The Car move is what got me into JoJo in the first place. Seeing a belly dancer summon the front half of a car from the ground is some of the weirdest shit I've ever seen
Capcom: This roster is a total sausagefest. We can't just have Mariah. Who do we have? Intern: Uh, there is this girl that gets knocked out Capcom: BRILLIANT! Add her in now
Lisa Lisa was right there, too. I know that they mainly focused on part 3 characters but she would've been worth making an exception for (especially since young Joseph is in the game and they at least had concepts for the Pillar men and Stroheim to appear). Heck, they could've gone nuts and made Holly playable. Unlike what people think, the story never actually said that she was too weak to handle her stand. She just couldn't handle Dio controlling/killing her through her stand. Once he was gone, her stand was still there. We just don't know if she can use it now since we only see her for like 3 panels after his death. But they could've taken creative liberties and made her a moveset with what would happen if she could control it. Obviously, the challenge would've been to give them a story mode that makes sense for them (which would've been hard since Lisa Lisa was almost 100 in part 3 and you can't put Holly in any event before Dio's death) but with some elbow grease they could've made it work, potentially in "what if" scenarios.
I'd be down for some Darkstalkers/Vampire character breakdowns. Most of the roster tends to be forgotten but they're all filled with so much personality and there's a great balance to it's dark humor. I also want to know who was the genius who gave Midler the cars it's a fantastic addition to her movepool that as far as I can tell wasn't from the manga.
I agree on that Darkstalkers point, their characters are sick as hell and exposing people to more of their quirks and gameplay. We rarely, if ever, get to see the other characters in that game outside of Morrigan and Felicia in capcom's stuff.
@@JusticeRuiSame, though the sadistic part of me wants in part just to have a video on how bad Morrigan is in her own game. (Ditto poor Anakaris, who is actually worthy of sympathy as much as I don't hate non-UMvC3 Morrigan.) It would also just be nice to be able see a version of Hsien-Ko who actually functions.
@frappompi True. I was thinking of Lilith I suppose, who is technically also Morrigan except actually bad/even worse--gods Gloomy Puppet Show is so bad. Still it's pretty funny how middling _Vampire Savior_ Morrigan is, if only both due to her now being the surviving poster child of the unfortunately forsaken series and due to how oppressive her absurdly top tier Goddess of Fireballs her _UMvC3_ self is. (At least I rather like the performance of the Scottish voice actress who voices her in _MvC3_ I guess since that's basically *the only* compensation for having to fight her, her again, and a million Doom missiles featuring Vergil from _Devil May Cry_ . And man it is really limited compensation given all the bullshit she has even just by herself.)
@@MusicoftheDamned Anakaris is why I developed such a hatred for "universal mechanics" not working/not existing on characters and people claiming it adds depth and is part of nuanced balancing. Nah, F that. Everyone gets a same defense tech or F off
So in a weird way. Midler is the Shoto of Heritage....? A kind of all rounder character with a nice learning curve to pick up the game's basics with. Which makes me giggle, because OFC a Jojo FG would have the "simple" character summoning cars XD Sidenote: Honestly, i am open to watching pretty much any kind of fighting game related breakdown stuff you are interested in making. I am an SF6 baby. Casual all the way. These older games have way too much grime and sharp edges for me to enjoy playing them. But im always interested in someone going into excruciating detail about a thing they enjoy talking about. And you have a good skill of talking interestingly about some pretty dry topics like frame data. Because you always tie them back to the core tactics and the goals. Imo, P4 Ultimax would 100% be a very good starting point.
The "Shoto" of this game might be Avdol, he has a little bit of everything. An active stand, simple fireball, simple DP, standard grab, really good sweep...
knowing the fact the devs wanted to make this roster huge still blows my mind to this day because we still have Death 13 and unused characters data still found in the game of some others than design documents with the Pillar man. Capcom really loved Jojo's so much. It is funny they used that pose for Midler from yukiko from part 4. Its a good pose I find it funny how similar they actually look in later art. I do always love hearing when the game devs actually get the Creator to pitch in for them to help bring a character we never truly see to life. I would love to know what Araki thinks about this now after so many years...I wonder if we will ever see Midler again ever in any future jojo all star game or (IF POWERS THAT BE) Capcom gets another crack at a Jojo game they get to make the dream roster they wanted for this game yall those years ago and more now.
