The Slowest Characters In Gaming Ever
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2018
- Throughout the history of gaming, we have seen characters move around at just about every different type of speed you could possibly think of, ranging from super-slow heavy hitters to lightning-fast ninjas; truly, when it comes to how quickly you move your legs, no other medium comes close to the diversity found in video games.
However, as much the creators try, true equality is something that can never be fully achieved, and in many cases, the slower characters tend to be not so good in their respective games.
But never underestimate the slow-coaches. Without putting so much focus into running their legs against the ground at a rapid rate, their strengths may instead lie in other areas. Perhaps they punch with the might of an elephant, maybe they can tank hits like a.. well, a tank. Or maybe they're none of the above and at utterly useless at everything, who knows?
But enough talk, The Slowest Characters In Gaming Ever have finally arrived, let's go meet them.

A few corrections. Spoilers for the video.
- When I said that swords were the weakest weapons in FE4, that was bad wording on my part. What I should have said was that it's the least damaging weapon type. Also, I should have mentioned that using Arden can net you an additional Pursuit Ring, which is a motivation for using him, but having to drag him around for that reason is frustrating.
- I always forget Pyukumuku exists, who also has only 5 speed. Not that I can record 3DS footage anyway, and I find Shuckle much more interesting.
I really wish annotations were still available, curse you, RUclips.
whoisthisgit and with annotations deleted means that there is no more interactive videos!
*CURSE YOU RUclips! I LOVED THIS VIDEOS WHEN I WAS A KID!*
The closest thing you can do is use the information tab
I was actually just going to comment about Pyukumuku, but Shuckle is pretty much the more interesting one of the three, especially given Shuckle's Contrary ability.
no u where right swords ARE the weakest i mean c’mon weapon triangle disadvantage against EVERYTHING no 2-range except ugh... magic swords (although alec can use them pretty well with promotion bonus and mgc ring) and weakest mt. So no you where right from the beginning!
actually swords ARE the crappiest wpn in the game except for bows. I mean c’mon WPN triangle disadvantage vs EVERYTHING no 2-range except for...urgh magic swords ( at least Alec can use them pretty well with promo bonus and magic ring) And they have the lowest might. So no you where right from the beginning.
"Amy succeeds at being a girl called Amy."
Ouch.
I'll bite. I wouldn't mind some clarification.
My name is Amy
Should I be offended or…
She also succeeds at being extremely dumb in Sonic Adventure 2 and '06. She mistook two hedgehogs who literally look almost nothing like Sonic as Sonic.
*"Ouch."* is right.
@@linyetaicetea8405 You decide.
_"You're too slow."_
- Sonic the Hedgehog.
"joke is overrated."
(not in labyrinth, obviously)
Useful and accurate info, no clickbait, no cancerous intro..why is this channel so unappreciated?!
The Black Asian Returns, it's not. Almost 100k subscribers is pretty good amount IMHO
PongWithBreakout He needs more..no..he DESERVES more..
Damn, I still remember when I was in the
Wendy's Damn right..I hate those clickbait RUclipsrs..they usually gain money by fooling people and 9 year olds..
Text. Just saying.
Amy actually becomes bareable once you realise that she accelerates faster in the air. Forget all about running to reach topspeed ; just jump once while moving and you should be good to go by the time you land : allowing you to spam the heck out of that Hammer Flip move. :D
'If Gen IV were a character, it'd definitely be featured in this video as well.' Amen to that
without Platinum to fix half of it, oh boy would it be way worse than it is
Also HGSS doesn't have that problem...
FarCritical yeah, I love the Sinnoh games, but Jesus they are slow
That's why I'm really anticipating the remake, it'll be nice to see those games going at an actually tolerable speed x)
Even the evolution/trade jingle feels slower than the other generations...
"The much faster Snorlax"
I never thought I would ever hear those words. Er, I mean, see those words.
WhirlingWinds yeah, It's weird how a pokemon 10 times as fat and 3 times as tall would be faster
Remember that Snorlax has that Z-move, which shows how fast and letal can be he
WhirlingWinds Dab at 19:35
Especially since he’s fatter than a sumo
Snorlax is secretly athletic
What in HELL where they thinking when they made the speed-up in labyrinth an epilepsy test? did it genuinely have to appear for the whole duration of the powerup
Not just the duration, the fact that it flashes all white with a brightly-colored background is also severely distracting and eye-piercing.
