This is amazing, seeing people who have no idea what Umineko is about or who the characters are play a highly-divergent spinoff of the main series. It's a series that only barely makes sense if you know the entire story, inferring it from details in a fighting game leads the Best Friends to some delightfully strange places.
i read that faq that dude made for woolie. it gave specific tips for making it video-friendly, character descriptions, background on the vn and trivia. lots of good shit. i feel bad for the dude now...
On one hand, poor dude wasted some good effort, he didn't deserve that. On the other hand, the Best Friends are at their finest when bumbling around and we got Pat's bitching Bernrosa theory out of this.

They are in deep Weeb waters now. This goes beyond the calm waters where the inexperienced pass around fan sub bootlegged Naruto DVDs. This is straight up cult classic fan-translated VN game spin-off territory. I fear they may never make it back without a Liam for a guide.
So Umineko, the murder mystery visual novel...has a fighting game. Yeah, so when's my Zero Escape fighting game? When's my Higurashi fighting game? WHERE IS MY EUPHORIA FIGHTING GAME?
I was gonna make a joke about a Phoenix Wright fighting game but... ya know... Mahvel... Nobody applies corner pressure like Godot. His Coffe corner traps are amazing!
Is there a rabbit hole? I watched the whole first anime and thought it was alright, but the sequel series is so dumb I can't get into it. Are the VNs better?
The Umineko anime has been rejected by it's fanbase, so that should tell you something. It also didn't get a second season for good reasons. It's a top-tier VN though.
Umineko: The game where whether you can argue the butler did it in the kitchen with the candlestick is more important than how many universes the enemy loli can blow up.
When you think it's just a "small girl fanservice" fighter but it's actually a "Murder Mystery Chess Match within a Chess Match that spans time and space" fighter. Also Battler gonna make some hamburger meat.
William Gregor No, this is still "small girl fanservice". It just tries to lie with a murder mystery. Like Touhou lies at being bullethell. No amount of lying with style or flare or substance will make the girls look any closer to 18.
Knowing and loving Umineko, and getting all the little references, I realized I've been watching this for over a half hour with a huge dumb grin on my face.
Charredasperity Just when you reach the depts of cheap knockoffs and anime trashfires...a barrel with substance appears to mislead you into going deeper. The barrel is located in Woolie's house, no surprise it would also be skilled at lying.
For those of you who have never heard of Uminkeo before, I would highly recommend playing it. It's one of the best visual novels I've ever played. There's too much to say about it for one youtube comment, but it's an average man with reason VS. a witch with magic kind of story. It does an absolutely amazing job of setting up the main character in a desperate situation that seems hopeless. So when he finally manages to turn things around and that awesome "Dread of the Grave" comeback music kicks in, it will 100% guaranteed give you goosebumps.
There's also an anime of the first half of it. It's a lot more summarized, but it looks nice, especially compared to the original VN's art...though if that bothers you, there's also a patch you can get that uses the PSP remake's art. Which I need to find again, because I had this on my old computer and never finished it.
Whoever made this game seems to have been thinking that the best way to convey that the source material of a fighting game is complex (umineko is a nifty anime magical murder mystery-ish thing) is to make the fighting game have an incomprehensible amount of meters.
I was just using anime as a shorthand, the Best Friends fanbase might be pretty weeby overall, but more people are likely to get what I mean if I say anime than if I say visual novel, let alone _kinetic_ _sound_ _novel._
oh man, if I was a fan of this series I'm sure I'd be foaming at the mouth over all of these references. ... I might actually look this up in the future.
Make sure you set it to the original art though. Don't you dare play it with those bland, generic-ass anime portraits and miss out on the goofiness that is Ryukishi07's art.
Or do play it on generic anime art, cause you shouldn’t force yourself to deal with shitty art and risk not continuing a great story with amazing voice acting
This game is actually based on the sequel to a visual novel titled 'When They Cry'. Actually Umineko's full title translates to 'When the Sea Gulls Cry'. You can see a returning character from the first VN, Bernkastel, who is also a witch. Liam would have told you all this. I miss Liam.
I love Higurashi (tho I never finished it), I need to get into Umineko tho. I love witches and murder mysteries, but Umineko also apparently has some incest, which grosses me out, but I'm gonna have to stomach it to get to the stuff I do like.
