The Most Powerful Characters In Gaming Ever # 13

This series is all about characters in video games who's frightening levels of power in whatever way have left me in complete awe, be it a massive amount of Hit Points, colossal earth-shattering strength, the ability to survive a large boulder landing on their head, etc.
In the thirteenth episode, we take a look at the coolest guy named Ash ever. (Sorry, Ketchum)

[@UltimaDoombotMK1]

Vandalier Ash just whacked Kane's self esteem into the negatives with that back attack.

[@ES21007]

With a wordless cry, Ash plunges the Vandal Heart into the body of his hated enemy. Kane screams in agony as the light of the Vandelier slowly destroys his body, cleansing it of the darkness holding it together dissolving it into nothing. "ASH!" he screams, his face half dissolved and breaking down even more. "I HATE YOU! YOU DESTROYED EVERYTHING I LOVE! I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU... IN THE GATES OF HELL!" With a final cry that echoes through the battlefield, the mad Kane finally disappears from this world, his body dissolving into nothing. Ash stares at the empty space where his rival once stood, the fact that he finally ended the life of the crazed murderer that was once his comrade not giving him an ounce of satisfaction. "I didn't destroy anything you loved Kane," Ash says softly, a small hint of pity and sadness overtaking him. "You did."

[@XTApocalypse]

Have you, by chance, heard of... Danger Mario? It's a loadout in Paper Mario 1 and 2 that lowers Mario's Max HP to 5 (using Chet Rippo) and equips him with several badges that power him up while in Danger (5HP or less), making him nigh invincible. 1 had a limited number of badges, but in Thousand-Year Door, you could get pretty ridiculous. The max BP you could get in the game was 99. By playing at the Pianta Parlor, you could get an infinite number of Power Rush badges, which each cost 1BP and raise Mario's attack by 2 while in danger. This means, with 99 of these badges equipped to Danger Mario with the Ultra Boots, his jump attack deals 201 damage per hit, for a total of 402. His hammer attack will deal 204 damage. Of course, if you do that, Mario still has 5HP and is functionally a glass cannon. That's where evasion badges come in. One Close Call badge, and Mario's chances of being hit fall to 50%. Two, and it's 33%. Three make 25%, and so on and so forth. Pretty Lucky badges do the same for 1BP more, and those can be stolen from enemies in infinite supply (I'm not sure if Close Call can). With enough of these badges on, though, Mario becomes almost impossible for enemies to make contact with him. AND, on the off chance that they do, the Last Stand badges drop Mario's damage taken by half while in danger. Same formula--two of these badges make him take 1/3 the damage, three 1/4, etc. That 204 attack damage is enough to one-shot even Bonetail, the most powerful superboss in the game. A little unnecessary. All it takes is maybe five each of Close Call and Last Stand to make Mario nigh invincible, even with 5HP (almost all attacks will deal 1HP), leaving a maximum of 89 Power Rushes for a jump attack damage of 181 x 2, or 362 total. Still enough to KO the Shadow Queen... TWICE. Replace some of those with some Happy Hearts and any slight damage done to Mario will be restored almost immediately. And for the coup de grace, use Power Bounce to get even more jumps in. Let's look at our final loadout. 82 Power Rushes, 5 Close Calls, 5 Last Stands, 2 Happy Hearts, and 1 Power Bounce. Mario's first Power Bounce (or regular jump attack) still deals 167 damage, still enough to KO the Shadow Queen in one bounce and enough to KO Bonetail with a regular two-hit jump attack. The second Power Bounce will deal 166, then 165, 164, and so on, resulting in THOUSANDS of points of damage in a game where most enemies have about 10HP. Enemies only have a 1-in-6 chance of hitting Mario, and any attack with an attack power of less than 9 will only do 1HP in damage anyway. 9+ power attacks will deal 2 damage. All of this damage will be fixed within a turn after it's dealt, making Mario effectively immortal. If that's not overkill, then I don't know what is. I would quite enjoy seeing this in video form, fellow Paper Mario enthusiast.

[@whoisthisgit]

Sorry for the late reply. I've never tried Danger Mario before, but it sounds like a lot of fun t do. I might cover it some day.

[@dmas7749]

whoisthisgit 10:33 Sorry to be a math geek, but it's *only* 55 more HP, not 65. That danger Mario thing sounds pretty cool. Also, from looking at the comments section, any plans to do any Disgaea videos? If so I will watch them when released, but you don't have to if you don't want to. Either way is fine.

