The FTL Pre-igniter Experience

[@SpicyAvocado]

Wow, genuinely amazed by the amount of traction this meme has been getting. I also didn't know people still loved FTL as much as I do. Thanks for all the nice comments. I try to read them all. I've made another video like this on Crystal B.

[@c.Hessel]

Excellent editing my guy, absolutely subscribed for more

[@fwra1234]

great video megubro

[@molybdaen11]

It has not the best graphics but it's clean, atmospheric, fair and addictive.

[@theshadowthie1]

Ok but now you HAVE to do a video on FTL Multiverse!

[@SlendyMctendies]

Play Multiverse. Great Mod.

[@mattcroft]

It feels unnatural to get FTL presented in modern meme formats

[@bh4462]

"The Pre-Ignitor side of the game can lead to many memes some would consider... unnatural."

[@ferociousfeind8538]

_exaggerated anime shock noises_ Most of these memes... they are ancient! Does this guy know...!?

[@mattcroft]

​@@ferociousfeind8538I mean a helldivers 2 reference is hardly ancient. But all the same, FTL predates most of the old memes too

[@DiabloOfGod]

True

[@S31Syntax]

​@@mattcrofthonestly that one made me look at the upload date, I didn't realize it was so new. Genuinely surprised

[@xzardas541]

4 flaks with preigniter, most enjoyable FTL experience. I cast SHOTGUN!

[@SpicyAvocado]

Federation C ship and 2 Mark II Flaks. Unleash the Flaken

[@me21t20]

For his neutral special, he wields a GUN

[@everythingsalright1121]

I like burst lasers with fire beam on pre igniter. Start of the fight their entire ship is on fire lol. And targeting the rooms with crew in them reduces their hp enough that they wont try to fight a fire

[@eduardo_carvajal]

​@@everythingsalright1121 and later you hit only the crew

[@voidedgames7491]

Did something similar but with the burst laser (the one that shoots 3 for 2 power). As a smart Ork would say: “NEED MORE DAKKA”

[@jirilaska9788]

Thank you Smith and Smith for the expert work.

[@Greenicegod]

I didn't know Smith and Smith could even happen! Wild stuff

[@52nerfguy]

If I had a bug man for everytime I encountered a bug man called robert smith who thought he was human and was deathly afraid of other bug men, I'd have two bug men. Which isnt alot but its weird that it happened twice

[@kastu1811]

This is truly what it feels like to get early pre igniters. I got them on Stealth type a today and I just killed everything with no problems.

[@SpicyAvocado]

Stealth B is also a pre igniter dream. My 3rd best score run was in Stealth B and I named the ship "pre-igniter pls". Got over 6000 which is a really high score for me

[@MacEwanMouse]

@@SpicyAvocado It's funny how one little item turns Stealth B from a frantic cloaking and dodging simulator, to a professional fruit ninja simulator.

[@stevenneiman1554]

I think the best setup I ever got was 2x chain Vulcan, weapon pre-igniter, and stealth weapons. You get 10 seconds while my weapons ramp, and then you're toast.

[@mayuzanevideos]

Don't need fuel, we got Pre-igniter

[@SpicyAvocado]

This guy understands

[@Moros311]

Those who burn brightly burn quickly :)

[@Brancliff]

Man really combo'd 2 shield bubbles into Weapon Pre-Igniter right away Legendary luck and good editing, name a more iconic duo

[@adrianjsf]

I think this is the first time I have seen a FTL KZbin video recommended to me. Love the game ,so many evenings at the university playing. Long live the mantis boarding ship

[@Yrridian]

Remember, it's only hubris if you lose ;) Seriously this was great, FTL's visuals don't naturally go well with this kind of video but your editing really made it work. I could feel your pain in those Zoltan fights, and the dramatic power spike from 9:09 onwards was so satisfying to watch

[@josephtripp1696]

"...And they shot at us." "The galactic standard greeting, of course."

[@maxson7355]

the sisyphus engi got me good

[@mtk77621]

First time I've seen a really good FTL edit, good job

[@kingsuperbobboy]

Search FTL Funkier Than Light

[@Screech9]

FTL sensory overload is... an experience. Thanks for putting it together, domination runs like this are always fun, and I'm sure it was quite the effort shoving hundreds of memes into an FTL video and making it honestly funny

[@Amalgam03]

I once got a second Glaive beam and weapon preigniter on stealth cruiser B by sector 2 and proceeded to split the entire game in two. It was the greatest of all godruns

[@AlexandarJankovic]

Superb editing, never thought I'd see an FTL vid with modern day memes. Thank you!

[@justanotherguywithamoustac8893]

Surviving your own hubris just to fall victim to it is the ideal way to play FTL

[@Winasaurus]

"Oh cool an old FTL montage" *Helldivers 2 Difficulty image* HOLD UP I'm glad this game is still getting the attention it deserves. Also that first streak up until the Zoltan fight really sums up a lot of FTL. Either you sweep the ships effortlessly, or they turn into painful slogs that you literally just stop micromanaging and just accept the 5+ hull damage because the game clearly decides you're not sweeping now. This reminds me of 2 great pre-igniter runs I had. One ended with 2 Flak II and 2 Flak I, which was basically a speedrun as everything died in 1 or 2 shots. The other one ended with 3 burst laser II, I did have 4, but I found a Vulcan Chain Laser and couldn't resist. Once somethings shields were down they never came back up.