In a better timeline it would have been the start of a long running fighting game series that may even have turned into that Jump crossover fighting series that should exist but for some reason doesn't.
I find it really funny how, when I asked about the Midler video, I said Midler might "not be interesting enough to warrant a full video" and then in the first minute of the video, MrMixtape says: "I think she's one of the most interesting characters in the game."
The funniest part about Midler to me is that it would make so much more sense for her to have a move where she drops a steamroller on you than any other Jojo character but that’s like the one thing she doesn’t manifest.
I would love to see vampire savior videos! not enough people discuss about its character and mechanics, and this format would do wonders, but also wanted to say these videos are always great, so anything you decide to do, will be awesome content either way
I will absolutely watch more single character breakdowns for aaaaaaany game you wanna talk about. Glad I found this channel in the middle of watching JoJo’s, your presentation style is right up my alley.
I love these videos, man. They've really grown on me. Specific fighting game deep dives are my new shit. Can't wait to see where you go post HFTF. Maybe ASBR? lol
One thing about Midler for me is the mouth super. I literally have to close my eyes for it, watching someone get chewed up and spit out grosses me out to a degree I've never felt before, or have since.
I'd love to see you breaking down characters in other older fighting games. These videos are both a ton of fun to watch as well as legitimately good introductory tools.
This style of video for other games is always nice. I just like hearing people talking about fighting game characters they like, even if I know about them, cause maybe I learn something I didn't know before.
Now that it's all done, thank you for your deep dive into what got me into Jojos oh so long ago. Funny thing is, despite counting fighting games as a lifelong hobby, the mid 00s were when I explored new games the least just sticking to what I knew, so all this funky game did for me at the time was introduce me to a cool manga. Glad to have an expose on all the ins and outs of the roster now if I want to be a latecomer, though Strive, GBFVSR, and SF6 are keeping me occupied enough atm. You mentioned potentially doing Vampire Saviors as something you might talk about and if so I always appreciate someone talking about my girl Buletta Hood. But feel free to do whatever. Those completely unexpected vids on Punk's Evo journey and the history of Dan were both nice!
I would love if you did these kinds of videos for more fighting games. I'm not sure if this is intentional on your part but these videos hit a particular balance of being perfect for the kind of people who know their FG stuff but aren't competitive. so many fighting game breakdown/guide videos are either for beginners or people getting into competitive so it's really nice to have someone out there making these well done videos for the players in the middle ground
Hey there! I've been watching these from the start, and I've really enjoyed everything you put out around a game that's quickly become one of my favorites. These videos always get put on as soon as I see them on my dashboard, and I'm always a huge fan of seeing your content grow and change over the last... wow, year or so. Thanks for putting these out and for getting me into a game I wouldn't have touched beforehand, and I'm looking forward to the future of you, your channel, and these types of videos. Thank you!
She's also my favorite character in HftF. It feels great to see we have similar taste! I just don't know to put it into words, but something about her moves make her extremally fun to play with.
As a p4au enjoyer, I'd love to see this video style cover junpei, elizabeth, aigis, naoto, adachi, I don't even play them, personas just loaded with fascinating weirdos!
Been following you since your HFTF top tiers video. I dont even play the game but it was so great to listen to you talking so passionnately about every character's design. Thank you so much for these videos !
Not sure if someone suggested her already, but ABA from +R is super interesting, You basically have to manage 2 modes with the first one being more defensive and slow, and the second having crazy damage that also hurts her
Fellow Noel fan! Nice~ Funnily, I had been waiting for this video as well. Even though I don't have any plans to play HTTF, I really enjoy your videos about the game and wanted to know more about Midler in particular as well. Thanks so much for this series!
