The Most Powerful Characters In Gaming Ever # 30

This series is all about video game characters who have left me in awe at their power, whether it's the ability to survive a boulder falling on their head, colossal earth-shattering strength, sheer dominance over the game they're in, etc.
Throughout the 30 episodes of The Most Powerful Characters In Gaming Ever, we've witnessed tremendous power from countless different sources: from humongous hit point totals to instant defeat attacks, to magic master dinosaurs and in the previous episode, defences that left even the toughest of final bosses envious.
But the most rarely seen stat has been brainpower, with it being the top strength of only one character featured so far. However, today, that changes as I talk about the most devious AI I've ever encountered in any video game...

"The Carbuncle ate itself." - An actual line of dialogue from Sonic Shuffle

[@MakusinMeringue]

Can I get some context, please?

[@SevenThirteen]

@@MakusinMeringue late response, I know, but in Sonic Shuffle, different gemstones, called Forcejewels, work as your items. Carbuncle is the name of one of them, which eats another item from you at random. If you have no other items, it will consume itself.

From what I can tell about Puyo lore, Carbuncle was the Devil's pet before he got bored and allowed Arle to liberate him. So I'm not surprised he has devilishly hard AI. Oh, and the act of creating Puyo chains and popping them recharges your MP in the Puyo universe, letting you cast spells. So not only is he a smart little bastard, he's charging up his Ultima or his Doombolts or his whatever spells to actually kill you with his intelligence too

[@jettlucashayes8508]

Remember this guy survived the death of the universe in the shin madou series

[@hiccupbro666]

@TARINunit9 That's not how it happened. In Madou 2, Arle discovered the legend of the jewel on Carbuncle’s forehead and when se encountered Satan and said this to him, he thought Arle was going to kill his pet, so they battled each other (Arle was bleeding from her eye in the PC98 version). After Arle’s victory, she found Carbuncle and their friendship began.

Raffine's had it rough. It's not just her PPF1 route having some of the toughest AI opponents, but she's also been pushed more and more to the sidelines as later Puyo games added more main characters that are more suited to the role than her in terms of personality. And as the games keep moving further and further away from the Fever world, Raffine will continue to have less things to do with the plot until she's finally benched alongside Lidelle. Oh, la-ti-da :(

Beating them is one of my biggest gaming achievements. :) Agree with you that Puyo Pop Fever is the best game in the series. Love how the characters are written and it's the best game to get into the series (With fever mode it's easier to recover from big attacks). Hope Sega will re-release this one and it's sequel sometime in the future considering how well the series is doing these last few years.

[@Mettyspaghetti]

[@nin10doadict]

Something about the AI in puzzle games tends to be very nasty at the highest levels. Take a look at how the Red Virus plays in Tetris & Dr. Mario for the SNES. It drops its capsules at maximum speed all the time, and pretty much never slows down unless there's no good place to put one. The AI in the Puzzle League games is no slouch at the highest levels either, though it's not perfect. Matches against Carbuncle kinda remind me of that: either you get the AI to screw up and lose within the first 30 seconds or you're in for a world of hurt. I think that Carbuncle might top these though, because the odds are stacked against you in Puyo Pop Fever (you have 5 colors on your board, he has only 4.)

[@rroadagain2810]

I always disliked that with the Puzzle League AI. You fight your way to the end, and then you either win immediately because they self-destructed, or you... don't. I want to be able to have a good, long fight there instead of lucking out dammit.

Go into free play mode first. Then on the character select screen, choose (!) for both you and the CPU to start the game. Once you started the match, quit and go back to the main screen. Then start a new game for harahara. You can now proceed to play the game as a randomly selected characters for each stage. This only affects Harahara and not the easy/normal modes Nothing much happens, except those randomly selected characters will have raffine's win quotes.

Oh god Carbuncle.... still have PTSD flashbacks of facing him in the DS version. I actually ended up doing a few two chains, then building a 3 chain and trying to time the drop for when his stack was just at the top of the screen to snipe kill him.

[@DoctorSpacebar]

...can I get THIS Carbuncle as a summon? Mass reflect is nice and all but *holy shit* Edit: Just like Rivals AC, you had to win by exploiting an AI flaw (putting a few garbage puyos in the middle of his combo)

[@Imirui]

I would argue Carbuncle’s strategy in Sun of repeatedly doing low chains is a better strategy than large ones. You get the game’s sun puyo for offsetting garbage while there’s some in your queue, so it maximizes the amount he can get. The sun puyos also increase damage, dealing more damage the later into the chain they’re cleared so it’s better for him to gain a backlog of sun puyos and then use them in his 1 chains to deal larger amounts of damage fast. Also I think part of the reason he’s so hard in Fever is that you play with 5 colors and he plays with 4. Yes really. In Sun you played with 5 and he played with 3.

[@Hugelag]

Jeez! I can understand Sun's conditions for fighting Carbuncle, but what's up with Fever's? 7:41 is like some kind of ritual or something. There's no way to fight him by mistake. You know what you're doing, and bringing him to our dimension to defeat him once and for all.

There's been a lot of testing in the Starcraft community lately about Alphastar, a new AI who can compete at professional levels. While previous AI players had to be augmented by giving them unfair advantages like extra resources, this one wins legitimately with terrific micromanagement of individual units. I don't know if Carbuncle can be considered the same since he either predicts what pieces he'll get ahead of time or much like AI in many Yu Gi Oh games, will always get the Puyo/card they want. Or maybe they were just trying to emulate the animes that way. If you can, try playing Tetris Attack's story mode. Partway through, it throws you into a 'hopeless boss fight' against Bowser with a 'perfect' AI meant to humble you, but I've always wanted to see someone beat it (not sure if difficulty setting affects it, Very Hard mode is tough enough with the fights you're supposed to win).

Carbuncle makes me want to throw it down the stairs, hit it with an HP attack, then use a better Carbuncle to reduce its Bravery to 0 before my Bravery starts recovering.

Geez, Dark Link's a pushover compared to Carbuncle.

[@FukuritaMariko]