[@Maxkpo12]

An FTL video in 2024. I've been blessed, thank you (Also great video!)

[@Park-ll6mj]

This has excellent editing. And I'm amazed to see that I'm not the only one who deactivates shields to avoid icon weapons!

[@simeonellinger2064]

I wish I was as smart as you guys lol I never thought to do that...

[@3rdfriend]

And I feel very stupid to ask but what are icon weapons? And why do you avoid them deactivating shields? 😱

[@bfmv3265]

I love this little community, I think I played over 20 hours this week and i enjoyed every bit.

[@anniemay555]

Thank you Shondo for saving the universe and also the galaxy I appreciate it.

[@Belak44444]

It's a good feeling to have after watching a video where the only thing you'd change is for there to be more of it. Absolutely fantastic video man! I'm now crossing my fingers and going to your channel to hopefully find more.

[@theworkshopwhisperer.5902]

I appreciate a meaner who has a complex understanding of meme culture as well as the game that they are meaning. Premium content absolutely looking forward to more.

[@michaelt5188]

FTL is such a wonderful game, glad content creators are finding success with the game today

[@topkekm8817]

I havent seen an ftl video in probably 8+ years, i still play nearly every month and this video made me so pleased

[@itty_224]

The holy grail of indie games! Glad to see this one is still getting the attention it very much deserves.

[@UnstableStrafe]

This is probably the cleanest Flagship fight I've ever seen. They were not prepared for the power of the Glaive + pre-igniter

[@adrianjsf]

That disrespectful cloack at the end when the flagship is dead xD

[@pallingtontheshrike6374]

feels so surreal seeing ftl memery in 2024 and not 2014

[@darkhand412]

Quality FTL videos in the year 2024, absolute king shit.

[@SupremeRTS]

The editing is so high quality bro. Never seen an ftl video that wasn't mostly unedited

[@hyperhypa]

This is peak gaming, the fact you can insert so many memes into it was amazing.

[@Flippirino]

I had to do a double take questioning when I saw an FTL video

[@JazzyJustin]

God damn, FTL in modern edits with helldivers and whatnot is so bizarre I love it

[@Hederen]

Hey, this video was really enjoyable, I laughed a lot with the perfect combination of FTL, Super Smash Bros OST and modern memes, new suscriber

[@cjlego9876]

The editing in this video had me laughing and engaged the entire time. Amazing work. Also my favorite weapon set up is 2 burst 2's and a glaive so thats awsome aswell.

[@JoshSweetvale]

The ideal ship has EMP stunners, one or two lasers, a 4 person teleporter, a pair of mantises and a pair of crystals. Your setup is too merciful.

[@TheSIyFox]

Anybody else bothered by the fact that the engi was assigned to babysit the shield room instead of manning doors? "What is my purpose?" "You watch a rock press the recharge button and maybe fix something if he sucks at his job." "Oh my god." Edit: Rip da rock. Born to man a system, forced to rotate.

[@bonedonut]

Surviving with no fuel and with less than 30 percent hull points to then get a glaive and absolutely decimate the flagship, oh god 😂

[@cyber_winters]

Now I want to play this game again. Edit: Your editing is killing it! Amazing work :D. Take my subscription and gimme more!

Awesome edit! I'm glad to see people still playing FTL. If i could give you a reccomendation, there is a communuty made mod manager as well as a community edition calles "FTL:Multiverse" which you might enjoy! And also another thing, thank you for putting the music in the description. A lot of people just out music in and i cant find it because there is no source

[@gabrote42]

Multiverse: The proper successor to Captain's Edition everyone wanted. And because it's a source mod it can break everything it needs to function

[@felosia631]

Zoltan sectors legit scare me more than any hostile sector

[@SpicyAvocado]

Seriously. One bad Zoltan boarding event can end runs if your ship isn't ready for it

[@Bubbble_Bear]

But the Zoltan shield... its worth it right?

[@axinite2545]

Haha, loving the hubris sideshow. That really captures the soul of FTL runs, of running the line/gauntlet of having enough power to defeat the endgame or of burning to bright too soon.

[@Ic3crawler]

ROFL jesus christ this montage is a masterpiece I just "finished" (aka lost) another painstaking hard mode run and decided it would be time to hit youtube to see if I could find some tips, only to find people struggling in the same ways unless you get an insane combo out of nowhere and just shit on things. The editing and inside jokes in this video really hit home lol, nice work

[@TheFatVeganOne]

In my head I was thinking, this is either going to be a sick run of destruction, or you were instantly getting destroyed after buying the pre-igniter

[@asparagusoffice]

amazing vid, prolly the best FTL one I've seen

[@AceStrife]

My ADHD isn't severe enough to enjoy this video, ugh. Also FTL came out 12 years ago, christ we're getting old. PS: Check out Little V Mill's FTL cover if you haven't heard it. Was how I woke up every morning for years; absolutely phenomenal work.