Anyone who has never heard of Umineko, go listen to some of the visual novel ost. Then when you're hooked, read the VNs, they're on RUclips, you can even find the updated versions with voice actors and better graphics. They're absolutely worth your time. It's basically a traditional murder mystery, that is made to look like a fantasy magic story with witches and lolis to distract and fool you, and your and our protagonist's job is to see through all the bullshit and explain how the murders were committed if no bullshit lolis exist to commit the murders. If you can't, you lose, and you have to admit bullshit lolis exist and they'll devour your soul. If you're only semi interested, at least check the Logic Error scene. It's one of the best in the series. Also it's extremely graphic and violent without being that. It's amazing.
Yeah fam, in the tournament of power Beatrice goes Endless Witch Super Endless and even in spite of being from the previous series, Rena gets like three eliminations with her cunning.
How did I not know about this? This is hilarious. I love Umineko, it's so fun seeing them reacting to everything despite knowing nothing about the original umineko
I have no idea the reasoning, but she idol beam seems to be a reference to Touhou's Marisa, and her Master Spark Laser. But yeah. Unexpectedly cool character!
So full meter explanation... Wing: Current character's super meter, each feather is one super Vine: Burst, available when pink Orange Under Timer: Meta, fills over time, activate to enter super "Meta" mode Break Limit: Guard break, fills while guarding damage, when it fills the character is stunned for a few seconds Alternate Character Pips: Second character's super, fills during combat with the character who is tagged in Alternate Character Swathe: Allows your tagged-out character to assist the one currently fighting, quickly fills over time, only usable when filled THE HYPEST ANIME NOT ANIME
Originally released as "Ougon Musou Kyoku" years ago, and got a console release with some extra features, but never saw an English release or translation. (It's engine was far too different for Witch Hunt to be able to fan-translate it like the normal series.) Just recently given an English release on Steam, published by MangaGamer(like the rest of the When They Cry series)
It's based on a mystery visual novel where the MC is trying to figure out a closed door murder mystery without the use of supernatural explanations. Is actually quite good, never thought they'd make a fighting game out of it.
Why does everybody think, "thing I don't understand must be garbage" when anime fightgames are happening? I genuinely do not understand the mentality at play here.
So what you're telling me, Mr.Quicknames or whatever your name is, you're telling me you'd rather have nothing, than something that is both different than what you are expecting AND well done. Is that a fair understanding of your position?
What's hilarious about playing this without Umineko is that none of the character's passives are going to make any sense. George gets buffs when enemy attacks graze him - fuck you, play _Episode 4 - Alliance of the Golden Witch_ for the context. Anyway, now I'm trying to think of what the most obscure Super in this game is. Probably one of the late-game character's Metaworld Supers.
As someone who hasn't tried this game out because I'm still waist deep in Episode 4, wow is this game weird and upbeat compared to the source material. Like I thought Fate got peppy when you're not looking at the gritty parts, but aside from the blood splatters, you'd never think this game is a spin-off from a story which features a woman getting repeatedly forcefed her brother's face and a happy Halloween party for a girl has her aunts and uncles cut open and stuffed full of candy and sweets. She loves it. But when's Fate/Unlimited Codes?
Nobody wants Unlimited Codes. Its so mediocre that I'd rather they pass it by. In a world where MeltyBlood exists, you literally HAVE to do better than a middling 6/10. That said, if we ever get a Fate fightgame that looks and plays as good as DBFZ I will create a twitter or twelve and scream at these mountie scream-lords to play it.
Yeah, but it's a game that Woolie has namedropped once or twice, and I want a chance to gauge how much these scrublords know about Fate as a whole. So far, it's just a UBW reference in the LA Noire playthrough. More data is needed.
Well one thing is for sure, our boys will claim to know the lore, but probably get everything wrong. "See, Rider is actually Sakura from the future..." - Pat 2019
From the moment the best friends started friday night fisticuffs, i knew it was inevitable, the one day they would finally play this game. And now that that the videos here it only makes me all the sadder that liam senpai wassnt here to play it. He could have been the only one who knew what umineko was.
One year and a readthrough of Umineko later, I return to this episode to realize how fuckin' great it is watching people who know nothing about Umineko try to understand Umineko.
too bad they didn't anything about the Umineko series (VN novel same as Higurashi or When They Cry), everything include moves, background, references, diaologues and OST are related to it. Too bad they can''t appreciate more
well yeah it's same author who wrote Higurashi, and the original was Visual Novel game before they made anime/manga/novel even a fight game. The story is 100 times more complex, if you read Higurashi before you should've understand

