Best Friends Play God Hand (Part 05)

[@skolkor]

"Why was that bench for a giant?" Pat every time he walks through a park

[@crash-ew6hw]

Lmao

[@skolkor]

@@crash-ew6hw Thank you for reminding me of that comment, unusually witty for being me.

[@MantraMan2077]

"Why is that Bench like, for a giant?" - Says Pat to every bench he sees.

[@gaminggoddess85]

Just what everyone needs right now, a bad plot that doesn't take itself seriously at all to help us recover from the bad plot that takes itself way too seriously.

[@Chadius]

But what if Gene was a demon? ZE PERFECT TWEEST!

[@clowe1009]

I needed to recover from all the barfing I did yesterday.

[@Ticketman99]

Chad Serrant Why are you here, Mr. David Cage?

[@GuyUWishUWere]

but tokyo mirage sessions doesn't even have a plot!

[@gaminggoddess85]

**ba dum tish**

[@ScourgeSolace]

They keep saying “it’s so bad” about the presentation and my goodness I hate saying this but this entire game is a huge shitpost I love it

[@MattManDX1]

He loves it!

[@Crazimo]

Michael Lacy This one actually makes me super mad. Fuck IGN.

[@weir-t7y]

Michael Lacy never stop

[@ImmaLittlePip]

Didn't ign rate Kirby 64 low

[@Kladyos]

"Can't spell ignorant without IGN"

[@insaincaldo]

They did put it on their top must have PS2 games list though, and almost apologized for mistaking it for a bad game.

[@Pikalu12]

"Get your pets spayed and neutered!" Good advice from a villain.

[@zanyraccoon6361]

Wait... does that mean Bob Barker was a villain the whole time!?

[@ScourgeSolace]

Picaleeloo it’s “neutered and SPADE!”

[@Dreath777]

That sentai hero shit is one of the best things I've seen in a video game. It is a crime that this game was a failure.

[@djh491]

Oh boy, it's Pat Midget 5. Oh boy, it's the Pat-er Rangers. Oh boy, it's five different versions of Pat as a boss fight.

[@EnerKaizer]

Actually... One of the two currently running Sentai teams is named Patranger... No joke.

[@Crazimo]

I want the final boss to be two Pats standing on each other in a trench coat.

[@brainflash1]

Pat was never that flexible.

[@Samm815]

I just looked it up, and EnerKaizer isn't wrong.

[@AshlynOne]

EnerKaizer What the actual fuck. I'm waiting for SBFP to find out about this and god damnit someone needs to photoshop pat on all of the ranger heads and have it on my desk by monday, STAT! Apparently it's a pun on the word patrol because they look like stereotypical old school police officers. So they're patrol rangers, aka Patrangers. I'm still going to emphasize the Pat to make them pat-rangers though. In my head canon they're all just clones of Pat running around.

[@Idnesra]

"You can find me at the...CLUB!" IM DEAD

[@ggggfan1]

That whole "Bananas are proof of god creating things for man" is kinda funny if you think about how most bananas you see nowadays are basically as to wild bananas as wild dogs are to pugs

[@czarkusa2018]

(I think it was satire) though you can never be sure

[@ggggfan1]

Given the guy who said that retracted it upon learning that wild bananas, a) exist, and b) are uncondusive to human consumption it's safe to assume it was a serious statement

[@suddenllybah]

PolygonalFish God's love that we made with our own hands. ... While believing in other gods.

[@loganshore4520]

no dont you see, it means men are our own gods, or hes stupid that works too

[@Abdega]

Plot twist: Bananas were the forbidden fruit

[@GohanEgret]

God Hand is basically the video game embodiment of "I'm in that weird part of KZbin again."

[@ImmaLittlePip]

Mad Midget 5 has to be one of my favorite bosses in video game history

[@lavendergooms5156]

It’s almost lucky that this game flew under the radar. I could totally see Saban taking issue with them if they knew they existed. Game probably would have never seen a PS3 release.

[@WTFisTingispingis]

ImmaLittlePip "...douchebags."

[@0rriAndroid]

ATTENTION: If you still haven't heard, Matt is out of comission with a mouth infection of some kind. This will likely cause a shortage of TMS and Detroit and much more God Hand. Get well soon, boss!

[@seb24789]

Poor guy. Infections are a bitch.

