First few rounds of Worms are always gonna be rough trying to figure out the controls and what does what. But with persistance you can get past that treshold and into Gamer Terrirtoy. It's not hard to imagine Jones getting there if he wanted to, but for the sake of this video it's good that they're all on the same skill level, lol.
Part of worms' comedy is the unintuitive controls. Like "shift to jump", and "space to select". I feel like part of this game's fun is the unintentional blunders
"If me making silly mistakes and dying in Bloodborne counts, then Dan killed me so many times." *makes a silly mistake and shoots the floor beneath his own feet while aiming at Dan the worm.* "Well, you got him."
I still play Worms W.M.D regularly with a friend. It really helps to go in a make a custom scheme to speed up the pace of the game. I turn off crafting and related drops, remove a bunch of the junk from the crate drops, and adjust weapon turn delays. Also try artillery mode, which makes it so you can't move your worms except for using tools, so there's no dropping dynamite and running.
The score at the end of the warmiest episode of Battle of the Dans 2024! Wins Dan "Beta" Floyd - 4 Dan "B" Jones - 8 Dan "2" Emmons - 7 Jones - 1 Dans - 1 Duck - 1 Dan Wizard - 1 Daisy - 1 Nodan - 1 Losses Wario - 1 Remember, these scores are just for fun, and mean nothing at all!
Jones: 3 Emmons: 3 Floyd: 3 All tied up! 0:38 I would play more, but I have nobody to play with, and most of those games I curb stomp without trying, and they get salty and never want to play again. 2:56 Jones playing the correct way. Also, I've had this conversation a lot over the years. 4:10 This is a game of WORMS, comedy is assured. 5:46 I can't tell, are Jones's NPCs or Danhunters? 6:05 You would think that. Even on N64, it was insanity figuring out controls. 10:45 Note the Crafting tab. I wasn't sure how I felt about WORMS getting crafting, but it's kinda fun. 18:00 F 22:16 Ah, Jones has remembered/discovered one of the most busted tricks in WORMS. 22:42 Yea, that tracks. 23:06 You think you'll know what you're doing next round? I doubt it, but maybe. 27:11 Ah, Concrete Donkey, a true classic. 27:56 One I've not seen, fascinating. 35:51 I mean... yes. Do I think you could make it work? No. 36:15 Yea, Jones used what I was thinking of. The game expects you to just know stuff, that you can't know. Been that way as long as I can remember. 39:17 👏👏👏 40:24 That statement is more true than you realise. 56:36 I love seeing people learn Homing Missiles. 1:00:38 Oh no... I know what that does. 1:00:50 I'm kinda amazed at that outcome. 1:01:39 Yea, that's more Banana Bomb numbers. 1:08:18 Two turns in a row where tiny bumps ruin the shot. 1:14:31 Emmons found the thing!
I haven't played _Worms W.M.D,_ but between extensively playing _Worms Armageddon_ in my childhood and picking it up on Steam for the occasional bit of nostalgia, I think I could scrape out a win against Dans, as long as none of them teamed up against me. I might be able to win against all three if I went for the throat while they were still learning the controls and told a few carefully-timed lies about how the weapons work. 21:35-50: Highlight candidate. 41:15: They used to be nothing but a worse bazooka. This is an improvement. 53:44: You ain't seen nothing yet. Armageddon has a Sheep Launcher. And a Sheep Strike. And a Mad Cow. And a Super Sheep. And an Aqua Sheep. 1:23:30: More of a dynamite situation, I'd say.
In a weird and convoluted way, I first met my current partner of two decades in a game of Worms Armageddon, so I will always have a fondness for that version in particular that can't be overshadowed.
Oh hey, the bit I identified as a highlight candidate was chosen as a candidate. Either Dan looks at the comments when selecting highlights, or he independently recognized the same highlight-worthy qualities I did.
I would actually really just enjoy more Worms Weapons of Mass Dan-struction if y'all ever feel like doing some more of this. This and Rounds are a welcome episode anytime.
