This might just be the nostalgia talking, but I've always been partial to Mario saying "Thank you so much for playing my game!" at the end of Mario 64. I think the reason why it stands out so much is because it was the first time I HEARD the main character outright thank me for playing (and Mario 64 was probably the first game I played with any form of voice acting).
Random childhood fun fact: I drank holy water once. It was on a school field trip to a cathedral. It was also a very hot day. I was extremely thirsty, so when they gave us all tiny bottles of holy water as a souvenir... Most of the teachers/priests were somewhere between surprised and appalled. I just remember it being surprisingly refreshing.
What's wrong with wanting to imbibe holiness? In fact, I'm kinda pissed that Desani doesn't have an on-site priest blessing the crap out of the bottled water.
What if you actually waited around for the Skeleton to throw away all 216 bones in their body, and then they just die automatically? Wouldn't it be super hype if that was actually a thing?
Hoax Slayer I just like the thought of the adult skeleton pulling apart the different bits of bone that fuse together in the skull, counting them each seperately
"These kids these days need to learn their roman numerals." "Four is just a backwards five." Six is a backwards four. Four is IV, Five is V, and Six is VI. Good job Matt. Way to fuck up harder then Pat.
I'm pretty sure matt was referring to the whole 'subtraction' thing. i.e. 1-3 are one to three, and five is five, but four is different. imagine in it terms of our numeric system, if you counted 1, 2, 3, 5 minus 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 minus 1, 10. not saying there's anything wrong about that but from a certain perspective it can seem weird.
Apologies in advance for the ultimate sploosh, but the Zaibatsu is my absolute favourite channel on RUclips. Been following you guys since the first season of TBFP on Machinima. The chemistry between you guys, the way you clearly care about the video games industry, the balance of comedy and commentary. Just all the bullshit you guys create honestly makes my day. LPs, one-offs, the podcast, animated collabs - just the whole shabang. Never stop, you're the S rank of RUclips. Overflowing love and daily benevolence!
I hope you guys play Castlevania 3 and Rondo of Blood next. and then all 8 metroidvanias in chronological order. (Simon's Quest ~> Harmony of Dissonance ~> Symphony of the Night ~> Circle of the Moon ~> Order of Ecclesia ~> Portrait of Ruin ~> Aria of Sorrow ~> Dawn of Sorrow)
holy shit, in binding of isaac there is a boss like death (with the flying scythes) AND there is also an item exactly like the holy water really trowing references there
I always find it interesting how Liam appears to be the best at video games of the Zaibatsu. No offense to him, but considering the fact that the others are much older and have more experience you wouldn't think that would be the case. I'd love to see Liam and others go through some other classic stuff, kinda like how Matt and Woolie went through tons of classic stuff at the start of the channel.
I say you guys should play Aria on the next Bestfriendvania. It also happens to be my favorite Castlevania as well, and I'd love to see Liam sploosh everywhere while playing it.
Pro Tip: If you crouch in front of the pillars in the Horror Chamber, the Medusa Heads tend to miss you. You still have to worry about the knights, but you can dispose of them pretty easily with a far-reaching projectile like the knife or the cross. I say "Pro Tip", but I haven't even beaten this game!
Since it didn't seem to be brought up and that neither of them seemed to know, the roman numeral power ups allow you to have 2/3 items on the screen at the same time instead of having to wait for the first item to disappear before you can use it again.
I had the holy water at the hallway for the first time I got there and those knights are incredibly easy to kill if you throw the water in front of them and walk a few steps backward. Medusa heads can be beat by just going forward without stopping.
Goddamn. Liam's making a lot of clutch jumps, like in dat first fight with Death, and my respect for the Rising Superstar only grows. No, in fact, it RISES!
Number 4 is not just a backward 5, it's a 5-1, V=5, I=1 so IV= 4, when you put a number smaller before a bigger one you make a subtraction (but this is not a rule)
lol @5:55 -ish not so subtle edit edit: ok the one around 20:45 is is actually really smooth lol. i wouldn't have even noticed except the holy water candle was suddenly gone
Yeah, those bats are actually the same object as the level 1 boss. They have the same AI. And Dracula's height? He got taller as the series progressed. Dude is like 16 feet tall in the later games.
I beat Death without Holy Water. It hurt. But it also felt good. There were like, two scythes left as well. Thankfully, I clutched it out before they could touch me. I probably had one hit left. I wish I had recording software.
Actually dark souls is Castlevania when you think about it, or rather what lords of shadow should have been, not the disappointment it's known as. And I like lords of shadow and it's sequel, they're my guilty pleasures, but no way will I defend them.