To be fair, it probably wasn't too bad on the actual hardware. Wasn't the Game Gear super dim?
VonFirflirch I played the game within a Sonic Collection on the PS2. I don’t recall such intense effects but I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t be far off from what was shown in the video. It was rereleased enough on more powerful hardware to be a concern.
The Game Gear is actually backlit. Instead, the odds of seizures are reduced by the small screen.
I should also mention that everything pertaining to those item boxes would produce the same effect, and that the effect was toned down in some of the later releases (which was pointed out by Johnny).
Game Gear?
I'm mostly just disappointed that you *still* missed the turkey.
Does he even need it at this point? Think about it...
Vincent Hernandez but it's a turkey… :(

Nice pfp you clod
What's funny is that after SA1 and until Sonic 06, Amy is able to keep up with both Sonic and Shadow at top speed
sonic artist/animator oh really? SA2 battle: amy matches speeds with the other 3 racers, including sonic, shadow, and metal sonic.
Sonic Heroes: Amy is just as fast as the other speed formation characters.
Sonic Advanced trilogy: Amy keeps pace with the others just fine
@@yeah9690 I fail to see how any of what i said was false
@@fireblast8972 that is gameplay mechancics to keep it fair if she could really catch up to sonic she would have already
Slowing down the intro music was very well done
holy shit you have the same profile pic as me
Truth be told I have been considering about changing it recently
Git. You are loved and appreciated. Never stop making videos
I love this comment
Amen
I like how you don't clickbait at all. Any character who appears on the thumbnail appears in the video! :D
Where was red slug in the video?
slug mentor is in every video in spirit. may all your bees be his wax.
I still think that he could have put another slow character since, besides Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic is known to be extremely fast.
ruth mcnally I am Red Slug. You are Red Slug. WE are Red Slug.
Lumios and Sonic Boom.
My theory is that Jekyl just doesn't want to get his nice suit dirty since he's getting married and can't afford to wait a few days to get it dry cleaned. Unfortunately, all the peasants are dirty and never bath and the mud puppies love to say hi when he walks by - and obviously he can't show up covered in cat hair. The opera lady is also really bad about spitting when she sings so he has to be careful around her. This also explains why he walks so slow; it is obviously a hot and sunny day, so his suit is extra toasty and if he moves too fast he'll start to sweat and then his fiance will marry Kevin the douchebag instead.
My theory is that Jekyl just doesn't want to get married.
still doesn't explain him not running to avoid the bombs
@@Saltyoven mud bombs, those things are packed full of dirt
Dirt? That’s a no go. Bomb ashes? Perfectly fine.
@@Saltyoven He secretly has a bomb fetish?
8:44 "Or *abuse Tails'* flying ability..."
I see what you did there...
Plays FE4
Alakazam used Trick Room
Arden now has 99 movement and quads everyone to death
So fast he teleports. He still uses swords though. ):
@@leoleo4469 but he can trillion attack everyone thanks to trickroom
Minrod Vils So fire emblem heroes Arden then?
Arden: "Thanks pal!"
Alakazam: "Kazam! Ala! (You're welcome!)"
When he said in the beginning of the video that Max is the best character if you know how to use him, I didn't realize that he spoiled the ending.
"I'm begging ya! Don't call me slow!"
~Arden in FE Heroes
Also if that is the shortest map in genealogy I'm probably never beating it, I'm still on the first map and can't rush fast enough to the towns without relying on RNG making guys miss me all the time.
Yee wait till u get to map 2
The game fortunately has only 10 maps, each has different objectives too
An incarnation of Max that rivals Final encounter Shiva in terms of speed...
You sir, dream dangerous dreams.
Fantastic dreams, but dangerous.
Wow, the first one minute and seventeen seconds of the video were certainly creative.
Laura Clark i thought it dragged on too long, despite the intended effect
I didn't really notice it at first, to be honest. When I did notice it, I thought, "how long has that been there?!?" Then I checked, and felt kinda stupid.
@@nuclearprotocol it was only once
If you have enough patience, you can play the stall game with Shuckle, with the contrary ability, give it the moves shell smash, toxic, infestation (which on top of gradual damage also won't let the enemy escape), and rest. Also give it the item leftovers. I have swept many a team with this combination, including full legendary teams.