You're extremely cool!! Thank you so much for this video, and I love how heartfelt your message at the end is--you're an amazing channel, thank you for all that you've made
Big fan of the series, made me really appreciate the roster of this game, seeing one done for a vsav character would be awesome. A video on Sasquatch is something I always wanted to attempt myself but there's so much to go into with anyone.
While I haven't played a lot of HTFT, Midler is one of the characters that I want to learn given I love the kit she has and her design is sooooo coool. She looks like a nomad fortune teller which is super in-line with Part 3. Also she has some sick alternate colors :)
Tackling vsav would be so much fun, a great thing that both jojo's and vampire share is such a wonderful richness in both character animations and move lists, even as some one who kinda sucks at the game, i don't even care, i just love seeing the characters in action. Also any love aimed towards is deeply appreciated.
Midler is easily my favorite character in the game... not counting Mariah. Of course, Mariah is the best waifu after all :) Midler's rapid movement and the way her gameplay flows unlike anything else in this game is what attracts me to this character so much. The only other character with this sort of movement I can think of is Chaka and he's almost equally as fun as Midler is to play. I love characters that can control space, have a lot of zoning tools but also are quite effective while dealing with the opponent up close, and Midler does all of these things very well. I think her greatest weakness is just how predictable she can feel while you fight against her. While her tools are good, she doesn't really have anything that would make her feel "broken" like a lot of top tiers do (despite having A LOT OF JANK abilities) and her approach is very easily beaten by Guard Cancels. This ultimately results in a lot of top Midler players refusing to challenge the opponents up close and pretty much keep their distance the entire game, trying to run away, zone with cars and try to keep the life lead, which is a real shame considering how fast she can move around and dash into the opponent's face. She has a lot of untapped potential, strong corner combos, one of the best supers in the game. She can be EXTREMELY ANNOYING with cars and tick grabs and the fact she has not one but two potential cross ups in j.A and j.B really makes her stand out from the rest of the cast. A few fun Midler facts: - Midler's grab has a fun quirk where some characters will have an active hurtbox at the end of her grab. This allows you to OTG them in the corner, sometimes for a full damage combo! All links after the grab are 1f so they're pretty hard to land, but the reward can be quite significant in matchups that this works in. - If you tap the jump button at the start of Midler's Stand On dash she and her stand will desync, allowing Midler to walk midair. This is one of the very few glitches that are actually tournament banned as it technically enables her to escape the confines of the game, though considering how difficult it is to input, I highly doubt anyone would be able to do even two or three of these in a row. - s.6C and s.4C can be walk cancelled which occassionally can give Midler enough plus frames to link other normals after them and extend her Stand On combos. It's sadly very matchup and spacing specific. Sawblades are very fun to try doing combo extensions with. I will forever love Heritage for the Future. It is the most fun fighting game I have ever gotten to play. While I don't play as much anymore, I still love seeing people talk about it and discuss new strategies and gameplans. I still find it incredible that even in 2024 people still find new things about this game too. Thank you for making these videos MrMixtape, I loved each one of them and I'm looking forward to you covering more fighting game characters in the future.
My summary: goofy ahh character 24:44 Yoo, I LOVE P4AU! You and that game got me into fighting games. My favorite character ever is Shabrys even though she's so hard to play
Love this series and your vids in general and cant wait to see what we will have next, if youll end up doing the P4 arena ultimax vids id be super happy to watch those, but also vampire savior would be very cool, but personally if i had to pick a game id like you to do this sort of character format in, it would be xrd and its characters not only in the final rev 2 iteration, but also their history on how they were altered from the older games, i just believe some xrd content from you would be the best thing ever, and if you actually will end up doing so dont hesitate to ask anythin about bedman if the time will arrive Amazing vid as always, keep up the good work man
Hell yeah for the Mid queen; very nice vid. Frankly, all your HFTF vids have been wonderful to watch; very chill and also quite comprehensive vids to watch and relax with while still intently watching them. Look forward to what you decide to do later; Vampire Saviour/Darkstalkers would be very cool to see or perhaps Blazblue if you have any interest in the series.
