      Using only half of an A-press is kind of baffling to me.

    • @doutchebags
      @doutchebags 5 лет назад +2

      @@GmodPlusWoW Not really. There are 3 parts to an A press: When you press down on the button, when you hold the button down, and when you release the button. When Mario has the wing cap, holding the A button down reduces Mario's fall speed. If you leech off of an A press before the level, and never let go of the A button throughout the star, then it's half an A press for that star. It's not as complex as Parallel Universes and the QPU grid as a whole, or the difference between Mario's speed and his defacto speed. Not to mention bomb clipping and how the BLJ (backwards long jump) can accelerate Mario to insane speeds because backwards movement has no speed cap.

      @@leadbones There's certainly an argument to be made for SMB being the most important, but it certainly isn't the best. There are plenty of games released today that are better games than Super Mario Bros. But it almost single-handedly brought gaming back to the states, which obviously no other game has ever done because no other game had to. As far as copies sold, it's Wii Music, no question, but it's also a pretty sub-par game in the game scheme of things.

    I didn't think about Tetris when I started this video (I was thinking SM64 or BotW as Number 1) but upon seeing it at the top spot makes so much sense. It was not only a console seller; it helped spawn an entire series of consoles. And, while I doubt it's many people's favorite video games now that we're over 30 years out, it's probably still one of the most recognizable series out there and something anyone will play if you give it to them.

    And you treat the sequels as if they were disappointing and deviating from the art style and identity of the franchise?
    Try to find one hardcore Halo fan who prefers CE over Halo 3, the sequels were anything but disappointing the 3 main competitors for best Halo game amongst the community are Halo 2, 3 and reach. Halo 3 gave Halo it’s current identity it was one of the most hyped and best selling games ever, and how exactly do you get to the point of saying Halo 3, warframe, mass effect and destiny look the same? The art style never stoped being unique and the identity has remained extremely recognizable.
    It’s probably your bias against FPS games kicking in again just trying to undermine an incredible franchise that is gonna make a huge comeback with Halo infinite

      Marz DaTroller How exactly?
      All cod fanboys do is talk shit over voice chat and hype up their next disappointment of a game.
      What I am doing is defending an amazing series that modernized fps games, has extremely deep lore, an immediately recognizable art style and identity and a series I grew up with and hold dear to my heart.
      Also I think it’s quite ironic that you are trying to criticize me by saying I sound like the COD community while you have Fortnite videos on your channel, and that username is just really strengthens your argument

      Marz DaTroller I’m sorry for acting like that I admit it kinda annoyed me when he put sonic over Halo CE.
      The difference is that COD got ruined by a greedy company pumping out as many games as they could and filling them with micro transactions, the last COD I ever played was black ops 3.
      Halo had its low with Halo 5 but it never got ruined, Hell I would even say Halo 5’s multiplayer is better than most popular games today(the campaign still sucks ass and I hate it) 343 industries is the most responsive AAA company to community feedback I ever saw, you can really see that with Halo infinite, they aren’t greedy or lazy, they are legitimately trying their best and learned from their mistakes and I really value that, as for Halo 4 I enjoyed the story but didn’t like the gameplay or multiplayer at all and I think we can all agree that the original bungie Halo games and Halo wars 1 and 2 are all incredible games.
      I am really excited for the Halo renaissance that is gonna come when Halo: Infinite releases, many people mistakenly think Halo is an FPS game series but it’s actually a sci-fi universe with really good lore, books and other kinds of expanded material. Most fans don’t read into the expanded material and just play the FPS and RTS games but an interesting fact is that the first Halo book actually came out before the first Halo game making Halo a book series before it was a game series

    If any of you guys are fans of Super Monkey Ball and still have a hole in your heart since Sega hasn't put out a good monkey ball game in ages, you should check out the Indiegogo for the game Rolled out! The guys doing it clearly have a love for super monkey ball, and have put in lots of work to get the feel and physics to be dead on for how super monkey ball felt.

    No joke, Wii Sports changed my perception of what games could be. Up until that point, all I'd played were JRPGs, Zelda, Sonic, and Mario. Wii Sports was like, "hey, what if a video game wasn't always about progressing towards a singular goal, and was more about just having fun". Absolutely rad launch title, I genuinely wish the Switch had launched with something similar (1, 2, Switch does NOT count!) so that the kids of today could hopefully have a similar moment of just having fun without that need for the game giving you a gold star when you do good.

    Wii sports story : my grandma kept seeing it on the news. She was baffled that it was impossible to buy a Wii. She decided she was getting one and brought me to gamestop. In front of us was someone returning one, sealed. She then bought that Wii. This was maybe 2 weeks after launch when it was a HUGE deal on the news that these things were selling out and impossible to buy. To this day she always brings up "just go to the store and get one" whenever a tech product is on the news for being hard to buy. She cites her Wii buying experience and believes that people are just unwilling to go to the store.

    Yeah, I don't count Mario 1. Part of the charm of launch games is that developers are making for brand new hardware. But Mario 1 wasn't a launch title on Famicom. It was made with a year of experience behind it.