[@XTApocalypse]

***** He's not unbeatable; it's just very unlikely, and can only happen during the scripted period where you can't damage the Shadow Queen. He's basically invincible against any other enemy, presuming he attacks first.

[@dmas7749]

I think my personal load would be 9 Last Stand, 5 Close Call, maybe a few others since I've never played Paper Mario, and 80 Power Rush.

[@Sephiroth08150]

23:00 It is possible that in the data, there are only spells : The ones you can learn the classic way, the enemy-reserved one and of course, those that will be binded to items. And to be respectful of "items doesn't use MP to cast", they cost zero MP to use. So when you tell the program to give someone access to all spells in the game, it won't discriminate. Maybe they didn't expect the program to run that way?

[@draven205]

Ash Vandelier versus Baal would be a good match.....The problem is you have to reincartnate alot of times at level 9999 in disaega d2 and then get to it again to be able to even match baal, AND for somereason, Baal can attack you right as you spawn, Its unfair if your gonna try to beat him at a low level, And hes max level all the time, Most rpgs have a certain 999 or 100 level limit, But since Ash at this form can cast ANY item and ANY spell including that devastating Plasma Wave it could be either winning, They both have advantages.

Well, 16-bit block just has a lot of defense. Ash here has a lot of attack *and* defense. Then again, 16-bit block has 65536 HP. So I think they're both around the same power. However, Ash is definitely more broken as he can go from 1 HP and no MP to full of both in a single turn.

My god that is that most beautiful thing I have ever seen, srpg's can be seriously frustrating sometimes something like that is just too awesome

[@SirDavid290]

Yeah, even Final Fantasy Tactics does have these frustrating moments.

[@weaponsofsalvation]

When you said that the strongest character in an SRPG tends to be the main character, does the Avatar from some of the Fire Emblem games count? Due to how you can set the Avatar's main stat and flaw stat, it's very easy to make a stupidly powerful unit at the start of the game. My Tactician in Awakening is BEYOND overpowered; her raw Magic and Strength pretty much allow her to 1-shot just about ANYthing, and she only gets hit very rarely. And it gets better with Robin's child character, Morgan; s/he will inherit ALL of Robin's skills, is very easy to recruit, and more. And by having Robin marry Chrom, Morgan ALSO learned Rightful King, which increases the activation of skills by 10%. Ignis has a chance of adding half of the Str or Mag values to the other (1/2 Str to Mag, 1/2 Mag to Str) and it's activation is %= Skill stat. Ignis is pretty much a near guaranteed kill, and if by chance the enemy DOES survive, they won't be standing for long. Morgan's skill: 29 Ignis activation chance: 29% Rightful King: +10% Chance Ignis activation chance: 39% Put Morgan with Nah, his Rank S support (in my run, anyway) and it's +6 skill stat. Ignis activation chance: 45% Sorry if I went on a rant, but I was just pointing something out.

[@whoisthisgit]

Yes, the avatar definitely counts, in fact, I'd argue he/she is a bit too powerful. I finished the game on Lunatic, Classic without any side help, (No Spotpass teams, no renown rewards, etc.) and by the end of the game, the only characters I were using were the (female) avatar, Morgan, Chrom, Lucina and Olivia. The avatar and Morgan practically did all the work, I only built Chrom and Lucina's levels because I needed them for the last boss, and Olivia's dance just made the avatar and Morgan devastate the enemies even quicker. As powerful as Vandalier Ash is, you can only use him at the end of the game, and only if you take part in a difficult sidequest. (I wish there was a New Game+ mode where Ash started the game as a Vandalier)

[@weaponsofsalvation]

Holy shit man, that's impressive. :D Also, this may have been said, but IMO, I think that Elizabeth (Persona 3) and the Demi-Fiend (DDS boss version) are perfect candidates for either this series or Boss Analysis. Again, just my opinion.

[@Metahodos]

Spotpass teams aren't helping much, since on Lunatic they only give 1 EXP per kill. Also, you could marry a first-gen char to have two Morgans. Not like two Grandmasters weren't broken enough. That reminds me. Did you use Anna's shops and weapon bonus tiles? 'Cause I'm about to finish a similar run (second to last chapter), but was unable to beat Tiki paralogue when it first unlocked without upgraded as hell Brave Bow from secret seller. And those things are considered unfair, just as Bosus Box and DLCs.

