Today's vidya essay is a short one, but I hope you guys enjoyed this three course meal of sorts (and I especially hope you stayed to enjoy dessert). Check the description for more, like songs used and other places you can find me :) Also, Trepang2 is the first game shown, and REAVER is the colourful movement shooter I’m flying all over the place in. Great game demos which I highly recommend you give a go!
I was so confused as to why there were so many comments saying that the word "entrée" is the same as the main, but I've just realised that the vast majority of peeps here are American. Here's a quick excerpt from Wikipedia: "The word entrée as a culinary term first appears in print around 1536, in the Petit traicté auquel verrez la maniere de faire cuisine, in a collection of menus at the end of the book. There, the first stage of each meal is called the entree de table (entrance to the table)." In France and basically every other country with English-speakers, the meaning of "entrée" has and currently remains to be referring to a dish that comes before the main; of course, this means it comes first in a three-course meal. From what I've gathered through a bit of research, it seems like America and some parts of Canada decided to change up the meaning of the word... Not too sure what the reason could be!
Parrying is basically the "Rule" instead if the exception, the coolest thing you can do in a video game. And i also can't help but smile when i pull off a stylish chargeback.
Fun fact, you can chargeback ANY hitscan in ULTRAKILL. This goes from V2's charged beam in 1-4, to the ferryman's lightning in 5-2. Even the eyes and malicious faces that the Flesh Prison spawns in at the first prime sanctum are chargebackable. Just a little fun fact for you. :)
V2 and the eyes are fun to “chargeback” although I felt including those really specific interactions would be confusing for people; Also, do watch til the end if u can :)
Actually, there is one... Minos Prime's "DIE" and "CRUSH" are both classified as hitscan attacks, yet they cannot be chargebacked, because, you know, it's fucking minos.
@@Thebooooy Technically all of the hitscan accounts I'm referencing are classed as "Enemy" Revolvers, allowing them to be chargebacked by the revolver's coins.
you doing chargebacks in the most flashiest way makes me think if the majority of players(including me) doing a single chargeback is the most simplest thing to do
@@EreNyn3 i still have no idea wtf a charge back is? is it just that an enemy fires lazers, and you set up mirrors to redirect said lazer back to them? so its parrying but long range, cause parry comes from sword fighting, a charge back is just redirecting their attack through other things back to them? cause parrying an energy blast with a shield, like in BoTW, is a parry cause you needed to be in melee range with the blast to return it, but a charge back is taking said energy attacking and having it travel either immediately back or to other mirrors back to the enemy? is that it?
@@117Ender +chargeback in ULTRAKILL is when hitscan projectiles are reflected back via throwable coin. Its basically weaponizing enemy fire for ricoshots
@@117Ender a parry does not redirect an enemies attack to hurt them, it is simply a prediction and reaction that creates an opening for you to attack them, rather than them attacking themselves
I haven't played ultrakill, but holy crap chaining 3-4 coins together in the most perfect way possible to have an enemies beam right back at them is the most satisfying thing I've ever seen
speaking as a decent Ultrakill player myself, this isn't the only insane trick you can do. coins account for 50% of the wicked awesome style tricks, like chaining coins to make a railgun shot hit something 3 times. simply nailing the timing to interrupt ranged attacks (you can shoot weakpoint to interrupt most attacks, coins redirect shots to weakpoints) is also fantastic. anything with the signature *dink* is worthy of extreme dopamine.
and due to how it angles, it's more of a game of "can you predict where their shot will be" instead of responding to one that just hit you, and/or "can you trick them into hitting it even though you missed"
@@ChristopherCraven I know this might be difficult to comprehend but bare with me. Video comes first, then comments usually fill in what isn't said in the video. Mindblowing, I know.
I like to imagine maurices life flashing before his eyes as he sees that coin in the air... His young times as a simple *michevious* face His marriage with Miss Maddie Face His first time playing with his daughter, Melody Face And then being sent to the hell army to fight... Then right at that moment...charging his lazer to dispose of a simple hunk of junk, he sees before him a fucking DIME and VANISHES FROM EXISTENCE
i don't think i've seen anyone comment about it on any of your videos yet, so i'd like to say that i really love how you sync almost everything to the rhythm of your voice over and music. from the transitions to the gameplay itself, i find it super satisfying dude
Omg I'm a drummer now embarressed I didn't notice (this is the first video I see by them though) but that is awesome, I mean as if editing wasn't enough work already, that's its own difficult to execute elevation of quality through self expression.
It's actually a common advice with video editors to sync things up with audio! Beginner video editors think of audio and video as separate parts, doing one after the other, but they shouldn't! It's one if the things that is obvious if it's not there! and invisible if it is done correctly.
