@thefez-cat]

I love how there is literally no explanation for Chai's durability. He has a robot arm and an iPod in his chest, but the rest of his body is apparently made out of solid steel. Shoot him out of a cannon? He's fine. Face-first through glass? Not a scratch. Slammed through walls by a mecha-werewolf? Barely winded.

[@ReiseLukas]

Comic book looking world, no need to dwell too hard on it

[@freshjoonyuh]

Lmao its a cartoon/anime style ofc nobody gets hurt from falling 500 feet or getting their face pummeled in a few times, its always gonna take more than that lol but i get ur point

[@Ghostel3591]

To be fair every time Chai gets hit there is a flash of Blue field. And he breaks Harmonic Red Force Field by projecting Blue one into it. The point is - I feel like Chai without understanding it also constantly projected his own blue flavor of Harmonic Force Field hence his crazy durability to fullbody damage and not only his prostetic arm.

[@panuru9175]

@@SonnyFRST ok but, i want to say that i love so much the comic, but the movie isn't that bad, scott personality is nerfed in a way that only the supperficial side of him remains while the other (that is the good stuff) part go fuck off in the rest of the movie Ramona Arc is way too nutshell Kim pines is a good character, but in the movie i feel like a side cool character instead of something i can relate too The Slice of life parts are cut off for the sake of the lenght Knieves is way more Superficial, in the comic she knows that scott is lying and the kiss they make for almost the end of the volume is just soo bad but good for the plot In general, i feel like the movie lacks a lot of the ideas that were developed and helps Scott pilgrim that instead of becoming a dumb plot for two people with love For becoming a story about the mundanity and perseverance of two lovers that can't coexist without having to really understand each one, Im saying this because the comic is Superb while the movie is dumb fun But i feel offense of what you say because i like the movie, and without liking i would never get interested to read the comic Ok i feel pointless trying to explain to you because we are on the same field, and i like that but i wanted to say the truth aniways Have a good day and im happy to see a Scott pilgrim fan!

[@magmablock]

Man, I would have fucking loved to have this as a Saturday morning cartoon as a kid.

This already looks like a Man Of Action Studios or Nerd Corps Entertainment cartoon. The art style carries similar comic book style influences.

[@recht_voor_zijn_raap5506]

The way the song changes from calm section to >FIGHT< section literally made me wanna scream on my first playthrough. Same when Korsica overheats the generator later on.

This is a good spot to get a 100 hits combo, I got one in the first playthrough without noticing it.

[@kuritsa]

I would disagree. Since the time it takes is one of the factors, getting an S rank for time taken shows you did not enjoy the song enough

[@artstsym]

This is easily the most hype moment in the entire game. You've been listening to perfectly serviceable if mid game-specific tracks (as well as a few songs that I'm sure someone cares about, but I've never heard), then this banger fucking busts onto the scene out of nowhere and the fight absolutely kicks ass, and it only gets better from here. This game has no business rocking as hard as it does.

The freaking Bigfoot pose always gets me

[@SeriousLeo5]

Hi-Fi Rush was suprsingly challenging for me until the last third or so(on Normal difficulty; most likely a skill issue). But this section was so great that it singlehandedly made me a better player as a result.

[@AlbanianThrash]

there's a moment where all the different mechanics click together and you get in the zone and this fight is that moment

[@Zecuu]

This level put such a huge smile on my face. I just beat it yesterday and got so hyped when I heard Invaders must Die come on.

[@nuclear_war_games]

This scene instantly stood at the top of my list of "awesome battles in video games" after the Ashtray Maze from Control and Old Gods of Asgard stage from Alan Wake.

[@andrewjazdzyk1215]

[@Truskulls]

Ever since I saw the Scott Pilgrim trailer using this song, id imagine epic fights to the rhythm and beat of this song, and now this! It's come full circle....

[@dr.donkey5427]

This game was a 9 for me until this level popped the fuck off with Invaders Must Die and shot up to a 10. Had a smile on my face the entire time and S ranked the fuck outta it.

[@Mandemon1990]

I don't know why, but that cookbot is my favorite miniboss. Yeah, he is basic samurai bot enemy, just with new skin, but something about his entrance and look just make me go "FUCK YES!"

[@Zork07]

The game has some nice original songs, but when a banger like "Invaders must die" plays the gameplay escalates to a whole new level, imagine if they had the money to put more awesome and well fitting songs. This is easily the best moment of the game.

I cant tell you how hard this game was with a keyboard. But I did it. This games amazing.

[@Zenith07]

My favorite Move in this game is the Dash + Heavy attack, you bring your enemies in the air alot faster, and 90% of the enemies cant do anything about it. And to just break their guard i just spam my Allies in the field while i do some chip damage, the harder difficulty’s is way too punishing to get hit, but surprisingly the game is very Easy, the only boss/Enemy that made things hard where the “Bird and especially Roquefort” he’s way too big and he moves erratically for he’s size that I can’t understand it.

[@captainblastems3367]

Its perfect because the game is the definition of "easy to play hard to master"

[@thepaintingbanjo8894]

Virtually all the bosses ranged from easy to punish to providing a fair challenge I died 25 times with Kale... every one of his hits takes like a quarter off health on hard.