Oh man, awesome to see you finally reach the end of this journey! I always wanted to get into this game but know none of my friends would play it with me! Anyway I have ALWAYS wanted to know more about Persona4AU and I can’t think of a better person to teach us! But whatever you do man, I’ll keep on supporting you!
You liking Midler and Parasoul makes a ton of sense. Everyone nowadays wants either the rushdown, zoner, or shoto, but there is no love for a character that can control the screen and neutral forcing the opponent to take different approach routes they're not used to.
I would absolutely love to see this single-character overview style for P4AU2. Especially with how you have one core set of tools across two characters for a lot of the cast, but with different approaches to gameplay, with the Shadows. Plus, it feels like P4AU2 overviews aren't really a thing rn since the game is pretty niche unfortunately
ppl have already mentioned vsav a lot and that'd be rlly cool, but alpha 2 woudl also be a fun one to do videos on also AYY someone who also respects midler! she's rlly fun imo
For a somewhat obscure fighting game suggestion, Asuka 120% LimitOver Burning Fest. Is a super fun fighting game! It has clashes, wall bounces, fully controllable jumps, etc. Some people consider it to be one of the first anime fighters. You can even build your super meter to 120% so that you can use supers freely for a short time.
I suddenly was reminded of the Fist of the North Star fighting game, actually. It also is a game full of love for the original source material, some notable examples being a suicide super, a super where the opponent has to say the characters' name correctly, it's so charming honestly. Of course, the most infamous aspect of the game is the "dribble combos" where ArcSys tried to limit long combos by increasing the characters' falling speed as the combo count increased, but the developers didn't realize the increased falling speed also increased the bounce height. The end result is infinites. Infinites everywhere.
It's kinda funny that Capcom preferred to put Lisa Lisa in Street Fighter in the form of Rose over putting her in an actual JoJo game, but then went though all this effort for a character who appears in all of one panel.
Thanks for breaking down so many of these characters. This game was fun to mash in on emulator back in the day so it was cool to see what they can actually do haha P4U is pretty neat! I personally prefer P4A but I think that's just because it took us so long to get Ultimax in the States that I had moved on lmao
my vote is for darkstalkers/vampire savior content, as with (much, much, a whole bunch more than any one channel could provide) more attention might shame capcom into actually doing literally anything with the property.
The car special reminds me of the explosion one Frieza has in fighter Z. Both are zoners, both have that special, both are kinda weird. I wouldn't be surprised if she inspired Arcsys' Frieza design.
I’ve watched and enjoyed all of your Jojo videos, I think you have a great presentation style. If you were interested in branching out, an out there idea might be breaking down a character or two from the touhou fighters. Either Soku for something relatively traditional, or AoCF as a game that’s a bit more out there.
seeing top 5 fighting game characters and seeing nanase and noel there was a slap to the face because those are both in my top 3 LOL i would also love to see persona videos, those characters are absolutely insane especially naoto and shab
Didn't get to bring this up in the video but she also has the best colors in the game.
Enjoy!
The Car move is what got me into JoJo in the first place. Seeing a belly dancer summon the front half of a car from the ground is some of the weirdest shit I've ever seen
Ngl same for me
I'm pretty sure a clip of this character was like one of the first times I've ever seen JoJo let alone this game.
half a car? simpleflips reference?
@@input-latency2684It’s bonus!
I guess you could say such a sight be pretty... _Bizarre?_

One of my favorite comments about Midler was "THIS CAR CHICK IS SO ANNOYING"
Capcom: This roster is a total sausagefest. We can't just have Mariah. Who do we have?
Intern: Uh, there is this girl that gets knocked out
Capcom: BRILLIANT! Add her in now
Lisa Lisa was right there, too. I know that they mainly focused on part 3 characters but she would've been worth making an exception for (especially since young Joseph is in the game and they at least had concepts for the Pillar men and Stroheim to appear).