29:46 Idk if it’s just me or not, but, with the intense background music, the first few worm movement squeaks were pretty close to the first few notes of the Mission: Impossible theme for me. 😂
I LOVE Worms lets plays. I have been watching Achievement Hunter/Regulation Crew play it for years now and it's so fun seeing the Dans play who are so different and yet so equally entertaining
The nostalgia, oh my god. The stupid worm names. The accidentally blowing yourself up in the first second of your turn. The taking a goddamn year to figure out how to get better weapons. Man, I want to play Worms again.
Who do you think will win? Even though Dan is doing well, I think that Dan will put up a good fight. However, I think in the end Dan will be victorious despite Dan and Dan trying their best.
I know this is unrelated to Worms, but have you heard of a game called Big Boy Boxing? It's a boss rush game inspired by Punch-out with Cuphead's cartoony aesthetic and seems to be coming out soon. Your first video on New Frame Plus analyzed Wii Punch-out. Maybe when it comes out, you can analyze it as homage to your first video?
Oh I love that playthrough as a series, Dan and I had a grand time recording it. It's just the game Banjo-Tooie itself that Dan and I ultimately aren't big fans of.

I CANT BELIEVE DAN WON
SPOILERS!!
I had faith in him! :D
I was really hoping that Dan won.
Not first round he didn't
@@ahandsomefridge Fair point, but what a comeback!
I enjoy the fact that Dans Floyd and Jones seem to have designed the themes of their worm armies specifically to troll one another.
Floyd: Fore!
Me, by sheer reflex: Three, sir. Three.
In some ways, it's kind of nice to know there's a game Dan Jones is maybe not so good at.
It will perennially surprise me that there are people who can be called good at Worms. Worms has always felt like a game that happens to people.
First few rounds of Worms are always gonna be rough trying to figure out the controls and what does what. But with persistance you can get past that treshold and into Gamer Terrirtoy. It's not hard to imagine Jones getting there if he wanted to, but for the sake of this video it's good that they're all on the same skill level, lol.
Floyd's team should have been called the Kablooie's.
Or consider: The Tooie Crew-ie
All 3 teams called Dan's and every worm named Dan would also be a good one in this context :D
Banjo Kablooie
35:17 So sad to see Floyd seeing "nothing useful, but at least something entertaining" and passing up the banana bomb which would be both.
Part of worms' comedy is the unintuitive controls. Like "shift to jump", and "space to select". I feel like part of this game's fun is the unintentional blunders
What do you call it when the worms finally conquer the world?
Global Worming
Can't believe that isn't an official title yet.
"If me making silly mistakes and dying in Bloodborne counts, then Dan killed me so many times."
*makes a silly mistake and shoots the floor beneath his own feet while aiming at Dan the worm.*
"Well, you got him."
"From Downtown..." 23:16 I see what you did there.
Making my ~way~ day
Love the psychological warfare coming in with Floyd and Jones teams. Am also genuinely impressed with how many times Jones took out his own team 🤣
War. War never changes.
Dan... Dan never changes.
No Dan wins in war
Worm...Worm never changes.
Warm*
Wormonger Dan.
Man, Worms is always such a RUclips nostalgia trip. Really just timeless fun.
the from downtown edit was immaculate. thank you Kerry.
They missed the opportunity for army of the Danned!
"That almost worked." isn't the title ): I was lied too
It is the description though, so perhaps less of a lie and more of a misdirection.
Floyd explodes the sea, emons explode terrain while jones explodes himself.
Beautiful
Go Dan!
Well that *almost* worked!

Talk about a blast from the past!!
I sure hope Dan wins

23:15
Carrie, I want you to know your little edits will always be appreciated, and never fail to bring a smile to my face. 😂💙
Jones: 3
Emmons: 3
Floyd: 3
All tied up!
0:38 I would play more, but I have nobody to play with, and most of those games I curb stomp without trying, and they get salty and never want to play again.
2:56 Jones playing the correct way. Also, I've had this conversation a lot over the years.
4:10 This is a game of WORMS, comedy is assured.
5:46 I can't tell, are Jones's NPCs or Danhunters?
6:05 You would think that. Even on N64, it was insanity figuring out controls.
10:45 Note the Crafting tab. I wasn't sure how I felt about WORMS getting crafting, but it's kinda fun.
18:00 F
22:16 Ah, Jones has remembered/discovered one of the most busted tricks in WORMS.
