Seeing as that was Jane's first time playing DS3, I feel like one day she'll try it with a controller and end up shouting, "What are you talking about? This is SO EASY!"
It was funny and also impressive enough watching them try to survive through phase 1. I think I'd have cracked ribs from laughing if he'd gotten him to phase 2 and had to survive that with a Guitar Hero guitar. That said, phase 2 is easier than phase 1 if you stay in close on him and don't bait out the jumping. Mike could have defeated him, maybe, if he'd gotten him to phase 2.
@@SolaScientia I think you're right, especially if he'd had a few more tries, he'd have been golden. Seemed like he was getting the controls down- pretty impressive, actually!
I've honestly never thought I'd see a Duracell sponsor on a TH-cam video. I've always thought inferior battery companies existed because Duracell legally had to.
“This very much does exist and is taking up a load of space in my house.” Ahh yes, mike demonstrating the “dump it at work” approach to house clearance lol
@@Stewerrvideos Fender's website helpefully points out that "tremolo" bars actually add vibrato, not tremolo (but then continues to sell them as tremolo bridges anyway), so +1 for whammy bar
When I was working as a QA tester we had to test xbox games with all the funky controllers because it was a feature that all pheripherics were supposed to be compatible with all games. Fighting games on a dance mat is not as fun as it sounds
Honestly I totally would watch a two hour Livestream of them doing this. As for Guitar Hero I still have a working PS2, original guitar controller and almost all the games so I totally could marathon play them all... If I was motivated to find where I stashed the controller...and the PS2. I do know where the games are though LOL.
Here's what I like about Duracell ads: they just sell their product. There's no ladies in bikinis amazed some guy is using duracell, or someone's hair blowing back when they slot it in to a voice saying "extreme". No, they just go "you need batteries and ours last longer."
I mean, Jane's role in that intro was to smile dazzlingly, and 3/4 of the audience probably would have swooned too badly to pay attention to the ad if Andy had been in a bikini...
Once again Mike proves himself to be the best, Andy proves himself to be a try-hard, and Jane proves herself to be the funniest to watch. I love you all, don't ever change.
Lol wow, I guess Duracell caught wind of that comment the team made a while back about their less-than-effective partnership with Adam Wake and agreed with them.
Drop attacks and Gundyr with a guitar controller. Someone tell Link he's no longer the bravest. Also, I'm pretty confident Andy's been playing ds3 on the dl, what with those moves.
Next sponsored one like this you've gotta camp it up so much 😂 Regardless it's great seeing a 'silly' challenge like this. I'd love to see what Luke could do in Souls on the guitar hero controller 😂
So can we say that you, playing other games with a guitar controller, were doing a JAM session? That was pretty fun to watch. 😀 (Interestingly, JAM is the combination of the first letter of the names of the hosts).
Andy secretly always plays with the rock guitar control. There is no other explanation that hes so good. Also love how excited Mike is to play Dark Souls 3 with Andy and Jane
I don't understand from Duracell's perspective, why oxbox as the advertisers, but the video was still great so as long as content is still good. Make that dough
This sponsorship challenge and the one Zullie the Witch did (sponsor was for shaving tools and the challenge was to shave Dark Souls NPCs) did are so funny and creative.
I was wiping tears away honestly! Thank you so much for keeping me laughing! Also - may or may not have just bought my first oxbox merch (60 skeletons tee)...never have I been more impatient! 🤣
“All I’m doing is keeping away” Not even a whole second later, gets stabbed in the back. But good god, getting yeeted on your last attempt after surviving for almost three minutes the previous turn in hilarious xD
You just reminded me of my favorite time for this channel Xmas challenge omg I'm going to watch the old ones it's what got me into this channel in the first place I just don't play many games right now
mike, your hubris cost you in the dark souls challenge xD really good last attempt from Jane there. this was so much fun! would totally be down to watch more challenges like this one. congrats to Andy on his win!