So Umineko, the murder mystery visual novel...has a fighting game.
Yeah, so when's my Zero Escape fighting game?
When's my Higurashi fighting game?
WHERE IS MY EUPHORIA FIGHTING GAME?
Higurashi has this weird 3D arena fighting game
Technically Persona 4 is a murder mystery, and that got 2 fighting games, so at least you have that
I was gonna make a joke about a Phoenix Wright fighting game but... ya know... Mahvel...
Nobody applies corner pressure like Godot. His Coffe corner traps are amazing!
Where is the Dangarompa fighting game...
Oh man, I'd love a Zero Escape fighting game! And they could even bring back the writer to make a crazy and convoluted story mode!
God I want Pat to jump into the When They Cry rabbit hole and yell at no one about it on the podcast.
Hey man, if Pat goes on a rant about Seacats, I'll personally listen and be there to know what he's getting wrong.
Jō Don I sent pat a tweet telling him what it's about doubt he will read it though
Is there a rabbit hole? I watched the whole first anime and thought it was alright, but the sequel series is so dumb I can't get into it. Are the VNs better?

Umineko: The game where whether you can argue the butler did it in the kitchen with the candlestick is more important than how many universes the enemy loli can blow up.
That's probably the best description I've ever heard of Umineko
I think it's about a sea cat
Pretty much
This specific game is a fighting game. You can MAKE the butler do it in the kitchen!
the butler did it in the kitchen with the small food bombs.
"she's sending the whole orphanage out to you"

Holy shit. They have no idea how on the mark that was.
how fitting was it that the video ends with Battler beating the shit out of Shannon and doing his smug victory pose
SPOILERS
Well, *Kannon's* gender is male and he has a Y chromosome, so I'm not sure that's really on the mark.
I mean if you _really_ want to get into detail you're correct. Matt basically just spoiled the entire thing without knowing it.
You need a research-grant to summarise Kannon's identity.
I see Liam's stand is in full effect
Devon Palmer when he's gone the anime is in full effect
I thought Liam was the stand, I don't see him.
Cat Paradox that’s because you’re not a stand user
I read "Liam's stand is fully erect"
Liam's stand is just Cheap Trick, but it says "Play anime games" into your ear over and over
Yes, his name really is Battler.
Is the other half of his name actually Brian?
No, his father Rudolf just named him Battler for some stupid fucking reason.

As someone who loves Umineko and loves the Best Friends... it's fucking hilarious hearing them react to things as simple as the characters' names.
It's a shame Featherine Augustus Aurora is just the announcer, I'd love to see them react to that mess of a name.
I can't fucking believe they took that touhou cosplay scene and made it into a super. And master spark at that.
I saw Unimeko
I came
then I came to watch the video
Unimeko when you came
It's kind of terrifying how people not knowing Umineko can blindly say answers the riddles
Wow, I'm surprised at Woolies lack of knowledge about the Seacats franchise.
I love how Jessica's ultimate is just a Touhou reference
Kuroyami0Fukaikuro That really surprised me.
She sings uh...damn I forget Love-colored Master Spark in the manga.
A canon one, to the VN, no less, apparently
On the novel she sings Tsurupettan with her band on the school festival, as Marisa
There's a character who dresses up as Reisen too.
Yo dawg we heard you like meters, so we put some meters over your meters so you can meter while you meter.
we gave you a meter to let you use meters to build more meters so that you can use the meter to do more meter.
tailedgates9 Don't forget the Downloadable meters DLC, or DLM as the cool kids call it.
Meter management the fighting game
It wouldn't be umineko, if everything wasn't crazy overcomplicated. There should be 3 more meters that don't do shit.
Even if he's no longer here, the spirit of Liam lingers.