[@josemarques2304]

''This will likely cause a shortage of TMS'' God bless

[@0rriAndroid]

Don't let the TMS fans hear you. They're more defensive than you can imagine

[@TroopperFoFo]

A mouth infection? Wonder how he got that.

[@LittleMountain90]

Oh no, more God Hand! Whatever shall we do?! /sarcasm

[@kmizu8646]

Here you see a reason why you shouldn't put important moves on triangle. You can screw up after dpdging since the sweep comes as a cancel to the ducking, for that reason it's preferable to have powerful moves or launchers rather than utility moves on that button. Also Guardbreak in down square makes perfect sense since you will more than likely activate the enemy guard with your combo so you can transition it smoothly by pulling the stick down. I at least see it way more intuitive and surely the developers thought so as well.

[@ImmaLittlePip]

The game has a gorilla luchador as it's boss Why don't people believe me when I say this is the best game ever made

[@robotman3440]

ImmaLittlePip Because of IGN: masters of deception

[@powerup931]

ImmaLittlePip they see bad graphics and immediately repress the memory. People are weird like that

[@namegoeshere5220]

ImmaLittlePip Because it wasn't a gorilla that luchadored. It was a luchador dressed up like a gorilla. Then again does that make him a luchador gorilla or gorilla luchador...? We may never know. *We may never know.*

[@Abdega]

I believe you

[@Linkmasterson]

"this is the best game ever made" that's bullshit but i believe it

[@DioTheKnife]

So a human, possessed by a demon, in a gorilla suit, wearing a luchador mask. Goddamn I love this game.

[@loganshore4520]

man, imagine a two player versus mode where you can both make your own combos. there would probably be a competitive scene to this day.

[@czarkusa2018]

One of the few reasons I can think of for having a longer basic combo string is to be less predictable against a human opponent. PS have you tried Absolver which died pretty fukken fast lmao

[@loganshore4520]

yes and you could build in a mix up or a sweep, instead of maining characters you would main moves.

[@insaincaldo]

Sounds pretty rad, sadly build your own fighters don't seem to gain traction, or last.

[@kraajkase]

Wasn't Absolver kinda like that?

[@tzera_rhuon]

kraajkase I was going to mention Absolver but you beat me to it 😀 Apparently Absolver will be one of the free PS+ games for July.

[@gamermilk2989]

I can't imagine getting along with people who are genuinely turned off by the campy voices and acting.

[@miserableoutcast]

josh adams Those are the types of people who say “I can’t believe you actually enjoy watching these shitty b-horror movies when everything is so terrible! They aren’t true art like Fast and Furious 18 : The Ghost of Vin Diesel”

[@StrumstarHammer]

"Mad Midget Five"? More like the Pat Patrol

[@bract3519]

Royal Pat Authority

[@suace251]

the delivery of the "keep on rolling" line is mad genius

[@VerbalLearning]

The cheesy jokes/puns made by the mad midget five and the fact you fight them and the gorilla luchador almost back to back is one of the things that completly sold me on this game when i played it for the first time. That shit is fucking gold.

[@jonathanfolkerts8281]

Pat no! Succubi is plural! You fool! Tis succubus when it's one.

[@JeedyJay]

A small bat-winged lady who runs a fight club isn't a damn succubus, anyway. He's already just throwing words around, so he may as well pluralize, too.

[@gaminggoddess85]

She makes me think of Friday from Landstalker.

[@JeedyJay]

I think they called Friday a "wood nymph" in the instruction manual. I don't know if that term showed up in her hidden village, though.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

[ LILITH AENSLAND POUTS SILENTLY IN DISTANCE ]

[@jackjack121]

Dude...this has Suda written all over it. I cant believe how insane this game is.

[@smward87]

You'd think that, but nope. Was all Mikami. Suda was still in time out after Killer 7 flopped just as badly as this game.

[@howiewong7057]

I like to think Gene learned a Gorilla Suplex maneuver just in case he ever needed to do that. Bonus points for the fact that move existed in the first place

[@TheTsugnawmi2010]

"Douchebags...!" is the one line from this game I remember

[@WTFisTingispingis]

Macent it's my *favorite* line in the game.