They could've also done Enya but I guess hags aren't exactly waifu material
@@mrtable2861Lisa Lisa is easy too, just copy Rose from street fighter. She’s inspired by her anyway
What's funny is that Mariah wasn't in Venture.
At last we reached the best character of them all:
*MID*

The only other character with this sort of movement I can think of is Chaka and he's almost equally as fun as Midler is to play. I love characters that can control space, have a lot of zoning tools but also are quite effective while dealing with the opponent up close, and Midler does all of these things very well. I think her greatest weakness is just how predictable she can feel while you fight against her. While her tools are good, she doesn't really have anything that would make her feel "broken" like a lot of top tiers do (despite having A LOT OF JANK abilities) and her approach is very easily beaten by Guard Cancels. This ultimately results in a lot of top Midler players refusing to challenge the opponents up close and pretty much keep their distance the entire game, trying to run away, zone with cars and try to keep the life lead, which is a real shame considering how fast she can move around and dash into the opponent's face. She has a lot of untapped potential, strong corner combos, one of the best supers in the game. She can be EXTREMELY ANNOYING with cars and tick grabs and the fact she has not one but two potential cross ups in j.A and j.B really makes her stand out from the rest of the cast.
A few fun Midler facts:
- Midler's grab has a fun quirk where some characters will have an active hurtbox at the end of her grab. This allows you to OTG them in the corner, sometimes for a full damage combo! All links after the grab are 1f so they're pretty hard to land, but the reward can be quite significant in matchups that this works in.
- If you tap the jump button at the start of Midler's Stand On dash she and her stand will desync, allowing Midler to walk midair. This is one of the very few glitches that are actually tournament banned as it technically enables her to escape the confines of the game, though considering how difficult it is to input, I highly doubt anyone would be able to do even two or three of these in a row.
- s.6C and s.4C can be walk cancelled which occassionally can give Midler enough plus frames to link other normals after them and extend her Stand On combos. It's sadly very matchup and spacing specific. Sawblades are very fun to try doing combo extensions with.
I will forever love Heritage for the Future. It is the most fun fighting game I have ever gotten to play. While I don't play as much anymore, I still love seeing people talk about it and discuss new strategies and gameplans. I still find it incredible that even in 2024 people still find new things about this game too. Thank you for making these videos MrMixtape, I loved each one of them and I'm looking forward to you covering more fighting game characters in the future.

I love her little laughing animation, she’s so silly :)
You gotta give us some Hisoutensoku man
That said, more JoJo is always appreciated, and I'd eat up any P4A content as well
Holy shit Guitar vs Piano.
Core memory unlocked lol.
A HFTF a day keeps all the bad thoughts away
“Midler” is actually a misnomer. The correct name would be Peakler
background noise while I practice my 2P side electrics and wait for my custom AFS crossup to be made
Very solid videos man.
My summary: goofy ahh character
24:44 Yoo, I LOVE P4AU! You and that game got me into fighting games. My favorite character ever is Shabrys even though she's so hard to play
I love david pro went out of thier way to not use the milder's redesign for reasons I don’t know why.
Love this series and your vids in general and cant wait to see what we will have next, if youll end up doing the P4 arena ultimax vids id be super happy to watch those, but also vampire savior would be very cool, but personally if i had to pick a game id like you to do this sort of character format in, it would be xrd and its characters not only in the final rev 2 iteration, but also their history on how they were altered from the older games, i just believe some xrd content from you would be the best thing ever, and if you actually will end up doing so
dont hesitate to ask anythin about bedman if the time will arrive
Amazing vid as always, keep up the good work man
thanks for this series!! i think we got into the game around the same time, but ive been gone for a while. i main midler too
I’ve been waiting for this one!
Hell yeah for the Mid queen; very nice vid. Frankly, all your HFTF vids have been wonderful to watch; very chill and also quite comprehensive vids to watch and relax with while still intently watching them. Look forward to what you decide to do later; Vampire Saviour/Darkstalkers would be very cool to see or perhaps Blazblue if you have any interest in the series.