You have literally no idea what the hell you're on about.

In all seriousness, I HIGHLY recommend the Umineko visual novel/manga. It's a very unique and intricate mystery story.
They're playing an obscure fighting game...that's actually good? They must have gotten a new barrel.
Charredasperity
Just when you reach the depts of cheap knockoffs and anime trashfires...a barrel with substance appears to mislead you into going deeper.

good video guys ,this game is good but have a lot of complex systems, I appreciate the effort of going in training mode and trying to learn to play
You guys should do an Umineko play through its got a great story
Nah... If they can't grasp Yakuza 0's "Empty Lot" then Umineko is gonna bore the fuck out of them.
I haven't watched the video, but, I'm preemptively calling the police.
Oh boy, ANOTHER not-marvel game that's better than marvel.
While I appreciate going with the gag, it's SUPER not. Also, Marvel doesn't make me want to tear my ears off.
Yeah, I'm just memeing, don't mind me.
Umineko > capeshit
Oh fuck Ougon Musou Kyouku? Been years since I played that.
What's hilarious about playing this without Umineko is that none of the character's passives are going to make any sense.
George gets buffs when enemy attacks graze him - fuck you, play _Episode 4 - Alliance of the Golden Witch_ for the context.
Anyway, now I'm trying to think of what the most obscure Super in this game is. Probably one of the late-game character's Metaworld Supers.
23:06 literally
Always cool to see them dive into a fighting game blind.
As someone who hasn't tried this game out because I'm still waist deep in Episode 4, wow is this game weird and upbeat compared to the source material. Like I thought Fate got peppy when you're not looking at the gritty parts, but aside from the blood splatters, you'd never think this game is a spin-off from a story which features a woman getting repeatedly forcefed her brother's face and a happy Halloween party for a girl has her aunts and uncles cut open and stuffed full of candy and sweets. She loves it.
But when's Fate/Unlimited Codes?
Nobody wants Unlimited Codes. Its so mediocre that I'd rather they pass it by. In a world where MeltyBlood exists, you literally HAVE to do better than a middling 6/10. That said, if we ever get a Fate fightgame that looks and plays as good as DBFZ I will create a twitter or twelve and scream at these mountie scream-lords to play it.
Yeah, but it's a game that Woolie has namedropped once or twice, and I want a chance to gauge how much these scrublords know about Fate as a whole. So far, it's just a UBW reference in the LA Noire playthrough. More data is needed.
Well one thing is for sure, our boys will claim to know the lore, but probably get everything wrong.
"See, Rider is actually Sakura from the future..." - Pat 2019
Archer is actually Shirou's dad. Trust Pat. He watched Fate/Zero, and he knows there's a guy named Emiya there too.
NOBODY wants Unlimited Codes? That's fucking cold and I doubt it. They have done far worse.
From the moment the best friends started friday night fisticuffs, i knew it was inevitable, the one day they would finally play this game. And now that that the videos here it only makes me all the sadder that liam senpai wassnt here to play it. He could have been the only one who knew what umineko was.
One year and a readthrough of Umineko later, I return to this episode to realize how fuckin' great it is watching people who know nothing about Umineko try to understand Umineko.
16:52 I’m not trapped in here with you... you’re trapped in here with me!
That BGM. Those animations. The... Fanart?
Who else saw the thumbnail and was like "...Liam, you back?" lol
Oh I remember seeing that character in Saltybet.
Yeah that one.
too bad they didn't anything about the Umineko series (VN novel same as Higurashi or When They Cry), everything include moves, background, references, diaologues and OST are related to it. Too bad they can''t appreciate more
saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame
Visual novels are objectively garbage. They did not miss much.
Null/Loun clearly you have not read them, not even one episode
GreenC isn't umineko a horror manga like higurashi?
well yeah it's same author who wrote Higurashi, and the original was Visual Novel game before they made anime/manga/novel even a fight game. The story is 100 times more complex, if you read Higurashi before you should've understand
Its like Weird anime castlevania side characters that never get screen time
well this is something I never expected to see them playing. watching them experience all of umineko's ridiculousness all at once is something...