[@KF-hf4nt]

YOU'RE ALL A BUNCHOFFREAKINIDIOTS!!! *spit flies everywhere* Is probably my fave

[@DevonPalmer98]

I thought this game would be terrible but it's so much fun to watch

[@LunasLostLove]

shit you'd be amazed how fun it is to play

[@AshlynOne]

This is probably my favorite game of all time.

[@manwiththemachinegun]

It gets better.

[@mastermarkus5307]

Eh, I feel like it's probably fun to play, but I feel like it's kind of boring to watch.

[@MiaowGaiGar]

It can be terrible _and_ fun to watch, and indeed, it is.

[@Titanium]

It's a shame Wools set the game on Easy, though I suppose I understand. I'll attempt to expand on Pat's explanation of difficulty. For anyone who hasn't played - the game has an adaptive difficulty level which scales up and down depending on your performance. Level 1-2, enemies are passive and give you a lot of space and tend to attack you one at a time. Level 3, enemies gain new moves and react to your attacks by dodging and punishing and become more aggressive. At Level DIE, enemies gang up on you and attack you mercilessly. By selecting Easy, Wools locked the game between Level 1-2. Normal unlocks the adaptive difficulty all the way. And Hard locks the game to Level DIE all the time, no matter how bad you're doing. I think Wools could've handled this on Normal, since the difficulty scales down anyway if he was doing poorly. LP Tax and all. We all saw him get huge in Dark Souls, we could have at least seen him get huge here. On the plus side, the Arena Challenges are all difficulty locked to certain levels. Which means even if you play on Easy difficulty, you'll eventually be forced to deal with a legit Level DIE challenge. I hope Woolie at least gives them a real shot.

[@smward87]

A good explanation and I applaud you. But this is the youtube comment section. There will be "Woolie is playing on Easy!? What an idiot!" comments until the final episode.

[@swagtasticpanda]

That was explained in episode one and two but thanks man.

[@goodvillain1015]

It's time for the Mighty Midget Power Rangers

[@insaincaldo]

Wait that's not... Ooh..

[@Constantine-316]

welcome back to the best videogame ever made

[@MrUnimportant]

I was super looking forward to that gorilla fight. I'm glad Woolie unintentionally allowed us to see the gorilla's whole moveset. Man I love this game.

[@switchbladex9965]

“I love it”. Pat:”He loves it” I laugh every time he does that

[@Tenchigumi]

Okay, so I legit had no idea Woolie was playing this on Easy (I mostly listen to LPs in the background while working and stuff), as I just kept hearing him mention that he was playing on Normal. So when it came time to play for the first time, I chose Normal... and I thought Woolie was a god for being able to beat up enemies so easily, because I was absolutely getting demolished. Then I remembered them mentioning something about the difficulty bar never progressing beyond level 2, while I was regularly bouncing between 3 and Die... and then finally looked at their save screen. It was at that point that I decided to also restart the game at Easy, and had a DRAMATICALLY improved time.

[@clansullivan6059]

Hey, IGN, how was Sonic and the Black Knight? Oh, 3.9? Better than god hand. Suuuuuure.

[@brainflash1]

Just us the same excuse Jim Sterling does: Numbers don't mean anything.

[@ImmaLittlePip]

brainflash1 Well to be fair Jim sterling is mad that steam allows it's costumers to chose what they want to buy

[@brainflash1]

Because flooding the market with derivative, tasteless asset flips could never have hurt indie developers who try to get attention for their legitimate games, now could it?

[@ImmaLittlePip]

brainflash1 Sounds like a poor excuse for him wanting censorship And wouldn't a good game speak for its self? Like if someone made a good beat em up wouldn't word of mouth spread it Better than aids simulator and the hentai VN

[@ImmaLittlePip]

brainflash1 Also welcome to the free market whose to say you can't buy both or neither

[@jayalpha9163]

When do you think Woolie will realize that there's a quick turn button?

[@kaygeo]

He won't because Pat explicitly told him there wasn't one...for some reason.

[@kwedl]

It's both sad and amazing that a lot of people only find out about this game now.

[@punishedfist]

Press up on the right analogue stick bro, it's what you should be doing 90% of the time in this game. Thanks again for playing God Hand

[@mkatapodis2]

So is Pat the secret leader of the Mad Midget 5?

