Not really. After that first Pit match, I was 100% convinced Pit would be taking it home. Then DK came in and I thought "if Pit loses to anyone, that has to be DK". Which was proven right.
It's kinda sad that we live in a time where a 77 out of 100 is considered a "bad" game. I understand this was all based on the scale Nick more or less made up, but he was REALLY harsh on anything lower than an 80. And I'm not pointing at Nick on this one; this is the general trend of the gaming industry in general...
@@justinholland6132I think the scale also is skewed based on the games available in this mod. It’s only games of smash characters, so it’s unlikely to have really badly rated games in it.
@@banjo9158 Really? On whose scale? Even if you were to take an academic scale, a 70 is at least average. Sure, that's not great, but it should be better than most games. A 50 should mean it is right down the middle not "failing".
I love the concept and this was a great video, but it feels like the buffs and nerfs could’ve been… more universal? Like most of the buffs and nerfs were simple. Size changes, speed changes, and strength changes. It made sense. But then you get to DK, who has a buff for Up B distance, and Wario who cannot use Up B. And Sonic’s nerf is his insane speed decrease. I feel like it would’ve been more in line for DK and Wario to get attribute changes (Wario maybe gets a decrease in air speed and DK gets a buff in air speed for example). They just stuck out like sore thumbs.
Yeah I thought this video was pretty dumb like almost all of the characters buffs were like size increase or something useless like he did olimar so dirty
it was kinda poetic that it was the worst character vs one of the best, almost like they both trained for years and had to prove who was the best. although we got the bad ending :(
I was so surprised bc Epic Yarn it's my favorite Kirby game! but also made me see something it's clearly wrong with the critic as always... that CAN'T be the higher for a Kirby game, no Planet Robobot or Forgotten Land? like DUDE
10:48 Man this is the problem with re-releases of older games on metacritic. They get a new score of their game as if it's a new game that came out and people who reviewed the game treated as if it was released that year and not when it actually came out. I know the game itself has it to where some cutscenes are messed up as well as the game in general not being as well designed as the first game, but still. And the worst part is that they treat the first game as if it was the N64 copy, while they treat the second game as if it was only released through rare replay even though both games are on that game so that makes no sense at all!!!
Would love to see a similar idea with flat multipliers based on the first game the character appeared in. For example: Pikachu's multiplier is based on Pokémon Red & Blue, Chrom on Fire Emblem Awakening, et cetera.
Possible mod idea: Characters have their canonical damage buffs for certain opponents. Example: Mega Man's metal blade does extra damage to plant or bubble (water) themed opponents, Roy's Sword of Seals does extra damage dragons (Reptiles) or demon (dark) themed opponents, or Link's Master Sword does extra damage to evil themed opponents.
Now that I think about it, the Fire Emblem characters would be kind of broken, since critical damage bonuses work on a coefficient of three. So, if Marth or Roy fought a reptilian enemy, anytime they use a move with the Exalted Falchion or Sword of Seals (which is literally all of them, excluding throws) then they would do triple damage. Also, Megaman would probably have at least one effective move for every character, given his wide variety of bullshit in his kit.
I'd say the score for KI: Uprising is actually really easy to explain: The control scheme. The game is really fun, the writing is amazing, but god damn the controls can hamper the enjoyment after you play for a while.
U should do this again but based on personal opinion two players split the cast in half based on what games they've played, and then rate the games theyre from, buff and nerf the characters then play each other Like i really like kid icarus uprising and fire emblem 3 houses so id pick those 2, and Dark Pit and Byleth would be really strong. But if i got corrin, id rate their game like a 5/10 so they'd be pretty bad
These hacked CPU tourneys are so fun to watch. How about one where a character gets buffed if the randomly selected stage if from their series? I don't know if that would be possible, but it would be an interesting one to see if it is.
Regarding the Up-B of DK at his fight with Pit. I think Normal jumps are affected by size, but Up-B distance is not. So small DK moves as much as he would move in his original size, that's why it looks like he got buffed in Up-B
I like the idea, and I know it's for the content, but it hurts when you call anything that's still above 75 a "bad game". That's like saying that a 4* restaurant is a bad restaurant because 5* are so much better. I would say when you get below 60 is when people consider them to be very flawed
Kind of bizarre how Pikmin had 2 buffs and both decently high scores for both lowest and highest yet was held back on buff cause a 90 isn't that high. Like bruhhh, justice for Pikmin
@@slitchey not when its compared to the average of every represented game, apparently also its stupid how you can have not a single bad game and still be worse off than a series that has a single 90+ game and the rest is terrible
I really want to see how Ness and Lucas would do with this concept. I would assume they would do quite well. EarthBound and Mother 3 are some of my favorite games of all time.
@@Hes_Gone True, although technically Ness can have two buffs if you were to include his cameo in Mother 3 as an appearance. But not including cameos, yeah just one.