This is the beuty of Pokemon
3:37 No shit. Are we on a ship that will sink in 9 hours? (We aren't) Let's spend like 2 hours talking before actually going through a door.
Even more of a coincidence was that I had just played 9 Persons 9 Hours 9 Doors before watching this video.
Got 2 endings already.
After you mentioned Big, at first I thought you were going to talk about how he makes up for it with his proven power in various other games. Then you talked about Amy. Then SONIC. Are you trying to kill my brain or something?!
8:48 Tails Abuse?
Mario G Hernandez the fact the the word “abuse” in the sentence “Abuse Tails’ flying” is capitalized just makes it all the better.
An obscure choice that could have been interesting to feature was the title character of either Toki game (arcade, or Going Ape Spit on the Genesis). He needs super high jumps to do any platforming at all, that's how slow he is.
Oddly, Amy moves faster going up stairs in Adventure than she does on a *flat surface,* which you'll find jarring.
Also, she tends to move slower on a regular slope, which only cements the oddity.
12:27 Yeah, that's what I'm always doing in Breath of the Wild.
I bet you've heard that game over music a hundred times
@@McCaroni_Sup I've heard fairy noises a hundred times, damn Lynel shields...
Reminds me of Armored Core 3. A friend had the game and he had already mastered the ridiculously obtuse control scheme, so he made this super fast mech with a precision laser. I couldn't even comprehend the controls, so I made a gargantuan hulking metal behemoth that could barely walk and gave it two machine guns. Then we fought eachother.
I usually won. It was pretty funny.
I remember the original armored core. If you made a heavy mech like that, you wouldn't be able to jump at all and would be unable to beat some of the missions that required it. Not sure about the later titles.
Ah Armored Core
You became the inmovable object
15:39 it feels exactly like he's wading through water
Hammer lord in Kirby quest is pretty damn slow. But hes a brute
so true
yeah if you get a time freeze with the mage guy you can do a LOT of damage. also, hammer flip can do some amazing damage, even when the boss isn't frozen.
11:10 Oh great, as if this game isn't bad enough, it tries to give you a seizure when you try to go fast! Nice going, assholes.
That was more down to poor planning and not predicting that the game would see releases on hardware connected to *vastly* larger screens (after all, it was specifically developed for a handheld).
Luckily, they turn that constant flashing in the 3DS Virtual Console.
Talk about shitty game design, am I right?
Alternately, you can have shuckle use Power Split on a pokemon with high attacking stats. Less of a boost, since you and your opponent gets equal attack stats in the middle, but the trade-off is that you won't lose any defense stats at all, so Shuckle, especially with the fact that your opponent is now weaker, can tank the hits and dish out decent damage, doesn't need to rely on Trick Room anymore.
To be fair, if Arden did have Pursuit, he technically would double axe fighters, since their 18 weight axes cripples their speed to 0, while Arden's 3 weight sword would bring him down to 1 speed, which is barely enough for him to double (doubling in Genaology only requires your total speed > opponents total speed, plus having Pursuit).
You could give him the Pursuit Band, but... why?
"Strong and tough is good, I like that. But I'm beggin' ya... Don't call me slow!" -Arden
*Arden sheds his armor and beats sonic in a race*
*Arden begins to debuff everyone with Panic Ploy and starts hitting people with Ignis*
I really love your videos because I love it’s style. You don’t use your voice at all for most videos and personally I like reading texts more than listening to someone’s voice in a RUclips video.
Same
I like how you said “he has as much anticipation as a Nonary Game participant”
If you were to make more slow characters videos, I suggest looking at Mewtwo in super smash bros melee. His speed is one of his main problems, alongside his light weight.
The characters are so slow that I had to stop the video for the night and finish it in the morning
Ironically,max is chosen by most speedrunners
Understandable, it's more important to dish out tons of damage quickly in that game than moving fast. He can slide everywhere to progress faster as well.
Not to mention, he's a bit trickier to use, but once you master him, there's no stopping his graceful onslaught
The opera women is Bona Fide, her singing is bad because she was born tone deaf
Commander James is that real or headcanon?
the more you know
Joe Scirrotto real, it's in the instruction manuel. It mentions that she's tone deaf but doesn't care.
Arden is slow?