Yknow im drunk so im j7st gonna say what i shouldn't. this is the best pairing. Of the zabatsu i mean. Sorry but there it is. I basing this on a sk7lls, entertainment and energy scale.
So Liam for gameplay and Matt for hypeman? It's formidable, and an arguable best. Matt and Pat's bickering is always going to have a warm place in my heart, though. Woolie's got a nice balance of both hype and gaming ability, too. I say we keep them all.
Yeah so something is happening to the zaibatsu gang or what? Castlevania, Silent Hill 2, Paper Mario, Def Jam Fight for NY. WHY IS IT THAT EVERYTHING IS GOOD!??
*YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO ROMAN NUMERAL,* you see 5 and 10 are special numerals, for 5 and 10, the left side is minus, and the right side is plus so IV is 5-1, and VI is 5+1
"you played the greatest role in this story." Is my favorite thank you for playing in any video game.
Mine is:
"THANKS TO YOU... THE WORLD IS MINE!!" -M.Bison.
and right after the game goes "CONGRATULATIONS"
This might just be the nostalgia talking, but I've always been partial to Mario saying "Thank you so much for playing my game!" at the end of Mario 64. I think the reason why it stands out so much is because it was the first time I HEARD the main character outright thank me for playing (and Mario 64 was probably the first game I played with any form of voice acting).
Aros Knight "AND YOU...AS MEGAMAN X"
*manly tear*
I'd like to think that an albatross carries Pat around Canada
you got it backwards, pat is the one who carries the albatross, around his neck, as penance for his crimes against boatman Kenny.
The albatross originally did carry, Pat. He was too ginger for a stork.
Give Unto Caesar hahaha nice
Isseinoyuu I'm happy someone got the joke :D
Give Unto Caesar if they make a 3rd walking dead game, Kenny should be in it as a cyborg that swings around boats. Because why the fuck not.
Random childhood fun fact: I drank holy water once.

*****
It actually tasted really mineralized. Like bad spring water.
Me Auntie Nora
nice
tubbymanification Your suggestion made me very aroused... Now on towards JOLLY COOPERATION!
What's wrong with wanting to imbibe holiness? In fact, I'm kinda pissed that Desani doesn't have an on-site priest blessing the crap out of the bottled water.
Me Auntie Nora That has some very interesting theological implications
What if you actually waited around for the Skeleton to throw away all 216 bones in their body, and then they just die automatically? Wouldn't it be super hype if that was actually a thing?
Geez, watching it struggle to take all the bones in the skull apart to throw away would be really metal
How would it even throw the last one?
MelBrooksKA Unless it's a baby the human skull is a single bone. It just has a lot of cartilage around it. Unless you count the jaw, I guess...
JoestarKisama Another Skeleton bursts from his body and throws the last bone.
Hoax Slayer I just like the thought of the adult skeleton pulling apart the different bits of bone that fuse together in the skull, counting them each seperately
"These kids these days need to learn their roman numerals."
"Four is just a backwards five."
Six is a backwards four. Four is IV, Five is V, and Six is VI. Good job Matt. Way to fuck up harder then Pat.
Do you know what I mean?... perfect
MelBrooksKA
Excuse me!
ITV- Matt and Liam don't know shit about Roman numerals
Disclaimer: Who cares; they don't matter anymore.
I'm pretty sure matt was referring to the whole 'subtraction' thing. i.e. 1-3 are one to three, and five is five, but four is different. imagine in it terms of our numeric system, if you counted 1, 2, 3, 5 minus 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 minus 1, 10. not saying there's anything wrong about that but from a certain perspective it can seem weird.
Good thing that roman numerals are obsolete and easily translated with google, otherwise this might matter at all.

***** Me too. *Glug*
Mmmm. Malt liquor.
I better get me some holy shampaga for this toast
THAT TOP 10 GAMES OF 2013 SURE IS SUPER ON TIME YOU GUYS
YEP.
Too bad your comment is 11 months and 11 days late.
Preorder type 0 HD to get a preview.
Please understand.
We should just have a series where Liam plays extremely hard games and the other shitlords chime in.
CONGLATURATION !!!
YOU HAVE COMPLETED A GREAT GAME.
AND PROOVED THE JUSTICE OF OUR CULTURE.
NOW GO AND REST OUR HEROES !
Nice editing, I almost couldn't tell at all when you suddenly had three lives and full health, and the stopwatch.
Yes I know my roman numerals matt. Rocky V + Rocky II = Rocky VII Adrian's revenge.
