For those wondering, defense lowers rings lost when hit, but the defense stats efficiency is also enemy dependent. Weak enemies can become trivial, requiring like 7 hits to kill you, rarer and more dangerous enemies get a small reduction while bosses seem to ignore defense stat, or at least I didnt notice a difference.
And yet Magni tanked a solid 3 hits from Squid before dying. Isn't it the opposite? Or is there another factor to it, like having max rings? It did give Sonic a significant speed boost when Magni held 400 rings.
Sketch artist with an unhealthy obsession for sonic malds at the game because of some poorly made or explained mechanic while his older, chill coworker describes in increasing detail throigh fits of laughter the exact way in which the first guy is malding and the things he does after getting up and walking in the room, and the laughter and description only make the first guy more pissed and get him rambling. Yeah it's literally the game grumps dynamic. Even down to big the cat being the cause of conflict.
I was crying of laughter when he was hit by the enemy, the timing, the long pause, Magni reaction and Vesper laugh it was just pure raw comedy gold. Everyone was having a blast for what I can tell, the duo of Vesper and Magni reminds me a lot to Game Grumps. Magni losing all hope and looking to his patner laughing at him with all his might and then rambling about the mechanics of the game, it's just so nostalgic and funny. How I love this boys!
For anyone curious on the anime Ves was quoting, it's called "BOFURI: I don't want to get hurt so I'll max out my defense" It's basically shield hero meets SAO (full dive MMO) but it's light hearted and fun. Season 2 coming in January as well!
Bofuri is the anime Gramps was talking about. Its a light fun mmo anime but its goat for showing off that Tanks can be OP as well as others going VERY specific builds.
The whole fishing segment from that stream was glorious. Both were losing their mind, Mag was getting scammed and Ves was malding about the non accurate fish of that stupid pond.
Honestly, I'm mixed about our reaction to the defense question while it was live. On one hand, Dez thought it would be a good idea to ask for tips on a very recently released game. On the other hand, I feel like I resonated more with Dez and his rage when we bombarded him with troll tips. Probably my villain mindset, then, hahaha~ X"D
@@cervidaequus to be fair, in this game it really is a skill issue most of the time if you fuck up, I’m playing it myself and if I get hit and take damage, 95% of the time it’s my own fault
A laught of Vtuber from the bottom from hes/her/their heart Its always feels so recomfortating but see how the hope in their eyes vanish for a really dumb motive its even more lol
Since this is a new game I'm going to tell you why that happened Megni dezmond is playing on hard mode were you lose rings the classic way with one hit and they're gone Normal mode allows to lose some rings but not all of them just as many as shadow the hedgehog video game Easy mode you lose 5 or 10 rings at best So hard mode with enough defense you can save around a little bit of rings so two hits before they're all gone instead of one.
Ahh so that’s what hard mode does apart from the extra thing at the end of the game. I had no idea since enemies seem to die pretty quickly even at this point if the game
On top of everything else going on in that moment, the tire screech from the enemy right before Magni pauses adds even more to it. That whole situation had perfect comedic timing.
I think he forgot he was playing on hard mode and also that one enemy by default hitting like a truck in comparison to it’s very low health. So while it probably would have done something on normal or easy, it would take a lot more defence to tank a hit from the wheel
Defense stat reduces incoming damage But unfortunately, Sonic is a "dies in one hit" mascot (this is a joke on the general mechanics of games, i have yet to play Frontiers. Plz be kind)
I think it’s half because he’s playing on hard mode and the other half, that one enemy by default hitting like a truck in comparison to it’s very low health
Yeah so 151 rings is nothing on hard. Which is why it seemed like it didn't matter. If he had more it would've made a difference. But it's not like Skyrim where the difference between 1 and 100 is godlike.
Defense is tricky to max out, so its no big deal Unrelated I love maxing out ring counter. You unlock the sonic movie powers and just blast through areas with a lightning boost

tho for the much bigger bosses
Super sonic dosen't take damage
I'm actually playing the game myself, so this info is really helpful.
they should have explained this in the game.
But.. but.. with 30 def, he still lost 141 rings just from a trivial mob enemy...
And yet Magni tanked a solid 3 hits from Squid before dying. Isn't it the opposite? Or is there another factor to it, like having max rings? It did give Sonic a significant speed boost when Magni held 400 rings.
i always love when vesper describes what dez is doing irl
i miss them so much 😢
Vespapa's laugh gives me life 😂
Now thats a title
This was literally the funniest thing watching it live, but also prompted the actual "WHAT DOES DEFENSE DO?" question in a real way.
But the real question has yet to be answered:
"What is defense do?"
It's like luck stat in dark soul
Strong old-school GameGrumps vibes.
*”WHAT IS THIS???“*

Just imagining Dez pausing and staring at Vespapa who is just losing it.
Oh man i came back to this clip for nostalgia.....ended up feeling sad.
This is like when Arin's plan goes incredibly wrong and Dan laughs at his dismay.
The FISHING POLE has been tossed away
That's so true
Man that stream feels like a classic Game Grumps
I was just thinking the same thing!
Grandpa you're laughing, Dez is suffering and you're laughing. Poor Dez 🤣🤣
Guess the best defense is offense, he learned it the hard way xD
“Vesper, go the archives…I need the book of grudges.” -magni probably as he glares at big the cat
Ves is the Dan to Magni’s Aaron
You mean Daniel Avidaniel and Aaron Handsome from the Gum Gramps?!
@@G30R6E93 You're probably thinking of Daymond and Arnold
Eyyy, It's cool too that they watch and know some GG reference.
This has insane Game Grumps energy
Least Magni is good at Sonic games
One of many best moments in this stream, couldn't stop laughing! 😭
I was crying of laughter when he was hit by the enemy, the timing, the long pause, Magni reaction and Vesper laugh it was just pure raw comedy gold.