[@whoisthisgit]

Kajuker I think I did, but I probably could have beaten it without them. The way I saw it, it was fine to use anything that would've have been available from a first-time playthrough, and without any features that were gradually added online for a few months after the game's release. (I was also able to beat a few of the random Risen and got a ton of extra EXP from it, but they're so powerful on Lunatic mode, I think it was well deserved)

[@Metahodos]

whoisthisgit Dunno about Risen encounters though. I managed to beat a Barbarian one on map with forts (Ch. 3 map) as early as chapter 6, with only Robin and A-support Chrom. You break a lot of weapons there, true, but you also earn some invaluable exp. points. Not to mention, that before completing Chapter 4, those guys are quite manageable, without crazy endgame levels and forged weapons.

[@Prinygod]

I'm pretty sure you can keep replaying the trials if you don't get the prism, in fact its the only way you can grind. However as I recall you get next to no xp and only 10 gold for each enemy in the trial, so you will want to use healing spells and items if you want to level in any reasonable time, they give xp each time. Also the game isn't hard so you probably shouldn't grind.

I loved Vandal Hearts, but then again because the enemies' levels were scaled to only Ash's, you could at one specific level overpower the game immensely, to where one specific fight where you're meant to escape rather than directly fight the bad guys could be dealt with through actual combat. Love whenever people acknowledge Vandal Hearts in any capacity.

Yep. Ash is the most OP character in gaming. No questions.

[@Krelian89]

I played thid game sience the original release date and probably beat this game 3 or 4 times untill i knew vandalier class existed, then back in 2003 or 2004 i found a text file in the internet that explained were to get the keys for that class, doing the secret dungeons and getting the prism was not an easy task even as an experience VH player.

[@_Tzer]

Check out the ridiculous combos you can do in jimmy and the pulsating mass.. it's... horrifying how good math is in rpgs.

[@k1zm3t]

17:50 vandal hearts predicted that cn show about unikitty not clickbait?? :0 ((the main villain, master frown, is a doom lord))

[@justahat9544]

Vandalier Ash's insane offence and defense in a tactics game reminds me of Cidolfus Orlandeau from Final Fantasy Tactics.

[@blushingstar1342]

Your videos are so cool... I love to watch them when im bored :D

[@SteelCrustacean]

Same.

[@Jchmcom]

Darius was the fucking Achilles Heel of the game. That dude had the HP and Def of a mouse. Most of the time I just put him somewhere safe and hidden so he wouldnt die and take my gold with him at the end of the battles.

[@psb9001]

I discovered the Vandalier on my own back in high school when I was crazy about the game. Ever since, I've been praying for a Gameshark code to let me play as him from the beginning of the game. I'll buy a pizza for the man who hacks that code.

[@Bobsican]

You can always look up something like "Vandal Hearths AR cheat codes"

[@hartantoanggoro]

The reason why all spell available? He turn into a God in the story or Developer team just wanted to congratulate all player who got the troublesome Vandalier job

[@davimag2071]

Loved your video about Vandal Hearts's levels then I found this one too :D It's amazing the similarities and differences about the Vandal Hearts in the First and the second game (my favorite SRPG ever!). In Vandal Hearts 2, you need to get the 7 Prisms as well, however here they're just buried around the world, you don't pass through a trial (but need to pass through really annoying secret battles! hahaha), also the lore for Vandal Hearts (the sword) is different, here it was created by St Nirvath, the messiah of Vandal Hearts 2, and so you need to get all the 7 prisms in order to open Nirvath's gate and receive the Vandal Hearts. Sadly the Vh sword isn't all that powerful here compared to Vandalier Ash :( The producers really tried to make things more difficult and assure that you won't have a 1 hit kill character around hahahah cx.

[@davimag2071]

Just checked now, the Vandal Hearts attacking value in the second game is 135, Ash has a more powerful sword hahahah (poor Joshua!).

[@hydrocephalus2571]

Wait, did I catch a Ren and Stimpy reference in this video?

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY, HAPPY HAPPY JOY.

[@animatepokemonadventures7889]

I don’t think that the vandalier Armor looks strange. In fact, I think it makes him look like one of the Ra’s disciples, or just a set of Armor that looks like the winged dragon of ra.

