Fun fact: liberation missions are the only practical reason for Slowgauge to exist outside of PVP

[@xamadfp]

Fun fact #2: The devs thought about this ahead of time, and as a result, SlowGauge in 5 has a much higher MB capacity, making it harder to set as your default chip. Couldn't let it be _too good_ , I guess...

[@Multigameguy35]

And cust sword and much lesser extent

[@raynegallaher7661]

Coming back to this, past me made a small mistake, there is one other reason. In battle network 6. You can stay in BeastOver for longer. Is it worth putting this in your folder for that? I, and probably most sane people, would say no. But it is a use.

[@MrMarinus18]

@@xamadfp It is true though. With the slowgauge getting 2 under par is almost trivial.

Fun trick: Pause while you're charging the dark chip. If it's green, keep holding the button, if it's purple, release the button and unpause. You'll get it every time.

[@davidromero2704]

I did not know that. I just kept timing to the point where I eventually learned the timing at each charge. My friend and I would compete with each other to see who can use the dark chip charge consecutively without having to let the charge rhythm play out before releasing the button. We'd back away from the viruses and would charge. We'd get like 10 plus charges in a row.

Well either that, or there's multiple sci-labs around Electopia and Lan's dad just keeps getting punted between them every few months.

[@OathToOblivion]

Actually, Graveyard Area 1 in BN6 actually does have a gravestone with all the Navis from Battle Chip Challenge and Network Transmission on it. So Zero.EXE IS canon...it's just that Graveyard Area 1 being one of the casualties of BN6's localization troubles means that western audiences wouldn't have seen it without being able to read Japanese.

[@yomammabe1]

FYI, there’s an odd thing about double team ds. It was, for whatever reason, retranslated instead of using the GBA translation. The GBA’s translation was actually a lot more solid, following the backlash of 4’s translation. The DS one, however, has more errors and odd changes, a lot of which seem to be the result of find and replace.

[@ViperousVT]

Seriously it's like they got rid of the translators for battle 1-3 and replaced with people using Google translate to translate the game.

[@nananamamana3591]

I think what I love about BN5 is how the "tanky bois" for both versions (Magnet Man and Knightman) were not only former adversaries, but, get to stand out as some of the *BEST* navis in this game. Magnet Man hits like a bus, while Knightman is, unironically, the clutch clear king. It's both tragic, and totally understandable why we can't have BOTH of them on the same team. But it was also really nice to give these villains from BN 2 (a game I know a LOT of people skipped) some love.

True. I like Princess Pride's redemption arc in Team Colonel and change of her personality from a sassy European monarch to a "servant of her people" type of leader.

Team Colonel's drill scene makes way more sense than why it happens in Team Protoman. Although I do gotta give credit to whoever came up with "overworked businesswoman uses heavy mining machinery on an abandoned island to de-stress after work"...

[@Ashendal]

Team Protoman as a whole just seems like a "well we need to do two versions now so slap something together." Even though it came out first it's very obvious at points that it was an afterthought and they really didn't think things through regarding how to handle plot points.

[@Alex_Off-Beat]

@@Ashendal I actually prefer the TP version of the drill scene to the TC one. Pride's reasoning for being there may make more sense but Tesla's is way more fun and memorable. I don't think either game really fits better than the other one. They both have their ups and downs.

[@orangegalen]

Same, though to be fair, that's probably the nostalgia hitting us.

[@geostelar8517]

Another fun fact about the battle system is that they changed a bug that was present in full synch in exe 4 The emotion counter when at full synch is 255 when doing a counter and normally attacking an enemy will bring it up from the base 120 and getting hit lowers it to eventual anxious or anger states But for whatever reason in exe 4 the number wasn't capped so by spamming chips like air hockey you can get constant full synch without counters In exe 5 it is now capped at 254 so only a counter can get you 255

[@xanaguythelegend7770]

That's strange. I thought that was an intended function due to how quickly people can get full-synchro in Bn4.

[@JustSomePasserby]

I played Team Protoman back in the day, and I'm pretty sure I remember the Houdini of the Beach scene having extra lines explaining it. They go into detail about how the technique will stretch fabric to its limit and likely cause a rip while staying in overly-dramatic character the whole time. Every line was also weirdly specific about exactly how it happens. It was at least 50% more awkward and no, I also will not Google it to check if I am remembering it correctly.