How I love this boys!
The Game Gramps?
@@Mashamazzi Daniel and Arnold
The best part is that no one knew what defense really does

It's basically shield hero meets SAO (full dive MMO) but it's light hearted and fun. Season 2 coming in January as well!
Awesome I didn’t think a 2nd season would come out so soon
@@RayVela it was slightly delayed but same studio and same cast of VA's so expect the same quality as season 1!
Such a fun show
I didn't expected Vesper to know about Maple
@@robertorojas4952 Dude he was so quick with it too lol mans definitely looking forward to season 2!
The Golden Kamuy reference too .... Thanks for the clip!
This whole stream had peak Game Grumps/Two Best Friends energy.
Bofuri is the anime Gramps was talking about. Its a light fun mmo anime but its goat for showing off that Tanks can be OP as well as others going VERY specific builds.
How to be tank for dummies:
Eating the hell of your enemies
I appreciate grandpa’s description of magni’s reaction 😂 also vesper’s laugh is really everything
Literally "Danny and Arnold" vibes right there xD
vesper mentioning the anime bofuri, the defense anime aaa
Absolutely based
we have a new wheezing HoloMember to add to the collection.
but srsly tho, Vesper's anime references are so on point lmao
I’m so happy vesper knows about golden Kamuy
This has such a Game Grumps feel behind it.
Dez gave his tokens so we can save ours. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The whole fishing segment from that stream was glorious. Both were losing their mind, Mag was getting scammed and Ves was malding about the non accurate fish of that stupid pond.
They really do have old game grumps vibes nd I love it
Vesper's laugh is the best thing ever! xD
This feels too much like a gamegrumps episode
One friendbis giggly and thenother is raging...yep definitely game grumps
Man, this just gets me hyped for the eventual TEMPUS off collab. 🖤🧡💙💜
God, I miss these two.
Vesper's laugh is PURE
Did not expect the maple and golden kamuy reference at all
La risa de Vesper es como... de los mejores sonidos de la vida, no puede ser

It's snowing on mount Fuji
Oh God, I haven't read a good haiku in a while.
@@noonethatspecial Too many syllables at the end. Unless snowing and fuji can be shortened?
"Snow's on Mt. Fuji"
@@rinylvinyl yeah, it's a reference to the Game Grumps 😅
expectation: bofuri
reality:
Vespapa knows Bofuri. What a chad.
this stream was so good. these two together are a goldmine.
I can't even find an explanation of what Defense does lol
What even is the point of defense? I need to know.
apparently it only works on bosses, he lost less rings to the boss
@@Sybato so pretty much what he intended to happen?
It reduces rings lost, but its enemy dependent and those guys do more damage than average
@@kot4311 what a stupid concept in a sonic game… enemies that do more damage
When you lose every ring after being hit anyway
LOVE THE GOLDEN KAMUY REFERENCE!! 🏴☠
sonic:
magni: *morphs into ogata*
Since this is a new game I'm going to tell you why that happened
Megni dezmond is playing on hard mode were you lose rings the classic way with one hit and they're gone
Normal mode allows to lose some rings but not all of them just as many as shadow the hedgehog video game
Easy mode you lose 5 or 10 rings at best
So hard mode with enough defense you can save around a little bit of rings so two hits before they're all gone instead of one.
Thank you for the context. So tldr; he played himself.
He did fight something afterwards, after getting max rings, and it took like 3 or 4 hits before he lost all of them.
Ahh so that’s what hard mode does apart from the extra thing at the end of the game. I had no idea since enemies seem to die pretty quickly even at this point if the game
Vesper with the weab references I'm crying
Somehow, I can hear Dez malding.
Bofuri is god-tier
On top of everything else going on in that moment, the tire screech from the enemy right before Magni pauses adds even more to it. That whole situation had perfect comedic timing.
Oh man it’s been a year already
Now any time Magni suffers due to a stat mechanic in a game, chat needs to spam *WHAT DOES DEFENSE DO?*
Golden Kamuy character, it's the sniper
What anime Vesper was gonna talk about?
Bofuri: I Don't Want To Get Hurt, So I Put All My Points Into Defense, or something like that
Bofuri: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense. Great series by the way. Season 2 comes out maybe next year I believe.
Bofuri's real stupid but real cute and there's a turtle in it, so I recommend it if you want like. K-On! but in a Sword Art Online aesthetic.
I love Maple she's a precious bean
Thank you all.
What do you need defense for in a Sonic game? Just pick up at least 1 ring when you get hit.
but that's a good point and got me thinking. what *is* the point?
I think he forgot he was playing on hard mode and also that one enemy by default hitting like a truck in comparison to it’s very low health. So while it probably would have done something on normal or easy, it would take a lot more defence to tank a hit from the wheel
Vesper's laugh
Lfmao

Unrelated
I love maxing out ring counter. You unlock the sonic movie powers and just blast through areas with a lightning boost
So you're saying, it doesn't stacked up?
Ive watched golden kamuy but i still don't get Ves's gk reference. What does he mean by "dead eyes like in golden kamuy?"
Wait that's a legit sonic game? Why does it look like a unity project?
kekw
What is the namr of that cat again?? I remember that cat spooking around n64 sonic game
Big the Cat
Also its not a N64, its the Dreamcast and Gamecube
what anime vesper referring to?
Bofuri
Bofuri. aka: Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu.
Wow and that anime has been out for a while . Props to you vesper that’s a good anime
Love the clips but that outro is irritating
:(
