youtu.be/SeaUQo2TPX0 I can finally talk about this! I've been working on this project with @ink_thinks and @TheSmashBracket team for nearly a year and its been the best experience I've had on YouTube. I can't express my gratitude enough

This was the most "here bitch, damn" episode we've gotten in recent memory

@Daniel8aRs As I'd personally place Joker at finite levels. At best he has a universal feat. That'd be higher than 95% of JoJo's yes but not all. GER is at the top being stated to be so strong infinity pails in comparison. Likewise with it's speed while Joker is only several times lightspeed

@Daniel8aRs In P3R Joker can be hit by virus attacks and nothing he does can heal him. None of what you mentioned have anything to do with how Joker could possibly stop RTZ. In fact the very person RTZ was made to counter has an equivalent to 2 of those. I'd also argue GER is stronger 1/2

@Epex80 @Daniel8aRs Joker actually cannot. He's a boss in P3R and can be hit with virus attacks and he cannot heal from them. If the player character is hit by virus attacks they also can't heal them so it's not just a gameplay thing. There's more options he has but the virus thing is more blatent

@ObeseRob @Daniel8aRs Joker could cure that poison or virus with healing tbh

@rotiniscraZ Couldn't quite fit it into 1 reply so here's some screenshots

@ObeseRob @viking_gumball And idk if they really lowballed Giorno, they showed his entire arsenal while pretty much nerfing Joker by only giving him 4 personas and none of his mega busted ones like Satan or if they wanted to go even more overkill They could’ve brought up his Picaro personas

@rotiniscraZ @viking_gumball To be fair they lowballed Giorno even worse and the explanation for how Joker would get around RTZ just straight up wouldn't have worked.

@viking_gumball I enjoyed it, they definitely low balled the hell out of Joker but he still won so im happy anyway

@Daniel8aRs Well, Giorno did have several ways to take out Joker. An easy way would be to make a deadly virus which we know Joker has no resistance to and Giorno happens to know of a particularly strong one. Also I disagree that Joker could resist RTZ. They're pretty easy to disprove.

@KaniRamio37862 @viking_gumball Actually, Giorno had no way to even scratch Joker. Joker has so many resistances against RTZ

@viking_gumball Yeah, I have some issues with the fight itself but the big problem with the episode is the analysis/explanation. It really feels like they read a reddit post and decided "yup, that's good enough". Wether or not you agree with the results there was a lot wrong about the research

@KabooseD7 @mon_loch I don't know, quite a few people in the community looked fondly upon it and several shows including death battle gave a nod and salute to it as it ended. I can understand disagreeing with certain decisions but to say it had a bad reputation is just wrong.

@ObeseRob @mon_loch Too bad that the wider vs community has collectively agreed that Smash Bracket’s research is a complete joke and that it pretty much died with a whimper. A shame that statement of yours can’t fix its bad reputation.

Smash Bracket shows clear bias towards characters in favour of really stupid rules.

@KabooseD7 @mon_loch If it makes you feel any better Bayonetta was going to beat Corrin and later seasons would've had other fights where the FE character lost. We just severely underestimated the FE cast and put them up against characters we largely overestimated

@KabooseD7 @mon_loch Everyone claiming there was an FE bias has no idea how crazy FE really gets. Smash Bracket absolutely nerfed them as well. That said I don't fully agree with Byleth vs Palutena or MK vs Marth myself but I recognize those 2 just didn't fit the ruleset bracket attempted as well.

@JaysonV60691604 Tl;dr, Giorno isn't a persona character

I’m not super familiar with Kyle rayner, is the white lantern normally treated as an anime power up/transformation. Because that’s definitely what they seem to be doing

@ObeseRob @Jabron174 Thank god you don’t write the scripts GE is the physical manifestation of Giorno’s soul, the Stand Arrow was his “Treasure” that corrupted his palace Giorno, like all the palace rulers, don’t reveal their true, corrupted selves until their Treasure is revealed GER is RTZ

@JaysonV60691604 @Jabron174 Personally, I wouldn't. It doesn't make canonical sense for Giorno to have both/transform mid battle and everything GE can do GER can do better. In order for there to be any debate it'd have to be GER as well. GER is a lot more than RTZ and DB kinda just presented it as RTZ only

@ObeseRob @Jabron174 So then how would you have incorporated both Gold Experience and Requiem?

@thelevy555 Hot take, Fox vs Bucky. The original episode was filled with fan theories and smash moves. We need an actual episode covering star fox.

Which episode do you think urgently needs a rematch? Don't choose any episode from the Kickstarter.

@Sleepy_Sheeb Xenoblade Chronicles and Kingdom Hearts

Genuine question. Are there other franchises that don’t have a SINGLE bad game like Doom?

@Simp6942o This is a separate problem but the animation basically only let GER be an RTZ machine when it can do everything GE does. It'd be alleviated immediately if Giorno started with GER like he would've in canon. The jojo games do have GER be an install super, but that's for gameplay.

@Simp6942o Yeah I get that, but it takes me out of the fight seeing an anachronistic transformation. GER for example in the DB implies Giorno stopped mid fight with Diavolo to fight Joker (unless you go by the storyboards which is better but it was cut).

@SupergiantGames I still need to actually play it, but I've listened to paper boats hundreds of times

On this day 11 years ago, we launched our second game, Transistor. To everyone who experienced Red's journey through Cloudbank, thank you!!