[@_Banjo_]

Been waiting for this. The way you pushed yourself through the painful BN4, and some sidegames recently. BN5 is one of my favorites, i know it so well. And the DS version was quite clever the way it utilised the GBA slot. Butttttt....they made me replay the game ive already replayed multiple times. You can really see how there were elements of BN4 that had some potential but fell flat on multiple occasions. BN5 really iterated on these ideas. I loved the use of Souls/Actual controlling the navis in the liberation missions. Gave me pokemon vibes! I did like the idea of building whole folders around particular souls which i thought didn't work out too well on BN4. The further plot of the darkchips and darksouls was great. The part with where you temporarily obtain Protoman was a nice sidepart too. The story is simultaneously ....awful/simple plottwists with over expositions / conveneniences..... whilst also having some plot twists that blew my mind, made so much sense...and some dark /messed up moments....and also some heartfelt ones.

I liked it since the people they had for it (hilariously enough the MMX voice actors of the time) were able to replicate the NT Warrior dub voices pretty well. It fooled me when I was younger.

Played blue moon, protoman, then gregar and was so confused on the plot of part 6, thanks for the mix up being cleared out

[@MrMarinus18]

52:35 I really like that. These things significantly increase the skill ceiling and Shadowman is a good navy even without it.

Continuity in Battle Network?! As to continue a running joke from a certain stream "We remembered it Lan Hikari!" Also surprised the reused content bin is still able to work after BN4 new game + (minus tallying the proper number after that)

[@Skychael]

The moment you mentioned Oran Island I could see the Houdini of the Beach section incoming.

[@SteamBoy27]

I've been waiting for this. 3 is my favorite version but 5 is my 2nd just for the liberation missions.

Great Video, as always. When it comes to the GBA's sound chip, it seems to have a bad reputation. I can see how it really could get on people's nerves, and I am completely aware of the fact that nostalgia mostly clouds my judgement, but I loved it. I would like to offer a reason why the GBA's sound chip actually fit BN. I agree it didn't work for most things, but it worked for BN. The music created for the BN games through the GBA's sound chip sounds (at least, to me) like it has this "computery" theme. This kind of soundtrack actually fits the theme of BN: It's about computers. Like, rudimentary computer technology that might still have those kinds of beeps and screeches. These games WERE made at a time when computing technology wasn't so refined like it is now. On the contrary, Double Team's remixed soundtrack sounded a little too "fine," like all the wrinkles that fit the series had been removed.

Team Protoman was the first BN game I have ever played. The only reason I got it because it was in a bargain bin at a costco and it was the best looking gba game in there. But I have enjoyed the BN and SF series since then. Watching your other videos have been a nostalgic trip. Thanks man.

[@xPr0j3cTxSiNx]

Another great video! The only thing I noticed you didn't mention is the ability to switch to the other game's navis during liberation missions. You can only change one per liberation mission, but it really helps out a ton when playing Team Protoman to get access to Knightman (since Magnetman's charge shot and special chip both suck)

[@naveensensei8220]

I remember crying playing this game i loved it so much.

[@AzureIV]

I am all on board for those Liberation Missions. They look interesting.

[@inconemay1441]

Heck yeah, BN5 is a classic to me, and Be Somewhere (from the Stream season of the anime and the Japanese version of Double Team intro) is such a nostalgic song. I love the squad aspect of TP/TC and at this point Lan's friends are a liability and cannot be separated anyways so it's welcome. Not sure if they changed some things, but the drill comp is even harder in the DS version for some reason. Also your voice reminds me of a certain Yakuza reviewer, which is nice to listen to while multitasking.

[@jkjack0742]

Colonel: my job is done. Everyone who played team protoman: but you barely did anything.

[@b1acksteve]

Tbh I wouldn't have been mad if they made a compilation of MMBN6 for the DS as they did with MMBN5

[@MrMarinus18]

34:14 I really like this chapter as it shows an actual extended scene of Lan interacting with his friends.

[@zitathenigerian-amer.mappe6790]

I love how you down played the logic in this game, you made seem way more funny when you think about it. I am so used this kind of logic XD

[@OccuredJakub12]

Hey, at least the GBA music doesn't loterally make your ears bleed like the GB's tortured sounds!

[@ryanwilson9555]

19:19 I’m not 100% certain if the misspelling of “mission” was intentional or unintentional. But if the former case is true, I can’t help but feel the goal was to follow the theme of occasional typos appearing throughout the Battle Network games. Especially with just coming off of BN4, which might as well have been the “Mega Man X6” (to an extent) of the Battle Network Series, in terms of its prevalence of spelling and grammatical errors.

[@QuantomX64]

Okay, okay... Bravo bravo! that Shadowman walking on air bit had me rolling.

So for any KZbin viewers who didn't show up to the streams, John got 1-turns, EVERY TIME he used Order Points, or atleast nearly every time. Also it wasn't just Baryl who told him about the image data, every half hour or something, Chat would scream at John to remember the navis behind him were just shells.