In this case i can highly recommend videos by Raycevick and Ahoy, both excel at syncing the narrative (both rhythmically and informative) to the shown video, such pleasure to watch these videos alone for this fact
I know how you pulled off each kill in that montage, and I can see how you did it right in front of me. I simply never conceived how those were possible. I’m especially impressed by the ones where you manipulate Maurice lasers to shoot the coins after you threw them. The fistful of dollar into sliding under him is my favorite, it’s not the most skillful move you presented, but god damn the amount of timing you needed was incredible.
my favourite part of parrying in video games is definitely the sound design, there is nothing more satisfying than hearing the vine boom sound effect of a successful dark souls parry! top notch video btw
@@DavidSantosManuel It's probably a little cringy but nothing feels cooler than being high level, walking up to a group of enemies, waiting for them to strike first then parrying them and absolutely destroying them. This applies to many games
Chargebacks are hard but jesus they look so damn cool and give a rush of dopamine to the brain, especially when it's a special type of chargeback like a Christback, and why isn't there a special type of style for using multiple coins (i know it'd be a nightmare to implement but that would be cool asf) summary: chargeback pain but give dopamine big, hakita where special chargeback type style :ree:
that 6-1 double chargeback made me actually hold my breath in astonishment, fucking amazing also now that makes me want to make a montage with aint nothin like a funky beat aaaaaaa
Yeah, "originally" the coin toss mechanic is to throw it, shoot it and the bullet/laser bounces at a target weakpoint doing great damage. You risk your time aiming at a tiny target to get a good damage, and if you time it correctly, it can split revolver bullets into 2 shots hitting 2 enemies. This single coin is a massively fun idea
that ending feels almost nostalgic to watch, seeing how clean ur editing and skill at ultrakill has become. said it on the original montage’s comments, but ur chargebacks are seriously lethal. keep up the awesome work, because ur in a league of your own :D
i literally have no option but to sub after using "aint nothing like a funky beat" for an ultrakill chargeback montage. srsly man ur the first and best one to do it
Although this is a great video, I can't help but notice this video is probably more for ultrakill fans rather than the general audience that has never heard of it. You should've introduced a little bit about how coins work because it definitely is a lot cooler once you understand that it's basically parry, but with extra precise aiming.
You know what's funny? I hate parries. I've yet to enjoy a single one in any game I've played. Whether they're easy or hard, flashy or simple, they never click with my brain, they never feel good pull off. I'll take a fancy dodge, block, or preemptive strike over a parry any day. The ONE exception? The charge back. Nothing beats tossing a coin and watching them absolutely get demolished. It oozes style in a way that I'm obsessed with.
I like dead cells parries. I suck so I use armadillo. It is hilarious rolling into bombs and sending them back. There's also the cocoon. It has a hefty 20 sec cooldown but if you are successful there is no cooldown. This parry parries anything because it's 360 degrees
@@Soulessblur armadillopack, acrobatipack, and porcupack are 3 mutations (one for each color class) that use what's in your backpack. The acro is the less consistent one. Porcupack deals one hit of whatever melee weapon you are using when you roll (with reduced dmg and there is a short cooldown). Acrobatipack fires off one shot (with full damage) of whatever ranged weapon is in your backpack whenever you fire a ranged weapon after you roll. (With a long cooldown) Armadillopack triggers a parry with what shield is in your backpack when you roll. (Short cooldown and no cooldown if you parry projectiles)
I think once fromsoft really made the idea popular through their hit series, people just kept using it, but no game has ever beaten MGR in terms of feelings of power from a parry. Though ultrakill feels good for the skill you actually need.
Sekiro and GoW have the most satisfying Parries EVER. Sekiro is entirely based on Parries and blocks, so it had to be mastered and perfected, which it was. GoW was surprising! I didn't know it'd be THAT satisfying to parry in that game at all
0:10 Trepang2 is definitely one of the games I'm most hyped for and I have been for years now. It's demo is so good and I was surprised to see it finally get updated not too long ago. Being able to dual wield the assault rifles and shotguns just feels like such an ignored mechanic nowadays, so it makes the game feel all the more special
i am just impressed with how creative hakita can get with the mechanics in ultrakill even if most off them arent really viable when you are playing the game but WHO CARES its cool thats all it matters now the only thing left is to just add a royal release type off parry and ultrakill will officialy have every kind off parry know to man
Talking about how mechanics make a game a game, just begs for a follow-up essay on "gameplayless" games, such as walk-arounds and visual novels. These games still have interactivity and player-controled pacing, and because of this, they're clearly something different from non-interactive media. But they're also clearly different from gameplay-focused games, so there's an interesting discussion to be had on the nature of games as an interactive medium there.
That’s a really neat idea for a topic! I’m probably not the right person to talk about it considering I’ve barely played any of those kinds of games, but I’d definitely watch a video on it.
HOLY SHIT THAT FUCKING LETHAL LEAGUE BLAZE TRAILER RECREATION AS A MONTAGE IS SO HYPE ESPECIALLY AS AN LLB PLAYER AND A NANORAY SONG AS YOUR OUTRO WHAT THE FUCK HOW CAN A TH-camR BE THIS BASED
Any game with parrying coincidentally has great boss fights, souls games, sekiro, ultrakill, MGR and DMC. Ultrakill is the only FPS game ive played that has boss fights that arent just bullet sponges that periodically shoot back and i think being able to parry any projectile helps with that along with the sliding. And also actually having a moveset that isnt shoot you and move like so many other shooters.