Man heart of fire is such a kick-ass track! The remix in Aria of Sorrow is even better. One of the many reasons AoS is my favourite Castlevania game.
I hope you guys play Castlevania 3 and Rondo of Blood next.
and then all 8 metroidvanias in chronological order.
(Simon's Quest ~> Harmony of Dissonance ~> Symphony of the Night ~> Circle of the Moon ~> Order of Ecclesia ~> Portrait of Ruin ~> Aria of Sorrow ~> Dawn of Sorrow)
holy shit, in binding of isaac there is a boss like death (with the flying scythes) AND there is also an item exactly like the holy water
really trowing references there
They're called fleamen because they jump around all over the place
Like fleas
In which Liam whips every brick except the one with meat in it.
3:27 That Knight is using the Forbidden John Cena Technique - The Back Down!
Just like Woolie playing Dark Souls II. All defense, all the time.
Liam continuing his no death, one shot run of Castlevania
"This song's so good!" *complete silence for the audience*
I'm not sure if someone has said this yet but, I wish Pat was here to tell those Knights to DROP YOUR SHIELD!
I always find it interesting how Liam appears to be the best at video games of the Zaibatsu. No offense to him, but considering the fact that the others are much older and have more experience you wouldn't think that would be the case.

I say you guys should play Aria on the next Bestfriendvania. It also happens to be my favorite Castlevania as well, and I'd love to see Liam sploosh everywhere while playing it.
Liam's "whoooo" at 7:55 totally sounds like one of those Zombie Soldiers from Symphony of the Night.
Speaking of Richter... I hope the next Bestfriendvania will be Rondo of Blood/Dracula X Chronicles. It's by far my favorite in the series.
A buddy of mine always called the "Flea Man"......the "Tickle Me Igor" instead.
BELMONT 4 SMASH.
Pro Tip: If you crouch in front of the pillars in the Horror Chamber, the Medusa Heads tend to miss you. You still have to worry about the knights, but you can dispose of them pretty easily with a far-reaching projectile like the knife or the cross. I say "Pro Tip", but I haven't even beaten this game!
Maybe someone's said it, but I think the composer's name is Michiru Yamane, who recently did a lot of the music for Skullgirls.
Try beating death without the holy water, it's harder than Dracula because it doesn't start you right before him when you die.
Since it didn't seem to be brought up and that neither of them seemed to know, the roman numeral power ups allow you to have 2/3 items on the screen at the same time instead of having to wait for the first item to disappear before you can use it again.
Just bite the bullet and LP Bayonetta 2. You know you want to.
I love castlevania. Wish you played super castlevania 4
You guys should play Castlevania 4, Rondo of Blood or Bloodlines sometime.
The rising superstar continues his ascension
"Roman numeral 4 is lame because it's a backwards 5"
IV, V.
???
Rocky V + Rocky II = Rocky VII: Adrian's Revenge
"Pour out that champaignya, All in his coffin."
That should be a T-shirt.
Simon needs a holy water super soaker thats been passes down for generations
Would it be called HYDRO STORM!?
Nice; this game is indeed super difficult, but still fun!
I had the holy water at the hallway for the first time I got there and those knights are incredibly easy to kill if you throw the water in front of them and walk a few steps backward. Medusa heads can be beat by just going forward without stopping.
Goddamn. Liam's making a lot of clutch jumps, like in dat first fight with Death, and my respect for the Rising Superstar only grows. No, in fact, it RISES!
Number 4 is not just a backward 5, it's a 5-1, V=5, I=1 so IV= 4, when you put a number smaller before a bigger one you make a subtraction (but this is not a rule)
Confirmed here: Liam believes humanity is 24K years old.
lol @5:55 -ish not so subtle edit
edit: ok the one around 20:45 is is actually really smooth lol. i wouldn't have even noticed except the holy water candle was suddenly gone
Now that this short LP is over I'm now worried we're going to have another Woolie-led LP coming up. Woolie plz just do commentary
I feel bad for agreeing with you.
The II and III power ups let's you trow extra secondary weapons ;DD
Liam's milk and holy sweat will surely defeat the draculas
2:06
"Eight characters or something to get eleven."
Liam, the fuck. It's as simple as XI. Same for IV and VI.
II and III means you can throw 2 and 3 items at the same time, not powering up your subweapon.
Bat-jumper Liam, pushing Castlevania for Summerslam.
I'm okay with this.
The audio is unusually quiet.
Yeah, those bats are actually the same object as the level 1 boss. They have the same AI.