*His Heroes incarnation is pretty good though.. he comes with a Brave sword and Follow-Up ring...*
One zelgius later...
Heroes incarnations aren’t that different to some units.
I.E Dorcas: Stout Tomahawk has built in Distant Counter: reference to the fact he has a hand axe when you start
Fierce Stance: he’s a fighter..
Quick Riposte: He has an okay SPD growth and can double even with high CON.
Infantry Pulse: HP growth.
I might be wrong tho
All that speed and max still got no turkey!!
I tried using arden (boss hit exploit) and he doesn't deserve nothing, and in just four situations he helped, blocking the bridge in the first chapter, blocking the jamka's army, in eldigan's chapter and containing pamela's squad in the upper left castle. But against Sigurd and Lewyn you will be wasting your time
And also, I gave him the brave sword, he will be decent in the arena (while others like Alec, Claude or Dew won't, due to his common lack of attack and defensive stats), but even so, 5 movement is the worst stat of this game, because even in chapter one if you don't save the village quick,bye speed ring for Sigurd and even so Claude in map gameplay is way more usefull because of valkirie staff and psychic (the last one I don't remenber well, but if I'm correct it's a ten ranged staff so...).
They did get rid of the run button in Odyssey, now Mario spin dashes faster than Sonic whenever he presses X or Y.
Run button never was a thing in 3d Mario.
Super Mario 64 DS wants to talk with you
Whenever you see something in the thumb nail, It's always here. You do great work on this channel!
Your editing is always the best Git, and your videos are always so entertaining, keep it up :D
I have a contribution for if you decide to make another Slowest Characters video: *Liberty Prime from Fallout 3.*
He drags behind you, only barely able to keep up with you. If not for his size (and the fact that you're most likely wearing power armor at that point,) he'd end up getting left behind.
Poor Arden... Mocked in Fire Emblem Heroes and now here :P
wonderful video, as always
Then I think slow moving powerhouses my mind always goes to The Heavy from TF2
2:58 i think its one of those “put them to sleep” moves, like for example: someone covering your mouth and nose to put you to sleep, something like that
Slow character? Anakaris from the Darkstalkers series is the first thing that comes into my mind. Great video! I played that Sonic game a lot too, but the backstory is pretty... Meh. I wonder how speedrunners play slow games(Without glitches)
Some people have the patient to do it. Even the pace of some game are slow.
"If Gen IV we're a character, it'd definitely be featured in this video as well."
You think that's slow? Try using an OHKO move on a level 100 Blissey with Max IVs in HP, it's PAINFUL to watch.
**12 YEARS LATER**
Oh hey look, its HP went down 3 pixels, this is going faster than I thought!
Blissey is rivaled only by gen 1 or 2 Missingno on that.
What platform did you play SA on? The PC port is best since it restores many missing Dreamcast features and some other things, like Widescreen
Have you gotten in TV Tropes again??
Oh god...THE TRAP
Tv Tropes Will Ruin Your Life, afterall.
BahnDaten puncc
the only off fan remaining on this planet Oh crap it’s puncc squid
4:16 I love that u used one of the Fire themes from The Sims 1.
What was with the music in the opening? It's an affront to human ears.
ruth mcnally the slowed intro
Poor poor Arden. At least he’s good in Heroes, with his Follow Up Ring and the smaller maps, not to mention Armor March/Boots.
Give him bold fighter, and you've got yourself one scary man!
Also loved the ending as well!
I just discover this amazing channel. I'm subscribin.
Where are you in my life before.
Well this video certainly is a nice change of pace ;)
As soon as I saw Sonic in the thumbnail I knew what was coming. I will never fully understand Sega’s thought process. Literally nobody looked at this and said “maybe taking away Sonic’s defining feature isn’t a good idea.” No one? I wonder if anybody got fired for this.
14:30 (Starts Hearing Authentic Sky From Tekken 4) Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
Nice reference to _Tekken 4_ with the Rooftop music during the bit with Robin and Shulk!
If you plan on doing another fastest character video again, I cannot recommend enough that you look into penguin/Antarctic adventure. Weird Video Games did videos on them. To put into perspective, the penguin you play as, Penta, out-speeds rocket engines.
That ending was glorious.
