Love Arrowhead. The little chirps it makes and its idles on the ranch are adorable. Love that they brought him back for Line with some great new sub-breeds. Hopefully he sticks around if there's another sequel.
This is it. This is the one I've been waiting for since you mentioned the cool lobster story, and my love from arrowhead as someone who played MR2 as a kid and did not have enough english comprehension to get far at all in the game. I'll savor this one, thanks Moose.
I am so glad to have seen this video! i only recently got DX but i own mr1 and 2 on ps1, Arrowhead was always a favorite of mine and knowing how viable it is in DX makes me so verry happy.
This was a pretty fantastic video, thank you ^^. I had an idea for an interesting video you could do. You could feasibly showcase urban legends, rumors, and falsehoods that have lurked around the Monster Rancher series. What ones were true, what ones were false, and what ones were merely a misunderstanding of something that was legitimate yet incorrectly described.
@@Moosebones Well yeah, I notice that you tend to include the urban legends in tandem with the monster they relate to and Metalner covered a few more ;p
I know that the odds of both 59% and a 69% hitting on "frame 1" isn't too far off from getting hit by golem cyclone, but for some reason, it just seems like Arrowhead always hits it. I've become one of the people who shave some points off power and skill to survive stuff like this in 3500.
Its also compartmentalized into smaller pieces, usually you can only use them back to back if one actually hits so its like if cyclone had 2 rolls to do 50% of its normal damage at a higher hit rate
Even if the theming isnt super obvious I try to pick musical choices that work on more than just a literal aural level. The gap in viability between Q in 3s and G at his best in sfv was that inspiration.
It's an incredibly small but dedicated scene. I too didn't realize people were still playing this game until the remakes came out and I stumbled on Moosebones' original MR2 tier list. Shame too because watching it has a tension and feel that other competitive games don't really have. The fact that the AI is in control and everything's probability based just adds to the excitement imo.
Are there any mods for this game yet? Like a randomizer? I bought it for switch but I’m thinking I’d rather play it on steam. I used to play it on an emulator with the advanced viewer and that thing was awesome
Advance viewer works on dx and people are currently working on mods. Theres a functioning mod to re-add skipping drills into it and i think theres a randomizer in the works
It is a pity they did not made the sub race have something else like here, imagine if all sub had a different attack to it, or changing some of the values, making stronger, or accurate or less expensive. But we only got lifespan and guts regen.

8:37 DUDE WHAT
I am so glad to have seen this video! i only recently got DX but i own mr1 and 2 on ps1, Arrowhead was always a favorite of mine and knowing how viable it is in DX makes me so verry happy.
Even though i had 0 idea what i wss doing. Im so happy to see LumberLarrys dying moments make a cameo
Holy hell, just stumbled upon this video - arrowhead was always my favorite. You’re blowing my mind
I used to not be a fan of arrowhead as a kid (first exposure to one was in Advance 2) but in recent years? Genuinely one of my favorites!
8:41 what do we play rancher for if not the jank
That's a cool lobster!
We! Love! Cool! Lobsters!
That lobstah was my first main in MR2! Great video as always! 🤠
Ive not played monster rancher in so long, but this is one of the 3 monsters i remember the most.
I LOVE aqua man theme music
This was a pretty fantastic video, thank you ^^.

That's what the Metalner rancher rundown is more or less lol
@@Moosebones Well yeah, I notice that you tend to include the urban legends in tandem with the monster they relate to and Metalner covered a few more ;p
Arrowhead was one of my faves too. Gali being my absolute favorite.
Reason to pick: "looks cool" - younger me
My favorite Monster
Lobster is friend, very interesting monster and video. I like Arrowhead now
The man made another video! I love those type of rundowns

@@Moosebones Yeah, my brain definitely filters out all the times the first tech misses. I basically just see a 70% hit and say "wow, accurate combo".
design wise arrowhead is probably my favourites from the gba days
Crabsaurian kings. The cool lobster is also pretty deadly.
Something about Cool Lobster getting the G theme makes sense thematically
Even if the theming isnt super obvious I try to pick musical choices that work on more than just a literal aural level. The gap in viability between Q in 3s and G at his best in sfv was that inspiration.
@@Moosebones I would have never put that together, that's cool as hell good shit
@@drychineb1835 i dont expect anyone to get stuff like that tbh lol, its pretty obtuse. Kind of just like an injoke to myself.
THERE IS COMPETITIVE MONSTER RANCHER ??? HOLY SHIT WHY DID I LEARN OF THIS ONLY NOW
It's an incredibly small but dedicated scene. I too didn't realize people were still playing this game until the remakes came out and I stumbled on Moosebones' original MR2 tier list.

one of us
It's a fun and friendly little scene, come join us!
It's incredibly friendly for a competitive scene, you should totally join if you haven't already
Lets gooooo was waiting for this since before I joined Deluxe 1 😅
great vid as always bro
A MONSTER RANCHER CHANNEL! AUTOMATIC SUBSCRIBE!
whoa is that a crab or a scorpion
Get yourself a monster that does both.
Is that you, kevin?
Dude had the biggest glow up!
arrow head! what a great monster.
Ah yes, the Hidden Sting jumpscare from Arculon. Fun times!
I love arrowhead only because I've always wanted to eat one
My boy!
This is a very cool video
So this was great, but where's the Slamball?
More slamball coming soon

This whole vid should've had tracks from The Prodigy's "The Fat of the Land", you know, because crustaceans... it's as good an excuse as any
Bowhead Stonks
*Sings Rock Lobster*
I haven't played a single Monster Rancher game aside from a platformer on the Gameboy Color.
Still, fun watch.
Wait Tail Swings costs 16?
Nah, typo lol
If only there was an Arrowhead/Metalner breed...
So basically Silver Plate? xD