"Pit, we only nerfed him. His games are not good according to Metacritic." ...83/100 is NOT GOOD...? Waitwait, Bayo's 86 is GOOD, but Pit's 83 is NOT GOOD?! I smell bias. EDIT: (Finishes watching match) YOOOO, MY BOY, THAT'S IT! SHOW THE BIASED HATERS!!
I'd love to see this but in a tourney with the Party Crashers gang using trained amiibos whilst arguing about their amiibos AND what the better game is. Also, Nick became literally every Smash Bros. tournament announcer that I've ever heard with his reactions. Noice.
I listen to these videos in the background while I do other stuff and when I heard him say "clutch powers" my brain immediately thought of the movie and got really really excited; and then immediately realized that wasn't what he was talking about
I don't know if the persona one is fair to base on all the games since Joker is only the protag in 5 and its spin-offs but I can see why you'd do it that way.
Yes,I know how 🤓 this is,but still 0:06 as a sonic fan,this fucking boils my blood. Everyone is always like "sonic is so bad,his games are all shit (at least the 3D games)" but all they know is sonic 06 and maybe rise of lyric,but most (mainline,but some spin offs too) sonic games are good,amazing even.

Good game (bad SONIC game tho,it could have completely different characters and it would be the same),the classics? All good,frontiers? Good,the adavance games? Good,the rush games?

For daisy, I would’ve said to use either The Mario land series (as that’s where she first appeared) or even Mario Tennis (first spin off she showed up in) However, Mario Party representation is also needed, so fair play
I want it to be known that in the year Kid Icarus: Uprising came out, it got a 7/10 from Game Informer, which put it just below the minimum score cutoff (7.5/10) to win 3DS game of the year, which the magazine awarded to New Super Mario Bros. 2 It's been 11 years and I still haven't let that go

"no amazing games"
*shows scores of 85/100 and 90/100*
It's nice to see the CPU tourney return!
calling an 86 a "bad game" score is uh. certianly something
This is the most greatest concept i have seen. Nice job, Nick. Cant wait to see more of them.
Possible mod idea: Characters have their canonical damage buffs for certain opponents.
Example: Mega Man's metal blade does extra damage to plant or bubble (water) themed opponents, Roy's Sword of Seals does extra damage dragons (Reptiles) or demon (dark) themed opponents,
or Link's Master Sword does extra damage to evil themed opponents.
Richter's uppecut functioning like it does in SotN would be the 1 buff the Belmonts need to be good.
That sounds like awesome content
Now that I think about it, the Fire Emblem characters would be kind of broken, since critical damage bonuses work on a coefficient of three. So, if Marth or Roy fought a reptilian enemy, anytime they use a move with the Exalted Falchion or Sword of Seals (which is literally all of them, excluding throws) then they would do triple damage. Also, Megaman would probably have at least one effective move for every character, given his wide variety of bullshit in his kit.

U should do this again but based on personal opinion
two players split the cast in half based on what games they've played, and then rate the games theyre from, buff and nerf the characters then play each other
Like i really like kid icarus uprising and fire emblem 3 houses so id pick those 2, and Dark Pit and Byleth would be really strong. But if i got corrin, id rate their game like a 5/10 so they'd be pretty bad

that kazuya went way too crazy bro that's my favorite right there
2:51 all of the pikmin games were amazing (except maybe 3 was only good) and it was one if not the best series to come out of Nintendo. PIKMIN 4 LIFE
Ganon with attacks that take up 3/4 of the screen is just plain fun to watch.
Pretty sure Pit was running on pure drive to end Bayonetta there.
These buffs and nerfs are really interesting. It really changed the matchups for each character
The King of Evil vs the King of Skill, what a matchup
2:16 i love how the editor knows nick well enough to detect he used the wrong your even when speaking
Funny that Kazuya got a buff from Tekken 3 despite not being a playable character in Tekken 3

Regarding the Up-B of DK at his fight with Pit.
I think Normal jumps are affected by size, but Up-B distance is not. So small DK moves as much as he would move in his original size, that's why it looks like he got buffed in Up-B