Blinx the Time Sweeper's protagonist is pretty slow too, unless you use the Fast Forward power. It adds an unnecessary bit of extra challenge to the game because there's a hidden time limit in the 1st game.
That speed boost Sonic Labyrinth could give someone an epileptic seizure.
What's the song in the start? Btw it sounds really good a 2x speed.
Edit: Now I know why it sounds good a 2x speed *facepalm*
Miconia the song is the “single player mode” from Chu Chu Rocket for the Dreamcast.
It was clear Shuckle and Munchlax would be in this video. But already, Gen VII featured another 5 base speed Pokemon: Pyukumuku, which is basically a Water type Shuckle but without offensive moves and worse defenses.
Haha, I love the thing you did at the end of the video!!
lets not forget mikey thomas in backyard baseball, man's slow, but he's incredibly powerful
The only thing the speed shows seem to do for Big is make him accelerate faster and move slightly faster.
Same thing with Amy. It only “fixes” her acceleration (becoming able to do hammer jumps still takes a while)
"I'm gonna complain about th thumbnail before watching this video!" Said no one ever! ...but they still do it.
To be honest I was expecting a mention of Arden. I'd hate to try to move him in the deserts in Doors of Destiny.
19:09 wow chugga went over this in his video today too... might there be some special relationship we arent seeing
I'm honestly surprised you never mentioned Headdy with that god damn weight which kills me every... freaking... ti- OH COME ON, I TIMED THAT PERFECTLY.
The mini-sweep with Shuckle was satisfying to watch!
The opera singer is called creepy singing lady and her music is “creepy singing lady’s theme”
Speaking of 999,
i figured it out
the whole thing was essentially just a sudoku arg
sudoku has 9 boxes with 9 spaces for numbers
there must be numbers 1-9 in each box, each row, and each column
the end is also sudoku too
i solved the true mystery
The final puzzle of the final nonary game will just be sudoku
13:46 DONT forget about a mini-Leave My Ears Alone! Episode!
It's just input lag :P
3:00 Max is obviously grinding his enemy's head against his rock hard, very chiseled, and war crime inducing chest.
14:30 is that... Tekken 4 Music? Damn, you have great taste
I do like to walk in Mario games. XD
Great video.
I love how he capitalizes He and Him for Big the Cat like he is God.
Because He is.
And then Arden was added to Heroes, where his speed isn't as much of an issue because he's got the Follow-Up Ring. (Of course, mages will destroy him due to his RES also being low.)
Give him armor march and deflect magic and he's good to go! (still is destroyed by reinhardt though)
7:33 "Like a weak reminder you're playing sonic games"
Lmaooooo
The ending with Max was amazing! Hells yes! Get your floor turkey on!
That Speed Boost powerup should have been in Leave My Eyes Alone...good lord
How the heck does Amy become the Speed character of Team Rose if she never could move that fast in the first place?
16:05 Yeah, Hyper Monado Arts can slow you down even further. I doubt Shulk would even be able to jump over Sandbag in that situation!
Because she's up against a child and Big.
"If Gen 4 were a character it'd be in this video"
(Hits Blissey with Close Combat)
(Comes back 2 years later)
"(Trainer) used Full Restore!"
*_SON OF A-_*
Then Leftovers, Sandstorm, Aqua Ring, Ingrain and Curse activate. I'd be about 23 years old by the time that onslaught stopped.
Does anyone know the music during the Shulk part? I can’t find it 😢
The slug in the thumbnail picture is a giant snail without its shell from castlevania dawn of sorrow
May all your bees be my wax
May all your bees be my wax.
LOL! How did I know Sonic Labyrinth would make this list!
Shuckle is awesome, by the way...
I actually aware of Sonic in the thumbnail.
I knew slow boi Arden was gonna come.
At least he has character!
"Free"
*cough cough* 40k gold *cough cough*
15:21
Shulk:🎵Everyday when you're walking down the stre-
*Gets hit by a shy guy racer*
Spot on Max analysis. I was never sure what that stupid throw was, but it was my go-to. If some poor sod walks into it, they'll also take some massive damage.
About the shulk part, in smash ultimate (which hasn't come out by the time of this video) there's a spirits mode, and there are spirits that grant the "slow super armor" ability. And when they say slow, they mean slow. You move like an obese puddle of sludge, and you can go even slower with the King Slime spirit with tank style and shield monado.