[@JohnSmith_1920]

Patron = Zordon

[@ImmaLittlePip]

John That makes too much sense

[@AfroMetalMizu]

Yeah, but will ya'll be able to get Road To The Final Victory archived? Either on another site or KZbin? I need the hype again

[@TheOtisUpham]

circular7 this is the third comment ive seen like this. Y'all are brutal lol.

[@circular7]

TheOtisUpham thanks! :)

[@negativitronprime]

God hand is so hype

[@NarwhalEntertainment]

I choose to believe it's a gorilla IN a gorilla suit, something about this game makes me think that's the case XD

[@Laura_M-16]

20:58 Kirk Cameron is the banana guy. What he didn't know was that bananas have been bred and raised by humans for many years.

[@PureMetalDragon]

My favorite part of the Banana is proof of God's love thing, is that the guy doing this has obviously never seen a natural banana, as opposed to those we eat that steam from years of artificial selections. It's just fucking full of huge seeds, and the flesh is apparently super tough.

[@senfood]

I forgot about the somersaults and now my sides are in orbit.

[@christiandog6582]

This game is fun, anyone who says otherwise, is a boring stick in the mud who doesn't know the word "fun" its controls are tight theres a radar so you can see enemies behind you and you can customize your moves to however you want! If you get hit it becomes easier and if you do well the game gets harder. If we're talking about story and characters then that's where the game falls short, It basically becomes that one anime that you really liked but it only lasted one season cause of its lack of story.

[@richardhelwig2997]

When Minecraft: Story Mode, a game rated higher than God Hand?

[@WTFisTingispingis]

Richard Helwig just stop

[@severteran9897]

Never stop

[@richardhelwig2997]

Can't stop

[@ganryusasaki]

Won't stop

[@Detective_Bonghits]

"Why dont YOU go play the game on normal mode and get back to me" i just did and it was fucking sick. Plus now i get this new air of superiority that im better than woolie

[@Kawayolnyo]

Back in the days when this game came out, I sincerely and absolutely unironically gave it "solid 10 out of 10" on GameFAQs. Not even a single millisecond of regret ever came through since then. With this game, regret/dismal is a nonexistent concept.

[@shinichizio]

"That works, man." [Woolie is slapped right in the face by a gorilla.] Crazy Talk has no weaknesses.

[@BuildABarns]

How come Woolie isn't throwing any melee weapons? I've always found it better to hit with one a few times and throw before it breaks because it does more damage.

[@kaygeo]

Him not throwing boxes has me Pepe Silvia-ing every episode. Does he know something I don't!?

[@sousedmonk7418]

Fun facts about that creationist banana video: - It features an over-the-hill Kirk Cameron as a wingman for the banana guy, Ray Comfort - Cameron was, for a time, more associated with the video than Comfort was - Cameron has also see-sawed between Atheism and Christianity, *based solely on the state of bananas that he sees in the world today*

[@patrickbutler1784]

19:44 Pat attempts to use Crazy Talk to spawn a sequel to God Hand.

[@lpenrike]

woolie not ducking the double lariat makes me doubt his expertise in fighting games

[@zanyraccoon6361]

Does anyone else actually like how the camera can go through walls? I hate it when the camera stops and gets stuck as if it's some sort of solid object. Lowering the opacity on the walls instead of making them completely disappear would be better, but I still like this style of camera.

[@heykenzo4284]

[@Timestrider539]

Mad Midget 5 in part 5. Nice.

[@chakatBombshell]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME! So many bosses that the game makes sure you won't forget for a long time.

[@LDsprite]

God, I've been playing along with this series; there is just so much fucking hidden tech in this game. I've beaten this game around a dozen times over the years, and I'm *still* figuring out new stuff. It's ridiculous, I love it so much. If anyone hasn't done this, try playing God Hand on an emulator, with codes for infinite money or all techniques, just so you can have complete freedom to play around with the move list - the potential for sick-ass combos is mind-boggling.

[@najibothman2607]

i don't know why but when Pat said damn that clown, it's the most funniest thing to me.

[@miserableoutcast]

Remember kids, if you have a fast animation where a character is being hit repeatedly just loop the sound effect of that character being hit over itself! Sounds super good!

[@JuneTheBard]

I'm constantly yelling at my monitor "WOOLIE USE YOUR METER! IT'S BEEN FULL FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES! JUST USE IT! THERE'S A REASON IT'S THERE!" it's no wonder he's playing on super scrub mode.