Whammy bar and tremolo arm are both accepted terms for the bar, btw. Usually whammy bar is associated with Floyd Rose style bridges, and tremolo is associated with vintage style trems, but we use them interchangeably all of the time.
That classic Sonic catchphrase - "Gotta walk carefully!"
Ah yes don't forget his favorite food: vegan hot dogs

I must arrive at an optimum pace.

Only an idea this fun would make me watch a battery commercial this long. Quite creative!
as a none mobil user: what ad/commercial? ;)
@@nowhereman6360 oh how I wish platform changes got rid of product placement lol
@@nowhereman6360 the video was sponsored by a battery company. Mike had a little segment talking about the particulars before they started playing.

@@ewarwoowar9938 what i meant was -> "skip forward" over the commercial ^^
Jane was born to be a bassist. Look at that power stance.
If she has her foot on a wedge monitor (chair) then definitely.
Born to be a bassist? That’s not a nice thing to say
As a bassist myself, don't put that on her, she doesn't need that kind of curse.
I was scrolling past the comments and I misread this as "Jesus was born to be a bassist" and I could not agree more.
@@llRoBoBinHoll ahh, all those "basist" jokes 😂
I appreciate that you guys are so clear about sponsored content, and that you make sure it's still entertaining. Get that bag! (Responsibly)
I loved this! Jane screaming "the bad place" and struggling so hard to get that crab absolutely made my day.
Seeing as that was Jane's first time playing DS3, I feel like one day she'll try it with a controller and end up shouting, "What are you talking about? This is SO EASY!"
I feel like Andy's contorted posture is the visual representation of what playing Dark Souls actually feels like
Mike: "I've nearly got him down to half health!"
Jane: *Dubious noise*
That was my favorite part of the vid.

@@dorabrooks76 I'm also impressed. They all did well on all 3 games; better than I'd have done.
Followed by Andy getting grabbed, impaled, then thrown over the edge.
“All guitars have all songs in them, you just have to figure out how to unlock them.” That’s a hell of a quote.
It’s like saying all the dictionaries have all the books in them
Andy: *survives 2 whole minutes*
Gundyr: "-and I took that personally..."
This channel is so authentic I would think they just used a sponsor as an excuse to do this 😂
Andy and Jane were secretly practicing their dark souls guitar skills for weeks no doubt
I've honestly never thought I'd see a Duracell sponsor on a TH-cam video. I've always thought inferior battery companies existed because Duracell legally had to.
Duracell better double how much they're paying because this is such a creative and funny idea!
But Duracell came up with it
"Frantically stealing the batteries from the TV remote" I didn't come here to be attacked.
DDR dance pad with Tekken is really fun, especially with kick heavy characters.
I've just realised there should be VRsupported fighting games, how are there not any?
@@rufusholland5485 I think there are a few. Remember the Kinect fighting game though? Lol
@@rufusholland5485 I think it'd has to be something like Hellish Quart or Bushido Blade for it to work well with VR.
How are we defining fun? Lol
This needs to be a Xmas challenge
*an xmas challenge (sorry).
You're turning into gimmick speedrunnners who play games with the wrong controller for fun....and I'm all here for it.
Crab during Jane’s playthrough: “It’s over Sonic! I have the high ground!”
"NoooOooOOoooo!!!!"
Jane: You underestimate my power!
Crab: Don't try it!
Jane: *Jumps onto blast fire* I HATE YOU!!
Jane's expression in the thumbnail. Professionalism meets child-like dedication.
Looks like your classic whammy situation
“This very much does exist and is taking up a load of space in my house.”
Ahh yes, mike demonstrating the “dump it at work” approach to house clearance lol
This was so fun! Hope you guys make this a Christmas challenge. Imagine trying to play Hitman like this!
Y E S!
YES, PLEASE. I NEED TO SEE IT NOW
With a fishing controller
I love that Mike put air quotes around "expert" for racing games. Its like he knew he'd crash during the race lol
Do you ever just see the title of a video and immediately just Know that "oh, this is going to be Glorious".