24:44 a similar series analyzing every Vampire Savior character would be highly appreciated!
Oh man, awesome to see you finally reach the end of this journey! I always wanted to get into this game but know none of my friends would play it with me!
Anyway I have ALWAYS wanted to know more about Persona4AU and I can’t think of a better person to teach us! But whatever you do man, I’ll keep on supporting you!
You liking Midler and Parasoul makes a ton of sense. Everyone nowadays wants either the rushdown, zoner, or shoto, but there is no love for a character that can control the screen and neutral forcing the opponent to take different approach routes they're not used to.
I guess you could say she's... Middling
I would absolutely love to see this single-character overview style for P4AU2. Especially with how you have one core set of tools across two characters for a lot of the cast, but with different approaches to gameplay, with the Shadows. Plus, it feels like P4AU2 overviews aren't really a thing rn since the game is pretty niche unfortunately
ppl have already mentioned vsav a lot and that'd be rlly cool, but alpha 2 woudl also be a fun one to do videos on
also AYY someone who also respects midler! she's rlly fun imo
Sasquatch is apart of the videogame baddies
It honestly would be fun to see you cover ASBR as well. It's a community I'm a part of and I'd like to see your thoughts and feelings on it.
Been waiting patiently for this one
When something is "the most unique", it means that is no longer unique.
For a somewhat obscure fighting game suggestion, Asuka 120% LimitOver Burning Fest. Is a super fun fighting game!
It has clashes, wall bounces, fully controllable jumps, etc. Some people consider it to be one of the first anime fighters.
You can even build your super meter to 120% so that you can use supers freely for a short time.
I suddenly was reminded of the Fist of the North Star fighting game, actually. It also is a game full of love for the original source material, some notable examples being a suicide super, a super where the opponent has to say the characters' name correctly, it's so charming honestly.
Of course, the most infamous aspect of the game is the "dribble combos" where ArcSys tried to limit long combos by increasing the characters' falling speed as the combo count increased, but the developers didn't realize the increased falling speed also increased the bounce height. The end result is infinites. Infinites everywhere.
P4AU is so underdiscussed in FGC videos, that would be a great game to talk about more, especially considering the Persona/Stand connection lol
Haven't played HFTF ever, but if I ever did Midler is absolutely who I'd go for. Thanks for all the breakdowns - they've been super interesting!
All your favorite fighting game characters are top tier waifus
It's kinda funny that Capcom preferred to put Lisa Lisa in Street Fighter in the form of Rose over putting her in an actual JoJo game, but then went though all this effort for a character who appears in all of one panel.
But when are you going to cover the blind dude and beetle guy?
Thanks for breaking down so many of these characters. This game was fun to mash in on emulator back in the day so it was cool to see what they can actually do haha
P4U is pretty neat! I personally prefer P4A but I think that's just because it took us so long to get Ultimax in the States that I had moved on lmao
I had no idea araki made her an entirely original design! Thats so cool
0:45 "this sasquatch will save me from gooner allegations"
Bold of you to assume I'm not gooning for Sasquatch
The Middler
my vote is for darkstalkers/vampire savior content, as with (much, much, a whole bunch more than any one channel could provide) more attention might shame capcom into actually doing literally anything with the property.
The car special reminds me of the explosion one Frieza has in fighter Z. Both are zoners, both have that special, both are kinda weird.
I wouldn't be surprised if she inspired Arcsys' Frieza design.
I’ve watched and enjoyed all of your Jojo videos, I think you have a great presentation style. If you were interested in branching out, an out there idea might be breaking down a character or two from the touhou fighters. Either Soku for something relatively traditional, or AoCF as a game that’s a bit more out there.
NEW MR MIXTAPEEEE YESSSIR
a friend of mine brought up how her art is just traced over from Yukako panels from part 4 and I think about that daily
It was a fun character to play as
seeing top 5 fighting game characters and seeing nanase and noel there was a slap to the face because those are both in my top 3 LOL
i would also love to see persona videos, those characters are absolutely insane especially naoto and shab
