Lots of Barret gameplay requests lately, so here we are! By his very design, Barret isn't meant to be played in the fast paced aggressive nature of Cloud and Tifa and his damage output over a typical boss fight can't hope to get near Aerith but I wanted to get as close to the pace I like to play at, within the constraints of his slower mechanics as possible. Overall from what I see, it seems he's the least favourite for most people to play, but for those that do enjoy Barret's combat I hope I've done him some justice for you! 💪🔥Oh also, for anyone under utilising Point Blank... don't. Have fun guys!
Thanks for this! Barret is an underdog character in many ways, but he deserves his time to shine. I weirdly enjoy playing him a lot, despite how clunky he is. He clearly was balanced around lower-level gameplay. Like most games with a tank character, top level play obsoletes them by not needing a tank at all. So he's just not as valuable for a top player like you, and his solos are the toughest. All the more reason they're great to watch!
@@Dowdzy9999 Its Point Blank man. Stick it on an enemy whos almost dead, then run around in circles to mock them while they wait to explode. That one move makes Barret so much more fun, its a damn shame he gets it so late. His deadly dodge with HP Absorb is actually pretty damn good too, and Overrun and Overcharge are amazing ATB build tools. He's just too slow to truly style on enemies. I've been racking my brain for ways he could be better besides just "make him less slow" which is part of his character, and the only things I've thought of are allowing his defensive buffs to link to allies through a weapon ability, and giving him some sort of landmine attack that he can use to control space and stun enemies while he attacks them with his slow/strong attacks. Maybe have the mine blow enemies towards him so it can combo into Charging/Smackdown/Point Blank. I see lots of potential here to make him more fun without while keeping his slow tank role intact.
Great video, on side note, i found the fight vs failed experiment hilarious^^ Tifa and Barrett nod at each other, as in "Are you thinking what i am thinking?" "Uh! Let's go!", and then she transforms into a frog ^^'
@@Dowdzy9999 The Reno & Rude fight tho! Listen I think my hand is back to where I can massacre anyone but can I borrow like 2 minutes of your time or whatever black materia you have? 😂
Barret: How am I gonna stop some big mean Mother-Hubbard from tearin' me a structurally superfluous new behind? The answer? Use a gun. And if that don't work, use more gun.
I was initially put off by melee Barret but when I tried him out he was extremely fun and satisfying. Both ranged and melee Barret also have equally satisfying triangle specials.
@@Dowdzy9999 Just subbed! Hope you do "How to play Red XIII like a BOSS" when Rebirth comes out next year 😇 And Rebirth Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Aerith and Yuffie too. And maybe the other characters too if they make an appearance. It'd be really funny if you make Cait Sith work with your playstyle 😂 And maybe Zack too if he's playable lol
damn bro.... you take this game to it's limit...to it's best and i love you for it a lot of problems with this remake....but your videos make it all worth while
this guy is fuckin god tier ...i love it i haven't been this into a pro gamer on youtube in a while....last one was saikyomog....and he died in real life :( point is...i love your videos.. Please post all build info because im a fkin novice ....
Staggering an enemy fills just over a third of your limit gauge. Magnified Aerora against the Shoats instantly staggers them. Casting it then using a limit before the staggers register means you'll have some of your guage refilled instantly, as you're using the current limit break.

@@Ultinarok47 spot on man! Glad you enjoyed it. I did too, more than I thought I would! 👊

Some nice ideas there. I do enjoy your theory crafting! 😁
I watched this 3x today!
God, Barret's JP Voice Actor has so much aggresive energy it fits well in this video.
Agree with you there man! Gotta say they nailed the VA across the board, both English and JP 👍
Great video, on side note, i found the fight vs failed experiment hilarious^^

When you can make Barret look OP, you know you're on another level. Jeez!
Barret is already OP tho
Aw, Barret is liven the dream, being a leader, and a role model
I will never understand how you pulled off a melee build against the damn Valkyrie lmao. Great stuff as always 🙌
Thanks Chad! 👊👍
It's hilarious when Rude and Reno make their badass quotes while Barret is pinning them down with his overcharge
Damn that ass whipping you gave the Valkyrie was impressive.
Ending it with Overrun was epic... love it bro
Thanks man I really appreciate it! 🔥
Point Blank + LB, was something I never thought would be a good combo.
Phenomenal, absolutely Phenomenal! Well done brother!
All character are fun to play with. Barret the type to just grow on you after a while
Yeah definitely. Everyone has their favourites and they all have different strengths and weaknesses. It's part of what makes the game so fun to play 🔥
the scorpion fight was HAM!!
Good God! This is absolutely nuts!
Much appreciated bro 👊

I was waiting for this. I thought you were not gonna do Barret's solo.
Hope you enjoyed it buddy 👍 had a few requests recently including yourself so thought I'd give it a go 🔥
😦 That's Barret!? How did you do that quick Dodge? 12:55 It's like Tifa's dodge
It's the parry materia, looks more exaggerated than it usually is as the boss of swiping in the opposite direction. Lets you keep attacking momentum!
@@Dowdzy9999 Oh I see✨ Thanks!
Holy shit, countering Scorpion's Tail Laser with Catastrophe is some DBZ stuff
Haha yeah man glad you enjoyed it! 🔥💪

Awesome! Barret is badass
Thanks man!
Your melee Barret is amazing! And also, you just made me love Point Blank. I never used that skill 😂 It seemed so underwhelming when I used it lol
Glad you enjoyed it dude! Point blank is awesome and it looks cool too which is always a bonus 😁
@@Dowdzy9999 Just subbed! Hope you do "How to play Red XIII like a BOSS" when Rebirth comes out next year 😇
And Rebirth Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Aerith and Yuffie too.
And maybe the other characters too if they make an appearance.
It'd be really funny if you make Cait Sith work with your playstyle 😂
And maybe Zack too if he's playable lol
Holy cow I never seen Arsenal/ Hundred gunner do purple bahamut/ four kings (dark souls) like homing lights. Pretty.
damn bro.... you take this game to it's limit...to it's best
and i love you for it
a lot of problems with this remake....but your videos make it all worth while
Impressive, very impressive
Thanks very much! 👊💪
Would love to see materia and equipement for every boss
Dude, you should do the FF13-2 Arena battles since the game got 60 FPS boost treatment by the Xbox backwards compatibility team
I've never actually played that, is it decent?
@@Dowdzy9999 They are tough if you don't know what you are doing, have a look at some videos and see for yourself
Holy shit that arsenal fight
I know pretty intense stuff right? 😁
I mean i dont think you could have played it any more perfectly. Good stuff m8
Hey what is your materia swt up ??
this guy is fuckin god tier ...i love it
i haven't been this into a pro gamer on youtube in a while....last one was saikyomog....and he died in real life :(
point is...i love your videos..
Please post all build info because im a fkin novice ....
Appreciate the support bro 👊
Barret in Steelskin mode + Magic materia linked with Elemental on armor + Point Blank = Monster level
He's great if you use him correctly that's for sure 🔥💪
Thanks , God bless you ❤❤🙏🙏
My pleasure Knight. Take care!
How did you get limit 3 times against Abzu