Andy = Tremolo arm
Mike = "no, it's a whammy bar"
Mike arguing with an actual guitarist. Nice.
It's a guitar hero controller, not a guitar. Completely different beasts.
Been playing guitar 20 years. Never heard it been called anything but a whammy bar.
@@Stewerrvideos Fender's website helpefully points out that "tremolo" bars actually add vibrato, not tremolo (but then continues to sell them as tremolo bridges anyway), so +1 for whammy bar
@Merissa J And that's where we all win!
When I was working as a QA tester we had to test xbox games with all the funky controllers because it was a feature that all pheripherics were supposed to be compatible with all games.
Fighting games on a dance mat is not as fun as it sounds
You know these guys are great when: they can get me to voluntarily watch and enjoy an ad for batteries.
Jane's last attempt at Iudex Gundyr is the best thing I watched in a while!
Jane: I can do this all day
Me: Because you're using new Duracell Optimum batteries?
I absolutely love this! Its funny, it's different, and it's a better advertisement for Duracell than Alan Wake Lol
This Should be an Oxbox Christmas challenge. Or an oxtra pikachu drawing challenge 🤣
this is possibly the best thing they've done since coming back from pandemic separation.
Honestly I totally would watch a two hour Livestream of them doing this.

Wrong controller challenges need dark souls. It's a neccessary part of the franchise.
I think someone beat dark souls with a pizza controller
this was a pure hit of serotonin to the brain, i laughed the whole time. i missed you guys being in the same space together! this was perfect
Thank you, Duracell, for sponsoring some of my favourite people to do something so ridiculous and delightful! I certainly will consider your product!
I would love to see them try to play dark souls with the Donkey Kong Jungle Beat Controller which are Bongos
*delighted ZeroLenny noises
@@gruggerduggerhoose I had to bring it up because it was my most favorite Donkey Kong game that I used to own
Uncontrollably based
That controller needs to come back out for an X-mas challenge. Brilliant stuff
Mike: I did it, I cleared the level!
Andy: *speedruns whole thing*
Jane: 'Alright crab, it's you and me...'
Once again Mike proves himself to be the best, Andy proves himself to be a try-hard, and Jane proves herself to be the funniest to watch. I love you all, don't ever change.
Lol wow, I guess Duracell caught wind of that comment the team made a while back about their less-than-effective partnership with Adam Wake and agreed with them.
Andy playing dark souls looked like he was shredding a sick solo :D
It would be awesome to see some one take the video of them playing and put it to music.

Also, I'm pretty confident Andy's been playing ds3 on the dl, what with those moves.
Andy vs Ellen Dark-Souls-off in the future?
At 20:33 Andy is kind of hard to hear, but he made me laugh so hard...
This is giving me flashbacks to the time folks were trying to play the first Soul Calibur with a fishing rod
Next sponsored one like this you've gotta camp it up so much 😂
Regardless it's great seeing a 'silly' challenge like this. I'd love to see what Luke could do in Souls on the guitar hero controller 😂
I love the fact that you all make even the paid/sponsored content fun to watch.
My only regret is that none of you dressed as rock stars.
6:48 Jane's laugh is adorable!
Can we just have Mike narrate all the TH-cam ads we get from now on? I would actually pay attention lol
Okay hear me out... Hitman with the Guitar Hero controller.
This is the most brilliant bit of advertising in ages. Awesome work, guys! 😊
"Hey man you know any songs?"
"Yeah I can play the first level of Sonic."
"Let's hear it."
[presses two buttons and flails guitar around]
"The songs are already in the guitar, you just have to figure out how to coax them out" sounds like Andy's being facetious but he's not wrong.
It's all those peripherals Andy won the trade-in challenge with finally rescued from his attic
So can we say that you, playing other games with a guitar controller, were doing a JAM session?
That was pretty fun to watch. 😀
(Interestingly, JAM is the combination of the first letter of the names of the hosts).
"Eat it you big fish" my favourite insult to a baddie in a game.
"All the songs are in the guitar, you just need to find a way to get them out."