[@tancredipaonessa6102]

THE LEGGENDARY CHICKEN MAN

[@mr.spielefreak7075]

In the tumbnail, Ash looks like a guy with a tiny face

[@harrydrake4173]

I prefer to keep Ash as a Paragon, since the Vandalier is so broken 😆

[@_Tzer]

To me it doesnt look like a chicken suit it looks like armor made of stars from space.

[@useless1]

i always thought dolf was a woman... i cant believe it

[@cooperproductions3731]

*I REJECT MY HUMANITY, ASH!*

[@charaznableplays2110]

Kane: *WRYYYYYYYYYYYYY*

[@giornogiovanna3477]

I First thought ash in the thumbnail was some sort of secret boss from Streets of Rage series

[@whirlwind6141]

Great video here! I appreciate all the time that went into making the different scenarios of each attack with the Vandalier. Nice ending too by the way - always wondered how that would look.

[@coreflakes]

wait till ash discovers what death holes are in platformers

[@katashiakia6763]

Ok if we assume that the powers of the chicken suit are as follows -Unlimited MP -Access to all spells/abilities within the source game -Unlimited items -Stats equivalent to all the upsides of all other ingame armor -Power levels comparable to a heavily overleveled character What character would be strongest if they could wield it?

[@reapers_scyth3181]

I did the math on how often Vandalier Ash will block using how many times he blocked and didn't block during Git's playthrough of Chapter 6 as shown in this video; (26 / 100 = 0.26 20 blocks / 0.26 = 76.9) Ash can block attacks 3/4 of the time. Damn.

[@hylogibbon]

Weird math. I just do 100(20/26)=76.92%

[@robovhull]

I remember the trials and I missed a key but still completed the game. I had to redo the game to see this version of ash and I wasn't disappointed lol

[@mifkokater6553]

Hahaha let's not forget the endgame battle "tactics" once you get Ash to a Vandalier: Plasma wave, life orb, plasma wave, life orb...oh I guess I didn't need to move a single character to win this one, sorry Dolph, did that hurt?

[@DARS_04]

Should I play this game on PlayStation or Saturn? Emulation for PS1 is fairly easy, but for Saturn it's kinda messy. This one looks fun.

[@Dreinack]

i did on ps1 and works perfectly

[@juma315]

I'll always respect this channel, Vandal Hearts are for strong hearts.

[@francivalpereira9516]

Damn, how amazing! I played this game when I was a kid, I'm 35 now. I was listening to the OST and I came across this video and this finding about Ash overpower. Hahaha, amazing! Thanks!

[@jacktangent]

I think you should do an episode of TMPCiGE on Greygnarl (Grotto battle) from Dragon Quest IX. He can attack three times in a turn (with the regular being 1) and has 7400 HP, higher than the final boss and the final DLC Quest boss! He has the ability Youthful Energy, which raises his 478 attack (the highest in the game) even higher! Every time he uses Youthful Energy, he then uses the attack Magic Burst dealing a massive 250 damage to ALL of your team - with an increased buff in his MP. He is completely resistant to nearly all of the status effects, a list below - Illusion Sleep Death Drain MP Confusion Silence Paralyze Poison Despite this, he is worth defeating, as he has a chance to drop Dragonlord's map (one of the most valuable grotto maps in the game) - and a massive 80,000 EXP.

[@DarkusRelling]

If Cream & Cheese had super forms. 'Nuff said.

[@wyattpeek429]

Darkus Relling the eggman empire will fall because of that

[@Taterzz]

i remember using the old trick to max level huxley and the other caster chick. and then got ash vandalier and made him give huxley an herb or other item. lv50 vandalier is so broken i didn't even realize i could cast items. plasma wave all day.

[@stephengill4049]

Tabletops wouldn't be tabletops without ash,Clint,Diego and grog

[@stephengill4049]

Don't forget the blood spurt

[@domicraft6341]

Thanks for showing me this game ^^ Even though I have to say these examining of Squares seems very random but it is an old Game and I think Not so necessary for Ash than Lex' Brave Axe of FE4 for example. Also if you're looking for another great SRPG I highly recommend you "Stella Glow" for the 3DS. It has a great Story but can be a bit slow in the beginning. But you should definitly check it out.