[@thesyndrome43]

I LOVE IT!

[@Raphie009]

26:30 You are about to witness the strength of *Crazy Talk* and *20/20 Vision* combined.

[@StriderHoang]

The sentai fight was made to teach Woolie, “Backflips aren’t hot shit.”

[@Lonelycoast]

"Keep on rollin"

[@thedudeperson]

PLEASE UPVOTE SO THEY SEE THIS PRO TIP: JUKE (Up on analog) CANCEL RIGHT AFTER A GUARD BREAK TO GET BACK INTO YOUR COMBO FASTER. THIS IS ALSO WHY THE DEFAULT GAURDBREAK ANIMATION, OR THOSE SIMILAR, ARE THE BEST CHOICE BECAUSE THE RECOVERY IS IMMEDIATELY CANCELLABLE

[@ChristianDeLarge]

What’s funny about this, is now that I have gone back and starting playing this again, it drives me crazy to watch Wools have full Godhand Meter and NOT immediately using it on a boss. You almost always get it back during the course of a fight. Seriously. If you are playing this today, do not be afraid to use the God Hand meter.

[@BottleWaterson]

I wont say the sentai escape was priceless, but it was pretty close.

[@tripodranger7873]

I don't have the heart to joke around anymore. I couldn't bring myself to club these aces. They just aren't worth it, in spades.

[@AshkanKiani]

Pat you should probably not ask Woolie questions when he's about to die and trying to focus, lol. He's got this thing where he HAS to finish what he's talking about at all costs, no matter how trivial.

[@MikeBohl]

Yes, Michaels are all destined for future greatness, Pat.

[@MantraMan2077]

Man, Gorrilla Grodd's brother is going to _town_ on that ass!

[@CircadianRhythmm]

even tho its really just a back to back ass kicking simulator so far it never gets any less satisfying lol

[@stryflyer]

Things Woolie doesn't know Volume 4. As seemingly everyone knows besides the best friends, L1 is a quick turn. When facing enemies you can press R1 for roulette and Jean will turn around to face the nearest enemy in slowed down time. This can be effective to quickly use a move to hit grouped together enemies. Effective when you actually play on a real difficulty level.

[@morbidabyss12]

I never in my life thought that I’d seen a mini sentai squad that you can mulch with your fists Also jack skelelington dmc lp when? Billy! Do it!

[@vidaheeho]

Yes.

[@thetimesword8092]

It's so weird watching this playthrough while also rewatching Dark Souls 1. Woolie being good and fast vs Woolie being slow and slow.

[@GuyUWishUWere]

Woolie works in mysterious ways

[@Ironman1o1]

Best friends refrenceing Ray Comfort? Will wonders never cease.

[@AzureDragoonGX]

I'm realizing that the intro music for this LP is the boss ost for the Midget Rangers. Is this Billy's secret commentary of the midget-ness of Pat? ;O

[@TheAntiSanta]

Man, the Banana as Proof of God's Design is some pretty Old School Stuff, right there. Like from when Bananas first got introduced to America Old School. I'm surprised Woolie never heard of it, but I guess not all Churches have heard the Good Word of the Book of Bananas.

[@TheWill2Fail]

22:32 i didn't know Woolie did some voice acting in this lol It kinda sounds like him doing a high pitched voice

[@TheGrayll]

"Go play this game on normal!" I did. Repeatedly. Granted didn't have to do commetary over it but its not as hard as hard.

[@pedro21862]

I love woolie but constantly... CONSTANTLY he tries for a gaurd break he misses, but the few times there's an obvious opportunity and just blows it. when he actually hits it I cry with relief and the cycle continues. I'm loving this LP regardless.

[@gomitax92]

like... what do i even say to this episode... that was both awesome and insane.

[@eric4133]

Just going to point out how much better this game is at staying on the character and allowing backgrounds to not get in the way of the game play. Bloodborne comes to mind for how a really good modern game can still fuck that up so much.

[@Tucker0603]

If I ever gain a disgusting amount of wealth...first task...God Hand Remastered...

[@WTFisTingispingis]

Oh man, i didn't know Pat's cousins were in this.

[@brandonhartman6065]

The only gap in Pat's defense is the gap he feels in his mind

[@Rafikator]

if they were to make another godhand all they need is a few new enmies another dumb story and more moves CHANGE NOTHING ELSE