And Dracula's height? He got taller as the series progressed. Dude is like 16 feet tall in the later games.
i love it when liam-kun whips stuff
Anyone have any idea as to why most NES games have that timer at the top? Like Super Mario Bros and such?
Points. Rarely did a level ever take the full time (apart from a few puzzle levels, mainly Mario).
Liam's quest for meat, everyone!
lol cheesing Death, what a scrub Liam is!
...I did the same thing when I was a kid.
Clearly the next step is to skip Simon's Quest and play 8 Eyes. It even has a two player mode where player two controls the falcon.
holy water is dope for second form of Dracula.
I beat Death without Holy Water.
It hurt.
But it also felt good.
There were like, two scythes left as well. Thankfully, I clutched it out before they could touch me. I probably had one hit left.
I wish I had recording software.
I can't have gotten here this early for nothing. It can't have all been for nothing.
come on guys more castlevania please
You da best, CV1.
What if when Simon drank the holy water, he could sweat holy water but only from hands. Castlevania: Holy Fists.
If Pat had an albatross in Evil Within, Ruvik would be fucked.
Castlevania 1 Dracula VS. Dio (Part 3) GO
Rule: Dracula can see and combat The World
20:34 That torch disappeared! Must be a glitch in the game, and probably has nothing to do with the magic of video editing.
SEE YOU AT THE PARTY RICHTER!
The cross is better during Dracula phase 1 (headshots) but the Holy Water is better for phase 2 because he's easier to stun lock.
Do any Castlevania Castles have bathrooms? I was just imagining Dracula hiring a plumber or contractor or something
What a terrible night for a coh wait, it's not that one? Nevermind then.
The roman numbers indicates how many times you can throw a knife, axe etc in a row.
6:25
Fucking scythe-jumper Liam.
Kinuyo Yamashita composed for Castlevania 1.
Amazingly, the first time I did the doom hall way, I got through it without getting hit once. After that... not so much.
20:32 That edit holy shit
You know shit is real when they aren't just quiet, but the caption saying they're being quiet is also swearing.
Personally on Dracula, I just grab the holy water and whip him on his first form. His second form is way harder to whip than the first.
Thanks for your advice after he beat the boss using your method. You're the true hero.
I'm hungry for grease mixed with warm mayonnaise on a grilled cheese.
Death is more certain than death or taxes
You can't blame Dracula man. I kind of want to spawn on liam-kun sometimes.... OK all the time.
This is basically dark souls when you really think about it...
Actually dark souls is Castlevania when you think about it, or rather what lords of shadow should have been, not the disappointment it's known as. And I like lords of shadow and it's sequel, they're my guilty pleasures, but no way will I defend them.
How long would this have been with Pat and Woolie at the helm?
For some reason I thought this game was way way longer
"4 is a weird backwards 5"
What?!
Ah the SCP trap. Good times.
why does liam hate the time stop item?it's the best item in the game since it also works against most bosses.
Of course I know my Roman numerals. How else would I know the date certain motion pictures were copyrighted?
Is it just me or was this recorded at like the lowest possible volume setting?
Yknow im drunk so im j7st gonna say what i shouldn't. this is the best pairing. Of the zabatsu i mean. Sorry but there it is. I basing this on a sk7lls, entertainment and energy scale.
So Liam for gameplay and Matt for hypeman? It's formidable, and an arguable best. Matt and Pat's bickering is always going to have a warm place in my heart, though. Woolie's got a nice balance of both hype and gaming ability, too. I say we keep them all.
seymourglass26 No, I say we fire all of them and just keep Zack on the channel.
Just curious... where's the 7 key located on your keyboard?
MongooseDave2 I would really like an episode of Huntin' and Killin' with Zack.
"leg arms and leg bones"
IV is just a weird backwards V? I dont think Matt knows roman numerals either
Yooooooooooo lets see how Liam Does (starting video Now)
Michiru Yamane ♥
wow he beat this quick
Now play that piece of shit Simons Quest and unleash your inner salt and vinegar.
Castlevania + Dark Souls. Get it done
That would be redundant.
When's shovel knight?!?!
HOW CAN MATT FUCK UP THE ROMAN NUMERAL FOR FIVE WHEN FUCKING SFV IS REVEALED
Yeah so something is happening to the zaibatsu gang or what? Castlevania, Silent Hill 2, Paper Mario, Def Jam Fight for NY. WHY IS IT THAT EVERYTHING IS GOOD!??
*YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO ROMAN NUMERAL,* you see 5 and 10 are special numerals, for 5 and 10, the left side is minus, and the right side is plus so IV is 5-1, and VI is 5+1