22:42 Yea, that tracks.
23:06 You think you'll know what you're doing next round? I doubt it, but maybe.
27:11 Ah, Concrete Donkey, a true classic.
27:56 One I've not seen, fascinating.
35:51 I mean... yes. Do I think you could make it work? No.
36:15 Yea, Jones used what I was thinking of. The game expects you to just know stuff, that you can't know. Been that way as long as I can remember.
39:17 👏👏👏
40:24 That statement is more true than you realise.
56:36 I love seeing people learn Homing Missiles.
1:00:38 Oh no... I know what that does.
1:00:50 I'm kinda amazed at that outcome.
1:01:39 Yea, that's more Banana Bomb numbers.
1:08:18 Two turns in a row where tiny bumps ruin the shot.
1:14:31 Emmons found the thing!
Mr. Fit had it coming.💣

27:08 Don't mess with donkey.
I can't believe nobody said "You ain't got no legs, Lieutenant Dan."
The donkey genuinely made me laugh out loud, audible from the next room. This game is amazing.
Dan Jones is going to the dark side! (Worms players who tunnel and use girders to hide)
I just randomly realized that "daemon" is an anagram of "emo dan"
I never really thought about it, but the terribly finicky movement is perfect for maximizing comedy.
17:05 *Canary Mary flashbacks*
I LOVE Worms lets plays. I have been watching Achievement Hunter/Regulation Crew play it for years now and it's so fun seeing the Dans play who are so different and yet so equally entertaining
I hope we see more Worms! Especially now that they know crafting exists lol
I was hoping to see Dan win, but I was pretty happy to see Dan win instead, it was a solid competition and exciting from start to finish.
Gawd I remember playing the very first Worms game in university
I could watch Dans battle worms every day. Quality comedy
The nostalgia, oh my god. The stupid worm names. The accidentally blowing yourself up in the first second of your turn. The taking a goddamn year to figure out how to get better weapons. Man, I want to play Worms again.
The Dans *really* captured the essence of the Worms experience, here, didn't they?
Missed opportunity to point out that Lt. Dan ain't got no legs.
Lieutenant Dan ain't got no legs.
I forsee the future, the final rounds shall be rounds!
the worms series is perfect for this kind if thing
Who do you think will win? Even though Dan is doing well, I think that Dan will put up a good fight. However, I think in the end Dan will be victorious despite Dan and Dan trying their best.
That homing missile was so satisfying.
The Battle of the Dans, it's not heated.... but it is warm 40:30
I am six minutes in and I have screamed with laughter twice. This is going to be good.
I know this is unrelated to Worms, but have you heard of a game called Big Boy Boxing?
It's a boss rush game inspired by Punch-out with Cuphead's cartoony aesthetic and seems to be coming out soon. Your first video on New Frame Plus analyzed Wii Punch-out. Maybe when it comes out, you can analyze it as homage to your first video?
Hearing them talk about Banjo Tooie is so weird, since that is one of my top 3 series on this channel.
Oh I love that playthrough as a series, Dan and I had a grand time recording it. It's just the game Banjo-Tooie itself that Dan and I ultimately aren't big fans of.
one day we might see a "fourth dan DLC"
Are y'all ever going to hold auditions for a fourth Dan? I don't have any candidates in mind, I'm just curious, lol!
Wait wait wait wait wait, an hour and a half of Battle of the Dans?? How have we gotten so lucky!?
40:12 - dan rules
Okay, but when can we get the Magic The Gathering format "Dandan" on the battle of the Dans?
Oh boy, this is a chunky one.
Someone remind me to remind Will to do another Worms tournament.
Like watching my parents play Starcraft 😄
oooooooooh pls more of this
Seven Dan Army.
WWMD, What weapons of mass destruction?
Saddam Hussein to an increasingly irritated George W. Bush.
the W. also stands for What
💙
Oh, Worms?
Man, comments are full of spoilers about Dan winning this one.
Watching people play Worms badly is the best way to watch Worms.
DAN LOST?!?! NOOOOOOOOO!
I'm really tired of the series! DAN ALWAYS WINS!
I haven't played a Worms game much since about 2000, and wow you guys suck at it :-P