One thing that would have been nice is an explanation of what is happening. I don’t fully understand even what a chargeback is or how it works so I don’t feel I can appreciate how hard it is
...games, by definition of use is not synonymous to gameplay, but rather, to decision making. Hence, why we call game theory, and also why interactive novels are games.
My favourite chargeback I’ve ever hit has to be the time I charged back a Sentry’s hitscan straight into a mindflayer while in a custom level, killing the mindflayer instantly
Thank you for giving me the single greatest reason to re-download and learn this game after being frustrated with my bad aiming. Instantly subscribed. 💙
6:22 fun fact: hitting a maurice (malicious face) during the last second of its charge up (when the spark shows up) will make it detonate and deal huge damage to it. but the important part is that it counts as a chargeback. this is why i use them over the coins, because i can actually time a hit
Check out G_Hyze’s guide on chargebacks! It’ll set you up with some nice basic ones; just like any skill really, once you get down the fundamentals and feel of doing a chargeback on the fly, experimentation and advanced stuff will come naturally to you!
Cool video, but I just want to compliment you on the borders that match the TH-cam progress bar on mobile perfectly. If it's intentional, it's such a satisfying detail.
i think this would have benefitted from explaining the basics of how coins function (just saying like, gun shoot coin, ricoshot go brr, nothing deep) as set up for the reveal of how chargebacks work. to people who don't play ultrakill, they might be confused on what the coin actually is, and also how cool it is that it can *also* reflect enemy projectiles. nice vid though.
Parrying just feels powerful to me. If you miss a parry you get punished so much more then if you blocked or just moved out of the way. But when you hit the parry, man a whole dynamic of a fight can be changed. Add to that good visual effects and boom you have multiple people basing their whole playstyle around one mechanic because it's just fun.
I've never seen someone do a chargeback chain, but boy was it satisfying to watch. That was freaking eye candy, I can't even begin to imagine the Dopamine overload you must have felt

the chargeback is what happens when you combine the benefits of a parry, the style of a trick shot, and the creative freedom of ultrakill's gameplay.

...games, by definition of use is not synonymous to gameplay, but rather, to decision making. Hence, why we call game theory, and also why interactive novels are games.
I have serious skill issues that prevent me from enjoying something like ULTRAKILL, but god damn... even just watching gives me some satisfaction.
Likewise lol. I have a very promising career in video game journalism ahead of me.
Live chargeback reaction😫
Hideki Naganuma cranked that montage up to 11
haha you really did pick funky fresh beats, well done dude
My favourite chargeback I’ve ever hit has to be the time I charged back a Sentry’s hitscan straight into a mindflayer while in a custom level, killing the mindflayer instantly
Thank you for giving me the single greatest reason to re-download and learn this game after being frustrated with my bad aiming. Instantly subscribed. 💙
Hows the learning going?
that montage left me paralyzed in shock
8:29 This dude used 4 coins to make the number four with a chargeback wth dude
6:22 fun fact: hitting a maurice (malicious face) during the last second of its charge up (when the spark shows up) will make it detonate and deal huge damage to it. but the important part is that it counts as a chargeback. this is why i use them over the coins, because i can actually time a hit
you need to do a chargeback guide, i have a 100 hours on ultrakill and struggle to get a simple chargeback and you go absolutely crazy with them
Check out G_Hyze’s guide on chargebacks! It’ll set you up with some nice basic ones; just like any skill really, once you get down the fundamentals and feel of doing a chargeback on the fly, experimentation and advanced stuff will come naturally to you!
some of those chargebacks at the end are just SO COCKY and i am in love with it
THERE IS A PARRY IN DUSK?!?!
ive played through that game like 4 times and did not know that
This truly is the most video Game mechanic
bro i listened to the csm ost too much😭
i immediately recognised kick back despite it being so different and while you were talking
Cool video, but I just want to compliment you on the borders that match the TH-cam progress bar on mobile perfectly. If it's intentional, it's such a satisfying detail.
So glad you noticed that hahaha
Yet more evidence that the coin is the greatest mechanic ever conceived of for an FPS, if not games in general
i think this would have benefitted from explaining the basics of how coins function (just saying like, gun shoot coin, ricoshot go brr, nothing deep) as set up for the reveal of how chargebacks work. to people who don't play ultrakill, they might be confused on what the coin actually is, and also how cool it is that it can *also* reflect enemy projectiles. nice vid though.
I love you and your music choice.
Parrying just feels powerful to me. If you miss a parry you get punished so much more then if you blocked or just moved out of the way. But when you hit the parry, man a whole dynamic of a fight can be changed. Add to that good visual effects and boom you have multiple people basing their whole playstyle around one mechanic because it's just fun.
I've never seen someone do a chargeback chain, but boy was it satisfying to watch. That was freaking eye candy, I can't even begin to imagine the Dopamine overload you must have felt
Alternative title for your montage: "The whole world is in quarter speed to me"
0:30 I mean, that's hasn't stopped visual novels
This guy clearly plays lethal league
Did this man "parry" lightning with a coin?
Thank you for bringing Reaver to my attention!!! I LOVE IT
nanoray outro so based... subbed :)))
when you pulled the coin BACK TO YOU with the grapple that was wild
bravo