So very zen, Andy.
Andy secretly always plays with the rock guitar control. There is no other explanation that hes so good.
Also love how excited Mike is to play Dark Souls 3 with Andy and Jane
10:13 "you peeped when you should've creeped!" Has me dying💀 that crucial mistake
Well I guess this is as close to seeing Jane do a dark souls play through as I will ever see, and it was great.
As an amateur luthier, can confirm that the songs get inserted as you build the instrument. Well done all! :)
How do you handle songs that come out after the guitar is sold?
@@Eric-bq8nd That's the performer's problem! ;) Although I hear there is this technique called 'prak-tiss' which allows for new songs to be added...
Thanks!
Jane: What are the stakes? What is the prize?
Mike: *Eternal Glory.*
Jane: [disappointed] Aw...
Great video and subtle reminder that the glorious time for Xmas challenges is almost upon us!
OX : How many times should we say the name of the sponsor?
Duracell : Yes.
9:13 "Sonic is tired kids" 🤣
Whoever designed this challenge: you're a genius! This is brilliant!
Tilt as jump, the literal most importantly button in a platformer, was an interesting choice
If I had a guitar hero controller, I'd totally try to beat a Dark Souls game with one
I have never had so much fun watching anyone play sonic before 😂
11:56
"-How did you clear that ?!
-Easily !"
Dang Andy !
I'd really like to see this return as an Xmas challenge for Luke and Ellen
playing sonic with a guitar hero controller had no business being as hilarious as it was
I can already imagine the utter chaos and I've only just started the video 🤣
This feels very old school oxbox, and I love it.
I remember playing different games with the guitar controller. Still got three of those guitars in the garage, and they probably still work.
That thumbnail! 😂🤘🏼 Jane has never looked more metal
I don't understand from Duracell's perspective, why oxbox as the advertisers, but the video was still great so as long as content is still good. Make that dough
well, why the Guitar Hero controller is easy... it's battery powered and having the batteries fail means you stop playing at a bad time.
This sponsorship challenge and the one Zullie the Witch did (sponsor was for shaving tools and the challenge was to shave Dark Souls NPCs) did are so funny and creative.
I'm almost ready to believe that Andy did keep all of his peripherals
[Edit] fully ready. He's too good at this
I would love to see more videogames attempted like this? Maybe should be an xmas challenge
Please, Disney - it's about time for a sponsored trip to every theme park in the world for these legends.
I was wiping tears away honestly! Thank you so much for keeping me laughing!
Also - may or may not have just bought my first oxbox merch (60 skeletons tee)...never have I been more impatient! 🤣
I love how everyone is color coded
This was awesome! I hope to see you guys do more challenges like this!
Jane with that hotwheels jingle was nostalgic just to hear someone else say out loud instead of just in my head anytime I see hotwheels anything.
“All I’m doing is keeping away” Not even a whole second later, gets stabbed in the back. But good god, getting yeeted on your last attempt after surviving for almost three minutes the previous turn in hilarious xD
Jane: Stab, stab, stab!
Me: *crying* He's already dead!
I imagine Tetris effect would be pretty cool with a GH controller.
Not the crossover we were expecting, but the one we needed!
This was so fun to watch! I was in stitches all the way through!!! XD
You just reminded me of my favorite time for this channel Xmas challenge omg I'm going to watch the old ones it's what got me into this channel in the first place I just don't play many games right now
"i see no difference between this and the way you usually play.."
🤣..and probably soo many more gems to come..
thanks for the laughs always!
Excellent video, thank you OXBox and Durecell!
Ahhh yes, the legendary fights:
David vs Goliath. Rocky vs Creed. Jane vs that one crab in Green Hill Zone.
mike, your hubris cost you in the dark souls challenge xD really good last attempt from Jane there. this was so much fun! would totally be down to watch more challenges like this one. congrats to Andy on his win!
Mike looks so pleased with himself during the intro.
Now this.... this Wrong Controller Challenge should be included in the Christmas Challenge. It's a fun treat to watch.
