Destroying TTYD's Bosses via Crowd Manipulation

[@jeastman9603]

i love that hammer bro triggers when you mess up the hammer action command. like he's insulted on behalf of hammer-users everywhere at mario's shoddy display

[@Eldoofus]

As a fellow hammer user, I'm also offended at the sight of someone failing the easiest action command in the whole franchise.

[@Mario64000]

@@Eldoofus Paper Mario: Color Splash hammer action command needs a near frame-perfect timing to get the excellent (or I was too much used to the Sticker Star hammer action command) I don't know why they changed from releasing the stick to just an A press timing.

Honestly can't believe that audience members throwing things at you isn't pure RNG and I never noticed.

[@exeggcutertimur6091]

I didn't either! Shows how good of a design it is, really.

[@rosymuscovy7967]

Dang, I was expecting stuff like endless amounts of stage hazards falling on the bosses and ridiculously strong items being throw to you.

[@BBSplat]

Malleo has some videos on the TTYD TAS, they do RNG manip to get item throws during the glitz pit. Unfortunately, that sort of manipulation isn't really possible in real time.

[@dustymcwari4468]

Make the audience a bunch of Luigis xd

[@Sonic-oh2ly]

Honestly this is cooler though

[@Knux5577]

@@BBSplat there are some codes for audience manipulation but they're a little unstable

[@HerbMandoom]

@Sonic sort of. The title could be considered misleading since this is basically just a peril build, which is a very common thing if I remember right.

[@MachetesAreFun]

I remember my brother playing this when he was a kid and he was getting really mad at some boss fight. An X-naut in the audience went to through something at him and he foiled it so the X-naut screamed and ran off. I chuckled. He snapped in the most aggressive and serious voice "GOOD! X-nauts are nothing but TROUBLE!" like he was pissed off not only at the boss but that he didn't get a friendlier audience.

[@smtmonke]

The audience really is your biggest enemy in TTYD, especially when they give the boss buffs or give you debuffs and damage. That being said, it's just as likely to help you as it is to kill you, so risk versus reward and all that

[@TheWorstPartyMember]

I love the idea of a child shouting "they're nothing but trouble!" like some kind of old-timey cartoon villain.

I only just realized you’re using crowd anger to activate megarush, that’s genius

[@giraffedragon6110]

y'know, this explains why I've only ever seen the hammer bro throw something at me in the SP tutorial. Hammer was my go-to and easiest attack ever.

[@donns.3794]

Can we talk about 3:46 for a moment-- Goombella sacrifices ALL her health so Mario (with ONE health point left at this point) can take out the boss with one Special move.... prob the ballsiest, riskiest strategy I've ever seen in this game.

[@kpounder4908]

I thought you’d beat bosses by having the crowd kill them lol (they don’t attack enemies upon checking the wiki) Still this is a very unique way of killing bosses

[@HerbMandoom]

Yeah this is just a different way to do a peril build. It's still pretty neat tho!

[@nj8833]

my head canon is that the hammer bro wants to see your hammer abilities improve, so he chucks his hammer at you to put you in peril and unlock your deepest potential

[@JustAJosuke]

Finally... TRUE crowd control.

[@sagacious03]

So in other words, controlling when the audience attacks you to get into Peril? Well, I guess it's more consistent than trying to use Stage Events as your main source of damage. But I know which of the two interests me more! Still, a very neat video! Thanks for uploading!

[@Kappy0]

Dope strats. LOL. The audience def opens up a new avenue for some really slick-looking stuff :)

[@eduardorpg64]

Holy f*cking sh*t, the battle against Grodus was awesome! Just a single Power Bounce attack, and you killed him! Awesome job!

[@ElTaitronAnim]

Wow, I didn't even know different thrown items did different amounts of damage, I thought they all just did 1. Very fun strats!

The nice peril thing, also if you press B when you are about to get him by an audience member's rock, does it deflect back at them and knock -em out?

[@Koopatrol]

No, objects thrown by the audience cannot be Superguarded. You can still press X at the last second to kick them out, however.

[@StoMoComedoPro]

@@Koopatrol Ah yes, I did know about the x thing, it would be cool though, and it's funny either he does a big bounce and bounces back on stage, or he just goes right out of his, walking through the audience members and going "Whack 'em with a hammer!" Oh well, it yeah would be cool if you could superguard those attacks, but can you normal-guard them though?

No they can't be guarded either.

[@bowserjrsoutsidestory7125]

maybe retitle this video because the crowd is not hurting the bosses at all so what are you talking about?

[@pumpkinpog6855]

By angering the crowd (missing an attack, failing the hammer command), the crowd hits him down to the specific HP he wants, so he has 1 hp left, which puts Mario in Peril. This activates Mega Rush, and increases Mario's damage by 5, allowing Mario to deal insane damage to bosses despite being at extremely low levels.

[@Koopatrol]

Yeah, what PumpkinPog said.

@@GreyMaria nah I was wondering the same thing. It literally says using the crowd to win. It’s a simple misunderstanding. You don’t need to be an ass over it. Just be kind and explain what’s going on.
